Chapter 197 Acting and Traveling

Floating clouds outside the mountain.

Some assassins who have been lurking for who knows how many years are using extremely precious Thousand Miles Tokens to communicate across distances.

If Baiyun Temple knew about this, they would definitely be very surprised.

because.

Some of the talismans here are very similar to the Five Spirit Mirror.

They are called "talismans", but in appearance, they look like magical mirrors.

What's more, some very high-end talismans can already communicate with the earth veins through the earth's energy and intercept some of the information they want from the earth veins.

It's like hacking in the Internet age!

We have to admit that there is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

When a shield is built, perhaps the spear to break it is also being constructed.

The only difference is probably how long the time interval is.

In addition, in this world, even among the righteous sects, the harmony is far from as it seems on the surface.

Even though Baiyun Temple is currently in its heyday, especially with the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower monitoring the world, all the villains have nowhere to hide.

But secretly, countless treasures that could not be detected by the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower were refined one after another.

On one side of the letter was written:

"Zhong Lixiao has said goodbye to Zhengyangzi and Xuxuanzi one after another. He will definitely leave Fuyun Mountain and head to the Dusk Gobi battlefield in the Western Region in the near future. You can kill him as appropriate."

These assassins who had been lurking for who knows how long couldn't help but release an icy cold light in their eyes.

Even for cultivators, time is not valuable.

but.

Lurking for ten years just to kill someone is indeed a long time.

However, it's all worth it!
This is a favored child of heaven who has made his mark in the Heart Sea Pavilion of the Floating Cloud Tower of the Temple of War God. If the assassination is successful, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

It may even lead to Yuanying Zhenjun's crazy pursuit and revenge, and you may even die as a result.

but.

As I said, there are people who do business that will get them killed, but no one does business that will lose them money.

When the interests are great enough, what does a possible threat of death matter?
Perhaps Zhong Lixiao didn’t even know that his bounty in the dark world was as high as thirty high-grade spirit stones.

This bounty is high enough to drive all assassins crazy!
Once successful, even if he died as a result of the assassination, he might be able to go down in history and become the most famous assassin in history!

For assassins, their views on life and death are somewhat different from those of ordinary people.

Perhaps dying in the assassination attempt is their best fate.

If I succeed in assassinating one of the most valuable targets in the world, what would it matter if it meant exchanging one life for another?

but.

The area near Floating Cloud Fairy City is definitely not a good place for an ambush.

This place is too close to Baiyun Temple. If we fail to kill the enemy with one strike, we may not even have the chance to escape thousands of miles away.

This has been confirmed by some fellow killers with bloody facts in recent years.

No matter how cold-blooded a killer is, he is still a human being. He takes on missions more because he wants to "achieve success" or "get rich" rather than simply wanting to die.

Any assassin who is qualified and capable of taking on the task of assassinating Zhong Lixiao would definitely be a famous assassin no matter which assassination force he belongs to.

Each of them has had outstanding achievements in the past that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Despite their small number, they are also the backbone of various killer forces.

Once they lose too much, they will feel the pain!

Many of these killer forces that seem to be able to only live in the dark are actually very formal spiritual practice forces.

Except that they cannot live in the sun, in many aspects they are even similar to the big sects of both the righteous and evil paths.

They also have their own inheritance system and organizational system!

What's worse, some killer forces are also fighting for the true meaning of killing, intending to use it to become the most powerful force in the dark world.

Therefore, in recent years, the evaluation systems of killer levels among many killer forces have begun to converge.

"Bronze Medal Killer", "Silver Medal Killer", "Gold Medal Killer", and even can perfectly correspond to the Qi training, foundation building and pill formation realm.

If one cultivates to the level of Yuanying Zhenjun, he can even be called a "killing god".

Many of these assassins entered the world of killing, and assassinating important targets is essentially a way to accumulate murderous aura and seize good fortune.

If they could really kill a prodigy like Zhong Lixiao, their killing skills might soar to new heights.

but.

Since the "highway" of the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower in Baiyun Temple was fully opened, it has become much more convenient for the monks under the jurisdiction of Baiyun Temple to travel.

As long as you carry the Five Spirit Mirror, you can easily use the Five Spirit Mingjing Tower to enter the planned underground tunnel.

Baiyun Temple even made a fortune by selling temporary "Five Spirit Talismans".

This change in travel mode not only makes travel more convenient and saves time, but also brings about an unexpected change - the chance of cutting off the journey has been reduced a lot.

