When Chen Xi saw the reactions of the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng, he completely confirmed his speculation.
In fact, before entering Fire Crow Town, Chen Xi felt something was wrong. He did not escape in the air, but kept approaching Fire Crow Town with an extremely concealed movement.
Naturally, this was done to guard against assassins from Hei Ri Tower.
Moreover, he is confident that with his powerful power of spiritual consciousness and the hindering effect of "whirlpool ripples" on spiritual consciousness, it will be difficult for even Nirvana monks to discover him.
However, in this situation, Qiao Sheng, who was only at the Huangting level, found himself. He seemed to have expected that he would come, waiting there to be troublesome, and saw that he was trekking from the land instead of
When flying in the air, I didn't feel any surprise.
This was just one of the doubts. Chen Xi had just arrived at that time and was not sure whether his doubts were unnecessary.
However, when he entered Fire Crow Town, especially the Fire Crow Tavern, and saw Chi Luolan and Wu Fuzi, he immediately understood that he was afraid that his arrival would have been known to Hei Rilou and a trap had been set up in advance.
.
It is indeed normal for Chi Luolan and Wu Fuzi to appear in the tavern, but Chen Xi's consciousness has been shrouding the surroundings. He soon discovered that when he stepped into the tavern, the straw Zhang and Rentou Li put down what they were doing and headed toward the tavern.
They were approaching, and they did not enter the tavern, but hid in the dark.
This makes people wonder, what is the reason why these two famous villains in Fire Crow Town would rather stay in a cold and dark corner than step into a lively and warm tavern?
What made Chen Xi feel most abnormal was that in addition to Ning Yin, as well as Chi Luolan and Wu Fuzi in the tavern, four of the five evil villains were all present!
A small tavern, in such an ordinary night, can bring together four villains with completely different personalities. This is very abnormal in itself, isn't it?
Chen Xi would not be so pretentious as to think that these four evil men were here to cleanse him of his troubles.
Then there is only one reason. Before he came to Fire Crow Town, someone had already arranged everything. After he arrived, he gathered the top power of Fire Crow Town to kill him!
There is no need to guess at the person who arranged all this. Except for Hei Rilou, no one has such great ability and can drive these evildoers to work for them.
However, it was obvious that in the eyes of Hei Rilou, he probably thought that these evil men had little hope of killing him, so he asked the tavern owner to prepare a fake map.
The assassins of Hei Ri Tower planned very carefully and had a good understanding of people's hearts. They took advantage of their desire to quickly enter the dark forest to avoid being robbed and killed, so they created such a fake map. The purpose was simply to make people
Taking the fake map, he entered a trap that they had already laid.
Of course, all these were speculations in Chen Xi's mind, but the panicked and depressed reactions of the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng in front of him made him instantly sure that all his deductions were true!
"I heard that both of you are members of the Chu Soul Guard of the Great Chu Dynasty. The materials collected by the evil people here from the dark forest will be handed over to the Great Chu Dynasty through you two. I guess you will often seize some property privately.
Lining your own pockets."
Chen Xi looked at the frightened tavern owner and Qiao Sheng, who had pale faces, and said calmly: "Logically speaking, this is a lot of money. As a member of the Chu Soul Guard, Hei Rilou will not make it difficult for you to do something you don't want to do.
Then why do you still obey their instructions and want to kill me?"
The tavern owner smiled miserably: "Money is so touching, and the guests should also know that as long as there are enough benefits, anything can happen in this world."
Chen Xi nodded, deeply convinced that the Hei Ri Tower's robbery and murder operation against him was just because those old monsters were thinking about the treasures on his body?
Clang!
The sword in Chen Xi's hand let out a low groan, revealing his murderous intent. Although the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng were members of the Chu Soul Guard of the Great Chu Dynasty, since they dared to plot against him, they had no choice but to die for their own lives.
The faces of the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng suddenly became extremely frightened, and the souls of the deceased were in full swing. They never expected that they had told the truth, and this evil star was not going to let them go.
"If you don't kill them, I can take you to the Dark Forest." At this moment, an indifferent and calm voice came from the door of the tavern, without any emotion.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful young man walked in. He was tall and tall, with a resolute and indifferent look. His outline was like a knife or an axe, with sharp edges and corners. He carried a large bow that was dark and glowing with a dark cold light on his back. He exuded a sense of aura.
A masculine and fierce aura.
"Qi Yin?" Chen Xi said in surprise. Looking at the image of this person, he did look very much like one of the five evil men, Qi Yin who often stayed in the dark forest and fought against monsters.
The young man nodded indifferently and said: "You may have guessed that Hei Rilou has ambush a killing trap in the dark forest, waiting for you to break into it. They entered it with the map I drew, and they ambush
I know everything about the location, personnel, and combat strength."
Chen Xi was silent for a moment and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
Qi Yin turned around and pointed outside the tavern. In the dark night, there were many people standing quietly. They were the evil people who had just escaped from the tavern.
"I didn't kill them, so you want to repay me?" Chen Xi said thoughtfully.
Qi Yin said indifferently: "If they die, there will be no one to collect materials with me. If I can't hand over enough materials, I won't live long."
