A famed assassin organization, feared by all in the martial world, with ancient roots, and alongside the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, known as the “Two Towers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same kind of person?” The old shopkeeper of Chizhou hesitated, then fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the “Three Sects, Six Schools, Eight Heroes,” there was the “Two Towers”—Heavenly Mechanism and Green Robe!

As expected, Xiao Ying died recently—she was an assassin from the Green Robe Tower in disguise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a primordial powerhouse helped conceal her form—so thoroughly that even I was fooled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Xiuyun, this has nothing to do with you—why are you so afraid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qing paused, thoughtful, as if something occurred to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, like many in the martial world, was deeply curious about this sudden newcomer to the Dragon Phoenix List’s fourth rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding smiled faintly and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this man before him? A name known across the land—previously targeted by the Wolf God Cult and the Zhendong Marquis’s mansion, both attempting to capture him alive; he not only killed their enemies but captured them before they could commit suicide, delivering them to the Green Ox Palace’s primordial elders for interrogation, uncovering the truth behind the plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Liu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Chen Xi, who could hide in the imperial palace, her plan was to find a secluded place and lie low for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving all instructions, just as Long Xiuyun was about to leave, the old shopkeeper of Chizhou rushed in and handed her a gold plaque: “Miss, a Tian-grade guest has arrived. By trading house rules, the highest-ranking member must receive them personally—what is your instruction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back then, when Wan You was merely humiliated, she stormed the Golden Knife Gate and nearly killed the Golden Knife Ancestor; now, Heihei , her only son is dead…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qing bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hundred-year ginseng… we don’t sell it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she called him Seventh Uncle, he knew his place—he was merely a collateral branch of the Long clan; the Four Seas Trading House ultimately answered to the main lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiuyun noticed she was still standing and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gold plaque signifies the highest-tier guest of the Four Seas Trading House—either a primordial powerhouse or one destined to become one; even her father here would have to treat such a guest with utmost seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qing’s expression turned serious. Even with all his pride, he knew he could do nothing against an insane primordial powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask which sect you hail from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old shopkeeper’s face paled; he frantically signaled and whispered urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am merely a wandering cultivator, with no master.” Jiang Ding’s expression darkened; he rose and bowed politely: “If your trading house does not carry what I seek, then I shall take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he ignored the old shopkeeper’s attempts to detain him and departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-20T23:34:14.007Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","107407234390d141992f18b5908dbde30b2f5b128eaea3b0acb77442eac57a81","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-84","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-82",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-cover.jpg"]
