After arriving at the riverbank, everyone discovered that they were now in a forest. The city walls in the distance were still faintly visible. It can be seen that they weren't far from the city.
After Liu Qingrui went ashore, he took off the black cloth that covered his face. Then he cupped his fist and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. It seems like this matter was caused by me. I've implicated everyone." Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "I'm sorry, everyone.
When Firebird and the others heard Liu Qingrui, they shook their heads. Firebird said, "This isn't your fault. Who would've thought that those big shots would be so narrow-minded. Alright, let's not talk about this. Viper, what do you think we should do next?"
Liu Qingrui smiled faintly and said, "We don't need to do anything. After today, I'm afraid that the Lu Family will no longer exist in the city. Our mission can also be considered completed. As long as we complete our mission, we can return to the City and submit it. The reward this time is quite good, we can't refuse it."
Upon hearing Liu Qingrui, Firebird and the others' expressions couldn't help but change. Firebird said, "Return to the City? You don't want to live anymore? "It was clear that Firebird and the others thought that Liu Qingrui was walking into a trap by returning to the City.
Liu Qingrui smiled faintly and said, "No, it's the opposite. We can only survive if we return to the City. If we run away now, the people in the City can label us as traitors and directly send people to kill us. When that time comes, it would be even more difficult for us to escape. Although they wanted to deal with me before, they didn't do it in the city. Instead, they gave us this mission and transferred us outside the city. Then they would borrow the hands of others to deal with us. They didn't dare to deal with us directly, otherwise, they would've already done it. Therefore, it's safest for us to return to the city."
Upon hearing Liu Qingrui, Firebird and the others stared. Then they nodded, they felt that Liu Qingrui was right. The reason why the other party didn't attack them was because they couldn't attack inside the city. If they could attack inside the city, then Liu Qingrui would've already died, he wouldn't have been able to live until now.
If they were to run away now, then the Merchant City could label them as traitors. At that time, they would be hunted down by the Merchant City, which was something they absolutely didn't want to face.
Liu Qingrui looked at them and said, "Alright, what we need to do now is to wait for the news. If all the Lu Clan members in the city are dead, we will definitely receive news tomorrow. Let's just wait."
Firebird looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Viper, you won't let them off so easily, right? Tell me, how many people will die this time? "
Liu Qingrui smiled faintly but didn't say anything. This time, Liu Qingrui was ready to go on a killing spree. He wanted to let the people of the Gold Spirit Trading Company know that he, Liu Qingrui, wasn't someone to be trifled with. Therefore, Liu Qingrui used a lot of means this time.
In the Sea Exploring Sect, many disciples would more or less learn some poison techniques. This was especially true for the poison techniques of the Sea Exploring Sect. This was because the lethality of these poisons was too great. This was especially true for high grade poisons. Just one drop of these poisons could kill tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. This terrifying degree of poison made people shudder.
In the past, Liu Qingrui's strength wasn't enough. He was only at the Spirit Refining Realm, so he couldn't use many poisons. But now, he was different. His strength had reached the Spirit Refining Realm. If it was in the past, he would've been able to establish his own sect in the Sword Spirit World. In other words, he could've established his own sect in the Sword Spirit World.
With the improvement of his strength, Liu Qingrui could use more poisons. These poisons were of higher grade and were more powerful. Therefore, even if Liu Qingrui didn't use Zhao Hai's projection, he could still protect himself.
In the end, all of this was because of the Sea Exploring Sect's poison. The strength of the Sea Exploring Sect's poison was beyond people's imagination. Most importantly, Zhao Hai was now able to combine this poison with magic techniques. The poison could be used like magic techniques, moreover, it could also be used as a medium. In other words, the Sea Exploring Sect's poison wasn't just poison, they were using it as a medium. Through this medium, they could use a poison technique that would make it more difficult for people to guard against.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Qingrui was very confident in himself. He felt that it was time for him to show off his muscles. Otherwise, there would always be people looking down on him, and there would always be people who wanted to provoke him. This would make him feel very troublesome. Therefore, he wanted to let those people know how powerful he was.
There were advantages and disadvantages to doing this. The advantage was that his enemies wouldn't dare to provoke him in the future. The disadvantage was that his enemies would use more powerful means to deal with him in the future.
