"Don't Fucking Touch It!"

The man didn't say much, but resignedly swallowed the pill Shao Qiu handed him before falling off the rock wall and landing at the bottom of the Canyon.

Stand still and look down at the ground.

If you're caught in this line of work, it's a death sentence.

He didn't expect to survive.

But as that man said, there's a chance for a quick and painless end.

"It's all here."

Chen Fan slowly descended from the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, leaning on his Jadeite Staff. He looked at the group of people lying in a pool of blood on the ground, and the brown-clad man standing in front of them. Shao Qiu stepped forward to report.

"There are no other hidden Assassin."

"Um."

After glancing around, Chen Fan said softly, "Shao Qiu, what do you think of this assassination attempt? Give it a score."

"If the score is out of 10, I'd give it a 6."

After tilting his head and thinking for a while, Shao Qiu said, "The entire assassination process was quite entertaining. If you hadn't sensed the crisis beforehand, Domain Lord, there might have been real risks."

"Can the Shadow Pavilion do that?"

"Not yet, they need more training."

The man standing next to Shao Qiu looked up at Shao Qiu, a flicker of emotion in his eyes. He was somewhat surprised that Shao Qiu would rate his assassination attempt so highly, giving it a 6 out of 10.

That's not low.

This assessment, in particular, came from the mouth of someone who had silently infiltrated his inner circle.

This can be considered an acknowledgment of his abilities.

Chen Fan didn't ask any more questions about the Shadow Pavilion. Instead, he looked at the man in brown standing next to Shao Qiu and said softly, "I've already asked your accomplice about the things I'm going to ask you about in the carriage."

There's one thing that doesn't match.

I will not ask you any further questions; someone else will personally attend to you.

"Which faction do you belong to? Where is your Headquarters? Who planned this assassination attempt? What is your target?"

The man in brown spoke without hesitation. He had resigned himself to his fate. He knew this day would come sooner or later, ever since he entered this line of work. He asked for nothing more than to suffer less before he died.

"We come from the Wind and Rain Tower."

"A pure Assassin faction's main source of income is accepting bounty missions offered by other factions. Each City has shops set up by the Wind and Rain Tower for accepting and posting missions."

"Members of the faction are usually scattered in various places. Many Assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower are lurking in other factions, confirming each other's identities through coded messages, so that they can coordinate attacks from within and without when going to other factions, or use methods such as poisoning."

"Besides-

-""

"The Wind and Rain Tower also has a group of core members. We are all core members. Core members need to undergo regular training every year. The location is on a deserted Island. I don't know the exact location. Every time, we board the ship blindfolded and disembark blindfolded."

This Island is the Headquarters of the Wind and Rain Tower.

"The assassination attempt was planned by the young master of Wind and Rain Tower, and I am in charge of leading the team to carry it out."

"The assassination target was you. I don't know the specific reason for the assassination, but as far as I know, this wasn't a bounty mission; it was an order from the Pavilion Master of Wind and Rain Tower."

"Furthermore, there are people from the Wind and Rain Tower near the Mortal Domain who, after consuming the Meat Strange Parent-Child Fruit, telepathically informed me of your departure from Mortal City."

The next moment!

The man suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and black lines appeared on his chest, spreading rapidly outwards. He tried to say something more, but his body had already stiffened completely, and he fell heavily backwards.

A few breaths later.

It then turned into a pool of foul-smelling, filthy blood.

The other Assassin who were still alive nearby also died suddenly, turning into filthy blood.

"Heart-Devouring Gu".

Shao Qiu looked at all this calmly and said, "It's an extremely vicious Gu worm buried near the heart. Once the mother Gu is activated, the offspring Gu will awaken from their slumber, escape into the heart, and explode. The toxicity it contains can melt a person from the inside in just a few breaths."

"These kinds of Gu worms are very hard to find now."

As far as I know.

"You need to plant 'Gu Mulberry Leaves' in Level-5 Farmland to cultivate the offspring Gu, while the mother Gu is a rare type of Gu insect Exotic Beast. The people behind it have begun to clear the area."

"Domain Lord, leave it to me."

"I'll handle this. The Shadow Pavilion needs a bloody operation to truly grow stronger."

After a moment of calm silence, Chen Fan said softly, "The Shadow Pavilion isn't strong enough right now. Handing it over to you could result in death."

"Domain Lord."

"A ship is only truly safe when it's docked in Harbor, but that's not the purpose of building ships."

"The Shadow Pavilion needs a bloody operation to grow rapidly."

"Staying in the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion every day to cultivate, no matter how fast your cultivation speed is, is all in vain without practical combat experience."

The next moment, "What!"

