low-key is king

Chapter 73 Have you heard of Sanlang Liu?
"Senior brother, you don't want me to take on the second-level task, do you?"

Hearing this, Lu Xun's expression changed. In fact, he did not lack confidence in himself. That day in Cao Song's courtyard, he once killed the second-level monk Ding Mao.

But that time, Ding Mao was hit by surprise, and the other party was a pure monk with a weak body. After being approached by a first-level martial artist, it is not incomprehensible to have such an effect.

But this is the first time that Lu Xun has accepted the mission of the Hidden Killing Society. He thought of using this first mission to practice his hands. He didn't think of leapfrogging to fight, but he didn't expect to be despised by his senior.

"What happened to the second-level mission? What happened to the second-level martial artist? You have to remember that what you practice is the reincarnation formula of a hundred generations, which is the number one skill in the world. Don't you even have this bit of courage?"

There was a touch of pride in the brother's tone, and a hint of mockery towards Lu Xun.

This kid is now a perfect martial artist and a perfect monk, but he only dares to attack a martial artist of the same realm, what can he do?
"It's true, if it's too easy to kill a first-level martial artist or a first-level monk, I'm afraid it won't help me much!"

Hearing his senior brother's words, Lu Xun also turned around, stopped looking at those first-level tasks, turned around and went out, and entered the second-level task room next to him.

"The Flower Hunter, it's you!"

In the room of this second-level task, there are many fewer tasks than the first-level task. After a while, Lu Xun found a suitable task. The nickname of "Flower Hunter" on it made him very interested.

The cultivation realm given on the scroll is a small achievement of the second realm, which undoubtedly has some difficulties for Lu Xun.

But he knows that only the battle between life and death can make him realize the slightest chance of breakthrough.

According to the scroll, this flower hunter specially chooses the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, to sneak into the room of a good woman to do that humiliating thing, he is indeed the number one prostitute within the scope of Watanabe Castle.

From Lu Xun's point of view, there may be reports from the people of Watanabe City on the desk of the City Lord's Mansion, but it's a pity that there is nothing to do with this so-called flower hunter. Maybe the task of the Hidden Killing Society was issued by the City Lord's Mansion.

For such a person, Lu Xun naturally did not have any psychological burden, but when he came out of the second-level task room, his eyes moved slightly, and he turned his gaze directly to the fifth room on the far right.

"There should be no five-level martial masters or five-level monks in this small Watanabe city, right?"

Lu Xun muttered to himself, but the next moment, his face changed slightly. There were no five-level practitioners in Watanabe City before, but it doesn't mean that there are no five-level practitioners now. His father was once a five-level martial artist.

"Since you're here, why don't you take a look?"

Lu Xun murmured, feeling uneasy in his mind, and subconsciously walked towards the room with the fifth-level mission.

Because Lu Xun knew that if there were any missions in the fifth-level mission room, it would only be for his father.

What's more, with Lu Xun's mentality, he knew that what happened in the palace that day might have spread to Tianyang City, the capital.

The empress, who is said to be the sister of the third lady Yan Ruoxia, can't do nothing, right?
Lu Xun hadn't thought of this section before, but when he saw the room with the fifth-level mission, he had a sudden whim. Anyway, with the token of the ten-star killer in his hand, it was easy to open the room with the fifth-level mission.

Crunch!

Lu Xun pushed the door open, and a special aura came over his face, and then he stopped, because he had already seen a slightly blurry figure standing not far ahead.

The figure on the opposite side was dressed in black just like Lu Xun. With the dim light outside the room, Lu Xun could see that the other person's face was also covered with a mask, which looked like a... fox?
"There is a five-star killer in the small Watanabe Castle!"

This time Lu Xun was really shocked. He never thought that he would meet another person in the room of this fifth-level mission, and even that person was holding a scroll in his hand.

This discovery made Lu Xun's heart skip a beat. After looking around, he suddenly discovered that there were two shelves in the entire fifth-level mission room, but there was no second scroll.

While Lu Xun was shocked, the figure on the opposite side was also looking at him, and he didn't expect that besides himself, someone else would be able to enter the fifth-level mission room.

You must know that only five-star killers can enter this room to accept the mission, and the first prerequisite for becoming a five-star killer is to independently complete the task of assassinating a five-level martial artist, or a five-level monk.

This can already explain a lot of problems. Cultivators who have reached the level of five realms, even monks, are not so easy to kill, because their sensory ability has reached an extremely high level.

Killers pay attention to killing with one blow. After the sudden attack fails, their strength may not be able to match the opponent. There are not too many examples of being killed by the target in the end.

