In the courtyard, it was so quiet that you could clearly hear a pin drop. All the Seven Star Tower masters were staring at Wu Yuan.
No one dared to move.
Everyone was frightened by this knife.
Lord Ma, who had always seemed indifferent, saw his hair falling down in front of him, his pupils also shrank, and a trace of fear flashed involuntarily.
God!
Although he is not a top expert, nor is he ranked among the top players, in terms of strength, he is still ranked among the top two or three hundred.
Otherwise, how can we suppress a group of arrogant soldiers under our command?
But Wu Yuan’s sword!
It was incredibly fast. It can be said that if Wu Yuan had wanted to kill him just now, his head would have already fallen to the ground.
A full breath of time.
"Ahem."
Only then did Lord Ma regain his composure, his laughter concealing his fear: "Senior Qianshan is joking, your strength is certainly enough to accept a five-star mission."
"Deacon Zang, show the mission list to Senior Qianshan." Lord Ma couldn't help but change his name to 'Senior'.
Obviously.
The strength shown by Wu Yuan is much higher than his ranking on the list of people as a "dark sword".
He is definitely not the kind of top player who is at the bottom of the pile.
There are only twenty or thirty such people in Jiangzhou thousands of miles away!
"Yes." A master in the courtyard said in a low voice.
Whoosh! In a flash, he rushed into a nearby room and quickly took out a file.
Presented to Wu Yuan.
"Senior, please look at the last page. There are two five-star missions." Lord Ma said softly: "There are very few five-star missions. Firstly, there are only so many five-star assassination targets in Jiangzhou. Secondly, the price is very
It’s so high that ordinary forces can’t bear it.”
"Plus there's a time limit."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly, flipped through the file, and turned directly to the last page.
There are two five-star tasks posted on it.
The first task.
"Wu Yuan, a disciple of the Yunwu Hall of the Hengyun Sect, is number one on the "Jiangzhou Genius List". He is only sixteen years old and should be a second-rate master. Kill him; this mission is a five-star mission.
Mission reward: five million taels of silver, or two and a half million merit points.
Requirement: Be sure to kill before September of 3226 in the Eastern Wu Calendar. You can use all means to kill the target!"
At first glance, it seems like an easy task.
"Kill Wu Yuan?"
Wu Yuan said softly: "Is this Wu Yuan the one who has become famous in Jiangzhou in the past two years?"
"Yes, it turns out that the seniors already know his name, so you should understand how talented he is." Lord Ma nodded and said, "His personal strength is not worth mentioning."
"It's just that he has been practicing in Yunshan now. Yunshan is the home base of Hengyun Sect. He must be heavily protected. If he wants to sneak into Yunshan to attack and kill, he will naturally take great risks. It is impossible for a first-rate master to succeed. Therefore, he
It's a 'five-star mission'." Master Ma said.
"I didn't expect that this kid is quite valuable." Wu Yuan said calmly.
"The reward for a five-star mission is at least one million taels of silver. This five million taels of silver is indeed very high." Mr. Ma continued.
"However, you are in Yunshan City. You even dare to take on such a task. Aren't you afraid that the Hengyun Sect will come to you?" Wu Yuan glanced at him.
"Don't be afraid!"
"Not only our family, the Jiusha Mansion also has this mission, and even some second-rate dark organizations are secretly eyeing Wu Yuan." Lord Ma smiled and said: "There are also many sects such as the Jin Empire and Guiyu Sect, who are also doing the same.
Stare at him."
"He dies!"
"Hengyun Sect can't find out who it is at all." Lord Ma said: "Just like you, senior, if you accept this task and it is completed by other forces, you can also come to me to receive the reward. After all, it is difficult for us to confirm whether it is by
You're done."
"As long as Wu Yuan dies, the mission will be completed."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
How crazy!
His eyes moved down and landed on the second task.
"In the Hengshan Mansion of the Great Jin Dynasty, there is an elite army of ten thousand people stationed in the vicinity of Yunshan Mansion, the Sixth Army of the Eastern Expedition. The general in charge of the army is named 'Wang Xiaohe'. He has the strength of a top expert. Kill him; this mission is'
Five Star Mission'.
Mission reward: six million taels of silver, or three million merit points.
Requirement: Must be killed before June of 3226th year of Dongwu Calendar. You can use all means to kill the target!"
