Chapter 40 The Main Event (5)

Chen Fei was really worried about the guest of Fengyi. After all, the world is full of money. A hero like Fengyi, who is a hero, does not look like a person carrying a lot of gold and silver with him.

The price of the auction soared, and in a blink of an eye it had reached the terrifying level of 200,000 taels of gold. Although after Tuoba Huangdi came to power, he adopted the national policy of hiding wealth among the people, 200,000 taels of gold was already a very terrifying amount.

Because Tuoba Huangdi overthrew the orthodox Huangdi to power, he had an incorrect origin. After ascending the throne, he implemented a series of reform measures. The most important one is also a national policy to win people's hearts, which is to significantly reduce tax burdens and reduce local finances. Therefore, in the past thirty years, especially in the past ten years, the military scale of the government stationed in local governments has been shrinking, and replaced by the rise of some large aristocratic families. In the thirty years since Tuoba Huangdi came to power, the large aristocratic families have relied on their mutual horizontal and vertical connections to create monopoly trade, and their power has reached the peak of the sky. Two hundred thousand taels of gold, with silver notes, can they absolutely not be exchanged; only by going to famous money houses in some places can the denominations on the silver notes be exchanged.

It is worth mentioning that in recent times, the prosperity of trade and trade has reached, and merchants have become rich. Although the people's lives have not improved under this situation, they can still survive with the regular relief of the Buddhist sect.

This formed a balance. On the one hand, the Buddhist sect asked for money from merchants and gentry to help the poor people; on the other hand, merchants and gentry made a lot of money from poor people, exploited them, and were arrogant, extravagant and lustful, and did everything they could. Under the parallel effect of these two, the government restrained its functions and allowed the free development of local forces.

The government power, which originally occupied the most important position among the three, was decentralized by Tuoba Huangdi's intentional exercise, which made local chaebols grow wildly like mushrooms after a rain and gather wealth crazily. These unkind guys were unwilling to give out even a little of the wealth they had obtained to ordinary people, so the Buddha had to mediate from it, use their influence to force the chaebols to take out the money in their pockets.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Buddha sect is as important as a savior, and has a sacred status. Even if ordinary people do not have firm beliefs, they are full of worship and do not allow others to blaspheme. For the high-ranking officials and nobles in the upper class, the Buddha sect is like a knife inserted into the heart, showing an opposite situation with the Buddha sect. People from the Buddha sect like Monk Changzang are typical examples. The upper class of the empire always wants to get rid of it quickly, but they are powerless.

After all, wealth cannot buy the earth-shaking magical powers of the masters of the Buddha Sect.

What Chen Fei did not notice was that his intention to invade the Dao Sect into a noble society and thus form a situation of competing with the Buddhist Sect was actually intensifying the conflict between the upper class and the lower class, or in other words, helping the nobles standing in a high position to further exploit the people at the bottom. He was actually developing in the direction he hated the most.

He did not realize this at this moment, so after a few years, he almost caused irreversible consequences. I will not say this for now, so I will talk about it later.

The price of the Bone Sword soared, and finally reached the terrifying 250,000 taels of gold. After reaching this number, the Singer, one of the competitors, finally hesitated. It seems that his bottom line is 250,000 taels of gold. If this number exceeds his bottom line, it will exceed his bottom line.

He looked at the other party with a strange look, as if he was going to find some important information from the round, smirking face. The fat man who bid with him was still pouring snacks into his mouth, looking like he was not caring. It seemed that no matter how much the price went today, he was determined to win. His stomach was like a trash can. The snacks entered his mouth, and he was swallowed up without seeing how to chew them.

The fat man was wearing a white dress, wearing a gold badge on his chest, his belly was so big that he was not long, his hair was combed neatly with oil and shiny tiles, which was actually an exaggerated middle-parted look. He was not tall, his cheeks were protruding outward, and the flesh on it looked tight, not as swollen as Lei Zongheng, but the evil smile at the corners of his mouth made people uncomfortable, as if he was brewing some evil idea.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the guest of Fengyi gave up and continued to increase the price. He stood up from behind the screen and said to the fat man not far away: "I heard that the leader of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect, had an adopted son, who was born white and fat, but he was a good assassination man. He once committed the case of assassinating the deputy island master of Penglai Island. Although it was not successful, it was also a shock. The man was named Yan Jie, can you know him?"

