238: Chapter 90 Tian Qingyun Sheep_1 238: Chapter 90 Tian Qingyun Sheep_1 The miner who killed lay on the ground, his footsteps never stopping.
But as he moved like a surging wave, only an agitated profile was visible to the onlooker.
A series of fluid movents, relying on ambush and nurous thods, and with the cultivation of the Tongtian Realm, he instantly killed a family elder of the Xi Family from the Ascending Dragon Realm.
It was none other than Hu Shaong!
The treasure that had erged into the world at this mont was precisely the goal he had been plotting for a long ti.
In his early years, he obtained a secret technique known as “Treasure Glow Decree”, a mystical art capable of detecting treasures and reflecting their value through radiance.
During a random inspection in the mine, he discovered a treasure hidden deep within the ore veins, only that it wasn’t yet Perfect, the ti for it to erge had not co.
He had been waiting for such a long ti.
On one’s own territory, there was certainly no need to be anxious.
Although the mine was nad after the Hu Clan, the real masters behind it were the Zhong Xuan Family.
With the ergence of a precious treasure, it naturally took the Zhong Xuan surna.
Therefore, before that, the Zhong Xuan family must be made to leave.
But if the Zhong Xuan Family were made to give up this place prematurely, Jia City would inevitably take over.
The treasure would still not end up in Hu Shaong’s hands.
Thus he strictly controlled the timing, personally stealing the ore, all to ensure the ore vein would be exhausted at his predetermined ti.
Best case scenario would be for the Zhong Xuan Family to give up the mine site while Jia City had yet to take over, and for the treasure to erge just then.
Create a timing gap to snatch the treasure in one fell swoop.
Half a year ago, soone broke into the mining area.
In fact, it was him, the person stealing the ore.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Xie Hao, the cultivator stationed at the mine, and he had to kill him on the spot.
Afterwards, he covered up the truth, framing Xie Hao as a spy sent by the Xi Family to exhaust the ore vein—a cover-up for the Zhong Xuan Family’s potential accountability.
Ge Heng, Zhang Hai, and others all believed it to be true, allowing him to conceal the truth further.
Everything that followed was for this purpose.
But unexpectedly, the news still leaked, and it was sensed by Xizi Chu.
Even less did he expect that an ore vein of Qingyun stone, not so large in scale, would attract the Zhong Xuan Family’s attention, sending such a troubleso figure as Jiang Wang who, after several attempts of probing, returned without success.
As the matter dragged on, it beca more and more troubleso.
He simply overturned the plan, leveraging a new layout.
Xizi Chu was using him, but wasn’t he also using Xizi Chu?
The two had been in an overt and covert struggle for so many years; he knew Xizi Chu all too well.
Seizing the mont when Xizi Chu was still in Jia City, and Jiang Wang was enshed in battle with the assassin with the pig-bone face outside the mine, he ambushed and killed the Xi Family elder and took the treasure.
Then he would escape back to the Near Sea Archipelago.
The Diao Hai Building was proficient in illusion techniques; Hu Shaong, when hiding his tracks, was far more professional and inconspicuous than the Xi Family’s elder.
Xizi Chu thought he had succeeded in tricking Hu Shaong into coming to Jia City, where he planned to capture and imprison him, secretly leading the assassin with the pig-bone face and Jiang Wang to kill each other, eliminating all competitors in one go.
At the sa ti, he arranged for the family’s experts to sneak into the Hu Clan Mine Site to seize the treasure.
In the end, he would make his move himself, joining forces with the Xi Family’s elder to exterminate the evil Bone Tao assassin with the pig-bone face and give the commoners of Jia City justice!
What a perfect script this was.
Yet he never imagined that Hu Shaong himself had been hiding in the mine all along, even lurking right beside the Xi Family’s disguised elder.
The one contending with him in Jia City was rely an illusion controlled from afar using the treasure.
…
Outside the mining area’s main entrance, Jiang Wang naturally also would not miss the Treasure Glow.
His eyes took in everything around him, noting that Hu Shaong had briefly leapt into the air and killed a Transcendent cultivator.
Imdiately, he shouted, “Su Xiuhang, Zhu Bijing, you two go and block Hu Shaong, leave this place to !”
The assassin with the pig-bone face was in a rage, but had not lost his sanity.
His vision was filled with bright flowers, yet his other senses were unimpeded.
Hearing this voice, he imdiately turned around and with a thunderous stride, he charged at Jiang Wang through a sea of flowers.
His stature was tall and his strides large, covering the ground quickly and approaching Jiang Wang in just a few steps.
As the assassin lost sight in his vision, Jiang Wang deliberately conjured several entwining vine snakes as a makeshift “tripping rope”.
