NOVEL WEB Chapter 190
"What?"
The gray-clothed Saint suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a knife, piercing the heart of the man in black.
An ominous premonition rose in his heart, and his voice was terribly low:
"You mean... Wei Qianxun is dead?"
"I dare not hide it!"
The man in black felt the murderous intent emanating from the Saint, and his body could not help but tremble.
"This is the latest intelligence our people have obtained...
In the past month or so, many innate great monsters in Chongshan County have suddenly died inexplicably.
Our people went to investigate, but accidentally found the remains of a innate corpse king in the depths of the Congyun Mountains..."
He swallowed hard and lowered his voice:
"Although the body is no longer intact, judging from the remaining breath at the scene, it should be Wei Qianxun."
"We infer that Lord Wei Qianxun may have encountered the mysterious strong man who recently hunted innate great monsters in Chongshan County when he met the innate monster, and was... killed by him..."
"Waste! All waste!"
The gray-clothed saint was furious and smashed the stone table beside him with one palm.
The stone chips flew everywhere, just like his messy mood at this time.
Although he always looked down on Wei Qianxun's trashy qualifications, that guy was a genuine innate middle-level corpse king after all, with extremely tenacious vitality.
With his strength, even if he is really defeated, he should not have no chance to escape, right?
"Who is it? Who did it?!"
The gray-robed Saint Envoy gnashed his teeth and asked word by word.
"Reporting to the Saint Envoy, according to our investigation, the one who killed Master Wei Qianxun is most likely the 'mysterious strongman' who killed Xue Dingshan some time ago."
The man in black answered tremblingly:
"For more than a month, the mysterious strongman has been hunting down the great monsters in the innate realm in Chongshan County.
His methods are so cruel that those monsters are frightened, and some even fled Chongshan County directly, not to mention assisting the next plan of the Saint Church..."
"According to the latest news, the mysterious strongman returned to Tieyun City five days ago and has not left yet. It seems that he is resting here.
Our people have been secretly monitoring, but...but the strongman's divine consciousness is too powerful. We dare not get too close to avoid alerting the enemy..."
"..."
The underground palace fell into a deathly silence.
The gray-robed Saint Envoy's face was extremely ugly, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and then he suddenly laughed up to the sky, his laughter was full of anger and madness.
"Hahahaha... Good! Good! Good!"
He said three good words in a row, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of deep hatred.
That damned evil star, it would be fine if he killed Wei Qianxun, but he dared to stay in Tieyun City without leaving?
Is this a provocation to him? Or is he going to destroy the next blood sacrifice ceremony of the Holy Church? !
Why? Why is everything against him? !
Everything is obviously under control, how come it suddenly becomes like this? !
The gray-robed Saint Envoy fell on the cold stone chair, his face terribly gloomy.
After a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence from his teeth:
"You go down first, act according to the plan, cause some trouble to the Demon Suppression Division, and distract their attention.
As for the mysterious strong man..."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the gray-robed Saint Envoy, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue:
"Since he dared to ruin the great plan of the Holy Church, he must pay the price in blood!
Pass the order, put him and the 'Blood Qilin' on the must-kill list!
You continue to pay close attention to this person's movements, and report immediately once he leaves Tieyun City!"
"I obey your command!"
The black-robed subordinates turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared without a trace as if they had been pardoned.
In the empty underground palace, only the gray-robed Saint Envoy was left, sitting on a cold chair, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds before the storm.
Dead silence spread in the air for a long time, and then he sighed, took out a bottle of blood wine from the storage bag, raised his head and drank it all.
The sweet and fishy taste spread in the mouth, calming the irritable mood.
The gray-robed saint wiped the blood stains on the corner of his mouth and cast his eyes on a shadow deep in the underground palace.
There, a dark figure had been waiting for a long time.
A pair of black eyes as cold as a knife were looking at him with interest, with a hint of subtle mockery in the calmness.
"Ninth Miss, you have made me suffer!"
The gray-robed saint smiled bitterly and complained to the black shadow:
"If you had successfully assassinated the disciple guarding Chongshan County, there would not be so many troubles!"
"Humph, you still have the nerve to blame me?"
The black shadow snorted coldly, the sound was cold, like ice beads falling on a jade plate,It was the ninth destiny of the Evil King Pavilion.
"That little girl was carrying a treasure, and she was able to resist the attack of a strong man in the Spirit Sea Realm. It was understandable that I failed."
She paused, with a hint of impatience in her tone:
"What should we do now? Your demon ally of the Rebirth Sect is gone, and the Demon Suppression Division may target Tieyun City at any time.
Are you going to give up the blood sacrifice ceremony of the Rebirth Sect this time?"
"Give up? Absolutely not!"
The gray-robed saint envoy flatly refused, his eyes were particularly gloomy:
"The arrow is on the string, and it must be shot! Not only can we not give up Abandon, and act in advance!
The blood sacrifice ceremony will be held at night three days later!"
Seeing the strange expression on the face of the Ninth Destiny, he quickly added:
"Don't worry, Miss Nine, our Holy Church has secretly laid out this Tieyun City three years ago.
As long as there is no Venerable in the Spiritual Sea Realm to interfere, the blood sacrifice ceremony will definitely be completed smoothly. It's just a matter of winning more or less."
Listening to the other party's confident words, the Ninth Destiny had doubts in his heart, but he could only nod in agreement.
"The demon allies of the Holy Church are gone, and even without the help of those innate great demons, the innate masters in Tieyun City can't cause any trouble."
The gray-robed Holy Envoy sneered, then changed the subject and said faintly:
"The only variable that needs to be feared is the 'mysterious strong man' who killed Xue Dingshan and Wei Qianxun."
The young man's tone was grim, and his eyes swept to the figure shrouded in darkness:
"If he has left Tieyun City, let him live for the time being. If he is still..."
"I know " said.
The Ninth Destiny interrupted him, his eyes cold:
"Before you, the Rebirth Sect, take action, I will take his life with my own hands!"
"Okay! With Ninth Miss's words, I feel relieved."
The Gray-robed Saint smiled for the first time in a long time, and then seemed to remember something, and added:
"By the way, Ninth Miss, I have a gift for you."
After that, he stood up and walked in front of the black shadow, flipped his palm, and a strange blood-red light suddenly lit up, illuminating the dim underground palace.
It was a bead the size of a longan, as if it was condensed from the blood of countless creatures, emitting a heart-pounding scarlet light, and in the distance, it seemed that the wailing of countless resentful souls could be heard.
"What is this?"
The Ninth Destiny's pair of black eyes reflected the blood light, and she couldn't help but frowned slightly.
For some reason, she, the top killer of the Evil King Pavilion, actually felt an extremely dangerous breath from this blood-colored bead.
"This is the [Blood Soul Orb], a treasure I begged from an old friend of the 'Blood God Sect'."
The Gray-robed Saint explained with a smile:
"That mysterious strong man is extraordinary. You have an extra trump card with this item."
He handed over the Blood Soul Orb in his hand and added:
"With your living body, it is impossible to exert the full power of the 'Impermanence Ghost Lock', let alone use this treasure to ascend to the Spiritual Sea.
Since you are unwilling to join my Holy Church, you can only rely on the power of external objects. This Blood Soul Orb is a good choice."
"..."
The Ninth Destiny was originally proud of her own strength and did not intend to accept this evil object of unknown origin.
But when she heard that the "Blood Soul Orb" could help her ascend to the Spiritual Sea and completely control the Impermanence Ghost Lock, she was suddenly moved.
After thinking for a moment, she finally reached out and took it.
The Gray-robed Saint looked at this scene, and the smile on his face became more "brilliant".
