Chapter 1927 Blood Moon and Black Spider

Feng Jiuxiao and the others quickly came to the shore, only to see the waterfall falling from the sky like a huge water dragon, majestically hitting the water surface and stirring up a water mist that covered the sky! The sound of the water roared like thunder, deafening, covering all the surrounding sounds. The calls of birds, cicadas, beasts, and all other sounds could not be heard!

Lin Yuxi leaned over and looked at the twelve bodies. She opened their wrists and collars to look. Some of them did have tattoos on their wrists and collars, but some did not. She opened their shirts and continued to search until she found the tattoos. After a moment, she said firmly: "Five of these twelve people are from Black Spider, and seven are from Blood Moon."

Feng Jiuxiao thought: Some things are really speechless. If these killers don't have the organization's mark tattooed on them, they can't be identified by their peers and are easily injured by their own people. But once they get tattoos, their identities are easily exposed. Being a killer, even taking a shower has to be done secretly, life is really tiring!
Mrs. Lihua was standing at the end of the crowd, her cheeks twitching and her heart pounding with fear!
Twelve martial arts masters were shot and killed in an instant. Isn't this too terrifying?
She has been involved in the killer business for nearly ten years, so naturally she knows a lot of secrets!

She knew that although the Black Spiders were very famous, it was not because they had so many top killers, but because they had a high success rate in assassinations!

As for Blood Moon, like Black Spider, there are only a few top killers, but they are elite. What really makes them unique in the killer industry is their "success rate in one assassination"!
The most important thing in an assassination mission is naturally the result, which is the death of the target!
Target dead, mission complete.

However, due to temporary changes in various factors such as time, location, and people, the mission may fail. This requires a second assassination! If the killer is too unlucky, he may make a third assassination! As long as the assassination mission is not completed in one go, even if the target is killed, the employer will not be satisfied! Because as long as there is no one-shot kill, it will leave a huge hidden danger for the employer!
In this Wuyou Valley operation plan, the four groups of killers knew of each other's existence.

Because Lu Kong clearly revealed the meaning of "horse racing"!
This time, the "Worry-free Valley Operation" was broken down into several "local tasks" and each organization drew lots to claim and execute them. The organization whose killers performed the best would get all the next missions!
Since the reward offered by Lu Kongming was attractive enough, the four killer organizations did not feel "contempt and distrust" from their employer and all participated actively.

Mrs. Lihua is personally taking action this time to increase the success rate!
There aren't many masters in Lihuayuan to begin with. If all of them were transferred here, there would only be three ninth-level masters to hold the fort. They simply couldn't complete too many tasks, so she only took on a few tasks, adhering to the principle of "better to have less than too little"!
Hu Wei's family was big and powerful, and they sent out dozens of top assassins, including more than 20 masters of the eighth realm, and seven or eight masters of the ninth realm. They were clearly here to show off their strength!

To Hu Wei, it didn't matter if all these people died, because they were so skilled!

But the Black Spider and the Blood Moon are different!

They definitely don't have as many experts as Hu Wei! In order to win the ranking this time, it is said that both organizations sent nearly one-third of their main forces!
One third of them are on Hanlongyuan's side!
What does it mean to lose one third of your strength? That would be a huge loss of strength and vitality!

In the blink of an eye, the two killer organizations were crippled. This strength is simply incredible!

Feng Jiuxiao suddenly looked at Madam Lihua, "Madam Lihua!"

Madam Lihua was startled and immediately walked up to Feng Jiuxiao with her lotus steps. "What do you want, young master?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Madam Lihua, I would like to ask you a few questions."

Madam Lihua immediately smiled very gently: "I don't deserve it. Sir, please feel free to ask me. I will tell you everything I know!"

"Do you know about this Blood Moon organization?"

"Know a thing or two!"

"Please tell me about it."

Madam Lihua immediately said: "The predecessor of Blood Moon was actually the Rouge Division of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was a secret agency dedicated to the royal family dealing with political enemies. It was probably similar to the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty. Its head was usually a royal princess.

Later, with the rise of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the knowledgeable people in Southern Tang knew that Southern Tang would fall sooner or later, so they began to secretly prepare a way out for themselves. The Rouge Division was naturally not willing to lag behind, and they absorbed many martial arts masters and secretly began to contact martial arts assassination missions. Assassination was a piece of cake for them, they soon became a famous killer organization in the martial arts world.

Their motto is: Kill people when the moon is full, and stain the paper with blood! This is also the origin of the name Blood Moon.

