Chapter 704 The Sincerity of Ice Prison Gate [Please Subscribe]
As a killer sect, Ice Prison Sect is naturally well aware of the dangers of engaging in this industry.
So not only did they build the mountain gate in a hidden place where no one knew about it, but the disciples were also very cautious when walking outside.
Moreover, they are divided into two teams internally.
The Ice Prison Gate envoy who appeared in Zhou Chun's sight at this time was specifically responsible for receiving entrusted tasks.
These people don't need to learn any assassination skills. They mainly learn observation and escape skills.
Before appearing, the Ice Prison Gate envoy had been secretly observing Zhou Chun's appearance for quite some time, and had explored the surrounding area to confirm that there were no other highly skilled monks ambushing him. Only then did he dare to show up. Come out.
But even when he showed up, he always kept a distance between himself and his customers to ensure that he could respond immediately if any unexpected situation occurred.
After he appeared at this moment, he looked at Zhou Chun through the two small holes in the mask.
He asked in an indifferent tone: "Since your Excellency is here with a token, you probably know the rules of our sect. Who do you want to ask this sect to deal with?"
When Zhou Chun heard this, his heart suddenly moved. He was not in a hurry to take action immediately. Instead, he looked at the other party and said: "This token was obtained by Zhou from others. I don't know the rules of your Ice Prison Sect very clearly." , Fellow Taoist, can you elaborate?"
Hearing his words, the Ice Prison Sect envoy's eyes suddenly changed. He looked at him with a cold light in his eyes and said coldly: "Since you don't even know the rules, you dare to come to this sect. You are really brave. !”
"What? Isn't your Ice Prison Sect just a killer sect? As long as Zhou can afford the price, you can help eliminate Zhou's troubles!"
Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and replied calmly with a nonchalant tone.
His wealthy and arrogant attitude made the Ice Prison Gate envoy opposite him look a little colder.
That's right, Ice Prison Sect is a killer sect that specializes in collecting money to commit murders for others.
But this never means that they will be inferior to others.
On the contrary, in this process of hiring a murderer, the Ice Prison Sect is the party that is above the employer.
Because they know very well that since the employer can only come to them to solve certain problems, it means that the employer is no longer able to solve the problem on its own.
Then it is the employer who wants from them, rather than them living on charity from their employer.
In these situations, as long as the monks who have some knowledge about the Ice Prison Sect are aware of it.
Therefore, at this time, the Ice Prison Gate messenger believed Zhou Chun's previous words.
This is indeed a foreigner who doesn’t know much about their Ice Prison Gate!
For such ignorant outsiders, Ice Prison Sect naturally has another set of strategies to deal with them.
The Ice Prison Gate envoy immediately said: "Your Excellency is right. Now you can tell me who you want to kill, and then tell me your reward and the target's personal information."
After hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately said: "The relevant information is all here, you can read it yourself."
As he spoke, he raised his sleeves and waved, and a jade slip flew towards the Ice Prison Gate envoy.
But what he didn't expect was that after receiving the jade slip, the Ice Prison Gate envoy did not directly check the information in it.
Instead, he nodded directly to him and said: "Your entrustment has been received. However, whether this entrustment can be fulfilled will have to be carefully verified by our department after checking the above intelligence information before I can give you an answer. Please accept it." Don’t leave Frozen End Country within the next month, and a monk from our sect will contact you by then.”
After the man finished speaking, he put the jade slip in his hand into his storage bag, and then used his escape technique to leave.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun could only restrain his tentative thoughts and take action directly.
But with a wave of his sleeve, ice picks shot towards the Ice Prison Gate envoy.
But that person seemed to have guessed that he would take action. He quickly condensed the snow into a wall, forming a thick ice wall to block him in front of him. At the same time, he was about to use his escape technique to leave.
But Zhou Chun's methods far exceeded his imagination.
Those ice picks are nothing more than a cover-up, the real killing move is the nine shadowless and invisible ice needles.
With his cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core, it was impossible to discover the existence of the [Nine-Destroying Ice Needle].
He didn't realize this until the invisible ice needle pierced his protective aura and pierced his robe.
But it was obviously too late at this point.
The nine ice needles easily pierced his robe and a piece of personal inner armor, and the cold poison released instantly made him unable to resist.
After subduing the person with such a move, Zhou Chundang immediately sealed him and brought the person to his own body.
However, just when Zhou Chun personally took action and began to use the soul-searching method, he discovered that the soul of the Ice Prison Sect monk was planted with extremely profound restrictions. Once the soul was forcibly searched, the opponent's soul would immediately collapse.
Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to give up his plan of forcibly searching for souls, and instead woke people up for interrogation.