Suddenly, an incredulous roar rang in her ears. Qi Yue, who usually had a calm expression, looked as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes filled with shock. She quickly recovered and murmured to herself.

"That's right, that's right! I was wondering why Zhou Mo's cultivation speed was so fast."

At this moment, Shao Qiu belatedly realized that he might have let something slip, and knelt on one knee with a face full of guilt and anger. "Please punish me Domain Lord!"

"Well."

Chen Fan sighed and waved his hand, "It's alright. Qi Yue isn't an outsider. I was planning to tell him this as a surprise, but you ruined my plans."

"This matter will be handled by your Shadow Pavilion."

"Set off immediately."

"First, destroy the shops that the Wind and Rain Tower has set up in other City, and see how they react. Try to find out where their Island is located."

"Clear!"

Shao Qiu nodded emphatically, then took a few steps back and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

"Qi Yue, get in the car and come with me. I've prepared a gift for you."

Inside the main Cave of the Mortal Domain Camp.

Chen Fan led Qi Yue into the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion without any attempt to hide it. Qi Yue, who was following behind, couldn't help but breathe rapidly the moment she saw the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion appear before her, especially after entering the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion and feeling the rich spiritual energy.

He had only heard of the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion in legends.

It is said to be a more advanced facility than Training Room.

If...

If he had possessed a Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion back then, he wouldn't have ended up on the demonic path.

Soon.

Chen Fan led Qi Yue to the depths of the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion, stood in front of a wall, and looked at a Bamboo Slip hanging in the air with a Hemp Rope. The word "Diary" was carved on the surface of the Bamboo Slip with messy sword energy. At first glance, it was unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, one could feel the sharp sword energy contained in the writing. He said softly.

I know you have people you need to kill.

97

I won't stop you.

"You've been giving Zhou Mo and the others extra practice every day for the past month, and they've made rapid progress."

"You're a swordsman, this is a gift for you, you don't need to..."

"Don't fucking touch it with your hands!"

However, he spoke too slowly.

Upon seeing the Bamboo Slip, Qi Yue instantly fell into a daze, as if bewitched, and involuntarily reached out to touch the Jade Slip.

The next moment, Qi Yue's body flew heavily backward, and in the blink of an eye, she flew out of the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion, leaving behind a sky full of blood mist and fragments of limbs and flesh, before disappearing and landing straight into the Altar.

Chen Fan stared expressionlessly at the long trail of blood left on the floor of the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion, then strode out of the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion.

Can't die, right?

Dude, you really dared to touch it with your bare hands!

His Jadeite Staff granted him the defensive effect of Level-3 City Wall, yet he couldn't withstand that attack.

Do you think your body is tougher than Level-3 City Wall?

Inside the Altar.

Qi Yue had already fainted. He picked up Qi Yue's arm and shook it; it felt wonderful.

The bones were all shattered, and the skin was completely torn open.

It wobbles like a boneless chicken foot.

He had never shaken an arm that felt like that before.

"Don't... don't shake... stop shaking."

Lying inside the Altar, Qi Yue struggled to open her eyes, her voice trembling with pain and helplessness.

You're really lucky.

Chen Fan lowered his arm and looked at Qi Yue, who was lying in the Altar, her flesh mangled and bloody. He couldn't help but sigh, "You've stained my Altar red. Didn't I tell you not to touch it? If you had landed even a little off course, you wouldn't have ended up in the Altar."

It was too late to save you.

"I... I want to... join... the Mortal Domain."

At this moment, Qi Yue's injuries were rapidly healing under the replenishment of Holy Water. The healing process was extremely painful, as it was an extremely thorough comminuted fracture, with every bone in her body broken into pieces, and they were constantly being reassembled.

"Uh-huh?"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. He had always hoped that Qi Yue would join the Mortal Domain, since having such a high-level Cultivator would make many things much more convenient. However, Qi Yue had a lingering resentment, so he hadn't brought it up and planned to invite her after Qi Yue finished killing people.

Unexpectedly Qi Yue took the initiative to speak.

"I'll think about it."

"Then... can I still comprehend... that Bamboo Slip...?"

"Mortal Domain Member have unlimited opportunities to comprehend, while outsiders only have one chance. You've already used it all."

By this time, Qi Yue's injuries had almost fully healed. She struggled to her feet, knelt inside the Altar, and said hoarsely, "Domain Lord, I truly wish to join the Mortal Domain. I have just vaguely grasped a point of understanding. I want to break through to the Martial King, sever Former Life, and begin a new one."

"Get up, get up quickly."

Chen Fan hurriedly stepped forward, helped Qi Yue to her feet, and smiled, "I've thought it over, you're allowed to join."

