King of Assassins

Jubaofang is the largest market on Tianlong Island. The entire market covers an area of ​​more than ten acres and is divided into thirty areas by twelve long streets, six horizontally and six vertically.

The center of Jubaofang is Wanbao Square, which is made up of eight areas. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, various casual cultivators will set up stalls in the square, which is the most lively.

The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea is so powerful that all cultivators, demons and ghosts do not dare to cause trouble here.

Wanbao Plaza is also the busiest on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Because dragons and snakes are mixed here, there are particularly many cultivators doing business. Especially the monsters from the East China Sea will come here to trade.

The East China Sea is vast and endless, and there are endless treasures under the sea. The East China Sea Monster Clan can often bring out many precious treasures, but they are of little value to them, and the prices for selling them are often low.

Human businessmen like these monsters in the sea. They are not very good at thinking, but their treasures are very good. On the other hand, human magic weapons and elixirs are the favorite things of the sea demon clan.

The two sides share what they have and it is impossible to say who suffers. There are also many practitioners who have traveled thousands of miles to pick up the leaks.

On every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Wanbao Plaza is full of stalls, and people in the square are crowded together, making it extremely lively.

"Senior sister, there are so many people here and it's so lively. Look, there's a guy with a fat head and a fish head there. It would be a pity not to make a fish head with chopped pepper..."

Jiang Xiaowei took Jiang Yuelan's bare hand and whispered in his ear.

Jiang Yuelan glanced at Jiang Xiaowei, and there was a trace of reproach on her beautiful face behind the veil: "Xiaowei, this is the Wanbao Market, where thousands of people gather, so don't talk nonsense."

"Hehehe, he can't hear it. Besides, the monsters may not understand what we say..."

Jiang Xiaowei is only eighteen this year and is a direct disciple of the Tianyue Sect. She has a distinguished status and has never suffered any setbacks since she was a child. There is a bit of outspokenness in his innocence.

She also had no fear of her senior sister Jiang Yuelan. This senior sister had the most gentle temperament and would not say a harsh word even if she was angry. He was the most kind to her, so how could he teach her a lesson over such a trivial matter?

Jiang Xiaowei couldn't help but reach out to grab Jiang Yuelan's veil, "Senior sister, why are you wearing this thing? Aren't you bored?"

Through a veil as light as mist, Jiang Yuelan's expression was clearly visible, and the outline of her facial features could be seen clearly, but the details could not be seen clearly. What's amazing is that every expression of Jiang Yuelan can be clearly conveyed.

Jiang Xiaowei felt it was unnecessary.

Senior sister is so beautiful, why should she be covered with a veil?

Jiang Yuelan patted Jiang Xiaowei's hand gently: "Don't be ridiculous."

"Senior sister, you still hit me."

Jiang Xiaowei pouted and muttered a little aggrievedly: "I'm doing this all for your own good."

She pointed at the young cultivators on the left and right: "These guys are following us in a sneaky way, just to catch a glimpse of your beauty."

Several young cultivators pointed at by Jiang Xiaowei were a little confused. If you have a thin face, your face will turn red.

Jiang Xiaowei pouted at these people: "You have so much courage, but you still want to see the true face of the saint?"

Everyone was even more embarrassed, and it was difficult to conflict with Jiang Xiaowei, so they could only turn around and leave silently.

The young cultivators following Jiang Yuelan and the others all had strange expressions on their faces.

Xu Jinchuan suggested: "How about we go back?"

Bai Sheng smiled and said: "Xu Jinchuan, the peerless genius of the Five Elements, is still afraid of a little girl."

Xu Jinchuan's slightly golden face showed a wry smile: "Brother Bai, I'm not afraid of little girls, but it's really not good to follow them."

"That is Jiang Yuelan, a saint who has not been seen in Tianyue Sect for thousands of years. It is said that she formed elixirs at the age of twelve, transformed into gods at the age of seventeen, and survived tribulations at the age of twenty-one. At the age of thirty-seven this year, she is already a ten-tribulation immortal."

