In the carriage, Junior Leopard sat cross-legged. Since he had made up his mind, he didn't waste any time and left the capital city in a hurry.
First, he went back to Yunzhou and settled down a large group of people from Zhonghejun City. In fact, there were only 20 to 30 people. Then, he went to his fief to have a look. That place was his fief. Although he still couldn't figure out where it was, he had to go there anyway. If the place was good, he had plans to settle down there.
Just as he had thought before, when he came to another world from an adult in his 40s, he became a baby. The memory of his previous life was not erased, so he didn't have any sense of belonging to everything in this new world.
He didn't have a sense of belonging, so he didn't have any sense of security. All these years, he had been working hard to increase his strength. There was luck and hard work. As his strength increased, his sense of security also increased. Now, he needed to find a sense of belonging. In this strange world, others couldn't give him a sense of belonging. The only one who could give him a sense of belonging was himself.
The carriage was not fast on the official road, but it was a little bumpy. The space inside the carriage was not small. Anyway, he was now a viscount. The nobility titles in the Jin and even the whole Central Plains were no different from those in ancient China in his previous life. Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron were the five ranks of nobility. He was now a viscount, the official fifth rank. Of course, the carriage could not be bad. Otherwise, he would not only lose face, but also the imperial court.
This carriage was newly bought by him. It was not too luxurious, but it was definitely worth the money. The space inside was not small. There was a soft couch and a small table for sitting, sleeping, and standing. On the side of the soft couch, there was a row of secret compartments for all kinds of small things. It must be very popular with women.
Junior Leopard mainly liked the closed nature of the carriage. It was surrounded by thick felt and cotton cloth, which tightly covered the inside of the carriage and formed an independent small space.
Junior Leopard liked this kind of independence. It was completely his own territory.
"Damn it! What time is it? There are still bugs!"
A small spider slowly crawled up from the window covered by the cotton curtain, spitting silk until it reached the soft couch. Junior Leopard raised his hand and flicked his finger, ready to kill it. Suddenly, a strange idea flashed through his mind.
A dark green light flashed between his fingers. What he flicked out was not inner Qi, but a thought.
His thoughts were like will-o '-the-wisps.
All of a sudden, it disappeared into the spider's body.
Then, an extremely strange feeling came from his mind. In that instant, he felt like he had become a spider. He had the sense of touch, smell, and vision of a spider.
But, this is only a matter of a moment.
In the next instant, his thoughts were extinguished, and he perished together with an extremely fine power that was somewhat similar in nature. It was like a drop of oil falling into water, and with a pa sound, it disappeared.
The spider fell down from the carriage wall, motionless. Junior Leopard could feel the breath of life coming from it. It was still alive, but it had lost its soul.
The force that perished together with Junior Leopard's divine thought was its soul.
"So, what if I take out your soul?"
Junior Leopard thought in his heart. He opened the carriage curtain and raised his hand. A suction force came from his palm, and several spiders and crickets on the roadside were pulled up.
After getting them, Junior Leopard started his Fiery Eyes and pulled out the soul of one of the spiders. Then, another thought was put into the spider's body. This time, it was successful.
Through this divine thought, Junior Leopard felt as if he had become such a spider. However, the feeling was very bad, because the spider's head was very painful, as if it was going to explode at any time.
"Pa —!"
With a light sound, the spider really exploded. But this time, Junior Leopard's thought was fine. Suddenly, Junior Leopard took it back.
As he retracted his thoughts, a strange feeling once again surged into his mind. It was the feeling of being a spider for a few seconds.
"Although it's just a thought, it's still too powerful for these insects. However, insects are very fragile. What if it's not an insect?"
After trying the method on several other insects, the result was almost the same. The only difference was the time of exploding the head. However, it was not without gain. Junior Leopard even controlled the body of the cricket to walk a few steps.
It was these steps that made Junior Leopard's previous strange idea a little mature.