"If you don't know, don't know, how could I know such a troublesome thing?" The fat man continued to throw snacks into his mouth. His belly was too big and he could only spread his body flat while sitting in his seat, which looked very funny.

The guest of the Fengyi continued, "It is said that Yan Jie often takes over assassination missions, and sometimes he needs to wait for the hunted object, and he doesn't drink or eat, and he can't act. Therefore, he develops the habit of overeating. He eats scattered on weekdays. When he accepts the mission, he doesn't eat or drink water for several days and nights. At the same time, he doesn't close his eyes to rest for several days and nights, waiting for the best time to assassinate the prey. Because of this bad habit, his status in the Demon Sect is not even lower than that of Yan Tianqing, the biological son of the leader of the Pluto Sect, and people in the sect are even used to calling him Death Jie."

"Is there such a thing?" Although he was still confused, the fat man did stop eating.

The guest of the Fengyi walked towards him and said in a stronger tone, "Yan Jie often accepts assassin missions that ordinary assassins dare not take over in the black market, and he can always complete well and rarely fail, so he accumulates wealth that is as rich as a country. There are rumors that he has a stronghold in the world, and all the gold, silver and treasures are accumulated in it."

"Haha, it turns out that there are such strange people in the world." The fat man twisted his butt and stood up from his seat with great effort. When he stood up, he realized that his legs were really short. "However, what I was curious about is how could you be so well-knowing about a killer that everyone feared."

The guest of the Fengyi turned his back to him, as if he was intentionally giving the empty door to the other party. He opened his arms and said to everyone behind the screen like a speech: "Yan Jie, oh no, it's more appropriate to call Death Jie. He ranks thirteenth on the killer list. No. 1, no one knows the legend about him, no one knows, and no one knows it, and no one says it is."

The Grand Prix and Guest made such loud publicity that the high-ranking officials and nobles behind the screen could hear the implicit sound in his words, and instead fell silent.

According to the Stunyike, this man named Yan Jie seems to be very similar to the fat man in front of him!

At this moment, the storm surged in Chen Fei's heart. Yan Jie, the adopted son of the sect leader of the Pluto Sect, and the assassin ranked 13th in the assassination world? Such a person actually appeared in Cuilanxuan with a swagger, facing the guest of the righteous path, and was close to his rising star on the main peak of Shushan, without any tension. As expected, this place on earth is a place where fish and dragons are mixed.

If the guest of the Curtain had not said it personally, he wouldn't have known that the Holy Sect Master praised by the Demon Sect, in addition to his biological son Yan Tianqing, also had an adopted son named Yan Jie. In comparison, Yan Jie was a little more normal. He did not hide his true face under the wooden helmet all day long like Yan Tianqing. Think deeper, the demon of the Demon Sect was right in front of him. Should he eliminate harm for the people and take this opportunity to be abolish him and avoid a serious trouble in the righteous path.

Chen Fei looked at the fat man behind Guest Ruiyi. Seeing that he still had a wicked smile on his face, his eyes were biting the empty door behind Guest Ruiyi. He looked eager to try, and he became more determined to think in his heart. It seemed that this fat man was undoubtedly Yan Jie.

The guest of the Curtain pointed out his identity in person, was it to force him away?

He secretly felt sweat for the guest of the straw raincoat with the empty door open, and thought to himself: You are really trying your best.

Assassination Skill! When confronting the Demon Sect in Longhu Mountain, Chen Fei once saw a stalker who was good at assassinating the Demon Sect who used the Spirit Gathering Bow. After Zhongli Rui's death, the Spirit Gathering Bow and the relics of Senior Brother Zhongli were placed together, and together with the house where Senior Brother Zhongli slept before his death, they were sealed forever.

