Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Xia Jin withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and waved towards the shadows in the alley next to her.

A thug dressed in shabby clothes but with a shrewd look in his eyes immediately ran out from the shadows and bowed respectfully.

"Sir, is there anything else you need me to do? Please feel free to tell me."

"By this time tomorrow, I want you to spread this news so that at least everyone in Lingtian City knows."

As she spoke, Xia Jin handed over a folded piece of paper and a heavy cloth bag.

The bag wasn't completely tied shut, leaving a corner of it exposed.

The thug, with his sharp eyes, took the item and immediately plastered a fawning smile on his face.

He patted his chest vigorously and assured him, "Don't worry, sir! You can rest assured when Er Gou does things! I guarantee that by sunset tomorrow, the entire Lingtian City, even the rats here, will know about it!"

"That's good! Otherwise, you should know that my money isn't so easy to take!"

Xia Jin glanced at the other person, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

He had to catch up with Elders Yue Qianfeng and Liu Yan, who had just left; he was the director of this whole scene.

After confirming that Xia Jin had left, Er Gou couldn't wait to open the cloth bag. When he saw that the bag was full of gold leaves, his mouth almost stretched to his ears with a grin.

"As expected, this guy is really generous! I'm going to be rich this time! In a few days, I'll buy a property, marry the second daughter of the Li family, and have her give me three, no, five kids!"

After letting Er Gou indulge in his own fantasies for a while, he carefully tucked the cloth bag into his pocket and then opened the note.

With just one glance, the smile on his face froze instantly, and the hand holding the note even began to tremble.

The note had this line written on it:

"The Jade Balance Sect elder was cruel and ruthless, wantonly slaughtering Elder Liu's entire clan from the Lifeless Sect. Elder Liu pursued him relentlessly, and after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the Jade Balance Sect elder was slain by Elder Liu outside Lingtian City!"

"Hiss..." Er Gou felt his throat go dry. If this news were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in the entire Beiji! And regardless of whether it was true or false, once it was discovered that the news originated from him, he would be doomed!

Er Gou hurriedly folded the note again, stuffed it into his pocket, and his expression kept changing.

"Damn it!" Er Gou gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"Fortune favors the bold! I only have this one worthless life anyway, and I've been poor half my life, so I might as well take a gamble! This bag of money is enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my days!"

He quickly came up with an idea: "Once the news gets out tomorrow, I'll leave Lingtian City immediately, or at worst, leave Beiji!"

……

Meanwhile, in a valley a hundred miles away from Lingtian City,

Both Yue Qianfeng and Liu Yan were injured, but Liu Yan, the fourth elder of the Wusheng Sect, was slightly inferior in cultivation and his injuries were more severe, with a trace of blood occasionally spilling from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were bloodshot, his madness undiminished. He seemed oblivious to the pain, relentlessly attacking with every move aimed at mutual destruction.

"Liu Yan! Are you ever going to stop?! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!" Yue Qianfeng was forced back again, and finally couldn't suppress his anger. He looked at the other party with a sinister gaze.

He was furious; he had been framed and was now in such a miserable situation.

"Blood for blood! I'll kill you!!"

Liu Yan wouldn't listen to anything anyone said; he only had one thought in his mind—to kill this "enemy" in front of him!

His figure transformed into a streak of light once again, charging towards Yue Qianfeng. The ever-compressing true energy on his right fist caused the surrounding rubble to shake.

"Stubborn to the end, then don't blame me!" Yue Qianfeng was also provoked, and a fierce look flashed across his face.

He took the gourd from his waist, uncorked it, and drank the strong liquor inside in one gulp!

As the liquor entered his stomach, Yue Qianfeng's face instantly flushed red, and his aura suddenly became violent and scorching. His right hand turned crimson, palm facing forward, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of liquid towards the charging Liu Yan—

"call--!"

A gigantic fire dragon roared from his mouth, carrying terrifying heat, and lunged at Liu Yan with bared fangs and claws!

In an instant, half the sky above the valley was bathed in crimson light, as flames swept down from the heavens!

Just as both of them were completely focused on each other,

Xia Jin, who had been hiding behind a boulder, suddenly had a cold glint in her eyes.

The time has come.

Three bronze-colored fragments instantly fell into his hands, and his movements were completely invisible.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, three beams of bronze light vanished instantly, shooting towards Yue Qianfeng's brow, throat, and heart respectively!

Yue Qianfeng, who was fully activating the fire dragon, had all his senses locked on Liu Yan. He was only surprised when he felt a strange chill on his body.

"Huh?! There's... someone lurking in the shadows!"

He froze abruptly, staring at the blood flowing from his body, feeling fear for the first time. In his panic, he seemed to see Xia Jin hiding behind the boulder, sneering at him.

Having lost his control, the fire dragon quickly dissipated in the air, turning into countless sparks that fell from the sky.

Without the fire dragon's restraint, Liu Yan had already rushed in front of Yue Qianfeng and unleashed a punch that concentrated all his power.

"die!!!"

Liu Yan's roar shook the white clouds above, causing them to disperse. He didn't even consider why Yue Qianfeng had suddenly become motionless.

"Pfft!"

The fist pierced through Yue Qianfeng's abdomen without any resistance and emerged from his back.

Liu Yan then fiercely reached out with his other hand, grabbed Yue Qianfeng's head with its unfocused pupils, and twisted and pulled it hard!

"Snap!"

Without even glancing at it, Liu Yan slammed the corpse to the ground.

"Aaaaaah—!!!" Liu Yan was not satisfied at all. He landed next to Yue Qianfeng's corpse and began to swing his fists continuously, pounding and trampling on the body!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Soon, deep craters were smashed into the ground, and rubble flew everywhere.

In just a short while, Yue Qianfeng, the once majestic Third Elder of the Jade Balance Sect, was completely transformed.

Only when he was completely exhausted did Liu Yan stop, panting heavily, a hint of pleasure appearing on his face.

Xia Jin watched all this quietly from a distance, a satisfied smile on her face.

The plan is going very smoothly.

So next, he only needs to inform the Jade Balance Sect, and he believes that soon, the Jade Balance Sect Master Qiu Changtian will personally make a trip to the Wusheng Gate!

His system task required him to kill the Jade Balance Sect Master by any means necessary!

"It seems I will soon complete this system task!"
