Late at night.
Camp Site Three.
Tao Jin suddenly opened her eyes in the middle of her sleep.
She glanced at her roommate, who was still sleeping, and quietly walked outside.
Tao Jin saw the mysterious man in the hat again.
“Sure enough, Tao Jin, you chose to practice the Shadow Breath Blood Passage.”
The man in the hat took off his mask, revealing a normal face.
Now that Tao Jin was practicing a magic technique, she was one of his people..
“You don’t seem to be surprised?”
Compared to her hesitation previously, Tao Jin, who had already started to practice the Shadow Breath Blood Passage, seemed very calm.
“If you really would rather die than practice magic techniques, you wouldn’t have hidden my existence from the Black Armored Guards, not to mention you secretly saw me last time.”
The man in the hat said with a smile.
Tao Jin smiled when she heard his words, but her smile was a little cold.
“In any case, you are already a member of the Shadowblood Sect.”
The man in the hat said, “In the future, I hope you can cooperate with the actions of the Shadowblood Sect.”
When the man in the hat said this, he was very confident.
The moment Tao Jin began practicing the Shadow Breath Blood Passage, she was in his control.
“What actions? Cannibalize the Black Armored Guards from the inside?”
Tao Jin asked.
“Yes ma’am.”
The hat man confessed generously. “If something goes wrong inside Kangyun County, it will be easy for the outside forces to attack.”
Tao Jin didn’t reply immediately. She paused for a moment, before asking, “So you’re in full control here?”
The hat man paused for a moment, then smiled. “Of course.”
“I can do things for you, but I have to receive something from you too.”
Tao Jin did not shy away from this and explained her desires. It was obvious that she had thought about this before. “You have to give me some pure blood from a demon beast.”
Tao Jin learned from the Magic Faction warrior files that the blood needed for the Shadow Breath Blood Passage should preferably be the blood of a powerful warrior, or the pure blood extracted from a demon beast.
“Pure blood of a demon beast?”
The hat man said, “So this is your so-called bottom line?”
“No.” Tao Jin shook her head, “In my current situation, it is difficult to obtain high-quality blood. If you can give me the blood of a powerful warrior, I will accept it too.”
Tao Jin’s answer made the man in the hat satisfied.
Luckily, he seemed to be prepared for this. He took out two porcelain bottles from his pockets, one in cyan and one in yellow.
“The pure blood of a demon beast is in the cyan porcelain bottle, and the blood of a warrior is in the yellow porcelain bottle. These two bottles of blood are enough for you to use for a month. They are also enough to help you break through to the qi realm.”
The man in the hat gave Tao Jin the porcelain bottles.
Tao Jin took it, her eyes narrowed. She looked at it carefully, before putting it in her bag.
“Only enough for one month? That’s too little.”
Tao Jin made another request.
“Don’t worry, Kangyun County will definitely fall in a month. At that time, you will be given as much blood as you want.”
The man in the hat looked confident.
“But there’s news that the Yunying City reinforcements will come at any time.”
Tao Jin was doubting the man in the hat’s words.
“So what? They will arrive within a month and by then, we will have occupied Kangyun County. Even if they attack, they will not be able to regain control. That is unless someone above the mortal realm appears here.”
The man in the hat said, “But, why would a master above the mortal realm participate in such a small matter? If they appear here, friction between the two big states will escalate.”
Tao Jin nodded silently, the man in the hat was right.
“So now that you’re getting something in return, will you execute the tasks?”
The man in the hat also made a request at this time.
“What do I need to do?”
Tao Jin asked.
“You need to kill a few people.”
The man in the hat said in a deep voice.
“Kill who?”
Tao Jin’s tone was cold.
“Xu Ning from Maple Lane.”
This name made Tao Jin shudder.
She stared at the man in the hat. “He’s a brother from the Tao Village.”
The man in the hat took out two more cyan porcelain bottles.
Tao Jin took it. She went silent for a moment, before saying, “Killing him is fine, but I’m not strong enough to do it.”
The hat man waved his hand and threw a medicine packet at Tao Jin. “This amount is enough to poison a mortal realm fifth stage: pneumatic realm warrior.”
Tao Jin looked at the medicine packet and furrowed her eyebrows. “Mortal realm fifth stage?”
