The road is vague

Chapter 474 Zhu Xian
The First Seven Organization, established by Ying Shi, may not be the most powerful among the many secret organizations in the Central Plains, but it is certainly the most rigorous and secretive.

The entire assassin organization is like a pyramid.

Ying Shi's power tentacles extended from the Great Qian Kingdom to various countries in the Central Plains.

Now, Li Mo has completely taken control of the top of this pyramid through the "Dark Thunder Heavenly Book" and has learned the specific details of the system's structure from Dark Thunder.

He was immediately amazed by the size and secrecy of the organization.

A small medical organization is indeed insignificant in the face of the seventh day after death.

Currently, the medical organization is only dealing with the second-level branches of the First Seventh Organization in the seven kingdoms, as well as more than twenty third-level branches.

Within the power structure of the First Seven Days Organization, there are as many as ten such secondary branches.

Besides the veteran assassin, the First Seven Organization has two top-tier assassins.

Gu Yue, who had given Li Mo quite a hard time back then, has been eliminated. Now, this last top-tier assassin possesses all the characteristics of an assassin: adept at hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike. When he does strike, it will be earth-shattering.

same.

If he were to face off against cultivators of the same level, he would most likely end up losing.

None of the top assassins have Taoist names; they only have code names within the organization. The last top assassin was codenamed "Zhu Xian" (诛仙).

Zhu Xian is a person who prefers to work silently.

Compared to Gu Yue's illustrious career within the First Seven Organization, Zhu Xian was virtually unknown within the organization before advancing to the Golden Core stage, standing out among countless low-level assassins.

until one day.

Ying Shi obtained the blueprint for the Immortal-Slaying Pearl from a sect in the Tianyuan Highlands. He eventually discovered this genius prop master within the organization and promoted him to become a rare prop master in the Central Plains. Ying Shi personally bestowed upon him the codename "Slaying Immortals".

All kinds of items have the characteristic of being able to be activated without the need for spiritual power.

Therefore, when using items in battle, there are often no warning signs of spiritual pressure, making it difficult to defend against.

After completing many seemingly impossible tasks, Zhu Xian eventually became the top assassin of the First Seven Organization. At this moment, this top assassin is in a secret base in Liangzhou, Qian Kingdom, holding his breath and concentrating on refining a treasure.

"We must refine the second Immortal-Slaying Pearl for our teacher as soon as possible."

Refining the Immortal-Slaying Pearl is by no means an easy task.

This requires condensing and refining forty-nine types of Yang Fire and forty-nine types of Yin Fire in a special way, and then harmonizing them with a high-grade Wind Spirit Stone, in order to have a chance to refine the legendary Immortal-Slaying Pearl.

Not to mention that the various materials required to refine the Immortal-Slaying Pearl are far beyond what an individual can gather, the complicated refining process takes at least three years to integrate them all. Even as a master of artifacts in the game "Zhu Xian," one would only have a 30% success rate in refining the Immortal-Slaying Pearl.

If the attempt fails, all resources will be wiped out in an instant.

In order to deal with Li Mo, they spared no expense in gathering all kinds of resources.

Once this massive organization was fully operational, Zhu Xian began to devote himself entirely to refining the Immortal Extinction Pearl.

After a long time.

As a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead to the tip of his nose, Zhu Xian slowly put down the tweezers in his hand, let out a long breath, and revealed a relieved smile.

"It's done."

More than ten years have passed.

Thanks to the reorganization materials supplied by the First Seven Days Organization, he has finally managed to refine the second Immortal-Slaying Pearl today.

Even this usually taciturn prop master couldn't help but show his excitement, feeling that his more than ten years of seclusion were like a dream.

"Teacher, your student has not let you down and has finally refined two Immortal-Slaying Pearls."

Zhu Xian rubbed his dry, tired eyes, but he couldn't afford to rest. He needed to get to the Seven Kingdoms as soon as possible and deliver the two Immortal-Slaying Pearls to his teacher.

So he immediately found a deacon within the organization, and escorted by two silver-ranked assassins, he headed towards the Seven Kingdoms via a secret route of the First Seven Organization.

This secret route was developed by the First Seven Organization over many years. It does not require taking a teleportation array, but it requires detouring to the Tianyuan Highlands to enter the land of the Seven Kingdoms, a journey that takes at least half a year.

But its advantage lies in its secrecy, so there's no need to worry about being discovered by the Road Guide.

……

the other side.

The assassination of healers by the Seventh Day Organization can be described as a comprehensive operation from the bottom up.

Throughout the seven kingdoms, doctors are dying inexplicably every day.

