It was drizzling, and the Nanlong River, which used to be quite lively late at night, was much sluggish today, and many flower boats and green boats were docked along the bank.

A lonely, deserted shoal.

"Plop!" "Plop!" "Plop!" Accompanied by three sounds, Wu Yuan watched the three corpses tied to the boulders slowly sinking to the bottom of the river!

Until there is no more waves.

After so much experience since he woke up, Wu Yuan has become very calm about killing people.

What's more, this is the assassin who came to kill him.

"Here is two miles away from the river beach where I usually practice martial arts. It is located at the farthest reaches of the river beach in the city and five miles away from the Wu family streets." Wu Yuan said silently: "The river is rolling, even if these three corpses finally float up,

It will take many days, and it will also be further downstream. The probability of finding me is close to zero!"

Clues? Three corpses have been stripped naked by Wu Yuan!

Traces? When he rushed over, Wu Yuan passed through the grass without leaving a trace. There was no trace at all.

In this Middle-earth world, there is no surveillance and no various technological aids.

"Jiulong Mountain should be a dark organization. There are three third-rate masters, one of whom is close to the second-rate in strength." Wu Yuan's eyes fell on the night clothes on the ground, as well as the poison-smeared dagger and sleeve arrow carrier.

There is no other debris.

Recalling the opponent's fighting actions and route just now, Wu Yuan was sure that this was a strictly trained assassin!

It's not that the three assassins are not strong enough, but that Wu Yuan's strength is too terrifying, and he happens to be meditating on the rooftop and has insight in advance.

otherwise.

If an ordinary second-rate master encounters a surprise attack by three people, he will most likely be killed!

"Ask an ordinary third-rate master to protect you, a thousand taels of silver is all you need." Wu Yuan secretly said, "Can we hire such assassins? Three people?"

I'm afraid ten thousand taels of silver won't be enough!

"Xu Shouyi, is that you?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold. This was the only person he could think of.

Theoretically.

Some enemies of Hengyun Sect may also take action against themselves.

However, the news that he was specially recruited by the sect was only tentatively decided the day before yesterday. It has not yet been fully confirmed and has not been fully disclosed to the Wu family.

Which force reacts so quickly? Receives the news immediately and then immediately decides to take action?

The probability is too small!

After all, Licheng is only a county town, not a prefectural city! It takes time to transmit messages.

"Originally, I had some scruples, but you pushed me again and again, don't blame me." Wu Yuan's eyes were cold.

Wu Yuan had many thoughts in his mind.

"Tonight, if the assassination fails once, it should stop for a while." Wu Yuan's eyes fell on the ground: "Pack these things away first."

Put away clothes, daggers and other items one by one.

After cleaning up the traces of the tidal flat and confirming that no traces were left behind, Wu Yuan took this bag of things and left quietly.

Wu Yuan did not bury these clothes and daggers on the river beach.

Once the body surfaced, a slightly experienced detective named Tisi would conduct a search and search along the river.

…

It was drizzling and hazy outside the city.

But in the 'Nanmeng City' more than a thousand miles away, the bright moon hung high, and the moonlight covered the earth.

As the core of Nanmeng Mansion, Nanmeng City has a population of one million. It is one of the core towns in the territory of Hengyun Sect and is considered a "big city" in the world.

It stretches for dozens of miles from north to south and is a prosperous scene.

To the east of Nanmeng City, there is a high mountain with many pavilions, palaces, and martial arts arenas. Standing on the mountain, you can easily overlook the entire Nanmeng Mansion.

In one of the palaces, the lights are still brightly lit even late at night.

"Gao Yu."

"Is what you said true?" A white-haired old man in black robes sat on the Grand Master's chair and whispered softly. He had a childlike face and was full of energy!

At first glance, he looks only about sixty years old.

But Gao Yu, who was standing in the middle hall, knew very well that the old man in front of him was already a hundred years old, but his martial arts skills extended his life.

