But now, Lu Chen isn't worried at all.
It won't be so easy for these people to kill me; they might just be my prey.
"I never imagined that the Chaos Divine Body could have such a wonderful use. I was so surprised that I didn't know before. It can directly devour the enemy's dantian and plunder all of their cultivation."
Take, for example, that black-clad man at the ninth level of the Star Realm. Lu Chen drained all his cultivation. Although Lu Chen's own strength improvement was very limited, the speed at which he absorbed it was truly terrifying.
"The energy within these people is not even in the same league as the power of chaos, and the amount that can be converted and absorbed is far too little."
Having absorbed a dantian at the ninth level of the Star Realm, Lu Chen's strength only increased slightly, demonstrating the significant gap between them.
"Please be careful, young master. I'll take my leave now!"
After giving a reminder, Aunt Xu left without even saying "Welcome back next time." Clearly, she was afraid that Lu Chen would implicate them.
"The assassins from the Black Clothes Tower could reappear at any time. They probably already know that this operation has failed. These men in black must have left behind soul jade slips. Once they are all dead, the headquarters of the Black Clothes Tower will know."
"Therefore, if they send someone to assassinate me next time, their cultivation level will definitely be even stronger than these."
"I must improve my strength as soon as possible! It's best to be cautious at this time."
After careful consideration, Lu Chen no longer hesitated and used all the rewards he had previously obtained, including the accumulated star stones. As a result, Lu Chen's strength soared, and he broke through to the ninth level of the galaxy level.
It's impossible to go any higher.
According to Lu Chen's speculation, the system would not directly reward such a significant leap in cultivation level.
Therefore, to break through, we need to continue accumulating energy and achieve a qualitative change before we can possibly enter the star domain level.
Now, Lu Chen has reached the peak of his strength.
"Haha! Let these Black-Clad Tower assassins come; they're just providing me with nourishment."
Lu Chen sheathed the Overlord Spear and swaggered towards the capital city.
Throughout the journey, Lu Chen pondered who might want to kill him, and after much thought, he could only think of two targets.
The first one is Master Miaoyuan. He had a great battle with her before and humiliated her severely. Master Miaoyuan was so angry that she hired someone to kill him. This is quite possible.
Another possibility is Qin Yu, the deputy head of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Knowing that he possesses another priceless Cangyun Token, he might very well kill someone to steal it.
However, Baibaoge's actions will obviously damage their reputation. Who would dare to do business with Baibaoge then?
Therefore, they hired assassins from the Black Clothes Tower to kill them.
Lu Chen returned to the capital city and, after a moment's thought, decided to temporarily return to his rented residence.
Nowhere is absolutely safe now.
Even in the capital city, we must not let our guard down.
These assassins from the Black-Clad Tower are ubiquitous, hiding among the crowd. Moreover, these people are fearless and do not care about the rules of not taking action against the sovereign of the capital. They may very well die together with you.
"Operation failed."
"The target's strength is likely greater than anticipated."
"Activate the second plan! This person must be killed."
"Prepare for action."
"yes."
In a mysterious location, the Black-Clad Tower's higher-ups issued a new order.
That night, the capital was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The night was dark and the wind was high.
It was the night of the murder.
Lu Chen swaggered into the capital city, so his whereabouts were quickly discovered, and his residence was also targeted.
Tonight at midnight.
One after another, figures broke through the air and looked at the lonely house in the distance.
These people were all hidden in the darkness, and they could not be distinguished at all if you did not look carefully. Their aura was suppressed to the extreme, as if they did not exist at all, completely shrouded in the night.
"Are you sure someone's inside?"
"It's confirmed. This person hasn't come out since he went in."
"Let's do it."
At the command of the leader in black, the other six immediately dispersed, forming two groups to flank from the left and right, while another group circled around to the back of the house to prevent Lu Chen from escaping suddenly.
The leader of the men in black blocked their way.
Lu Chen noticed them the moment they moved.
"As expected of the Black-Clad Tower assassins, they've hidden themselves quite well. However, compared to my Chaos Scripture, they're far inferior."
After cultivating the Chaos True Scripture, Lu Chen could clearly sense energy fluctuations approaching from the surroundings. Although these people suppressed their energy to a very low level, making their aura almost nonexistent, they still could not escape Lu Chen's detection.
This is an instinctive reaction.
"All of them are at the ninth level of the Star Realm? This time, they've really gone all out."
Lu Chen smiled slightly, and a long spear appeared in his hand.
Although fighting is forbidden in the capital and anyone who strikes first will be punished, I can still act in self-defense.
As long as the other party doesn't make a move, Lu Chen won't make a move either.
The six men, who were surrounded on three sides, had agreed on a secret signal and would launch an attack as soon as their leader gave the order.
The leader of the men in black nodded silently.
Suddenly, six beams of light appeared, as if illuminating the night sky.
