After a month, Leng Shiqi saw Ghost Jue, the Grand Pavilion Master of the Donglin County branch. He found that Ghost Jue had a lot more white hair in his bun.
Furthermore, Leng Shiqi could even sense a trace of lethargy from his body!
He immediately remembered that someone had mentioned that the Grand Pavilion Master had seriously injured Tang Haoqing. He thought to himself, "It's said that the Grand Pavilion Master is very old, and his Qi and blood have begun to decline. He can't fight at will.
Could it be that his Qi and blood have deteriorated because he forced himself to fight? "
Ghost Jue was relieved when he saw Leng Shiqi walk in unscathed. He said slowly, "You're really troublesome. When Tang Haoqing attacked, I sensed an aura escape.
After that, all the disciples in the branch tried to find out about you, but there was no news, so they all thought you were dead.
However, I know you're not simple, so I reported to the Pavilion Master that you were missing. "
Leng Shiqi could not help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this. After he recovered from his injuries, he had disguised himself and entered Shangyang City.
He had only come into contact with Mao Cai, and then he had been hiding under the Qingkou Hall. It would be strange if those people could find him.
Mao Cai had broken the rules of the Blood-Robed Pavilion to give him the information, so Mao Cai definitely did not dare to say that he had seen Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi immediately said, "Although I escaped, I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. I found a hidden place to heal and did not dare to show up. I've troubled the Grand Pavilion Master."
"It's good that you're back. I see that your cultivation has improved a lot. It's a blessing in disguise," Ghost Jue said meaningfully.
Leng Shiqi knew that he could not hide his cultivation from the Grand Pavilion Master, so he had already prepared an excuse. Just as he was about to explain, Ghost Jue waved his hand indifferently.
"Everyone has their own opportunities. Since you're back, you should rest for a few days. Wait for the new Grand Pavilion Master to take over before you accept any missions."
"The new Grand Pavilion Master?" Leng Shiqi could not help but be stunned.
Ghost Jue said, "I've already sent the news of your return to the Pavilion Master. Although you're not dead, you had an accident in my hands. I still have to bear the responsibility.
I'm sure I won't be able to sit in the position of Pavilion Leader anymore. "
The Pavilion Branch Great Pavilion Leader was a position of great power in the Blood-Robed Pavilion.
Although Ghost Jue was no longer one of the nine Underworld Blood Cloak assassins, the Underworld Blood Cloak assassins were all concentrated in the General Pavilion. There were three of the strongest people above them, so they didn't have much power and benefits to share.
On the contrary, although the resources of the branch pavilion were not as good as the main pavilion, the Grand Pavilion Leader had the highest authority here. He was equivalent to a local tyrant. Some were even more well-off than the Netherworld Blood-Clothed Assassins.
However, because of Leng Shiqi, Gui Jue wanted to step down from his post. This made Leng Shiqi feel a bit guilty.
"Great Pavilion Leader, this disciple …"
"There's no need to say anymore."
Gui Jue interrupted Leng Shiqi and said, "I don't care about the fight for power. I'll return to the main pavilion and become an outer sect elder.
You, on the other hand, should be more careful in the future. "
"Me?" Leng Shiqi was a little confused.
"Yes, in fact, even if you didn't have an accident this time, the General Pavilion would transfer me back sooner or later. Then they would definitely send that person to succeed the position of Pavilion Leader."
The more Leng Shiqi listened, the more confused he became. However, he was also keenly aware that all these changes seemed to be related to him.
So he asked, "Who will it be?"
"Feng Shamo!" Gui Jue's tone became a little dignified.
Leng Shiqi was very strange to hear this name. He didn't know who it was at all.
Gui Jue explained, "This person is the chief pro-disciple of the Pavilion Leader. His cultivation has just entered the Gang Spirit Realm. He deserves to be the leader of his generation of disciples!"
The chief pro-disciple of the Pavilion Leader!
Leng Shiqi's heart skipped a beat. At this time, he thought of another person, Yushu!
Yushu was also the disciple of the Pavilion Leader. That was to say, the trusted Pavilion Leader of Donglin County was very likely to be Yushu's senior fellow apprentice.
Gui Jue continued, "Feng Shamo is arrogant and unruly. He thinks highly of himself and acts decisively and ruthlessly. Although his cultivation has just entered the Gang Spirit Realm, his combat capability is comparable to the middle stage of the Gang Spirit Realm.
In fact, such a person is not suitable to be the Pavilion Leader of the branch, but the Pavilion Leader will definitely send him here.
Leng Shiqi, you have to remember that you can't be too close to Feng Shamo or too distant from him. You have to control the degree. "
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi knew that Gui Jue's words were more profound. He vaguely felt that he seemed to be inexplicably in an undercurrent.
He nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, Pavilion Leader."
"Well, that's all I have to say. You can leave now."
Leng Shiqi immediately bowed and left.
After coming out of the Pavilion Leader, he was full of worries.
He thought that he could avoid the internal disputes of the sect by coming to the branch in Donglin County, but he didn't expect that an invisible storm had already formed around him.
But he couldn't do anything, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Phew."
Leng Shiqi couldn't help but sigh and spit out all the depression in his heart. He quickly adjusted his mentality and walked to the square.
When he came to the branch for the first time, he didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, he looked carefully and found that there were hundreds of black-clothed killers in the square, all of whom were spirit cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm!
In addition, there were more than 20 blood-clothed killers, all of whom were masters in the Four Realms of Celestial Being!
The weakest one was in the Spiritual Pulse Realm!
And most of the killers were performing tasks outside!
You Jinyu was a deacon elder in the Heavenly Cloud Tower, but she was only a blood-clothed killer in the Blood-clothed Pavilion.
At this moment, Leng Shiqi finally realized the power and horror of the Blood-clothed Pavilion.
Just this branch alone was comparable to a second-rate force!
Leng Shiqi then walked to a desk, took out Bao Pengyi's head, and handed it to a grey-clothed disciple opposite him. He said, "Two-star mission, assassinate the leader of the Shang Yang City's Three Swords Gang, Bao Pengyi."
He was here to hand in the mission, which had been delayed for nearly a month. It was finally time to hand in the mission.
Fortunately, Bao Pengyi's head had been stored in the system space and showed no signs of decay. Otherwise, even if it was stored in the mustard seed bag, there would be some changes after so long.
The grey-clothed disciple took the head and took out a thick book to flip through.
After a short while, he took out a red brush and sketched on it, saying, "May I borrow your identity token, sir?"
Leng Shiqi took out his identity token and placed it on the desk. The grey-clothed disciple inserted it into a blood-red groove, then took out something similar to a card and swiped it on it. Then, the number "50" appeared on Leng Shiqi's identity token, and finally disappeared into the token.
The grey-clothed disciple returned the token with both hands and took out a small package containing Spirit Transformation Pills and Spirit Stones. He said, "Sir, all your rewards are here."
Leng Shiqi nodded and took the package and the token. Then, he returned to his stone room and prepared to study the Nine Nether Magic Pattern.
