Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 59

Yunzhong City's West City

After venting his anger, Lin Jiang slowly calmed down. Without strength, being angry would only be impotent rage.

"The first test of Wen Xing and Li Ruoxu have already passed, so they won't suspect me again in the short term, unless there is solid evidence. The second test is from the Dark Night Organization."

"The Dark Night Organization is not easily fooled. The key is that they don't need evidence, they will take action as long as they have a feeling, but I don't know what kind of people the other side will send."

Lin Jiang carefully analyzed that Wen Xing, for now, could be temporarily ignored as he was already safe. But the Dark Night Organization is a tricky person who won't listen to your nonsense.

Lin Jiang is now worried that the Dark Night Organization will send experts. According to Zhang Ruifang, the Dark Night is very powerful, with several powerful leaders.

"The powerful leaders are not that worthless. Using them to deal with someone at a lower level like Qi Refining Period is not plausible. Besides, there are two major factions watching. They don't have the ability to show themselves at will. If I really have bad luck, what else can I do?"

In the end, Lin Jiang comforted himself. If he really had such bad luck, what could he do? He can't win in a fight, and he can't run away.

······

In a small tea stall in West City, Han Chunming is very annoyed. he has already drunk a belly full of tea, but the target hasn't come out yet.

"Damn it, is this kid really cut out for business? Still not coming out so late."

Han Chunming muttered in his heart. Across from him lives an independent cultivator named Lin Yang, who is his target for this mission. But he's not here to kill, he's here to investigate.

Lin Yang's neighbors on both sides are people from their Dark Night group. The Liao family on the left suddenly disappeared, and it's unclear if they are alive or dead. The organization is very angry, and it's better if they are dead rather than having escaped. If they are caught, they will be killed.

On his right side, there is a couple who are also part of their organization. The man is named Cao Yang and he is the best assassin of the Dark Night Organization in the past twenty years. He has never failed once since he entered the Qi Refining Period. However, he has failed now.

His wife is also a highly skilled assassin in the organization, ranked in the top ten among Cao Yang's peers. After Cao Yang's death, she also disappeared.

The organization is deeply disappointed and disgusted by deserters. It's not easy to train an assassin, it takes a lot of time, energy, and spirit stones. If an assassin doesn't bring profit to the organization, how can it survive and not go into debt?

Moreover, if everyone starts deserting like them, the organization cannot continue to exist. The organization never shows mercy to traitors who flee.

Both neighbors from the left and right side of Lin Yang have encountered trouble, so it's necessary to investigate. Lin Yang, who is in the midst of the play, has caught the organization's attention and he is specially sent to investigate.

Han Chunming has been observing for several days and he is burning with anger. In his opinion, Lin Yang is just a homebody who rarely goes out, except to sell a few spiritual talismans. He never leaves his house, making it impossible for Han Chunming to act.

"Finally came out."

Han Chunming sees the array formation at the target residence flickering, and his heart stirs. He casually throws a few spiritual beads and quickly arrives at the target residence.

"Don't move."

As soon as Lin Jiang stepped out, someone appeared beside him. Lin Jiang felt something sharp poking at his waist, so he chose to stay still for the sake of his safety.

"Who is this taoist friend? Kidnapping someone in Yunzhong City is a capital offense."

"Stop talking, go in."

"Okay, be careful not to hurt my waist."

Lin Jiang nodded and then returned to the door once again. Han Chunming followed him and closed the door, trapping Lin Jiang inside the formation.

"Taoist friend, if you're robbing for money, you can take my storage bag. If you're robbing for pleasure, I'm not good-looking, so take these spirit stones and head towards Spring Coming Tower on the left or Baihua Tower on the right. The fairy inside is beautiful and charming."

"You, you..."

Han Chunming couldn't help but laugh. Who is this person? It's a pity that he had a mission to complete, otherwise he would have loved to discuss with this taoist friend whether the fairy in Spring Coming Tower was charming or the one in Baihua Tower was tender.

"Why, isn't the taoist friend here to steal money?"

"How many spirit stones can you have as a Qi Refining Period cultivator? Stop talking nonsense, I ask, you answer. Once I get the answer I want, I'll let you go. If you try to be clever, I'll take your life."

Han Chunming glanced at Lin Jiang and paused for two seconds on his storage bag. It's better to take care of business first, and then it's not too late to steal money. After all, it's all his anyway.

"Ask me anything, I will definitely tell you everything."

"Does the person next to you know where to go?"

"Is it the left, right, or back?"

"Let's start with the left side."

"You're asking about Liao and his family, right? I don't know either. His landlord has been urging him for a long time, but he never showed up. Eventually, they broke in, but couldn't find him. I guess he couldn't afford to rent the house, so he ran away."

"He ran away?"

"I'm not very sure, the neighbor landlord said angrily that he didn't receive the rent, so he couldn't support his three wives, eight mistresses, eighteen children, and more than twenty..."

"Stop, what a mess."

Han Chunming got annoyed, I asked you about the neighbor's whereabouts, why are you talking about the landlord? Nine out of ten landlords in Yunzhong City are involved with the two major sects, and we can't afford to mess with them.

"Alright, I won't say anymore. Do you have any other questions?"

"What about your right neighbor?"

"I don't know."

"You've been neighbors for so many years, and you don't know anything?"

"Truly don't know, I stay indoors every day."

"If you don't go out, what do you do at home?"

"Eat, sleep, play with beans"

"Play with beans? What is this? Just be honest with me"

"I've been honest, haven't I? I say whatever you say, I really don't know where the neighbors went, it's not my business, they didn't give me any money either"

"Damn it, such a waste"

Han Chunming got furious, he waited for several days, and this is the waste he waited for?

"Senior, have you finished asking?"

"Yes, I'm done. Hand over the storage bag."

"Great, but can I ask for your help?"

"Kid, if you want me to spare you, stop the nonsense. Heh, heh, I'm a ruthless killer"

"No, I want to borrow something from you."

"Haha, you're so silly. What can I possibly lend you?"

"I want to borrow your reputation. That way, others will know I'm not easy to bully. Don't think you can just come and bully me because I'm a person."

Lin Jiang replied honestly but his hands were not honest. Before finishing his sentence, Lin Jiang had already taken action.

With a thought, the Spirit Beast Bag opened, and Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao turned into a white light, rushing towards the man in front of them. Meanwhile, Lin Jiang himself threw a palm strike, using the Explosive Element Technique. The huge palm imprint slammed towards the opponent.

Han Chunming's face changed dramatically. The dagger in his hand directly stabbed forward, but halfway through, he felt a sharp pain and the dagger fell out.

"Boom"

The palm imprint blasted the opponent away, sticking him to the wall. It was hard to peel him off. Meanwhile, Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao moved in for the kill, taking a bite and leaving a hole.

Han Chunming never expected that a mere Qi Refining Period cultivator could unleash a palm imprint with a strength not inferior to someone in the early stages of Building Foundation. Furthermore, there were also two mid-stage second rank beast pets.

"I said, I'm not someone to be bullied. If you don't believe me, let me show you."

Lin Jiang shook his head, cut off his head directly, and placed it right in the center of his house. It's quite a coincidence that he was moving today. The name Lin Yang can no longer be used, so he has rented a new house under a different name.

"What a pity, there's still six months' rent left for this house."

Finally, Lin Jiang left with a heavy heart. Another six months' rent wasted, and those were all precious spirit stones. The Dark Night Organization is really the worst.
