"The aura is strange and contains murderous intent. Which force wants to deal with us?"
Lu Qing sensed the hidden auras that were heading straight towards their courtyard and muttered silently in his heart.
Then he sent a message to the master outside: "Master, there are a few people coming outside, and they seem to be up to no good."
As soon as he finished transmitting the message to his master, Lu Qing felt his shoulders sink. He turned around and saw Xiao Li looking ahead with a vigilant look on his face.
"Xiao Li, did you feel it too?"
"Well, Xiao Li sensed that four very strong people are coming this way."
Xiao Li’s childish voice sounded in Lu Qing’s mind.
"It's okay. You stay here to protect Xiaoyan. I'll go out and take a look."
Lu Qing soothed Xiao Li's slightly ruffled fur and spoke softly.
When Lu Qing left the room, he saw his master and Lin Zhirui standing in the courtyard with serious faces.
"Mr. Lu, Elder Chen just said..."
Lin Zhirui was about to ask, but when he saw Lu Qing's eyes, he immediately changed the subject: "You have some problems with your cultivation, right?"
“Yes, when I was fighting with that bald donkey from Xuankong Mountain today, I was hit by the recoil of his Vajra Dharmakaya and suffered some damage to my internal organs.
But it's not a big problem. I've already taken the elixir. I just need to regulate my breathing overnight, and by tomorrow, I should be fine."
Lu Qing coughed twice, his face was pale, and he answered with a weak breath.
"Then Mr. Lu, you have to get better soon. Fortunately, you concealed it well during the day and the people in Xuankong Mountain didn't notice anything." Lin Zhirui said thankfully.
As soon as these words fell, suddenly, four black figures, holding daggers, suddenly shot out from the darkness. Two of them rushed straight towards Lu Qing, and the remaining two figures went towards the old doctor.
The four figures moved so fast that even though Lin Zhirui had received hints from the old doctor in advance, he was still shocked.
Because judging from the aura emitted by the attackers, each of these four figures was much stronger than him, and at least had a cultivation level above the minor success level of the innate realm.
More importantly, before these four figures took action, he was not aware of their existence at all.
Even the sect's rare treasures in his possession did not give any warning.
This has never happened since he started refining rare treasures.
"careful!"
Lin Zhirui couldn't help but exclaimed.
Then the next moment, he witnessed an even more shocking scene.
Facing the attack from two black figures, Lu Qing first showed a look of panic, but when the two figures really came in front of him, his face suddenly became serious.
A long knife appeared in his hand at some point.
The knife flashed, and the terrifying murderous intent rushed towards the two figures like a storm.
"not good!"
Lu Qing's spiritual power was so strong that the murderous intent it brought out was extremely terrifying.
Even though the two black figures had been through hundreds of battles and had strong minds, they still couldn't help but pause when faced with such a terrifying murderous attack.
And in this moment of stagnation, Lu Qing's thunder-like sword light had already reached above their heads.
Fortunately, the two figures were indeed powerful. Although their minds were affected, their martial arts instincts had been honed through thousands of years and they no longer needed to control their minds, allowing them to raise their daggers at the last moment to block the knife light.
Boom! Boom!
The daggers in the hands of the two black figures were obviously not ordinary objects, but divine weapons.
After being chopped off by Lu Qing, it was not cut off immediately.
However, although they blocked the blade, in such a hurry, the two figures were unable to completely withstand Lu Qing's terrifying power.
Just a collision, like two balls, Lu Qing chopped them away, flying backwards at a faster speed, breaking through the wall of the courtyard and raising countless smoke and dust.
"Want to leave?"
Lu Qing's spiritual perception was so sharp now that he immediately discovered that his two slashes did not cause too much damage to the two figures.
Instead, the other party was trying to take this opportunity to retreat and leave.
His eyes fixed, and without any movement of his feet, he disappeared from the spot and plunged directly into the smoke.
The next moment, the knife light shone again, and even the smoke and dust could not cover it.
After two screams, there was no further sound.
When the smoke and dust settled, Lin Zhirui saw that outside the broken wall, the two black figures had fallen to the ground, their heads and bodies separated, deader than dead.
Looking at the yard again, in front of the old doctor, there were two figures lying on their backs at his feet.
There is a sword mark between everyone's eyebrows.
It was obvious that he died because the old doctor's sword energy pierced through the acupoint between his eyebrows.
"Brother Lu Qing, what happened?"
At this time, Ma Gu and others also rushed out of the room. They were shocked to see the situation in the yard and the corpse at the feet of the old doctor.