These healers, by practicing medicine and saving lives, won the gratitude of many and gained the support of countless mortals. However, their seven-day memorial service was also greatly hindered and they suffered some retaliation. But with the various sects in the seven kingdoms making every effort to advance the Great An Empire, they ultimately characterized the war between the two secret organizations as a conflict of interests and maintained a neutral stance.

This way.

The complete demise of medical organizations in various regions is only a matter of time.

While assassinating doctors across the country, the First Seven Days Organization was also systematically collecting the wealth of medical organizations, which eventually ended up in Li Mo's hands.

Although Zhao Changchun, the director of the Pacification Commission, was extremely busy, he had been troubled by a question that remained unanswered: a strange sense of disharmony.

It's like forgetting something very important.

As a result, he often suffered from insomnia, splitting headaches, and was almost driven mad.

After much thought, he realized that the most incongruous thing around him was that old assassin.

Previously, he had clearly expressed great hostility towards the Black Dog Monster, as if only one of them could survive. However, after going to the manor and receiving the imperial decree, everything seemed to have changed.

The two then began a close and seamless collaboration, which left him completely baffled and perplexed.

"Could it be that the Holy Emperor issued a secret edict?"

Although he had doubts, he couldn't care less about them now.

In a few days, the seven factions will announce their alliance and establish the Great An Empire. Many envoys have already arrived from all over the country upon hearing the news. Even the Nine Fox Clan of Qingqiu Mountain has sent an envoy to congratulate the seven kingdoms on the beginning of a new chapter and to present them with gifts.

He walked to a dark room.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Lei, once the seven kingdoms announce their alliance to establish Da’an, the Lu army will likely launch a full-scale attack at any cost. The two sides will inevitably engage in a life-or-death battle. Lu will never allow a seventh great power to be established in its backyard. You should be prepared.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Tiangang, the Thunderclap Hermit who was studying the "Unity of Heaven and Man," looked over.

"Legend has it that the Floating Immortal has merged with that world-destroying insect nest that reaches the heavens, possessing almost the power of a god, and his strength is second only to mine. Even if the army of Lu were to invade, this Floating Immortal would be there to hold them off. Moreover..."

Wei Tiangang paused slightly, then smiled calmly.

"Besides, isn't the failure of the Great An Empire's establishment more in line with His Majesty's wishes? Hmph, as long as we ensure that the State of Lu cannot defeat this place in the short term and drag it into a third quagmire of war, what are you worried about?"

“I…” Zhao Changchun paused slightly before letting out a long sigh.

"Sigh, I'm a little worried about the Road Guidance Bureau and the Seventh Day After Tomb. To be honest, no matter who wins or loses, there needs to be an answer. But right now, they're wondering whether to fight or not. Are they going to wait until the big war starts before they fight?"

Wei Tiangang gave Zhao Changchun a deep look.

“You know the situation of the Road Guiding Office better than I do, but you are not a citizen of our Great Qian Kingdom. This place is not like the Qiexiao Grassland. The Great Qian Kingdom puts people first. I think... you are getting too close to the first seven days. I'm afraid it will affect the Emperor's grace in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changchun's expression changed slightly.

After a while.

As Zhao Changchun, the Director of the Pacification Office, departed, Li Chun, the Swordsman of Wine, and Yan Shaoqing, the True Understanding Hermit, emerged from behind the scenes.

Gudu, Gudu.

Li Chun untied the wine gourd and took two large gulps.

"Whether the Thunderclap Sect can move back to the Great Qian Kingdom depends on this mission. I think it's still necessary to make contact with that old black dog monster again. Putting aside everything else, you've seen the strength he's shown in the Great Northern Wilderness. In addition, there's the Heavenly Talisman in his possession, as well as his position as the Director of the Road Guidance Bureau. He's definitely worth trying to win over."

Because of the Array Masters Conference, the young champion Yan Shaoqing was well aware of the immense influence that Li Mo, the newly promoted array master, had in the field of array formations in the Qian Kingdom.

So they couldn't help but try to persuade him.

"After the death of the Longevity Pill Sect's Yangyuan Zhenren, Zhao Changchun allocated a large sum of spirit stones from the pacification funds to pay for the assassination. Now, the medical organization has been almost wiped out, but it was the First Seventh Organization that made the move. Strangely, the resources plundered by the First Seventh Organization all flowed to the Road Pass Office. It seems that the two have reached some kind of tacit understanding and cooperation. It would be unwise for us to continue to stand by and watch. It would be better to make contact as soon as possible."

After a moment of silence, Wei Tiangang, the Thunderclap Hermit, let out a long sigh.

It concerns the struggle between the Road Guide and the Seventh Day After Death. Even he didn't want to get involved blindly, but now the persuasion of his two friends made him waver.

"I will try to get in touch with them before the ceremony."

Li Mo is now indirectly controlling the seventh day after his death through hidden lightning.

