Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

275. Chapter 275 Employer!

Chapter 275: Employer!

Linjiang County.

Yuelaiju Inn.

A man and a woman were sitting in a guest room on the second floor, enjoying a drink.

Suddenly, the man, holding a wine glass, trembled slightly and his face changed. He lowered his voice and reported to the woman across from him.

"Aunt, Su Su made a mistake!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.

"But she's just a useless servant with no cultivation. How could she make a mistake?"

"But Yu Ningxin didn't make a move?"

The man decisively shook his head. "No, after Yu Ningxin separated from the target, she stayed in Ascension Land and never left. It couldn't have been Yu Ningxin!"

"The problem should be with Liu Yun. Although she is only at the Core Formation stage, she is the direct disciple of the Peak Master of Cui Zhu Peak. It's inevitable that she would be given some defensive treasures or weapons!"

"I have reminded Su Su not to underestimate any cultivator, even if they have just entered the path recently, but she..."

"Enough!" The woman interrupted the man's complaints. "The person is already dead, what's the use of saying these things?"

"Tonight, you personally go and bring me the target's head!"

"And don't hurt Liu Yun. I don't want to face the pursuit of that crazy woman, Dai Yingyu!"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately bowed his head and respectfully replied, "Yes, Master, I know what to do!"

The woman nodded slightly, waved her hand at the man, and sent him away.

After the man left, the woman sat alone, pouring herself another drink.

It wasn't until it was dark that the slightly intoxicated woman felt a slight tremor in the Mother and Child Gu inside her body.

"Another one died?!"

The woman's face changed slightly, unable to help but curse under her breath.

"What a waste! A Core Formation ninth stage assassin couldn't even deal with a newly emerged little girl and a useless servant!"

The woman fell silent and slowly stood up. With a thought, she turned into a stream of light and left through the broken window.

At this moment.

Liu Family Village.

Liu Yun was in seclusion, using the heavenly treasures sent by Liu Zimo to improve her cultivation.

Meanwhile, Liu Zimo, in the guest room where he was resting, casually killed an assassin who suddenly appeared in front of him.

A Core Formation ninth stage male cultivator.

Whether it was the "Divine Breath Technique" or cultivation level, he was several times stronger than Yin Susu.

If it weren't for Liu Zimo also obtaining the inheritance of the "Divine Breath Technique" and having a cultivation level far surpassing the opponent...

Of course, it also had to do with the bright blue lock shadow on the opponent's head, shining like a light bulb.

Otherwise, the opponent might have silently approached him.

"Your good brother, Lu Zhuangnian, had a string of bad luck and disasters. You killed him with one blow, annihilating his soul!"

"The 'Heaven-stealing' innate talent passive ability has been triggered. You have inherited half of Lu Zhuangnian's remaining gifts before his death. Divine Breath Technique +50, Mist Concealment Technique +30, Immortal Dao cultivation +100, Divine Soul Origin +50."

"Your good brother, Lu Zhuangnian, has gone offline. Currently, you can bind to another target (142/1000)."

With a hundred years of Immortal Dao cultivation added, Liu Zimo was in a great mood.

Two assassins came to deliver themselves like lambs, pushing his cultivation level to a new level.

He was about to reach the peak of Gold Core stage!

Liu Zimo sat quietly in the east wing room, not allowing anyone to disturb him, silently waiting to see if there would be a third assassin visiting.

The slogan of Louwailou is "As long as the target is alive, the assassinations will continue."

Now that they have consecutively killed two Core Formation stage assassins, they will definitely not stop.

The question is, what cultivation level will the next assassin who comes be?

Swish!

After a moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed before Liu Zimo's eyes.

A golden lock, shining with a five-foot-long light, appeared in the room without any warning, instantly illuminating the somewhat dim room, as bright as daylight.

No figure was seen, and no trace of cultivation aura was sensed.

It can be seen that this assassin who came this time, whether it is concealment ability or cultivation level, surpasses the previous two assassins by several streets!

"Sure enough, they've come again!"

Liu Zimo's eyes brightened.

A five-foot-long radiance is already considered a talented cultivator.

Without thinking too much, Liu Zimo immediately locked onto this lock shadow that was approaching him.

