The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 196 Cloud Shadow Sect

The sewer system of Yumen County City is actually not very developed, only a few sections are relatively spacious.

The assassin who assassinated Zhao Chen did not enter the sewer to hide, but to cover his breath and get rid of the pursuers, so he quickly returned to the ground through another exit.

Immediately afterwards, he entered the slums where fish and dragons were mixed, changed into another set of clothes in a shack, and pretended to be a worker to go to the dock area outside the east gate to find work.

It wasn't until evening that the assassin mixed with the workers and returned to the city again, taking the opportunity to sneak into an alley.

Then, after he knocked a few times at different intervals in front of a secret door, the door was opened from the inside.

Behind the secret door is a downward staircase, leading to a dark underground space.

The assassin was obviously familiar with the environment here, and soon came to a table at the end of the space.

"A third, you missed." A faint voice came from behind the table, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Back to Master 'Ecstasy Messenger', the reason why I missed the target is because the target information given by the employer is seriously inconsistent with the facts." The assassin named Jia San argued, "The data shows that Zhao Chen only has one powerful move of the Great Sun Sword, and the rest are mediocre...

"But in fact, he has opened at least four orifices, his soul is powerful, and his swordsmanship is even more superb.

"Among the Awakening cultivators, even if his combat power is not as good as Yan San and Lu Zhen, he is not far behind.

"Furthermore, considering Zhao Chen's possible life-saving items given by Yan Hongxia and Zheng Qingyan, I suggest giving up the mission directly.

"Or treat him as a mana monk."

The person behind the table thought for a moment after hearing these words, as if weighing the pros and cons, and said after a while: "This is the first business of our 'Yin Division' after the establishment of a branch in Ganzhou. Even if it is the responsibility of the employer, it cannot fail!"

Having said that, he turned his head and asked another figure beside the table, "Where is Zhao Chen now?"

"Go back to Master 'Hunting Messenger', Zhao Chen is in Yan Hongxia's residence." A deep female voice responded.

"Yan Hongxia? Although the 'Red Emperor Yangyuan Sword Qi' is sharp, I just want to experience it." The person behind the table chuckled, and then ordered to Jiasan, "I will take over this task.

"In addition, your task has been changed to kill the employer!
"Nobody can fool us without paying!"

After speaking, he handed a stack of documents to Jiasan.

A third glanced at it after receiving it, then bowed and said, "Yes!"

But at this moment, Jia San suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, and then he fell to the ground without breathing.

And his neck showed the obvious seven-star mark.

Seeing this, the person behind the table dilated his pupils in shock, and was about to open the secret passage to escape, but before he could move, he followed in the footsteps of Jia San and fell to the ground without a sound.

A seven-star mark also appeared on the back of his neck.

In this way, the people in the underground space fell to death one after another, until they all died, a graceful and elegant female figure appeared, and put all the dead people into a bag.

……

In the northwest of Yumen, inside the mansion of the Yan family.

Yan Hongxia's father died early, and although her mother is still alive, she lives in Zhangye, the state capital, so no one else lives in this huge mansion except for a few maids and women.

"The person who assassinated you is likely to be a professional assassin. If he misses a hit, he retreats immediately, without hesitation... the city inspectors failed to catch him.

"And for such a thing, it is difficult to ask Uncle Li to use his supernatural powers."

Yan Hongxia took a few plates, and while serving dishes for Zhao Chen, she talked about the follow-up progress of the assassination,
"And the military's self-examination has just begun, and the source of the outflow of sniper firearms has not yet been identified."

Zhao Chen picked up the chopsticks and tried a few mouthfuls of each dish. He had to praise Sister Hongxia for her excellent cooking skills. Even the common ingredients had a special taste.

After tasting it, Zhao Chen wiped his mouth, then looked at Yan Hongxia who was wearing only home clothes, and asked with a smile:
"Sister Hongxia, do you know an organization called 'Yin Division'?"

Yan Hongxia thought for a while and said: "It was mentioned in the documents of the Daoist Office that it seems to be an assassin organization active in the Kyushu of the Central Plains...

"They have 'Ksitigarbha' as their leader and 'Ten Temples of Yama' as their backbone, claiming that as long as they pay the starting price, no one can be killed!

"You mean, it was someone from this organization who assassinated you?"

Since the "Yin Division" is not an evil organization that believes in evil spirits, the Daoist Office doesn't have much information, and Yan Hongxia doesn't know much about it.

"It seems to be the entrance of a branch hall..." Zhao Chen nodded, then clapped his hands, and five dead people appeared out of thin air and fell to the floor.

Yan Hongxia was a little surprised at first, but she quickly realized that she guessed that the lord sent monks with supernatural powers to help her loved ones vent their anger.

As a Taoist official, Yan Hongxia had seen a lot of corpses, so she didn't shy away from it, and directly knelt down to identify the identities of these people.

"'Flying Thunder Gun' Deng Hui, 'Twin-Tailed Scorpion' Guan Ping, 'Desert Canglang' Lang Zhongsheng... are all well-known knights and bandits in Ganzhou, and the weakest one is also a master who has opened seven orifices and has just completed the inner world.

"And the leader is Yun Jiezi who is fifth on the 'Yumen Renjie List' and who is 'Smoothly Stepping to the Clouds'.

"He is a traitor of the Yunying Sect in Yicheng. Not only has he stolen the most important treasure of the master's sect, the 'Yunxiao Crown', but he has also split up and sold the sect's direct Taoism "Yunxia Danshu" at many gatherings after betraying the master's sect...

"And he later voted for a certain son of the Li family and became the deacon of the outer sect... Coupled with the loss of Yunyingzong's only supernatural power, he was no longer able to hunt him down, which made him still live so well.

"I didn't expect him to join the 'Yin Division' secretly, and even set up a new hall in Yumen...

"By the way, although Yunyingzong is powerless to deal with him, the reward for him still exists. As long as he comes to the door with his head, Yunyingzong will present the entire "Yunxia Danshu"."

Yan Hongxia's tone was a bit embarrassing, after all, it's only been so long, there are already five or six people on the "Yumen Outstanding People List", and when the next issue of the magazine comes out, she is afraid that she will be in the top ten.

And the disappearance of these "heroes" is more or less related to the young man in front of him.

A traitor from the Cloud Shadow Sect... the Cloud Firmament Crown?On the other side, Zhao Chen felt his heart move, and asked after deliberation: "I remember that the "Xiaguangyun Yingshu" you minored in is the technique of this sect, right?"

"Yes, when Yun Jiezi sold "Yunxia Danshu" separately, the Daoist Office also bought a copy." Yan Hongxia nodded.

"Then do you know what kind of treasure the so-called 'Treasure of the Clouds' is, and whose hands it fell into in the end?"