To be precise, Chen Fei has not fought with the stalker, but some clues can be found from Uncle Yun’s various introductions to this type of person. Killers are not exactly the same as ordinary cultivators. The value of the killer lies in assassination, that is, killing the enemy silently. To this end, they must first learn to hide their bodies and ensure that they are unexpected when taking action; then they must learn to escape and ensure that they can evacuate safely after completing the task; finally, they must learn to observe. Only by being able to observe and master the every move of the prey can they choose the best time to be fatal.

There is no profession of stalker on Shushan. The Demon Sect Liegongtang specializes in training this group of people. I believe Yan Jie has learned his killer skills from Liegongtang.

The guest of the straw raincoat with a wide open door was waiting for Yan Jie to come forward and attack him. The other party was slow to take action, so he turned around and looked at Yan Jie: "It is said that Yan Jie is four feet tall, short and fat. His biggest hobby is to eat... Yan Jie is a member of the Demon Sect, and is also the thirteenth person in the killer world. He is the wanted target of my right path, Taoism and Buddhism in the world. Especially the assassination of the deputy island master of Penglai Island has caused anger on the entire Penglai Immortal Island. Do Lord Xuan know about this?"

The Lord Cuilan Xuanxuan is a man with the star name of Penglai Fairy Island. How could he not know about the assassination of the deputy island owner? However, he organized a black market transaction to build a platform to make profits for himself. Therefore, no matter whether it is the Demon Cult or the Right Way, as long as he can afford money, it doesn’t matter.

Now he was mentioned by the Guest of the Stork in public. Considering his identity as an immortal in Penglai Immortal Island, he could only say: "In the next world, mortals cannot know about immortals, but they always have certain connections. I heard by chance that there were indeed rumors three years ago that a brave assassin committed a huge case of assassinating the deputy island owner of Penglai Immortal Island and escaped unscrupulously."

"That's right. The people in the Demon Cult are bold and arbitrary. The killers of the Demon Cult are extremely harmful and everyone can kill them." The guest of the Strawy took a step forward, and his eyes hidden under the Strawy hat burst out with sharp light. "Have you heard of the legend about Yan Jie?"

"Haha." The fat man faced the gaze of the guest of the raincoat and threw a nut that was not peeled into his mouth and chewed it. "In the next world, merchants, without the vast connections as many as Lord Xuan, cannot know about the immortals. However, I think this bone sword is very consistent with your style, and it determines the beauty of adulthood and will no longer increase the price."

"Thank you then." Seeing that the intimidation method was effective, the guest bowed to him. What the people around him couldn't see was that when he was talking to the fat man in front of him, the aura on his body had already locked the other party, so no matter what abnormal movements the other party had, he could not escape from his palm.

The gentleman of Chaohuafeng's Qi-seeking technique is best at controlling the Qi and fighting in close combat. In this closed space, it is the home court of the Sanyiga. What's more, he is a person of the same generation as Yin Chaohua. He is a whole round bigger than Yan Jie, and his strength is naturally above Yan Jie. As a killer, Yan Jie is the sharpest in the gap in strength and knows this very well, so he has not taken action for a long time.

"But!" The fat man changed his mind, "The so-called crime of possessing a treasure, the fact that three bone swords can summon Chiyou's mounts, whether it is true or false, is always a thought. If you have such an incredible treasure, you may be coveted by others."

The guest of the windbreaker heard the threat in his words and sneered: "You don't need to worry about this."

The two of them returned to their respective positions. After Yan Jie sat back to his seat, the waitress next to him suddenly fell to the ground, his face turned black, bleeding from his seven orifices, and he died of convulsions. He was extremely miserable.

The black blood polluted the ground red, and the whole Cuilanxuan suddenly became quiet.

A sharp light appeared in the eyes of the Lord Cuilan Xuanxuan. He hesitated for a moment, and finally suppressed it and waved to the people around him, "Go and clean up the body."

The two martial artists immediately stepped forward, but heard him say, "There is poison in the blood, don't touch it."

Shen Fei looked at the waitress who fell to the ground and died tragically, looked at her desperate eyes with her eyes closed and her extremely pale face, her body polluted by blood, and a burst of anger rose in her heart, and she slowly clenched her fists: "Demon Cult!"
