Destiny is ashes

Chapter 181 Lu Jin's Intelligence (33, additional chapters for both subscriptions)
This thought flashed through An Jing's mind, and he felt that it was feasible.

In addition, An Jing also noticed it.

There must be spies from the True Demon Cult in Lizhen Pawnshop and Youde Garden, so the news that he was buying and selling supplies and purchasing spiritual objects here would be spread and quickly attracted the attention of the Heavenly Demon Cult.

Now it seems that the news was leaked from Lizhen Pawnshop... The shopkeeper is very likely innocent, but the channel of the True Demon Cult is here.

Next, An Jing talked to the shopkeeper Li Zhen about the news about Chongyi Building, and learned a lot of information about Lu Jin from him.

Chongyi Building itself is a large chamber of commerce. There is no need to collect any intelligence about it. You can find out most of it just by talking to passers-by.

But some more detailed things can only be known in specific circles.

"Boss Lu is a pretty good guy, and most importantly, he's very capable."

During lunch break, Zhang and An Jing were drinking in the backyard while chatting about these topics: "He was a horse trader in Western Xinjiang. He was the kind of person who raised strong horses from the northwest together with the Chenli people and sold them to Dachen. He also has some Chenli blood in him."

"Once when he was herding horses, he encountered an accident. Several mountain tigers suddenly attacked the horses, causing the horses to riot. Most herders could only save their own lives at this time, but Old Man Lu was aroused with courage. He rode his horses to charge forward, trampled a mountain tiger to death, and drove the other one back to the mountain."

"This is obviously extraordinary. After hearing about this, the big boss behind him personally met with him and knew that he had awakened the fate of 'controlling beasts'."

At this point, Shopkeeper Zhang took a sip of wine, holding the wine glass with an envious look on his face.

Even though the fate of taming beasts is just a mixed fate, it is better to have it than not to have it. The reason why Lu Jin was able to cultivate to inner strength is because of this fate.

——The life of taming beasts?

When An Jing heard this, he thought of the golden bear fur that was bought by Chongyi Building. He pretended to be casual and asked casually: "No wonder Boss Lu bought the golden bear fur. This is probably due to his fate or his cultivation method."

"is not that right."

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile, "He is learning the 'Five Beasts Worshipping God Fist', which requires him to imitate the true meaning of the five beasts: tiger, wolf, bear, leopard and ape. The mountain tiger that he trampled to death when his fate was awakened became the basis for his entry."

"I've seen him defend the city and drive away ferocious beasts. His move, Fierce Tiger Leaping Over the Ravine, was even more ferocious than a real mountain tiger. He killed the ferocious tiger with just one punch."

“But maybe it’s because Tiger Form is too fierce, and Old Lu has too many hidden injuries from the battle, so he’s not too old for Nei Zhuang, but he’s already as old as he is now… But who knows if he can break through his martial veins? Although the best time has passed, if he can break through, our Kanming City will be a blessed place with two guardian masters!”

At this point, Shopkeeper Zhang was a little proud: "As for now, Boss Lu is probably copying the golden-haired bear and improving his bear-like skills."

Now the intelligence is complete. An Jing nodded silently.

These things are not confidential.

Everyone who is familiar with Lu Jin knows about his martial arts and fate, and it has never been kept secret. However, for outsiders who are not well-informed, it is a secret that cannot be obtained.

If asked, even ordinary people would feel that something is wrong and that there is another purpose.

Fortunately, An Jing has entered this small circle, so he can get these key information.

——He has the fate of taming beasts, and is good at tiger-shaped fist. He fought fiercely when he was young and therefore aged prematurely, so he joined the Heavenly Demon Sect... However, he has regained his youth through a blood sacrifice, and his fighting power should have returned to its peak now.

——Lu Jin himself also has some Chenli blood, which is probably why he was able to contact the surrounding Chenli tribes and let them stand by and watch.

——It is best not to engage in close combat, but to suppress with magical weapons. If you must engage in close combat, use force rather than tricks.