"If I can find a few creatures that can bear my thought and put it into them, won't it be equal to having a few more animal doppelgangers?"
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and his mind began to become excited.
"Your Excellency, Songjiang City is in front of us. Let's rest there for the night!" Zhu Ba's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Okay, let's stay in Songjiang City!" Junior Leopard nodded and said.
Now, he couldn't wait to catch some cats and dogs to experiment.
Songjiang City was a small city in the central part of the Jin. The city gate had already been closed. However, Junior Leopard was now a Level Five Viscount, so he had the power to open the city gate in the middle of the night.
After entering the city, they met the attentive Songjiang County Magistrate and Songjiang Garrison. They warmly invited them to stay at the local government office, but Junior Leopard refused. After a while, Zhu Ba came to report that he had found an inn.
Song Jiang City wasn't big, and there weren't many inns. There was only one inn that could accommodate so many people so late at night. This inn was also the most famous chain inn in Jianghu. It was called Yuelai Inn. It was only one word away from Yuelai Inn.
Junior Leopard and his group booked a big yard. This was the only big yard of Yuelai Inn, and the only inn in Songjiang City that could accommodate so many people.
Then, the allocation of rooms was noisy for a while, but it was none of Junior Leopard's business. His room was decided in a short time. It was the Sky No. 1 Room.
The Sky No. 1 Room deserved to be called the Sky No. 1 Room. The room was very big, and there was even a small study and a living room.
"Interesting!"
As soon as Junior Leopard stepped into the door, his expression changed slightly, and then a strange expression appeared on his face. This expression disappeared in a flash, and then he walked straight to the bed as if nothing had happened.
There was a hanger by the bed. Junior Leopard took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Then he walked to the table in the middle of the room.
The teapot and teacups on the table were already prepared. He reached out to touch them, and the water was still hot.
"It seems that this inn is really well prepared!" Junior Leopard muttered to himself, and then he reached out to pick up the teapot.
The moment the teapot was picked up, a dark green light shot from the bottom of the teapot to his wrist.
Fast!
Fast to the extreme!
It was so fast that Junior Leopard didn't expect it. Even if he was mentally prepared, he couldn't avoid it at all.
A little bit of numbness came from his arm. Almost in the blink of an eye, his entire right arm became limp and numb.
"What a strong poison!"
Junior Leopard's eyes flashed, and he had already seen the true face of the green light. It turned out to be a dark green spider the size of a soybean.
At this time, the dark green spider was biting his right wrist, and its whole body was stiff.
Logically speaking, after biting the junior leopard, the spider should have escaped as fast as lightning, just like what it had done just now.
Unfortunately, at the same time it bit Junior Leopard, the Poison Cold Shield had already been launched automatically.
This green spider was extremely poisonous. However, Junior Leopard's body had been nourished by the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, and he had also cultivated the Poison Cold Shield. Therefore, after the poison completely paralyzed Junior Leopard's right hand, it was completely absorbed by the Poison Cold Shield. Junior Leopard's right arm became normal again, and the spider was instantly frozen under the cold air of the Poison Cold Shield, and could no longer jump up.
"What a sophisticated killing trap!" Junior Leopard smiled slightly. He flicked his fingertips, and the green spider fell on the table.
"My convoy is not secretive. They should have judged that we should rest in this Song Jiang City, and judging from the number of us, we can only rest in this big courtyard of this Yuewen Inn. With my identity, I naturally live in this Tianzi No.1 room. Therefore, they put this weird spider under the teapot and waited for me to pour a cup of water. Then, they will kill it with one blow!"
In an instant, Junior Leopard figured out the cause and effect. It was a very simple and abrupt killing trap.
"It seems that the people who want to kill me are very confident in you, little thing!"
Junior Leopard looked at the dark green spider lying stiffly on the table, and remembered its origin.
"Five Green-scale Poisons, one of the nine most ferocious poisons in the world. Unfortunately, you never thought that I would have the Poison-absorbing Green Bead with me!"
