He had always thought that he had never named the Emperor of Jin. It turned out that he had. It was his fault. It was his fault. If he had known this, he wouldn't have thought about it for so long. Now he had corrected himself. The surname of the Jin was Yan, and his name was Yan Yuntian! He was so ashamed that he burst into tears!
… …
"Arrogant! He's too arrogant! He wants to flatten the Cool Breeze Gang! I'd like to see how Zhou Bao can do that!" The heavy roar resounded through the entire small courtyard. This was located in the southern part of Zhonghe Prefecture, in an inconspicuous small city near Qianzhou. There was an ordinary small courtyard. This courtyard did not look special, but it was the headquarters of the world-famous killer organization, the Cool Breeze Gang.
The Cool Breeze Gang was a killer organization. It could be said that it was the most successful killer organization in Jianghu in the past 300 years. It was not because they were powerful, but because they had existed for a long time.
Assassins had always been a very annoying profession. In the martial arts world, there had been countless assassin organizations. However, no matter how powerful these assassin organizations were, they were basically short-lived. They would be replaced by new assassin organizations in less than a decade.
It was not because they were not powerful enough, but because they had offended too many people.
If you walked too much at night, you would eventually meet a ghost!
If you killed too many people, you would eventually be killed!
However, the Cool Breeze Gang had existed in Jianghu for more than 300 years, and it seemed that it would continue to exist. This was a small miracle. Of course, those who were familiar with them knew that it was because of the principles that the Cool Breeze Gang believed in.
Be careful and prudent!
They would never accept a business that might bring them big trouble. Because of this, the Cool Breeze Gang even had a special business evaluation department. These people were not killers, but they specialized in evaluating the risks of a business. A business would only be accepted by the Cool Breeze Gang if it passed the risk evaluation of these people. This risk evaluation department was also a department that evaluated the strength of a business.
It was because of this cautiousness that the Cool Breeze Gang could exist for more than 300 years without collapsing.
This time, they took over the business of killing Junior Leopard after an evaluation, but they did not expect that they would return in failure.
Not only did they return in defeat, but what was even more unexpected was that not only did the assassin they sent not die, but he also became a messenger and brought them such an unexpected message.
The one who roared just now was the Gang Leader of the Cool Breeze Gang, a Level Six expert, Lan Wu.
There were eight people in the room, led by Lan Wu. Besides him, there were three Level Seven experts and one Level Eight expert. These four experts were the last trump card of the Cool Breeze Gang and also their strongest combat capability. Only when the Cool Breeze Gang's business involved experts would they be invited.
In addition to these five people, among the other three, one was the killer who went to kill Junior Leopard. After cutting off one of his arms, he returned to the headquarters in disgrace. The other two were responsible for risk assessment and strength assessment of the Cool Breeze Gang.
The killer with a broken arm knelt on the ground with a pale face. He was as embarrassed as one could imagine.
Although Lan Wu's roar was loud, it did not move any of the people present. They did not need to be moved, either. Not to mention the four experts, they had a high status in the Cool Breeze Gang. Lan Wu, the Gang Leader of the Cool Breeze Gang, did not restrain them much. The killer with a broken arm was already hopeless and had no mood swings at all. As for the two people in charge of the evaluation, they were all people with deep hearts. How could they be moved by Lan Wu's roar?
After Lan Wu's roar, the room was silent for a while. Then one of the two people in charge of the evaluation, dressed in blue, said, "Gang Leader, please calm down. This matter needs further consideration. It seems that we have underestimated Junior Leopard's strength!"
"Underestimated? I don't think so! " The other person seemed to disagree with him. He was dressed in a gray robe and looked pale. He said coldly, "I think he was just lucky this time. We overestimated his strength and treated him as a Level Eight expert. That's why we sent Kui Hai. His Green-scaled Five Poisons are the most powerful poisons in the world. Even if a Level Eight expert was bitten, he would die without an antidote. Moreover, the plan was very detailed. This time, he was just lucky to discover it in advance!"
"It's not necessarily luck!" The man in blue shook his head and said, "Just now Kui Hai said that the reason why he cut off his arm was that he was bitten by his Green-scaled Poisonous Spider. Kui Hai is a disciple of the Thousand Insects Sect, so he is the best at training poisonous insects. The Green-scaled Poisonous Spider has been trained by him for several years. How could it suddenly bite him? If Junior Leopard didn't do something to it, is there any other explanation? "
"It's true that the Green-scaled Poisonous Spider belongs to him, but you should know that he just said that the Green-scaled Poisonous Spider had been discovered long ago, so it had lost its breath the moment it came back. The reason for its counterattack might just be an instinctive reaction. I don't believe that Zhou Bao can control the Green-scaled Poisonous Spider in such a short time. If he can really do that, he'll be too terrifying. No, it's not a matter of being terrifying, it's a matter of making a mistake in our judgment. We need to re-evaluate him, no, not re-evaluate, we need to send the client's head to him!"