"This goal is somewhat interesting." Wu Yuan said softly.
"Wang Xiaohe, who has been the commander of the army before, just returned from the Holy Capital of the Jin Empire this year to report on his duties. Since he is not a local expert in Jiangzhou, he is not listed on the list. His strength is between 60 and 90 on the list." Master Ma.
He roughly said: "His personal strength is only secondary, the key is the 'sixth army'."
"This is one of the eight most elite field legions of the Jin Empire stationed in Jiangzhou!"
"Everyone who is a martial artist or above, and whoever is taller or above, is a first-rate master." Lord Ma sighed with emotion: "With more than a thousand first-rate masters, there are naturally many second-rate and first-rate masters."
"The military formation is tight!"
"It can be said that if you go to assassinate Wang Xiaohe, once you are trapped in the army, even the top masters will die easily." Master Ma said.
Wu Yuan nodded lightly.
Sixth Army?
"I have accepted the task of assassinating Wang Xiaohe." Wu Yuan said calmly.
"Really?" Host Ma was surprised.
"Otherwise? I, Qianshan, have never completed a task?" Wu Yuan said calmly: "Why, I can't accept it?"
"Haha, of course I can take it."
Lord Ma hesitated and said: "However, Senior Qianshan, when it comes to missions, it seems that you have not completed the assassination mission of Blood Wolf Gang leader 'Blood Wolf Wushan' more than a year ago."
Wu Yuan was stunned.
Forgot about this.
"I'm not blaming senior." Lord Ma said, "It's just that you didn't complete the assassination mission on time. According to the rules, the corresponding star points will be deducted."
"Deduct it as you like." Wu Yuan said calmly.
Star point?
Wu Yuan didn't care, he didn't pursue becoming a Six-Star Assassin or a Seven-Star Assassin in the Seven-Star Tower.
Lord Ma was stunned.
"Senior Qianshan, do you need the corresponding information?"
Master Ma said: "Because the reward exceeds one million taels of silver, even if you complete the task, at most, only one hundred thousand taels of silver will be deducted."
If you choose the information in the Seven-Star Building and the five-star mission or below, one-tenth of the reward will be deducted.
For five-star missions and above, one hundred thousand taels will be deducted.
"Okay, give me one." Wu Yuan nodded and said calmly: "However, if I feel that the information is not worth it, don't blame me for falling out."
"When seniors see it, they will think it's worth it." Lord Ma waved his hand.
Immediately.
The two of them dodged at the same time and rushed into the house. This time they waited longer, a full quarter of an hour.
Just now someone came out holding a dossier.
Wu Yuan took it.
"After we've discussed the mission, it's time to talk about rewards." Wu Yuan glanced at Building Master Ma, and then at the many masters in the courtyard: "Do you have any treasures that can be exchanged for three million merit points?"
This is not one or two hundred thousand merit points.
Three million credit points!
As a dark organization that cannot see the light, treasures worth millions of taels of silver dare to be placed here casually?
Even if there is, they will most likely be stored separately to avoid being served in one pot.
"It depends on what treasures the senior needs."
Master Ma said: "Most of the important treasures are kept at the headquarters on weekdays. Only after the task is completed will a time be arranged and specially delivered."
"Fifty drops of ancient immortal dew." Wu Yuan said softly.
Lord Ma’s pupils shrank.
"Within ten days, I will complete the task." Wu Yuan said calmly: "Within two months, I will hand in the task."
"I hope you will have the treasure ready when I come, but don't let me down."
Whoosh!
Wu Yuan was as fast as a bolt of lightning and rushed out of the courtyard in an instant.
A few people dodged and disappeared without a trace.
Only the last words were left, which echoed in the courtyard: "If I am disappointed, the consequences will be serious."
The sound gradually faded away.
The dozen or so masters in the courtyard looked at each other in confusion. No one dared to speak for fear of angering their landlord.
quite a while.
"Everyone, please go down first." Mr. Ma slowly said.
"yes!"
"Let's go!" More than a dozen Seven Star Tower masters dispersed one after another as if they had been granted amnesty.
Soon, the owner Ma was the only one left in the courtyard.
At this time.
A figure slowly walked out of the shadows.
He was stooped, dressed in ragged clothes, less than 1.7 meters tall, and looked like a poor old man begging on the roadside.
"Uncle." Master Ma said respectfully.