Junior Leopard refined the Poison Cold Shield, and he had the Poison-absorbing Green Bead with him, so he naturally knew about poisons. In addition, the appearance of the spider was too conspicuous, so he knew the origin of the spider at a glance.
Five Green-scale Poisons was one of the nine most ferocious poisons in the world.
Why was it one of them?
Because only when the five toxins of the five poisons were combined could it be called one of the nine most ferocious poisons. Although the five poisons could still easily kill an expert of Level Seven or Eight by themselves, they couldn't be called one of the nine most ferocious poisons.
Only a poison that could instantly kill a Level Nine expert was qualified to be one of the nine most ferocious poisons. If Junior Leopard was poisoned by one of the nine most ferocious poisons, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead might not be able to cure it before he died.
Didn't you see that Junior Leopard's entire right arm was paralyzed?
This was because the poison had spread to his entire right arm, and the Poison-absorbing Green Bead was able to cure it completely.
The Poison-absorbing Green Bead could cure all kinds of poisons, but it needed time.
Junior Leopard didn't want to think about who wanted to kill him. He looked at the stiff Green-scale Poisonous Spider on the table, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Ordinary spiders can't bear my thoughts, but I'd like to see whether this Green-scale Poisonous Spider can!"
Thinking of this, he immediately activated the Fiery Eyes, drew out the soul of the Green-scale Poisonous Spider, and then put a thought into its body.
"Hiss, it's so cold!"
A strange chill came from the body of the Green-scale Poisonous Spider, which almost froze Junior Leopard's thought.
"Good lord, the cold air of the Poison Cold Shield is really powerful!" Junior Leopard thought to himself. He raised his hand, and a stream of hot air covered the whole table. After a while, Junior Leopard's thought came to itself and passed the feeling to Junior Leopard's divine thoughts.
It was a wonderful feeling. After the Green-scale Poisonous Spider recovered, Junior Leopard tried to control its body. It went well, although it was a little awkward, Junior Leopard soon got used to the feeling. Different from controlling the Flying Sword, he could feel the feeling of the Green-scale Poisonous Spider through the thought, including its compound eyes, its venom glands, and the harsh and anxious sound in his ears.
This was a sound that only the Green-scale Poisonous Spider could hear. After hearing this sound, Junior Leopard felt that the body of the Green-scale Poisonous Spider began to respond to the sound, as if it wanted to leave.
It was just the body.
Its soul had already been extracted by Junior Leopard and dispersed long ago. Now, Junior Leopard's thoughts had replaced its soul.
With his thought replacing its soul, the Green-scale Poisonous Spider became an extension of Junior Leopard's body. Even if the Green-scale Poisonous Spider's soul was inhibited, it would naturally dissipate with its soul. Moreover, Junior Leopard knew that the Green-scale Poisonous Spider was not inhibited, nor did it have a spiritual connection like Junior Leopard and Little Du. It was just being trained.
It should be noted that the inhibition on the soul or the weird spiritual contract like the one between Junior Leopard and Little Du were the best means in Jianghu, and few people knew about them. The most common way to deal with poisonous insects and beasts was to tame them, just like taming hounds.
Obviously, judging from the reaction of the Green-scale Poisonous Spider to the sound in its ears, the sound that only spiders could hear was a signal, a command.
Thinking of this, the Green-scale Poisonous Spider jumped a few times to adapt to its new body. Then, it pushed off with its eight legs and turned into a jet of green light, shooting out of the window.
Following the sound, the Green-scale Poisonous Spider soon found the source of the sound. However, during the process, Junior Leopard felt something was wrong.
Two things were wrong. He found that controlling living beings was different from reining swords. Reining swords was just a weapon. While reining swords, he could still move his body. However, when controlling living beings, he could only sit there stiffly and concentrate on controlling the body. The concentration of his mind was much higher than that of reining swords. That was why he could control the body of the Green-scale Poisonous Spider wholeheartedly. This was the first reason. Secondly, the Green-scale Poisonous Spider was obviously deeply affected by the cold poison in the Poison Cold Shield. At the beginning, Junior Leopard didn't feel it, but after the violent movement, he felt that the Green-scale Poisonous Spider was dying.