Bai Sheng sighed and said: "Such a genius ranks among the top ten in the history of monasticism recorded in the Qingtian world for millions of years."

Xu Jinchuan and several other young cultivators are silent. Despite their young appearance, the youngest Xu Jinchuan is already three hundred years old.

It is not that easy to cultivate to become a human being. To survive ten thunder tribulations in their thirties is really unthinkable for them.

Therefore, upon hearing that Jiang Yuelan had arrived, geniuses from all sects came together to have a look.

Although Jiang Yuelan's face was covered, her grace and demeanor were like a clear lotus emerging from the water, pure and beautiful, beautiful but not demonic.

Although everyone is a genius in various sects, compared with them, they can't help but feel ashamed.

The little girl who followed Jiang Yuelan had a sharp tongue. Although they were of low seniority, she was a well-respected genius in all major sects. No one wanted to be ridiculed by a little girl in front of their faces. Even though this little girl looks delicate and cute.

Bai Sheng is much more experienced than this group of people. He is handsome, personable, and very experienced in women.

He advised everyone: "It will make you feel guilty if you leave now. It is better to go up directly and exchange polite greetings. We are all fellow Taoists, so there is nothing shameful about it."

Everyone was hesitant. Although everyone was a Taoist cultivator, it was a bit rude to go up rashly.

Bai Sheng didn't care about this. He waved his fan and took the initiative to find Jiang Yuelan in front of him: "In front of me is Taoist Fellow Jiang from the Tianyue Sect."

Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Xiaowei both turned around after hearing this, and looked at Bai Sheng with their two pairs of bright eyes.

Jiang Yuelan's eyes were indifferent, but Jiang Xiaowei's eyes were full of curiosity. She looked Bai Sheng up and down.

Bai Sheng is dressed in a white Taoist uniform and has a handsome appearance. The key is that he has a clear and generous demeanor, which makes Jiang Xiaowei feel a little fond of him.

They are all cultivators, timid and sneaky, which is really annoying.

Jiang Xiaowei asked curiously: "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Bai Sheng snapped the jade fracture fan in his hand and saluted: "I am Bai Sheng of the Yuxiao Sect, and I have met two Taoist friends."

"Sword Immortal Bai Sheng, I've heard of it."

Jiang Xiaowei nodded, this Bai Sheng was very famous and was also a famous swordsman in the Eastern States.

Among the younger generation, he is considered one of the most outstanding talents.

Of course, this young refers to seniority. In terms of age, this Bai Sheng should be seven or eight hundred years old.

However, ascetics still have to make friends based on their cultivation level and seniority. Jiang Xiaowei and Jiang Yuelan were both direct disciples of the sect master. Even if they were less than a fraction of each other's age, they were equals.

Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Xiaowei both bowed their heads in return.

Bai Sheng pointed at Xu Jinchuan and several people behind him: "This is fellow Taoist Xu Jinchuan of Five Elements Taoism, and this is fellow Taoist Xu Jinchuan of Shangqing Sect..."

Bai Sheng, Xu Jinchuan and their group are all famous geniuses from various sects. Jiang Yuelan has heard of it all.

These people were all considered seniors, and Jiang Yuelan was very polite and polite to everyone.

Jiang Xiaowei liked the excitement the most. Although she had met this group of people for the first time, she kept chatting and acted very excited.

"I heard that it's easy to pick things up in Wanbao Market. If any of you have a good eye, help me pick..."

Bai Sheng introduced with a smile, "Jinchuan is born with a spiritual eye, and he is the most powerful in this aspect..."

"Ashamed, I don't understand many things, but I can try my best to help..."

Jiang Xiaowei's familiarity made Xu Jinchuan and the others less cautious. Within a few words, the atmosphere became heated.

Everyone is a human being, except for Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Xiaowei, who have rich experience and knowledge.

A group of people went shopping together. Although they didn't find anything particularly good, they also bought a lot of good things.