“Yes, Xu Ning has been promoted to the mortal realm fifth stage.”
Tao Jin clenched her fist after hearing the man in the hat’s words.
After Xu Ning killed some of the rebel soldiers and the rest returned to the rebel camp, they identified Xu Ning’s identity. According to their description, some rebel soldiers determined Xu Ning to be in the mortal realm fifth stage.
“Assassinating a genius like Xu Ning with your own hands, isn’t that exciting?”
The man in the hat had a bewitching look.
Tao Jin sneered coldly. “If you are so strong, why don’t you kill him yourself?”
“I’m not certain if I can.”
The hat man was very calm. “My identity is too important in the city. Once there is a conflict, the layout in Kangyun County will be messed up.”
Tao Jin laughed and said in a confused tone, “You already told me so much, are you not afraid that I will sell you out immediately? If I reveal your secrets and catch you in exchange for the Black Armored Guard’s forgiveness, it will definitely be quite profitable.”
“First of all, in State Feiyun, if you touch a magic technique, even for the greater good, you will be punished. After all, you are just a small character.”
“Secondly…”
The man in the hat stared into Tao Jin’s eyes. “A person like you won’t give up the pleasure of becoming stronger by using a magic technique.”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Tao Jin avoided the man in the hat’s gaze.
“Tomorrow evening, find Xu Ning, and you will say that you are struggling with practice. Ask him for help and find an opportunity to poison him. After killing him, I will help you to get out of the city.”
The reason why the man in the hat decided to personally protect Tao Jin was also because, after Lieutenant Du from Lushui Lane was killed, Black Armored Guards were restricted from leaving the city.
Tao Jin was a talented young woman who had been absorbed into the Shadowblood Sect. The high-ranking officials in the rebel army wanted to cultivate Tao Jin in the future.
“Okay.”
Tao Jin responded.
After hearing Tao Jin’s reply, the man in the hat sighed. “You are quite heartless. If you have a chance in the future, you would probably kill me without hesitation.”
The man in the hat knew that Tao Jin, who had made the decision to practice magic technique, must also be inherently heartless in nature.
Tao Jin didn’t answer.
“Bye.”
After the hat man explained everything, he was about to leave.
Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something. “I’m Guan Qingwu.”
Afterwards, he jumped and disappeared over the wall.
‘Kill Xu Ning?’
Tao Jin’s eyes gradually turned cold.
She walked quickly, avoiding the guards patrolling at night.
She walked past the pond at the camp.
Tao Jin took out the yellow porcelain bottle containing the blood of a warrior.
She opened the cork and smelled a strong scent of blood.
“Human blood…”
Tao Jin made a judgment.
Tao Jin spilled the blood in the bottle into the pond and threw away the porcelain bottle.
The blood dissipated and the porcelain bottle sank into the pond, Tao Jin then walked away.
…
The next day.
After Xu Ning left, he ate some food from the food stalls.
There were very few stalls in Maple Lane.
This was because most of the small vendors had escaped.
Xu Ning and Tao Qingping returned to their residence.
As soon as he came home, they saw Tao Jin waiting there.
“Tao Jin?”
Both of them seemed quite surprised to see Tao Jin.
Although the two of them also came from the Tao Village, they had no personal relationship with her.
“Apologies for the sudden visit.”
Tao Jin said in a straightforward tone, “Xu Ning, I have been stuck in the inner enrichment realm for a long time, and I can’t break through, so I came to ask you for advice.”
“For advice?
After hearing Tao Jin’s intentions, Tao Qingping and Xu Ning were not surprised.
People in the camp knew about Tao Jin’s lack of progress after entering the Black Armored Guards.
“Come on in.”
Tao Qingping took the initiative to open the door.
“Is this okay?”
Tao Jin looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt that Tao Jin had a deep look in her eyes.
“Of course.”
Xu Ning would not refuse helping a Tao villager.
The three walked into the courtyard one after another.
Xu Ning walked behind the two. Before stepping into the courtyard, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the end of the alleyway.
But there was no one there.
Like nothing happened, Xu Ning walked into the courtyard and closed the door.
Thump!
The door closed.
Afterwards, Guan Qingwu appeared at the end of the alleyway, right where Xu Ning was looking at just now.
There was a clear smirk on his face.