Fortunately, the speed of the poisonous spider was fast, and the person controlling it was in the inn. Therefore, they arrived at the destination before the poisonous spider was completely destroyed.
"What?!"
This was another courtyard of the inn, much smaller than the one Junior Leopard lived in. The quality of the room was obviously not on the same level. There was only one person in the room. With the help of a dim oil lamp, Junior Leopard finally saw the person's appearance.
He looked very ordinary, about 30 or 40 years old, like a farmer who had just come out of the field. However, his eyes flashed with extremely cold light, which made him look a little scary.
After the Green-scale Poisonous Spider entered the room, it fell straight to the ground. From the thought, Junior Leopard could feel the pain of the Green-scale Poisonous Spider. Obviously, its organs had been completely exhausted by the Evil Qi of the Poison Cold Shield. It could jump so far just now because of the last radiance of the setting sun.
Obviously, the person had underestimated the situation. Seeing the Green-scale Poisonous Spider in such a state, he was shocked. He grabbed the poisonous spider and put it in his palm, wanting to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the Green-scale Poisonous Spider, he felt a numbness on his fingertip, which spread from his finger to his arm.
He hurriedly took two steps back and shouted in a low voice. With a wave of his left hand, a dagger appeared out of nowhere. With a flash of cold light, his entire right arm was cut off from the elbow.
"Uh —!"
He was also a ruthless person. After cutting off his forearm, he only grunted and retreated to the side of the bed. He threw the knife aside and took out a white porcelain bottle. He bit off the stopper at the mouth of the bottle and quickly poured the medicine into his mouth a few times. After that, he poured the rest of the medicine on the wound of his severed arm.
After finishing all of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He abruptly raised his head and was shocked to find that there was another person in the room. It was the target of his assassination, and he was looking at him with a smile.
His heart suddenly quivered, and he subconsciously wanted to touch the dagger with his left hand. However, as soon as he touched the dagger, he seemed to think of something. His hand stopped, and he looked at Junior Leopard with a bitter smile.
"You win!"
"Bang!" A big slap directly hit his face, and he was pushed to the corner of the wall.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
"Many people want to kill you!" Being slapped to the corner by Junior Leopard, his left cheek instantly became red and swollen, but he still said with a poker face and a cool look.
"I hate people like you the most. You pretend to be cool in front of me. Face paralysis!" Junior Leopard smiled coldly. He raised his hand, and a weak force lifted the man up. He flew to Junior Leopard and grabbed his throat. "I'll ask you again. Who sent you to kill me? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you. If you tell me, I'll let you go!"
"You'll let me go?"
The expressionless man's expression finally changed, and he asked with some disbelief.
"Answer my question, and I'll let you go!"
"I don't know who wants to kill you. I'm just ordered to kill you by my superiors!"
"Superiors?"
"I'm from the Cool Breeze Gang!"
Junior Leopard loosened his hand and threw the man to the ground.
The Cool Breeze Gang was a killer organization, a very famous killer organization in Jianghu. Just like the Immortal Palace, the Immortal Palace recruited many experts, and the Cool Breeze Gang recruited many killers, specializing in killing people. It was said that there was an expert whose cultivation had reached Level Eight in the Cool Breeze Gang.
A Level Eight expert working as a killer?
He had never heard of such a shameless person who had completely lost the face of a Level Eight expert. But then again, a shameless person was invincible. As a professional killer, this Level Eight expert could almost be said to be successful in every endeavor. But then again, it could be said that a Level Eight expert was invincible.
It was impossible for a Level Eight professional killer to act at will. If one wanted to hire a Level Eight expert to act, one had to pay a price that could not be borne by any person, influence, or even three aristocratic families.
