The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Liu bid farewell to Li Yuanda.
Li Yuanda repeatedly urged Jiang Liu to stay another day and have some fun in Shanyang City.
Jiang Liu declined his offer, then leaped into the air and headed towards the Shanyang City.
Upon arriving Shanyang City, Jiang Liu sent a signal to the Frostwing Dragon.
After a short while, the Frostwing Dragon's enormous body flew towards Jiang Liu, with the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger following behind.
Jiang Liu leaped onto the back of the Frostwing Dragon, sat cross-legged, and the Frostwing Dragon turned and flew towards Yunzhou. The Three-Eyed Flying Tiger followed behind.
A conspiracy against Jiang Liu had already begun when Jiang Liu left Shanyang City.
Jiang Liu's appearance was too obvious; his tamed beast was a Frostwing Dragon. And he happened to be spotted by a Ranked Martial Practitioner was leaving the city.
Subsequently, the information about this Ranked Martial Practitioner was spread in secret. More than two years ago, after Jiang Liu won first place in the Martial Arts Tournament, a new message was suddenly added to the Assassination List: anyone who provided information about Jiang Liu could receive a generous reward.
The fact that you could get a reward simply by providing information about your whereabouts without actually killing anyone excited many people at the time.
Later, rumors circulated that Jiang Liu had joined the Flowing Cloud Sect, and that Jiang Liu had disappeared from the Jianghu for more than two years before the news was gradually forgotten by the public.
But this morning, the news suddenly spread, and it was spread by a martial artist who Entry Grade.
Speaking of this Assassination List, it's inseparable from the infamous Corpse Valley.
Because when the Assassination List was first established, it was created by forces whose ancestral corpses had been stolen, in order to assassinate the people in Corpse Valley.
They pay Jianghu practitioners to assassinate members of Corpse Valley or provide clues about Corpse Valley, and the list of bounties is made without revealing who issued the bounty.
Over time, the Assassination List gradually changed its nature, leading many people who wanted to settle personal grudges to also post messages on the Assassination List.
Gradually, the Assassination List came under the control of some unknown force, and as long as you paid, anything could be posted on it.
The three sects initially ignored it because they were all dealing with their own problems and didn't have the time or inclination to concern themselves with such trivial matters, which gave this power an opportunity to grow stronger.
As for who accepts and places the orders on the Assassination List, it's all done using code words. As long as the code words match, you can get the money from Daqian Bank, because those who place orders must have deposited silver into Daqian Bank in advance before they can place an order.
For example, Jiang Liu's message has a code on the Assassination List. As long as the person who accepts the order activates the code, someone will come to confirm the message.
Once the information is confirmed, half of the code for withdrawing the silver will be given to the person who provided the information, who will then take this half of the code to the money exchange to withdraw the money.
As for whether there was any double-crossing involved, only heaven knows, and no one can guarantee that. After all, people who dare to do this are people who live on the edge; who can guarantee anything for you?
Jiang Liu was unaware that someone had set a trap for him; he simply continued towards Qi Province. He planned to visit Qi Province first, and then return to Yunzhou.
The Frostwing Dragon gradually left the territory of Qian Province and entered the depths of the dense forest bordering Qian Province and Qi Province.
Suddenly, the figures of five Minor Grandmaster appeared and blocked Jiang Liu's way.
Without Jiang Liu giving any instructions, the Frostwing Dragon launched a breath attack at the few Minor Grandmaster blocking its path.
Three-Eyed Flying Tiger and unleashed a dizzying sonic attack on the five Minor Grandmaster, launching a mental attack.
The two Minor Grandmaster who were blocking the Frostwing Dragon were immediately hit and their bodies stiffened for a moment. It turned out that the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger's sonic attack arrived first, and then they were hit by the Frostwing Dragon's breath.
Instantly, the two Minor Grandmaster who were hit turned into two blocks of ice, Frostwing Dragon opened its mouth wide and sucked the two blocks of ice into its mouth.
