Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 154 Xu Zeli died peacefully

"If Brother Xu doesn't want to, forget it." Lu Zhan played with the bead and sighed, "It's just that Brother Xu's attitude is chilling. Once this bead is handed over, it will definitely bring a bright future. Although I don't have a way now, I will definitely get to know other people online in the Black Water Sect in the future. By then, it's better for me to hand it over myself. Now I want to help Brother Xu, but Brother Xu is reluctant to spend even this little money."

Xu Zeli's eyelids jumped, and he thought to himself that this kid was so annoying, but he said, "Okay, okay... How much do you want?"

"Well, at least one thousand taels, right?" Lu Zhan said.

"One thousand taels?" Xu Zeli's eyes went dark. The money he had saved through the Black Water Sect over the years only added up to five or six hundred taels. This guy actually wanted one thousand taels?

"It's not expensive. With this bead, you can at least become a deacon of the Black Water Sect. If you're lucky, you may even have a chance to become a helmsman." Seeing that he was in trouble, Lu Zhan couldn't help but pretend to sigh.

According to his plan, he wanted to give the bead to Xu Zeli, but if he gave it to the other party for free, it would definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.

He could only earn one thousand taels with tears, and then go back to get the beads back after the plan was implemented.

Xu Zeli gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Lu, I only have 400 taels on my body, plus the title deed of my family's land...other than that, I really have nothing!"

Xu Zeli became even more angry in his heart. No matter whether the bead was really precious or not, he would be killed if he failed to complete the task.

For now, I can only save my life first.

Number Two was so angry that he vomited blood. He didn't expect Lu Zhan to be so stubborn. However, it could be seen that he was loyal to the Holy Church, otherwise he would not hesitate.

"Brother Xu...it's me..."

Lu Zhan looked anxious: "I'm here to tell you that there are some taboos with the blood beads. Don't use them carelessly... What's going on with you?"

Not long after, a red light was seen rising from inside the house.

In just a few hits, he was beaten until he vomited blood.

Whether using the Black Water Bead to practice or to make contributions in the Black Water Sect, Xu Zeli would not give the bead to No. 2.

“Hahahaha…” Xu Zeli looked at his palm, then looked at the blood bead, and suddenly laughed out loud: “The blood bead is really a treasure!”

Xu Zeli spit out blood and sneered: "I work hard for the sect, but you are always suspicious and don't trust me at all. If that's the case, why should I trust you? I don't want to keep this blood bead for myself, I just want to test whether it's real or not. I want to give it to the captain personally."

"I've never seen you, how would I know if it's you?" Lu Zhan said with a stern face.

At this time, Xu Zeli's eyes were red and he pounced towards Lu Zhan.

The seriously injured No. 2 seemed to see hope of survival. He didn't care about anything else and shouted, "Are you Lu Zhan? I am the steward of the Black Water Sect. Xu Zeli tricked you into giving him the blood bead and sentenced you to leave the Black Water Sect. Kill him now!"

Xu Zeli's heartbeat instantly started like a drum. After returning from Lu Zhan's house, he injected his true Qi into the black water beads. Sure enough, the beads began to shine brightly, which was very magical.

Lu Zhan seemed to be thinking about something. A domineering Qi condensed in his palm, which poured into Xu Zeli's body through the wall and hit No. 2.

Even if a decent person becomes an undercover agent, he will still be very serious. It is difficult for his work style and habits to change. Someone like Lu Zhan, who is greedy for money and lustful, is a natural evil cultivator.

In order to prove that he is still useful, Xu Zeli will definitely cooperate with No. 2.

"Is this number two..."

Xu Zeli was suddenly startled: "Lu Zhan, why are you here?"

Although the title deed was given to Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan has not come to take possession of the house yet, so he can still stay for one night.

As for Lu Zhan's thoughts, he was completely unaware. Lu Zhan had already joined the Black Water Sect, so he was one of them. Could it be that this guy was an undercover agent? Whose undercover agent was so greedy for money?

Because he and Ling Jiaoyue had caused trouble in the group last time, Number Two must have become suspicious of Xu Zeli. It is possible that Xu Zeli's injury was caused by Number Two.

Lu Zhan hesitated: "No, he is my only superior in the Black Water Sect. How can I kill a fellow disciple of the Holy Sect?"

At the same time, it also confirmed his guess that No. 2 did have a trick up his sleeve. As long as Xu Zeli got the black water beads, he would definitely come to him.

As long as he can improve his strength as quickly as possible, he will naturally not be afraid of his coming online.

"No need to thank me. If I knew the answer, I would not have given this pearl to Brother Xu." Lu Zhan showed a look of regret.

Lu Zhan handed the bead to him and reminded him kindly: "Don't touch it directly with your hands, it will be poisonous."

The blood bead has been found. Whoever finds the blood bead will have made a great contribution. Number Two naturally did not believe Xu Zeli's nonsense. Since things had come to this point, it would be better to kill him and be done with it. He immediately attacked Xu Zeli.

"Shh-"

Xu Zeli raised his eyebrows. He was not unhappy in his heart, but rather a little happy. Indeed, if Lu Zhan had contacted other connections with the Black Water Sect, the bead would definitely not be his.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?" Lu Zhan suddenly ran in from the gate and looked at this scene with a look of horror.

The beggar looked at Xu Zeli grimly, revealing his yellow teeth.

"Boom boom boom-"

A foul smell came from outside the door.

In fact, this is not a brain-intensive strategy at all, it just takes advantage of the weaknesses of the two people.

First: The Black Water Sect never trusts their teammates.

Once Xu Zeli has other ideas, the two of them will start to fight with each other.

This palm directly knocked No. 2 through the wall and flew backwards. He felt that his internal organs were about to be shattered. He looked at Xu Zeli in shock: "You..."

