"Tell me what happened again!"

Dai Jin said with a gloomy face.

He half-knelt in front of Lu Dashou's body, confidently observing the wounds on Lu Dashou's body.

Killed with one blow, quick and clean.

The strength of the person who made the move was at least at the Perfect Blood Exchange Stage.

Moreover, the remaining sword intent on the wound was as heavy as a mountain.

It is the artistic conception of Genshan!
He completed his cultivation by exchanging blood and comprehended the artistic conception of Genshan. When did such a master appear in Wuling City?
When Dai Jin received the news of Lu Dashou's death, he immediately suspected that Su Mu was murdering him to silence him!
Lu Dashou had been investigating Su Mu's affairs for some time, and now he died suddenly. It was possible that he had found out something and was killed by Su Mu to silence him.

But after arriving at the scene and seeing Lu Dashou's body, Dai Jin's doubts disappeared.

Su Mu's blood transfusion was not perfect, and the artistic conception that Su Mu mastered was the Kan water artistic conception and the Xun wind artistic conception, not the Gen mountain artistic conception.

"Sir, the one who killed Lord Lu was the Silver-Faced Killer from the Golden Wind Tower. We all saw it..."

A wealthy businessman tremblingly recounted the entire incident.

They just wanted to host a banquet for Lu Dashou and build some relationships with these big shots, but they never expected to encounter something like this.

They now just feel extremely unlucky, not only did they fail to establish a relationship, but they got into trouble instead.

"You're saying that my Junior Brother Lu was forcing a geisha and was suddenly assassinated?"

Dai Jin frowned and said, "Where is the geisha?"

Dai Jin had already started cursing in his heart.

Lu Dashou is such a bastard who is always causing trouble. At a time like this, he still has the mind to pester a woman! It would be a waste of his life if he died!
"Xiang Dajia is a famous music master in Wuling City. She sells her art but not her body. Everyone knows this. Lord Lu may have taken a fancy to Xiang Dajia, so -"

A wealthy businessman whispered, "She fainted from shock just now, so we sent her to the clinic."

"Humph!"

Dai Jin snorted coldly, but didn't take the geisha seriously.

"Golden Wind Tower..."

Dai Jin gritted his teeth and said.

I have been in Wuling City for so long, but the cause of Junior Brother Feng's death has not been found out yet, and the Taiping Division has not suppressed the case. Not only have I lost face, but now Junior Brother Lu is dead. It's really a bad start.

Who on earth sent the assassins from Jinfeng Tower to assassinate Junior Brother Lu?

The power of Jinfeng Tower is no less than that of Shennong Baicao Sect. Even he can't do anything to Jinfeng Tower.

It is almost impossible to find out from Jinfenglou who is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Jinfeng Tower does the work for money, but there is someone else who really wants Junior Brother Lu to die.

"Just wait for me. When I suppress the Wuling Taiping Division, Wuling City will be ruled by the Supervision Division. By then, I will make sure that your Jinfeng Tower will have no place to stand in Wuling City!"

Dai Jin secretly hated this in his heart.

He waved his hand, ordered his men to take away Lu Dashou's body, and left in anger.

A group of wealthy businessmen bent over to send them ashore, and they did not stand up until the backs of Dai Jin and others disappeared.

"Bah! What the hell is that!"

A wealthy businessman spat, "Calling you sir is just giving you face, but you really think you are someone and come to our Wuling City to show off your power!"

"Damn it, you think our Wuling City is easy to bully."

Another wealthy businessman also spat, with a look of disdain, "Those who come from the provincial government think you're so great? The reason why Wuling City is what it is today is because of the Taiping Division's desperate efforts. What did they do?
A pervert who wants to force everyone. When everyone is on the city wall to boost morale, where is this bastard?"

"A good death!"

Everyone spat, their faces full of disdain, without any trace of the humbleness they had shown before.

"Brothers, who hired the assassins from Jinfeng Tower? Why didn't they invite us? You can't pay for this alone, you have to include me in your share. I've disliked that guy surnamed Lu for a long time. Lao Zhang just said one word and he kicked him into the river. He doesn't treat us as human beings!"

A wealthy businessman suddenly said.

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had thought of something.

"Miss, those wealthy businessmen did not betray us."

Xiang Xiaoyuan had already prepared to travel around the world. At daybreak, her personal maid who had gone out to get information came back and whispered.

"President Wang of the Inner City Chamber of Commerce said that when facing the Level 5 demon tide, Miss, you played the broken pipa on the top of the city. The people of Wuling City are indebted to you and they will not let outsiders bully you."

I gently lowered my head towards Xiaoyuan. It was an unintentional act, but I never expected that I would reap the rewards today.

