After accepting the mission from the enshrinement hall, Zhao Shun did not immediately leave for Xiaozhu Valley. After waiting for three days, he headed eastward with his sword and arrived at Dingxian City first.
Because the monk who issued the commission to the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance was actually not a descendant of the Liu family in Xiaozhu Valley, but a True Infant casual cultivator in Dingxian City. This person's name is Ma Wenping. Together with his brothers, he has settled in Dingxian City for more than two hundred years. Due to the lack of various external resources, he has not successfully cultivated the Dharmakaya over the years, and his strength can only be regarded as barely adequate.
A year ago, Ma Wenping was hired to escort the caravan north in order to earn money. Unexpectedly, after returning to Dingxian City, he learned of the death of his brother Ma Wensheng. It turned out that not long after he set off, Ma Wensheng felt that he was short on spiritual jade, so he and two familiar monks accepted the reward for exterminating demons in Xiaozhu Valley. Although several people had died at the hands of the yellow-bearded rat demon before, Ma Wensheng believed that he was not acting alone. Three True Infant cultivators together could kill the rat demon.
Of course, the result of this trip was not only unsatisfactory, but all three people, including Ma Wensheng, were devoured by the rat demon and refined into a body of blood.
When Ma Wenping heard about this, he was filled with sadness and anger, but with his ability, it was impossible to kill the demon for revenge. It was assumed that in the Immortal City, it would not be easy to recruit powerful people in the True Infant Realm. After much thought, he decided to give up most of his net worth to a sword cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance.
When Zhao Shun went to Dingxian City on this trip, he first met with the entrusted person, Ma Wenping. The latter had been planning revenge for a long time and must know Xiaozhu Valley better than she did.
The sword cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance are at least strong men who have understood the meaning of the sword. There are few people in the True Infant Realm who can compete with them.
Similarly, if you want to ask such a person to take action, the price you need to pay cannot be small.
After Ma Wenping issued the commission to Wan Jianmeng, he didn't have much money left. This time, he only chose to meet Zhao Chun in a teahouse with a decent view in Dingxian City, where everyone was coming and going. Loose practice.
Even so, he also added extra spiritual jade, asked for an elegant room where he could talk and talk, and a pot of fine spiritual tea.
After waiting for a stick of incense, Ma Wenping suddenly felt his heart tightening and couldn't help but stand up from his seat. His palms were slightly moist and he looked out the curtain nervously.
I saw two figures approaching almost side by side. The former bowed slightly and held one hand in front to guide the way. Judging from her clothes, she should be the maid of the teahouse here. The latter was more vague, and her aura was as deep as the sea, which overwhelmed Ma Wenping. Chills all over.
The maid lifted the bead curtain, and the man walked in slowly.
She has straight eyebrows of appropriate thickness, which are as black as her hair and eyes. Her brow bones are slightly high, her facial features are deep, straight under the bridge of her nose, and her lips are flat without a smile, which makes people feel a little indifferent, and also makes Ma Wenping Don't dare to look more.
He turned his eyes away from the stranger's face and realized that the female cultivator in front of him was tall and almost as tall as himself. She wears a light green robe and an azurite belt with slightly complicated patterns, including auspicious animals, fairy mushrooms, etc., which gives her a cool and earthly aura. There is a fashionable jade carving on her waist, like a flower with leaves, but there are no tokens or other things that can verify her identity, so that no one can tell her identity.
Ma Wenping didn't dare to say more about the second half of the sentence even if he said it in his heart.
Not everyone can pretend to be a sword cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance.
The female cultivator in front of him was so imposing that she was already sweating coldly before she even spoke a word. She was probably an extremely powerful sword cultivator!
When there were only two people in the elegant room, Ma Wenping quickly invited Zhao Chun to take a seat, poured the tea himself, and said cautiously: "Ma Wenping, a poor Taoist, doesn't know about friends..."
"I am Zhao Shun," she put her hand on the tea table, and saw a token that looked like iron but not iron appeared, "I am from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, and I am here to eliminate demons."
Is this the sword order? !
Ma Wenping was suddenly startled, and quickly looked up a few times, and said with a smile: "Since he is the true swordsman of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, he must have understood the sword intention as rumored, and he will definitely be able to capture even the rat demon." !”
It's embarrassing to say that Ma Wen has never seen the true appearance of the Sword Order of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance. Now he can't tell the authenticity. However, seeing Zhao Chun's calm and calm appearance, he didn't have any doubts.
Zhao Chun's eyes moved and she guessed Ma Wenping's thoughts. She picked up the tea cup in front of her and waved it slightly, then brought it to her lips to sip, and said: "I don't know yet. We only know the basics of the yellow-bearded rat demon, but since many people have died at the hands of this demon, we still need to be careful and find out the details before killing them with one blow."
"Exactly, exactly," Ma Wenping didn't dare to refute at all, and quickly agreed, "My brother was just too impatient, so he fell into the monster's trap."
Speaking of his younger brother, Ma Wen inevitably had a hint of sadness on his face, but Zhao Chun did not allow him to indulge in it anymore. He immediately put down the teacup and knocked a crisp sound on the table.
"Fellow Taoist Ma invited me to come over. I must have something to express to you."
Ma Wenping couldn't help being secretly surprised when he was suddenly exposed to the central issue. After nodding, he took a jade slip from his arms and placed it on the tea table. He said: "This is what I have said to Xiaozhugu and Xiaozhugu in the past half year." What the yellow-bearded rat demon did to understand was also recorded by the nearby Liu family.
"I'm not afraid of fellow Taoist jokes. Since my brother's death, Pindao, the elder brother, really wanted to kill the rat demon with his own hands, but his strength was mediocre. Even if he rushed past, he would only be a meat dish for the monster.
"Now that fellow Taoist has been invited to take action, Pindao is also thinking about whether he can go with fellow Taoist and watch the monster be killed with his own eyes..."
As he spoke, Ma Wenping also secretly looked at Zhao Chun's expression. Seeing that although she didn't say a word, she didn't show any displeasure, so he continued, "There is something else that I want to tell my fellow Taoist to know."
During the period of asking for help from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, Ma Wenping was anxious because of the delay in receiving a response, so he issued a separate reward in Dingxian City. Unfortunately, most of the real infants in the city did not care about it when they saw that they had to deal with the yellow-bearded rat demon. Make sense. Just waiting for Zhao Shun to take over the task in the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, before Ma Wenping had time to withdraw the reward, someone else was invited.
"This Taoist friend who unveiled the bounty cloth also wants to go with us this time. I wonder if Taoist friend Zhao is willing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shun smelled a delicate fragrance on the tip of his nose.
The woman who lifted the bead curtain has an extremely beautiful face, her skin is as delicate and shiny as fat jade, her eyes are like ink stone, her skin is as white as snow, and her lips are like cherry blossoms.
Her eyes were agile, and as soon as she glanced at Zhao Chun, she smiled and said:
"I am Wu Murong of Jiuzhenmen. I look familiar to fellow Taoist fellow Taoist, but where have we met before?" (End of Chapter)
