Rebellious Contract Beast

"Ah."

He Jianchuyun responded softly, then raised his eyes slightly.

The last person Shen Yi mentioned was in the carriage not far ahead.

This carriage was very ordinary, with no markings of any faction on it. The two pack horses that had been pulling the carriage in the front had been untied and released at some point, and the carriage was left alone on the side of the road. The curtain leading to the carriage faced Tsurumi Hatsuyun.

She didn't move, just stood there, looking at the carriage, her eyes seemed to pass through the curtain and look at the person sitting inside.

As for why he was sure that the people in the carriage were coming for him?
That's because Tsurumi Hatsuyun could feel the murderous intent emanating from the carriage. It was blatant, without any concealment, and it was staring straight at him.

However, the people inside did not seem to want to take the initiative. He Jianchuyun did not move, and the person in the carriage also did not move.

The two sides were in a stalemate for about two or three minutes. Tsurumi Hatsuyun began to look thoughtful, and finally he decided to take a step forward and walked towards the carriage in front.

"Don't you have spiritual awareness? Tell me who that person is inside."

"How should I know? I have never seen that person before, and I can't see through him with my spiritual sense. He should be wearing an object with a similar function to the ghost market mask."

Shen Yi said this. In his spiritual consciousness, the lines of the human power field in the carriage were completely dispersed into a very regular sphere, which was very abnormal.

This effect will only occur after wearing the Ghost Market Mask.

Neither he nor the old witch knew what the man in the carriage was going to do, but since he chose not to take action and insisted on wasting time, he might as well take the initiative.

Tsurumi Hatsuyun walked at a leisurely pace and soon arrived ten steps away from the carriage.

Her approach seemed to be exactly what the other party wanted. As she got closer and closer, the next second, the spiritual power vibrated, and the whole carriage exploded with a "bang". Wood chips flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. A figure flew up from the exploded carriage and swooped down towards Tsurumi Hatsuun from mid-air like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

He Jian Chu Yun watched coldly. She seemed to have anticipated everything that was happening before her eyes and was not panicked.

And judging from the opponent's strength, there is no need for her to panic.

The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and soon they collided with each other.

The sword energy flowed in He Jianchuyun's hand, and he pointed at the person who was attacking him.

boom!
Wow!

An impact force was spreading out, and all the dust within a ten-meter radius centered on the two people was swept out by the shock wave.

The spiritual powers of the two men clashed in the most direct way, and the result was that the person in the carriage was torn to pieces on the spot, just like a little man made of building blocks, with all kinds of parts flying everywhere. When one of the limbs fell to the ground, He Jianchuyun saw clearly what it was, and his handsome eyebrows suddenly frowned.

The one who was confronting her head-on was not a real person, but just a more advanced puppet.

Now the puppet has been destroyed by her, but the person who controls the puppet escaped when the puppet attacked him.

With a quick sense, He Jianchuyun quickly turned his head to look to the left, only to see a figure flash by quickly and fly away into the distance.

However, that person never thought about really fighting with her from the beginning. Once the puppet was destroyed, he reacted quickly and ran away quickly.

He Jianchuyun wanted to chase after him, but in the blink of an eye, the other party fell into the chaotic crowd and could not be found at all.

A few minutes later, the figure looked back and confirmed that He Jianchuyun could not catch up with him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled off the hood and mask on his head. The face revealed was none other than the third son of Zhu Jianqing, the head of the Zhu family - Zhu Yanzheng!

At this moment, his face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his originally handsome face. He was staggering as he walked.

Before long, he could no longer hold on, and collapsed on the side of the road, holding on to the wall with one hand, his mouth opened and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

That puppet was no ordinary puppet. He had spent a lot of effort to refine it. Its strength was comparable to his own, but in front of He Jianchuyun, it couldn't even withstand a single blow.

If I fight her myself, the consequences will be disastrous.

"hu~hu~"

Zhu Yanzheng turned over with great effort and sat on the ground, gasping for breath. His puppet was destroyed and the backlash caused him severe internal injuries. He was afraid that he would suffer from hidden diseases from now on.

But this is the best result.

At least people are still alive.

What puzzled him most at the moment was, wasn't Tsurumi Hatsuyun just under nineteen?