[Binding successful! Your good sister Lu Yingxue is online, currently available for binding (143/1000).]

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, Liu Zimo casually clicked on the exclamation mark above their head.

[Name] Lu Yingxue

[Age] 29,900

[Spirit Roots] Top-grade Gold Spirit Root, Top-grade Fire Spirit Root

[Cultivation Level] Gold Core Third Stage

[Cultivation Techniques] Golden Turtle Technique, Divine Breath Technique, Mist Concealment Technique, Sword Control Technique...

Sure enough, it's another Louwailou assassin, and it's even a high-level Gold Core stage assassin!

However, seeing that the age value of the other party has reached nearly 30,000 years, Liu Zimo knew that he had encountered an Ascendant again.

"Gold Core Third Stage!"

Seeing this big light bulb that was already within two meters of him, Liu Zimo sighed. He didn't expect that a Gold Core stage assassin would arrive so quickly.

He now seriously doubted whether, after killing this Gold Core Third Stage assassin in front of him, another Nascent Soul stage expert would directly appear to assassinate him.

"Since you're here, don't hide anymore, show yourself!"

Liu Zimo waved his hand towards the illusion in front of him, and his spiritual consciousness, which had been cultivated for over a thousand years, instantly burst forth, directly imprisoning Lu Yingxue, who was in a stealth state, on the spot.

[Divine Breath Technique] ineffective, [Mist Concealment Technique] broken.

Lu Yingxue's entire figure and aura were completely exposed in front of Liu Zimo.

"Oh, unexpectedly, it's a beautiful female assassin!"

After seeing Lu Yingxue's fair and lovely face, Liu Zimo couldn't help but smack his lips, softly praising.

Meanwhile, Lu Yingxue looked up at Liu Zimo with surprise and fear.

It seemed that she never expected that a mediocre and ordinary servant like Liu Zimo would suddenly become as powerful as a Nascent Soul stage expert.

This girl is really good at pretending!

Who told her that this Liu Zimo is just a penniless servant, and without the Book Pavilion's Book Pavilion Gold Order, he is just a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered?

Damn it, isn't this deceiving people?

"What a loss!"

"If I had known that this Liu Zimo is actually as powerful as a Nascent Soul stage expert, the cost of assassinating him would have to increase at least a thousand times!"

Liu Xue's heart was filled with frustration and regret. Now, she finally understood why her two subordinates had easily fallen into the hands of the other party. She also realized that even she herself was in grave danger. She couldn't possibly win, not even a little bit of resistance!

"Tell me, who hired you to assassinate me?" Liu Zimo, sitting leisurely with his legs crossed on a square chair, calmly asked Liu Xue.

"Now that you know I'm an assassin, you should know the rules of our profession," Liu Xue took a deep breath and responded expressionlessly, "If you want to kill me, go ahead, but don't expect to get any information about the employer from me!"

Indeed, these assassins were all stubborn. Moreover, their minds had been sealed beforehand, making it impossible to extract information from them. Otherwise, there would be no need for Liu Zimo to waste time talking to them.

"Yin Susu, Lu Zhuangnian, Lu Yingxue!"

"These should be the names of the three of you, right?"

"Oh, if I remember correctly, Lu Yingxue, you should still be an Ascensionist, right?"

"Tsk tsk, after more than 29,000 years, you finally ascended from the Lower Realm to the Transcendent Realm, only to lose your life here because of someone's betrayal. Are you content with that?"

As Liu Zimo accurately recited their names and even exposed Lu Yingxue's identity as an Ascensionist and her specific age, the expression on Lu Yingxue's face changed noticeably.

This information, even in their Louwailou organization, was known to few, and even her supposed nephew, Lu Zhuangnian, was not very clear about it.

So where did Liu Zimo get this information?

"How do you know our names? Who betrayed us?!" Lu Yingxue asked Liu Zimo sharply, her anger almost bursting out.

Hook, line, and sinker!

Liu Zimo chuckled and said lightly to Lu Yingxue, "If you want to know, exchange it for information about the employer."

"I think you don't want to be kept in the dark, right?"

"Think about it, you risked your life to carry out the mission, but someone behind you sold all your information. Is it worth it to sacrifice yourself for such an organization?"

Lu Yingxue's expression changed uncertainly as she looked at Liu Zimo with suspicion.

