The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 420: The Failed Murder
—Gou Residence, West of Louhu— City
The Gou family was one of the great families in the influential city of Louhu, their family was renowned for its healing abilities, and was adept at identifying herbs with just fragrance.
They are proud of their strength and abilities, known to be very good with the surroundings. Their reputation is incredible, but of course there is white then there is black.
As of this moment, Gou Jian was sitting inside his private residence.
Gou Jian looked at the dozens of people kneeling in front of him, they were wearing all-black clothes and had a low presence.
This was a group developed by the Gou Family in secret underground, many tasks that the Gou Family could not complete on the surface, then this organization will solve it well without leaving a trace. Even the Mayor could not track him.
"Damn it!" Gou Jian hit the table beside him, making the table crack.
There was nothing strange about it, as Gou Jian himself was a level Four Swordsman (Early Stage Profound Phase).
The dozens of people kneeling on one knee, only lowered their heads without daring to lift it, even though they knew that Gou Jian was weaker than them.
Gou Jian stared at the black figure kneeling in the front row. "Hantom Birds! Take the group you lead to go to the Golden Needle Pavilion. Kill the people there without exception, if you find a woman, you can do whatever you want!"
The Owl looked up at Gou Jian. "Okay, Young Master. We will complete the task you have given us!" When he said this, his lips formed a satisfied smile. Not only could he kill, but he could catch women.
Gou Jian waved his hand, asking everyone to leave.
The Owl cupped his hands together, then jumped like a grasshopper and disappeared inside the darkness along with all his subordinates.
Gou Jian laughed out loud. His eyes were fixed on the exit, emitting murderous intent. "So what if you supported the Miracle Finger Pavilion? So what if you graduate with the best grades and have the knowledge? So what if you're on top of me? You're still gonna die tonight!"
Just as Gou Jian was being pleased in his own thinking, suddenly the roar of the wind was like a storm, and the next second the wind began to swirl around in the room.
Gou Jian descended from his seat, then knelt down on one leg. "Greetings, Immortal Cultivator!"
Suddenly in front of Gou Jian kneeled down, a black shadow began to swirl and as it exploded, it was seen a human figure wearing a black cloak coat.
"What about the kids we want? Did you collect it?"
Gou Jian lowered his head, not daring to even look up. "We've kidnapped children according to the order of the Envoy. We can send it tonight if the Envoy intends to take it now."
"No need, collect more. And, it looks like you've got a tough problem sending Team Shadow."
Gou Jian nodded his head. "It's no big deal, he's just an ordinary human, but Servant sent Team Shadow over wanting to teach him a deadly lesson. Let him hope that death is the best option!"
Due to his annoyance and anger, Gou Jian raised his voice involuntarily.
The black figure was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll see what kind of person made you come to this." He was also a little surprised, as he had never seen such an angry Gou Jian.
Gou Jian gasped, he looked up with a happy smile. But before he could speak, a mountain-like pressure fell on his body, putting him under pressure and falling on the floor to the point of cracking him.
"Don't you dare look at me!" The figure disappeared after saying so, and the heavy pressure disappeared.
Gou Jian gnashed his teeth full of anger, but remained pleased that the Immortal Cultivator was helping him to avenge.
Even though Eternal Swordsmen and Cultivators were of the same level, Immortal Cultivators were stronger because they used spiritual energy. Swordsmen only used bodies, and flying would have to burn special energies that would take days to fill, in contrast to Immortal Cultivators.
"Haha!" Gou Jian laughed out loud.
***
—Golden Needle Pavilion—
Although it has obtained certificates and permits, but the business has not been fully opened.
Mo Lian was also in no hurry, as she still wanted to relax for a while and wait for the uninvited guest to come. When the uninvited guest is done, everything will go well. It would be bad if the business went, and suddenly came assassins targeting it.
It does not matter if it only targets it, but it is bad if it comes during the day or when the patient is on medication and must live on the second floor.
As for destroying the Guo Family, Mo Lian had indeed thought up to there, but she did not think it was good to destroy it even though she herself already knew their ugliness.
Then Mo Lian knew that the Guo Family was running in the same business, so it was better to destroy their business and finances than to kill. Then reveal their ugliness along with the evidence.