After he woke the person up, he said coldly to the person: "I will ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, I will spare your life!"
Hearing his words, the Ice Prison Gate envoy who had just woken up immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, you probably want to ask this junior, where is the mountain gate of our sect, right?"
Without waiting for Zhou Chun to respond, he answered his own question: "To be honest, senior, where is the mountain gate of our sect? It is estimated that except for the two Nascent Soul Stage real people in the sect, there is no other The three of them know it!"
"Although disciples like this junior have been cultivating in the mountain gate since childhood, they have never left the mountain guarding formation until they successfully formed the elixir!"
"And we usually go in and out of the mountain gate through a teleportation array. It is said that the teleportation array has special restrictions and cannot teleport people with cultivation levels above the Golden Core stage back to the mountain gate. And we have to go back to the mountain gate through the teleportation array every time. At the mountain gate, you have to go through several checks first to make sure that no marks have been planted on your body before you can be teleported back to the mountain gate!"
At this point, he also whispered with a bitter look on his face: "So even if I want to confess and survive, I can't give you an answer that satisfies you, senior!"
Zhou Chun couldn't help but fell silent after hearing what he said.
Although I had thought about it before, since Ice Prison Sect has been in the assassin business for so many years and has never been overturned by anyone, there must be something to rely on.
But I didn't expect that things would be so complicated.
However, after a moment of silence, Zhou Chun also looked at the Ice Prison Gate envoy in front of him and raised a question: "As far as Zhou knows, the activation of the teleportation array requires the consumption of spiritual crystals as energy. If your Ice Prison Gate only relies on the teleportation array, To provide access for the disciples, how can you consume so many spiritual crystals?"
After hearing what he said, the man immediately replied truthfully: "Senior Mingjian, this is the special thing about our teleportation array. In addition to using spiritual crystals to activate it, it can also be activated by monks directly injecting mana. To activate it, you only need two early-stage Jindan monks to inject 80% of their body's mana to activate it!"
"How can this be!"
Zhou Chun looked shocked and couldn't help but look at this person with a slightly changed expression and said: "The teleportation array can only be inspired by spiritual crystals with non-attributed spiritual power. This is a common sense of formations recognized in the world of immortality. If you Ice Prison Gate is really With such skills at your disposal, how could you just hide in secret and do some sneaky things!"
"Senior, this junior can't answer what you said. I'm just telling you the truth about what I know."
The Ice Prison Gate envoy smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then whispered: "But this junior feels that our teleportation array should have some special characteristics and cannot be replicated in other places, otherwise it will be like what you said, senior In the same way, our sect has such skills, there is no need to engage in this kind of assassination business!"
After hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Then he looked at him and said: "In that case, you can take me to the location of the teleportation array. As long as I confirm that what you said is true, I don't mind letting you go."
"Junior seems to have no other choice!"
The Ice Prison Gate messenger gave another wry smile and could only agree.
Later, under the leadership of this person, Zhou Chun entered the ice field with him, and finally came to a certain snow mountain in the three-segment line area of the ice field.
Because of someone's guidance, Zhou Chun quickly discovered the Ice Prison Gate stronghold hidden in the snowy mountains.
After discovering this, he did not embarrass the Ice Prison Gate envoy and let him go directly.
Zhou Chun then released Lord Silver Dragon and directly let him attack the Ice Prison Gate stronghold.
Although it is just a stronghold, the Ice Prison Gate has invested a lot of money in this place. The stronghold's defense array is enough to withstand the attack of the Nascent Soul Stage monks.
After Yinlongjun attacked alone for a while, he was unable to break it for a while.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to join the battle, so he let Lord Silver Dragon maintain the offensive and slowly waited.
Sure enough, he didn't wait too long before a powerful aura suddenly burst out from the stronghold.
The Nascent Soul stage monks from Ice Prison Gate finally came to support.
If the Ice Prison Gate messenger didn't lie, this stronghold responsible for the Ice Prison Gate's mountain gate and the outside world is obviously second only to the Mountain Gate in importance to the Ice Prison Gate.
Therefore, Zhou Chun determined in his heart that as long as this place was attacked by Nascent Soul monks, the Nascent Soul monks from Ice Prison Gate would definitely come to support him.
Now it seems that his judgment was very correct.
And after he sensed the aura of Nascent Soul Stage monks erupting in the stronghold, he quickly told Lord Silver Dragon to stop his attack.
Seeing that he stopped attacking, the Yuanying Stage monks from the Ice Prison Sect quickly emerged from the stronghold.
But he saw that this man was just like those killers, his whole body was wrapped in a white robe, only two small holes were opened on the mask, revealing a pair of bright eyes inside.
