NOVEL WEB Chapter 134: Hired Assassin
After the people of the Jiang Family went back, half a month passed.
Just as Qin Chuan imagined.
The Jiang Family laid low.
Perhaps the Jiang Family Emperor saw his strength and couldn't grasp his depth, so he dared not act rashly.
Moreover, there wasn't any need.
Because so far, there was no evidence to prove Jiang Shennong was killed by Qin Zi, so the Jiang Family Emperor had no excuse to act.
Small people can act without any scruples, but big figures need to care about their reputation.
After all, once a person reaches a certain level, lacking nothing else, what they care about is simply some dignity.
This matter temporarily came to an end.
As for Qin Chuan, he began another operation.
"Ding! Congratulations, you've used 0.1 Lu Chong to purchase an auxiliary tool—the Mysterious Black Cloak."
"Note: This treasure can completely conceal one's aura and power fluctuation, even your closest person cannot recognize you. As the saying goes, once you wear the cloak, no one will love you! Furthermore, this cloak carries a mysterious aura that will make you appear unfathomable, causing fear in others."
"Applicable range: Below Emperor level."
With the system prompt, a pitch-black cloak appeared out of thin air before Qin Chuan, it was very large, with seemingly countless sand particles on the surface, glistening and giving off a mysterious and grand aura.
Qin Chuan donned the cloak.
Instantly!
His presence changed, becoming grand and mysterious, exuding a cool and mighty aura, unfathomable.
He used the Law of Water to form a Water Mirror and found the figure in the mirror even he couldn't recognize.
At first glance, even he was startled by that mysterious and icy aura, almost launching an attack.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the effect is really good, truly a must-have kit for home travel, murderers, and thieves."
Qin Chuan praised, not expecting that the voice emerging from the cloak also changed, becoming low and gloomy.
Immediately, he was even more satisfied.
He took off the Mysterious Black Cloak, then walked out of the room, briefly explaining his whereabouts to Qin Zi before leaving.
Qin Zi thought he had some important business, and Qin Zi never asked about things his father didn't mention.
His adopted son always believed that everything his father did was reasonable, without any need for doubt.
Poor Qin Zi.
He didn't know his father was actually going to hire an assassin...
...
After Qin Chuan left Divine Radiance Mountain far behind, he discreetly put on the Mysterious Black Cloak in a hidden corner.
Thus, a mysterious and unfathomable figure was born.
He visited several renowned "Cities of Sin" in the Eastern Domain, intending to find a powerful assassination organization.
Then he was surprised to find that the strength of these assassin organizations was quite ordinary, with the Celestial Saints within the organizations being rare.
But he quickly realized—Celestial Saints have a high status in the Eastern Domain, who would abandon such status to become an assassin?
Being an assassin involves licking the blood off knives, hiding, and constant life-threatening danger, not worth it!
Of course.
There are exceptions to everything.
Some people inherently enjoy taking money to solve others' troubles, finding joy in being assassins, even when their powers grow.
Thus, he found an organization called—Dawn.
This organization, surprisingly, had only one person!!
This old man with the codename "Dawn" was both the leader and the assassin, as well as the front desk.
When Qin Chuan found him, the old man was sleeping on the counter of the black market shop, which was desolate with no customers...
It seemed there hadn't been business in a long time.
The main reason likely being most people don't recognize, can't see that this seemingly ordinary old man, was actually a Six Heavenly Layer Saint!
A Six Heavenly Layer Saint was just so-so to Qin Chuan.
He is now already a Five Heavenly Layer Saint, even if this old man harbore ill intentions toward Qin Zi, his cultivation might not necessarily rise.
Because the system's purpose in increasing his cultivation was to protect his son—at least that's the apparent principle!
And when his actual combat power surpasses the enemy, the system thinks he can solve it, thus it won't help enhance his cultivation.
The actual combat power here refers to brute force, excluding weapons, Divine Techniques, poisons, and other external things.
However!
Even so.
He still spent an eight-grade Elixir to hire this old man because, this time, his goal was indeed not to enhance cultivation...
When the old man heard the target of the assassination was Qin Zi, he hesitated for a moment, after all, he had heard of Qin Chuan's famous name.
And allegedly, half a month ago, even the Jiang Family dreaded approaching Divine Radiance Mountain.
Clearly, Qin Chuan was not to be trifled with!
Now to kill Qin Chuan's son...
"The price has to go up."
Eventually, the old man squeezed out these three words.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan laughed.
"No problem."
...
Qin Chuan returned to Divine Radiance Mountain.
He calculated the time and found that the "My Son Qin Zi Has the Emperor's Mien" main task had already gone halfway.
Need to hurry!
Thus, he drove Qin Zi, who was holed up at home cultivating in retreat and was gradually becoming a "fat cat," out again.
Under the pretext, you can't shut yourself in and build behind closed doors, powerful people emerge through battles; you must go out and train!
Qin Zi thought the same.
He had not gone out for half a month, and now the inheritance and opportunities obtained in the Xuantiangem Treasury were almost digested, it was time to go out and let off some steam.
Thus, he reluctantly waved goodbye to his father, left Divine Radiance Mountain, and once again embarked on a journey of training.
This time, he vowed to capture and defeat all the paragons of the Eastern Domain!
What Ji Xuanyuan, what Qi Huang, what Chu Zhongtian, what Holy Land's Pride, all must bow down at his feet!
He, Qin Zi, must bring glory to his father.
"Father has sacrificed too much for me, I have nothing to repay him with, except to become the number one paragon of the Eastern Domain and make him proud!"
Qin Zi thought as he flew.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a fierce sense of crisis rose, making his scalp tingle abruptly, and every hair on his body stand upright!!
It was as if he triggered his potential, reacting within a billionth of a second, twisting his body abruptly.
Then, he saw a terrifying sword light, like a waterfall, roaring past his body.
"Boom!!!"
He dared not look back, but he heard a violent rumble coming from behind, as if the sky itself was torn apart by that sword light.
The clouds in the sky shattered, light refracted in the sky, and even the sunlight falling down turned into shattered gold, creating a chaotic scene.
At this moment, Qin Zi saw the person wielding the sword—it was an old man wearing a black cloak, veiled, with only a few curls of white hair emerging from the front of the cloak, indicating his age.
"Who are you?! Dare you to kill me? My father is Qin Chuan!" Qin Zi yelled, borrowing the threatening presence of a tiger.
He had gotten used to relying on his father.
Once tasted the sweetness of it, it's hard to stop, like once you start moving your left hand, it's hard to easily stop.
"Hehe, it's you I want to kill, haven't you offended someone, should know yourself?"
The cloaked old man sneered.
"You're from the Jiang Family!!"
Qin Zi's face turned serious, he thought it over, and now the only ones who want to kill and dare to kill him could only be the Jiang Family.
"Hehe, don't guess randomly."
The old man smirked mockingly, seemingly unwilling to admit, yet there was a subtle suggestion of covering up.
"Do you really want to kill me? If you kill me, my father won't let you go! He's much stronger than you can imagine, no one can save you!"
Qin Zi continued to threaten,
Of course, he was actually stalling for time, as his mentor was already silently gathering energy, preparing to unleash a life-saving ace!
