After leaving the coffin shop, Leng Shiqi turned into a small alley, then quietly sneaked into the ground and opened up a small space.
The reason why he rejected Mao Cai's suggestion was because Mao Cai's mention of the word 'terrain' had reminded him of something.
The System Map!
Ever since the System Upgrade unlocked the map function, he had not used it because the map was useless on Blood Fog Island.
Only now did he suddenly remember this matter.
Leng Shiqi opened the System Map, and a circular light screen appeared in front of him. It was basically pitch black, and there was only a thin curved white line at the bottom right corner.
He stretched out his hand and drew a few times, and the map was magnified several times. At this time, the white line became a route.
Leng Shiqi took a closer look. Wasn't this the route he took from the General Pavilion to the Yin Wind Ridge in Donglin County, and then to Shang Yang City?
It also showed some of the geographical features near the route.
He enlarged the map again and pulled it to Shang Yang City. He saw that everywhere he went in the city, the nearby terrain was clearly displayed!
"This map is a little interesting. Looks like I'll have to spend more time studying it in the future," Leng Shiqi muttered to himself.
Next, he picked up the few pieces of information he had obtained and carefully read them.
The current Shang Yang City was controlled by the City Lord's Mansion, Qingkou Hall, and the Three Swords Gang.
Qingkou Hall and the Three Swords Gang were just small street gangs. They were not considered spirit cultivation sects at all. Even so, they had thousands of gang members.
The Thunderblaze Dynasty's influence in Donglin County was not strong. The City Lord's Mansion only had a few hundred city guards, and the quality of the guards was uneven.
Therefore, these two gangs did not put the City Lord's Mansion in their eyes.
However, the City Lord's Mansion was a power of the dynasty after all, so they did not dare to go too far.
Qingkou Hall and the Three Swords Gang occupied the east and west sides of the city respectively. The Three Swords Gang was able to suppress Qingkou Hall because not long ago, the Three Swords Gang had climbed up to the third-rate Heavenly Cloud Building!
Seeing this, Leng Shiqi felt that this mission was not that simple.
He originally thought that it was just to assassinate the leader of a small gang, but he did not expect it to involve a spirit cultivation sect.
The difference between a Spirit Cultivator Sect and a small gang like the Three Blades Society was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Even the weakest third rate sect was founded by a Spirit Aperture Realm expert!
However, the leader of the Three Blade Gang, Bao Pengyi, was only at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Most of his subordinates were just hooligans. Leng Shiqi really couldn't imagine how Bao Pengyi could get involved with a proper spirit cultivation sect like the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion.
Leng Shiqi continued to read, but the more he read, the deeper his frown became.
The Three Blade Gang had seven leaders under Bao Pengyi. They were all at the Spirit Transformation Realm and each of them guarded a street.
Bao Pengyi, on the other hand, had always been a cautious person who cherished his life very much. He had always holed himself up in his own mansion and rarely went out.
He still had over a hundred guards in his mansion, all of them Spirit Cultivator s. Every day, they would take turns to patrol, and it could be said that not even a fly could enter.
In addition, no matter where Bao Pengyi went, there would be four Spirit Transformation Realm guards protecting him!
They were called the Four Spirit Guards, and they would even accompany Bao Pengyi when he was eating or sleeping!
These four Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were specially sent by the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion to protect Bao Pengyi.
"What is so special about this Bao Pengyi that the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion would send four Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators to protect him?"
Leng Shiqi felt that this mission was a bit tricky. Ignoring the guards, Bao Pengyi was too cautious, and there was no way to assassinate him!
Even if he used the Hand of the Earth to quietly approach Bao Pengyi, he would still have to face the four Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators. Once a fight broke out, it would definitely attract more guards.
Leng Shiqi didn't think that he had the strength to take the head of an enemy general from an army of ten thousand.
"Ai, while it's dark, I should go check out the area around the Bao Mansion."
Then, he moved towards the location indicated in the intelligence report.
Not long after, Leng Shiqi arrived near the Bao Mansion. Immediately, the veins in his eyes bulged and his eyes turned green.
Byakugan, open!
As soon as the Byakugan opened, the world in Leng Shiqi's eyes turned grey. Everyone in the Bao Mansion was within his sight.
The Byakugan was an eye technique with extremely strong detection abilities. It was very suitable for Leng Shiqi's identity as an assassin.
In Leng Shiqi's eyes, he quickly found five huge sources of spirit energy. They must be Bao Pengyi and his four guards.
Just as the intelligence report said, these five people were indeed standing closely together.
Moreover, there were hundreds of Spirit Cultivators walking back and forth in the Bao Mansion. There were almost no blind spots. It would be difficult for an ordinary assassin to even enter the Bao Mansion.
Then, Leng Shiqi used the Breath Concealing Technique to restrain his aura. His body sank into the ground. Not long after, he arrived at the bottom of the room where Bao Pengyi was, waiting for an opportunity.
However, after waiting for a while, the five people above didn't move at all. Just as Leng Shiqi was hesitating whether or not he should try to assassinate Bao Pengyi first.
In his eyes, suddenly, two auras that were not weaker than his quickly walked over.
Then, the sound of conversation came from above.
Leng Shiqi quickly suppressed the killing intent in his heart and listened carefully.
"President."
"Big Brother."
"Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, why are you looking for me?" Bao Pengyi's voice sounded a little old.
"President, the people of Qingkou Hall have been too much these days."
"Yes, especially the two streets where Fourth Brother and I are. They have been looking for trouble. Today, they even smashed my place!"
"You can't even handle such a small matter?" Bao Pengyi's tone seemed a little unhappy.
"President, don't worry. Little Seven doesn't dare to disturb President.
It's just that I feel that the City Lord's Mansion is about to lose control of Jinshi Street. Our chance has come. "
"Oh?
Jinshi Street is one of the most prosperous streets in Shang Yang City. Qu Xin Ran is willing to give it up? "
"Hehe, that City Lord Qu has just arrived. He hasn't even suppressed the city guards under him. How can he have the time to manage Jinshi Street?
President, while the people of Qingkou Hall haven't noticed, let's make the first move. "
At this moment, Bao Pengyi was silent for a while before saying, "First, tell the brothers to be ready to make a move. However, we can't be anxious.
After all, the City Lord's Mansion still represents the Thunderblaze Dynasty. We can't fall out in front of them. "
He paused for a moment before saying, "Secretly leak this information to Qingkou Hall."
"Ah?
President, this … "
"President is wise!
President wants Qingkou Hall to make the first move. Our Three Swords Association is helping the City Lord's Mansion eliminate evil. "
"Go, I'll leave this matter to the two of you."
The two of them happily agreed. Since this task had fallen on their shoulders, it meant that they could share the profits of Jinshi Street!
After hearing all this, Leng Shiqi silently left the Bao Residence. He already had a plan to lure Bao Pengyi out of the Bao Residence.