After all, this is the fine tradition of the Black Water Sect.

Xu Zeli bowed hurriedly: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for your help."

Lu Zhan is a fisherman.

"Traitor, you're seeking death!"

But since Number Two asked Xu Zeli to do this, he must have had a backup plan. He would also be on guard against Xu Zeli taking the blood pearl alone.

Although Xu Zeli helps No. 2, he may not be loyal to him. Once he has the chance to abandon No. 2, he will definitely not hesitate.

"Hmm?" Xu Zeli looked puzzled and took a closer look.

"puff!!"

"Hahaha... Mr. Lu, stop pretending. You came at the right time. You humiliated me in the Wangyue Teahouse that day, and then you blackmailed me for money one after another. Today, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"

Then things came to the beginning.

Lu Zhan sighed, "Alas, this is too different from the amount I said, but... for Brother Xu's sake, I have to reluctantly give it up. When Brother Xu becomes successful, don't forget that you are a brother."

However, Xu Zeli did not completely believe Lu Zhan's words. Fortunately, the beads were in his hands, so he naturally had a way to verify it.

A beggar.

"really…"

Just now, in a desperate situation, Xu Zeli used blood to nourish the pearl in an attempt to absorb strength. Sure enough, the moment he connected with the blood pearl, he felt a force rushing into his body, and he turned the tide in an instant.

But if Lu Zhan was telling the truth...Xu Zeli felt a little moved.

If Lu Zhan was lying, he would hand the bead over to his superior and complete the task. Although he lost so much money, at least he was alive.

"It seems that Lu Zhan was indeed won over by you, otherwise he would not have given you the Black Water Pearl. This is a great achievement, but you want to keep it for yourself. Damn it!"

"I will..." Xu Zeli said gritting his teeth. When he becomes successful, the first thing he will do is to find a way to get the money back.

Xu Zeli felt cold all over and turned around to run, but he heard the window slam shut and the beggar broke in.

He put the beads away, tiptoed to the window, and looked outside secretly through the window paper.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

Number two is a martial artist at the peak of the Mortal Realm, and Xu Zeli is no match for him at all.

Because once he is given number two, he will become a low-level worker again. Being a worker in a cult like the Black Water Sect is no different from being a piglet in a certain northern region, without any human rights at all. As long as there is a chance, Xu Zeli will definitely seize it.

He looked at No. 2 lying on the ground and controlled the blood bead to hit him!

However, at this moment, another figure suddenly appeared.

He has been tricked into the Black Water Sect for so long, he has had enough. He wants to climb up and become the master!

After he used his own blood to nourish the pearl, he verified what Lu Zhan said. This pearl can indeed help people practice. This made him instantly overjoyed. Although he was blackmailed by Lu Zhan, it was worth it to get such a magical pearl.

At this moment, the darkness suddenly moved, and it turned out to be a black eyeball.

A smile appeared on Lu Zhan's lips. He knew that Xu Zeli would take the beads for himself.

But I saw it was pitch black outside the window.

Lu Zhan pretended to be deeply distressed and threw a punch without hesitation.

Number Two hurriedly said, "I will explain this to you later, it's too late now!"

But No. 2 doesn't trust Xu Zeli and will definitely not tell him the true function of the black water beads.

After returning to his current residence, Xu Zeli looked around and made sure that no one was following him before closing the door.

So Lu Zhan deliberately talked about the magic of the Black Water Pearl. Xu Zeli had joined the Black Water Sect for a long time, and his martial arts were no longer pure Confucianism. The Black Water Pearl must be very tempting to him.

Jinling was very quiet after the third watch. Occasionally, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard from the darkness. Xu Zeli rode the wind towards the suburbs outside the city, startling the night crows in the trees, which made a "cawing" sound.

Under normal circumstances, he might have discovered that there was something wrong with this power, but at this critical moment, greed clouded his mind.

Second: After being exploited for a long time, the lower class also wants to rebel. If they are honest people who only know how to work hard, why would they join a cult?

Third: Number Two was too cautious. He was afraid that Mr. Lu was an undercover agent and was deliberately trying to trap Xu Zeli, so he didn't dare to show up in person to negotiate with him. Once a third party was involved in some matters, there would be more loopholes.

He is really bold. He looks more like a beggar than a beggar with this stinky look.

Seeing that the blood bead was about to be taken away by No. 2, Xu Zeli was busy nourishing the bead with his own blood, hoping to gain power.

Although the beggar looked dirty and weak, he was very powerful when he fought and slapped Xu Zeli on the spot.

It was just the sudden knock on the door that alerted him.

Xu Zeli simply thought it was the credit of the blood bead, and his confidence increased greatly.

...

Not long after, Lu Zhan quietly came to the yard of Xu Zeli's house. He did not enter the house, but held his breath and peeked in quietly.

Xu Zeli had a look of madness on his face. Once a villain gained power, he would be more terrifying than an ordinary bad guy.

...

The night was as dark as ink. The sound of knocking on the door came from the quiet darkness. Xu Zeli, who was practicing with blood beads in the room, became alert instantly. He frowned and looked towards the door.

Then a sinister voice came from outside: "Okay... you really want to take the blood bead for yourself!"

Lu Zhan hid in the dark and guessed the other party's identity. No wonder he was able to hide in Jinling City for so long without being discovered.

The Black Water Sect initially tried to win him over because they thought he was suitable for being in a cult, but the real reason they went to such lengths to win him over was because they wanted the Black Water Pearl.

A wave of true energy was faintly heard, and Lu Zhan hid his figure in the darkness. Then he saw a black shadow flying over and landing in Xu Zeli's courtyard.

...

Xu Zeli died peacefully.
