Sword of Punishment

It took less than ten days for Zhu Yuetian, the owner of Zhu's Mine, to destroy Fan and Hong's family. The whole Jianghu knew about this shocking event. For a while, the whole Jianghu was in an uproar. Everyone was guessing what Zhu Yuetian would do next. What action.

Some people speculate whether he will take revenge on the fifth, sixth, and seventh Wu family, merchants, and Huyan family in Chishan. The first and second are backed by the royal family. Many people in the three families could see that they should have cooperated with the Fanhong family at the beginning, but Zhu Yuetian didn't catch their handle for a while, so he didn't do it all the time.

Also, who is that mysterious person who actually defeated the three innate masters in a row? The appearance of four or more innate masters in the arena caused an uproar in the entire arena. If he can defeat the three innate masters in a row, then this mysterious person is What level of master?Various theories emerge in endlessly, and some say that this mysterious man is at least a master above the meridian level in the cultivation world.

Otherwise, there is no way for him to defeat the three peak-level congenital warriors with his own strength, and some people speculate that this mysterious person may be a master of the top ten hermit sects in the practice world.

Anyway, there was a lot of talk, and at the same time, these people were also speculating about the relationship between this mysterious person and Zhu Yuetian, so that this mysterious person could help him again and again.It seems that Zhu Yuetian is the only one who goes back to Zhu Yuetian's sect. If it is said that he is an expert in his sect, it is impossible. In addition, it seems that Zhu Yuetian and this mysterious person do not know each other, so what does this mean? Woolen cloth? [

Now the whole Jianghu knows about Zhu Yuetian's Apprenticeship Ceremony and Auction Meeting two months later, which makes the whole Jianghu even more lively, and everyone is guessing who is Zhu Yuetian's apprentice, who can get Zhu Yuetian's favor, after all, this Zhu Yuetian did not accept apprentices in the first half of his life, but now he is in his 50s, but he still accepts apprentices.

In addition, the auction meeting held by Zhu Yuetian also made many forces ready to move. After all, the red red profound essence is so attractive that some forces can use the financial resources of an entire sect or family to obtain a piece of profound essence.

As long as any faction gets a piece of profound essence, and then uses this fast mysterious essence to create a magic weapon, then the entire strength of this faction can be greatly improved at once.So now the major families and sects in Jingzhou and some surrounding counties are preparing to participate in the auction conference hosted by Zhu Yuetian in two months.

Chishan Mining Area - Merchant Mine.

In a living room, there were three old men sitting together at this time, all of them were frowning, and looked preoccupied. The old man sitting at the top seat had a white beard and was dressed in a purple robe. He was about sixty years old, with two There is a flash of light between the opening and closing of the eyes.

The old man sitting on the left has a leopard head and eyes around him. He is not angry but mighty. He is tall and his palms are faintly black. The old man sitting on the right is the oldest among the three, with hair and beard as white as frost. Like snow, and the skin on the face is as rosy as a baby, and it looks full of energy.

The three of them were silent for a while. The old man with the leopard head and eye around him sitting on the left couldn't bear it any longer. Captured by the old man in the first position:

"Brother Shang, if you have anything to say, just speak up!"

The white-haired old man raised his head and looked at the old man with leopard head and ring eyes, and the old man coughed lightly, looked at the two of them, and said:

"Brother Wu, brother Huyan, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us now. Zhu Yuetian is surrounded by a mysterious master who is secretly protecting him. We can't do anything to him. The most feared thing is that Zhu Yuetian has ambitions. If he wants to destroy you and my family, Then he is the number one force in Chishan, plus you and I have targeted him before, although there is no evidence left, but a discerning eye can see it at a glance, and Zhu Yuetian is a person who must take revenge, we The grievances between the two will always be resolved one day, but fortunately, the masked mysterious man is not taking the initiative to attack, and it seems that Zhu Yuetian is not very clear about the identity of the mysterious man, so he still has no way to control this mysterious man Go help him attack other forces, but don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if that mysterious person listens to Zhu Yuetian one day, we will be in danger."

After a pause, the old man surnamed Shang continued:

"Now instead of sitting still, we should take the initiative to attack Zhu Yuetian. We can't do anything to him, so we can target another person. Didn't Zhu Yuetian accept an apprentice now? Then we might as well make a fuss about his apprentice, first come." We just need to get rid of his apprentice and divert his attention, and we will have more time to prepare by taking this opportunity."

The old man with white face and beard pondered for a while after listening, looked at the two and said:

"But wouldn't this expose us? Isn't this setting fire to ourselves? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

The old man surnamed Shang heard the words, smiled slightly, and said:

"Brother Huyan, I think you are smart for the rest of your life, and you were confused for a moment. How can we participate in this matter? It means that none of the three families of you and I can participate in person. As long as you participate, it is tantamount to suicide. I am impatient to live and go to die. gone."

The eyes of the white-bearded old man who had not spoken all this time brightened, and said:

"Brother Shang, what do you mean we should find someone else to do this?"

"Even if you find someone else to do it, but who dares to provoke Zhu Yuetian now, isn't this a big ambition? Send it to the knife by yourself? It's not that I haven't thought about it, but now no one will take this business Yes!" The old man surnamed Huyan shook his head upon hearing this. [

"Brother Wu, Brother Huyan, I don't know if you still remember that there is a mysterious organization called 'Shadow Pavilion' in Jianghu?"