After writing down all the information, An Jing gradually formed a complete image of Lu Jin in his mind, and he also had a general understanding of the opponent's fighting style.

"We are now in the city, and the beast-taming fate should not be of much use, but we cannot rule out the possibility that Chongyi Tower has some small ferocious beasts. Maybe there are three inner strong men in Chongyi Tower, and one of them is an inner strong ferocious beast." An Jing concluded in his mind: "And the Five Beasts Worshiping God Fist, I remember it is a widely circulated inner strong martial art. If Lu Jin really wants to break through the martial veins, it proves that he must have other skills, either taught by the Heavenly Demon or precious medicine. This must be his trump card, so be careful."

Even though An Jing had a rough estimate of the enemy's cards before, it became clearer after having specific information.

An Jing pretended to be very respectful of Lu Jin. After chatting about his past for a while, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Manager Zhang.

"Well, come back next time, Master Xuan. I'll be waiting for you to redeem your precious mirror!"

Shopkeeper Zhang stood up and said goodbye to An Jing who also stood up and prepared to leave. The atmosphere on both sides was very happy.

But suddenly, An Jing, who had already turned around, had a sudden change of expression.

"Who is it! Eavesdropping on the conversation!"

With a loud shout, An Jing turned his head back abruptly, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he leaped up like a tiger or leopard, heading straight for the corner at the edge of the backyard.

Whoosh! With a sound of breaking through the air, he reached out with one hand and grabbed the shoulder of a fellow who was sneaking around, thinking he was silent, and was about to turn around and run away.

“Master, I didn’t steal…Ahhhhhh!!”

With one hand on his shoulder, An Jing exerted force in his hand, directly stimulating the guy's shoulder blades and back tendons, instantly making the guy scream wildly, and instinctively turned around and punched him with all his strength.

The force of this punch was so fierce that it had the power to break the air. It was obvious that he had reached the state of having internal energy as strong as a river!

But An Jing didn't care at all and easily dodged the attack, allowing the opponent's punch to break the screen, causing the wall to shake, revealing the astonished face of Manager Zhang behind the screen.

Immediately afterwards, An Jing raised his hands and easily dislocated the opponent's arm joints at a speed that was impossible to see.

"Xiao Liu?!"

Shopkeeper Zhang also has martial arts skills, but he is only at the martial arts apprentice level and has not yet reached the inner breath. At first, he was surprised why An Jing reacted so strongly, but after seeing the punch from the waiter, his expression suddenly changed: "You actually have such good martial arts?!"

Soon, he gritted his teeth and said, "No... Who are you?! Why are you lurking in this store and eavesdropping on the conversation between Master Jing and me!"

He didn't understand it at first, but Manager Zhang was a manager after all, so he naturally understood everything - his employee Xiao Liu was actually a spy from other forces from the very beginning!

But why? The Lizhen Chamber of Commerce behind the Lizhen Pawnshop is quite powerful, but is the pawnshop in Kanming City really just a small business?

Could it be that……

"Manager Zhang, I have had my suspicions for a long time!"

At this moment, An Jing personally expressed Zhang's conjecture. He stepped on the head of Xiao Liu, who was rolling on the ground and howling in pain, and sneered, "I just sold the talisman to you, and I was immediately targeted by the human traffickers. This is obviously not normal!"

"I believe in the reputation of Lizhen Pawnshop and you, the shopkeeper, so there must be some bad guys behind this. I came here specially to fish, but I didn't expect to actually catch anything!"

"Sorry, sorry for making fun of me, Master Jing..."

Shopkeeper Zhang's expression could no longer be described as ugly, it could only be described as embarrassed.

His face twitched, and he gritted his teeth as he walked to Xiao Liu, whose head was being stepped on by An Jing, and said viciously, "I never thought that someone would sneak into the pawnshop just to ambush a big customer like you... We at Lizhen Pawnshop never force sales, and we never target any customers, but we were taken advantage of by these evil people!"
