Chapter 222: The Harvest Day Has Finally Arrived

Although Ye Zan had never learned the wall-penetrating technique, the high wall couldn't stop him. With the meticulousness of the way of insight, coupled with the powerful computing power of the auxiliary chip, he easily found the loophole in the prohibition on the courtyard wall.

Then, Ye Zan sacrificed the jade ball, hid himself in the space of the jade ball, flew into the air with the jade ball, saw the opportunity, and instantly flew into Jin Hongze's house from a forbidden gap.

In the courtyard, Ye Zan didn't come out from the space of the jade ball, but he shrunk the jade ball to a speck of dust with a magic trick, and came to the room where Jin Hongze was in silently. Of course, after all, the other party has the cultivation base of Nascent Soul Realm, so Ye Zan didn't get too close, so as not to arouse the other party's vigilance.

At this time, Jin Hongze neither practiced meditation nor opened a furnace to make alchemy, but was holding a volume of books in the study, flipping through them absent-mindedly. Whenever he thinks of that money, his heart throbs with pain, wishing that time could be turned back, wishing to slap Jiang Ziliu to death with his palm.

Where did the money go, whether it was lost or swallowed by Jiang Ziliu, Jin Hongze couldn't judge at all.

Seeing that the three-day deadline was approaching, Jin Hongze very much hoped that Jiang Ziliu would take out the money, and even fantasized about some stories about secular loyal ministers and monarchs. Perhaps Jiang Ziliu was out of loyalty and couldn't bear him wasting such a large sum of money, so he made up a reason for the loss and asked him to calm down for a while before making a decision.

Of course, Jin Hongze knew rationally that this kind of fantasy was really just a fantasy, but he held on to such a glimmer of hope, maybe the fantasy would be true?

On the other side, Jiang Ziliu kept pacing back and forth in his room. Compared to Jin Hongze, he was even more nervous, after all, these were the three days that would determine his fate. When will the assassin make his move? Will the shot be successful? What will happen if everything goes well, and what will happen if it doesn't go well! All kinds of possibilities imagined in his head are no less than Jin Hongze's.

Not to mention the two masters and apprentices who fell into various fantasies, and the assassin Chen Tianshui sneaked into the house, avoiding all kinds of prohibition traps very skillfully all the way, and soon came outside Jin Hongze's study.

Obviously, this Chen Tianshui's concealment method is very clever, otherwise if ordinary people approached here, Jin Hongze in the room would have already discovered it.

After arriving outside the study, Chen Tianshui didn't directly rush in to kill people, that's not how an assassin should behave. He chose a location and took out two props from his arms, one was a palm-sized wooden doll, and the other was a red bullet the size of an eyeball.

Chen Tianshui made a magic formula, the wooden doll grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time it became like a real person. The person transformed by this puppet is exactly one of the stewards in Jin Hongze's house, a foundation-building practitioner in his sixties.

After the transformation of the puppet is completed,

Chen Tianshui stuffed the red bullet into the doll's mouth. Immediately, the puppet became alive, and ordinary people would not be able to tell the difference between it and the real person if they took a closer look.

Chen Tianshui left the puppet in the same place, and came to another place by himself, his body seemed to melt, and he melted into the shadow in a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the puppet started to move, and ran towards Jin Hongze's study, shouting eagerly while running: "Master, master, Jiang Ziliu committed suicide."

In fact, there are still some loopholes in the puppet's movements and voice, including the words it yells. However, what Jin Hongze is most concerned about now is where his huge sum of money has gone, and where does he still have the heart to distinguish those. What's more, he didn't expect that Jiang Ziliu would invite assassins to assassinate him, so he naturally lost his vigilance.

Therefore, upon hearing such shouts from outside, Jin Hongze immediately dropped the book in his hand, rushed to the door of the study in a few steps, opened the door and asked the puppet steward, "What's going on?"

"Master, Jiang Ziliu cut his neck and killed himself. The younger one only found out when he smelled blood when he was inspecting the front yard." The puppet steward lowered his head and replied.

"What!" Jin Hongze was shocked immediately. He still hoped that Jiang Ziliu would get the money back, or hand it over. Why did the other party commit suicide?

Jin Hongze only cared about his own money, so he didn't bother to see the flaws of the puppet's management. So after hearing the news, he immediately went to Jiang Ziliu's residence in the front yard.

And just when Jin Hongze passed by the assassin Chen Tianshui's hideout, perhaps because he felt that he was not sure enough, Chen Tianshui didn't strike immediately, but silently sneaked into Jin Hongze's shadow from the darkness.

Without noticing it, Jin Hongze took the puppet in charge and went straight to Jiang Ziliu's residence. When he came to the front yard, Jin Hongze could smell a bloody smell before reaching Jiang Ziliu's room, and couldn't help walking a little faster.

Soon, he finally arrived at the door of Jiang Ziliu's room. Jin Hongze opened the door and looked inside, but he met Jiang Ziliu's eyes.

