C954 Another Assassination Attempt



C954 Another Assassination Attempt

"No, it's not time yet. We need to wait!" Lee Hao wasn't a reckless man. The current Fallen Immortal City was like an ant compared to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he openly provoked the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time, he would surely die.    

    

When the Ming Dynasty founding emperor raised the flag and rebelled, his advisor Zhu Sheng suggested building a high wall to gather grain and slowly claim the throne. Why?    

    

The first two points were easy to understand. It was to accumulate strength and slowly become king. Why? He was not afraid that Da Yuan would treat Zhu Yuanzhang as a mortal threat and send a large number of troops to attack.    

    

If Lee Hao announced that the heavens and earth were going to build a dynasty, then it would be the biggest threat to Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them, Great Zhou Dynasty would still send people to kill Lee Hao.    

    

"Sure enough, it wasn't easy to accomplish this!" Lee Hao sighed. The previous owner of the Immortal Jade also took this path. In the end, he fought with the Heavenly Emperor and caused the collapse of the Heaven Realm. In the end, he died and his dao vanished. He had learned from the mistakes of the past and was a master of the future.    

    

Logically speaking, Lee Hao should have learned this lesson and stopped taking this path. However, when one was in the Pugilistic World, there was nothing one could do about it.    

    

The True Dragon Divine Art was not that easy to cultivate. The pride of the True Dragon made Lee Hao unable to choose to live under someone else. Either he died, or he would become the person with the highest status.    

    

At this time, a pretty female servant walked in and lit an incense stick silently. She said, "Sir, this is the high-quality Concentrating Incense that Butler Yun prepared for you. Try it and see how effective it is."    

    

The butler Yun mentioned by the female servant was Yun Chang. Currently, all the miscellaneous matters in City Lord Mansion were handled by her.    

    

"En!" Lee Hao did not mind. A small matter like lighting incense would happen every day, so how could it attract his attention?    

    

However, it was different this time, because this maid was called Suxin, one of the killers of Hidden Kill Alliance. The incense she lit wasn't a high-grade Spirit Focus incense. It was the ultimate treasure of the Hidden Kill Alliance's Heavenly South Hall, the Soul-absorbing Fragrance.    

    

The Soul-absorbing Fragrance was only effective against cultivators and was useless against mortals. This girl called Suxin was a mortal.    

    

Who made the rule that the killers of the Cultivation Realm must be cultivators? If mortals used it well, they could still complete the mission with outstanding results.    

    

The Hidden Kill Alliance was the ancestor of the assassination industry. It had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and it was full of tricks and tricks. It was not uncommon to see a mortal being used.    

    

A month ago, after they received this mission, they began to plan. At that time, it happened to be the time when Yun Chang recruited maids.    

    

Assassins would never only have one plan. The Jing brothers would have one plan, and Suxin would have one too.    

    

It was just that the Soul-absorbing Fragrance was too precious, and the other poisons were not easy to use, so Suxin did not take action for a long time.    

    

Now that the time was right, the Hidden Kill Alliance had activated Suxin's chess piece.    

    

Seeing that Lee Hao did not notice anything, Suxin quietly retreated, but she did not go far. Instead, she stood guard outside, waiting for the Soul-absorbing Fragrance to unleash its power.    

    

Wisps of smoke filled the hall. Lee Hao felt that his previously irritated mood had been relieved. The Soul-absorbing Fragrance was hard to discover, and that was the reason. It was the same as the Concentrating Incense, which had the effect of calming one's mind.    

    

However, at this time, the Immortal Jade in Lee Hao's divine soul suddenly became restless.    

    

The unusual appearance of the Immortal Jade was a very rare situation. Lee Hao had obtained the Immortal Jade for so long, and it had only happened once or twice. Previously, it was because the Immortal Jade's spirit energy had dried up. But now, the Immortal Jade's spirit energy was flourishing, so how could it be agitated?    

    

"There's a problem with the fragrance!"    

    

Lee Hao instantly knew where the problem was. The Immortal Jade also reacted at this time. A cold aura was emitted from it. The divine soul that was a little confused trembled and instantly woke up.    

    

Lee Hao also woke up, but he still closed his eyes tightly and pretended to be in a daze.    

    

At this time, Lee Hao couldn't think of anyone else besides the Hidden Kill Alliance who wanted to kill him.    

