In fact, Chen Yan captured a killer alive.
But the moment the killer was captured, he bit open the poison bag in his mouth and committed suicide by taking the poison.
"Are they the killers from Juefeng Tower?"
"Yes, Juefeng Tower is the number one killer organization in the western region of Pingze, and the killers they sent out this time are not top-notch, but their strength is also above average." Wen Yuchu nodded.
Chen Yan turned to look at Chi Yue: "Chi Yue, they are here to kill you, do you know?"
Chi Yue said calmly: "Yeah."
Zhuge Youlin's lips turned pale. "Why do they want to kill you?"
Chi Yue raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuge Youlin lazily, but did not respond.
Zhuge Youlin frowned in dissatisfaction. "Hey, are you isolating me? Why didn't you answer my question?"
Chi Yue said calmly: "They just want to kill me."
Several people: "..." It's the same as if they didn't say anything.
Chen Yan seemed to be thinking about something. She looked at them and said, "You all have injuries. Treat them briefly first, and then we'll set off."
"good."
The person who was least injured was Chi Yue, because most of the killer's attacks were blocked by his spiritual plants.
Chen Yan was also injured because she did not summon her own beast, nor did she let the ghost come out...
Jiang Xianyue took the initiative to assume the role of doctor in the team and treated and bandaged each of their injuries.
After this incident, they set off again.
They traveled on a spirit boat, which was made by Yu Changying. It did not have any fancy carvings or decorations. It just had an ordinary appearance.
However, the spirit boat was traveling extremely fast.
The first mission that Chen Yan and his companions had to carry out was to kill the Earth Demon Dragon. The Earth Demon Dragon was in Sun Moon Lake, and the country close to Sun Moon Lake was the Nanshang Kingdom.
That is the country where Xiao Zechuan is.
If you want to go to Sun Moon Lake, you must pass through Nanshang Kingdom.
It will take about five or six days to reach Nanshang Kingdom.
During this period, they experienced several waves of attacks from killers.
But the strange thing is that each group of killers wanted to kill different people. The first target was Chi Yue, the second target was Yu Changying, the third target was Zhuge Youlin, and the fourth target was Xiao Zechuan.
What is even more shocking is that these killers all come from the same organization: Juefeng Tower.
As they dealt with another group of killers, the eight people looked at each other.
Wen Yuchu smiled: "Do we look like your free thugs?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Chen Yan looked at Chi Yue, Yu Changying, Zhuge Youlin, and Xiao Zechuan and said, "You all should know who paid a large sum of money to kill you, right?"
Yu Changying bit her lip. "Sister, I really don't know. Maybe my beauty, so stunning that it could make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, or the moon hide in shame, has unknowingly aroused others' jealousy, and then they hired someone to kill me?"
"I really don't know about that." Zhuge Youlin sighed softly, then frowned and asked Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, do you think that the assassin from the Heart-Questioning Palace was sent to kill me?"
The Palace of Questioning Heart is the force to which Zhu Hezhou and Zhu Miaoqing belong.
"If it was them, then why didn't they send assassins to kill me?" Chen Yan said slowly. She broke one of Zhu Hezhou's arms. Logically, Zhu Hezhou should hate her the most.
"You have a point." Zhuge Youlin nodded, then shrugged helplessly, "Then I don't know."
The people on the spirit boat looked at Xiao Zechuan.
Xiao Zechuan was seriously injured. He was stabbed in the chest and arm, and blood was flowing everywhere. His face became paler and the wind blew his black hair. His fox eyes were supposed to be charming, but his expression was always gloomy.
His face was handsome, with an aura of abstinence.
"I have no idea."
Xiao Zechuan avoided their sight, then walked to a corner on the spirit boat deck and sat down cross-legged, looking cold, arrogant and lonely.
Chen Yan glanced at him and said, "Treat your wound."
"I'll do it." Jiang Xianyue said to Chen Yan with a smile, then walked up to Xiao Zechuan and skillfully took out the hemostatic medicine and gauze.
Xiao Zechuan looked at Jiang Xianyue in front of him with a gloomy expression, then glanced at Chen Yan, and finally lowered his eyes.
"Thanks."
…
The spirit boat was sailing normally, and the blood that had been splashed on the spirit boat was wiped away.
On the deck, three people were standing, while the others were sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Chen Yan stood in front of the spirit boat, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, then lowered his eyes to look at the scene passing quickly below. Everything seemed very calm.
Pei Wusu stood beside her, looked at her sideways, and asked, "Chen Yan, are you coming to the Western Region College for your brother?"
Chen Yan: “Almost.”
Jiang Xianyue, who was standing on the other side of Shen Yan, comforted her, "Yan Yan, you will definitely find your brother."
Chen Yan smiled slightly.
Immediately, Chen Yan asked, "What about you? What is your purpose in entering the Western Region Academy? Is it for those three secret missions?"
Jiang Xianyue's gaze wandered after hearing this. She pursed her lips, a hint of worry appearing on her face. She hesitated to speak, but ultimately suppressed her true thoughts and forced a smile, saying, "Yes."
Pei Wusu's eyes were deep.
“Not entirely.”
Chen Yan raised her head and looked at Pei Wu Su when she heard that. Pei Wu Su's eyes met hers briefly, then looked away.
Pei Wusu asked, "Do you know the true origins of the Western Region Academy?"
Chen Yan's brows jumped, "What's the origin?"
At this time, several people who were meditating also listened to their conversation.
Wen Yuchu slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in his eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Pei Wusu's voice was clear and sharp. "Guiyuan Continent has five regions, with the Central Region being the leader. The East Region Academy, South Region Academy, West Region Academy, and North Region Academy, these four academies were originally established by the Central Region Academy. Therefore, these four academies are all branches of the Central Region Academy in the major regions."
"Branch?!" Jiang Xianyue looked shocked.
The most prestigious institution of higher learning in the Western Region of Pingze is actually just a branch of the Central Region Academy!
Wen Yuchu, Xiao Zechuan, Yu Changying and Chi Yue had already known this news.
When Zhuge Youlin heard this, he opened his eyes in shock.
"Pei Wusu, are you telling the truth?"
His shout immediately made the people who were meditating open their eyes.
"Really." Pei Wusu pursed his lips. "Actually, the three secret missions are not only for our Western Region Academy, but also for the Eastern Region Academy, the Southern Region Academy, and the Northern Region Academy. Moreover, the contents of these three secret missions are exactly the same."
Chen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, the four major colleges are carrying out three major confidential missions at the same time."
Pei Wusu nodded, "Yes."
Chen Yan looked at Pei Wusu and asked, "So, among the other three academies, are there any teams that have successfully completed the three secret missions?"
At this time Wen Yuchu smiled.
"No. However, I heard that two teams from the Central Domain Academy completed three secret missions, but then disappeared. There are many different theories about their disappearance, and the Central Domain Academy also gave a surprising answer: the reason for the two teams' disappearance is because... they achieved enlightenment and ascended!"