Jiang Xiaowei was quite happy, having gained a lot this day. She was the youngest among the group, so Bai Sheng and others couldn't help but give her some small gifts.

These little gifts are not very valuable, but they are very interesting and fun. Jiang Xiaowei felt at ease after holding it.

After walking around for a long time, everyone became familiar with each other.

Bai Sheng suggested: "There is Wanbao House opposite, and the refreshments inside are the most exquisite."

Everyone agreed and felt that they could sit down and have a rest.

Everyone is a human being, no matter how tired they are, they are not tired. It's just that the market is noisy and chaotic, and not suitable for chatting.

Although Bai Sheng was visiting Tianlong Island for the first time, he already knew the situation clearly.

He led everyone into Wanbao Tower, and asked for a tea room on the fifth floor as a familiar person.

Looking down from the fifth floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Wanbao Market. Due to the isolation of the magic circle, the noisy and lively sounds in the market are absent, but there is stillness in the bustle, which makes the teahouse even more peaceful.

Bai Sheng sat with everyone making tea. He took out his precious spiritual tea, Feihe Tea. The tea soup of this tea would turn into a flying crane soaring and flowing in the cup, and there was a faint sound of cranes chirping.

Everyone who drank this tea praised it, it was indeed the best tea.

Jiang Yuelan covered her face with her sleeves and took a drink, and also praised softly.

After three soaks in this way, everyone enjoyed some exquisite refreshments and fruits, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Jiang Xiaowei also liked the atmosphere of this party. She asked Bai Sheng curiously: "Fellow Daoist Bai, I heard that there is a peerless genius in Buddhism who has a golden phase. He is a master of the Vajra Power King Sutra and is extremely domineering. I don't know if it is true or not?"

Bai Sheng smiled, although Jiang Xiaowei is young, she is very smart. With her status, how could she not know about metal phase?

The sudden mention of metallurgy was just because I wanted to hear what news they had.

However, Buddhism is the great enemy of Taoism. It's nothing to exchange news about enemies with each other.

Bai Sheng took the initiative to take over the conversation and said: "Jin Xiang is really powerful. He has been invincible since he was born. In terms of combat power, he is probably far better than us."

A Shangqing Sect cultivator said nonchalantly: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to destroy your own spirit. The Hundred Victory Sword Immortal is also victorious in every battle..."

Bai Sheng waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't say that, it's just a false name given by fellow Taoists. I have self-awareness, but it is far inferior to that of Jin Xiang."

Xu Jinchuan also nodded: "This is not to say that fellow Taoist Bai is being humble. We have seen the golden phase once. This man was born with a different appearance and has extraordinary talents. His divine power is unparalleled and far surpasses mine."

He glanced at Jiang Yuelan as he spoke, "Of course, it's still far behind Daoyou Jiang's peerless talent."

A Ten-Tribulation Human Immortal in his thirties, many powerful Taoists are certain that this is the reincarnation of a certain Taoist master.

Such a person is not comparable to these little immortals.

Jiang Yuelan lowered her eyes slightly and lowered her head: "Fellow Taoist is overly praised. Fellow Taoist Jin Xiang has a deep foundation, and I am far inferior."

She is extremely humble, and her talent in metallography is no less than hers. She has been practicing the Vajra Power King Sutra for hundreds of years, and her foundation is ten times deeper than hers.

In terms of combat power, it has actually reached the pinnacle of this world. Even the top powerhouses like Xuan Ye and Donghai Dragon King, Jin Xiang is qualified to fight against them.

Bai Sheng smiled and said: "Although Jin Xiang is strong, he cannot be called invincible. She just lost not long ago."

"Oh, Jin Xiang lost?"

Jiang Yuelan was a little surprised. She had just arrived at Tianlong Island and had very little information. She had not heard about it.

The key is that Jin Xiang is so strong, who can defeat Jin Xiang?

"Yes, dozens of days ago, Jin Xiang was defeated by Heavenly Master Gao Xuan."