"Why?" Hearing this, Lan Wu raised his head and asked sharply. "Junior Leopard is from the Wu Family.
He is good at punching skills and hammering skills. He has condensed a powerful Hammer Spirit and practiced the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique of the Wu Family. He has successfully condensed the Internal Qi of the Fire Dragon and a set of powerful celestial devices. His cultivation has reached Level Seven. When he was at Level Four, he killed a Level Seven expert. When he was at Level Five, he killed a Level Eight expert. When he was at Level Six, he saved Wang She from the hands of Dark Lord Mie Chen. It's said that he seriously injured Mie Chen. However, this rumor has never been confirmed, so we won't consider it. This is all the information we have about him! "The man in blue interrupted with a calm tone. He glanced at the Level Eight elder and analyzed quietly," From this, we can infer that Zhou Bao's strength is not inferior to that of the First Elder. Therefore, it's meaningless to attack him by force. That's why we sent Kui Hai there. Kui Hai's strength is only at Level Four, but he is best at sinister killing. He might be a grandmaster of poisons. However, we have never heard that Zhou Bao knows how to use poisons, let alone manipulate poisonous insects. Therefore, his biggest weakness may be poison! "
"This is our analysis of his strength. Although he comes from the Wu Family and is now an Outer Core Elder of the Wu Family, we don't believe that the Wu Family will fall out with the Cool Breeze Gang for him. They don't have that kind of strength. What's more, as long as we do it cleanly and leave no trace, the Wu Family won't find any evidence. The same goes for the Tian Long Taoism. Although the Tian Long Taoism has a close relationship with Wang She, if Zhou Bao was poisoned to death, the Tian Long Taoism won't go against the Cool Breeze Gang for a person who has nothing to do with them without any evidence. That's why we think we can accept this deal! "The man in gray continued and said calmly," Therefore, I'd rather Zhou Bao was lucky to survive this time. But if he can counter the Green-scaled Poisonous Spider in such a short time as I said, it means that our understanding of Zhou Bao is superficial. Everything we see and hear in Jianghu is also superficial. Zhou Bao must have another master or even another identity. If that's the case, the best choice for us is to send the client's head to him! "
"No, absolutely not. If we do that, the Cool Breeze Gang's reputation will be ruined. We can't do that. Zhou Bao is just a 17-year-old boy. I don't believe it's so difficult to deal with him. How about this? Four Elders, you besiege and kill him together. I don't believe that Zhou Bao can escape from three Level Seven experts and one Level Eight expert just because he has extraordinary skills!" "That's right.
"If we do that, we'll completely fall out with the Wu Family and offend Wang She of the Tian Long Taoism. Besides, Zhou Bao is not an ordinary person in the martial arts world. He made great contributions in the battle of destroying Northern Yuan and has been conferred a title by the imperial court. If we kill him so blatantly, it means that we're going against the imperial court, which will give the imperial court an excuse to deal with the Cool Breeze Gang!"
The man in blue said, rejecting Lan Wu's suggestion in one sentence.
"Then we'll send more people to kill him. Didn't he say it would take a month? If we can't kill him, we'll kill the people around him. He has a big family in Yunzhou, doesn't he? Humph, this arrogant guy thinks he's invincible after killing several experts. He doesn't put the Cool Breeze Gang in his eyes. I'd like to see what ability he has to destroy the Cool Breeze Gang! " Lan Wu's face was ferocious, and his eyes flashed with anger. "If he really comes, then the Wu Family, Tian Long Taoism, and even the imperial court will have nothing to say if the Elders take action!"
There was another silence in the room.
"Since the Building Master has decided, I suggest that we use the strongest force in the Cool Breeze Gang to kill Zhou Bao's family members to provoke his anger. Then we'll set up an inescapable net in the headquarter to kill this arrogant boy!" The man in gray said coldly with a flash in his eyes.
"Well, that's settled. Send out all the people in the Heaven Group who have no task!" The Building Master said, "Everybody, there's no doubt, right?"
No one said anything. Obviously, they agreed with this arrangement.
"Well, let's show that arrogant boy the thunderous means of the Cool Breeze Gang!"
