Chapter 307
"My Daoist name is Elder Yu Chen..." Qian Chen introduced himself. He had caused too much of a stir in Guangling Commandery, and his real name, Qian Chen, might have already spread, which was not conducive to his hidden actions, so he temporarily took a Daoist name for himself.
Of course, a Daoist name should have been bestowed by the elders in the sect, but the Louguan Dao sect was all dead. Even if they were still alive, no one would have a higher seniority than him, the master of the sect's spiritual treasure. If the Supreme One hadn't merged with the Dao yet, he would have been qualified to give him a Daoist name.
But Qian Chen thought that the Supreme One would probably have given him a Daoist name like "Ling Zhuzi."
Very unreliable!
He simply took one casually...
He took apart the character "Chen" from his name, changed the character "Sun" to "Jade," so his Daoist name was Elder Yu Chen, meaning the location of the North Star, the pivot of the starry sky.
Zhixia cupped his hands and said: "My name is Zhixia, just a loose cultivator in the world!"
Zhang Huaien also carefully touched over and hid behind Qian Chen and the others, saying: "I am Zhang Huaien!"
The man in Daoist robes cupped his hands in a salute and reported their names one by one. The man in Daoist robes called himself Yuan Hao, the woman beside him was named Du Xiuniang, the short and lewd man was named Gao Hu, the person dressed as a wandering knight was Luo Tong, and the scholar called himself He Fan.
Qian Chen urged: "Staying here to wait for the rabbit is not the best policy. The longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility of pursuers arriving. Therefore, the sooner the hidden dangers are removed, the better!"
The group of reincarnators understood, obviously wanting to test their skills. The shorter the time to complete the mission, the higher the evaluation.
Qian Chen and the others still drew a door on the door, left the cabin, and went straight to the deck in the open area of the building boat. This was a passenger boat, so the deck was quite spacious, especially the fourth floor of the building boat, which was not as narrow as the three floors below.
Several noble family children were with their servants, burning small stoves on the deck, drinking and watching the river scenery.
"What an enjoyment!"
Without needing to hide his identity anymore, Zhang Huaien's foolishness flared up again.
Qian Chen also asked the maid for a place and sat down. He felt a hidden gaze coming from behind and knew it was Yuan Hao's group observing in the dark to see if anyone would show a strange expression after Zhang Huaien appeared.
Although Qian Chen did not use magic spells or spiritual sense, his spiritual perception alone encompassed everyone here. The two old men drinking and having fun beside him had good strength, both were Core Formation True Persons, both dressed as scholars, and their cultivation in their speech was quite good.
They were clearly first-class famous scholars among the noble families.
And at the side of the boat, the noble family children surrounded by a group of servants were very arrogant. Their eyes sweeping over Qian Chen and the others carried a faint contempt. They were dressed luxuriously, and although they were relaxed in their gestures, every move was deeply engraved with etiquette. The two old servants behind them looked to have good strength, but in fact, they were only in the Realm of Penetrating the Law.
Although they might reach Core Formation at any time, even if they took this step, they were only goods of the lower three ranks of Core Formation.
Qian Chen wouldn't even need a finger to kill such characters.
Although there were many servants of those noble family children, Qian Chen glanced at them lightly and didn't see many characters with a foundation, so he didn't take them to heart.
There was another table, which should be the juniors of the two old men, sitting in groups of three or five not far or near the two old men. Their cultivation was also only in the Realm of Penetrating the Law.
There were even two young men and women with childish faces, who had only just achieved Foundation Establishment. The girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old and should be a direct descendant of one of the two old men. She stretched her head out from behind a middle-aged man, her dark eyes rolling around, curiously examining everyone on the deck. Especially the newly arrived Qian Chen, Zhixia, and the three of them.
Finally, there were two loose cultivators in the Realm of Penetrating the Law, each sitting alone in a remote corner of the deck, not mingling with the noble families. One had extremely high cheekbones, a somewhat ferocious face, wore a bone crown, and a cloak embroidered with black feathers on his shoulders. His attire was somewhat nondescript, but both magic treasures emitted spiritual light...