How can she be so strong at this age?

The people he brought with him were all strong ones whose cultivation was higher than the Pure Level, but even these people did not even have the strength to fight against He Jian Chu Yun, and they all died in the first encounter.

This kind of performance is not what a regular-level spiritual master should have. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the peak of the pure level!
He couldn't understand it, and couldn't figure it out, but this incident also made him realize that if he wanted to kill He Jian Chu Yun to avenge his own brother, he couldn't do it by himself.

He had to seek help from others, but his connections were limited. Those who could help him were not able to deal with Tsurumi Hatsuun, and he did not have the ability to invite those who could help him.

After thinking it over, the figure of Wan Gaoyue finally emerged in his mind.

There is only this person. Although he really doesn't want to get involved with Wan Gaoyue, he has no choice, otherwise he can only give up the idea of ​​revenge for Zhu Yantao.

"He Jian Chu Yun, I will make you buried with Yan Tao!"

He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, stood up and limped towards the Zhu Mansion.

After finding his people, he first wiped the blood off his body, then changed his clothes, and forced himself to cheer up despite his injuries, pretending that nothing had happened, and took his people to Qingshuisongyuan to meet Wan Gaoyue.

As usual, today Wan Gaoyue was sipping fine tea in the courtyard, watching the actors on the stage swinging their sleeves, their elegant appearance, and their humming singing voices reaching his ears.

Seeing Zhu Yanzheng appear and walk towards her, Wan Gaoyue put down the teacup in her hand and signaled to the person next to her with her eyes. After the maid left, she smiled and said, "Oh, Yanzheng is here. You come to see me at this time. Did something happen to you?" After she finished speaking, the maid who had just left happened to move a chair towards this side and placed it not far from Wan Gaoyue.

And she continued, "Please sit down. You are welcome. It is a good opportunity for you to listen to the opera with your mother."

"Thank you, mother."

Zhu Yanzheng said politely, without any ceremony to Wan Gaoyue, and sat down on the chair that had just been placed.

He didn't have the leisure to listen to music or watch a play right now, so he didn't waste any words with the other party. He went straight to the point and said, "Mother, I came here to ask for something. I hope you can help me. After the matter is done, I will consider it as a favor I owe you. If I need your help in the future, I will never forget your kindness today, no matter if it means going through fire and water!"

Hearing this, Wan Gaoyue paused for a moment after picking up the teacup, and couldn't help but laugh: "Zheng'er is really straightforward. Mother likes children like you."

Zhu Yanzheng frowned. How could he not hear that the other party was indirectly scolding him for being too direct?
Yes, a straightforward person can't survive for long in the Zhu family compound. He and Zhu Yantao's biological mother are living examples. Because they were not scheming, they were framed and killed, and the murderer has not been found yet.

But he didn't care about the other meaning in Wan Gaoyue's words, and said simply: "Please help me, mother!"

Wan Gaoyue didn't say anything. She just slowly mixed the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, took a sip of the hot tea, and then shook her head and said, "Zheng'er, how can I help you?"

"This is not difficult for mother. All we need to do is send someone to kill He Jian Chu Yun!"

At this time, the plot on the stage reached its climax, and the actors on the stage sang louder and louder. Wan Gaoyue's eyes lit up and he said, "Let's listen to the opera first."

"Mother..." Zhu Yanzheng opened his mouth, but for some reason, he gave up and could only follow Wan Gaoyue and watch the actors walking on the stage.

Out of sight, he clenched his fists again, his knuckles turning white, and he had no intention of paying attention to what play was being performed on the stage.

Soon, the climax of the play ended and the plot slowly came to an end. Seeing that Wan Gaoyue had not spoken yet, Zhu Yanzheng could not help but get anxious and shouted, "Mother, will you help me with this matter?"

When Zhu Yanzheng said this, his eyes were already somewhat fierce, but Wan Gaoyue glanced at him and did not directly answer the question. Instead, he asked: "Have you ever assassinated He Jian Chuyun? And failed?"

"Yes." He nodded, and his scalp felt numb when he thought of the scene where He Jianchuyun killed someone.

"That He Jian Chu Yun is no simple person. None of the people I brought with me could survive a single blow from her. She even wanted to kill her. I don't have anyone else to use. I only hope that mother can help me."