The Master of the Cool Breeze Tower's heroic voice echoed in the whole yard.
… …
… …
"What on earth do you want to do? Do you really want to consign the Cool Breeze Gang to eternal damnation?" As soon as they were out of the yard, the man in blue grabbed the man in gray and asked in a low voice.
"Then why didn't you stop him just now?" The man in gray sneered and shook off the arm of the man in blue. "This time, Kui Hai returned in failure. Obviously, everyone made a wrong judgment. Since that's the case, let's make the best of it!"
"Make the best of it? That's easy for you to say. What if Zhou Bao — "
"There's no 'what if'. Can't you see it? The Building Master can't agree to Zhou Bao's conditions. Since that's the case, we can only fight to the death with Zhou Bao. If we make a decision earlier, we can take the initiative. Don't you think so too? Otherwise, you would have stopped him just now! "
"Be that as it may, but —!"
"No buts. Since it's decided, there's no reason to go back on our words. It's useless to go back on our words. The Cool Breeze Gang has been through ups and downs for more than 300 years. Now there are four experts in the gang. Even if we underestimate Zhou Bao's strength and the killers we send out can't kill him, I don't believe that he can really break into the Cool Breeze Gang!" The man in gray said coldly.
"That's true. No matter how powerful Zhou Bao is, he only relies on his celestial device. It seems that the First Elder also has a celestial device!"
"Of course, otherwise, I wouldn't have instigated the Building Master!" The man in gray nodded and said with a sinister smile, "However, there are some things that we still need to plan early!"
"What things?"
"What happened to Zhou Bao may be just the beginning. Don't you think that the Cool Breeze Gang has been too ostentatious these years? It's not a success to be known by the whole world as a killer! "The man in gray said.
"What do you mean?"
"There are some things that we'd better prepare early and leave a way out for ourselves!" The man in gray raised his hand and gently touched his forehead. "Recently, my eyelids have been twitching. I always feel that something bad will happen. Brother Ling Feng, you and I are both smart people. You should understand what I mean, right?"
"Of course I know. A tall tree attracts the wind!" The man in blue, who was called Ling Feng, shook his head and smiled bitterly. "However, with the current strength of the Cool Breeze Gang, it won't be easy even if someone wants to attack us, right?"
"Of course it won't be easy. However, if something like this happens a few more times, the strength of the Cool Breeze Gang will be gradually weakened. I heard that this time, Kui Hai not only lost a palm, but also a Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion that he had painstakingly captured. His strength is greatly reduced!"
… …
… …
"A killer organization has been operating for 300 years. Now, even rookies in Jianghu know about their existence. Don't you think that their good days are coming to an end?" Junior Leopard sat in the carriage, playing with a green scorpion in his hand. It seemed that he was talking to himself or the green scorpion in his hand.
This green scorpion was found in the killer's room. He threw the killer out directly. The poor guy didn't even take his luggage with him.
However, as a killer, he didn't have much luggage. He didn't even have a change of clothes. He only left a small parcel and a bamboo tube.
There was nothing valuable in the small package. Things like antidotes were all carried by the other side. Even the bamboo tube was also carried by the other side. It was just that when Junior Leopard beat it up, it was thrown out.
Inside the bamboo tube was the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion, which was a little bigger than the Green-scaled Poisonous Spider. Like a magic cannon, he took out the soul of the scorpion and put his thought into it. Unexpectedly, it was just right.
What was just right?
After a period of practice, Junior Leopard felt that he was completely familiar with the body of this green scorpion.
This aroused his interest. Over the past few days, he had been controlling this body with his mind, trying to find a suitable way to control it. He couldn't just sit still every time he controlled the Green-scaled Venomous Scorpion, right? That was not good, and it was not valuable.
After several days of exploration, Junior Leopard learned something. That was, he didn't need to treat this Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion as his own body. His thoughts were separated from his divine thoughts. He only needed to give his divine thoughts a series of instructions, and the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion would naturally follow his instructions, just like a fixed program.
Soon after, he felt something else. Instinct!
Yes, instinct!
All living creatures had instincts. Eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping, and breathing were all instincts. Even a brain-dead vegetative person still had some basic instincts. Even if the soul had been taken out, it still had such instincts, because these instincts came from the body of the living creature, not the soul. Just because of the existence of this instinct and Junior Leopard's thoughts, it would be no different from an ordinary scorpion, even if Junior Leopard didn't manipulate it. When Junior Leopard wanted it to do something, he only needed to use his divine thoughts, and the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion would do exactly as Junior Leopard wanted. After constant experiments, Junior Leopard's thoughts had completely replaced the soul of the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion.
