"No rush, take a look at these two items."
As Chen Ku spoke, he took out from his backpack the head of Yao Wensu, preserved with li and ice, and a relic from Huang Muxia’s body, whom he had burned to death not long ago, a jade pendant representing Huang Muxia’s identity.
"This is..." The middle-aged man imdiately examined the head in front of him. With a touch of his fingers, he understood its identity: "The Fourth Realm Demon from Peace Path?"
His expression slightly changed: "Who is this person?"
"Yao Wensu, Incense Master of the Snake Fish Town branch of Peace Path."
Chen Ku said:
"That jade pendant belongs to Huang Muxia. I rember there’s also a reward for Huang Muxia with you guys."
"What?"
The middle-aged man was shocked, looking incredulously at Er Lang in front of him.
He initially thought that his opponent was relying on poisoning Xie Wenyuan, perhaps just having so hidden powerful ans since poisoning does not represent true strength, but the Incense Master of the Fourth Realm from Peace Path and the city’s eighth expert, Huang Muxia...
They were both among the best of the Fourth Realm Experts!
"Huang Muxia was killed by you?" he swallowed hard.
Huang Muxia’s disappearance had happened just a few days ago, rumored to be missing, but it turned out he was killed by the person in front of him?
"Let’s settle the accounts, I’m in a hurry. By the way, no silver notes, I want gold notes." Chen Ku frowned slightly, suddenly slling his brother-in-law Li Yuancheng’s scent nearby; it seed like soone from the governnt was indeed watching the Grey Clothes Tower.
The middle-aged man heard the urgency in Chen Ku’s voice.
Imdiately, without hesitation, previously he valued Chen Ku because he could complete tricky tasks, but now it was entirely because of his strength.
A Blade-Handler who could easily assassinate Fourth Realm Experts!
Who knows, maybe one day he’d bring the heads of Shangguan Yun and Yang Luochen. With such terrifying power, how could one not respect and dare not be negligent?
Shortly after, the other party ca out holding a money box:
"In total, it’s one hundred and sixty-five thousand taels, we charge a five thousand commission, here’s one hundred and sixty thousand taels converted into gold notes, equivalent to eighty thousand taels of gold. You can redeem it at any Qiu Dragon Ticket Number establishnt, take care of it."
Chen Ku collected the gold notes and said:
"Thanks, I’ll be leaving now, farewell."
The middle-aged man suggested: "The guest might want to leave through the secret door of the Grey Clothes Tower, it’s safer."
He was considering maintaining the reputation of their Grey Clothes Tower. If Chen Ku left from here and really got noticed and captured by soone from the governnt, wouldn’t it tarnish the reputation of the Grey Clothes Tower?
Chen Ku, however, said: "No need."
One must be cautious of the Grey Clothes Tower, such unfamiliar organizations dealing in assassin business should not be trusted too much.
The middle-aged man, seeing this, did not say more; since the other party was confident, so be it.
Chen Ku left the Grey Clothes Tower, slipped into an empty alley, activated the Earth Tunneling ability of the Five-colored Peacock, and returned to his own small courtyard from the black market district.
Not long after Chen Ku left, people from the governnt staring at the bounty list inside the Grey Clothes Tower saw the bounties for ’Xie Wenyuan,’ ’Huang Muxia,’ and the Incense Master ’Yao Wensu’ from Peace Path being taken down and marked with a tick.
Er Lang had appeared!!
Wang Yixian arrived nearby the Grey Clothes Tower imdiately.
"Report to the Chief Constable; there was a person in a conical hat. Shortly after he entered and left, the Grey Clothes Tower took down those three bounties... We suspect he is the Er Lang! Even Huang Muxia was killed by this person!"
"Which way did he go?"
"That way, our n have started a house-to-house search, asking if anyone has seen a similar person."
Just as Wang Yixian quickly conducted the search.
Inside the Hongyan Tower.
Di Jianqing and two others had also heard the news, especially after hearing that Yao Wensu’s head was submitted for the bounty, the silhouette of that young man imdiately surfaced in their minds.
"It’s him! He’s made his appearance!"
anwhile,
The people sent by Qin Yuxian received the news as well and reported it to Qin Yuxian imdiately.