Originally thought that Jiang Ziliu really committed suicide, but seeing that Jiang Ziliu was still alive and well, Jin Hongze was taken aback for a moment. And just as he was stunned, a black thorn with a faint blue color shot out from the shadow behind him. In a short distance, the black thorn seemed to have crossed the shackles of time and space, and reached Jin Hongze's vest in an instant, and pierced in with a soft "chi".

"Ugh!" Only then did Jin Hongze realize that he had actually become the target of the assassin, and the person who hired the assassin was probably his disciple Jiang Ziliu in front of him.

In fact, if it was just a sword piercing through the heart, it would not be considered a fatal injury to Yuanying Patriarch. However, since Chen Tianshui knew that his target had the cultivation base of Nascent Soul Realm, how could he be unprepared. The Youlan on the black thorn is exactly a kind of poison that can bite bones and melt marrow, and it can destroy Jin Hongze's physical body in a moment.

However, there is another strength in the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if Jin Hongze's body is destroyed, if the Nascent Soul escapes, he still has a chance to switch to the ghost way.

Therefore, Jin Hongze was also very decisive, and with a flash of light at his dantian, Yuanying escaped from it. This Nascent Soul, like a miniature version of Jin Hongze, was about to rush towards Jiang Ziliu after flying out.

This is Jin Hongze's lifelong cultivation. Even without a physical body, it is far from being able to compete with Jiang Ziliu. However, Chen Tianshui also considered this point. The puppet steward who had brought Jin Hongze here before suddenly burst open, releasing a mass of crimson blood mist.

This blood mist-like thing filled the entire room in an instant, and together with the large area outside, it was so thick that it was almost hard to see. And more importantly, this blood mist has no harm to the physical body, but it is extremely corrosive to the Nascent Soul.

After being shrouded in blood mist, Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul suddenly seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and his movements became extremely slow. At the same time, Nascent Soul's body was corroded by the blood mist and smoky, as if he was about to ascend to immortality. However, that feeling was absolutely uncomfortable. Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul was screaming inside, but he couldn't move even if he wanted to run away.

"Evil, if you don't help me out of trouble, I really think you can survive without me!" Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul screamed to Jiang Ziliu.

When Jiang Ziliu heard Jin Hongze's voice, his body trembled because of the previous fear. However, he quickly realized that Jin Hongze was about to die, so what else did he need to be afraid of!

"Old man, when you cut off my finger, did you ever think that you would be where you are today!" Jiang Ziliu cursed bitterly.

When Jiang Ziliu said this, he basically admitted who hired the assassin. The hatred in Jin Hongze's heart: He never thought that the apprentice he taught himself would want to kill himself!

"You bully your masters, destroy your ancestors, and rebel against human relations. I am so blind that I accept you as an apprentice!" Jin Hongze cursed while struggling.

"Master, you were killed by an assassin invited by Liu Gan. I will definitely avenge you in the future. You go all the way." Facing Jin Hongze's curse, Jiang Ziliu became more and more relieved, with a slight smile on his face. Showing a bit of complacency.

"You!" Jin Hongze's voice became weaker and weaker. The Nascent Soul had been completely eroded by the blood mist, and the surface looked pitted as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid.

However, at this moment, Ye Zan, who had been watching the show by the side, made a move. He didn't want to see Jin Hongze die like this, at least he had to take Jiang Ziliu away with him!

Thus, Ye Zan drove the jade ball and fell directly into the blood mist, and a beam of light took Jin Hongze into the space of the jade ball. However, he didn't let Jin Hongze stay any longer. In a blink of an eye, he was outside the blood fog and threw Jin Hongze out again.

Jin Hongze was already waiting to die, but he didn't expect that for some reason, he was already outside the blood fog in a blink of an eye. Seeing this scene, he was overjoyed immediately, and quickly mobilized his magic power to drive away the blood mist on his body, and at the same time, he kneaded the formula and sprayed a sea of ​​flames into the room.

The blood mist was washed away by the sea of ​​flames, and disappeared in an instant, and then a black shadow jumped out from the ground, stabbing Jin Hongze in midair with a sword.

This black shadow was naturally the assassin Chen Tianshui. Although Chen Tianshui was confused and didn't know how Jin Hongze escaped, the mission still had to be completed.

But Jiang Ziliu was in a miserable situation. No one cared about him at all. Ye Zan would not save him, and neither would the assassins. Facing the raging sea of ​​flames, Jiang Ziliu could only rely on himself, and his body was like a cannonball hitting the wall on the other side of the house. As long as he breaks through the wall and there is a pond behind him, he may escape.

At this time, no one cared about Jin Hongze's body anymore. Ye Zan flew over with the jade ball and received Jin Hongze's body in the space of the jade ball.

Of course Ye Zan was not interested in the corpse anymore, but there was Jin Hongze's Qiankun ring on the corpse, and the ring contained almost all of Jin Hongze's family wealth. And his most important purpose in doing this, besides cleaning up Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu, is actually Jin Hongze's family background. (To be continued.)
