Chapter 14 Undercurrent

Chapter 14 Undercurrent
"Jiang, are you okay?"

Lan Qushang arrived very quickly. After all, they were only one street away, and the might of the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar was so great that he was next to Jiang Yi in almost the next moment. As Elder Tong, who was guarding Fengdusai from the Mengshen Sect, he was only one step slower than Lan Qushang.

As more and more experts came over, there were the first-class warriors of the Dream God Sect who were guarding the shops, and the strong men patrolling the city from the Ruyi Sect...

"It's okay!" He took back the Heavenly Fire Pillar, the fire dragon disappeared, and Jiang Yi, who was surrounded by flames, walked out of the sea of ​​fire, and the sea of ​​fire dissipated.

Under the trapping effect of the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar, those killers were turned into dust without even the ability to move. The Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar seemed to be extremely powerful, but if it couldn't trap the enemy, it was hard to say how effective it would be. This was just like when he was sparring with Jiang's father on the mountain.

"It happened so suddenly, I don't know if I have hurt any innocent people." Jiang Yi didn't think about it any more. He just responded by reflex, so he used his strongest method. Although he subconsciously restrained himself, the Sky-reaching Divine Fire Pillar blocked half of the street, and even the shops on both sides of the road collapsed. How would this end...

"Don't worry, I will take care of it. You can go back to Yaoyue Tower with Deputy Hall Master Lan first." Elder Tong, who was riding on the Moon Lion, glanced at the eight treasures that were gradually shrinking and finally sank into Jiang Yi's body.

Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise he would not dare to return to Mengshen Sect in the future. Jiang Mingde's son would die on his territory, and when he returned to Mengshen Sect to report on his work, he would probably die inexplicably. The power of the Lord of the North Tower is no joke, and Jiang Mingde's strength alone is beyond his reach.

"Yes, let Elder Tong handle this, and you come back with me." Lan Qushang was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that the spy lurking in Fengdusai would be so crazy that he dared to take action in broad daylight in a bustling commercial street.

What Lan Qushang couldn't understand the most was why he wanted to kill Jiang Yi? Although Jiang Yi's status was not low, there was no point in killing him! Lurking behind enemy lines was not so easy. It was not easy to train death squads and develop subordinates. Every chess piece could play a vital role at a critical moment. Such a waste was like throwing decades of hard work into the water, and there was no sound.

What exactly are these spies for? The current situation in Fengdusai is simply incomprehensible. The other party has invested so much power just to make Fengdusai panic? Regardless of the outcome, after this, the arrangements made by the two worlds in Fengdusai for many years will be destroyed in one day.

Fortunately, Jiang Mingde armed his peculiar son well, otherwise it would be hard to say what would happen today.

Back at Yaoyue Tower, all the other disciples who were out wandering were called back. Lan Qushang was a little confused about the situation in Fengdusai. His mission this time was to celebrate the birthday of Lu Clan, and more importantly, to protect the sensitive little guys in the team, so he did not plan to stay in Fengdusai for five days as originally planned.

"Everyone, get ready. We will set off for Jueshui City early tomorrow morning. Before that, everyone should stay in Yaoyue Tower and don't go out."

"Why?"

There were not many disciples who would continue to the last stop, Jueshui City, and they did not know about Jiang Yi's assassination.

Fengdusai is definitely the most prosperous city in Shunzhou. Even though it is in a semi-closed state, there are still many places to visit. These are undoubtedly the greatest temptation for the disciples who are going down the mountain for the first time.

"No reason, just follow my orders!" Lan Qushang said coldly without explaining. Before setting off, he had some things to deal with, and that person seemed to be able to...

Jiang Yi returned to his room silently. He had gained two merit points from the previous battle, which made him a little unsure.