Qin Yuxian also arrived at where Master Uncle Shan Lingguan was imdiately.
Inside a kitchen.
Upon hearing that the ’Triple Spirit Body’ youth had surfaced, Shan Lingguan imdiately stood up, disregarding the snake soup he was cooking, and asked:
"Found him? Where is he? What’s his na? What is his background?"
"Currently, it’s only known that the youth’s code na is ’Er Lang’ within the Grey Clothes Tower and he accepted several tasks targeting Peace Path. Additionally, he poisoned Xie Family’s old shopkeeper Xie Wenyuan, and recently killed Huang Muxia of the Twin Rivers Guild. He even hunted the Nine-Colored Deer at one ti..."
Qin Yuxian said slowly:
"Though he hasn’t been located yet, the governnt is also searching for him, but there’s at least one thing that can be confird; this person is possibly from Baojiao County, or he might have co from the Yuan Country because when he took on the first task from the Grey Clothes Tower, no one from Qiu Dragon Mansion had co to Baojiao County yet."
"Baojiao County?"
Shan Lingguan pondered:
"Is there such a person in Baojiao County?"
"Yes!"
Qin Yuxian suddenly spoke:
"There’s one person who’s quite suspicious and once clearly exhibited a ’Fire-elent Physique’?"
Shan Lingguan shook his head and said: "Are you referring to Fu Huangfei? It’s not him."
"No, it’s not Fu Huangfei."
Hearing Qin Yuxian’s words.
Shan Lingguan asked in surprise: "Other than Fu Huangfei, who else has a Fire-elent Physique?"
"This person is called Chen Ku; I’ve t him and even gave him a Martial Arts Gold Order."
Qin Yuxian said:
"This information was actually gathered by Qin Fang and the others in the past few days. Before we ca to Baojiao County, this Chen Ku, a prodigy from dicine King Hall, once had a showdown at the ’Wharf Fighting’ contest with soone in the Twin Rivers Guild in Baojiao County. One of the contests was to wear heated iron boots, and this son managed to take thirty-six steps in place while wearing the hot iron boots without a scratch... At that ti, so suspected he might have so special bloodline and Physique, but later, as various prodigies ca to Baojiao County, nobody ntioned it much until you recently talked about accepting a disciple. When you encountered soone with a Triple Spirit Body, it prompted Qin Fang and the others to track down this event.
After all, they aren’t locals; without inquiry and investigation, such things wouldn’t be known imdiately.
"What? There’s such a thing..." Shan Lingguan said softly: "Are you saying this Chen Ku is Er Lang?"
"Originally, the suspicion towards him was just a little, as your requirent was for a Triple Spirit Body, but he only exhibited a portion of the ’Fire-elent Physique,’ at most just like Fu Huangfei..."
Qin Yuxian said:
"Until he went and submitted Yao Wensu’s head, along with Huang Muxia’s head, and Xie Wenyuan’s head; inevitably it reminds one that these two people... both had imnse animosity or at least enmity with Chen Ku, or at least with the dicine King Hall, especially Huang Muxia, who even sched against him with others."
Also, considering that this son possesses divine power and seems to have considerable spiritual power, which he used to effortlessly dismiss Fu Huangfei’s pursuit.
He recalled the ti in the backyard of the county governnt office when Shangguan Yun tested Chen Ku with spiritual power.
At that ti, he had a suspicion whether this person was the disciple heir Master Uncle was looking for?
That was why he was willing to gift Chen Ku a breathing technique to harmonize his spirit.
Otherwise, even though he had a habit of ntoring promising talents, it would not warrant such kindness to a stranger t for the first ti.
"Why didn’t you tell earlier?" Shan Lingguan asked.
"Afraid of leading Master Uncle onto the wrong path." Qin Yuxian said: "Wanted to speak after having more certainty, even now... certainty isn’t that high, only fifty-fifty chance it might be Chen Ku."
"Fifty percent certainty isn’t enough?"
Shan Lingguan had already exited the door:
"Don’t bother with the remaining fifty percent; I’ll personally test it to know."
Qin Yuxian, seeing the old man’s vigorous deanor, couldn’t help but remind: "Master Uncle, be cautious not to scare him away again!"
The old man’s body slightly stiffened, but he still continued walking away.
"How could it be?"