But they were straight-up broken and sent flying by the massive onrush of the assailant with the pig-bone face.
In such a state, the pig-bone faced assassin was infused with the Bone Tao Dharma Phase within his flesh body, granting him boundless strength and making him oblivious to pain.
Among the hidden illusionary flowers, so were scattered by his palm strikes, others he endured directly, even as they scorched clumps of flesh, he acted as if it were nothing.
One step covered the ground of three normal ones, closing in on Jiang Wang in an instant.
Under the clear sky, within the sea of flowers, shadow lood overhead.
In front of Jiang Wang, the entwined vine snakes ford a barricade, and atop the barricade, a giant flower opened its maw wide.
The vine snakes had grafted onto the Eating Flower.
Simultaneously, the sea of flowers transford.
In the field of view of the pig-bone faced assassin, countless Eating Flowers appeared, countless maws snapping shut.
Crack!
But he managed to accurately grab the only real flower, seizing the Eating Flower’s massive jaw from both top and bottom, and lightly tore it apart.
Sap splattered everywhere.
The Eating Flower disintegrated, and the vine serpents entwined around the wall scattered.
But before his eyes, Jiang Wang had disappeared.
Where was he?
That detestable yet cunning little bug, that odious yet delicious man from Zhuang Country.
“Roar!”
The one with a pig bone mask let out a beastly roar.
He suddenly opened his mouth.
A huge maw split open violently, sharp fangs protruding, and a foul stench swirling.
This was a genuine blood basin of a mouth.
In comparison to the “big mouth” of that Eating Flower, it seed as minuscule as a cherry.
And with his gaping maw, he suddenly inhaled!
Ravenous power!
A trendous force of suction erupted.
Zhang Hai, who had retreated to a distance, suddenly felt light and was pulled forward several steps.
He hurriedly grabbed the pillar of the mine entrance gate to temporarily steady himself.
Even more terrifying was the environnt enshrouded in mist, the sea of flowers bolstered by illusionary pearls, barely quivering before shattering.
Such a force of suction even affected the Dao Techniques, snuffing them out directly.
And facing the force of rampant consumption head-on, what kind of pressure must Jiang Wang have been under?
…
Compared to the mining area where the crowds from the mine had gathered, the mine entrance was, in fact, closer to where the mine was collapsing.
On Jiang Wang’s command, Su Xiuhang and Zhu Bijing imdiately soared forward.
Of course, neither of them were motivated by loyalty to Jiang Wang.
Although Su Xiuhang’s life was in soone else’s hands, he was thinking about the treasure.
As for Zhu Bijing, she harbored resentnt against Hu Shaong, convinced that he was the corrupt character responsible for her sister Zhu Suyao’s drastic change in temperant and her eventual death in the Heavenly Abode Secret Land.
In the direction of the mine tunnel.
Clip-clop, clip-clop.
The light sound of hooves.
A Qingyang sheep, uniformly colored as if carved from jade, seed to step out from beneath the earth, approaching from the depths of a vein.
It was a creature that captured one’s gaze at first sight, making it hard to look away, inciting the desire to own it.
From a distance, the overseer’s eyes widened.
A sheep was actually walking out of the mine tunnel!
The miner had spoken the truth!
He finally understood why Hu Shaong had killed soone that night.
That was the secret Hu Shaong was trying to hide.
What he didn’t know was that what the miner had seen that night was rely a projection; the treasure had not yet fully matured and erged.
Since then, the nearby mine tunnels had been shut down for so reasons concocted by Hu Shaong.
This treasure was called the Qingyun Sheep, the spirit of the Qingyun Stone.
Out of ten thousand Qingyun veins, perhaps not one would yield such a spirit stone.
It was an extrely precious Wooden Tao treasure.
Hu Shaong was willing to forgo thirty years of developnt opportunities for the Hu family under the protection of the Zhong Xuan Family, evidence of its priceless value.
Longing for the treasure that had finally erged, Hu Shaong quickened his pace at that mont, launching a water rope with an initial move to entangle the Qingyun Sheep.
But a Wind Blade was concealed in his palm as Su Xiuhang rushed in desperately.
He reached the Qingyun Sheep before anyone else!
Lacking his dagger, he directly used the Wind Blade to sever the water rope.
He reached out to grab the Qingyun Sheep.
But suddenly, the scene blurred, and the Qingyun Sheep split into three, making it unclear which one was real.
He grabbed at thin air.
It was an illusion cast by Hu Shaong at the last mont.
“What kind of son of a bitch assassin?
Is the World Building such a shoddy organization?
Where is their credibility?”
The highly paid assassin not only failed to kill the target but also ended up being used by the target.
Hu Shaong rose with the waves, seething with anger.
The world had truly degenerated, even assassins lacked the slightest professional ethics!
