Talisman Emperor
Chapter 329 The ambush
When Chen Xi saw the reaction of the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng, she actually confirmed her conclusion.
In fact, ever since before he entered Firecrow Town, Chen Xi felt that something was wrong. He had yet to fly in the air and was always moving in a very hidden manner as he approached Firecrow Town.
He naturally acted this way for the sake of taking precautions against the assassins of the Blacksun Pavilion.
Moreover, he was certain that by relying on the formidable heavenly Sense and the objective effect Ripping Echo had on the heavenly Sense of others, even a Rebirth Realm cultivator would find it hard to notice him.
However, it was precisely under these circumstances that Qiao Sheng who only had cultivation in the Golden Hall Realm had noticed him. Qiao Sheng looked as if he had expected Chen Xi's arrival long ago and had been waiting there for a long time. Moreover, he did not seem a little surprised when he saw Chen Xi trudging on the ground and not flying in the sky.
This was only one of the points in question, and since Chen Xi had just arrived here, he was not sure if his doubts were unnecessary.
But when he entered Firecrow Town and especially when he entered the Firecrow Tavern and saw Crimson Matthiola and Wu Fuxi, he immediately understood that his arrival might have been known by the Blacksun Pavilion a long time ago. Moreover, they had made traps before.
Crimson Matthiola and Wu Fuzi appearing inside the tavern were indeed very normal, but Chen Xi's Divine Sense always enveloped the surroundings, and he quickly realized that after he had entered the tavern, it was normal, Scarecrow Zhang and Skull Li put what they were doing earlier close to the tavern. Moreover, they did not enter the tavern but hid themselves in the shadows.
This is the cause of curiosity. For what reason would two famous villains of Firecrow Town be willing to stay in a dark corner under the piercing cold wind, yet unwilling to break into the bustling and warm tavern?
The thing that Chen Xi felt the most was that other than Qi Yin, four of the five great villains of Firecrow Town had actually gathered together!
A small tavern under a normal night was instead able to gather four big villains with completely different properties. This in and of itself is incredible, isn't it?
Chen Xi had the delusion to think that these four great villains had come to welcome his arrival.
Then, there was only one reason, someone had arranged everything before Chen Xi arrived at Firecrow Town, and they waited for Chen Xi to arrive before gathering Firecrow Town's supreme strength to kill him!
He had absolutely no need to guess who was governing all of this, as no one other than the Blacksun Pavilion possessed such an enormous ability to mobilize these great villains to do their bidding.
But it was very clear that in the eyes of the Blacksun Pavilion, there was a great villain not having much hope of killing Chen Xi, so they asked the tavern owner to prepare a fake map.
The Blacksun Pavilion's murderous plan was extremely thorough, and they clearly saw through the hearts of the people. They had instead made use of his intention of wanting to quickly enter the Forest of gloom and dodge attacks to produce this fake map, he said, and their goal was none other than to have Chen Xi bring along a fake map and get into a trap where they were ambushed long ago.
Of course, all of this was conjecture in Chen Xi's heart. But the frantic and sad reaction of the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng before him caused him to immediately confirm that all the pieces were true!
"I hope that you two are members of the Darchu Dynasty's Darchu Prison, and the materials collected from the Dark Forest by the criminals here will be handed over to the Darchu Dynasty through the two of you. I'm assuming that the two of you often hide wealth secretly to coat your pockets. '' Chen Xi looked at the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng who had turned pale from fear, and she said indifferently, Logically speaking, this is a great source of wealth. As a member of the Darchu Soulguard, I assume the Blacksun Pavilion will make things difficult for the both of you if the two of you are unwilling to do something. So, why are you two following their instructions and intending to kill me? "
The owner laughed sadly. “Money moves the heart. Guests, you should know also that as long as there are sufficient benefits, anything can happen in this world. ”
Chen Xi nodded in agreement. Wasn't the Blacksun Pavilion ambush aimed at me this time because those freaks coveted the treasures I had?
Clangs!
The Talisman Armament in Chen Xi's hand emitted a low and clear cry as it revealed killing intent. Although the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng were members of the Darchu Soulguard, since they dared to conspire against him, then they could only pay with their lives.
The expressions of the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng instantly turned into extreme terror as their souls nearly left their bodies. Never did they imagine that this evil existence still had no intention of letting them go after they told the truth.
“If you don't kill them, then I can take you to the Forest of gloom. ”It was at this time that a calm and indifferent voice that did not care about emotions sounded from outside the store.
Next, a strong young man walked into the tavern. His figure was tall and imposing, his expression was firm and indifferent, and his facial lines seemed clear as if they were carved with knives. A pitch-black arc covered in a faint and cold light hung on his back, and his entire body emitted a fierce, firm aura.
"Qi Yin?" Chen Xi spoke in surprise. Based on this person's appearance, he was indeed very similar to one of the five great villains, Qi Yin, who often stayed in the Dark Forest to fight and kill demonic beasts.
The young man nodded indifferently and said, “You might have guessed it too. The Blacksun Pavilion has ambushed in the Dark Forest and is waiting for you to enter it. They entered with the map I drew, so I knew the location of their attack, the power that formed the attack, and their battle abilities were like the palm of my hand. ”
Chen Xi was silent for a moment before asking. "Why are you telling me all this?"
Qi Yin turned around and pointed out of the tavern. Under the pitch-black night sky, many people stood still there. To his surprise, all the criminals who escaped the catastrophe in the previous tavern.
"I didn't kill them, so you want to avenge me?" Chen Xi looked as if she understood something.
