I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 141: A Summing Up

Seeing Shang Xiong slowly collapse to the ground and die, the members of the three major families all breathed a sigh of relief.

With that old cunning man dead, the mysterious and powerful Young Master Gu should be able to calm down a bit. If he can calm down, then Yunling City can continue to live a peaceful and stable life from now on.

The employer who hired the assassin is dead.

But the forces behind that assassin still need to be eliminated!

However, this kind of thing is not something the three major families should get involved in. They know their own limitations, and getting involved without authorization would not only bring them no benefit, but could also lead to their deaths.

At least from now on, the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop will be the only dominant force in Yunling City.

Qingfeng Baoxing has now been completely driven out of Yunling City by pure erasure methods, and that Guild Master Feng will never allow anyone else to interfere with the business here.

"Senior, look over there!"

The Lu family patriarch pointed to a blood-stained man in the main hall, whose body was crippled and whose hands and feet were missing, but who was clearly no longer breathing.

That was another Blood Shadow Envoy.

He was the one who carried out the assassination, seriously injuring Qin Yiyao and Bai Feier.

Old Gu Tou landed directly on the ground, looked at the blood-stained man's corpse, and sneered, "Looks like this guy did it, but... he's dead?"

This was completely different from what he had expected.

Logically speaking, assassins like Blood Shadow Envoys wouldn't die easily even if they were seriously injured. After all, no matter how capable Qin Yiyao and Bai Feier were of making a comeback, there was still a difference in their cultivation levels.

Moreover, that guy just now even went so far as to self-destruct his physical body, using blood escape techniques to allow his primordial spirit to flee. He certainly has quite a few life-saving skills. But is that guy dead?

"Hmph, very good. This way, we'll have more evidence to give to that young master Gu."

Seeing that the second Blood Shadow Envoy was also dead, the people of the three major families were relieved, especially the three patriarchs. They all understood that now that the employer and the assassin had both died, they could finally report back!

Although I dare not ask that "Young Master Gu" for any reward, at least not disappointing him is the best outcome.

"Hmm...no, that's not right!"

Old Man Gu squinted and carefully examined the lifeless body, then suddenly frowned.

This is not right.

The physical body is dead, but the primordial spirit cannot simply dissipate!

Moreover, this guy had only been dead for a short time; the body could still be eaten while it was still warm. That leaves only one possibility…

"Hmph! Those damned scoundrels!"

Old Gu's face turned ashen. In his rage, he slapped the body so hard that it was crushed into a bloody mess on the ground!

"Senior, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing his anger, the shockwaves were so strong that everyone almost lost their footing. The Lu family patriarch hurriedly asked what had caused Old Gu's anger this time.

"This guy severed his physical life force, but his primordial spirit has already escaped!" the old man said in a deep voice. "This person probably used some secret technique to separate his primordial spirit from his original physical body, find another body to carry it, and then ran away..."

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.

The culprit actually escaped?

And judging from the looks of it, it's probably too late to chase them now. The old man sneered, but said unhurriedly, "But it doesn't matter. If Blood Shadow Tower dares to take on this kind of job, then there's no need for it to continue existing!"

He's definitely not in a hurry.

Since Blood Shadow Envoy can run, he must return to Blood Shadow Tower. Otherwise, if he stays there for too long, wouldn't he become a wandering ghost?

Where could Blood Shadow Tower possibly run off to?

Are we simply going to disband and then each of us go into seclusion in the mountains?

impossible.

If someone dares to take on a murder job, why would they be afraid of becoming a vermin?

In any case, the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop has already begun to search everywhere and mobilized all available resources. With such a generous reward, there will surely be brave men. In just a few days, they will be able to find the location of the Blood Shadow Tower's foundation.

"Gentlemen, the matter of Yunling City is temporarily concluded."

At this moment, the old man waved his hand and announced that the matter was temporarily over.

"You, Lu Yan's father, come here."

He glanced at the head of the Lu family.

When the Lu family patriarch heard him call his name, he hurriedly walked up to the old man and respectfully said, "Senior, please give your instructions."

"Give Shang Xiong's head to Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop and let them report to Young Master Gu."

Ancient first road.

The Lu family patriarch naturally followed orders, but he still asked one more question: "Then, what about the others?"

This Qingfeng Baoxing is not just owned by Shang Xiong.

Old Gu looked at the building, now completely demolished and in disarray, and at the people who had been captured by various families and left to await their fate... There were maids, hired guards and servants, middle-level managers of the treasure houses, and even a vice president. What should be done with all these people?

Shang Xiong hired assassins, but it may have nothing to do with them.

After pondering for a while, the old man said directly, "Catch them first, don't let any of them escape. Have that girl from Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop go and ask Young Master Gu for instructions!"

"Yes!"

The Lu family patriarch respectfully complied.
