With a swift movement, the knife fell.
Just in case, Murong Jin kicked the black-robed man's head off and then put a lot of Gu worms inside.
The man in black robes died a gruesome death.
Huo Yun'er was vomiting violently to the side.
The assassins from Lingjiu Pavilion never expected that the man who had just been so full of confidence would die right before their eyes without any warning.
The sickly young man in the wheelchair appeared in front of the man in black robes in an instant.
Murong Jin looked at them, toying with her fingers, her voice devoid of any emotion, "Death? Or submission, choose one."
"Brothers, even if we submit to him, we'll be suffering a fate worse than death because of the Gu worms in our bodies. If we kill Murong Jin, we can go back and ask the Pavilion Master for a reward."
Murong Jin's eyes narrowed. Yi Liu had regained some strength when the man in black died. After seeing the expression on Murong Jin's face, he helped Jin Jiu up and took several steps back.
Jin Jiu still looked bewildered. "You go help the master. I'll come over when I've regained my strength."
Yi Liu and the others were breathing heavily: "No need. We'll leave everything to our master now. If we stay, we'll only become a burden."
The main concern was that it might affect the master's performance.
Huo Yun'er stood aside, watching the assassins who were instantly killed, her eyes filled with admiration and surprise.
My brother is amazing!
Then, seeing the assassin suddenly rushing towards her, her expression changed.
Holy crap, is this targeting me?
After quickly dodging, she said, "Come on, your grandma will play with you too!"
Huo Yun'er drew her soft sword from her waist and played with it with great enthusiasm.
After the corpses piled up, Murong Jin threw down the dagger, and the assassin in front of Huo Yun'er was already lying on the ground.
Wow!
He rushed over and saw the blood flowing like a river in the wilderness. "Brother, you killed someone."
Murong Jin pulled a handkerchief from her waist and gently wiped her hands.
"Um."
The other guards looked at Murong Jin with surprise in their eyes as he stood up.
"Gentlemen, do I not need to remind you of what should and shouldn't be said?"
Everyone knelt down, saying, "Rest assured, Regent."
Moreover, some of them were from the Prince's residence, and some were from the old Prince's side.
How could they possibly be talking nonsense?
However, since their young master had said so, they would naturally keep their mouths shut, and some guards even felt a sense of pride, as if their son had finally grown up.
Good news, the little master's leg is healed!
Good news! The young master's martial arts skills have become even more impressive.
The bad news is, his personality seems to have gotten even worse.
………
When the man in black robes appeared at Lingjiu Pavilion, Yi Liu and Jin Jiu were both there.
Yi Liu asked the guards, "Where is the Pavilion Master?"
"Oh, it's the young master. The master has gone to Lingyue Tower."
Yi Liu: "Hmm."
The man in black robes beside him nodded, and the two left the Spirit Moxibustion Pavilion.
After they left, the guard was puzzled. That was strange.
He didn't seem to recognize that man in black. Could he be here to seek cooperation with the Pavilion Master?
………
Lingyue Tower.
"Master, now that we have the Evil Eye, what should we do next?"
The Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion sat in his chair and said, "Naturally, we have found that great shaman from Jinling Kingdom."
Staring at the black bead in his hand, although it was dim and somewhat resembled a luminous pearl, he could feel that it was tempting him in his dreams every day.
It can amplify people's desires; this evil eye is indeed as rumored.
Not long after, Yi Liu arrived.
When the Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion looked at the man in black robes, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
It was discovered to be fake so quickly?
But what does it have to do with him?
When the payment is settled, let him check it carefully; he won't be able to tell the difference on his own.
Now that it's all over, do you still want to cause him trouble?
"Elder Wu, what's going on?" He waved his hand to dismiss Yi Liu, who stood behind the Pavilion Master.
The man in black robes said in a hoarse voice, "The Evil Eye has been stolen. This wizard remembers that when we cooperated, there was a matter that you would be fully responsible for."
Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master said, "That's right."
"Therefore, this wizard wants you to bring back the stolen Evil Eye."
Pavilion Master: "Oh? I wonder who stole it?"
"Murong Jin, the regent of the Great Cheng Dynasty."
"I can help you, but this deal..."
The man in black robes wore a mask and spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "Fifty million taels of gold."
The pavilion master smiled and said, "Deal."
Even if he couldn't get the fifty million taels back from Murong Jin, he could just make a fake one. Besides, the stolen Evil Eye was something he had specially made; he had plenty of those.
Fifty million taels of gold, in exchange for a fake evil eye.
I made a profit.
"The deposit is five million taels of gold, and after the deal is done, it will be fifty million taels of gold."
Fifty-five million taels of gold—this was the first time the Lingjiu Pavilion Master had ever seen someone so wealthy.
Last time, the robbery of the Evil Eye only cost ten million taels of gold, but this time it's so much...
"good."
The man in black robes followed behind the Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion, and the group went to Lingjiu Pavilion together. "Until the Evil Eye is retrieved, you will stay at Lingjiu Pavilion for the time being, and the others will be at your disposal."
The man in black robes said, "Thank you."
The man in black robes was accompanied by several Gu masters, who were also dressed in black robes like him.
The Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion didn't feel anything was wrong, after all, the last time they met, it was the same situation.
Besides, he didn't care about these few wizards. His Lingjiu Pavilion had many assassins; how could he be no match for a few wizards who couldn't even kill a chicken?
Therefore, Yi Liu was assigned to protect the man in black robes, take care of his daily life, food and drink, and give him orders.
That night, the Lingjiu Pavilion Master was not present, three of the men in black robes were missing, and six more people joined the Assassin Pavilion.
The next morning, there were a few more masked people in the assassin's quarters and a few fewer unmasked people. With one more and one less, it was impossible to tell if there was anything wrong.
On the third night, the head of Lingjiu Pavilion returned.
"Your Excellency, this is the Evil Eye."
The man in black robes glanced at the object and sneered, "Master, don't try to fool this wizard with such an imposter."
A barely perceptible killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Lingjiu Pavilion Master. “Is that so? But this was snatched from Murong Jin. That cripple has lost all his martial arts skills and has also sent his secret guards to investigate Lin Hexi’s matter, so he doesn’t have many experts protecting him.”
The man in black robes sat there, holding a cup of tea. "Oh? Are you sure you saw Murong Jin in person?"
Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master exclaimed, "Could it be that what I saw was a fake Regent?"
"If you don't want this evil eye, you can just say so."
A voice that did not belong to the man in black robes rang out, "Hehehe, I really don't want this Evil Eye."
Upon hearing this voice, the Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion immediately jumped back.
The voice held a questioning tone, "Who are you?"
"Didn't the Pavilion Master say he had met Murong Jin?"
"You can't even recognize Murong Jin's voice?"
The Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion's pupils contracted. "You are Murong Jin?"
