Chapter 218 -206: Seven Killings Without Orders, Seven Killings Hall!

“Brother Tang is so intent on seeing Chen Yuan dead, the most foolproof method still remains to be taking action oneself…” Xu Lingtian said with a smile.

He was unwilling to make a move, wary of the Court. Did Tang Qian have no such concerns?

Tang Qian did have a good strategy planned, but unfortunately, Xu Lingtian was not so foolish.

Tang Qian’s expression didn’t change, and he didn’t seem at all embarrassed, even managing a faint smile:

“Brother Xu makes sense. To tell the truth, my initial plan indeed was to ask for Brother Xu’s help. But since you are unwilling, I must seek an alternative.”

“Oh?”

Xu Lingtian raised his eyebrows, curious to see what other method Tang Qian might have. To his knowledge, the Azure Flood Dragon Association had no other Reach Profound Martial Artist, and to kill Chen Yuan, at least such a practitioner would need to take action now.

After all, even the notorious Blood Demon had met his match against him; ordinary Heavenly Gang Martial Artists were certainly no match for him, going against him would be sending them to their deaths.

“What do you plan to do, Brother Tang?” Xu Lingtian could not help but ask.

“I would like to borrow the Seven Killings Black Token in Brother Xu’s hands,” Tang Qian didn’t beat around the bush and stated his purpose outright.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingtian’s face immediately went through several changes, his gaze intensively fixed on Tang Qian:

“Brother Xu does not understand what Brother Tang means by this black token.”

“Brother Xu, there’s no need to hide. Since I have come, it is not without reason. If you are unwilling to act, then I have no choice but to ask the Seven Killings God of Death to intervene.”

Xu Lingtian took a deep breath, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice, looking knowingly at Tang Qian:

“Are you willing to pay such a heavy price?”

The Seven Killings God of Death is a notorious declaration from the famed assassination organization, the Seven Killings Hall, claiming that no one can escape seven assassination attempts — if the price is right, they would even dare venture into the Inner Imperial Palace.

But such claims are believed by no one after all; the Imperial Palace is a gathering place for the strongest in the Great Jin Dynasty, no one could come and go unscathed,

However, this also indirectly shows the prowess of the Seven Killings Hall.

But there’s one thing, even to kill an ordinary person, the price asked by the Seven Killings Hall is exorbitantly high, and each assassination attempt requires payment in advance, regardless of its success or failure.

If the assassination fails, they wouldn’t persist in killing unless you post another task.

“If this person isn’t eliminated, my heart won’t be at ease!”

That was Tang Qian’s answer.

For some reason, perhaps a psychological effect, ever since Chen Yuan had been ranked among the top hundred on the Hidden Dragon List, Tang Qian had felt an inexplicable unease, always feeling that Chen Yuan was destined for greatness.

And since their grudge couldn’t be resolved, it must be dealt with.

“One thousand tael of silver, take the Seven Killings Black Token…” After listening, Xu Lingtian didn’t say much, directly naming his price.

Of course, he wasn’t going to take any advantage; the value of a Seven Killings Black Token was indeed priced at one thousand taels of silver. Furthermore, it’s hard to come by and only available for those recognized by the Seven Killings Hall.

Even he had only issued a task once. Although the results weren’t entirely satisfactory, it almost resolved a major concern of his.

“Thank you, Brother Xu.”

Tang Qian smiled, pulled out several ingots of gold from his sleeve, and placed them on the table.

He could obtain the Seven Killings Black Token; it was just not easy to procure in a short time. But to him, Chen Yuan was like a thorn in his eye, urgently needing removal.

By involving the Seven Killings Hall, he could remain uninvolved in the matter.

Conveniently, he had heard that Xu Lingtian had once acquired a few black tokens, so he had prepared the gold in advance. Of course, if Xu Lingtian was willing to act himself, that would be ideal,

and he wouldn’t need to pay such a high price.

Unapologetically, Xu Lingtian accepted the gold, turned around, and left. However, after a short moment, he returned and placed an utterly black, ink-colored token on the table.

Seeing the legendary Seven Killings Black Token for the first time, Tang Qian gazed at it. At first glance, there was nothing extraordinary, with only a ‘kill’ character on it.

But upon closer inspection, one could discern an inexplicable killing intent from this ‘kill’ character, even feeling a bit of chill from it.

Moreover, the material was very special, to cost a thousand tael of silver, there must indeed be a reason.

“How to use this, you don’t need me to explain, do you?” Xu Lingtian said with a light smile.

“No need to trouble Brother Xu with this.” Since Tang Qian knew of the existence of the Seven Killings Black Token, he naturally knew how to use it and took the token into his sleeve.

After casually discussing the recent situation inside Nanling Prefecture City for a while, Tang Qian soon excused himself, eager to meet with the people at the Seven Killings Hall.

The sooner it could happen, the quicker they would act against Chen Yuan.

After Tang Qian returned to the headquarters of the Azure Flood Dragon Association, he learned that the first thing that happened was that two Ghost Children under the control of the Blood Demon, previously confined in a certain mansion, had vanished.

For this, Tang Qian did not pay much attention; his relationship with the Blood Demon was not just based on coercion and temptation but also included cooperation. He knew very well how much the Ghost Children were valued by the Blood Demon,

Therefore, he had not mistreated the two Ghost Children.

