He Yiming looked outside again in surprise.
Those who were either killed or captured by Zhang Zhongzhen and the disciples of the Grand Divine Wind Palace were all huddled together outside the door. The bamboo hats on their heads were all taken off, revealing their true faces.
When He Yiming saw their faces, he found that some of them looked very different from ordinary people. Instead, they were somewhat similar to Romiya in the past.
Nodding slightly, He Yiming said, "That's right, they are indeed people from the West."
When he said this, endless questions emerged in his heart. What kind of heinous thing did Jin Zhanzheng do? Even ghosts and gods could not tolerate such a heinous thing. Not only did the Netherworld Sect rank him as the number one scholar on the Netherworld List, but now even the Assassin Guild of the West was interfering.
And this time, the assassins sent by both sides were not mediocre. They were truly top-notch experts who had reached the One-Line-Sky level.
If it wasn't for Jin Zhanzheng's unfathomable strength and extremely astute reaction, perhaps this assassination might have succeeded.
Zhang Zhongzhen frowned and said, "The Netherworld Sect and the Assassin Guild of the West are clearly two powerful forces that are completely unrelated. I really don't understand why they would join forces to assassinate Junior Brother Jin."
He Yiming narrowed his eyes and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, didn't you get a confession?"
"I asked a few, but these people's identities are not enough. They only know that the Assassin Guild suddenly received a large order, specifically asking for Junior Brother Jin's head. These people are coveting this bounty, so they came here. "Zhang Zhongzhen said in a deep voice.
"For some bounty, they came all the way to the East?" He Yiming said suspiciously, "Brother Zhang, they aren't talking nonsense, right?"
Zhang Zhongzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother He doesn't know, but the ways of the West are completely different from our East. For money, they can travel thousands of miles and are extremely adventurous. In our eyes, all kinds of inconceivable things are just ordinary things to them. "
He Yiming was relieved, then he remembered that Romiya's group of three didn't hesitate to spend several years to climb over the other side of the mountain. Even when he thought about it now, he still found it inconceivable.
From this, it could be seen that the thoughts and customs of the two sides were indeed different, so the behavior of these people was understandable.
He Yiming cleared his throat and asked, "Brother Jin, what did you do in the western countries that made them put a bounty on your head?"
Jin Zhanzheng thought seriously for a while. He frowned slightly and said, "It's nothing much. A few years ago, in order to break through the limit, I went to the western countries and challenged the Innate Rankers in their countries. Along the way, I killed a Three Flower, two One-Line Heavens, and a few Xiantian experts. "
He Yiming slowly opened his mouth wide, looking at Jin Zhanzheng with a strange look in his eyes.
Jin Zhanzheng suddenly snorted angrily and said, "Isn't it just killing these useless guys? Their temples even sent Venerable Rankers to hunt me down. I almost lost my life there. I didn't expect that they still wouldn't give up. It's really outrageous."
He Yiming's facial muscles twitched faintly. Finally, he let out a long sigh and didn't speak anymore.
It turned out that Jin Zhanzheng had made such a great achievement in the western countries. No wonder they would miss him so much.
If Jin Zhanzheng came to the Northwest and started a massacre, the entire Northwest would be shaken. All the Venerables on the Heaven Lake would not be able to resist going down the mountain to take his life.
Zhang Zhongcheng waved his hand slightly and said, "Brother He, although Junior Brother Jin has an unresolvable enmity with the West, our East and West are not harmonious. Although this kind of thing is rare, it's not the first time it has happened. But this time, the other party's reaction is a bit strange. They actually sent someone tens of thousands of miles away. I'm afraid it's not that simple. " He sighed softly and said, "Unfortunately, both of you have killed each other. If you can leave one alive, you should be able to ask something."
He Yiming smiled awkwardly. At this time, even if his face was as thick as a wall, he was embarrassed to say that he had captured this person alive before. However, because of his inexperience, he let this person successfully commit suicide.
As for Jin Zhanzheng, he snorted and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, it's the same whether we ask or not. Even if I can capture him alive, the possibility of him being willing to tell the truth is slim. It's better to kill him with a shot and save more effort. "
Zhang Zhongcheng shook his head slightly, but he obviously didn't have many ways to deal with this junior brother.
At this time, the old man in the small temple once again brought the boiling water up. Although he was scared out of his wits just now, after all, he lived here for a long time and had seen many fights.
In his world view, He Yiming and Jin Zhanzheng's fight today was no different from those butchers on the street who drew their swords at each other because of a disagreement.
Although Jin Zhanzheng's performance in the rain was a little profound and inexplicable, which made him somewhat unable to understand it, there was no difference in essence.