Hmm! Magic treasures of lower-middle rank.
Qian Chen determined by observing the spiritual light, which was the level of Qian Chen's spiritual light mirror, but the quality was lower. At least the material of the spiritual light mirror was extraordinary. But the wooden claw like an eagle's claw in his sleeve was his true skillful magic treasure, and its spiritual light was not inferior to the Black Gold Black Sha Hook that Qian Chen used in his early days.
The other loose cultivator had a dignified appearance.
He had a high nose and broad forehead, hanging eyes and long eyebrows, a chin as broad as a pillar base, wore a cyan-blue Bagua Daoist robe, wore a flat Hunyuan hat, held it with a jade hairpin, his hair and beard were all white, and his figure was relatively burly. Sitting down, he was a head taller than the maid bowing beside him. At a glance, he had a calm and dignified bearing.
Just as Qian Chen and the others sat down and scanned everyone on the deck, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the cabin where the gu-worm manipulator was, and someone shouted in a low voice, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the deck.
"Be careful, there are gu-worms!" Gao Hu shouted.
"Good plan!" Qian Chen secretly said in his heart. If you want to lure out his companions, nothing is more suitable than faking a fight! The sound of fighting came from the direction of that person's room, and his companions, no matter what, should go over to take a look.
In order to help!
Qian Chen's spiritual perception sensed that the corpse of the gu-worm manipulating man and Gao Hu were fighting together. Transparent threads that were invisible to the naked eye were inserted into his joints, and the ends of the threads were tied in the hands of the scholar-dressed He Fan.
Relying on these threads, he actually manipulated the corpse to fight, just like when he was alive.
Not to mention the power of the spells, at least the appearance was there.
"Puppeteer?" Qian Chen turned the Long Quehuan in his hand. This kind of inheritance originating from the ancient Yan master appeared so casually, the possibility that these people were reincarnators was even greater!
Qian Chen glanced at the chest of the corpse, where there was already a fist-sized bulge, and he suddenly thought: "I don't seem to have told them that there is still a gu-worm that has come of age hidden in the chest of that corpse, right?"
"Hmm! Forget it, they should be able to discover it themselves..." Although He Fan, who was manipulating the corpse, was struggling desperately, and even occasionally manipulated the corpse to suffer some injuries, it didn't look like he had discovered the hidden danger.
But, what does the hidden danger that you reincarnators didn't discover have to do with me, a plot character?
Everything is the difficulty of the mission, okay?
The reincarnator manipulated that corpse to break the cabin door and pounce toward the rear deck. A green light flew up from Gao Hu's hand, twisting one of the corpse's arms into pieces. The corpse's lips moved slightly, making a hoarse and indistinguishable sound: "Still not making a move?"
Obviously, the reincarnators also knew that they couldn't simulate that person's supernatural powers and spells, so they could only use this urgent situation to force out the two people in the dark. The Gao Hu and Luo Tong who made the move only showed the magic power of ordinary Penetrating the Law cultivators, looking like they only had a slight upper hand, and it was all thanks to the surprise attack that they had such results.
At this moment, someone finally made a move from downstairs.
A loose cultivator with an ordinary appearance suddenly turned over and broke the deck under Gao Hu's feet. He spat out twelve mouthfuls of true qi from his mouth, circling Gao Hu in the air, with mysterious light floating and shining. Eight mouthfuls of true qi merged, turning into a blood thorn with a stern meaning, and stabbed toward Gao Hu's heart.
The remaining four mouthfuls of true qi suddenly formed a small bell, which shattered instantly, emitting a sound wave that shook the soul.
At this time, another flying sword broke through the cabin, a white light flashed, and assassinated toward Luo Tong's back.
The spiritual light on Gao Hu's body formed green armor, and was shaken by the loose cultivator, his figure suddenly stagnated. The blood thorn immediately pierced the spiritual light armor and was about to sink into his heart, but a yellow light floated up in front of Gao Hu's chest, which was a Hunyuan stone, knocking down the blood thorn.