Let's focus on healing first.

"Nurture it well and you'll gradually understand."

One hundred Eerie Stone.

Two hundred Eerie Stone.

Three hundred Eerie Stone.

Chen Fan stood in the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion, expressionless, watching the scene before him. An hour had passed since Qi Yue joined the Mortal Domain, and he was very happy that the Mortal Domain had been able to recruit such a powerful expert.

But...

Isn't this guy using too many Eerie Stones?

Qi Yue's original words were:

The fastest way to comprehend something is when the sword energy Violence and crashing around within the body.

So Qi Yue turned into a masochist, lying inside the Altar and constantly touching the Bamboo Slip with her hands. Then, her bones broke and she lay in the Altar, her flesh mangled, to heal. After healing, she continued to touch them.

He built a new Altar for Qi Yue in the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion.

Furthermore, the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion enhances comprehension, making the comprehension process even faster.

He didn't know how fast Qi Yue was comprehending the material.

But he knew it would cost a lot of Eerie Stone.

Qi Yue is a level 9 Cultivator, so she naturally consumes more Holy Water to heal her injuries than others, especially with such an exaggerated injury.

Only Qi Yue could comprehend it in this way.

Anyone else who dared to try to comprehend it in this way would die on the spot, without even having a chance to heal.

"No, buddy."

Chen Fan stood beside the Altar, his face filled with emotion, and said, "What deep-seated hatred could make you fight like this? Doesn't it hurt?"

"Pain."

As Qi Yue, her bones shattered once more, landed on the Altar, she murmured in a daze, "But it was worth it."

"No one has ever helped me in my life; you are the first person to do so."

1

"Wait until this matter is over."

I will repay your kindness with my whole life, and then marry Gongyang Yue.

Goodbye.

Chen Fan clicked his tongue and said, "The last person who said he would do something and then marry someone else died a rather tragic death. That kind of sentence structure is a bit unlucky. Why do you guys always treat marrying someone as a major milestone in life, insisting that you have to do something else first before marrying that person?"

"Forehead..."

Lying on the Altar, Qi Yue didn't quite understand the meaning of those words, but she didn't say anything more. She got up again, touched the Bamboo Slip, and then lay back on the Altar, her bones broken and her flesh mangled!

"Take your time to figure it out, I'm going out now."

"Don't rush, Domain Lord, take a look at my move."

Qi Yue struggled to climb out of the Altar again, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. "I have comprehended a sword Martial Technique, one that I created myself. Domain Lord, please take a look."

"So fast?"

The Mortal Domain Sinkhole.

Qi Yue stood in front of the rock wall, holding a Three-Foot Green Edge in her hand. She didn't start with a fighting stance, but simply closed her eyes, her breathing becoming extremely light and long, as if she wanted to merge herself into the rock wall.

The next moment--

The Green Edge thrust out, Edgeless; it was more like a trembling pen.

The Green Edge touches the rock.

There was no explosion or shattering of rocks. The spiritual energy subsided, emitting a very low "sizzle..." sound, like a hot knife cutting into butter. A smooth groove about half an inch deep appeared on the rock wall.

Standing by and watching, Chen Fan vaguely felt that Qi Yue didn't seem like the Jiangbei Old Devil, but more like a scholar wielding a brush.

Immediately afterwards.

Qi Yue's wrist vibrated at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and the Green Edge pierced the rock wall rapidly, leaving an extremely fine and deep dot with each strike.

The Green Edge suddenly slowed down.

It seemed to be dragged slowly across the rock face by a weight of a thousand pounds.

With his final strike, he held his wrist suspended for a long time, but the Green Edge did not touch the rock wall; it merely slashed in mid-air.

However, this left the most significant mark on the two characters carved on the rock face.

Chen Fan.

Chen Fan stared expressionlessly at the two characters Qi Yue had carved on the rock face. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "To be honest, I don't really think it's auspicious to carve my name on a rock face. Why don't you carve your own name?"

That being said...

But he could clearly feel the power of this sword technique.

The rock wall was so strong that he used Level-5 Cannon Tower to bombard it, and it took him a while to barely create a small crater.

In other words.

This sword technique already possesses the power of Level-5 Cannon Tower, and should not be underestimated.

And to be fair, the two characters are carved quite well; at first glance, they exude a sharp, piercing quality.

Qi Yue finally opened her eyes and looked at the two characters on the rock wall in front of her. She looked down at the Green Edge in her hand with some excitement. "This is the first sword technique I have mastered. Its power is greater than any Martial Technique I have practiced before."

"Domain Lord."

Where did you get this Bamboo Slip?