Bai Sheng said with great certainty: "This matter is the news coming from the East China Sea Dragon Clan, it must be correct."

"Celestial Master Gao Xuan?"

A cultivator from the Shangqing Sect asked: "Is it Gao Xuan from the northern state?"

Heavenly Master Gao Xuan destroyed the Beihai Dragon Clan and the powerful Buddhists in the northern states. This incident spread throughout the world.

Although the eastern states looked down on other states, they were all shocked by this incident. The powerful men from all major sects also remembered Gao Xuan's name.

Moreover, during this period, Gao Xuan's reputation grew. No matter where you go, you can hear people talking about Gao Xuan.

Many people call Gao Xuan the strongest man in the Qingtian Realm!

There are so many powerful people in the Qingtian Realm, who dares to call himself the strongest?

Even if he is as strong as the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he does not dare to claim to be the strongest person in the Qingtian Realm.

The title of Gao Xuan, the most powerful person, is too popular, and it also attracts too much hatred.

Practitioners and demons with some Taoism are very unconvinced by this title.

Practitioners from all walks of life who participated in the Tianlong Dharma Assembly began to enter Tianlong Island. This statement also caused dissatisfaction among the major sects.

This statement has only spread, but the impact is not big enough.

Gao Xuan was well-known, and even if the major sects were not convinced, no one would dare to challenge him.

Anyway, the Tianlong Dharma Conference is about to be held. In front of the world's powerful people, someone will definitely challenge Gao Xuan and test his weight as the most powerful person.

"The most powerful one?"

Jiang Yuelan was also a little surprised: "Did this Gao Tianshi himself say this to the outside world?"

"That's not true, it's just a rumor."

Bai Sheng said: "However, Master Gao Tianshi has been the most popular recently, so this statement makes sense."

"Oh, I don't know. Senior Brother Bai, please tell me."

Jiang Xiaowei likes excitement the most, but their master is very strict, so she has no chance to hear such gossip.

"This matter is a bit complicated. I have to start from the beginning to make it clear..."

Bai Sheng thought for a moment and said: "Gao Xuan is a Heavenly Master of Heavenly Court. He was sent by Heavenly Court to Wuyuan Kingdom in the northern state, where he had conflicts with the Buddhists and the Dragon Clan. As a result, this Master Gao Xuan destroyed Beihai Longting and the Buddhist clan. The strong..."

After all, the northern states are too far apart. Bai Sheng originally didn't know much about these things. He couldn't stand the propaganda every day. After hearing more, he naturally knew a lot of details.

As for whether these details are true, Bai Sheng is not sure. However, this kind of small talk does not have to be taken too seriously.

Everyone has heard of it more or less, but they don't understand it in such detail as Bai Sheng.

After hearing Bai Sheng explain it in detail, everyone listened with interest.

Jiang Xiaowei said with some fascination: "Speaking of which, Master Gao Tian is really powerful."

She thought for a moment and then asked: "It is said that Master Gao Tian has an unparalleled grace and elegance. I don't know if it is true or not?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Bai Sheng also shook his head: "I haven't seen this person in person, so it's hard to say more."

Bai Sheng added: "I heard that Master Gao Tian also killed the Third Prince of Donghai and the Tenth Prince Ao Shibi..."

"ah?"

Jiang Xiaowei was surprised: "No way?"

Donghai Longting has always been the overlord of the eastern states. Although Buddhism is ambitious, it does not dare to be rude to Donghai Longting.

Not to mention the Taoist sect, the numerous sects of the Taoist sect are like a piece of loose sand. He is obviously stronger than Buddhism, but he is pressed and rubbed by Buddhism. He was even more respectful to Donghai Longting.

Practitioners who had never heard of this incident were very shocked.

Forget about Gao Xuan running rampant in the northern states. Compared with the remote northern states, the dragon clan and Buddhist clan must be weak, so they would be brutally tortured by Gao Xuan.

The East China Sea Dragon Court is so powerful, it is simply the imperial court of the eastern state. The Dragon King of the East China Sea is the emperor of the Eastern State.

