"Have you heard? Qin Xiao was killed by an assassin. Moreover, it was an experienced Two-star Killing God."
"Ah? How could this happen? Is Qin Xiao dead? "
"That can't be right. Who would be so bold as to hire an assassin to kill Qin Xiao? Qin Xiao is an official disciple of the Fumu Immortal Palace. He is a peerless genius who is highly regarded by the Fumu Immortal Palace. Who would dare to kill him? "
"It's absolutely true. How could I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? However, Qin Xiao is not dead. It is said that the assassin was killed by Qin Xiao. "
"That's impossible. Two-Star assassins are all Second Step Heavenly Venerates and Human Immortals. How could they die at the hands of Qin Xiao? No matter how strong Qin Xiao is, he is only a Universe Fourth-Step Heavenly Venerate. "
"Yes, you must be lying to us. How is this possible?"
"I'm not lying to you. I don't know the details, but this is definitely true. I can guarantee it with my integrity."
"Who would be so bold as to hire an assassin to kill Lord Qin Xiao? Dao Hefeng? Hao Guixuan? "
"Shhh, don't talk nonsense."
Assassins were divided into six ranks. Their titles determined the strength and reputation of an assassin.
From low to high, they were ranked from one to five stars. Besides the five-star titles, there was also an ordinary assassin who did not have any stars.
One-star assassins had to have the strength to kill a First Step Heavenly Venerate.
Two-star assassins had to have the strength to kill a Second Step Heavenly Venerate or Human Immortal.
If that was the case, the strongest 5-star assassin would possess the strength to kill Ancient Sages.
Five-star assassins were also the strongest assassins.
Assassins were a special profession in the Immortal Realm, the Eight Great Sacred Realms, and the Vast Thousand Domains.
There was also a more resounding title for assassins. Most of the time, they were not called one-star assassins, but two-star assassins. They were called Killing Gods.
One-star Killing Gods and two-star Killing Gods.
Those who had attained the star rank were called Killing Gods.
Five-star Asura was also used to being respectfully called the King of Asura.
Other than the honorable title of the God Killer King, there was another title that was even more terrifying, the God of Death.
The will of the Grim Reaper meant that anyone who saw him would die.
Only those who had killed an assassin in the Ancient Saint Land were qualified to be called the Grim Reaper.
To be able to kill even Ancient Sages, there was no doubt that he was worthy of the title of the Grim Reaper.
For some reason, the news that Qin Xiao had been hunted down by assassins in the Ecstasy Fire Realm had spread throughout Linfu City. Such explosive news quickly spread throughout Linfu City. Within a day, the news had spread all over the city. Everyone knew about it.
Qin Xiao's fame was too great. Naturally, such an important matter about him would attract a lot of attention.
After the news spread, many people started to investigate in secret. However, in the end, they couldn't find out where the news came from.
Yuan Quan, who had spread the news, had already been eliminated. He hadn't left behind any clues, so it was impossible to find out who he was.
This matter caused a sensation in Linfu City. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it had spread like wildfire throughout the city.
As for who had hired the assassins to kill Qin Xiao, there were only two possibilities. Either it was Dao Hefeng or Hao Guixuan. However, Hao Guixuan was more likely to be the culprit.
As for Dao Hefeng, although he had previously hired an assassin to kill Qin Xiao, that was before the election.
After the election, Dao Hefeng had kept a relatively low profile and hadn't done anything.
Hao Guixuan had naturally been pushed to the forefront of the storm. Although no one dared to offend Hao Guixuan or the Haochu Clan, there were many private discussions about this matter.
The Haochu Clan's reputation had also taken a big hit.
Hiring an assassin to kill someone was a very dishonorable thing in itself. It was even more dishonorable that such a thing had happened to one of the top 10 factions of Linfu City.
If the top 10 factions of Linfu City had to hire an assassin to kill someone, wouldn't they become a laughingstock?
However, the popularity of this matter was quickly suppressed by another shocking news.
Soon, a new piece of news was released, causing an uproar in Linfu City.
"The latest news is that Lord Qin Xiao has entered the inner area of the Bonfire Realm."
"It can't be, right? Is he crazy? Does the inner area of the Bonfire Realm have a death wish? "
"Yeah, it's crazy. That's the inner area of the Bonfire Realm. Even third-step Celestial Venerables wouldn't casually set foot in there. "
"The outer area of the Bonfire Realm is already very dangerous. Entering the inner area means certain death. No matter how strong and talented Lord Qin Xiao is, he hasn't matured yet. What triggered him to enter the inner area of the Bonfire Realm? Is it to train? "
"It seems that no one knows the exact reason, but there must be a reason. It shouldn't be for cultivation. Lord Qin Xiao has always been very steady. He doesn't seem to be so impetuous and frivolous. "
"Could it be that … someone set him up?"
"Yes, I'm also thinking of this possibility. It's also possible that he was plotted against."