"Palace Master, everything my disciple said is true." Gao Yu solemnly said: "Wu Yuan's talent is so high that it is rarely seen in the world! Even Xu Hui can't match him."

"Xu Hui?" the white-haired old man muttered.

That is the person with the highest talent that Hengyun Sect has recruited in more than ten years.

"Gao Yu."

"Logically speaking, I should have gone there in person, but if I went to Licheng specifically to inspect the three prefectures this time, it would only attract the attention of interested people." The white-haired old man said, "On the contrary, accidents are more likely to happen."

"In addition, the meeting of the four families is coming soon, so I want to return to the sect immediately."

"You, then take my order and go to Licheng to recruit Wu Yuan into our Hengyun Sect." The white-haired old man said: "What you promised Wu Yuan, I will give orders after I return to the sect."

"Yes." Gao Yu was determined.

What he was most worried about was that the palace master did not believe what he said and therefore rejected some proposals.

"Since we need a special recruit, what is the meeting gift you prepared?" the white-haired old man suddenly asked.

"Twenty top-quality body-tempering pills, ten thousand taels of silver, "Nineteen Styles of Yun Wu Ji"." Gao Yu said.

"Not even close." The white-haired old man shook his head.

"Is this still bad?" Gao Yu was stunned.

In his opinion, this is good enough. After all, it is just a meeting gift. When Wu Yuan joins the sect, many more cultivation resources will be provided.

"Please give the palace master a signal." Gao Yu saw that the palace master had made up his mind.

"There is no need to provide yellow and white things." The white-haired old man said: "Gu Ji, bring the things over."

Bang~ The side door opens.

A middle-aged man in linen with an ordinary face walked in, lowered his head and held a white jade bottle in both hands.

"What is this?" Gao Yu was curious.

"Open it and smell it, and you'll know." The white-haired old man said with a smile.

Gao Yu took it from the middle-aged man in Mai, carefully opened the cork, put his nose close to it, and felt refreshed!

"this!"

Gao Yu was startled, and he already understood the contents. He put the cork on the bottle and looked up at the white-haired old man in shock: "Palace Master, the two ancestors got this for you with great difficulty."

"I'm too old and there's no hope for a breakthrough. I've taken most of this stuff and only have this little left." The white-haired old man said with a smile: "Didn't you say that Wu Yuan might have awakened the 'Upper Dantian Palace'?"

"This thing may be suitable for him!"

"Palace Master." Gao Yu couldn't help but said.

"You don't listen to what I say?" The white-haired old man frowned: "Remember, don't get rid of this thing. This is all I have, and the Supreme Lord and others may not still have it in their hands."

"Disciple understands." Gao Yu said solemnly.

Carefully put the jade bottle into a box and put it away.

"Gao Yu, once Wu Yuan's identity is revealed, it will definitely attract prying eyes from all parties, and someone needs to accompany him to protect him." The white-haired old man said: "You are not good at protection."

"Ancient times!"

The white-haired old man said: "This time, you go with the Protector Gao, and then come see me after you have escorted Wu Yuan safely to the sect."

"Yes." The middle-aged man in linen clothes nodded, still lowering his head.

He stood directly next to Gao Yu.

"Disciple, accept the order." Gao Yu also handed over.

He knew in his heart that this 'Guji' whom he had never seen before went to Licheng to protect Wu Yuan.

At the same time, you are also monitoring yourself.

"Palace Master, time is pressing, so this disciple will not waste any time and rush back to Licheng overnight." Gao Yu said.

"Go." The white-haired old man waved.

…

Naturally, Wu Yuan, who was far away from the city, didn't know about the affairs of Nanmeng City. He cleaned up everything and went home to rest.

It seems like nothing happened!

The next day, after the rain and the sky cleared up, Wu Yuan went to his ancestral home as usual, and then "wandered" around the streets and alleys of Wu's house.

..."Wu Yuan, is he still alive?"