The knife last night was Pojun.

is it him?
He saved me again.

…………

The sky was bright and cloudless.

Su Mu stretched and felt refreshed and in a good mood.

I swatted a fly and got back 70% of the money I spent. I slept much better last night.

With a smile on his face, he ate the breakfast brought by the servant while calling up the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Silver-faced assassin (concurrently), Taiping Commander (seventh rank)]

[Points: 10200 points]

[Realm: Blood Exchange Realm (Body Tempering Extreme Realm)]

[Magic Power: Immortal Golden Body]

[Kung Fu: Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Method (Perfect)...]

[Martial Arts: Kan Water Artistic Conception (Great Success), Xun Wind Artistic Conception (Great Success), Gen Mountain Artistic Conception (Minor Success/+), Archery (Perfect)]

Seeing the contents on the system panel, Su Mu couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

After killing Lu Dashou last night, he came back and went straight to bed without checking the system panel.

Unexpectedly, the system panel gave me such a big surprise!
Before the action last night, there were only 6,700 points on the system panel.

In other words, he earned 3,500 points overnight!
Excluding the points brought by the Taiping Duwei, the part-time job of Silver-faced Killer should have brought in about three thousand points.

This result made Su Mu feel like becoming a professional killer.

The profit is really too much.

No wonder so many people like to make money through illegal means and take evil paths.

The endless emergence of evil warriors and the repeated failure to stop despite repeated bans is also related to this.

Killing people for points is no different from being a demon.

"A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. I am not a bloodthirsty devil. I kill people because they force me to do so."

Su Mu murmured to himself.

"Ten thousand and two hundred points..."

Su Mu took some time to calm down and put his attention back on the business. "It is possible to raise the state of mind of Genshan to the state of great success."

There is a huge gap between the artistic conception of great success and the artistic conception of minor success. Under the same level of cultivation, a warrior who has mastered the artistic conception of great success is at least twice as strong as a warrior who has only mastered the artistic conception of minor success.

If the artistic conception of Genshan is fully developed, the strength of the identity of "Jing Ke" will be greatly improved, and he will be able to act more calmly.

The thought moved him slightly, and Su Mu clicked on the system panel without hesitation.

hum!
In an instant, Su Mu felt the scene in front of him changed.

He seemed to have returned to the beginning of the world, with the vast land before him.

Suddenly, with a roar, the earth began to rise.

A moment later, a towering mountain appeared between heaven and earth.

Thick and steady.

A calming force emanated from him. Su Mu looked at the mountain and felt that beneath the still surface of the mountain, there was a huge power. It was like the calm before a volcanic eruption, seemingly calm, but actually containing infinite potential.

The artistic conception of Genshan is not only heavy, but also ready to go.

Su Mu understood something in his heart.

Above the thickness, there is an explosion.

Although the mountain is thick, once it erupts, the flash flood will have the power to destroy the world.

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, and the content on the system panel had changed quietly.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Silver-faced assassin (concurrently), Taiping Commander (seventh rank)]

[Points: 200 points]

[Realm: Blood Exchange Realm (Body Tempering Extreme Realm)]

[Magic Power: Immortal Golden Body]

[Kung Fu: Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Method (Perfect)...]

[Martial Arts: Kan Water Conception (Great Success), Xun Wind Conception (Great Success), Gen Mountain Conception (Great Success), Archery (Perfect)]

The artistic conception of Genshan is perfect.

…………

The old barrel maker looked at the orders in front of him and began to doubt his life.

Wuling City is a small place, and the branch of Jinfeng Tower here does not have much business on weekdays.

Naturally, the money he could make as a manager was far less than what those in charge of big cities could make.

What's wrong with this now?
"Inspector...what on earth did these people do that angered the heavens and the people, that so many people want them dead..."

The old barrel hooper muttered to himself, "Hey, Jinfenglou does things for money, and since the customers paid, they should be damned.

A few Blood Exchange Realm Supervisors would be fine, the newcomer Jing Ke's strength would be enough to deal with them, but Dai Jin is at the True Essence Realm, so a Golden Face Killer is needed."

He thought for a moment and finally decided to hand in the order to assassinate Dai Jin and ask his superiors to find a golden-faced killer to carry out the task.

As for the other orders, just keep them. He can have a good year this year.

"Then Jing Ke is worthy of training. His blood transfusion is complete, and his Genshan artistic conception is a little successful. He completed the task neatly on his first move. With a little training, he may become the face of our Wuling branch."

The old barrel hooper chuckled and said, this is definitely a cash cow.

…………

"Is there anyone else who wants the Inspector to die?"