Qi Yin said nonchalantly, “If they die, then there will be no one to collect the materials with me, and if I cannot hand over enough materials, then there will be no one to collect the materials with me, I won't be able to live long. ”
Chen Xi said, "You're afraid of the siege of the Darchu Dynasty?"
“Alright, I can save their lives. But you must first answer some of my questions. "Chen Xi pointed to the tavern owner and Qiao Sheng and said in a calm voice," The truth of your answer will directly affect their fate. ”
Qi Yin did not hesitate in the slightest to reply. "Good . ”
Chen Xi asked directly. "How many of them?" 'They' here naturally pointed towards the assassins of Blacksun Pavilion.
Qi Yin said, “163 assassins and three commanders in the Golden Core Realm, and they were divided into three teams. The first batch of assassins lay in an ambush in the Dark Forest, and they numbered 53. They were led by the commander of the Golden Core Realm. ”
Chen Xi continued with his question. “Commander level killer? Do you know who it is? "
Qi Yin did not let his guard down in the slightest, and he replied directly and straightforwardly. “The 76th in Golden Core Rankings, Commander Rose. ”
Chen Xi was stunned, then she nodded.
After he learned that the Blacksun Pavilion was going to ambush him, he discovered a lot of information related to the Blacksun Pavilion. The assassins who served in Blacksun Pavilion had a strict hierarchical system, and they could roughly be divided into commander-level assassins and ordinary assassins.
According to the difference in their cultivation, they were divided into Golden Core, Rebirth, Nether Transformation, Earthly Immortal assassins. Each cultivation field was divided into commander-level assassins and ordinary assassins.
Blacksun Pavilion had even set up some kind of perfect rank geared towards commander-level killing power. Blacksun Gold Core Rank, Blacksun Rebirth Rank, Blacksun Nether Transformation Rank, and so on and so on.
Moreover, only assassins capable of ranking in the top 100 rank possessed strength that was at the top of their respective regions. Just in terms of strength, they were even more formidable than some of the top Golden Core Realm experts in the Darchu Dynasty.
Chen Xi had heard about the incident that stirred the entire Darchu Dynasty cultivation world many years ago.
A Golden Core Realm cultivator whose strength was supposedly able to rank in the top 100 of the Allstar Meeting had died miserably at the hands of a Golden Core Realm assassin from the Blacksun Pavilion in one fell swoop. Moreover, the assassin was not even ranked in Blacksun Golden Core Rankings!
In other words, that assassin from the Blacksun Pavilion was just an ordinary assassin and far from being a commander-level assassin.
Thus, it was clear just how terrifying a commander-level assassin of the Golden Core Realm from the Blacksun Realm was. In the outside world, their strength would actually be ranked in the top 100 of the Allstar Meeting.
Of course, perhaps most of them were of insufficient age to allow them to participate in the Allstar Meeting. After all, only Golden Core Realm cultivators below the age of 30 could participate in the Allstar Meeting.
But, all of this was unable to help Chen Xi. He only knew that the ambushing hit man would not have so many conditions imposed on them as participation in the Allstar Meeting.
53 Ordinary assassins, and one commander-level assassin were ranked 76th in the Blacksun Golden Core Rankings. This was just one of the three killing teams .. Those old freaks had actually spent a lot of money. Otherwise, Blacksun Pavilion would probably not have sent so many people. Chen Xi quickly withdrew her thoughts. After he recognized the approximate strength that the Blacksun Pavilion had sent, he did not feel heavy in his heart, and a trail of hot battle intent appeared in his heat instead. If I can survive the Blacksun Attack this time, then my strength will probably increase greatly, right?
"How was their ambush distributed?" Chen Xi asked once more.
Qi Yin replied indifferently. “They all gathered in the natural abyss of the Dark Forest. They have set layer by layer traps and are just waiting for you to enter. ”
"They're not spreading?"
“They learned all your battles. Especially the battle between you and the Eldest Young Master of the Maple Leaf Town Clan, Sikong Hen, and the incident of you annihilating 18 Golden Core Realm cultivators yourself. They have studied it thoroughly for a long time and know that spreading their power will only create opportunities for you to take advantage of it. "When he spoke here, a strange light covered Qi Yin's eyes as he glanced at Chen Xi. He seemed to be somewhat surprised by the frightening strength Chen Xi revealed during this battle, and then his expression returned to normal and he continued to speak.
Qi Yin's words undoubtedly showed one thing, for the sake of killing him, the Blacksun Pavilion had gathered detailed information relating to him before setting up a targeted ambush against everything he had shown in the past.
Maybe I should change my style of doing things?
Chen Xi pondered for a moment before suddenly noticing the problem, and she looked into Qi Yin's eyes and said, "Splomb Forest is so big. How are they so sure that I will definitely get into their ambush? "
Qi Yin's expression still remained indifferent as she replied. “I've said it before. They are ambushed on a natural abyss, and if you want to pass through the Forest of gloom, then you have to pass through that place. ”
Chen Xi thought for a moment and said with a nod, “Your answer has greatly satisfied me. Take me to the Dark Forest at dawn tomorrow and the problems here will be eliminated. ”
Qi Yin seemed to be a little stunned as she never seemed to have imagined that Chen Xi who was so anxious to leave early would decide to leave tomorrow now. But he quickly recovered from his shock as he could not be bothered about all this, and he nodded in agreement.
“When I just arrived in Firecrow Town, I heard that you have a reserved nature and rarely speak. It seems that the rumor is not true. '' Chen Xi glanced at Qi Yin before turning around to leave the tavern. He wanted to find a safe place to rest for a while.
Whatdoes thatmean? Qi Yin frowned as she looked at Chen Xi's figure that disappeared into the night sky, and she was silent for a long time.