Therefore, after the winner was decided, the old man finally collected his mood and continued to boil the water.
When he filled the teacups in front of everyone with boiling water, he returned to the side of the stove. Before he could put the big teapot on, a white shadow suddenly rushed in from outside. Just like that, it stuck close to the old man's legs and came to the side of the stove.
The old man cried out in shock. Only then did he see clearly that there was a small white pig on the stove that he had been burning for decades. He didn't know when it had appeared.
This piglet hugged the stove tightly, just like how it hung on 108's chest in the past. It refused to let go even if it died.
"Baozhu?" He Yiming stood up in surprise. He blinked twice and finally confirmed that he did not see wrongly.
Zhang Zhongcheng and Jin Zhanzheng also stood up. Although they had heard of Baozhu's name and origin, they were definitely not as familiar with Baozhu as He Yiming had been with it for half a year.
Baozhu hugged the hot stove as if it didn't feel its scorching temperature at all.
After hearing He Yiming's call, it turned its head. Its long nose wrinkled, and its pair of small eyes narrowed into slits. It let out a soft hum from its mouth as if it was responding to He Yiming's words.
However, He Yiming's face was ashen at this moment. He knew very well how important Baozhu was in Heavenly Lake.
This fella was the favorite pet of Heavenly Lake's great ancestor. In the entire Heavenly Lake, its reputation was so great that even the Venerable One from the main peak could not compare to it.
Although He Yiming had not personally seen the great ancestor who was rumored to be in closed-door cultivation, as long as the calm Ai Wenbin and the arrogant Li Mingxuan immediately changed their expressions when they talked about Heavenly Lake's great ancestor, one could tell how powerful the great ancestor was from their respectful expressions.
However, the great ancestor's favorite pet had left Heavenly Lake and was now in front of him …
He Yiming swallowed his saliva and suddenly thought of a problem. His face suddenly became more and more unsightly.
"Baozhu, did you come with 108?" He Yiming asked in a deep voice.
Baozhu let out a soft hum again. Naturally, other people did not know what it was doing, but He Yiming understood its answer.
He Yiming sighed deeply and regretted his decision.
If he knew that Baozhu was close to 108, he would have been too careless for not noticing it.
There were many powerhouses in Great Shen, so He Yiming dared not bring 108 around openly anymore. Thus, he asked the young fellow to protect him secretly.
In fact, 108 had indeed completed his mission. Whether it was the assassin who hid in the carriage the first time or the people outside the small temple the second time, 108 had warned him in his unique way.
However, all of this was not enough to make up for his crime of leaving Heavenly Lake with Baozhu.
If the Heavenly Lake's Great Ancestor knew that Baozhu had left with 108, then it would be a disaster for him.
Jin Zhanzheng and Zhang Zhongyun's eyes flickered. Especially when they saw He Yiming's expression, they immediately understood the reason.
Jin Zhanzheng took a step forward and patted He Yiming's shoulder gently. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother He, Brother He, we can't help you with this matter. You can only pray for yourself."
Although he had never seen Baozhu before, he had heard about this strange spiritual beast from Zhang Zhongyun before coming here. Moreover, Zhang Zhongyun had repeatedly warned him not to stab it to death no matter what. Otherwise, what awaited him would be a fate worse than slaughtering the Innate Powerhouses from the Western countries.
Although he was forthright, he was not a fool. He knew what to do and what not to do.
He Yiming's face was bitter, and his heart was filled with helplessness. The little thing that used to be very cute now represented great trouble, and this trouble might not be something that he could bear.
Zhang Zhongyun coughed softly and said, "Brother He, you don't have to be too worried." He comforted Ou Yangming, "After all, your identity is different. As the Northwest … No, in the entire continent, there hasn't been a record of someone as young as you becoming a Three Flower powerhouse in thousands of years. Lord Sakyamuni, the King of Heavenly Lake, will probably let you go. "
He Yiming shook his head slightly. No one would take this kind of superficial advice to heart.
With a light sigh, He Yiming finally threw away this perturbed heart. Since this little fellow was here, it was impossible to send it back, so he would just follow it.
He would deal with whatever came his way. As long as he could keep it safe, everything would be fine.
Moreover, although this little fellow did not seem very useful, its strength was not to be underestimated.
Others pretended to be weak to eat tigers, but it could eat tigers without any pretense at all. If anyone looked down on it because of its cute appearance, it would definitely give that person an unforgettable lesson.
He Yiming collected his thoughts and finally looked at the stove that Baozhu was holding tightly. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
