Shang Zhiming, who was still alive and kicking just now, was now smashed to pieces on the ground, with blood splashing for several feet, leaving everyone stunned and dumbfounded.
Most people thought that Shang Zhiming went crazy and exploded to death, but they also found it strange. Shang Zhiming was a god-level alchemist and could easily cure such problems. How could he reach this point?
Only Gong Yongnian knew that Shang Zhiming was poisoned by Xuelihong, and showed signs of late-stage delirium during the attack, and it took exactly an hour from taking it to the attack...
But how did Shang Zhiming get poisoned?
Gong Yongnian remembered that Shang Zhiming once said that Chen Dong once suspected that peaches were poisonous and randomly handed him a peach and asked him to eat it...
Could it be that time...
Gong Yongnian's body trembled a little, and he looked at Chen Dong strangely. Although he didn't know how Chen Dong did it, he believed that this matter must have something to do with Chen Dong!
At this moment, Chen Dong was also looking at Shang Zhiming's body in shock.
As a super god-level alchemist, when he was going through the basket of peaches, of course he immediately discovered that there was toxin in a certain peach. Although he didn't know what the poison was, he immediately used his internal power to suck out the toxin.
, and then pour it into another peach.
Yes, that peach for Shang Zhiming!
With Shang Zhiming's ability, he could actually find toxins if he looked carefully, but he didn't expect Chen Dong to have such an ability. Secondly, he saw that the peach was unmarked, so he ate it confidently.
So Chen Dong knew that Shang Zhiming had taken poison, but he didn't know that the poison would be so terrifying, and he directly killed him!
Chen Dong was stunned. On the one hand, he secretly cursed Gong Yongnian for his cruelty, and on the other hand, he muttered in his mind: "The vice president of the Alchemist General Union must be at a high level. Even if the body is broken into pieces like this, I don't know if the internal energy can still be absorbed?"
As for the other people, they were all sighing with emotion. After all, there were only a few god-level alchemists in the entire Yanxia Continent. If one died, there would be one missing, so naturally they all sighed.
"President Gong, look at this..." Chen Musheng looked at Gong Yongnian at a loss.
Gong Yongnian had already determined that this matter had something to do with Chen Dong, but firstly there was no evidence, and secondly he was the one who made the move first, so he could only suffer the loss of being dumb. He immediately said in a deep voice: "President Shang went crazy and exploded to death.
, is a huge loss to the country..."
Then, he knelt down and picked up Shang Zhiming's storage ring.
"Commander Chen, I am going to report to the Holy One about President Shang... President Shang died in your place. Please put his body together and then send it to the Alchemist Guild."
"Oh, okay..."
After Gong Yongnian left, Chen Musheng arranged for funeral personnel to come over, first sew up the body, and then put it into a coffin.
Chen Dong helped throughout the whole process, and naturally secretly used Ruyi Pei to absorb Shang Zhiming's internal energy.
It was supposed to be a day of joyful gathering, but in the end, a life was lost. Of course, the three heads of the family were disenchanted and went home.
Since Chen Dong agreed to stay at Chen's house for one night, he naturally would not go to the Holy Palace.
Chen Musheng arranged a room for him and said that this would be his house from now on and he could come back and stay at any time as if it were his own home.
This day was quite magical for Chen Dong. He didn't expect to meet his ancestors in this world. He immediately felt that he had someone to depend on and someone to support him, and he felt a sense of security when he returned to his room.
After closing the door, Chen Dong sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the Ruyi Pendant and began to absorb the transformed spiritual energy.
He didn't know the specific level of Shang Zhiming, but to be the vice president of the Alchemist General Union, he must be higher than himself, and he could be promoted to a small level no matter what.
But what Chen Dong didn't expect was that after absorbing the whole thing, it would actually rise to a higher level.
Now, he has reached the third level of Sainthood with the internal power of "The Wonderful Book of Heaven and Earth"!
"Hahaha, so cool, so wonderful!"
Chen Dong was so happy that he immediately fell asleep with satisfaction. At the same time, he also had expectations in his heart, not knowing what the good news Yanzu said would be.
Tomorrow, everything will be revealed.
…
late at night.
Shangjing, Alchemist General Union.
The sound of "da da da" sounded, and a brown carriage gradually drove towards it. When it arrived at the door of the Federation of Trade Unions, it stopped.
The car curtain opened, and an old man stepped out. It was Gong Yongnian, the president of the trade union.
He just came back from the Holy Palace.
Shang Zhiming is the vice-president, and of course such a big thing as his sudden death needs to be reported to Yanzu in person.
Of course, he didn't say anything about poisoning, only that Shang Zhiming was possessed and his body exploded to death.
After all, Shang Zhiming himself was the one responsible for the poison. If he were to pursue the case, the consequences would be disastrous, and Gong Yongnian might also be implicated.
Yanzu was also quite surprised. He couldn't understand how Shang Zhiming, a god-level alchemist, could go crazy, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, as the king of a country, he had too many things to do.
Returning to the General Union of Alchemists, Gong Yongnian had just stepped into the courtyard when he saw a large coffin as dark as ink.
It was Chen Musheng who sent someone to deliver it.
Beside the coffin, a group of alchemists had gathered, all of them wailing, crying, and making sad sounds.