What's more, because he was a Level Eight expert, he had to be restrained in many cases. If he killed everyone, he would easily arouse public anger. Therefore, the Level Eight expert of the Cool Breeze Gang almost never acted. He just stayed in the Cool Breeze Gang and deterred others.
If this man was really a killer of the Cool Breeze Gang, then he really didn't know who the client was, because the Cool Breeze Gang would only tell him the target, but not the client's information.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you to pass a message to your superior. Kill the client and bring his head to me!" Before the man could react, he felt the back of his collar tighten. His whole body was thrown out of the window and landed outside the inn. The sound of bones breaking rang out. "Crack, crack, crack!"
At least one-third of the bones in his body were broken this time.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled on the ground for a long time before he managed to get up.
Looking at the inn, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. When he was about to leave, Junior Leopard's voice, which was as thin as a mosquito but clear, came to his ears, "Tell your superior that I'll give you one month. If you can't do it, I'll flatten the Cool Breeze Gang!"
Although the voice was low, it made the man tremble in his ears. An incredible look flashed in his eyes.
Arrogant, too arrogant!
Since the establishment of the Cool Breeze Gang 300 years ago, they had accepted numerous tasks. At least 12 Level Seven experts and six Level Eight experts had been assassinated.
Over the past 300 years, no matter which force or person, even if they hated the Cool Breeze Gang to the core, no one dared to say something like that.
Flatten the Cool Breeze Gang? How?
With your head?
The Cool Breeze Gang not only had Level Eight experts, but also Level Seven killers.
A Level Seven expert could be regarded as the pinnacle of strength in the martial arts world. A Level Seven expert as a killer was much more deterrent than an ordinary Level Seven expert.
In addition, the Cool Breeze Gang was a killer organization with all kinds of killing methods. It had killed countless people in the past 300 years, so it must have other amazing means. Therefore, in Jianghu and the martial arts world, even if they didn't like the Cool Breeze Gang, those well-known families and big schools in the martial arts world didn't dare to go against the Cool Breeze Gang. But now, Junior Leopard dared to say so. How could he be so confident?
Junior Leopard was certainly confident. At worst, he could ask the experts from the Immortal Palace to do it. He could afford it. Moreover, he didn't care about the Cool Breeze Gang, a killer organization.
In the eyes of others, the organization was very mysterious. But in his eyes, it was not a big deal.
If he wanted to flatten the Cool Breeze Gang, he only needed to do two things. First, find out the address of the Cool Breeze Gang. Second, protect his family.
The Immortal Palace could do both.
Compared with asking the experts from the Immortal Palace to attack the Cool Breeze Gang, asking them to protect his family and find out the address of the Cool Breeze Gang was much cheaper.
"F * ck, I didn't provoke you, but you came to provoke me. If I don't teach you a lesson, who knows what kind of cats and dogs will dare to cause me trouble!" Junior Leopard thought to himself.
He had no choice but to say such harsh words.
The reason why the Cool Breeze Gang was so famous was not only their super strength, but also their stubbornness. After accepting a task, they would try their best to complete it. If one failed, they would send two. If two failed, they would send three until the task was completed.
Therefore, even if Junior Leopard killed this killer who played with poison today, there would be another killer who played with fire tomorrow and another one who played with water the day after. Junior Leopard didn't want to play such a long game with the Cool Breeze Gang. It was better to solve it once and for all.
What was more, he had nothing to do with the Cool Breeze Gang. It annoyed him that the Cool Breeze Gang suddenly sent a killer to kill him.
"I won't attack unless I'm attacked!"
This was one of the principles he believed in. "Since you came to make trouble for me without any reason, I won't be called Junior Leopard if I don't beat you up."
What was more, he had the strength to do so now.
The Cool Breeze Gang had a foundation of 300 years. Did they really think that no one could touch them? If they were not still useful, they would have been wiped out long ago.
"Hehe, let me see the assassination methods of the Cool Breeze Gang in the next month. Well, what is this?"