It is said that after each successful assassination, a half-line of blood words would be left at the scene, written specifically with the victim's blood, which was equivalent to leaving a mark, one to publicize his reputation, and the other to use it as a basis for collecting the balance. "

Lihua paused for a moment and looked at Feng Jiuxiao, as if asking him if he had any questions.

Feng Jiuxiao remained silent and gestured for her to continue.

Madam Lihua continued, "The current leader of Blood Moon is Li Xuan."

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Li Xuan? Male or female?"

"Of course it's a woman. If I'm not mistaken."

"You're also relying on guessing?"

Madam Lihua immediately looked pitiful: "They have better family backgrounds than me, and they will not show up in public easily. Unlike me, I have a humble family background..."

Feng Jiuxiao frowned and interrupted immediately: "Keep talking, get to the point, don't go off topic." He didn't want to listen to a brothel owner trying to gain sympathy here!

Madam Lihua had no choice but to restrain herself and said solemnly, "After the fall of Southern Tang, the Rouge Division directly became the Blood Moon, and the Southern Tang princess directly became the Blood Crown Princess! The Blood Moon Organization is generally divided into the following levels. In addition to the Blood Crown Princess, there are also the Twin Moon Soul Catchers, the Seven Star Soul Snatchers, and then the largest number of front-line assassins. The female ones are called Funeral Flower Ladies, and the male ones are called Grass Cutters. The assassins usually choose moonlit nights to act, and all assassins are equipped with jade knives tempered with tear toad sand."

Feng Jiuxiao asked, "Why did you have to choose a moonlit night to kill? Would you not have done it if it wasn't a moonlit night? It seems that the operation in Wuyou Valley this time was not to be carried out at night?"

Madam Lihua smiled and said, "Sir, this operation of Wuyou Valley is not all about killing people! Beating people, arresting people, and detaining people are all tasks! And I am talking about the usual situation! The reason why we try to choose to kill people on moonlit nights is just to show its sense of ritual! It is nothing more than to increase the sense of mystery and enhance the reputation of the organization. The same is true for the jade knife quenching tear toad sand. When killing people with a jade knife, the wound caused will show special ice cracks. At a glance, you can tell that this is the method of the Blood Moon Killer! Of course, some employers require the operation to be kept secret, so these messy rituals are left unresolved."

Pang Shiwu said at this time: "I think that a real killer should pursue anonymity, be silent when acting, and hide their identities and leave no traces afterwards, so that they can last long. These killers are so good that they dare to leave marks, for fear that others will not know who the murderer is. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Madam Lihua smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Pang, you are a full man who does not know the hunger of a hungry man. You are not short of money, so naturally you don't understand the thoughts of us poor people. People like us have no money, no power, and no one to rely on. We can only rely on ourselves. If we can't make a name for ourselves, we will have no chance to make money. In addition, we leave the organization's mark, and any normal person will know that we are just working for others! Every grievance has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, and any victim who wants to take revenge will definitely not come to us..." She told the story in a torrent of words, full of charm and pitiful!
Feng Jiuxiao frowned: "Again?"

Madam Lihua was stunned for a moment!
Feng Jiuxiao was a little unhappy: "Tell me about the cases that Blood Moon has done!"

Madam Lihua immediately became serious again: "Okay. One of the more famous cases that Xueyue has worked on is the Qiantang Wedding Dress Case. The killer made a human skin lantern out of the daughter of the Qiantang prefect and hung it on the beam of her and her fiancé's wedding room. The lantern was inscribed with the words: If I had known that the lamp was fire, the meal would have been cooked for a long time."

La Jiao blurted out: "What? A human skin lantern? And it's hanging in front of the groom? Isn't this too vicious?"

Yuan Zishan patted her shoulder and said, "Don't make random comments without knowing the whole story. We don't know the truth about who is right or wrong."

Chang Zijin said: "Yes, we don't know the whole story. Sometimes the person who is assassinated is not necessarily a good person."

Lajiao thought about it, pouted, and nodded, "That makes sense." Madam Lihua said, "There is also a 'Jiangnan Snow Mermaid Tears Case'. After the killer poisoned the salt merchant's family, he used their blood to paint a 'Snow Mermaid Tears Picture' on the snow. It was done according to the employer's request. Of course, the employer's identity was eventually found out, and he was killed by the killer hired by the victim."

Chang Zijin said: "This is the cycle of cause and effect, there will be retribution."

La Jiao asked, "How was the employer found out? Did the killer reveal a flaw?"

Madam Lihua said, "In fact, the employer can only be blamed for revealing the flaw! The flaw is in the painting! The mole at the corner of the eye of the mermaid in the painting is in the same position as the salt merchant's mistress, which makes people associate it with the real culprit. In the end, we can follow the clues and find the real culprit."

