The sewer system in Yumen County is actually not very developed, and only a few sections are relatively spacious.
The assassin who assassinated Zhao Chen did not enter the sewer to hide, but to cover up his aura and get rid of his pursuers, so he quickly returned to the ground through another exit.
Immediately afterwards, he entered the mixed slum area, changed into another set of clothes in a shack, pretended to be a worker and went to the dock area outside the east gate to find work.
It was not until evening that the assassin returned to the city among the workers and took the opportunity to get into an alley.
Then, after he knocked several times at different intervals in front of a secret door, the door was opened from the inside.
Behind the secret door is a downward staircase, leading to a dark underground space.
The assassin was obviously familiar with the environment here, and soon came to a table at the end of the space.
"Jiasan, you missed." A faint voice came from behind the table, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Returning to the 'Emissary of Souls', the reason why I failed is because the target information given by my employer is seriously inconsistent with the facts." The assassin named Jia San argued with reason, "The information shows that Zhao Chen only has one type of big sun. The sword moves are powerful, but the other methods are mediocre...
"But in fact, he has at least four orifices opened, his soul power is powerful, and his swordsmanship is even more perfect.
"Among the Kaiqiao monks, even if his combat power is not as good as that of Yan San and Lu Zhen, it is not far behind.
"Considering that Zhao Chen may have life-saving items given by Yan Hongxia and Zheng Qingyan, I suggest giving up the mission directly.
"Or treat him like a mana realm monk."
The person behind the table thought for a moment after hearing these words, as if weighing the pros and cons, and then said after a long while: "This is the first business since our 'Yin Division' established a branch in Ganzhou. Even if it is the employer's responsibility, Can’t fail!”
Having said this, he turned his head and said to another figure on the side of the table: "Where is Zhao Chen now?"
"Reply to Lord Soul Seducer, Zhao Chen is in Yan Hongxia's mansion." A deep female voice responded.
"Yan Hongxia? Although the 'Red Emperor Yangyuan Sword Qi' is sharp, I just want to see it." The person behind the table chuckled lightly, then turned to tell Jia San, "I have taken over this task. .
"Also, your mission is changed to kill your employer!
"No one can fool us without paying the price!"
After speaking, he handed a stack of information to Jia San.
After taking it, Jia San glanced at it for a few moments, then bowed and said, "Yes!"
But at this moment, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Jia San's face, and then he fell to the ground without any breath.
There were obvious seven-star marks on his neck.
The person behind the table was so shocked that his pupils dilated when he saw this, and he was about to open a secret passage to escape, but before he could do anything, he followed in Jia San's footsteps and fell to the ground without making a sound.
A seven-star mark also appeared on the back of his neck.
In this way, people in the underground space fell to death one after another. It was not until they were all dead that a graceful and elegant female figure appeared and put all the dead people into a bag.
…
Northwest of Yumen, inside the Yan family's mansion.
Yan Hongxia's father died young, and although her mother is still alive, she lives in Zhangye, the prefecture's capital, so no one else lives in this huge mansion except a few maids and women.
"The person who assassinated you was probably a professional assassin. He retreated immediately if he missed a hit without hesitation... The people from the City Patrol Department were not able to catch him.
"And for such a matter, it is difficult to ask Uncle Li to use the magical power of calculation."
Yan Hongxia took several plates and served Zhao Chen while talking about the follow-up progress of the assassination.
"The military's self-examination has just begun, and the source of the leakage of sniper rifles has not yet been identified."
Zhao Chen picked up the chopsticks and tried a few bites of each dish. He had to praise Sister Hongxia for her outstanding cooking skills. Even the ordinary ingredients had a special taste.
After tasting, Zhao Chen wiped his mouth, then looked at Yan Hongxia, who was only wearing home clothes, and asked with a smile:
"Sister Hongxia, do you know about an organization called 'Yinsi'?"
Yan Hongxia thought for a while and then said: "It was mentioned in the information of the Daoist Office that it seemed to be an assassin organization active in Kyushu in the Central Plains...
"They have 'Ksitigarbha' as their leader and 'Ten Halls of Yama' as their backbone. They claim that as long as they pay the highest price, no one can be killed!
"You mean, the person who assassinated you was someone from this organization?"
Since the "Yin Division" is not an evil organization that believes in evil spirits, the Taoist Office does not have much information, and Yan Hongxia doesn't know much about it.
"It seems to be the entrance to a branch hall..." Zhao Chen nodded, then clapped his hands, and five dead people appeared out of thin air and fell to the floor.
Yan Hongxia was a little surprised at first, but she quickly came to her senses and guessed that the Lord had sent magical monks to help his beloved vent his anger.
As a Taoist official, Yan Hongxia had seen many corpses, so she didn't shy away from it and squatted down to identify the identities of these people.
"'Flying Thunder Gun' Deng Hui, 'Twin-tailed Scorpion' Guan Ping, 'Desert Wolf' Lang Zhongsheng... are all famous knights and bandits in Ganzhou. The weakest one is also a master who has opened the seven orifices and has just become a master of the inner world. .
"And the leader is Yun Jiezi, who is ranked fifth on the 'Yumen Talent List'.
"He is a traitor to the Yicheng Yunying Sect. Not only did he steal the sect's most precious treasure, the 'Yunxiao Crown', but he also split and sold the sect's direct teaching method, 'Yunxia Danshu', at many gatherings after betraying the sect..."
"And he later joined a certain young master of the Li family and became an outer deacon... In addition, the Yunying Sect's only magical power fell, and they were no longer able to hunt him down, which is why he is still living so well.
"I didn't expect that he secretly joined the 'Yin Division' and formed a new Tangkou in Yumen...
"By the way, although the Yunying Sect is unable to deal with him, the reward for him still exists. As long as he comes to the door with his head, the Yunying Sect will give him the entire "Yunxia Alchemy Book"."
Yan Hongxia's tone was a bit sad. After all, it had only been a while, and there were already five or six people missing from the "Yumen Talent List." When the next issue of the magazine came out, she was afraid she would be in the top ten.
The disappearance of these "heroes" has something to do with the young man in front of him.
Traitor of the Yunying Sect... Yunxiao Crown? Zhao Chen, who was on the other side, heard something stir in his heart and asked thoughtfully, "I remember that the "Xia Guang Yun Shadow Book" that you studied as a minor is the skill of this sect, right?"
"Yes, when Yun Jiezi sold the "Yunxia Alchemy Book" separately, the Taoist Office also bought a copy." Yan Hongxia nodded.
"Then do you know what kind of treasure the so-called 'Cloud Crown' is, and whose hands it finally fell into?"