When Su Mu received the message from the old barrel maker, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Supervisory Commissioners Wu Keguang, Jia Ren, Du Yuehua..."

With a rub of his palms, the paper shattered immediately.

Su Mu recalled the message on the note.

Dai Jin brought a total of four people with him when he came to Wuling City this time.

Except for Lu Dashou who had already died, the names of the other three inspectors appeared on the assassination list.

"Dai Jin is at the True Essence Realm, but the rest are only at the Blood Exchange Realm."

Su Mu thought to himself, "He used another identity to place an assassination order at Jinfeng Tower to buy Lu Dashou's life. Jinfeng Tower offered a price of 100,000 taels."

One hundred thousand taels is a bit expensive to assassinate a warrior in the Blood Exchange Realm, but considering that Lu Dashou is the Inspector General of the Supervisory Department and Jinfeng Tower will be in a lot of trouble afterwards, one hundred thousand taels is also a reasonable price.

After Su Mu gave out the 100,000 taels, he only got back 70,000 taels.

With all the money in and out, Jinfeng Tower made a profit of 30,000 taels.

According to Su Mu's plan, he will continue to place orders with Jinfeng Tower, and then take over as Jing Ke.

Although this will result in a loss of money, it is safer.

Having Jinfenglou take the blame will save a lot of trouble and it is worth spending some money.

But before he could continue, someone actually offered to buy the Inspector's life.

"How many people have these people offended?"

Su Mu murmured to himself.

According to the news, several customers offered to buy their lives at the same time, and the order amount for each person was as high as 200,000 or 300,000 taels.

In other words, assassinating an inspector can now earn you two or three paychecks.

"I originally just wanted to kill someone, but I didn't expect to make a fortune."

Su Mu talked to himself.

What should I do if I have too much money and can’t spend it all?
The corner of Su Mu's mouth slightly raised. How could he refuse the money and points that were delivered to his door?
…………

The Supervisory Office did not have an office in Wuling City.

Dai Jin bought a house and temporarily used it as the office of the Supervisory Office.

The Shennong Herb Sect was famous for its wealth. The house that Dai Jin bought was the residence of the He family, one of the four major families in the inner city, and it covered a vast area.

"Sir, who did Junior Brother Lu offend?"

In a room in the backyard, Wu Keguang spoke with some uneasiness in his eyes.

What is the identity of being a true disciple of Shennong Baicao Sect?
Even in the great Xuan capital city, they could be guests of honor of the kings and princes.

Who wouldn’t want to buy elixirs from Shennong Baicao Sect?
It has been many years since a disciple of Shennong Baicao Sect was killed.

But ever since the Shennong Herb Sect decided to enter the imperial court, things seemed to have changed.

First it was Junior Brother Feng, and now it’s Junior Brother Lu.

Who will be next?

"It's not that Junior Brother Lu offended anyone."

Dai Jin said coldly, "The other party is coming for the Supervisory Department.

The imperial court has set up the Supervisory Office, and our Shennong Baicao Sect and several other forces have moved in. There are bound to be some people who don't like us.

They think that we, the Shennong Herb Sect, should work like slaves and make elixirs for them."

He snorted coldly. Why should Shennong Baicao Sect be inferior to others?
"It was within our expectations that the Ombudsman would encounter this kind of problem when it was established."

Dai Jin continued, "No one wants to see a second Taiping Division appear, but the Supervisory Division is a grand trend that no one can stop.

These people only dare to use such despicable means to assassinate us."

But this method is very useful.

Wu Keguang and the other two said to themselves.

Senior Brother Dai is at the True Yuan Realm, so he is not afraid of assassination. The three of them are at the Blood Exchange Realm, and are only slightly stronger than Junior Brother Lu Dashou.

"You don't have to worry. I was careless about Junior Brother Lu's matter."

Dai Jin sneered and said, "The assassin who assassinated Junior Brother Lu should be the trump card of the Wuling branch of Jinfeng Tower. Is it amazing that he has achieved a small level of Genshan artistic conception?
I have three sets of black gold inner armor here, which were given to me by the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Unless one has a high level of artistic conception, it is absolutely impossible to break their defense.

You three put it on, if that killer comes again, you only need to delay him for a moment, and I can make him come back without a chance to return!"

He looked confident.

Judging from the wounds on Lu Dashou's body, his Genshan realm was only at a small level, and his strength was only at the blood exchange level.

His three junior brothers were also at the Blood Exchange Stage and had the Black Gold Inner Armor on them. As long as they were not killed in one blow, they would be able to hold the opponent back for a while.

By then I will be able to rush over, and with my own strength, killing a killer in the blood exchange realm will be a piece of cake!
