Only on the second day did the city lord of Yue City learn of the death of the guard commander, Li Yang.
He had brought along two experienced Transcendent constables to chase after an ordinary person, but to no avail.
The city lord of Yue City was furious and sent people to ask about it. Only then did he discover the corpses of three Transcendent cultivators near the border of Yue City.
Dying under the hands of three Transcendent cultivators was nothing. Even if they died on the way to catch an ordinary person, it was understandable. It was nothing more than some political enemy secretly making a move, wanting to use Qin Nianmin as a spearhead to stab him and the forces behind him.
This kind of thing was not rare.
But what really frightened the city lord was that the three Transcendent cultivators chasing after Qin Nianmin seemed to have died from the plague.
Its appearance was almost exactly the same as those who had died of the plague.
All along, Transcendent cultivators were the backbone of the resistance against the plague. It could even be said that they were the only positive force.
But now, this kind of "plague", could it be that it had already touched the Transcendent level and could harm Transcendent cultivators?
Once even Transcendent cultivators were in danger, one could imagine how bad the situation would be at that time!
It was just that it was impossible to determine whether this situation was really caused by the plague or if it was caused by the plague after death. Or perhaps it was deliberately "arranged" like this by someone.
Because it was an isolated case, there was no final conclusion.
But the city lord of Yue City still did not dare to be negligent and immediately reported to the Rizhao Prefecture.
Because the plague had already begun to affect him. Because even if he was a Transcendent cultivator, even if he had a high position, there was still the possibility of him encountering danger.
When it came to his own safety, it was no longer about how many people died in a certain town or how many people on a certain street were infected with the plague … Death was no longer just a cold number on a piece of paper.
And it seemed that they had already walked to his door. Terrifying footsteps could be heard.
So this time, he was faster than anyone else and his actions were more decisive than anyone else.
… …
Although the plague had already spread to Red Tail County, the poison was still shallow. At least in Cang Feng City, the people's hearts were still relatively stable.
They only set up roadblocks in the direction of Rizhao Prefecture to prevent people from Rizhao Prefecture from coming.
World Tower was located in the northern part of Cang Feng City. Rather than calling it an assassin organization, it looked more like a restaurant from the outside.
There were people coming and going, it was very lively.
For an assassin organization, this was of course very strange. But when he thought of the fact that a killer organization with such a flamboyant name like "World Tower" and the fact that this organization had trained a killer like Su Xiuxing, he felt that it was not difficult to understand why a killer organization would be located in a busy city.
"After roaming the Jianghu for so many years, there must be some people that you dislike. There must be something that you can't forget. But you have a good temper, or perhaps … you have too many concerns! So there's nothing you can do. "
When Jiang Wang walked into World Tower, a person came up to him and said.
This person's appearance was rather ordinary. He belonged to the type that would not be found in a crowd. In a sense, he was quite suitable for the identity of an assassin.
"So?" Jiang Wang asked.
"So you need us!" This person slapped his chest and said heroically, "Our World Tower is strong and powerful. We have countless experts and ruthless people. Sabers, spears, staffs, halberds, fists, palms, fingers, claws, and knees. He was proficient in everything. Three years old, worthy of your trust! "
"… So your World Tower has only been open for three years?"
Jiang Wang was not too surprised that World Tower had only been open for three years. It was more surprising that this killer organization could be open for three years.
"Three years is not short!" This person said, "One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Three years is equivalent to countless years, customer! "
The corner of Jiang Wang's mouth twitched. Did killer organizations nowadays have waiters?
"It's like this." Jiang Wang said, "There is indeed someone who makes me very angry."
"Come! Customer, this way please! " This person suddenly raised his voice and leaned close to Jiang Wang's ear, saying, "Our organization is very particular about rules. When discussing business, we must not be in a crowd because we have to protect the customer's privacy!"
What he said made sense.
But …
He led the way in front, bringing Jiang Wang out of the crowded lobby and into a private room. Then, they sat down in the host's seat.
Hearing the loud noise outside, Jiang Wang wondered what kind of privacy such terrible soundproofing could protect.
However, this person had already said eagerly, "Customer, feel free to give me your mission!"
His eagerness was like that of a brothel keeper who had not received a customer for several months.
"How should I address you?" Jiang Wang asked politely.
"Just call me Ah Ce." This person said, "Customer, feel free to give me your mission!"
"Oh, Ah Ce." Jiang Wang continued to be polite. "What is your position in World Tower?"
"Everyone who joins my tower is my brother. Although I am the number one killer in the Eastern Region, I am not constrained by my identity. I run errands and entertain customers. Occasionally, I also work part-time! " As Ah Ce spoke, he suddenly changed the topic and brought it back to the original topic. "Customer, feel free to give me your orders!"
"…"
This strong sense of unreliability made Jiang Wang fall silent for a while before continuing the topic.
He gathered his emotions and said, "Someone scolded me, then turned around and ran away. I am still angry, and my hatred can't be dispelled! "
"This …" Ah Ce said awkwardly, "Just because he scolded you, you want to hire an assassin to kill him?"
He was even ready to leave his chair. How big of a deal could such a trivial matter become? What a waste of time!
"I will pay 20 Dao Origin Stones." Jiang Wang added indifferently, "Deposit."
"This is too much!" Ah Ce slammed the table and stood up. "What is that thief's name? Where does he live? I will definitely take his head for you! "
"Su Xiuxing," Jiang Wang said.
Ah Ce sat back down awkwardly. "His surname is Su, huh?"
Jiang Wang looked at him with interest. "Ah Ce, you don't know him?"
"I know him …"
"Why don't you just call him out and let him talk to me?"
"To be honest," Ah Ce said, "this person has already betrayed the organization and is no longer in World Tower!"
Jiang Wang said in surprise, "Your World Tower is such a powerful assassin organization. Didn't you hunt down the traitor to death?"
"This is what you don't understand. Our World Tower is in the assassin business. We have to make money from killing people. Who will pay for killing Su Xiuxing? We can't do things that make us lose money. "
"Even if it's to hunt down the traitor?"
"Even if it's to hunt down the traitor."
"You really have principles." Jiang Wang nodded and pointed at himself. "Don't I pay now?"
"Uh." Ah Ce finally felt embarrassed, but he still said reluctantly, "He's now in another organization. It's not easy to deal with him. After all, it's unavoidable to leave some friendship between people of the same trade. As the saying goes, don't go too far when you meet someone. "
"Oh …" Jiang Wang suddenly understood. "You can't afford to offend that organization?"
Ah Ce said angrily, "That's the doorless hell. A lunatic who even dares to kill a country's border general! "
This was the second time Jiang Wang heard about the doorless hell. It seemed that Yin Guan had developed well after leaving the You Nation. But just as Chung Geng Sheng said, he was dancing on the tip of a knife.
However, he was surprised that Su Xiuxing could enter the doorless hell. He didn't look like he had the kind of talent that Yin Guan would take a fancy to.
Jiang Wang sighed. "If that's the case, I can only let this big enemy go for now."
"Most of the things in the world don't go as planned." Ah Ce pretended to sigh and asked, "Customer, think about it again. Hasn't anyone else scolded you before?"
Jiang Wang, "…"