The remaining three Minor Grandmaster were furious. Wasn't it said that Jiang Liu only had one Frostwing Dragon? Who provided this information? How could he not see such a large Three-Eyed Flying Tiger?
These martial artists had previously inquired about Jiang Liu's whereabouts and knew that Jiang Liu had been attacked by three Minor Grandmaster from Corpse Valley. If it weren't for Mo Han's timely rescue, he would have almost died, but they didn't know how he was cured.
Now that the five Minor Grandmaster are ganging up on Jiang Liu, it should be a piece of cake. But they lost two of them as soon as they met. How can they possibly fight now?
Actually, it was their bad luck that they were able to ambush Jiang Liu in this dense forest, and the Frostwing Dragon was in front of them, blocking the small body of the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger.
Furthermore, those who came to confirm the news dared not get too close, fearing they would be discovered. Therefore, none of those who were hunting him knew that Jiang Liu had already advanced to the Grandmaster level and was even traveling with two Beast Kings.
Even a normal person wouldn't think of this! After all, the most people in the Exotic Beast Valley can control is one Beast King at most, and you have two.
Jiang Liu wasn't going to stand there idly. He shot three ice needles at the three of them, and they immediately plummeted from mid-air to the ground.
The remaining three Minor Grandmaster also tried to dodge, but they couldn't even change their positions to avoid it. They could only watch helplessly as they were hit and fell straight to the ground.
This ice needle was an idea Jiang Liu came up with on a whim during his last battle with Xiao Junyan. As for their attempt to dodge it? What a joke! They managed to dodge it even under Jiang Liu's Divine Sense. What good would it do for Jiang Liu's Starfall Technique?
Just as the three were about to hit the ground, Jiang Liu waved his hand, slowing their descent. He wasn't trying to save them out of kindness; he just wanted to find out who was behind it all.
Jiang Liu leaped down from the back of the Frostwing Dragon, stood in front of the three, and said calmly with his hands behind his back, "Speak! Who sent you?"
"You bastards, if you have the guts, kill us. Don't expect to get any information out of us," one of them roared.
The other two froze, thinking, "Brother, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you! We're only after money, we don't want to risk our lives."
"Oh! You're very brave, then I won't ask you anymore!" Jiang Liu said, then used his energy to grab him and throw him toward the Frostwing Dragon.
The Frostwing Dragon opened its mouth wide and waited, and soon a scream came from its Frostwing Dragon.
"Do you have his courage? If you do, I'll give you a hand! I'll let you show your courage," Jiang Liu said calmly, looking at the remaining two.
The words, spoken in a calm tone, sent a chill down their spines.
The two immediately pleaded with Jiang Liu, "I'll talk, I'll talk, please don't let me die in the mouth of that Exotic Beast."
Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Go ahead and say it! I agree."
"We accepted the bounty together on the Assassination List, and then we gathered five people to carry out the operation. As for who issued the bounty, we really don't know."
"Assassination List?" Jiang Liu asked in confusion, then continued, "So how do you collect the bounty after completing the mission?"
"We have a code. Once the mission is completed, we can use the code to contact the middleman to confirm the message and receive the reward."
"Can you tell me your password?"
"I only have my own password; I don't have anyone else's." "Me neither!"
Jiang Liu nodded and said, "That works too."
The two then told Jiang Liu their respective codes, and after they finished speaking, they looked at Jiang Liu with expectant eyes.
Jiang Liu said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, since I promised you I wouldn't let you die in the mouths of the Exotic Beast, I will definitely keep my promise."
After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he got up and flew towards the Frostwing Dragon, and then two Starfall were released.
The two were overjoyed, realizing they had escaped with their lives. But their joy was short-lived; they were plunged into endless darkness.
Jiang Liu then ordered Three-Eyed Flying Tiger to devour the two men's corpses. He figured he had to make use of them, right? Besides, they died at his hands, so it wasn't a breach of his promise.