"I'm no match for him." The rickety old man's voice was hoarse.
Master Ma was shocked and lost his voice: "How is it possible? Master, you are the sixteenth master on the list?"
He couldn't believe it.
This rickety old man is his biggest support for the state-level branch of the Seven-Star Tower.
Without the support of the old man, how could he have secured his position as the host of the building?
In the eyes of Lord Ma.
Unless he is a master, even the top ten masters may not be able to survive under his uncle.
Because, the rickety old man is an assassin!
An assassin who frightens countless experts in Jiangzhou!
"Just now, I hid in the darkness, changed directions twice, and had the idea of taking action." The rickety old man said softly: "But the perception of Qianshan is extremely sharp, and the fingertips of my right hand kept moving, always pointing in my direction.
"
"The moment I was about to take action, I saw a cold light passing through his fingertips."
"He's good at throwing knives!"
"As long as I take action, his flying knife will definitely shoot out immediately." The rickety old man shook his head slightly: "Just based on the knife he used, I have no chance of blocking it."
"His knife."
"It's not for you to see, it's for me to see."
"Just tell me, don't act rashly. If you do, you may die." The rickety old man glanced at Lord Ma: "I may not die, but you will definitely die."
this moment.
Louzhu Ma felt a chill on his neck.
He didn't expect that the two top masters had already had a secret confrontation, and that he was on the verge of life and death.
"Uncle, what should we do now?" Master Ma asked.
"The strength of this hidden sword is very terrifying, and it is obviously inconsistent with the intelligence we collected." The rickety old man shook his head slightly: "Now, it is impossible to confirm whether he has improved so rapidly in the past year or whether he has been hiding his strength before."
"If I just hid my strength before, that would be fine!"
"What if it took more than a year to improve? That would be terrible." The rickety old man said softly: "However, his fighting skills should be comparable to the grandmaster."
"Master?" Master Ma lost his voice.
"It's hard to say." The rickety old man shook his head and said, "But there is only one thing. Don't mess with these Qianshan Mountains."
"Report to headquarters."
"Wait for the chief building owner to make a decision. If you want to take the Chujiang Order, just send the grand master."
"Haha, all forces want the Chujiang Order, but how can it be obtained easily if it falls into the hands of such a master?" The rickety old man shook his head.
Send a master master?
Lord Ma’s pupils shrank.
Although the Seven Star Tower is spread across thirteen states in the world, how many masters are there in total?
Moreover, several of them are affiliated with the outer building.
There is no way to order them, and they don't even know their whereabouts.
The real masters in the building can only be counted among the five fingers.
The key point is, how proud are the masters? They are all ‘seniors’.
Even the chief building owner of the Seven Star Building cannot force the masters in the building to do anything.
"If the chief poster is unable to send a master master." The rickety old man glanced at Lord Ma: "Then wait for the news."
"Once Wang Xiaohe dies, let the main building send fifty drops of ancient immortal dew."
"I have old bones."
"I don't want to fight against a master who is close to a master." After saying that, the rickety old man stepped into the shadows.
Disappeared without a trace.
…
In a sparsely populated street.
Wu Yuan walked slowly, reading the files in his hand with the help of the faint light on the roadside.
Each word was written down quickly.
"Just now, the top expert hidden in the darkness should be the 16th-ranked 'Shadow Thorn Mogou'." Wu Yuan thought while flipping through the files.
If it was two years ago.
Wu Yuan has just touched the 'situation control' level, so he may not be able to detect the other party.
But Wu Yuan now?
After more than a year of training in Yunshan, I have been completely transformed. No matter what environment I am in, I can basically integrate into it instantly.
Melt into the darkness! Melt into the wind!
Adjust as the environment changes.
It can be said that when Wu Yuan was in awe, the concealment skills of the rickety old man were nothing but a joke in front of him!
As clear as a light bulb.
Just don't do anything.
Take action?
"I would like to compete against the top players in the rankings to see how big the gap is." Wu Yuan was not afraid.
Perhaps there will still be a gap in physical fitness, but it is definitely no longer insurmountable.
Along the way, Wu Yuan was quite leisurely.
"This Wang Xiaohe, the mission requires that he must be killed before six months." Wu Yuan thought: "Is this mission issued by our Hengyun Sect? Or by King Baijiang?"
"Or is it an internal grudge within the Jin Empire?"