After saying this, Zhu Yanzheng stared at Wan Gaoyue.

But to his disappointment, Wan Gaoyue still shook his head.

"It's not right. After all, this is a feud between you and He Jian Chu Yun. It has nothing to do with other people. It's fine if you succeed on your own, but I have a special status. It would be too cheap to send someone to help you deal with that girl. Could it be that Zheng Er wants..."

Before Wan Gaoyue finished speaking, Zhu Yanzheng stood up and turned around to leave without hesitation, which made her pause. She looked at him helplessly and said, "Why are you so impatient, kid? Mother never said she wouldn't help you. Come back."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanzheng stopped walking, turned around and looked at her impatiently, and his tone became impolite when he spoke: "If you don't help me, then I'm wasting my time here!"

"Since you call me mother, it is natural for me to help you as my child, but I can't help you like this."

"How can I help? Please give me some advice, mother."

Wan Gaoyue drank another sip of tea slowly.

Zhu Yanzheng felt extremely annoyed by what he saw. He almost wanted to go up to the woman and slap her in the face, but he couldn't do that. There was really no other way. He could only force himself to calm down, looked around, and sat back in his chair.

After finishing the tea in the cup, Wan Gaoyue slowly said, "Zheng'er, I can understand that your brother was killed, and He Jianchuyun was the one who hated it the most, but do you know why nothing happened to her after the incident?"

Zhu Yanzheng had a thoughtful look on his face. He was not stupid and quickly thought of the so-called reason. He said, "Because of He Jianyanqiu?"

"Humph! Of course."

"So, mother, what you mean is...?"

"It's no use just thinking about killing He Jian Chu Yun. Since you can't kill her, why don't you think about doing something to other people?"

"Mother wants me to kill He Jian Yan Qiu?"

"Yes." Wan Gaoyue nodded, and this action shocked Zhu Yanzheng. His breathing became rapid. He hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you kidding? He Jianyanqiu is protected by two masters. With my cultivation level, how can I touch her?"

"That's true, but what if she doesn't have anyone to protect her?"

Zhu Yanzheng fell into deep thought. It was true that he couldn't do anything if there were experts around He Jian Yanqiu. But if there was no one around He Jian Yanqiu, it would be hard to say.

Tsurumi Yanqiu is Tsurumi Matsu's biological sister, but in terms of cultivation talent, there is a huge difference between her and Tsurumi Matsu. Until now, she has only reached the Pure Stage of Qi Condensation. If it weren't for Tsurumi Matsu, she would never have been able to take the position of the mistress of the Zhu family.

Although Zhu Yanzheng is young, his cultivation is one level higher than He Jian Yanqiu, so he has a great chance of winning if they meet on a narrow road.

"Zhu Yantao was killed, but He Jian Chu Yun was safe and sound. This is all due to He Jian Yan Qiu. Your father was concerned about her and couldn't do anything to He Jian Chu Yun. Even I am tied up in this Zhu family because of He Jian Yan Qiu. Zheng'er, you can't blame me if your mother doesn't help you directly. I also have difficulties, and the biggest difficulty is He Jian Yan Qiu. If she died, it would be easy for her to help you kill He Jian Chu Yun, right?"

Wan Gaoyue spoke earnestly, but Zhu Yanzheng looked at her deeply. He understood that the other party's biggest purpose in wanting him to kill He Jian Yanqiu was for herself, but what she said did not make sense. After all, he also knew something about He Jian Yanqiu taking back the Miyun Sugar Factory. This was indeed a trouble and the influence on the Zhu family was not small.

From his own point of view, it seems to be easier to get rid of Tsurumi Yanqiu and then deal with Tsurumi Hatsuun.

After all, in the Zhu family, everyone knows that He Jian Yanqiu is protecting his niece He Jian Chuyun. To deal with He Jian Chuyun in the Zhu family, one must first get past He Jian Yanqiu.

Now that He Jian Yan Qiu is gone, Wan Gaoyue can be the only one in charge of the Zhu family and it is easier for him to act. This is a fact.

"In this case, how should I kill He Jian Yan Qiu? Please give me some advice, mother."