Gong Yongnian walked over step by step, the night wind ruffling his white hair.
Amid the cries, Gong Yongnian walked to the coffin and pushed the coffin lid open bit by bit.
Shang Zhiming was lying in it, and the originally scattered bodies had now been sewn and spliced together.
Shang Zhiming is Gong Yongnian's old associate. He has been with him for hundreds of years. He has been with him through thick and thin, and has made countless contributions to the Alchemist Guild. The relationship between the two has long gone beyond ordinary superiors and subordinates.
They are truly good brothers and good friends who treat each other with sincerity.
Originally, with their ability and strength, it would be no problem to live another hundred or two hundred years.
But now, the yin and yang are separated.
"ah--"
Gong Yongnian suddenly raised his head and let out a shrill roar.
The entire night sky, and even most of Beijing, echoed with his terrifying and angry voice.
There were some words that he couldn't say conveniently, but he had silently recited them thousands of times in his heart: "Chen Dong, I want you to die, I want you to die!"
There were cries all around, but Gong Yongnian's eyes were extremely determined!
Soon, he turned around and walked towards the door of the Federation of Trade Unions.
People are very surprised. Why did Gong Yongnian leave when he just came back?
But no one dared to ask.
Gong Yongnian quickly came to the door, and the carriage was still there.
The driver was unloading the truck and preparing to drive the horses back for fodder.
At this time, Gong Yongnian jumped up to the car like an arrow.
The driver said in surprise: "President Gong, you..."
Gong Yongnian's face was as dark as water, and he said solemnly: "Go to Feibao Tower!"
Of course, the coachman didn't say anything, reloaded the car and drove away at high speed.
…
There is actually no Feibao Tower in Shangjing.
No matter how courageous Tao Qingyu was, she would not dare to build Feibao Tower in Shangjing openly.
Feibao Tower is just a nickname, but it actually refers to Tao Qingyu's mansion.
Everyone knew what Tao Qingyu did, so naturally the place where he lived was called Feibao Tower.
However, Tao Qingyu has no official position and is not qualified to be called a mansion. It is just a house.
Tao Zhai.
Tao Qingyu handles various matters in Feibao Building, meets with building owners from all over the world, and even personally negotiates some murder business here.
That’s why it’s called Tao Zhai, which is actually Feibao Tower.
To the outside world, Tao Qingyu is just an ordinary businessman.
But anyone who knows a little bit about him knows that he is in the business of killing people.
The carriage soon arrived in front of the "Tao Zhai" door.
Gong Yongnian jumped out of the car and hurried inside.
Of course there was a guard in front of Tao's house, so he instinctively stretched out his hand to stop him: "Who is..."
"Get away!"
Gong Yongnian shouted loudly, shook the guard away, and then pushed the door open and entered.
The guard was shocked and got up from the ground vomiting blood. Just as he was about to call someone, he saw Tao Qingyu running out of the yard.
"President Gong, what kind of wind has brought you here..."
President Gong?!
Several guards were shocked and immediately understood the identity of the old man just now, and closed the door quietly.
…
Tao Zhai, in a certain hall.
Tao Qingyu and Gong Yongnian both sat down.
Tao Qingyu was about to order someone to serve tea to Gong Yongnian, but Gong Yongnian waved his hand to stop him.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Gong Yongnian said: "Chen Dong is in Beijing right now. I hope you kill him."
Tao Qingyu was naturally surprised: "Why did President Gong suddenly talk about this matter?"
"Leave me alone, I'll ask you if you are willing to kill him?" Gong Yongnian stared at Tao Qingyu.
Tao Qingyu was silent for a while and said quietly: "President Gong, when it comes to my hatred for Chen Dong, I only have a lot more hatred than you! Do you know how many Feibaolou that guy has slaughtered me? I can't even count them on one hand."
Oh! I really want to kill him in my dreams, but I don’t have the ability now. He is already the demon-slayer appointed by the Holy Spirit. If I provoke him, I’m not asking for my own death..."
Tao Qingyu shook her head as she spoke.
"It's a joke. Assassination is your strong point in Feibao Tower. Who asked you to kill him openly? Does it have anything to do with you whether he is a demon slayer or not?"
"That's true, but he has a hundred thousand troops outside the city, and the city is heavily fortified, with city guards everywhere... This is Shangjing, under the emperor's feet! Killing people is too risky."
"Leave the matter of the city guards to me." Gong Yongnian said: "What's wrong with Shangjing? Haven't you killed anyone in Shangjing? Why are you pretending to be a white lotus? Tomorrow, he will go to the Holy Palace, from the Commander's Mansion to
On the way to the Holy Palace, I hope you will arrange the most
A strong master, assassinate that guy in an instant, and don't reveal the slightest movement. If you really don't have anyone, just do it yourself! After the completion of the matter, within three years, you can refine any elixir you want.
And we won’t charge you extra processing fees!”
Seeing Gong Yongnian's determination, Tao Qingyu was stunned for a while, and then his face gradually became serious: "President Gong, since you said so, it is my duty... It is not easy for you to come to me once, for your sake.
, and for the sake of Feibao Tower, I am also willing to take a risk."
"Okay, who are you going to send?"
"Jin Hong, is the sixth-level sage... enough? You know, I am only a seventh-level sage, and the strongest one under my command is the sixth-level sage!"