There are two types of spies in Chongming Realm. One type comes from across the realm, and waits until the mark of the world will on their bodies is completely worn off before trying to obtain a legal identity and lurking. They are completely from another world. The other type is the subordinates developed by spies from another world, who are controlled through various means of seduction and bewitching, or even simply adopted orphans, who are from Chongming Realm.

Does killing all alien spies bring merit, or does killing only aliens bring merit? It should be the latter.

Because he killed twelve people, three of whom had strong murderous intentions towards him, but the two merits he gained came from one person, which is very telling.

Could this be the real reason why the three realms have been at war for thousands of years? Can others also gain merit by killing enemies from other realms?

Merit is a good thing. It can not only help with cultivation, but also avoid disasters, refine elixirs and weapons, and even enhance one's own luck. It can be called a panacea. Even if it can't be used to exchange for spiritual treasures like him, it is enough to drive people crazy. This is a shortcut to heaven! I don't know if Lin Xiao knows this. I'll ask him when I have a chance.

Now that he had a way to earn merit, he could finally set his sights on those high-level spiritual treasures. God had mercy on him, he had originally thought that this broken system would never allow him to reproduce those treasures, but now he finally had some hope.

But why did those spies from other worlds want to assassinate him?

Vendetta?

That's impossible. He has never left Shuangta Mountain, and even in the sect he rarely goes out. He has never made enemies with anyone.

Lao Jiang’s enemy?
But even if he was Lao Jiang's enemy, he should have looked for the famous Erwa Jiang Bai. What's the point of assassinating him, a well-known insignificant person, other than alerting the enemy?
Early the next morning, the Leihu flying boat once again flew into the Qingming and headed towards Jueshui City.

……

The assassination of a high-ranking descendant of the Mengshen Sect in a downtown area completely detonated the undercurrent in Fengdusai, and made the Ruyi Sect determined to investigate everyone in Fengdusai one by one, even at the cost of offending some people.

Today it is the Mengshen Sect, tomorrow it could be the Sansheng Sect, the Lieyang Sect, or the Zunwang Mountain... The noble sons and daughters of the ten sects are going to die in Fengdusai. They can still explain one or two, but if it happens too many, it will be useless even if they can explain.

Fengdusai implemented a semi-lockdown of the city. Not only were the people in the city checked one by one, but also the people entering and leaving. The Ruyi Sect even resorted to using the sect's most precious treasure, the [Ruyi Mirror].

At the same time, Elder Tong, who was in charge of the final battle on the street, was also in a great headache. Jiang Yi used his treasure to burn people into powder, but he was still able to confirm that there were a total of twelve dead people. The most important thing was that people were dead, and even the Ruyi Mirror could not determine whether these people had problems.

With the help of Ruyi Sect, the identities of these twelve people were quickly confirmed. Nine of them were from second-rate sects or families, and the two were from first-rate sects. They all lived in Fengdusai all year round. At most, they would have to pay some money, or even be directly blamed. It wouldn't be a problem, but the last one was a disciple of Mingshen Sect.

The Dark God Sect is located in Yuzhou, south of Dongzhou, and is close to the Dream God Sect. They are both in the top ten sects and neighbors. There are usually a lot of frictions between the two sects, and there are also some historical grievances. It is useless to use force or put the blame on these guys who are full of death. You can only slowly argue, and in the end, there will definitely be some bloodshed.

Shortly after Leihu Flying Boat left, in a secret room.

A blurry figure sat in front of a desk, writing stroke by stroke on a piece of special paper in the dim candlelight. Finally, he lit the filled paper in the candlelight. Mysterious symbols flew out from the ashes and disappeared into the void, silently.

The blurry figure leaned on the chair, tapping the armrest lightly with his right hand.

"It's really interesting. The Jiang family is treating everyone as fools! Although there are treasures to cover up the aura, that feeling..."

"Haha, I didn't expect it! It was just a move made on a whim, but it turned out to be like this."

"However, does the Jiang family, with its small population, need to be so low-key?"

"What a pity! What a pity!"
