In Nancheng District, in an extremely ordinary house.
At the head of the lobby in the mansion sat a middle-aged man in a blue robe. At this moment, the man had his eyes slightly closed, as if he was waiting for something.
"Master." An old man in a gray robe walked quickly into the lobby.
The blue-robed man's eyes suddenly opened, his gaze fixed on the newcomer, "Any results?"
“Failed!”
The gray-robed old man sighed softly.
Failed
There was a hint of surprise in the blue-robed man's eyes. Before taking action this time, he was 70 to 80 percent sure. Although not 100 percent sure, 70 to 80 percent was already very high. How could he fail
"How did you fail?" the blue-robed man frowned.
"The target's strength is stronger than expected. Those who took action cannot take him down." The gray-robed old man said helplessly.
"Stronger than expected?"
There was a flash of disbelief in the blue-robed man's eyes. For this operation, they had roughly estimated Yang Qi's strength and thought they had overestimated Yang Qi. Unexpectedly, they still underestimated Yang Qi. Yang Qi's strength was even stronger than they expected.
"The Black Wind Palace informed us that if we want to continue the assassination, we need to increase the price." The gray-robed old man said in a deep voice.
"Increase the price?"
The blue-robed man smiled coldly and continued, "These guys from the Black Wind Palace really only recognize Yuan Jing."
"Master, what should we do?" The old man in gray robe looked up at the man in blue robe.
The task of assassinating Yang Qi had already been priced very high, and now they were even asking for a higher price. No wonder the blue-robed man looked unhappy. After all, raising the price midway would not make anyone look unhappy. However, the Black Wind Hall had always been like this. There were not many assassin organizations that dared to challenge superpowers, and the Black Wind Hall was the most powerful one among them.
"Cancel the mission." The man in blue robe said calmly.
Cancel the mission
Upon hearing this, the grey-robed old man's expression changed slightly, and he said hurriedly, "Master, cancel the mission. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to them."
"Of course I understand this, but if we don't cancel the mission and raise the price, we won't be able to afford it. Besides, after this incident, Yang Qi must be on guard, and it will be even more difficult to succeed in the assassination." The blue-robed man murmured.
Hearing this, the old man in gray robe couldn't help but fall silent. The previous price alone had already made the man in blue robe feel painful, and raising the price again was beyond their affordability.
"We are not the only ones who want Yang Qi's life now. There is no need for us to be the scapegoat." The blue-robed man said calmly, "Give the order and let our people continue to monitor."
"Yes, master." The gray-robed old man nodded slightly and left the hall immediately.
"You are worthy of being a peerless genius. You have such strength just after entering the Martial Honor Realm. It's a pity that you have offended too many people!" A gleam of light flashed in the blue-robed man's eyes.
Yang Qi ruined the Corpse God Cult's years-long plan, and the Corpse God Cult, which was hiding in the dark, suffered heavy losses. The Corpse God Cult had long regarded Yang Qi as a thorn in their side. In addition to the Corpse God Cult, the Light God Cult and the Holy Sword Sect also wished to grind Yang Qi into ashes. Any of these three forces is at the level of a super force.
A cultivator who has just entered the realm of Martial Honor has actually taken on a feud with the three major superpowers. Isn't this seeking death
"That person probably knows this, so he just let us observe secretly?" The blue-robed man murmured to himself.
…
Tianjianmen’s headquarters.
When Yang Qi and the other two returned to the base, Lei Yun was already waiting there. He had learned from Yun Lan's message that Yang Qi had been attacked, so he immediately rushed back from the Chu Palace. After listening to Yang Qi's narration, he became even angrier.
"The Black Wind Palace is so powerful that it actually dares to assassinate our Tianjian Sect's people." Lei Yun said with a gloomy face.
Although the Black Wind Palace is a killer organization, it is only a first-rate force after all. They rarely provoke super forces like them. Unexpectedly, this time, they actually provoked the Tianjian Sect.
"The killer is not just an introduction. The real key is the person who hires the killer." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
There are many people who want to kill him, and it is impossible for the Corpse God Cult to hire a killer. After all, the Corpse God Cult itself is a force hidden in the dark, and hiring a killer is completely unnecessary. Therefore, the only ones who could hire the Black Wind Palace are the Light God Cult and the Holy Sword Sect.
"It must be the Church of Light. Only they can do such a shameless thing!" Lei Yun snorted coldly and continued, "But after this assassination, you'd better be careful during this period of time and don't let the assassin take advantage of you."
"The juniors will pay attention."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. A superpower like the Church of Light might not be so shameless as to deal with him openly, but they would definitely not give up in secret.
Facing a force like the Church of Light, unless Yang Qi's cultivation reaches the high-level Martial Master, there will be considerable danger. And it is impossible for Yang Qi to hide in the Tianjian Sect to practice in seclusion all the time. Everything depends on him to deal with it carefully.
"If you encounter any danger, ask for help immediately. I will let the Black Wind Palace know that I, the disciples of the Tianjian Sect, are not their prey." A fierce murderous intent flashed in Lei Yun's eyes.
Because of the tough style of the Chu royal family, the entire Chu Empire has a character that would rather break than bend. Among them, the Tianjian Sect is the worst. As the number one sect in the way of the sword, even if there is no powerful King of Martial Arts in this generation, the Tianjian Sect still has its own confidence.
With the publicity of Wanxiang Tower, the news that Tianjian Sect was about to hold the entrance examination spread throughout the entire Zichen Continent in a very short time. Upon hearing the news, the practitioners who had long intended to join Tianjian Sect immediately rushed to the capital of Da Chu.
The mountain range of fierce beasts.
“Roar~”
A deafening roar spread from the forest, and a huge monster several dozen feet long rushed out hundreds of feet and then fell to the ground with a bang. On the chest of the monster, there was a bloody hole the size of its head.
Whoosh~
A blue-gray figure flashed out and instantly came to the side of the dead monster.
"A four-star martial arts master's monster is really hard to kill." The young man looked at the dead monster, and a smile appeared on his slightly pale face.
"Um?"
The young man was about to decompose the monster's corpse when his face changed and he immediately checked the information on the signal talisman.
"Registration for the Tianjian Sect's entrance examination will start in eight days?" A gleam of light flashed in the young man's eyes and his expression became a little excited.
Tianjian Sect was the sect he had always wanted to join, especially after Yang Qi, who had passed the last entrance examination, became famous, which further strengthened his idea. The reason why the young man came to the Fierce Beast Mountain Range for training was to hone himself and make himself more confident to join Tianjian Sect!
Eight days is neither long nor short, but it would take several days to travel from the Fierce Beast Mountain Range to the capital of Great Chu even at full speed. The young man does not have flying skills, so he can only rely on a mount or his own speed to travel.
"Walk!"
After collecting the remains of the dead monster, the young man quickly headed out of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. Eight days was not a lot of time for him. (To be continued)
