Sure enough, it was a summoned Assassin!
Although Xia Pingan had some guesses before, the Assassin's ability was too strong. It could even summon magic, which made Xia Pingan somewhat suspicious.
Xia Pingan had fused with the Assassin Realm Pearl, so he could also summon Assassins. However, the Assassin that Xia Pingan summoned definitely didn't have that ability. Moreover, the Assassin's ability seemed to have exceeded the scope of an Assassin.
Xia Pingan slightly frowned and asked, "What kind of Assassin was summoned? How could it be so powerful?"
White Bamboo Priest's expression became somewhat dignified, "The Summoner who sent the Assassin had already fused with four Assassin Realm Pearls. Therefore, the Assassin he summoned wasn't an ordinary Assassin, but a Dragon Slaying Assassin!"
Just like Pharmacist, after fusing with the same type of Realm Pearl, the level of the character that could be summoned could continuously increase. Assassins were one of them.
Tian Guanglun's Assassin Realm Pearl wasn't the only one. In fact, Tian Guanglun's Assassin Realm Pearl was the most common Assassin Realm Pearl. Apart from that Assassin Realm Pearl, there were other Assassin Realm Pearls that could also summon assassins.
Fusing with one Assassin Realm Pearl would summon a Rank 1 Assassin, then a Rank 2 Assassin, then a Rank 3 Assassin. After fusing with four Assassin Realm Pearls, the Assassin summoned would be a Dragon Slaying Assassin.
Once an Assassin had an exclusive title, it would be terrifying. A Summoner who could summon an Assassin of this level would have a very high chance of being an Assassin. This was what they meant by specialization.
Xia Pingan's expression also became serious. "You mean that the summoner who wanted to take my life last night was a professional assassin and killer?"
Priest White Bamboo nodded. "That's right, and it's not an ordinary assassin or killer. That person's use of summoning assassins has reached the acme of perfection. He has reached a realm where he can fuse it with other summoning techniques. In addition to summoning the dragon-slaying assassin, he also bestowed the dragon-slaying assassin with an Earth Elemental Escape Technique, a Flame Explosion Technique, and a summoner's projection. With these three techniques, the dragon-slaying assassin he summoned could enter the secret room through the Earth Elemental Escape Technique, as well as clone himself, perform summoning techniques, and finally explode. With such a combination of assassination techniques, even a Five Sun Realm or Six Sun Realm summoner might not be able to survive. You're extraordinarily lucky to have survived. Even I want to ask you, when there was an explosion in the secret room, there was also the Divine Void Thunder outside, one inside and one outside waiting for you. Under such a dangerous situation, how did you survive?"
How did you survive in such a situation? "This was the second time that Priest White Bamboo had said that Xia Pingan was lucky.
In the view of White Bamboo Priest, it was indeed inconceivable that Xia Pingan could survive from such a murderous situation. If it were other people, they could avoid one, but they could not avoid the second. They would have died long ago, but Xia Pingan did not lose a hair.
Xia Pingan pointed to the small pit in the big pit in the secret room with a wry smile. "When the explosion happened, I used the Digging Technique to dig a deep pit here. I hid in the pit and used the Water Shield to protect my body. Then, I used the Fire Beacon Trick illusion to strengthen the Water Shield and rushed out of the underground secret room to detonate the ambush outside. Finally, I counterattacked after that person appeared, but I didn't expect that he would escape far away!"
Hearing this, Priest White Bamboo shook his head and sighed. "It was too dangerous. Luckily, you were still clear-headed at that time and grasped this slim chance of survival..."
"Elder, take a look. This is something left behind by that person before he escaped. I wonder what kind of spell it is?" Xia Pingan said. He moved his hand and took out the masked man and handed it to White Bamboo Priest.
Priest White Bamboo took the masked figure and took a look at it. "This is the masked figure of a substitute puppet. Substitute puppet is a rare summoning skill, which needs to be performed with the help of these magical items. Without this thing, that person might have been severely injured or killed by you!"
Holding the masked man, Priest Bai Zhu stared at the crystal ball in his hand. A masked man appeared in the crystal ball and pointed to a direction. Priest Bai Zhu then walked out of the deep pit of the Duke of Zhou Building and led Xia Pingan towards the direction pointed by the masked man in the crystal ball. Finally, they came to an alley more than 300 meters away. The masked man in the crystal ball slowly dissipated.
"That person disappeared here last night!"
"Can you locate that person's qi from this thing?"
"I can't!" Priest White Bamboo shook his head and looked at the masked figure. "Once this substitute puppet's skill is used, all the qi on it will be completely annihilated. Only a very faint divine power imprint will be left behind!"