They had run off, and that was that, being merely practitioners of Bone Refining Cultivation, it wasn’t a big deal. He figured they had learned of the Blood Demon’s death and had hurriedly escaped.

He never associated the other two Ghost Children with it.

The most important thing for him right now was to assign the mission.

In a deserted place, Tang Qian looked at the black token in his hand made of mysterious material and, without much hesitation, used a precious blade to cut open his palm, letting his fresh blood soak the Seven Killings Black Token.

After the ink-like Seven Killings Black Token absorbed the blood, it quickly changed color, and then Tang Qian ignited the black token, letting it burn to ashes.

This was the method to use the Seven Killings Black Token!

From what he knew, it would take at least a day or two, and at most five or six days, for the people from the Seven Killings Hall to contact him. As for the exact method used, he did not know, but as long as he soaked the black token in his blood, the Seven Killings Hall would be aware.

He had no intention of prying into such mysterious and eerie methods; all he wanted was for them to come as soon as possible…

Speaking of which, he felt somewhat frustrated that killing a mere Gang Condensation Martial Artist had to involve such complications, but he had no better method. Now that Chen Yuan was making his mark and had entered the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List, he would definitely attract attention from the powerful within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Not to mention others, just the fact that Tao Qingyuan treated Chen Yuan as a treasure showed Tang Qian was not yet ready to make an outright enemy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, as that could provoke them unduly and simply not be worth it.

Besides Tao Qingyuan, Tang Qian was also wary of the court…

…

…

And just as Tang Qian burned the black token, intending through the Seven Killings Hall’s assassin to kill Chen Yuan, similarly, Chen Yuan was also pondering how to eliminate both Tang Qian and Xu Lingtian, with Zhang Xuan’s return uncertain,

he could not wait forever and wanted to strike first.

But to do this, first, he needed Tao Qingyuan’s support. Only Tao Qingyuan could ask the Capital Commandant Lv Yuan and the Changle Gang to help Shi Yunlong.

If he could also join, removing Tang Qian would be a certainty, and he could simultaneously get rid of Xu Lingtian.

However, this was clearly not simple since Tao Qingyuan currently pinned his hopes on Zhang Xuan, and he could not ignore the orders from above.

Therefore, he had to come up with a method to force Tao Qingyuan’s hand.

His first reaction was to try and link the Azure Flood Dragon Association with the No-Life Sect, but Tang Qian was no fool and would likely notice, creating a dilemma.

This plan wouldn’t work!

After much thought, the only recourse Chen Yuan had was to exploit the rift between the Azure Flood Dragon Association and the Changle Gang; he planned to add fuel to the fire, even if it meant killing a few high-ranking members of the Changle Gang, including relatives of Shi Yunlong.

In the world of Jianghu, all actions have consequences; the Changle Gang and the Azure Flood Dragon Association were of the same ilk, with the former merely being more powerful than the latter, the only difference being that the Changle Gang was now cooperating with the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

But Chen Yuan had no qualms about adopting sinister measures.

From what he gleaned from Tao Qingyuan, when he killed Bei Le, Shi Yunlong had watched from the shadows, his intentions more than clear.

Meanwhile, he had the Ghost Gold Child and others spread rumors in the city about the secret collusion between the Azure Flood Dragon Association and the demonic individuals of the No-Life Sect, muddying the waters, and then, after waiting a while,

the contradictions between the two sides could be brought to their highest point.

During this time, he would also stabilize his Cultivation and enhance his strength, trying to elevate his Cultivation as much as possible before the inevitable conflict.

He even hoped for the arrival of another Qi Fortune child, to seize a new chance.

Thinking it, Chen Yuan immediately divided his people into two groups; one led by the Yunjiang Four Ghosts under Zhao Beishan, tasked with the targeted elimination of certain individuals from the Changle Gang.

Kidnapping and assassinating high-ranked descendants of the Changle Gang.

The other group, led by the Ghost Gold Child, spread unfavorable rumors about the Azure Flood Dragon Association.

It’s worth mentioning that Ghost Gold Child and Ghost Fire Child successfully found the Ghost Water Child and Ghost Earth Child left by Tang Qian in the Azure Flood Dragon Association, swaying them (through intimidation).

As Chen Yuan held their lifelines, they had to follow Chen Yuan’s orders.

At the same time, he also secretly ordered Yue Shan to investigate the forces rooted by Dragon Tiger Sect within Nanling Prefecture City, as everything steadily progressed.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan acted as if he were an outsider, quietly cultivating.

After receiving a letter from Chen Yuan, the Prefecture Chief also sent a letter to Chen Yuan, subtly suggesting that he would not pursue the matter in Qingshui County and even hoped to befriend Chen Yuan.

And this, too, was within Chen Yuan’s expectations.

The mine at Red Sun Mountain, the Prefecture Chief had already benefited considerably; besides, with the range of evidence Chen Yuan held, it was unlikely he would turn against him.

As for the death of the County Magistrate Sun Yuan, no one cared…

Under the joint pressure from Chen Yuan and the Prefecture Chief, no turmoil ensued, and the Government office happily appointed a new County Magistrate.

Time passed quickly in tranquility, and a few days blinked by as Chen Yuan continued his steady Cultivation, but today, his right eye twitched frequently.
