Chapter 311: The Kind Daoist

Soon, upon receiving the news, Yang Chun led his men here.

Seeing the two corpses at the scene, a shadow flickered in his eyes.

The people around didn't know what was happening, but he could guess with his toes that these were definitely assassins sent by the Dawn Society! Yet such matters must not be told to those nearby—both to avoid panic and out of consideration for Jiang Cheng.

After all, if others learned of it, it would be because of the latter that the Dawn Society's assassins were attracted, and such incidents might recur, so it would be strange not to have grievances against Jiang Cheng.

Therefore, he repeatedly promised to investigate the matter, evacuated the crowd, then left with the corpses; Jiang Cheng and Wan Jianfeng, being the parties involved, naturally followed behind him.

After waiting a while in a room, footsteps echoed in the hallway outside, and the door was pushed open from outside as Yang Chun strode in.

"Brother Yang, sorry."

Jiang Cheng quickly replied.

"This doesn't concern you."

Yang Chun waved his hand, sat on the chair opposite Jiang Cheng, and said, "You're also a victim in this, and we're all comrades; saying that is being distant. By the way, let me show you something."

He placed a small white stone on the table before Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng examined it curiously, then picked it up and found it was still warm.

"This is a sensing stone."

Yang Chun explained, "It should contain your aura, crafted from items you regularly use. When it gets close to you it reacts, the nearer, the stronger the reaction; those two assassins likely used this to lock onto you."

"No wonder."

Jiang Cheng gave a wry smile.

Out of caution.

He changed his name and kept wearing the Human Skin Mask.

Yet the other side could still recognize him.

Immediately, he thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yang, is there a way to block this sensing?"

Since the Dawn Society can create a sensor to locate him,

they should also be able to make one to find his family.

"It's not difficult, and such a thing is already available right now."

Under Jiang Cheng's puzzled gaze, he produced another palm-sized blue talisman.

"This is a high-grade suppressing talisman, a Third-grade talisman. Wearing it and activating it makes even a Ten-level Spirit Thought Master finding your presence difficult. Carrying this will block the sensing stone's detection, which is a piece of cake."

"Third, Third-grade talisman?"

Jiang Cheng was startled.

He felt a bit embarrassed.

"Brother Yang, isn't this thing too valuable? A Third-grade talisman must cost tens or hundreds of millions at least, right?"

Hearing Jiang Cheng say that, Yang Chun's face showed a satisfied smile.

"It does cost a lot, and though its price can't match those used directly in combat, it is, in fact, your loot."

"It's my loot?"

Jiang Cheng was taken aback.

He immediately recalled the person he had killed.

Could it be? "Exactly, it's him."

Yang Chun nodded slightly.

"This was retrieved from his body, together with that sensing stone. As long as you wear this, you won't have to worry about them finding you again. Another person's body also yielded one, but since it was taken by someone else, I gave it to the other side, hoping you understand."

In fact, when he retrieved this suppressing talisman, he also entertained the thought of keeping it for himself.

After all, it's a high-grade suppressing talisman and could fetch a good price, but upon reflection it seemed improper.

Because of this, it would be impossible to hide from the other party involved, Wan Jianfeng, who now probably wants to know what's going on. If he dared to hint at secrecy, given his status, would it be worth risking his reputation for such a trivial item? Moreover, there are no airtight walls in this world; to keep something unknown to others, one must simply not do it.

And Jiang Cheng doesn't know now; after a few months he might realize, and then resentment would inevitably arise.

Thus, there's no need to jeopardize their relationship over a trivial gain; giving him this actually can strengthen their bond.

Sure enough, Jiang Cheng's face showed moved emotion.

"Of course, but Brother Yang, are you really going to give this to me?"

He admitted that his current reaction had an element of acting.

But Yang Chun's action was still very genuine; after all, he hadn't had time to search bodies when a crowd arrived, and if he had hidden it later, there would have been nothing he could do.

"Brother Jiang, what nonsense are you saying? This is already yours."

Yang Chun smiled and shook his head.

"As for your family, I'll have some talismans sent over. Though their effect isn't as strong as the one you have, they'll suffice to block the sensing stone, and as long as they stay obediently in the Central Area, nothing will happen."

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

Jiang Cheng expressed gratitude again.

"Hehe, it's nothing; I was careless this time. If you hadn't advanced to Level 6, it would have been far more perilous."

He said this while giving Jiang Cheng a meaningfully lingering glance.

"Lucky, lucky."

Jiang Cheng laughed.

He claimed to be a Level 6 Original Force Warrior, which actually makes sense.

After all, that assassin underestimated his strength, not using full force at first; the later high-grade Vajra Talisman could only block a full strike from a Level 6 Original Force Warrior.

But since the lone wolf and Wan Jianfeng would make reasonable guesses, Yang Chun naturally would too, just not wanting to reveal them.

"Alright, Brother Jiang, it's getting late; you should go rest. After this, I'll report upward to request stronger protection for you, and regarding the Dawn Society, I'll talk to Bing Li about it."

"Really?"

Jiang Cheng's face showed a delighted expression.

"Heh heh heh, of course."

Yang Chun laughed heartily, because tonight's events made Jiang Cheng's standing in his mind a bit heavier, as he thought the former was most likely above Six-level.

"Alright, then I'll be going now, thanks, Brother Yang."

Jiang Cheng slipped the calming talisman into his pocket and walked out of the room.

No wonder he couldn't sense the hostility of those two assassins before; it turns out this thing was at work.

With this thing, the coming situation should be much safer, right? Though he wondered whether the Dawn Society would give up so easily; this time they sent a Six-level and a Seven-level, neither could kill him. If there is no next time, that's fine; but if there is, the assassins' strength could be Eight-level, Ninth Level.

"Placing all hope in others is not advisable; one must also strive oneself. From now on, must focus on cultivating the Shadowless Heart Sutra."

He thought to himself.

First raise his strength to Eight-level, then speak; by then, even if he can't win, there will be a chance to escape.