In the past ten years, the number of robberies and murders under the jurisdiction of Baiyun Temple has dropped sharply, and a large part of the reason is because of this "Spiritual Expressway".

Fast, convenient and secure.

Now it is widely accepted and welcomed by monks!
but.

Everything has its pros and cons.

As long as you know the location of the Wuling Mingjing Tower, a key hub on the Lingqi Expressway, you can basically know where the passengers will stay.

The critical Five Spirits Mingjing Tower hub also requires more and more monks to be stationed there.

because.

The Wuling Mingjing Tower has been online for more than ten years, and people have a deeper understanding of it.

We have also studied many methods to deal with it, but naturally they are not as sharp as when it was first born.

If you want to get to the Sunset Gobi battlefield, there are actually only a few fastest and most convenient routes.

It seems that these assassins who have been famous for a long time and even specialize in assassinating important figures have the most abundant thing in the form of patience.

"According to the practice of major sects to protect outstanding disciples, Zhong Lixiao is likely to be protected by a bodyguard. When he travels, he may disguise himself as another disciple of Baiyun Temple. Informants should be more careful, even if they are exposed at a critical moment."

The game between spear and shield always moves forward in a spiral.

In order to protect the geniuses of their respective sects, the major forces gradually mastered various powerful protection methods in the process of game.

but.

For example, the major assassination forces have naturally developed more incisive methods.

As for who will be the winner in the end, sometimes it’s hard to say!

These two, one light and one dark, are like the black and white sides of Tai Chi.

Entangled with each other, inseparable!
Even if these assassination forces are no longer capable of showing off, it is still not as easy as imagined for the righteous forces in the light to completely strangle them.

Even though Baiyun Temple had epically enhanced its reconnaissance capabilities through the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower, these "robber cultivators" and "assassins" still suffered unprecedented losses.

but.

They are still alive tenaciously, and have prepared someone to be sacrificed!
Once Zhong Lixiao is successfully assassinated, no matter how furious Baiyun Temple is, it will be unable to stop them from returning in force.

a few days later.

Floating Cloud Fairy City.

Since the Five Spiritual Bright View Pagodas were put into operation one after another, the already prosperous Floating Cloud Fairy City has become even more prosperous. It has suddenly become the "capital" of the White Cloud Monastery, and countless cultivators have flocked to the Fairy City to visit and check in.

As the central hub connecting the Five Spirits Mingjing Towers in various places, the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower in Floating Cloud Fairy City is definitely the busiest fairy tower, without a doubt.

One can even see that the Wuling Mingjing Tower of Fuyun Fairy City has been flickering all the time, and has become one of the most dazzling landmarks of this city.

is the day.

It was another very ordinary opening of the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower.

Perhaps in order to reduce the consumption of earth energy, several people were arranged into the same "shift" at the same time.

However, during this ordinary shift, one can see a man wearing the uniform of an inner disciple of Baiyun Temple.

He has a handsome face and his exact age cannot be determined, but his identity as an "inner disciple" alone is enough to make everyone bow down to him.

However, this person looked difficult to get along with, so these travelers who had gathered together temporarily did not dare to step forward and say hello.

As the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower flashed, everyone disappeared into the underground tunnel at the same time.

Then they all showed their magical powers and controlled various types of flying magic tools to travel through the underground tunnel.

The tunnel's blessing effect is so good that as long as the body can bear it, the speed can be continuously increased.

Lightning flash, chasing the wind and lightning.

In just a moment, the group of people who had just set out together were completely separated.

As for this handsome monk who was dressed as an inner disciple of Baiyun Temple, he was extremely arrogant and left everyone behind.

Even if many people accelerated at full speed, they still couldn't catch up with his exhaust gas.

This made many monks who failed in their "flying magic weapons" curse and swear, but also felt a certain degree of awe and admiration.

He really deserves to be an inner disciple of Baiyun Temple. His strength is terrifying. He looks down on others too much. It's as if his eyes are grown on his forehead.

And this handsome and aloof inner disciple was actually Zhong Lixiao who had specially disguised himself!

Zhong Lixiao, who has always been cautious, naturally would not put himself in danger.

Before setting off, I seriously considered the possibility of encountering an assassination!
Of course, he could choose to "fish" and use his hidden golden elixir strength and the magical power "Law of Power" to ruthlessly kill a group of assassins.

But in the end, Zhong Lixiao chose to give up.

because.

It doesn't make much sense!

Once his true realm and strength are exposed, there will be endless troubles. It is better for him to stay alive until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage!
After all, the death of the peerless genius Senior Brother Song Yue is a bloody lesson.

