During this period, they also entered the Xianyun Sect several times under the leadership of Nangong Yue and met the amiable Sect Master Nangong.

They were all deceived by Sect Leader Nangong's hypocritical mask and were fooled by this evil woman.

Several times, they thought they had found the truth and the real culprit behind the disappearance of those monks.

But they didn't know that he was just a scapegoat found by this evil woman.

Until Sect Master Nangong set his sights on them. That time, they almost all died in Xianyun Sect. Fortunately, Luo Xueqing was alert and noticed something was wrong, so she didn't fall into the trap.

At that time, it was not easy for Luo Xueqing, Nangong Yue, Ji Miaoyan and several other girls to fight against the witch Nangong Ruyun.

In the multi-on-one fight, they could only hold on and did not gain any advantage.

In the end, it was Luo Xueqing's inner universe that exploded, and she paid the price to cheat, and only then was she able to defeat Sect Leader Nangong.

However, when they thought they had won, Sect Leader Nangong suddenly got up again.

Ji Miaoyan will never forget the scene of that woman turning into that huge monster bird.

Her beautiful exterior was torn apart from the inside, and the monster inside burst her skin and gradually swelled into a giant.

The monster grew feathers in a very short time, and the bulging tumors and blood vessels on its body made it look extremely ugly and hideous.

It roughly looks like a phoenix, but there is no phoenix in the world that is so ugly.

By then, they were already exhausted from standing and had no energy left to fight again.

As long as that ugly Ice Phoenix pounced on them, they would most likely die on the spot.

At the critical moment, it was Nangong Yue who stood up.

Although Ji Miaoyan usually felt that this woman always had a sour face and she didn't know who she was showing it to, but when it came to a matter of life and death, she was quite loyal.

She had to stop the huge monster bird by herself and buy time for them to escape.

Sister Xueqing refused to agree and insisted on taking her away with her.

It was Ji Miaoyan who acted decisively, knocked Luo Xueqing unconscious from behind, and then dragged her away.

At that time, she and Nangong Yue looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, it seemed like they had said thousands of words.

If she could meet Nangong Yue again, she would definitely not quarrel with her like she did in her previous life. In this life, she wanted to be a good friend and sister to Nangong Yue.

……

Zhao Kangping arrived at the courtyard house with the two women. When he was about to open the door, he looked behind him.

"Come out, you've been following us for a long time."

Chapter 174: Cold Poison Outbreak, Gift to the Steward

After Zhao Kangping and his friends went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, he found that someone was following him.

And there's more than one person.

The courtyard house he bought was located in a relatively quiet area, where mortals and low-level monks lived together.

Chuanliu City has its own city defense force, which is also responsible for the local public security. No one should dare to commit a crime in broad daylight.

But suddenly eight men in black jumped out in front of them.

Perhaps it was because of the handover between the old and new city lords that public security became somewhat lax.

What surprised Zhao Kangping the most was that all of these people were in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Zheng!~"

The eight men drew their swords almost at the same time, and their intentions were already very clear.

They all came from a special sect called Shadow Pavilion.

Rather than being a sect, they are more like a killer organization.

This sect has a very peculiar standard for recruiting new members. They do not look at spiritual roots, nor do they require special physical conditions. Instead, they value a person's perseverance and whether their heart is ruthless enough.

And they don't increase their membership by recruiting disciples.

They have close ties with some human trafficking organizations, and through human trafficking organizations in various places, they have collected many young children.

The Shadow Pavilion will train them from a young age, and when these children are fifteen years old, they will face a cruel test.

All the children will be thrown into a closed area, and no matter what means they use, only one person can leave there alive.

Only the one who survives by chance can officially become a member of the Shadow Pavilion and then be qualified to learn the Shadow Pavilion's skills.

These assassins from the Shadow Pavilion usually act alone. They rarely, and rarely, act in groups like this. This is because although they are from the same sect, they cannot get along well. Even if they are master and apprentice, they may become enemies the next day.

However, this time they dispatched eight people for one mission.

But this is not the strangest thing.

The employer actually made a request that even the Shadow Pavilion found puzzling.

The other party asked them to cripple Zhao Kangping without harming his life.

Eight assassins, just to cripple the future Lord of Chuanliu City, is an exaggeration no matter how you look at it.

But the employer was afraid that if not enough people came, the work wouldn't get done, so he wanted to send a few more.

It just so happened that the employer could afford the spirit stones, so he hired all eight of their sect's gold medal killers.

"Go!" One of the killers shouted, and eight swords came out at the same time.

however.

They didn't know that the blue-haired beauty next to Zhao Kangping was a big shot in the Nascent Soul stage.

Not only do they not know, I'm afraid even their employers don't know.

and so.

Nangong Ruyun just flicked her sleeves.

The wind and snow are coming.