In addition, Junior Leopard made another unexpected discovery. This scorpion could absorb the Sun and Moon Essence and practice!
This was an unexpected discovery when Junior Leopard concentrated his consciousness on this scorpion. The body of this scorpion could automatically absorb the essence of the world around it, and turn it into an energy similar to Internal Qi.
This was an unexpected discovery, but it was also a discovery that was enough to surprise him.
After this discovery, his mind became active. In a sense, now this Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion was like a doppelganger of him, a living doppelganger. Now that he had two External Elixirs, both of them could practice on their own. If this Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion could also practice, it might have a chance to practice into an evil beast in the future. One more evil beast doppelganger meant one more powerful trump card.
Moreover, if he could succeed, then he wouldn't just have one more evil beast doppelganger.
The number of thoughts he could divide from his divine thoughts depended on the number of doppelgangers he would have. If these doppelgangers could practice on their own like External Elixirs …
Once this idea came into his mind, he couldn't suppress his excitement.
However, the result of the attempt made him a little disappointed. He could indeed make the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion practice on its own and absorb the Sun and Moon Essence. In fact, it was very simple. All he needed to do was to give a small command in his divine thoughts. Just like a computer program, he just needed to lie in a fixed place, how to absorb, how long to absorb, and how to transform the absorbed pneuma.
It was just like when he refined External Elixirs for self-practicing years. However, soon, a problem arose. On the third day, he was distressed to find that the Internal Qi in the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion's body was already full. If it continued to practice, it might explode and die. Only then did he remember that practice was a combination of internal and external cultivation.
After countless years of exploration, the human's method of refining Qi and refining body reached its current scale. What about the evil beasts? They could only rely on their instincts to practice. Therefore, even if evil beasts who occasionally developed spiritual intelligence could practice successfully, they would need to practice for a very long time. That was because they were not like human beings, who had already thoroughly figured out the acupoints and meridians in their bodies at the beginning of their practice and knew how to make the Internal Qi flow in their bodies. For evil beasts, this was a very common thing for human practitioners, but it was a huge problem.
"Damn it! Let alone nine doppelgangers, I don't know how long it will take me to practice this one!" After discovering all this, Junior Leopard smiled bitterly in his heart. "Should I find some legendary Demonic Cultivation Method?"
Demonic Cultivation Method was the name of the evil beasts that cultivated into human forms. However, the Demonic Cultivation Method had never appeared since the Middle Ages. As for the Demonic Cultivation Method, it was just a legendary thing because it was of no use to human beings. If a human practiced the Demonic Cultivation Method, he would only die. Even if he didn't die, he would become a monster. Therefore, no one would collect this worthless and dangerous thing.
"Whether it's demonic cultivation or demonic cultivation, it's said that they only rely on their instincts to cultivate. Even if there's a demonic cultivation technique, this technique is usually only suitable for the demonic cultivator who wrote this technique or its own kind, because it's only suitable for this race. Where can I find a scorpion spirit's cultivation technique?" Thinking of this, Junior Leopard was naturally a little discouraged. "But I heard that evil beasts practice by instinct. As long as they develop spiritual intelligence and don't encounter any major disasters, they will never practice by instinct. If I control it to practice like this, it is a little like pulling up seedlings to help them grow!"
Realizing this, Junior Leopard didn't insist and let nature take its course.
In this way, in the state of no desire, the connection between him and the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion was like a fish in water. That thought also completely integrated into the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion, and the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion seemed to have developed spiritual intelligence. Its spirituality increased greatly. When it encountered something, Junior Leopard didn't even need to pay much attention to it and it would carry out Junior Leopard's thoughts.
"Your Excellency, urgent report from Yunzhou!" Outside the carriage, Zhu Ba's voice sounded a little anxious. "18 killers sneaked into Yunzhou. It seems that they want to harm the Old Master!"
"Damn the Cool Breeze Gang!" Junior Leopard murmured, but he wasn't so worried. On the night when he threw the killers out, he found the branch of the Immortal Palace in Song River City. Song River was just a small city, so the Immortal Palace only left one person here, a peddler who walked the streets and alleys.
It didn't matter how many people there were, as long as they were useful. Junior Leopard found the peddler easily and asked him to send his entrustment. The Immortal Palace had a set of fast communication system, so he got a reply the next day. The entrustment had been accepted, and the experts sent to protect Junior Leopard's family had taken action. Along with the reply came the detailed address of the Cool Breeze Gang's nest.