"Darling!"
Yun Ning gave a cold snort as he stepped over. "Honey to know, the Guo Family is so rotten! I've been working on your orders to save the children and return them to their homes. But, all those kids are mentally impaired and skinny!"
Mo Lian gave a small nod, waving her hand asking Yun Ning to sit beside her. "What about Ning'er and Nian'er?"
Yun Ning leaned her head on Mo Lian's shoulder. "Xi Ning investigated the supporters of the Guo Family. Qin Nian followed the convoy of the Guo Family who sent the children, seeming to have already killed everything and brought the children to the patrol office."
Yun Ning looked up at Mo Lian and asked, "Why don't we destroy them all? Isn't that faster?"
Mo Lian tapped Yun Ning's forehead with her finger. "It can't be like that, killing them instantly is their greatest gift. I want them to feel pain slowly."
Yun Ning was silent for a moment, then nodded and grinned. According to him, it was a good idea to crush him slowly until he completely gave up and chose suicide.
...
At midnight, the city of Louhu is very quiet and the lighting is only from a simple torch and moonlight that hangs in the night sky.
Including the silent Golden Needle Pavilion and there was only a hint of light shining through.
When the streets were empty without people, suddenly there was a black shadow that jumped from one building to another without making a sound.
The dozens of people jumped straight onto the roof of the Golden Needle Pavilion, then descended onto the third-floor balcony.
The Owl raised its hand, then waved it forward to order everyone to enter slowly.
On the other hand, there was a black figure floating in the air, looking at the Golden Needle Pavilion. The figure frowned, feeling that something was wrong with the Golden Needle Pavilion, but he did not know what it was.
"Am I afraid of ordinary people?" The figure clenched its hands, then joined the Shadow Team to enter the Golden Needle Pavilion.
The Owl led its members, they entered easily without hindrance. "Be careful, we don't know what's here, it's so dark in here."
The Shadow Team members were confused as to why the Owl looked so wary even though its target was only the Physician Master. Although they knew the Physician Master was an existence above the Seven-level Swordsman, but the Physician Master in the Gold Needle Pavilion was only limited to the Third-level Swordsman, there was no need to be too vigilant.
But despite being confused, they did not question the decision of the Owl and obeyed his orders.
The black figure in the back row also skidded around and recognized that the Owl was a good leader, too, but he himself still felt strange why his feelings were uncomfortable despite coming to this weak place. Even Mayor Louhu was not comparable to him.
Right at this moment, suddenly the floor on which they stood, shone brightly and formed a light blue array pattern.
The Shadow Team panicked and tried to leave, but their bodies could not move even once.
"You've come here, why do you want to leave? Shouldn't you guys just relax with us?"
The Shadow Team and the Envoy looked at where that direction was coming from. They saw a young man behind whom three women were standing.
Mo Lian smiled faintly as she looked at the people targeting her. His attention was on the person who was still able to stand while the others were kneeling. "There was even an Envoy from the Puppet Sect. Did Gou Jian send you to kill me? Until the Immortal Cultivator who came, it seemed like the Guo Family had many connections."
The Shadow Team was stunned, they never expected that there would be an Immortal Cultivator joining this operation.
The envoy, who was hiding behind a coat, could not remain calm and his body trembled in fear. "You guys, you are all Immortal Cultivators. Ma-Each one of you, higher than the Patriarch." His voice trembled, sweat soaked his body and his back was cold.
Mo Lian smiled faintly, placed the cup on the table beside her and stood up. He took out hundreds of silver needles from behind his clothes. "From the beginning I was curious and had never done so, but since there are now mice infiltrating, I can use you as an experiment."
"Ning'er ..."
Hong Xi Ning flicked his finger, setting up an array formation that blocked all the sounds within the room from being heard outside.
Mo Lian crouched down in front of the Owl, then stabbed a silver needle in the left chest of the second row of ribs.
The Owl bit its lips, then shouted loudly with its red eyes. The shout only lasted a few seconds, as the silver needle again pierced his throat.
"There's still six hours before sunrise, I hope you can hold on." Mo Lian smiled faintly, but to the Shadow Team and the Envoy, her smile was like a demonic smile.