"Is that person from the Blood Demon Church? How many people from the Blood Demon Church have disappeared in Shang Jing City? Could it be them?" Xia Pingan asked.
Priest White Bamboo stared at his crystal ball. After a while, he shook his head. "It's not someone from the Blood Demon Church. That person's body and the divine power imprint on this masked figure do not have the qi of the Blood Demon Church. The Blood Demon Church can be eliminated. It should be someone else who wants your life!" At this point, Priest White Bamboo put away the crystal ball in his hand and looked deeply at Xia Pingan. "That person is already at the Six Sun Realm. To be able to use such methods, the current assassin is definitely not a nobody. He's not someone an ordinary person can hire. Think carefully about who you have offended!"
"Don't you know the people I have offended? If it wasn't for my duty as the envoy inspector, I wouldn't have offended so many people!" Xia Pingan smiled bitterly and spread out his hands.
"I will let the Judgement Army pay attention to the strange people that have appeared in Shang Jing City recently. However, you have to be careful yourself. That person didn't succeed this time, but there will definitely be a second time. You have to keep a low profile and not show your face in public. If you can't do it, stay in Ping Mountain. It's safest to avoid the limelight for a period of time in the Ping Mountain Barracks!"
"Alright, I will remember. Thank you for your advice. I will pay attention these few days!"
"There's nothing to see here. I'm leaving!"
"I will send you off!"
Xia Pingan sent Priest White Bamboo back to the side of the carriage and helped him into the carriage. Finally, he watched Priest White Bamboo leave in the carriage.
Priest White Bamboo's investigation had brought Xia Pingan a lot of important information. At the very least, Xia Pingan could eliminate the Blood Demon Church.
Xia Pingan actually wished that the person was from the Blood Demon Church. If that person was from the Blood Demon Church, it would at least mean that the Blood Demon Church had already made a move on him. He didn't have that many enemies in Shang Jing City.
After taking one last look at the ruins of the Duke of Zhou Building, Xia Pingan shook his head. Fortunately, Xiao Die had already left last night and there wasn't anyone in the Duke of Zhou Building. Otherwise, people would have been implicated.
How did that person discover that Yang Cheng was him?
Xia Pingan thought carefully as he walked. There were only a few people who knew that Yang Cheng was him. The Crown Prince, Caocao, Lin Yi, and the others. These people knew their limits and wouldn't reveal his identity. It was even more impossible for them to hire an assassin to deal with him.
Other than these people, the only reason why Yang Cheng's identity was revealed was that he had been targeted for a long time.
He was the easiest target when he went to and from work at the Inspection Department. As long as someone was watching the Inspection Department, they could bite him. That person had been watching him for a long time and didn't make a sound. Only then could they discover that he would transform into Yang Cheng. Furthermore, Child of Fortune wasn't by his side these few days, so he didn't notice any signs of being watched.
That person had chosen to make a move after he had bought a bunch of Realm Pearls from the Roc King Auction House. He wanted to make a move when he was fusing with the Realm Pearls. However, because he couldn't grasp the exact state when he was fusing with the Realm Pearls and didn't know that he had the ability to see from afar, he was a little off.
Speaking of fusing with the Realm Pearls, among the Realm Pearls that he had auctioned last night, "Gan Luo Bowing to God" and "Emperor Song Conferred Pig King" had yet to be fused.
Who on earth was that person? Since it wasn't from the Blood Demon Sect, and the killer hired by the Huang Family hadn't arrived in Shang Jing City, who on earth sent that person?
Xia Pingan thought hard as he walked. He had a feeling that he had forgotten some crucial information, but he couldn't grasp it at the moment. He only felt that a light was faintly discernible in his mind …
Right, today was the day that the Poison Demon of the Blood Demon Sect formulated the Vanishing Shadow Poison. It was also the day that the Judgement Army dealt with the Poison Demon. Once the Poison Demon was dealt with, there was still the Dark Demon who was eyeing him covetously, ready to make a move at any time.
Why don't I just deal with the Dark Demon as well? One less is one less, so I don't have to worry about it …
Just as Xia Pingan was thinking about this problem, he had unknowingly walked out of the Tianyuan Bridge.
A gorgeous black carriage drove up from behind and stopped beside Xia Pingan. The curtains behind the carriage window opened, revealing a beautiful face that was as beautiful as a painting.
"Young Master Xia, where are you going? I'll give you a ride on the way!"
The woman in the carriage was holding a fragrant fan. She smiled gently, her eyes rippling like waves.
Madam Xuan!
Long time no see …