"Alas, is heaven really jealous of geniuses? Lord Qin Xiao won't really die in the inner area of the Bonfire Realm, will he? "
"The possibility of surviving in the inner area of the Bonfire Realm is very small. The news has been sent back. I guess Lord Qin Xiao has entered the inner area of the Bonfire Realm for some time. Maybe … he's already dead. "
"Bah, bah, bah, you jinx. Don't you know how to speak? Lord Qin Xiao is my idol. He won't die so easily. He's a peerless genius, and the Fu Da Immortal Palace values him very much. Maybe the Fu Da Immortal Palace has already sent people to save him. "" That's a good idea, but it's not easy to enter the inner area of the Bi Huo Territory to save someone. "The Fumu Immortal Palace has the ability to do so, but they'll have to send a lot of people. I don't think it's possible that the Fumu Immortal Palace would pay such a price to rescue a disciple who just joined them.
。”
"Logically speaking, it's unlikely. But don't forget that Lord Qin Xiao has an admirer, Princess Xiaoyu. What if Princess Xiaoyu asks the palace master for help? Maybe there's hope. "
"Yes, there's still some hope. But let's not care about this. We'd better pray for Lord Qin Xiao's safe return. It'll be a pity if he dies. "
The news that Lord Qin Xiao was in trouble was discussed by the people of Linfu City.
Later on, someone found out that the news was released by the Haogui Clan.
This was a very thought-provoking matter. The previous storm hadn't subsided yet. Why would the Haogui Clan release such news?
Could it be that they wanted to use this new news to cover up the old news so that people wouldn't discuss the old news?
If that was the case, wouldn't it be a bit like revealing three hundred taels of silver here? It would make people think that the person who hired the assassin to kill Lord Qin Xiao was Haogui Xuan, right?
But even if that was the case, not many people dared to talk about it.
The news that Lord Qin Xiao was in trouble once again caused an uproar in the city. Many people felt sorry for Qin Xiao and prayed that Qin Xiao would come out alive.
Of course, there were also some people who hit him when he was down, making cynical remarks and taking pleasure in his misfortune.
The most anxious people were naturally Fatty Xiao Dao Cai and the others. Qin Xiao was in trouble.
"Fatty Cai, you always have a lot of ideas. Think of something this time." Xiao Dao Cai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. As soon as he heard the news, he called Fatty Cai over. He also called Wilde, Nine Dragons, and Mo Wangbei over.
"Fatty Cai, aren't you usually the most talkative? Say something today. Don't pull such a long face." Wilde also urged. Fatty Cai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Brothers, don't be so agitated. Listen to me first. I'm also very anxious and worried. But — this matter really isn't that easy. If I had a good idea, I would've done it long ago. I wouldn't have waited for you.
Don't rush me. "
"The inner area of the Bonfire Realm is a forbidden area for humans. It's a land of death, a place with no chance of survival."
"Even if a great immortal enters, he may not be able to come out alive. Unless an exalted immortal is willing to take the risk. "
"In theory, it's quite possible for an exalted immortal to enter the inner area to save a person. But — it's also a great risk. Many exalted immortals have died in the inner area. "
"With just the few of us, do you think it's possible for us to invite an exalted immortal to take the risk?"
Xiao Dao hurriedly said, "Don't the three great powers have exalted immortals? They're trying so hard to please big brother Qin Xiao that they've sent exalted immortals to receive Qin Xiao. Let's go find them, explain the situation to them, and ask their exalted immortals to rescue big brother Qin Xiao. "
"They're trying their best to befriend big brother Qin Xiao because they think very highly of big brother Qin Xiao and want to win big brother Qin Xiao's favor. Now that they've done big brother Qin Xiao a favor, if they can save big brother Qin Xiao, big brother Qin Xiao will definitely repay them for the rest of his life. "
Fatty Cai still shook his head and said, "Don't be too naive, Xiao Dao. Befriending them is one thing. Big brother Qin Xiao is indeed very important to them, very important. But there must be a limit to how important they are. "
"Once the limit is exceeded, they won't do it again."
"Asking an exalted immortal to take the risk is already beyond the limit. So the exalted immortals of the three great powers won't do it."
"Even if the risk isn't great, it's still not small. If there was such a risk, there was a chance that he would die in the Gravitational Fire Domain. Just to get Qin Xiao's favor and gratitude, do you think any exalted immortal will take such a risk? "
Xiao Dao fell silent. Everyone fell silent.
In fact, Xiao Dao wasn't too naive. It wasn't that he didn't understand this. It was just that he was in a hurry. He really had no choice and couldn't care so much.
So, no matter if it was possible or not, he wanted to give it a try.
"Fatty Cai, from what you're saying, we can't do anything? Can we just wait here for news? Can we only pray here? "Ah Man said a little angrily.
Fatty Cai also said helplessly, "Ah Man, don't be agitated. I didn't say we won't do anything. But at least we have to have a plan and a goal, right? Now we have nothing. What can we do? We don't know at all. "
"What we want is for brother Qin Xiao to come back safely. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others. If we go to those forces, I'm afraid it'll be useless. "
"If we do it ourselves, we're even weaker. Now, I have two main ideas. "
Ideas?
Hearing Fatty Cai's words, everyone immediately gathered closer and stared at Fatty Cai with wide eyes.
As expected of Fatty Cai, he really had a way?