Chen Xi said: "Afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the Chu Dynasty?"
Qi Yin didn't speak this time, just nodded.
"Okay, I can spare their lives, but you have to answer a few questions first." Chen Xi pointed at the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng, and said calmly: "Whether your answers are true or not will directly affect their lives.
die."
Qi Yin replied without hesitation: "Okay."
Chen Xi asked directly: "How many are there?" They were naturally referring to the Black Sun Tower assassins.
Qi Yin said: "One hundred and sixty-three people and three commander-level golden elixir assassins were divided into three batches of operations. The one who was ambushing in the Netherfrost Forest was the first batch at this moment, a total of fifty-three people, led by a commander-level assassin.
The Golden Core Assassin leads the team."
Chen Xi continued to ask: "Commander-level assassin? Do you know who it is?"
Qi Yin's answer was not muddled, he was straightforward: "Commander Qiangwei, who is ranked 76th on the Black Sun Golden Pill List."
Chen Xi was startled and nodded.
After learning that Black Sun Tower would carry out a robbery and murder on him, he also learned a lot of information about Black Sun Tower. The assassins serving in Black Sun Tower have a strict hierarchy. They can be roughly divided into commander-level assassins.
There are two types of assassins.
According to different cultivation levels, they are divided into different levels of assassins such as golden elixir, nirvana, underworld, and earth immortal. Each level has leaders and ordinary assassins.
In view of the strength of the commander-level assassins, the Black Sun Tower has also formulated several extremely complete lists, including the Black Sun Golden Pill List, the Black Sun Nirvana List, the Black Sun Underworld List, etc.
And only the assassins who can rank among the top 100 on the list are the top beings in the same realm. In terms of strength alone, they are even more powerful than some of the top golden elixir experts in the Great Chu Dynasty.
Chen Xi once heard about an incident that caused a sensation in the entire Chu Dynasty’s cultivation world.
A golden elixir cultivator who was said to be strong enough to be among the top 100 in the Star Conference ended up tragically dying in one move at the hands of a golden elixir assassin in the Black Sun Tower, and that assassin did not even enter the black sun golden elixir list.
!
In other words, the Hei Ri Tower assassin was just an ordinary Hei Ri Tower, not even a leader.
From this, we can know the terrifying thing about the leader-level golden elixir monks of Black Sun Tower. To the outside world, their strength will definitely rank among the top 100 in the Star Conference.
Of course, perhaps most of them are no longer old enough to participate in the Star Conference. After all, only Golden Core monks under the age of thirty can participate in the Star Conference.
However, none of this could help Chen Xi. He only knew that the assassin who killed him would not have as many conditions for him as he would if he participated in the Conference of Stars.
"Fifty-three ordinary assassins, one commander-level assassin ranked 68th on the Black Sun Golden Elixir List, this is just one of three assassination teams... Those old monsters are really serious.
Otherwise, Hei Ri Tower would not have dispatched so many people at once."
Chen Xi quickly collected his thoughts. After realizing the general power sent by the Black Sun Tower, his heart was not heavy, but a burning fighting spirit rose in his heart. If he could get out of this Black Sun robbery this time, his strength would be
It should be a big improvement, right?
"How are their ambushes distributed?" Chen Xi asked again.
Qi Yin replied indifferently: "Everyone gathered in a natural chasm in the dark forest and laid many traps, waiting for you to break into it."
"Not spread out?"
"They have studied all your battles, especially the one between you and Sikong Hen, the eldest son of the Sikong family in Maple Leaf City, where you killed eighteen golden elixir monks alone. They have already studied it thoroughly, and they know that spreading the power will give you
Create opportunities to take advantage of.”
Speaking of this, Qi Yin's eyes flashed with strange light, and he glanced at Chen Xi. He seemed to be quite surprised by the terrifying strength Chen Xi showed in this battle. He soon recovered as before and continued.
Qi Yin's words undoubtedly indicate one thing. In order to rob and kill him, Hei Rilou also collected detailed information about himself, and then arranged this robbery and murder operation based on everything about him.
Maybe you should change your behavior?
Chen Xi thought for a moment and suddenly realized a problem. He stared into Qi Yin's eyes and said, "The Dark Forest is so big. Are they so sure that I will definitely break into their ambush?"
Qi Yin still looked indifferent and replied: "I said that they are ambushing in a natural moat. If they want to pass through the dark forest, they must pass there."
Chen Xi thought for a while, nodded and said: "I am very satisfied with your answer. Tomorrow morning, you take me into the dark forest, and the things here will be wiped out."
Qi Yin seemed slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that Chen Xi was anxious to leave just now, but now he decided to go on the road tomorrow. However, he soon recovered as before, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and nodded in agreement.
"When I first came to Fire Crow Town, I heard that you were taciturn and rarely spoke. It seems that the rumors were untrue." Chen Xi gave Qi Yin a deep look and turned to leave the tavern. He wanted to find a safe place to rest.
What does this sentence mean? Qi Yin frowned, watching Chen Xi's back disappear into the night, and remained silent for a long time.