At this time, a small folding fan suddenly appeared behind the loose cultivator who made the move. The fan opened and closed, and with a "swish" sound, it rotated backward, opened and brought, and the person's head was cut off. The essence blood shot up from the neck, and a head fell at his feet.
Du Xiuniang took the fan, covered the lower half of her face, and the blood on the fan was still hot...
When the sword light under the deck made a move, Yuan Hao, the man in Daoist robes, had already lunged out. In just an instant, before Du Xiuniang could even take the fan, he had brought a person back to the deck.
The attention of others on the deck had already been attracted by Qian Chen and the others, and they all stopped talking and drinking, watching the situation calmly and sizing up the situation.
That noble family son asked the old servant behind him in a low voice: "How is the strength of these few people?"
"They are all experts, young master, don't move lightly!"
The two old men drinking together looked at the group of reincarnators with interest, without any panic on their faces, their expressions were calm, and their few juniors glared at Qian Chen and the others, but mostly they were not vigilant, but dissatisfied that they disturbed these two old men. There was even a sense of superiority beyond them.
And the two loose cultivators in the Realm of Penetrating the Law became vigilant and suddenly alert. But they didn't want to provoke their group either!
The assassin who was captured alive was still glaring at the few people, and said coldly: "Which family are you from, to dare to save Zhang Huaien!"
"Do you know who wants to kill him! If you are sensible, don't..."
Yuan Hao threw him at Zhang Huaien's feet and cupped his hands toward Qian Chen: "I have fulfilled my mission!"
Qian Chen smiled: "A few friends from the world, really clean and neat!" He looked at the last assassin, squatted in front of him, lowered his head, and asked: "Are there still people behind you?"
"The three of us are just small fry sent out to find Zhang Huaien. Don't think that killing us counts as any skill. When we discovered you, we had already sent the news back. Next, you will see the real hell!"
"You can't escape!" the man said venomously.
"I know... but do you recognize me?" Qian Chen asked.
The assassin was a bit stunned. He stared at Qian Chen and sneered: "If we hadn't been too careless and hadn't discovered that you still had people hiding on the boat, and were greedy for merit and advanced rashly, how could we..."
"That's good... The people behind don't even know that there is such a person as me, so how can they hunt me down?" Qian Chen nodded slightly: "After killing you, we will still be hidden in the dark. Thank you for telling me this!"
Qian Chen stretched out his foot and stepped on him, restricting his actions, and kicked him to Zhixia, who was behind him, to watch.
Qian Chen nodded to Yuan Hao, who was waiting on the side: "After removing these three, the boat is relatively safe. Do you have any way to speed up the boat? The closer we are to Jiankang before the next wave of assassins arrives, the better!"
Yuan Hao nodded slightly—this is the second branch mission. Obviously, they have gained the recognition of the plot characters. The faster the boat, the later the pursuers will arrive, and the sooner the support from Jiankang will arrive.
This is a branch mission that weakens the difficulty of the main mission.
He also noticed that when Yuchenzi's eyes swept over them, his expression was thoughtful, obviously having a brand-new assessment of their strength.
This is even more beneficial for them to carry out main mission two.
Qian Chen said to Zhixia: "See if you can ask some things out of his mouth!" After saying that, he left two people and got up to go downstairs. Zhixia shouted: "Hey! I can't do it!"
"You have walked the world for so many years, and you don't even know how to interrogate? "
"Shisan Niang!"
Zhixia showed his timidity. The noble family children showed sneers on their faces, and the two old men couldn't help but smile. The girl who was secretly looking at them was protected behind the middle-aged man when the reincarnators and assassins were fighting. At this time, she poked her head out again and giggled at Zhixia.
"Then you handle it yourself!" Qian Chen didn't look back.
"How do you want me to handle it? I don't kill people! Where are you going?" Zhixia said to Qian Chen's back.
"I'm going to find the boat owner. After killing someone, and wanting to use someone else's boat, shouldn't I say hello?" Qian Chen left straight away and asked the maid, who was still in shock, to report to the boat owner.