As for the matter of the assassin, not only did he consider it, but his master Xu Xuanzi also considered it very carefully.

Having learned the painful lesson of Song Yue, which made him regret for the rest of his life, Xu Xuanzi naturally did not want the tragedy to happen again.

In addition to giving Zhong Lixiao a life-saving trump card that could match Zheng Yangzi's Suzaku Feather, he also cleverly arranged a new identity for him.

Fan Zaicheng.

This person is a senior brother who joined the sect many years earlier than Zhong Lixiao.

He is quite famous in the sect and can be called a genius.

They also fought in the Sunset Gobi Desert for a while and achieved considerable military exploits there.

He just got injured some time ago and was forced to return to the sect to recuperate.

According to the normal pace, Fan Zaicheng should have completed his recovery and returned to the front line.

But I had some insights some time ago, and vaguely saw a chance for a breakthrough.

This made Fan Zaicheng very happy, and he chose to go into seclusion immediately.

but.

Only a few people knew about this news, especially after Xu Xuanzi quietly came forward to communicate with Fan Zaicheng's master, this news was strictly blocked.

The idea that his master helped him to make was to temporarily borrow Fan Zaicheng's identity to go to the front line.

First of all, there is indeed a genius named Fan Zaicheng in Baiyun Temple. He is not made up out of thin air, nor is he too eye-catching to attract other people's attention.

Secondly, Fan Zaicheng is a genius with good talent and understanding.

Now he has reached the late stage of foundation building, and this identity and strength can come in handy.

It will not overly restrict Zhong Lixiao's ability to display his strength!

Finally, Fan Zaicheng was also happy about this matter.

After all, you are just lending your identity and name for a period of time, and you can get extremely generous returns, so why not do it?
Moreover, this kind of thing is considered a routine operation in mature sects.

After all, some geniuses who have been hidden away will eventually have to go out and gain experience, right?
This method of using someone else's power to replace someone else's seems very appropriate.

I have to say that Master's suggestion is indeed mature and prudent.

then.

In recent days, Zhong Lixiao has been studying the art of disguise.

From entry level to mastery, he gradually improved his appearance and figure to be similar to that of Senior Brother Fan Zaicheng.

In addition, with the magical Five Spirit Mirror concealing his aura, it would be basically impossible to be discovered unless he ran headfirst into an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage.

In addition, in the past few days Zhong Lixiao also specifically learned about Senior Brother Fan Zaicheng's past and the various unique skills he was good at.

This person specializes in fire-related skills and is proficient in various fire-related techniques, among which the "Fire Arrow Technique" is the most famous.

For example, his self-created "Fire Arc Arrow" is famous for its speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Some people even respectfully call this unique skill "Fire Arc Arrow that Pierces Lice", which shows how accomplished Brother Fan Zaicheng is in this area.

In recent days, in order to play the role of Fan Zaicheng well, Zhong Lixiao has devoted a large part of his energy to practicing the "Fire Arc Arrow that Pierces Lice" skill.

Now I can finally show it off!
After all, Zhong Lixiao, as the King of Scrolls, has always been good at fire magic.

As for Senior Brother Fan Zaicheng's character, Zhong Lixiao had previously portrayed him.

As an outstanding inner disciple of Baiyun Temple, and having made a name for himself at a young age, this person has a very arrogant personality.

Unless someone is as strong as him, Fan Zaicheng usually doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

of course.

This kind of "arrogant" character is also very classic in immortal sects like Baiyun Temple.

Even if a cultivator who is quite kind in Baiyun Temple is away from the sect for a period of time, he will quickly become aloof and arrogant.

This is especially true for the more ambitious monks!

The main reason for this is that the identity of a disciple of Baiyun Temple is of such high value.

I don’t know how many monks want to curry favor with me. If I don’t act a little more aloof, I will probably get myself into trouble soon.

Zhong Lixiao had actually learned this lesson a long time ago.

Especially after the Taoyuan Zhong family had just completed a class leap, they met Sang Renju and Xu Lingzhen, and they deeply learned the essence of this lesson.

Zhong Lixiao believes that he has done a perfect job in playing the aloof Fan Zaicheng.

then.

Zhong Lixiao was on the expressway line planned by Baiyun Temple, constantly transmitting and transferring.

Time flies and a week has passed.

When he walked out of a Five Spirits Mingjing Tower again, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt that everything in front of him had changed.

The prosperity is gone, and all you can see is a vast desert.