However, Liu Qingrui wasn't afraid. He now understood that the reason why the other party didn't dare to deal with him in the City was because of Association Leader Bao's influence. The other party didn't want to fall out with Association Leader Bao, so they didn't attack him in the city. This way, Liu Qingrui would be safe in the city.
When Firebird and the others saw that Liu Qingrui didn't speak, they didn't ask anymore. They also knew that it was useless to ask now. They just needed to wait for the news.
Although the sky was already dark, everyone wasn't sleepy at all. They were all sitting quietly in the woods. Nobody spoke, everyone was thinking about their own matters. After some time, Wild Bull sighed and said, "Thinking about it, I feel that it's not worth it. Think about it, we were originally Rogue Cultivators. We went through a lot of hardships to enter the Trading Company. We thought that we wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing and could cultivate in peace. But we didn't expect that things would turn out like this."
When everyone heard Wild Bull, they all went silent. Just like Wild Bull said, they were all Rogue Cultivators. None of them were from the clans of the Trading Company. People from the clans of the Trading Company would never join the Dark Department. Even if they joined the Dark Department, they would only be part of the management. Generally, they wouldn't go out and do missions. On the other hand, Rogue Cultivators like them had to go out and do missions. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to eat. Thinking about it, they felt that it was unfair.
However, this world had always been unfair. In fact, they didn't have anything to complain about. But now that they were being schemed against by the Trading Company, they felt that it wasn't worth it.
After some time, Spirit Fox sighed. Then he looked at Wild Bull and said, "Everyone understands what you're saying. But do you think that you'll be fine if you join another Sect? Even if you leave the Trading Company and join another Sect, the Trading Company still wouldn't let you off. Moreover, the situation of the other Sects is similar to the Trading Company. Scheming against each other is everywhere. "
The group sighed again. Liu Qingrui looked at them and said, "Everyone, I must say that you're too naive. You think that you can just leave after joining the Trading Company? It seems like you don't know much about the Trading Company. Do you know why the people of the Trading Company want us to carry our identity cards? Moreover, we can't take them off. Do you know why? "
When Firebird and the others heard Liu Qingrui, they couldn't help but stare. To be honest, they didn't know. Everyone was looking at Liu Qingrui, waiting for him to continue.
Liu Qingrui looked at everyone and said, "I'm also a rogue cultivator. I obtained his inheritance in an ancient cave and learned all of my skills. Not only can I use poison, I also have a certain understanding of curse techniques. It's just that I haven't used it yet. This is because the curse techniques I know are very weak, it's not very useful. At most, it can only be used to deal with people with lower strength. It's useless against people with higher strength, so I didn't use it. But because of my curse techniques, when I joined the firm, I discovered a big secret of the firm."
At this point, Liu Qingrui paused and looked at everyone before he continued, "I don't know how you returned to the Trading Company, but I do know that when I joined and officially became a disciple, the Trading Company gave me a mission, an assassination mission. The target of my assassination was a sword cultivator sect called the Golden Sword Sect. Everyone might have heard of the Golden Sword Sect, they are one of the few sword cultivator sects in the Spirit World. They are very powerful. My test for joining the Trading Company was to assassinate several disciples of the Golden Sword Sect. I used poison to kill them. But in that mission, there was a special requirement, I had to say a few words to the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect. At the time, I didn't understand this requirement because I can use poison to silently kill the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect. There's no need to talk to them at all. But since the mission required me to do so, I could only follow it. So before the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect died, I spoke a few words to them. Then the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect were poisoned to death."
Liu Qingrui looked at everyone. Seeing that everyone was listening to him, Liu Qingrui continued, "After the death of the Golden Sword Sect's disciple, I suddenly felt a curse on my body. Because I understand curses, I was able to discover that I was cursed. This curse should be unique to the Golden Sword Sect. When the Golden Sword Sect's disciple was about to die, the curse would fall on that person's body. The Golden Sword Sect would then find the person who was cursed and kill them immediately. At that time, I discovered that I was cursed."
Speaking up to here, Liu Qingrui calmly looked at the crowd. Everyone's faces showed a shocked expression. Liu Qingrui believed that these people were the same as him, they also had a test to enter the trading firm. Moreover, there must be some special requirements. Liu Qingrui was afraid that they were also cursed.
Liu Qingrui glanced at them and continued, "At the time, I didn't understand why the trading firm would place a curse on me. But when I got my identity badge, I realized that it could block the curse. The Golden Sword Sect's people couldn't find me. Now I understand everything."
