Light Cultivation
Eps. 56 — Puppet
At first glance there is nothing wrong with the magnificent house in front of it, has a green, clean well-maintained yard there are also cute decorations on the fence.
No one would have guessed that this house was the headquarters of the mastermind of the murder in the city that happened these few days. City officials were unable to investigate because the killer had left no trace of action.
One thing they do not know is that the murder was not committed by one person but a group. One of those groups was the one against Jian Chen earlier.
The mastermind of the killer was also a famous person, if the city security officers knew it they also did not believe that reality, because that person was quite famous for his hospitality.
Jian Chen who knew it alone was a little surprised even though some moments were replaced by understanding it.
In fact, every human being has a mask in him, has a different attitude in certain situations regardless of whether it is evil or good.
Jian Chen straightened both his hands and feet to make a permanent, deep breath and then took it out slowly. After solidifying his heart Jian Chen began to enter the area of the house
***
“Ooaahh, how many more hours until our sif ends?”
One of the guards yawned and asked his friend who was both assigned to guard the main door of the white house.
“Maybe in 1 hour, shut up! You've asked that a third time, if you ask the same next maybe you'll get a plate instead of the answer.” His friend snorted in annoyance.
“I'm just asking, this is weird anyway. Aren't we in the middle of the city why we have guards? Precisely if in a city like this our disguise becomes safer.”
“From your head! How can you think like that? It's like we're in enemy base now. If only a little mistake just a matter of blinking our group's disguise eyes destroyed.” The other friend was getting irritated so that he caught his partner.
“I agree with your opinion, once a mistake can indeed thwart your disguise for the last 2 years, and.. It just so happens today that the mistake has already happened.”.
The voice of someone else was heard making the two guards surprised instead of playing, a few seconds later they realized there was already a human figure in front of him.
Both of them turned wary, the arrival of the person they did not realize before, there was no sound or even a gust of wind that came out as if he had been standing there from the beginning.
“Who are you? Say your name?!” The guard had already pulled out his sword.
Jian Chen did not reply but rather smiled widely making the two guards increasingly wary of mixed with fear. As their eyes flickered, Jian Chen had already disappeared from his sight so that the usually fleeting blink became the longest blink for the two.
Jian Chen opened the door after killing the guard, who was found when he entered himself greeted by a festive party atmosphere.
One of Jian Chen's eyebrows shot up, not expecting the atmosphere of the assassin's headquarters to be like this. Although it is noisy inside but from outside the house this party does not sound anything. Jian Chen guessed for sure this house has a soundproof device installed around the house.
The arrival of Jian Chen made all eyes directed at him, let alone Jian Chen coming up with a sword without its sheath with at the tip of the sword was a drop of blood still dripping.
Everyone in that place became wary, first because Jian Chen entered through the main door where assassins usually entered through the windows of this house. The main door should only be used by the owner of the house.
The second thing that made them wary was the bloodstains from Jian Chen's clothes as well as his sword.
Jian Chen smiled coldly, his eyes tracing everyone in this place. As Jian Chen's introgated fellow had said before, there were no warriors at the level of the 7th Stage Soul realm and above among them. On the first floor there were only 20 assassins.
Jian Chen clasped his sword even tighter. “Maap interrupted your party but I can't wait for this to be done..”.
Jian Chen instantly moved without needing any further ado, the one who was nearby without knowing anything was unprepared when the swing of the sword pointed at him.
“You're crazy, why did you suddenly kill someone else?”
The people there were so angry that for no reason Jian Chen immediately killed his friend. Jian Chen smiled widely. “Not much to ask, I am your enemy! Today I'm here to eliminate all of you.”
Jian Chen did not stop there he instantly slashed his sword at the others. One move of Jian Chen's sword was enough to kill one person nearby.
The killers began to realize that this was an attack but they could not stand by completely because everything was drunk.
Although there were some who were still in their waking state they did not fight much, especially since their weapons were not with him. After all, no one would have expected tonight that there would be someone who would dare to attack the murderous residence, not to mention that this was in the middle of the city.
This state was immediately put to good use by Jian Chen, with the sword techniques of the deadly Niu clan. Jian Chen could kill everyone briefly without any resistance from them in the slightest.
Now that the first floor was already inundated with blood, Jian Chen had as much as possible killed him briefly for fear of them making a sound that made the rest of the house realize it.
Jian Chen then headed towards the second floor, just as the first floor they were partying ria. The action of Jian Chen's commotion on the first floor seemed to be unconscious to them.
Jian Chen moved quickly to kill everything, The originally pleasant-looking party had not long since turned into screams and cries of pain. It was not difficult to kill everything because the people on the second floor were much fewer than on the first floor.
When Jian Chen killed the last person, there was someone who happened to come down from the third floor and was so shocked he saw the scene downstairs was so terrifying.
The person immediately shut his mouth and tried not to scream, unfortunately even so the person who was standing in the middle of the pool of blood was still aware of it. As the assassin turned his head, he found golden eyes so coldly staring at him.
Jian Chen was indeed aware of that person yet he let him go. Jian Chen was not in a good condition, he was indeed unharmed but his mental state felt heavy as it had killed many people.
Maybe because it has been two years since he did not know the word kill humans to make his mentality soften again.
Jian Chen could be said to be mentally strong due to his first living condition that had killed many people especially when eradicating the evil organization.
Already thousands of lives were taken away by him, making Jian Chen could be said to be a cold-blooded killer. That was the reason Jian Chen had no qualms when killing people.
Jian Chen first calmed himself down before finally starting to move to the third floor.
Unlike the previous two floors that were all busy partying, the 3rd floor was not so. The previous person must have told him of his whereabouts so when Jian Chen reached the point that they were on standby and unsheathed the weapon.
There were only five people who were on the third floor but the cultivation of 4 of them was already at the 7th stage of the Soul Realm.
Jian Chen's gaze fell on the potbellied old man who was standing at the very back, that man who was none other than the caretaker of the White Goose Shop before.
He was also the one who sent the assassins to kill Jian Chen as well as the mastermind of the murder case a few days ago in the City.
When the gazes of the two met the Shopkeeper it then saw the face of the person who attacked his residence and he was so shocked when he got to know him
“K-you..” The Shopkeeper pointed at Jian Chen while trembling.
Jian Chen smiled widely, “I don't think we'll meet again this soon, unfortunately this time I don't want to buy anything from your stuff…” Jian Chen's smile widened, making the man as big as a pot fall down in fear.
He was aware of having offended the wrong person this time, the Diamond Dragon Shirt he wanted to take back from Jian Chen had a huge impact on the safety of his life.
