Chapter 69 - 69: Four Plans: A, B, C, D
At this moment, the deputy master of Tian Sha Pavilion felt desperate.
He thought he might be the last master of Tian Sha Pavilion.
Just as the Pavilion Master had always reminded them, “We all are trying to make a living. Don’t involve yourself and risk it all,” there was a corresponding principle of Tian Sha Pavilion, hanging in the most conspicuous place in the hall.
Small-scale business, honest management, no killing of those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
Who posted the mission? Are you blind? We don’t even kill those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, let alone assassinate Jiang Li, who is in the Mahayana Realm!
The deputy master walked down angrily, with murderous intentions boiling. He wanted to see who dared to post such a suicide mission!
Meanwhile, the disguised Jiang Li was talking bitterly.
“Let me tell you, Jiang Li has committed all sorts of crimes, he loves to insult other people’s wives and daughters in public. One of my friend’s wife and was treated like this bv him!”
“How many Spirit Stones would it take to kill Jiang Li, you say? No matter how much you name, I have them all!” Jiang Li disguised himself as someone who was tormented by Jiang Li, pulling out top-grade Spirit Stones continuously, making the assassins drool.
This is a big fat sheep. The orders Tian Sha Pavilion has taken didn’t have this many Spirit Stones. If they could kill…
“Shut up! ” As soon as the deputy master came downstairs, he heard Jiang Li’s outrageous words, scared out of his wits, ‘Who are you to slander the Human Emperor?!”
“You really refuse to take the mission?” Jiang Li squinted his eyes and took out more Spirit Stones, “As long as you go to kill Jiang Li, regardless of success or failure, these are all yours.”
Even the deputy master was stunned by Jiang Li’s boldness. Where did this rich guy come from? Did his family have a top-grade Spirit Stone mine?
“No, leave!” The deputy master hesitated for a moment, then immediately thought back to the Immortal Artifact Appraisal Conference where Jiang Li was fighting with all his might, and the immortal artifacts fled, making him shudder.
Kill Jiang Li?
Tian Sha Pavilion is not ‘Suicide Pavilion’.
Jiang Li sighed and slowly put the top-grade Spirit Stones back into the Storage Ring. His slow movements seemed like a show to the assassins.
After Jiang Li left, a gold medal assassin quietly asked the deputy master,
“Should we take a chance?”
The deputy master jerked him by the back of his head, “Idiot, if we dare assassinate our employer, then the next day the Sky Mechanism Tower would broadcast this news for free!”
Speaking of Sky Mechanism Tower, the deputy master was angry. How did they have such good luck to get Jiang Li to visit the Sky Mechanism Tower?
Why didn’t Tian Sha Pavilion have that luck?
After leaving Tian Sha Pavilion, Jiang Li deliberately chose to walk in the dark alleyways. He walked for half a day without seeing any assassins getting greedy and trying to rob him.
“Do assassins have such professional integrity these days?”
Jiang Li knew it wasn’t that easy for Tian Sha Pavilion to agree to kill him:
“That’s why the system’s tasks are not easy to accomplish.”
Jiang Li showed his true face and returned to Tian Sha Pavilion, scaring the deputy master into kneeling down. He thought Jiang Li knew that someone had just posted a mission for his assassination and suspected that Tian Sha Pavilion had accepted the mission.
“Emperor, as Heaven and Earth are my witnesses, we at Tian Sha Pavilion would never dare to accept the mission to kill you! You can ask that brat from earlier, we didn’t dare take a single Spirit Stone!”
Seeing the deputy master ready to bare his heart to prove his innocence, Jiang Li impatiently said, “That person earlier was me. I want to experience being assassinated. Go ahead, try to kill me!”
Hearing Jiang Li say this, the deputy master was even more frightened and shivering, where would he dare to make a move? Who has ever heard of someone wanting to experience assassination? Jiang Li was clearly looking for an excuse to eradicate Tian Sha Pavilion!
“Quickly, kill me!” Jiang Li shouted sharply, his voice causing a shock, his blood and energy surged, like a vast ocean, waves surged up.
The deputy master, who was in the late stages of Body Integration Realm, felt like he was a small boat, in danger of capsizing at any moment.
The deputy master understood the meaning of Jiang Li’s words. If he didn’t make a move, he would be the one who would die!
Having no choice, the deputy master had to take the risk and make a move. He slid into the shadows silently. The gold medal assassins saw the deputy master enter the shadows with their own eyes, but they couldn’t find a trace of him, and were secretly scared.
So this is the covert assassination of Body Integration Realm, it’s terrifying.
The deputy master was like a shark, swimming in the shadows under Jiang Li’s feet, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Suddenly, he noticed Jiang Li drifting off, and he decided to strike. He appeared from behind Jiang Li, trying to cut Jiang Li’s neck with a dagger made of shadows!
Snap–
The dagger broke, Jiang Li was unscathed. The deputy master’s strike was unsuccessful, he complied with the assassin’s principle, retreated to a distance and stopped trying to make a move.
However, there was no hint from the system.
Jiang Li looked carefully at the mission, he thought the key might be in evasion, so he emotionlessly commanded, “Kill me one more time.”
The deputy master felt that his courage for a lifetime had been used up with that single attempt. To kill the Human Emperor, moreover the strongest Jiang Li, bragging about it could get him chased by supporters of the Human Emperor for a lifetime. It’s better to not mention it.
Now, hearing Jiang Li’s unquestionable command, he had to borrow courage from his next life, and perform the assassination technique again.
This time, Jiang Li dodged but there was still no hint from the system.
Jiang Li thought for a moment, then somewhat unhappily asked, “Did you not really intend to kill me?”
The deputy master flattered, “What are you saying, Your Majesty? When I tried to kill you, it was truly from the heart.”
After he said this, he wanted to slap himself twice. He only thought to follow Jiang Li’s words without thinking. Can he casually say these words? What if Jiang Li thought he was serious?
Jiang Li glanced at him and naturally understood that deputy master did not really intend to kill him.
It seems that the system requires the assassins of Tian Sha Pavilion to have an intention to assassinate him. Just pretending to assassinate him does not count, this would be difficult.
Plan A failed as he couldn’t pay to assassinate himself, plan B failed as he couldn’t lure the assassins to kill him with luxuries. Plan C also failed where forcing the assassins to kill him didn’t work, then Jiang Li could only execute plan D.
He pretended to leave but was actually invisible and looking over Tian Sha Pavilion’s most recent assassination plans. He spotted some familiar names.
“Assassinate Qin Luan (Note: Early Golden Core stage), Yuan Wuxing (Note: Early Nascent Soul stage), Location: Longyin City in Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, Suggested dispatch of level B assassins”.
“Read. ”
As for the reason for the assassination and who posted the mission, the Tian Sha Pavilion didn’t care, Jiang Li couldn’t possibly find out from here.
“Let’s go find Yuan Wuxing and see if the assassin will take the opportunity to assassinate me. Isn’t Tian Sha Pavilion famous for conveniently killing more than one person?” Jiang Li muttered to himself, and this time, he genuinely left Tian Sha Pavilion.
“We need to spread word about today’s events!” said the deputy master.
“You mean the news about you trying to assassinate Jiang Li?” asked the gold assassin who was punished before. As expected, he got punished again.
“Idiot, of course it’s about Jiang Li giving us important directions and personally guiding our assassination techniques.”
The deputy master thought for a moment and continued: “This is not enough. Sky Mechanism Tower has a painting. We should have one too..”