Eight figures either leaped into the air or rushed over, each maintaining a different posture.

But they had only taken a few steps when their vision was enveloped by thick wind and snow, and then they turned into ice sculptures.

Especially those who jumped up, it would have been fine if they just turned into ice sculptures, but when they fell to the ground, the legs of the ice sculptures were shattered into pieces by the ruthless gravity.

They come and go in a hurry.

Zhao Kangping just wanted to ask, are these people here to make fun of us?

Unfortunately, all these people were dead, and no one could answer him. They were all killed instantly by Nangong Ruyun with a flick of his sleeve.

Zhao Kangping immediately sent the situation here to Dongfang Jingrou.

Then he began to peel off the ice shells on the dead bodies, looking for objects on them that could prove their identity.

However, they did not have anything on them except clothes and weapons, without even a storage ring.

There are no tattoos or any special markings on the body.

The most terrifying thing was that after the eight people took off their masks, all he saw was a face without any facial features.

If this happened at night, it would probably scare people to death.

"It's someone from the Shadow Pavilion." The experienced Nangong Ruyun saw something.

Only this killer organization uses a special ointment that can erase a person's facial features, and can also create the facial features they want.

She was very curious why this killer organization had not been completely wiped out.

A long time ago, the young master of a large sect was assassinated by the Shadow Pavilion. That large sect then joined forces with several other forces to besiege the Shadow Pavilion's stronghold.

It is said that all the members of the Shadow Pavilion there were killed.

This force was not seen again for a long time afterwards.

It could also be that they are cunning rabbits with three burrows, and after being run over like that once, they learned their lesson and knew to keep a low profile.

However, there are also rumors that there are traces of this organization on the overseas islands east of the Eastern Region.

Shadow Pavilion?

When Zhao Kangping heard these three words, he was stunned at first, and then quickly remembered this organization.

Wasn't this organization destroyed by Luo Xueqing and her men near the middle of the story?

Their current base is not on the overseas archipelago as rumored by the outside world, but somewhere in the Eastern Region.

Someone wants to kill him?

Zhao Kangping quickly thought of the group led by the former city lord.

I didn't expect them to take action so quickly.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that Aunt Yun was right next to him.

"Aunt Yun, I'm so sorry to have dragged you into this."

The Shadow Pavilion is vindictive, and Aunt Yun has killed so many of them, so she's probably going to be hated by the organization. However, she's a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, so she's afraid they won't be able to provoke her.

"Hmph, I don't even take the Shadow Pavilion seriously." The woman said this with high spirits, but her composure was broken in the next second.

"Cough, cough, cough!" She started coughing violently, her face turned pale and completely bloodless.

She used her ice magic power to stimulate the cold poison in her body.

The cold poison in the woman's body can no longer be suppressed.

She actually coughed out pieces of ice from her mouth, which looked very strange.

When Zhao Kangping saw this scene, he immediately panicked. He held Aunt Yun tightly, fearing that she would lose her balance.

"Auntie Yun, what's wrong with you?" His hand touched her body, and it was like touching a piece of solid ice that hadn't melted for a thousand years. It didn't have the elasticity a woman's body should have, but was instead hard and cold enough to freeze anyone who touched it.

Her body surface was quickly covered with a layer of white frost, which was very scary to look at. Not only that, he felt that Aunt Yun's body was constantly growing cold.

The ground where she was standing actually began to freeze.

"Cold, cold poison." She was already speaking incoherently.

He watched her body become stiff, and then turned into an ice sculpture while maintaining the same posture.

"Master, what's wrong with her?" Wan Baiyi, who was standing nearby, could feel the biting cold emanating from Nangong Ruyun. It was a cold that froze into the bone marrow.

Zhao Kangping was anxious, but he did not lose his composure.

The first thing he thought of was the pure yang energy in his body. After this pure yang energy left his body, it would turn into a blazing yang flame, which might be able to help Aunt Yun.

Just do it.

He took action immediately.

Under his drive, the pure yang energy in his body, which was slightly stronger than before, left his body.

Then I saw that breath turn into golden flames.

Zhao Kangping is already quite familiar with the control of pure Yang energy, and he can control the temperature of the flame very well.

Golden flames swirled around the two of them, enveloping them like a birdcage.

After Wan Baiyi saw the golden flame, for some reason, a trace of fear arose in the depths of her soul.

That is a kind of fear that monsters have of their natural enemies.

As if this golden flame could hurt her, her instinct told her to stay away from it.

In fact, this is a very suitable opportunity.

Zhao Kangping was busy with the rescue and had no time to take care of her.

If she suddenly attacks, it would be easy to succeed.

Yes, she always had other purposes in staying with Mr. Zhao.

However, the woman has a secret that cannot be told.

Her ruthless and unrighteous martial arts technique was incomplete, and it was still missing the last step.