He was considering whether to let the Road Guide completely absorb the First Seventh Day, or to continue to maintain this indirect control, as both had their advantages and disadvantages.

Based on intelligence.

The First Seven Organization has eleven secondary branches and countless tertiary branches. The branch established by the Shadow Cat Clan in the Wasteland failed; otherwise, it would be the twelfth secondary branch.

In contrast, the Road Guide Bureau only has one overseas branch in Yanyang City.

"This concerns organizational structure. Let's discuss it further after this matter is over before making a decision. Trying to swallow an elephant whole is probably not so easy."

With that thought in mind, a sound transmission talisman descended from the sky.

Upon receiving the communication talisman, Li Mo was taken aback; it was an astonishing visit from a mysterious wanderer.

He quickly realized what was happening.

"Could he be the mastermind sent by the Holy Emperor? But with his strength, it's probably a bit too much for him. Could he have been bestowed with some kind of precious treasure?"

With a suspicion in mind, Li Mo immediately walked out of the room with a smile.

He showed no suspicion that the other party had not shown up for several days, and treated him with the same hospitality as a long-time friend.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, the other party is now carrying out a royal decree.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, it's been many years! Please come in!"

"Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Li, how have you been?"

After the two entered a house in the manor and conducted a friendly reconnaissance, Wei Tiangang left with a smile late at night.

Li Mo watched the other person leave, his smile gradually fading, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

"I never imagined that the Middle-earth would still possess a legendary material like Eternal Dark Silver. If I could combine it with that Shadow Sword, it could be used as a material to refine the life of the Matrix Golem..."

Li Mo paused, suddenly remembering something.

"How did he know I needed puppet materials? Could it be that Yan Shaoqing is here too?"

Li Mo had once exchanged matrix puppetry techniques with Yan Shaoqing, and he immediately realized what was going on.

Wei Tiangang's offer to let Li Mo stay and oversee the situation in exchange for a piece of Eternal Dark Silver, in case of unforeseen circumstances, also tempted him.

He used a lot of materials to refine the Misty Domain Array.

Almost all of their savings have been spent.

Now he wants to use Jianmu wood, rootless mud, wood spirit pearl, and the shadow sword obtained by the Shadow Cat Clan, combined with the Misty Spirit Eye Array, to refine a matrix puppet life form with extraordinary potential and the ability to evolve on its own. The various materials required are of the highest quality, and many of them are things that are difficult to buy even with spirit stones.

The fact that Wei Tiangang was willing to take out that piece of Eternal Dark Silver shows how important this mission of supporting the independence of the Seven Kingdoms is to him.

Coincidentally, Li Mo was also planning to make a good impression here.

"By cooperating with them to complete this task, we will gain more influence with the Holy Emperor in the future. At that time, whether we annex Touqi or indirectly control Touqi, we will be able to operate with ease in the depths of the various palaces within the cabinet."

After careful consideration, Li Mo finally made up his mind to leave his mark on this mission.

Otherwise, given his current mission progress, he could have already returned to the Great Qian Kingdom with the spirit stones he had collected from the various medical branches. He would only need to wait for An Lei to take away the two Immortal-Slaying Pearls from Zhu Xian's hands and then find a way to control them, which would be a perfect outcome.

Given this prop master's bookish personality and loyalty to the old dragon, controlling him through random attacks is a piece of cake, and he can be used as a tool in the future.

At this time.

An unexpected lightning bolt appeared silently behind Li Mo.

"My respected, noble, and great master, I feel it is necessary to remind you that since the nascent soul of Yuanhun Zhenren has escaped, the Lu Kingdom will most likely target the cultivators from the Rebirth Sect that you sent. After all, it is said that this sect's anthropomorphic puppetry technique is extremely effective against the True Spirit Eye. You must make relevant preparations."

Li Mo nodded calmly.

Yuanhun Zhenren holds a high position in the Duotian Sect. This time, his physical body was shattered, and only his nascent soul escaped. This will inevitably cause a great uproar, and the sect will send out corresponding experts to target him.

The cultivators of the Rebirth Gate are undoubtedly the best choice.

The True Immortal of Insight died at the hands of the Rebirth Sect cultivators. Some even say that a Nascent Soul cultivator is hidden in this sect, but it is unknown whether this is true or not.

"You should also be careful, lest you capsize in a ditch right after obtaining this body."

Upon hearing this, An Lei immediately wore a mushy expression and said excitedly, "Master, are you concerned about me? An Lei is so touched! Don't worry, Master, I will definitely protect this body well!"

Speaking of the Reconstruction Gate, Li Mo couldn't help but think of another matter.

That's Lianyi's background, and why she fled to the Great Qian Kingdom.

"If there is an opportunity, we can try to investigate and verify it. Maybe we can discover some useful secrets."