"Shadow Pavilion? Shadow Pavilion..." The old man surnamed Shang and the old man surnamed Hu Yan kept murmuring, and they didn't think of such a sect for a while.

"It is said that more than 100 years ago, the 'Shadow Pavilion' that assassinated two masters of the 'Blood Hand Gate' who entered the Taoist realm, you two have never heard of it?" The old man surnamed Shang saw that the two hadn't thought of it for a long time, and smiled slightly , reminded.

"Ah! It turned out to be this Shadow Pavilion. Back then, someone paid a high price for Shadow Pavilion to assassinate two Taoist masters from the Blood Hand Sect, which caused a sensation in the entire practice world. After that, the Blood Hand Sect sent 20 Dao realm masters to encircle and suppress Shadow As a result, more than 100 masters were killed on both sides in a big battle, and the Shadow Pavilion has rarely appeared in the world since then. Some people say that the Shadow Pavilion has been severely damaged since that war, and has been secretly cultivating new forces, but this There has been no news for more than 100 years, but this is a legend after all, it is hard to say whether it is true, and the "Blood Hand Sect" is after all one of the top ten sects in the practice world of Xilu Kingdom, and it is also a true Yixie's sect, it is said that the strength of Shadow Pavilion is not inferior to the 'Blood Hands', and it is also a very mysterious sect, how can we find them?" The old man surnamed Wu and the old man surnamed Hu Yan listened to the old man surnamed Shang. The two immediately thought of the legendary event that happened more than [-] years ago.The old man surnamed Huyan even described the legendary events of that year.

"Yes, this Shadow Pavilion has not appeared in Jianghu for more than 100 years, how can we contact them?" The old man surnamed Huyan looked at the old man surnamed Shang and asked.

"Don't worry, you two, I already have an idea about this matter." The old man surnamed Shang said with confidence.

"Ah? Brother Shang, this matter is really imminent. Since when did you prepare in secret?" The two exclaimed at the same time when they heard the words.

"You two don't have to be surprised. Ever since Zhu Yuetian wiped out the two families of Fan and Hong, I have been aware of the crisis. At that time, I have sent my cronies to go secretly to find the Shadow Pavilion. The day before yesterday, Feige sent a letter saying that I had found the contact information of the Shadow Pavilion. Yes, it should be confirmed in a day or two, but you all know that the price of the Shadow Pavilion is very expensive, but for our future, I think it should be worth spending the money." The eyes of the old man surnamed Shang flashed , a trace of hostility appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

"That's good. The three of us will pay the money together. It would be even better if we could invite them to assassinate Zhu Yuetian! I believe that with the Shadow Pavilion, Zhu Yuetian and the mysterious man are nothing to be afraid of. There are so many masters in the Shadow Pavilion, and although they are notorious in the practice world, their strength is not fake at all. It is said that the Shadow Pavilion has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the overall strength is extraordinary." The old man Huyan said.

"It's just that the Shadow Pavilion will accept this business?" the old man surnamed Wu asked with some uncertainty.

"Brother Wu, don't worry about this. I'm absolutely sure about this. If they don't accept our business, then we won't be able to find their contact information." The old man surnamed Shang said to the two of them.

"If so, that's good, then we..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The old man surnamed Shang suddenly stopped talking and looked outside the gate, while the other two also looked at the gate in unison.

"Please come in!" said the old man surnamed Shang, frowning.

The gate was slowly opened, and two guards came straight to the three old men, one of them said to the old man surnamed Shang:

"Master, what you ordered is clear!"

And another guard immediately presented an envelope with both hands, saying:

"Sir, this is what you want!"

"Well, you all go down!" The old man surnamed Shang took the envelope, looked at the red seal on the envelope, and was overjoyed.

After the three guards went out, the old man surnamed Shang couldn't wait to open the envelope, and took out a piece of golden letter paper from it. After reading it, a smile appeared on his face. Then he didn't speak, and handed the envelope to the old man surnamed Wu and The old man surnamed Hu Yan also showed a smile on his face after the two of them finished watching.

"[-] catties of refined red copper! Although it's a sky-high price, but the other party can dispatch a master of innate martial arts to assassinate, it's definitely a chance to miss, it's worth it!" said the old man surnamed Shang with some joy and some heartache . [

"I didn't expect that the asking price of the Shadow Pavilion is really scary. To assassinate an ordinary person would cost 500 catties of refined red copper, which would be 50 million taels of silver. If we asked him to assassinate that mysterious person, wouldn't it cost [-] taels?" A catty of red copper or even more!" The old man Huyan stroked the beads of sweat on his forehead and said in surprise.

"Although the price is very expensive, it is definitely a great joy for us to be able to invite a master from the Shadow Pavilion." The old man surnamed Shang looked far away.

"After dealing with Zhu Yuetian's apprentice, the next step is to invite experts from the Shadow Pavilion to assassinate Zhu Yuetian no matter how much we pay. As long as Zhu Yuetian dies, everything will be fine." The eyes of the old man surnamed Wu flashed brightly. He gritted his teeth fiercely and said.

The three of them thought at the same time:

"Zhu Yuetian! Just wait, get rid of your apprentice first, and you will be next!"