"It's okay. A few bastards tried to sneak in and assassinate me, but they were dealt with by my master and me."
Lu Qing explained and then felt some of the remaining sword energy from the two figures.
He couldn't help but admire: "Master, after you comprehended the Holy Pond, your swordsmanship has become even more powerful."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirui also nodded in agreement.
Just now he was only focused on watching Lu Qing's fight with the two black figures, and didn't notice how the old doctor dealt with the enemy.
He recalled the terrifying sword energy field displayed by the old doctor on the Holy Mountain during the day, and knew that the old senior's attainments in swordsmanship had probably reached an unfathomable level.
"The Holy Pool is indeed mysterious. It can greatly increase one's understanding. When you, Ah Qing, break through to the Innate Realm in the future, you can also try to comprehend it." The old doctor said with a smile.
"If I have the chance, I really need to see it."
Although Lu Qing possesses supernatural powers, he is still very interested in this magical place that can increase people's understanding out of thin air.
However, Lin Zhirui was moved after hearing the old doctor's words.
According to what the old doctor said, doesn't it mean that Lu Qing is still only in the acquired realm?
During the day in the Holy Mountain, he actually used his post-heavenly realm cultivation to severely injure Master Xuan Nu of the Hanging Mountain with one sword strike?
For a moment, Lin Zhirui's heart was inexplicably shaken.
Some people can’t imagine how Lu Qing practiced.
If one can reach the acquired realm, one will possess terrifying strength that can rival that of the innate realm.
"Mr. Zhirui, do you know where these people came from?"
Lu Qing used a knife to pick open the black masks on the faces of the two corpses in the yard, revealing two ordinary middle-aged faces.
Although he had secretly used his supernatural powers to find out the identities and origins of these people, he still wanted to hear Lin Zhirui's opinion.
Lin Zhirui looked carefully for a while and shook his head: "Forgive my poor eyesight, I have never seen these people before, and there is no record of them in the files I have read."
He also felt strange in his heart. Logically speaking, these people were so skilled and each of them was a martial arts master above the Innate Realm. There should be no records of them in their Tianji Tower.
"If I'm not mistaken, these people should be from Wujian Tower."
Just then, a voice sounded from outside, and the owner of Tianji Tower walked in slowly.
"Master!" Lin Zhirui hurriedly went up to him.
"Owner, do you know where these people came from?"
Lu Qing was not surprised by the appearance of the owner of Tianji Tower.
The fight they had just had caused quite a bit of noise, so it would be strange if a strong man like the Master of Tianji Tower didn't notice it.
"I am late, please forgive me." The owner of Tianji Tower said apologetically, "These people are really good at hiding. Even I was fooled by them and didn't find any trace of them."
"It's okay, they are just a few hooligans. There is no need to trouble the owner of the building to take action. We can handle it." Lu Qing said with a smile.
"These guys are not scoundrels."
The owner of Tianji Tower condensed a sword energy in his hand and slashed it across one of the corpses, tearing the clothes on the chest and revealing a strange tattoo on the chest.
Seeing this tattoo, he exhaled: "Sure enough, it's someone from Wujianlou. I didn't expect this terrible organization to still exist."
"Master, what is Wujian Tower? I don't think I have ever heard of this sect?" Lin Zhirui asked.
“Of course you haven’t heard of it, because this sect has disappeared for hundreds of years.
I thought it had completely perished and ceased to exist, but I didn't expect it to still be hiding in the dark." The owner of Tianji Tower sighed.
“This Wujianlou is a terrifying assassin organization that suddenly appeared more than 400 years ago.
But the speed at which it rose was very rapid, and at its peak, it even surpassed the Seven Killing Tower."
“Was it ever more powerful than the Seven Killing Tower?” Lin Zhirui was surprised.
You know, the Seven Killings Tower is the most powerful sect in the current killer world. Its power is so strong that many Zhongzhou sects have to retreat a little.
This so-called Wujian Tower can even suppress the Qisha Tower, so how powerful is it?
“Yes, although the Seven Killings Tower is an ancient sect with a long heritage, when the Wujian Tower rose to power, even this ancient assassin sect with a heritage of thousands of years could not match it in assassination.
These two killer sects once competed for their position in the killer world.
Each side sent out ten innate realm killers and ten acquired realm killers to compete in assassination techniques.
The result was that Qishalou was completely defeated.
In the twenty competitions, Qishalou lost seventeen, and fifteen disciples died in the competitions.