She couldn't quite figure out Liu Zimo's true intentions.

If he only wanted information about the employer, was it necessary to go through such a big circle?

If he could easily obtain the identities of the three of them, wouldn't he be able to find information about the employer as well?

"Are you trying to sow discord? To cause internal strife within Louwailou?"

"If that's the case, does it mean that I still have a chance to leave here alive?"

As Lu Yingxue's thoughts raced, she believed she had already seen through Liu Zimo's true intentions.

"Also, the fact that I have cultivation is not a big secret. Your Louwailou headquarters should have some information about me!" Liu Zimo continued to coax, seeing Lu Yingxue's expression loosen.

"But from beginning to end, no one has ever reminded you. It's obvious that they want to use me to keep you trapped here!"

"Lu Yingxue, you're a smart person. I think you should know what to do next for your own benefit!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yingxue suddenly looked up at Liu Zimo and asked, "Is it that bastard, Gong Sunyongji?!"

Indeed, wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts.

Even an assassin organization like Louwailou is not invincible.

With just a little guidance, Liu Zimo brought out a Gongsun Yongji.

It seems that this Gongsun Yongji is probably the biggest rival of Lu Yingxue in Louwailou.

"Lu Yingxue, it seems you haven't figured out your current situation yet!"

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly and said,

"You are now my prisoner, your life and death are completely in my hands. Tell me, what qualifications do you have to ask me questions?"

Lu Yingxue fell silent instantly.

Man is the knife, I am the fish. She indeed has no qualifications to negotiate with Liu Zimo.

"Since you know my background, you naturally know that the Lu family behind me is not to be trifled with."

"You have already killed a member of the Lu clan. If I also die by your hands, the Lu family will never let you go!"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yingxue raised her head again and looked at Liu Zimo, saying in a calm voice,

"I can tell you who issued the assassination mission against you in Louwailou, but I want you to promise me that after I reveal the identity of the employer, you will also spare my life!"

Smack!

Liu Zimo slapped Lu Yingxue across the face.

This woman still hasn't realized her current situation.

She's already a prisoner, yet she dares to argue and negotiate here. Does she really think that I, Liu Zimo, have no temper?

"Now, I'll give you another chance to organize your words. I hope you think carefully before speaking!"

Liu Zimo looked expressionless at Lu Yingxue, who was sitting on the ground, and spoke in a calm voice.

Lu Yingxue covered her swollen right cheek with her hand, a hint of cold killing intent flashed in her eyes, but quickly disappeared.

"It's Tian Yizhi!"

In the end, Lu Yingxue chose to compromise and revealed a name that was unfamiliar to Liu Zimo.

"Tian Yizhi is a true elder of the Qingyun Main Peak and also Yue Zhixin's master."

Lu Yingxue continued, revealing all the information she knew:

"Tian Yizhi believes that the mysterious assassin who secretly killed Yue Zhixin must have a direct connection to you. But due to the lack of solid evidence and the existence of the guardian, he cannot directly take action against you within the Qingyun Sect."

"So, he took advantage of your visit to Louwailou this time and offered a reward of one hundred high-grade spirit stones to assassinate you."

"Of course, assassination is only part of it. The most important thing is that he wants us to extract your soul. He wants to find out who the mysterious assassin is through this!"

"That's all I know!"

After saying these words, Lu Yingxue looked at Liu Zimo with hope in her eyes.

Next, whether she lives or dies is entirely up to Liu Zimo's decision.

"So it's Yue Zhixin's master, no wonder!"

Liu Zimo nodded in understanding. He didn't expect that the person who commissioned the assassination from Louwailou was not Ji Changming or Tang Ziyin, whom he had imagined, but Tian Yizhi, whom he had never met.

It seems that the Core Formation cultivator who was hiding in the dark before had reported him.

However, the other party only had suspicions and no direct evidence.

Moreover, within the Qingyun Sect, he had the protection of the guardian. Even the true elder Tian Yizhi wouldn't dare to take action against him without sufficient evidence.

After all, the last person who wanted to extract his soul, Ji Changming, almost had his entire arm burned.

Tian Yizhi probably didn't want to invite trouble, so he thought of using the assassins from Louwailou to complete this task!