Since the time is limited, there must be a reason.
The reward to the assassin alone amounted to six million taels of silver, and the employer behind it probably paid tens of millions of taels of silver!
This is a very terrifying wealth.
Generally speaking, one has to be a Grand Master to have any hope of mobilizing such huge resources.
Why are there so few five-star missions?
An important reason is that the prices they charge for Jiusha Mansion and Qixing Mansion are too high.
There are very few employers who can post tasks.
"However, no matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter." Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with coldness and he closed the file: "Killing him is the most important thing."
Why?
The Sixth Army of the Eastern Expedition of the Jin Empire was the main force in the Battle of Hengshan City. Wu Yuan's father died in the battle at Hengshan City.
Wang Xiaohe has served as the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army for more than ten years.
in short.
Wang Xiaohe and Wu Yuan are the enemy of killing their father!
When he thought of his father's death, Wu Yuan felt an uncontrollable impulse and murderous intention in his heart, wanting to kill him quickly.
He understood in his heart.
This is the original memory and emotion.
The two of them are not so much Wu Yuan's time travel and replacement as they are fusions, but Wu Yuan's previous life consciousness dominates.
"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable." Wu Yuan said silently in his heart.
If you kill the opponent, you can also get the bloody mist, and you can also get the sky-high reward of the Seven Star Tower.
If he could really get fifty drops of the Ancient Immortal Dew, Wu Yuan would no longer have to worry about resources for a long time to come.
Another point.
"Ten years have passed since the Battle of Hengshan, and the Jin Empire has been intensifying its troops." Wu Yuan thought: "It was only because of the battle between Yu Taishang and the Eastern King of Jin that the Jin Dynasty temporarily stopped its troops and stopped attacking."
But this kind of peace cannot last.
The Jin Dynasty was at its peak and there were many great masters.
As for the Hengyun Sect and Grandmaster Buyu, as they get older and older, their strength will inevitably become weaker and weaker.
The short term is three to five years, and the long term is ten years.
The war will surely begin again.
In the last war, the main battlefield was in Hengshan Mansion.
Next time, the army of the Jin Dynasty will definitely point directly at Yunshan Mansion!
"Killing one of their top masters can disrupt their entire army." Wu Yuan flicked his fingertips towards the file.
Wow~ A strange force swept across.
The entire dossier was shattered into countless tiny scraps of paper, flying in the air.
"Every time the strength of the Jin Empire is weakened, the possibility of our Hengyun Sect's victory in future wars will increase." Wu Yuan quickened his pace.
Head towards the Star Tower.
Unknowingly, Wu Yuan has developed a sense of belonging to the Hengyun Sect, not only because of the sect's contribution, but also because of his relatives and clan members!
"Senior." The young man in black robe said softly: "This is the magic weapon level personal soft armor that you customized a year ago. Please give it a try, senior."
The box is opened.
A pair of soft armor that was completely dark and without a trace of luster was revealed. It was simple and extraordinary at the same time.
Soft armor.
This was a year ago when Wu Yuan came down from the mountain and was at home.
He secretly came to Qunxing Tower and customized a piece of soft armor using the third-grade magic weapon order left by the 'Ancient Ji'.
A year later, I just came to pick it up today.
"Wow~" Wu Yuan grabbed the box with his hand, and immediately, like running water, the soft armor was worn on his body in the blink of an eye.
There is slight elasticity where the scales and armor meet.
Fits great!
Soft armor only protects the vital parts of the torso, so its defensive power is much weaker than heavy armor that protects the whole body.
The advantage is flexibility.
"Yes, it is indeed a divine weapon-level soft armor." Wu Yuan held the edge of the soft armor with his hand, exerted a slight force, and more than 200,000 kilograms of force poured in.
Not moving at all.
It is indeed a divine weapon material!
"It does not affect the flexibility in battle at all." Wu Yuan was very satisfied with this soft armor.
The products produced by Qunxinglou must be of high quality, and this statement is true.
For real masters, protecting the vital points is enough; flexibility is the most important thing.
"OK!"
"I'm leaving." Wu Yuan stood up, dropped the token with a wave of his hand, and quickly left the Star Tower.
Just as Wu Yuan expected, Qunxing Tower sent out ‘eyes’.
It's a pity that he was easily thrown away.
When the first ray of light in the morning comes on, cockcrows can be heard one after another in the city.
