Chapter 119 The killer is dispatched

Nothing happened that night, and we set out on our journey again early the next morning.

Aunt Lu was a little silent today, but she was not a talkative person, so no one noticed anything unusual about her today.

After a morning, they had left the jurisdiction of Wuhun City, but there were other pedestrians on the road, so Aunt Lu could use this as an excuse not to take action.

They followed other pedestrians and walked slowly, arriving at the next town in the afternoon. There were more people when they arrived in the city, and Aunt Lu could still use this as an excuse not to take action.

They found a hotel to stay in, with Xue Mo and Qin Ming staying in one room. Although they could assassinate at night, a six-year-old Soul Sect and a twelve-year-old Soul Sect combined would only be killed by her in seconds. However, if they made some noise, she might be exposed, which would lead to the failure of the operation. She could still use this as an excuse not to do it...

Aunt Lu found all kinds of excuses not to take action, but what she needed now was not an excuse not to take action, but an excuse for the failure of the action.

Even though Qian Xunji might not be convinced by this excuse, he is useful to Qian Xunji now. As long as this excuse is not too outrageous, he can temporarily save Xue Mo's life and get away with it.

However, she never got the excuse she wanted until they set out on their journey again.

Is the only option left to me to disobey orders? Then what's the point of being an undercover agent?
It should have been a surprising and secret move, but in the end it was just to take care of the young master for a while and pass on some insignificant information to Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji. It didn't play any role at all, which really made her feel unwilling.

Finally, on the third night after they set out, she saw the man in black again.

In the night, the black-robed man hiding under the tree said, "I don't mean to blame you, but aren't you a little too slow? There were many good opportunities to take action along the way, why didn't you take action until now?"

Aunt Lu held the two children who had been knocked unconscious by her again in her arms and said in a very calm tone: "I like children. His Holiness the Pope knows this very well. I want to find an opportunity that will not harm the two children. It would be best if I can continue to be their mother afterwards. Is there a problem?"

The man in black robe said, "The Pope has already promised you that after the matter is completed, he can arrange for you to live in anonymity in a place where no one can find you. There, His Holiness will give you as many children as you want. Why do you have to be obsessed with these two children?"

Aunt Lu said, "Since you can give as many children as you want, is there anything wrong with me wanting both of them?"

The black-robed man's tone was obviously filled with dissatisfaction: "Are you planning to disobey the orders of His Holiness the Pope?"

Aunt Lu said, "I suggest you use your brain a little when you doubt me. Why didn't His Majesty let you carry out the mission of assassinating Qian Renmo, but let me do it? What qualifications do you have to question His Majesty's judgment? If you really suspect that I betrayed His Majesty, you can do it yourself. I won't stop you, and I will not be responsible for the consequences."

The man in black robe seemed to be angry and said: "Okay! In that case, I will gladly accept this tremendous credit!"

After saying that, he ran towards Xue Mo and the others' temporary camp.

Aunt Lu was horrified and hurriedly chased after him with the child in her arms.

She knew that Qian Xunji had started raising death warriors a long time ago, and many of them were orphans adopted by the Spirit Hall since childhood. However, this group of death warriors had never been used, and almost no one knew who they were or where they were.

The mission of assassinating the Spirit Hall's eldest young master, which theoretically means death regardless of success or failure, should have been completed by a death squad. However, Qian Xunji did not use the death squad, but asked her to carry out the mission. The reason was either that Qian Xunji began to distrust her and planned to abandon her, or that he was temporarily unable to use the death squad for some reason.

She judged that the latter was more likely, because she was unlikely to be exposed. Even if she was exposed, it was more likely that Qianxunji would find out that she was also working for Qian Daoliu. If Qianxunji found out that she was Qian Daoliu's confidant, it would be even more unlikely that he would let her carry out the assassination plan. In the case that the death squad could not be mobilized, and he had to use his own hidden chess piece, Qianxunji could not afford the loss of any of his men. In order to reduce the risk, he should forbid anyone except himself to take action.

But why did this man in black robes prepare to attack the young master without hesitation after hearing what he said? Was he testing him?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, I must stop him. No matter what, the young master must not be in any danger!
The man in black robe was very fast and arrived near the camp in almost the blink of an eye.

Xue Mo, who was practicing martial arts, sensed a murderous intent and immediately summoned his martial soul. The sword box fell to the ground and opened. A pitch-black sword popped out and fell into Xue Mo's hands.

"who!"

Qin Ming, who also felt someone approaching, was immediately possessed by his martial spirit, and a fiery red holy flame instantly ignited on his body.

"Get out!"

Xue Mo shouted loudly, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands. The black soul ring emitted bursts of faint light, and the fourth soul skill "Absolute Resistance" was added to the sword. Then he rushed forward with a brisk step.

It all happened too fast, because of Xue Mo's shouting, Qin Ming was stunned for a second and immediately wanted to use his second soul skill, Holy Flame Rush, to catch up. But it was too late, his second soul ring had just lit up, and the man in black was about to rush in front of Xue Mo!

Just as the two sides were about to make contact, a cold low voice suddenly sounded: "Fourth soul skill, cold fangs!"

A pair of dark green fangs formed by soul power flew towards him at a speed that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. The man in black robe waved his hand and shattered the fangs. The other hand that was originally prepared to attack also waved his arm to shake off Xue Mo's sword.

However, Xue Mo's sword strangely pierced through his arm and stabbed into his body.

The man in black robe suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, and his mind was in a trance for a moment. He immediately jumped back to avoid Xue Mo's follow-up attack. He glanced at the direction where the fangs were flying from. The shadow of a green-scaled snake king had already taken shape, and it seemed that it would soon become real.

That was the true form of the Green Scaled Snake King's martial spirit.

"Dugu Xin!"

The man in black robe recognized the person and immediately flew away without further harassment.

Xue Mo looked at the direction the other party escaped and frowned slightly.

He did think that Qian Xunji might send someone to kill him, but why did he feel that the person he sent didn't seem to be eager to take action?

From the time he rushed over to the time he escaped, he never used his martial soul, nor did he reveal his soul ring. His speed was so fast without the support of soul skills. He should be a quick attack soul master. If he had the support of soul skills, he should be even faster, and there is a high possibility that he would kill me before I could react.

The possibility of being afraid of revealing his identity by using his martial spirit was almost zero. If he was afraid of revealing his identity, wouldn't he just kill everyone present? He would have such a strange behavior, except that he didn't really want to kill himself. There seemed to be no other possibility.

So who is that person? What is his purpose?
