Chapter 126 Assassin
Yanluo City.
Inside the city lord's palace.
Wei Rongming prepared sumptuous food and wine, and then greeted Li Jiuqing and others. Even the outer disciples who followed Li Jiuqing were all arranged in a perfect way, making it impossible for anyone to find fault at all.
"You immortal masters have come a long way and have worked hard all the way."
"I, Wei Rongming, would like to toast all the immortal masters!"
After saying that, Wei Rongming drank it all in one gulp, and then everyone sat down and had a brief chat.
Li Jiuqing was not interested in the banquet. Zhou Haoyun often talked with Wei Rongming, and then Li Jiuqing learned about the situation of Jinyefang from Wei Rongming.
Although Yanluo City is only a small Daxuan city, the scale of the city is quite impressive for ordinary people.
Jinyefang is a very important economy in the entire Yanluo City. The items needed by monks and some black markets exist in Jinyefang, because Qingyang Immortal Sect rarely interferes here.
Therefore, as time went by, the forces within Jinyefang began to grow wildly and became complicated.
Among them, according to Wei Rongming, the four major forces in the workshop are the Broken Bone Gang, the He Family Chamber of Commerce, the Black Tooth Gang, and the Caojiashan Yun. There are more than 20 other large and small forces, but above these four major forces there are There is one person, the old man in Jinyefang who can really decide on major issues.
People give him the nickname Wei Ye.
These people control almost 60% of the resource shops in Jinyefang. On the surface, the four companies still operate in accordance with the laws of the Daxuan Dynasty and the rules of the Qingyang Immortal Sect, but in fact, it is unknown what is going on. .
"Then according to Master Wei's wishes, if we want to completely take over Jinyefang, we still need the approval of these four forces and that Lord Wei?"
Zhou Haoyun looked at Wei Rongming and asked.
Wei Rongming was very shrewd. When faced with such a question that might offend people, he just pretended to be drunk, and then said some things that were relevant but not the key points.
During the banquet, Li Jiuqing sneered at the four major forces mentioned by Wei Rongming. After seeing this, he sneered and didn't ask any more questions.
After the banquet.
Originally, Wei Rongming wanted to keep Li Jiuqing and others in the city guard's mansion for one night, but Li Jiuqing and others did not stay.
Instead, he was going directly to Jinyefang.
In this regard, Wei Rongming also actively cooperated, but due to drinking too much, he felt a little unwell. In the end, Wei Rongming's follower Gong Zhi took Li Jiuqing and others there.
Jinyefang is located in the southwest of Yanluo City.
There are more than 3,000 shops in the entire city, and some dignitaries have settled there.
On the way, Gong Zhi behaved very cautiously and responded appropriately to everyone's questions.
After half an hour's journey.
Li Jiuqing and his party finally arrived at Jinyefang.
Standing at the entrance, the place is brightly lit, and the streets are lined with stalls and shops of all kinds, ranging from rare treasures to daily necessities, attracting customers from all directions.
Because it is close to the border between the two countries, the architectural styles here are also relatively diverse, including antique pavilions and exotic buildings.
Li Jiuqing and others were walking on the stone road. People were coming and going on the street. Some were in a hurry, some were shopping leisurely, and some businessmen in exotic costumes were haggling.
"Dear immortal masters, this is Jinyefang."
Gong Zhi bowed forward and led the way for Li Jiuqing and others.
As soon as everyone entered Jinyefang, they were stared at by all kinds of people, some with evil intentions, and some calling Li Jiuqing and others to come and take a look.
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
The crowd was crowded, and the crowd even intentionally surged this way. Zhao Lie shouted immediately when he saw this, and pushed the crowd away. The other Qi training disciples also stepped forward, surrounding Li Jiuqing in his heart, to resist this sudden appearance. Flow of people.
"hehe..."
Li Jiuqing, who had strong senses, sneered when he saw this, and then whispered.
"act recklessly."
As Li Jiuqing finished speaking, two qi energy sandwiched these darts and instantly extinguished the surrounding lanterns. Then four murderous intentions suddenly erupted from the crowd, and then two assassins wearing black clothes with only their eyes exposed came directly from The crowd erupted.
The two quickly and accurately launched attacks on Li Jiuqing and others.
These two assassins obviously came with bad intentions. Each held a short sword, the tip of the sword flashed with cold light. Their movements were extremely agile, and they were obviously masters with profound cultivation.
Seeing this, Zhao Lie stepped forward and a terrifying spiritual energy barrier erupted between his hands, blocking the four people's attacks.
"So brave!!"
Zhao Lie roared angrily.
He immediately used his fire technique, and blazing flames snaked towards the assassin like fire snakes.
The flames drew bright trails in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding environment and revealing the assassin's figure.
The two black-clothed assassins did not panic when they saw this, and immediately fled into the crowd after their attack failed.
The crowd became chaotic and scattered in all directions.
Zhao Lie frowned when he saw this. The incident happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to use his spiritual sense to lock it in. He looked at the chaotic crowd. In this case, tracking the four assassins would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Senior Brother Li?!"
Chen Xi and others chased after the assassin as soon as he entered the crowd, but the four people were obviously prepared. After blending into the crowd, their aura, clothing, and murderous intent completely disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
"No need to chase."
Li Jiuqing said calmly, with a majesty in his voice that was irresistible.
Zhao Lie and others heard this, although they were puzzled, they still stopped and waited for Li Jiuqing's next instruction.
At this time, Li Jiuqing looked around, and a dark pattern appeared in his pupils.
Soon, the chaotic scene around disappeared instantly, leaving only a group of soul fluctuations.
After a while, Li Jiuqing's eyes fell on an old woman at the back. The old woman was terrified, and there was a child who seemed to be frightened beside her. They looked no different from ordinary people.
It's just a pity that an ordinary old woman can have the cultivation of the tenth level of Qi Refining, and the child, the eleventh level of Qi Refining!
"It's impolite not to return the favor."
Li Jiuqing's voice echoed in the night sky, and along with his voice, an invisible flame airflow began to shuttle through the crowd.
Soon, the flame spirit gathered directly into a fire snake, which seemed to have a spirit and bit the old woman and the child behind her respectively.
"Ah..."
"Help, help!"
The old woman wanted to pretend to be pitiful and beg for help. Zhao Lie, who was standing beside her, was moved. Just when he was about to say something to Li Jiuqing, the old woman was directly ejected from the spot. Two balls of spiritual light burst out in her hands, and then several talismans were shot at the fire snake.
"Bang~~"
The spiritual energy was surging, raising a large amount of dust.
"Puff~"
"Ah!!"
Just when Zhao Lie and others thought that the assassin was going to escape again, they saw a silver chain appear at some point and directly pierced the bodies of the old woman and the child.
As the wound appeared, the two twisted their bodies for a while, and then restored their original appearance.