But to be able to enter this room, there is no doubt that he must be a five-star killer, and he must have completed the task of assassinating the five-level powerhouse independently.

At this moment, the breath in the fifth-level task room seemed a little dignified.

It is not uncommon for killers to meet like this, but they are usually in the room of the first and second level missions. This is the first time to meet others in the room of the fifth level mission in Watanabe City.

After a long time, the two sides looked at each other through the masks, and the figure opposite Lu Xun said nothing, and walked towards the door with the scroll in his hand.

It's just that when this figure passed by Lu Xun's side, there was a trace of aura that made Lu Xun's heart move slightly, and a vague shadow subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"It shouldn't be her, she's just a first-level martial artist!"

But at the next moment, Lu Xun shook his head, throwing those unrealistic thoughts out of his mind, but still stared at the back, unable to recover for a long time.

puff!
It wasn't until a soft sound reached his ears that he turned his head.

I saw that on the shelf on the left, there was another scroll at some point, which should be the "replenishment" of some special agency of the Hidden Killing Society.

As I said before, for the same mission, Hidden Assassination Society has no rules about who takes it, and the later people can't take it again. They will continue to make up a scroll after someone takes it away, and the scroll is worthless anyway.

It is not uncommon for multiple people to be assassinated in one mission, and this scroll reappearing on the shelf undoubtedly aroused Lu Xun's interest, and he wanted to prove his guess.

"really!"

And when Lu Xun opened the scroll and saw the title and name at the beginning, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, which proved that his previous guess was not groundless.

Because on this scroll, the target person is Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, who is also the only five-level martial artist on the surface of Watanabe, even if it is only a former five-level martial artist.

"If it's not the city lord's mansion, it can only be the empress who is far away in the capital!"

Lu Xun pondered for a moment, although he had guessed that it was the City Lord's Mansion, but seeing the reward of 100 million high-grade gold beads on the scroll, he instantly dismissed the idea.

Perhaps only the empress who may have controlled the entire court can have such courage, and only that can know how terrifying a Zhendong prince who has returned to his peak is.

Lu Xun clearly knew that the plan of Yan Ruoxia's mother and son might be just one part of the queen's plan. Now that the plan failed, the other party naturally had to find another way.

"One million top-grade gold beads, you are really willing to spend your money!"

After sorting out the cause and effect in his heart, Lu Xun sneered, took the scroll and turned to go out. Since someone has already accepted this task, he must make arrangements early.

After leaving the Hidden Killing Society, Lu Xun first went back to the Zhendong Palace, told Asha some things, and then went out again, and a judge's mask was already on his face.

During the period, Lu Xun also took a trip to the Tingxin Building and obtained some special information. When it was getting dark, he seemed to wander to the west of Watanabe City at random.

As night fell, the entire Watanabe City was shrouded in darkness. Tonight, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse. It was a good time to rob houses. Lu Xun also had some expectations in his heart.

click!
A soft sound came out from the dark night, which did not attract too many people's attention, while a black shadow floated past, jumped directly onto an attic, and then leaped in through the window.

"Oh, who are you? What are you going to do?"

There was a sound of panic in the attic, which sounded like a young woman.

She looked at the uninvited guest in front of her in horror. Deep in her heart, she subconsciously thought of a terrible rumor.

"Girl, don't panic, I have no malicious intentions!"

Although the visitor was dressed in black, his face was like a crown of jade, and he looked quite handsome. He first laughed, and then asked: "I don't know if the girl has heard of the 'Holy Hand of Flowers' Liu Sanlang?"

"Liu Sanlang? Ah, you...you...you are the Flower Hunter!"

Hearing the other party's self-named name, the woman in the room was stunned for a moment, and then her face was already as pale as paper, but hearing her exclamation, Liu Sanlang couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

"Whoever chose this stupid name is simply not elegant at all, and it doesn't fit my temperament at all!"

Liu Sanlang pretended to be angry, but at this moment he took a step forward, looked at the pretty woman, and smiled again.

This is the prey he has been looking for for a long time. In today's Watanabe Castle, this kind of woman is really hard to find.

"What are you doing? I'm going to call someone!"

The woman was terrified. Although she knew it might be useless, it was her only means of threat. The legend about the Flower Hunter became clearer and clearer in her mind.

"You shout, even if you shout your throat, no one will come to save you!"

Liu Sanlang talked and smiled eagerly, as if enjoying this state very much, he heard him say again: "As for what I want to do? Of course, it's the spring night!"