Gao Xuan actually dared to kill the third prince of Donghai Longting. In the eyes of many Taoist practitioners, he was simply crazy?

Jiang Xiaowei asked another question that everyone was very concerned about: "Then what?"

"There is no more. It is said that Donghai Longting sent someone to come and apologize to Master Gao Tian. The matter ends here."

Bai Sheng said.

Everyone was stunned. Jiang Xiaowei opened her mouth even more: "No way? Can you bear this?"

Donghai Longting is somewhat domineering to the outside world. Not to mention killing the dragon clan, even accidentally killing the demon clan under the East China Sea Dragon Court would be a problem.

Because Donghai Longting is in charge of all waters in the eastern state, all the major sects have had conflicts with Donghai Longting because of this matter.

Donghai Longting always behaves very arrogantly and is simply unreasonable.

All major sects are also suffering deeply, but there is nothing they can do. After all, the East China Sea Dragon Court is powerful, and even if the major sects are united, let alone not being united, they may not be able to defeat each other.

The major sects have endured their anger for so long, and have become accustomed to giving in to East China Sea Longting.

Suddenly they heard that someone dared to confront Donghai Longting, but Donghai Longting did not dare to say a word. Everyone was a little unbelievable.

Bai Sheng nodded with certainty and said: "Yes, that is the fact. There are many sources of information on this matter, and it can be confirmed that it is true."

He paused and said: "That's why Gao Xuan has the title of No. 1 in the world."

"This is amazing."

Jiang Xiaowei's eyes sparkled and she was full of curiosity about Gao Xuan. She wished she could see Gao Xuan now.

Jiang Xiaowei said to Bai Sheng: "Tianshi can be considered a member of our Taoist sect. Why don't we go to visit Master Gao together?"

Bai Sheng was a little hesitant: "We have never met Master Gao Tian, ​​so wouldn't it be too rude to visit us rashly?"

He was very curious about Gao Xuan, but he didn't want to visit him.

Gao Xuan is so famous now, there must be someone behind him who is adding fuel to the fire. The key is that Gao Xuan has offended Donghai Longting and Buddhism. I am afraid that Gao Xuan will not be able to leave this Tianlong Dharma Assembly alive...

This is also the judgment of most practitioners. After offending the two most powerful forces in the eastern state, no one can escape unscathed.

It would never be a good thing to have a relationship with Gao Xuan at this time.

Other cultivators also had this realization and rejected Jiang Xiaowei's proposal. This made Jiang Xiaowei a little disappointed.

When the tea party was over, Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Xiaowei returned to Zizhuyuan where they lived, and Jiang Xiaowei told their master Jiang Yumei about the matter.

Jiang Yumei sighed softly: "This Tianlong Dharma Assembly is really turbulent and undercurrent. Remember not to cause trouble. Especially stay away from Master Gao Tian!"

"Why, Master?"

Jiang Xiaowei was puzzled: "Master Gao Tian is so powerful and close to our Taoist sect. With this opportunity, we can gather our strength to deal with the East China Sea Dragon Clan and the Buddhist sect..."

To her, this was a godsend.

The Taoist sect is all in disarray, just because no one can convince the crowd and no one can take charge of the overall situation. Only then were they suppressed by Buddhism and the East China Sea Dragon Clan.

With Gao Xuan taking the lead, he can completely overthrow Buddhism and Donghai Longting in one fell swoop. From now on, Taoism can be proud and proud, no longer needing to rely on others.

Jiang Yumei glared at Jiang Xiaowei coldly: "Childish. It's not that easy."

Jiang Xiaowei was a little unconvinced, it wasn't that complicated in the first place.

Jiang Yumei sighed helplessly: "I've also heard about this, and it's obvious that there's someone behind it. Both Buddhism and Donghai Longting are holding back their strength and preparing to kill Gao Xuan. We just have to watch."

"Why don't we help?" Jiang Xiaowei asked.