The city guard opened the city gate.
Following the surging crowd, Wu Yuan left Yunshan Mansion.
…
It was the evening of the second day after leaving Yunshan City.
Nanmeng Mansion is located away from the city, on a barren mountain less than ten miles away from Tianjiadu.
Here, there are lonely graves.
"Compared to more than a year ago, it seems that many more seats have been added." How good is Wu Yuan's memory?
With a quick glance, he could roughly determine which graves were new in the past year or so.
Which ones are old graves?
After a moment of identification, Wu Yuan came to the target.
Then - dig a grave!
With Wu Yuan's terrifying power, after just ten breaths, the entire earthen grave was dug up, revealing the clothes underneath that had begun to rot.
Tear apart!
A silver spear that was as bright as new was revealed! It was the magic weapon that Wu Yuan had buried here after killing Chen Tanggru.
take out.
"Good baby." Wu Yuan held the three points with one hand, pouring hundreds of thousands of kilograms of force into it, and swung it with all his strength, and the spear pierced the sky like an arrow shooting out!
The tip of the spear tore through the sky.
It was as fast as lightning, but without the slightest whistling sound, as if it was completely integrated into the wind.
There is no obstruction in the air.
"As expected of a magic weapon, it can easily withstand the explosion of hundreds of thousands of kilograms of force, so that it can fight happily." Wu Yuan smiled: "It also has magic weapon-level inner armor for protection."
everything's ready!
"It's time to go to Hengshan Mansion." Wu Yuan quickly restored the tomb in general, stopped stopping, and took inventory of all the items.
It turned into a stream of light, and it was hundreds of meters away in one flash.
Through the hazy night.
Disappeared into the vast land.
…
Hengyun Sect was established in Yunshan Prefecture.
For a hundred years, he has been recruiting disciples and cultivating power in Yunshan Mansion and Hengshan Mansion. It can be said that he has a deep foundation.
All this changed ten years ago.
The troops of the Jin Dynasty were directed to seize the Hengshan Mansion in one battle. They were as powerful as Grandmaster Bu Yu, but they only ordered the Jin Dynasty to stop their troops, not to retreat.
Ten years.
Hengshan Mansion is still in chaos. The Jin Empire's army is stationed. How can the Hengyun Sect be willing to withdraw? They have been preparing for a counterattack.
The two sides have been secretly entangled!
nature.
On the nearly thousand-mile border between Hengshan and Yunshan, both sides stationed heavy troops to guard against any eventuality.
The Sixth Army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was stationed at the border.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers camped close to the mountains and rivers. It was located in a high position, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Today, night falls.
The large tent in the center of the Sixth Legion was guarded by groups of guards, and a large number of sergeants patrolled back and forth.
Inside the big tent.
"General, is the Ninth Prince really coming?" A general in armor said in a low voice, "Isn't he sitting in charge of 'Linjiang City' and is he just a nominal commander?"
"The Ninth Prince is one of the most talented princes among Your Majesty's sons. He has extraordinary strength at a young age." A burly man with a long beard wearing heavy armor sat on the main seat: "His wrists are equally powerful."
"But how can the eldest prince and the third prince be vegetarians?"
"The eldest prince is conquering Yuanzhou in the north, and the third prince is in charge of Nanzhou in the south." The burly man with a long beard said in a low voice: "Although the ninth prince has the support of the Eastern King and is the legitimate son of the queen, he must stand out if he wants to stand out.
Make a great contribution!"
"In our great Jin Dynasty, we put military merit first."
"As we move eastward, the Hengyun Sect is the first hard nut."
"How could the Ninth Prince not want to knock him out?" said the burly man with a long beard: "Although he is only a nominal commander, doesn't His Majesty not know?"
"If you want to be a prince, you must set an example. You don't dare to go to the frontier in person. In the future, why do you want to become the emperor of the Holy Capital and control the tens of thousands of miles of our Jin Dynasty?" The burly man with a long beard said: "But there is no need.
I'm worried that when the Ninth Prince comes, he will only be a laborer and will leave in a few days."
General Pi couldn't help but nod: "I understand, I will make arrangements immediately."
soon.
General Pi left, leaving only a burly man with a long beard in the tent. He studied the map carefully and kept thinking.
suddenly.
"General Wang is really dedicated." A voice sounded faintly.