After that competition, the Seven Killing Tower was severely damaged and had to withdraw from the competition for the top spot in the killer world.
Since then, Wujianlou's power has expanded once again and reached its peak."
"Since Wujian Tower is so powerful, why have we never heard of the name of this sect?" Lin Zhirui asked.
"Because Wujian Tower has gone too far." There was a hint of complicated emotions in the eyes of the owner of Tianji Tower.
“When this sect was on the rise, they acted rather crazily. They would accept any commission and did many cruel things.
After defeating the Seven Killing Tower and seizing the position of the number one sect in the assassin world, their power expanded again, but they did not restrain themselves and digest what they had gained.
On the contrary, they became more reckless.
Their assassination operations became more and more crazy, and they were willing to accept any commission, no matter how immoral.
Even if it means killing a baby, he is willing to do it.
Even many disciples from other sects were assassinated.
Sometimes, in order to complete the task, we will do whatever it takes.
He even did something that angered the heavens and the people, such as poisoning an entire city in order to assassinate one person."
Such behavior made everyone shudder with fear.
Ma Gu couldn't help but ask, "Is Wu Jian Lou crazy? With such behavior, can other sects tolerate them?"
"So they disappeared later." said the owner of Tianji Tower.
"The Wujian Tower is so cruel and inhumane, and its wanton and indiscriminate assassinations are no different from the devil, so it is naturally unacceptable to other sects.
Therefore, under the call of the Holy Mountain, all major sects in the world immediately launched a crusade against Wujian Tower.
Although Wujian Tower is powerful, no matter how powerful it is, it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when faced with an attack from the entire world.
So after several years of purges and campaigns, Wujian Tower was uprooted, even its most secretive headquarters was attacked and destroyed, and all the disciples were killed.
In order to completely destroy this sect, the major sects even sealed up all information about Wujian Tower.
We must bury this evil sect in history.
I thought Wujian Building had been completely eradicated, but unexpectedly, there were still some remnants left.
And judging by its situation, it is very likely that it has grown stronger again.”
The owner of Tianji Tower looked at the corpses with a complicated expression.
I was shocked and confused.
"Master, you said that Wujian Tower has disappeared for hundreds of years, so how can you be sure that these people are the disciples of Wujian Tower?" Lin Zhirui asked.
"Look at the tattoos on their chests." Tianji Tower Master pointed at the clothes he had cut open earlier, "This tattoo is the unique symbol of Wujian Tower.
It is said that this tattoo is a secret method, and the tattoo contains a very scary medicine.
Once the disciples of Wujian Tower encounter desperate situations, they only need to use secret methods to absorb the medicine in the tattoo.
In a short period of time, your strength can increase by more than ten times.
However, this secret method can only be used once, because after using it, the user will definitely die of exhaustion.
Moreover, it takes a certain amount of time to activate it. As long as you interrupt the Wujian Tower disciples before they completely absorb the tattoo, there is no need to worry.
When the major sects attacked Wujian Tower, they suffered great losses from this secret technique because they did not understand the inside story, and lost many masters. "
Everyone's eyes fell on the tattoo on the corpse's chest.
It is somewhat hard to imagine that just this small tattoo can increase a person's strength by more than ten times.
Magu and his companions felt even more fortunate.
Fortunately, Lu Qing and the old doctor killed these people before they could perform their secret techniques.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"In addition to this tattoo, there is another one, which is their method of hiding." The owner of Tianji Tower continued.
“The Wujian Building has a core inheritance called [Wujian Walker], which is extremely unique in the way of concealing one’s aura.
Once it is used, even a strong person in the Innate Realm will find it difficult to detect its trace.
It was precisely because of this inheritance that Wujian Tower was able to act so unscrupulously back then.
They were certain that if they tried to hide, no one would be able to find them.
This is indeed the case. At that time, all the major sects in the world came to attack Wujian Tower, and at the beginning, it was almost impossible to find any trace of them.
Later, it was the Seven Killing Tower that put in a lot of effort and figured out a way to crack the "Infernal Walker", which finally made them nowhere to hide.
However, judging from what happened just now, Wujianlou has obviously made improvements to their inheritance.
Even I was kept in the dark and failed to discover them in the first place."
Having said that, the owner of Tianji Tower glanced at Lu Qing secretly.
Even he couldn't notice the people in Wujian Tower, but Lu Qing could.
How on earth did this boy do it?
Lu Qing did not notice the look in Tianji Tower Master's eyes. He thought for a while.
Suddenly he said, "Master, who do you think sent these assassins to kill us?"