"Why are you helping me? I really thought he was one of our own family members because he was close to the Taoist sect. The entire Taoist sect is in chaos."

Jiang Yumei's face sank: "You should immediately go into seclusion and practice. You will not come out without my order."

Jiang Xiaowei's face was full of grievances, Jiang Yuelan shook her head slightly and waved her hands, indicating that she would be obedient.

There was no other way, Jiang Xiaowei could only bow obediently and go to retreat.

After Jiang Xiaowei left, Jiang Yumei said to Jiang Yuelan, "Yuelan, is it possible that Gao Xuan is your old friend?"

Jiang Yuelan was the reincarnation of a powerful man from the upper realm. Although Jiang Yumei was the master, she did not dare to be rude to him.

Jiang Yuelan thought for a moment and shook her head: "My memory of my previous life is very blurry, and I don't remember this person at all."

"That's it..."

Jiang Yumei pondered for a moment and said, "Then don't worry about Gao Xuan's affairs. To the fairy world, Qingtian Realm is nothing more than a quagmire pond. There is no need to waste energy here, let alone toss here.

"In this Tianlong Dharma Assembly, you only need to watch and listen more, gain experience and lay a solid foundation. Don't worry about other things."

Jiang Yuelan nodded slightly. Although she had an idea, seeing that Jiang Yumei was so cautious, she couldn't say much.

This man was extremely kind to her and did his best to help her improve her cultivation. Although her cultivation is strong now, she is not yet capable of sweeping across the Qingtian Realm, so she doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

However, she still felt that the impact of this incident would be huge.

The major sects of the Taoist sect just want to watch the excitement and then take advantage of it. This plan is very light, and things will not be that simple.

In the Eastern State, there are not only Taoism and Buddhism, but also the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Demon Sect. Although these forces are not as good as the Taoism and Buddhism, they are not much different.

Without the variable Gao Xuan, the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Demon Sect would probably go crazy with joy. It is even possible to secretly collude with Gao Xuan.

All in all, Daomen's mentality of just standing aside and watching the excitement will not succeed in itself.

Jiang Yuelan didn't care much at all. She just wanted to consolidate her foundation and survive the twelve heavenly tribulations before she went to the upper world to experience it. After all, these things in Qingtian Realm are trivial and not worth paying attention to.

Just as Jiang Yuelan expected, the Demon Sect had already approached Gao Xuan.

A young girl in green clothes stood in front of Gao Xuan and bowed, "Qing Ye of the Heavenly Demon Sect pays homage to the Heavenly Master."

The girl in green clothes has picturesque eyebrows and a simple blue sword suit, which makes her slim and graceful figure, which makes people instinctively feel happy.

Her eyes are innocent but also a little cunning and coquettish. This complex and somewhat contradictory look makes her full of charm.

Gao Xuan looked at Qingye and was very curious about this young girl. The Demon Sect has a long heritage and strong strength.

However, the Demonic Sect, the Taoist Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and the Heavenly Sect have always been mortal enemies.

This beautiful girl from the Demon Sect actually dared to run in front of him and flatter her. That's very courageous.

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill demons when you come to your door?"

Qingye bowed his head respectfully and said, "Young lady, let the Heavenly Master dispose of you, and you will never dare to be disrespectful."

She paused for a moment and then said softly: "However, the little girl wants to say a few words to the Heavenly Master before he gives up."

"Tell me about it." Gao Xuan didn't care. He also wanted to hear what the Demon Sect was up to.

"Donghai Longting and Buddhism are secretly planning to deal with the Celestial Master. The Dao Sect is a group of people who are cowardly, incompetent, greedy and despicable. Only our Tianmo Sect can help you."

Although Aoba's posture is low, he is very calm and calm, and his speech is clear and convincing.

Gao Xuan smiled again: "Then how can you help me?"

Qingye raised his head and smiled charmingly at Gao Xuan: "As long as the Heavenly Master allows it, our sect will immediately offer a treasure that is enough to allow the Heavenly Master to control the Qingtian Realm..."
