You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"What did you say? This good-for-nothing, he accepted a mission to hunt monsters." Su Daqiang frowned upon hearing the report from his menial disciple.

"Sir, Chen Huai'an accepted a mission and left at this critical juncture. He's deliberately trying to avoid you!" the servant disciple said with a fawning smile.

Su Daqiang knew, of course, that Chen Huai'an had taken on menial tasks and left the sect at this critical juncture precisely to avoid him.

"It's a pity I didn't know this little bastard was leaving the sect sooner. Otherwise, I could have stopped him and killed him," Su Daqiang said with some annoyance.

"Now we can only see if Wanying's suitors are strong enough to take down Chen Huai'an on the way. That would be a great relief for me."

Before long, disciples at the Qi Refining Realm accepted missions to hunt demonic beasts and left the Qingyun Sect.

These people were the attendants and followers sent by Su Wanying's suitors.

They themselves would not take action, because a piece of trash like Chen Huai'an was not worth their personal attention. No matter how high Chen Huai'an's ranking was on the Spirit Ranking, he was just an ant in the eyes of those outer disciples at the Qi Refining stage.

There were many menial disciples on the Miscellaneous Service Peak. Chen Huai'an changed his appearance and was not worried about being recognized. In the evening, he found his way to Su Daqiang's residence.

Although Su Daqiang was just an ordinary person, he had a powerful background, so he could boss around those more powerful servants and disciples. No one dared to be dissatisfied; instead, they tried every means to curry favor with him.

This guy was really careful. He observed the guy for a long time but never saw him alone. There was always someone carefully serving him.

To assassinate Su Daqiang, they needed to find an opportunity for Su Daqiang to be alone, but Chen Huai'an didn't want to waste a lot of time on this.

To avoid arousing suspicion, it would be best if someone witnessed him killing Su Daqiang, which would clear him of suspicion.

After observing for a day, Chen Huai'an found the best time to strike: night. The handymen disciples he was in charge of during the day had all worked hard and were exhausted. At night, their vigilance would be low, and there wouldn't be many handymen disciples protecting him.

At this point, if he makes a move, the success rate is 100%.

However, this is on the premise that there are no disciples at the Qi Refining stage protecting Su Daqiang.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A servant disciple outside Su Daqiang's door spotted Chen Huai'an and immediately looked at him warily.

Chen Huai'an had already prepared a response. "Hello, is this where Deacon Su lives? I have important information to report to him."

"Important information? What important information?" Before the servant disciple could speak, Su Daqiang, who was inside the room, heard the commotion and quickly poked his head out to ask.

"My lord, I have news of Chen Huai'an," Chen Huai'an said hurriedly.

Chen Huai'an's plan was simple: risk his life to get close to Su Daqiang using his information, thus creating an opportunity to be alone with him, eliminate him in one fell swoop, and then escape.

"News about Chen Huai'an? You have news about Chen Huai'an? Is it true?" Su Daqiang asked, his face beaming with surprise.

These past few days, he's been dreaming of killing Chen Huai'an. Unfortunately, he hasn't heard from Chen Huai'an at all. All he knows is that this guy took on a mission to hunt demonic beasts and left the Qingyun Sect in order to avoid him. If this guy really dies in the mouth of a demonic beast, that would be a happy thing for everyone.

But what he was most worried about was that this guy was lucky and didn't die in the mouth of the monster. Instead, he had a chance to break through to the Qi Refining Realm, which would give him a chance to get close to Su Wanying.

"My lord, the benefits you mentioned are truly remarkable." Chen Huai'an rubbed his hands together, looking at the other party with anticipation.

"Don't worry, as long as the news is true, you'll get your share of the benefits." Su Daqiang waved his hand dismissively. These menial disciples were as obedient as dogs as long as they were given some benefits.

"Sir, I just returned from the Qingyun Mountains. I saw him on the way. I know where he is. If you send someone there now, you should be able to find him," Chen Huai'an said with a smile, because he was only ten steps away from Su Daqiang.

"You really met Chen Huai'an?" Su Daqiang was overjoyed. The sooner he got rid of Chen Huai'an, the more relaxed he would be, and he wouldn't have to live in constant fear of Chen Huai'an's revenge.

"Sir, I was..." Chen Huai'an said as he slowly stepped forward, behaving very naturally, trying to get closer to Su Daqiang and improve their relationship.

Before Chen Huai'an could finish speaking, Su Daqiang pressed him impatiently, "Where have you seen Chen Huai'an before? Tell me quickly."

"Pfft!"

Just as Chen Huai'an was about to approach Su Daqiang, a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, which he plunged into the man's heart.

Crimson blood gushed out, and Su Daqiang's eyes widened in shock.

Before Su Daqiang could scream, Chen Huai'an slashed at Su Daqiang's neck with a dagger again.

The sudden turn of events terrified the nearby handyman disciple, who immediately cried out, "Murder! Murder! Someone is trying to assassinate Steward Su!"

"Die!" Chen Huai'an immediately brandished his dagger and stabbed at the servant disciple, intending to kill him to silence him.

After a brief moment of shock, the servant disciple immediately launched an attack on Chen Huai'an.

If Steward Su dies right under their noses, they will also be punished by the sect.

Chen Huai'an controlled his power and exchanged a few blows with the servant disciple who was at the seventh level of the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm. Then he pretended to be no match for the opponent and fled down the mountain.

"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin! Someone is trying to assassinate Steward Su!" Shouts of alarm rose and fell throughout the courtyard. Soon, torches were lit in the dark courtyard, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

"What? Steward Su is dead? How is that possible?" Soon, the handymen disciples discovered that Su Daqiang was lying in a pool of blood, beyond saving.

"Sir, it really was a menial disciple at the seventh level of the late Body Refinement Realm. He killed Steward Su." The menial disciple at the scene hurriedly reported to the enforcement disciple who had come upon hearing the news.

Su Daqiang died just like that, stabbed to death in public. Who? Who did it?

Many people want to know who had the audacity to kill Su Daqiang. Didn't they know that Su Daqiang was a special person, Su Wanying's uncle?

Anyone who dares to touch Su Daqiang is offending Su Wanying, the sect leader's personal disciple.

"Do you think the murderer could be Chen Huai'an?" a servant disciple suddenly asked.

"You're talking nonsense! How could it be Chen Huai'an? I saw with my own eyes that it wasn't Chen Huai'an who assassinated Steward Su!" The handyman disciple at the scene immediately shouted.

Is he blind? How could it be Chen Huai'an who assassinated Su Daqiang? Even if Chen Huai'an had a hundred times the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to appear in front of Su Daqiang.

At this moment, in order to avoid Su Daqiang's targeting, Chen Huai'an had already accepted a mission to hunt demonic beasts and left Qingyun Sect, which was witnessed by several menial disciples.

So who is this murderer? Why did he want to assassinate Su Daqiang?

This is something that many of the handyman disciples can't understand. These handyman disciples on the Handyman Peak know Su Daqiang's background, so all they can do is fawn over him.

No one would be so foolish as to assassinate Su Daqiang; if they killed him, they would not be able to escape unscathed.
