Chapter 330: Compensation

330. Chapter 330 Compensation

After receiving the news, Yang Chun hurried over.

Seeing several corpses in the corridor, his complexion turned extremely grim.

These people were basically seven-level and eight-level Force Warriors, and they were all killed, even in their own headquarters.

Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes scanning the crowd at high speed; upon seeing Jiang Cheng, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

After finally calming everyone down and having the scene cleaned, Yang Chun finally found a chance to speak with Jiang Cheng.

"Little brother, you aren't injured, are you?"

"I'm fine, thanks to the treasure my older brother gave me," Jiang Cheng said with a wry smile, "Otherwise, by now I'd already be a headless corpse."

To be honest, even now his heart still trembles.

If he hadn't been somewhat vigilant to begin with, he wouldn't have noticed the leader's man's strange gaze, nor could he have activated the Tianluo Umbrella immediately.

"Dawn Society, you have gone too far!"

It would have been tolerable if it had happened only once before.

But this time, the opponent broke directly into the Refining Alchemy room and killed several people.

"Don't worry, three ninth-level have already been sent to hunt him down; even if they can't kill him, they'll at least strip a few layers off that guy!"

Yang Chun said resentfully.

"That would naturally be the best."

Jiang Cheng nodded and then asked, "Brother Yang, do you know how he managed to slip in?"

"How did he get in?"

Yang Chun was startled.

Indeed.

To enter here without his permission is almost impossible, even if the intruder is a Grandmaster.

"Do you mean there's a spy?"

"Brother Yang, I've already asked on your behalf."

Jiang Cheng recounted the earlier man's abnormal behavior.

"After that assassin fled, I learned from that man's mouth that the assassin was the newcomer you mentioned to me over the phone, Ge Xiaotian."

"!"

Yang Chun's complexion turned instantly pale, and he staggered back two steps with a thudding sound.

The assassin, actually, actually him? "Is it true?"

His voice trembled as he asked.

"I've already had them keep an eye on him; you can go ask later."

"Alright, I'll interrogate them when I get back."

Yang Chun nodded repeatedly.

Just as he turned around, his body froze.

"Brother Jiang, I'm truly sorry; I bear great responsibility for this matter."

"Brother Yang, you're being modest; this has nothing to do with you, it's my issue."

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"I knew those Dawn Society people wouldn't let me off that easily; the facts prove it. Even though today's assassination mission failed, they'll have another, and another after that. Brother, you don't need to take it to heart."

Having said that, he took a deep breath.

If the first assassination was within his expectations.

This assassination truly angered him.

Just imagine, if he had been a little careless, he would already be a corpse on the ground now. So, once he becomes a Grandmaster, the first thing he'll do is eradicate the Dawn Society! Any assassin from the Dawn Society who blocks him will be killed without mercy!

"No, little brother, you've misunderstood me, sigh!" Yang Chun's face showed shame.

"It must have been me leaking a bit of information to him, which let him follow the trail to you."

"?"

Jiang Cheng was startled and looked at him.

"It's like this..."

Yang Chun gritted his teeth and recounted the whole incident.

"Actually, after I said that sentence I felt some regret, but it was already too late. I still clung to a bit of luck, thinking such a coincidence couldn't happen, yet... brother, I really owe you an apology. If you want to scold me, go ahead; you can even hit me, I won't retaliate."

Jiang Cheng, hearing this, didn't know what to say.

After thinking, he sighed again and said, "Fine, Brother Yang, I know you didn't do it on purpose, and if it weren't for the treasure you borrowed for me from the supervisor back then, I'd be dead now. Fine, that's enough."

In this case, the mastermind is the Dawn Society.

Yang Chun didn't intend it, and lately he has been taking good care of him.

"Little brother, this is my fault. So, if later you need anything from me, as long as it doesn't violate Black Market regulations, I can agree to help you."

Yang Chun quickly replied.

The more Jiang Cheng said that, the more he felt uneasy.

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment after hearing that.

"Brother, since you say that, I actually have something I'd like you to help with."

"What is it, little brother? Speak quickly! Speak quickly!"

Yang Chun was extremely agitated.

"Here's the thing, brother: I have two Visualization Methods in my possession. One is the Lotus Visualization Method, which is complete and even has a Visualization Diagram. The other is the Gold Bell Visualization Method, which is incomplete; fortunately it has an Introductory Chapter, but lacks a Visualization Diagram. Could you lend me a Gold Bell Visualization Diagram so I can try it out?"

"Gold Bell Visualization Method, huh?"

Yang Chun, however, showed a troubled expression.

"I also practice the Gold Bell Visualization Method, and I have a Visualization Diagram on hand, but junior brother, you're only a Level 2 Spirit Mind Practitioner, right? This Visualization Method is too difficult to cultivate; why don't you start with a lower‑level one? For example, the Flying Flower Visualization Method—although it's a bit pricey, I can plead on your behalf before the supervisor. If that doesn't work, I'll pay out of my own pocket and buy this Cultivation Method for you!"

He gritted his teeth.

This mistake this time was truly huge.

It was a close call; it could have ended without a proper conclusion.

"No, no, no, brother, I just want to borrow a Gold Bell Visualization Diagram to try it out; the rest, even if you give it to me, I won't accept," Jiang Cheng said seriously.

"This, this, junior brother, are you serious?"

Yang Chun felt very embarrassed.

"Isn't this request too simple? 'Very serious.'"

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Alright, a Gold Bell Visualization Diagram costs about two million; I'll pay out of my own pocket and buy it for you as compensation for this incident. Junior brother, rest assured, this kind of thing will never happen a second time. As for the Dawn Society, I'll also inform the supervisor that they must give us an answer on this matter! Junior brother, if you're tired, just rest well today; we'll resume Refining Alchemy tomorrow. I'm off to attend to other matters now, and I'll deliver that Visualization Diagram to you this evening."

As he said so, he offered a few more apologies before hurrying away.

Jiang Cheng also relaxed a little.

This time, although there were many scares, there were also some gains; at least the Gold Bell Visualization Method is now in hand.

If this Visualization Method is cultivated to the Perfect Realm, one can become a Level 10 Spirit Mind Practitioner and it would be equivalent to carrying a third‑grade top‑tier treasure, whose defensive effect is stronger than the Tianluo Umbrella in hand.

However, reaching that step is not easy.

At the very least, one must also raise the skill of the Calming Pill to the Perfect Realm, right?

"Dawn Society, wait for it."

A cold flash flickered in Jiang Cheng's eyes. (End of chapter)