La Jiao asked, "The salt merchant's mistress? Concubine?"

Madam Lihua nodded: "Yes, my little wife."

Chili sneered: "Don't you think this employer is a waste? He actually left such an obvious flaw. He must be tired of living."

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes became deep: "I didn't expect that the Blood Moon's headquarters is in Nan Tang. How much do you know about the Black Spider?"

Madam Lihua said, "I don't know much about the Black Spider, but I don't know little either. I'll tell you what I know. I can't confirm whether it's true or not. It's all hearsay anyway."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's okay. There's no smoke without fire. I believe that among so many pieces of information, there must be some truth! Just speak up boldly."

Madam Lihua said, "Okay. It is said that the Black Spider Organization is a branch of the Ghost Spider Cult in the Western Regions. They believe in the 'Demon Spider Mother' and believe that killing is a solemn ritual of offering sacrifice to the gods."

Feng Jiuxiao frowned and said, "They are bloodthirsty and murderous. It sounds like a cult! I guess Lu Kongming can hire them for this Wuyou Valley operation even without spending a lot of money!"

Pang Shiwu cursed, "Fuck, once you hear that you can kill someone, you'll do it even if you're not paid, right?"

Madam Lihua said, "All members of the organization carry a black jade spider pendant. It is said that the jade pendant contains an antidote for all kinds of poisons! In addition, after a member joins the organization, the organization will use special poison ink to tattoo a spider web pattern on their back. If the killer dares to betray the organization, the poison in the tattoo will take effect, and the whole body will fester and die!"

Zeng Yong said: "This is a blood contract in disguise!"

Madam Lihua said: "It is said that the current leader of the Black Spider is also a woman, and the organization calls her the Spider Queen. It is said that she looks like a young girl, but her real age is a hundred years old! The most powerful killing skill is the Thousand Silk Gu!

It is said that she has eight-legged masters under her command, named after the eight legs of a spider, each of whom is responsible for poison, illusion, killing, spying, etc. For example, the "claw master" is good at poison darts, and the "foot master" is good at lurking.

The killers who are active on the front line are called "web weavers". Every time they kill someone, they will have one more silver thread embroidered on their sleeves. When they have a certain number of silver threads, they can compete for the position of Eight-legged Envoy. "

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Through internal competition, we can continuously optimize the vitality of the organization. That's quite a good way."

Madam Lihua said, "Their methods of killing are endless. The most common ones are the Sky Dragnet, which is to first poison the target slowly, making it gradually weak, and then closing the net to kill it; there is also the Puppet Thread, which is to use poisonous insects to control the corpse and create the illusion of revenge; and the Spider Nest Trap, which is to set up traps in the target's residence, such as hiding poison needles in the bed and candlelight containing smoke. After each operation, a brass spider is left at the scene as a mark of the organization."

Pang Shiwu sneered, "That's a lot of brass!"

Chili added: "There are spiders that can be made of gold, so what's the point of using a brass spider? Using brass to pretend to be gold? Are you poor and pretentious?"

Everyone looked at Chili!

Chili's sarcasm value is really high!

Chili suddenly looked at everyone nervously, "Why are you looking at me? What did I say wrong?"

Pang Shiwu said: "No! They think you are pretty!"

Chili glared at him and said, "Get lost!"

Feng Jiuxiao motioned for Madam Lihua to continue, and Madam Lihua immediately said, "Also, it is said that before each generation of spider queen dies, they will lay an egg - of course, it is not a real egg, but a poisonous pill condensed with a lifetime of internal strength, which is passed on to the next generation of spider queens to swallow, and they can gain a hundred years of power!"

What? A hundred years of skill?

Zeng Yong and Pang Shiwu couldn't help but look at each other! They both saw a strange light in each other's eyes!

It's bullshit to say that they are attracted to each other!

With a hundred years of skills, his combat power definitely exceeds that of the peak of the ninth realm!

If one could swallow the poisonous spider egg and gain a hundred years of extra strength, who could resist this temptation?

Suddenly, a head appeared on the water surface. As soon as the person appeared, he felt that he was being targeted! Someone was aiming at him with a peerless magic skill. If he moved rashly, the other party would be able to kill him with one strike! This was his intuition!

"Are you Lu Kongming?"

Lu Kongming looked up at the shore and saw a young man in white among a group of people, holding a bow and aiming at him!

"Are you Feng Jiuxiao?"

"you know me?"

"Can you let me go ashore first? I have something to say!"

"Okay, come up!"

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