    

Sure enough, the Hidden Kill Alliance wasn't a kind person. They had just planned an assassination, and now they were following closely behind.    

    

Moreover, they had also invested a lot this time. They had even taken out the treasure to deal with the divine soul. If it wasn't for the Immortal Jade, perhaps they would have fallen into the Hidden Kill Alliance's trap today.    

    

No wonder the people of Spirit Realm were afraid of the Hidden Kill Alliance when they mentioned it. It wasn't their fault. It was because the means of the Hidden Kill Alliance were too hard to guard against.    

    

There was only a thousand days to be a thief. How could there be a thousand days to guard against a thief? Even if Lee Hao had a precious treasure like the Immortal Jade, his life wouldn't be in danger, but after being schemed by the opponent, he couldn't find anyone to take revenge on. This made him furious!    

    

It was easy to confirm the identity of the killer, whether it was the Jing brothers or the maids who lit incense. These were definitely the assassins of the Hidden Kill Alliance. But what was the use of killing them? They were just following orders. What Lee Hao wanted was to uproot the branch hall of the Hidden Kill Alliance. He wanted to let the Hidden Kill Alliance know how powerful he was.    

    

However, the position of the branch palace was not so easy to find, unless...    

    

Lee Hao had already made up his mind. The enemy was hiding in the dark. If he was in the open, this would not be conducive to his actions. There was only one way. He needed to let his guard down, and only by hiding in the dark would he be able to find the branch palace of Hidden Kill Alliance in Tiannan County.    

    

After making up his mind, Lee Hao already knew what to do.    

    

"Ah!!! "    

    

Lee Hao suddenly stood up and said in disbelief, "Poison, this fragrance is poisonous!" After saying those words with great difficulty, Lee Hao immediately collapsed onto the ground.    

    

The guards and maids guarding outside immediately panicked. Some people began to open the doors and windows of the hall, and some even held their breaths and rushed in.    

    

In fact, these were all futile actions.    

    

The time just now was very short, but the Soul-absorbing Fragrance burned very quickly. In less than a minute, it had burned out. All the incense had been sucked into Lee Hao's body.    

    

This was the characteristic of the Soul-absorbing Fragrance. It only targeted the cultivators closest to it, and not spread out in all directions. That way, not only would it not be able to obtain greater results, but it would also weaken the power of the Soul-absorbing Fragrance.    

    

The Soul-absorbing Fragrance seemed to be the same as the ordinary Mind Concentrating Incense, but it was actually not the same. It was a treasure with intelligence, and it could be used to deal with a person.    

    

The maids and guards panicked, but Suxin did not. Seeing that she had succeeded, she quietly left.    

    

Lee Hao's plan also began.    

    

With Lee Hao in trouble and the City Lord Mansion in chaos, Yang Yongyuan, who was guarding the safety of the City Lord Mansion, immediately came to Lee Hao's side to take charge of the situation.    

    

Needless to say, the entire City Lord Mansion was under martial law, and the servants were being interrogated.    

    

If one were to talk about the only outsiders in the City Lord Mansion, it was most likely these maids. The other guards were all Lee Hao's henchmen, so how could they harm Lee Hao?    

    

Yun Chang recruited female servants, and they were mortals, not cultivators. They were hired, and they could leave the City Lord Mansion after working for a few years.    

    

This was Lee Hao's instruction, even though he didn't mind using servants. However, there was no need to treat these young girls as slaves. After all, there was no enmity between them. Instead, it was these maids who took care of his family. There was a debt of gratitude towards Lee Hao.    

    

The relaxed policy had given those who did not have good intentions an opportunity to take advantage of it. Lee Hao had nothing to say. But if Lee Hao had to choose, he would still insist on his own principles.    

    

But now that such a thing had happened, Lee Hao was afraid that his subordinate wouldn't agree to it even if he didn't want to.    

    

Lee Hao was the core of Fallen Immortal City, and he had over a hundred thousand subordinates under his command. These people were closely related to Lee Hao's destiny. They didn't know that Lee Hao had a treasure like the Immortal Jade, and they could only think of ways to ensure Lee Hao's safety.    

    

A strong enemy wasn't scary, but a villain would cause trouble for them. As for the Hidden Kill Alliance, they had to be wary of such a villain.