His eyes swept over Zhou Chun, and then he spoke in a low voice: "Your Excellency, is Master Chunjun from Jingguo? I don't know how our sect has offended fellow Taoists, so that they actually made them travel thousands of miles to attack our stronghold. !”
Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, since you recognize Zhou's origin, you should know why Zhou came to the door!"
These words immediately silenced the other party.
In fact, after recognizing Zhou Chun's identity, he knew he was in big trouble.
Back then, the Ice Prison Gate failed to assassinate Zhou Chun, but instead led to the disappearance of a very outstanding gold-medal killer of the sect. This incident can be said to be the most frustrating time for the Ice Prison Gate killers in the past few hundred years.
Later, Master Ziyang personally came to contact Zhou Chun, which made the two Nascent Soul Stage monks from Ice Prison Gate secretly surprised by Zhou Chun's strength, and they paid more attention to his intelligence from then on.
Although the information on the Ice Prison Gate has not yet been updated, there is no news about the success of the Mountain Negative Mountain Lord in overcoming the tribulation.
But judging from the intelligence information they already had, Zhou Chun was not someone to be trifled with.
Such a being is now knocking on the door, seeking an explanation for the assassination that year. For the Ice Prison Gate, it is also a very serious crisis.
If it is not handled well, even if the mountain gate of the Ice Prison Gate can be ensured to be intact, it is impossible for this stronghold to continue to exist no matter what.
After being silent for a while, the Ice Prison Sect Nascent Soul Realm slowly spoke: "The assassination of fellow Taoist Chunjun was indeed the fault of our sect. Our disciples have been killed by you, fellow Taoist, a long time ago, and our sect has not harassed fellow Taoist Chunjun over the years because of this matter, so why should you, fellow Taoist Chunjun, push even further!"
"What do you mean by going too far? You Ice Prison Sect people almost killed Zhou back then. With such deep hatred, how can you let go easily just because the murderer has been brought to justice!"
Zhou Chun looked directly at the other party with sharp eyes, and said in a cold tone: "If it is according to what you said, today Zhou will try to see if he can kill you. If he fails, he will just leave. Can you also have a big heart?" The magnanimous one no longer cares about anything!”
Hearing his words, the Ice Prison Sect Yuan Ying Stage Master immediately shook his head and said: "Fellow Taoist Chunjun has great supernatural powers. Naturally, I am no match for you. But if you want to kill me, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill me at all." possible!"
Having said this, he also looked at Zhou Chun with calm eyes and continued: "However, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. For a strong man like Chunjun, our Ice Prison Sect really does not want to make the hatred too strong. If Chunjun is If you are willing to be magnanimous and not care about the past, I will definitely be very grateful and you will be rewarded generously!"
When Zhou Chun heard this, his expression changed, and then he looked deeply at the Ice Prison Gate Yuan Yingqi master and said: "Then it depends on your sincerity!"
In fact, after he knew that the mountain gate of the Ice Prison Gate was difficult to find, he gave up the idea of killing this killer sect.
After all, if you don't kill the snake, you will suffer backlash.
If this killer sect cannot be dealt with in one fell swoop, both he and the Zhou family will suffer crazy revenge from him in the future.
But if he completely gave up the idea of seeking revenge because of this, it would be inconsistent with his own personality.
So getting some compensation from the Ice Prison Gate to make up for his injured soul has become the only thing he can do now.
Otherwise, he would not have waited until the real person from the Nascent Soul stage of the Ice Prison Sect appeared, and then he would have used all his strength to break the stronghold below!
Seeing the relief in his tone, the Yuan Ying Stage Master of the Ice Prison Sect also relaxed in his heart.
He quickly looked at him and said: "Then with the intention of fellow Taoist Chunjun, what kind of sincerity can satisfy you?"
"A spiritual treasure, or a [Infant Transformation Pill], or a fifth-level demon pill, in short, it must be something useful to Zhou!"
Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth like a lion.
Hearing his words, the face of the Ice Prison Sect Nascent Soul Realm hidden behind the mask suddenly twitched, and he looked at him angrily and said angrily: "Fellow Taoist Chunjun, don't say it's a joke, these things belong to our sect. We are very scarce ourselves, how can we have any extra to give to outsiders!”
Having said this, he looked at him very dissatisfied and said seriously: "Fellow Taoist, you should be more realistic!"
"Then let's change the request to something more practical. Zhou needs to use a lot of fourth-level [Ice Moon Toad] essence and blood to practice a secret technique, but Feixue Palace is unwilling to trade live [Ice Moon Toad] to Zhou. It's convenient. Zhou used essence and blood for a long time."
When Zhou Chun said this, he also looked deeply at the Ice Prison Sect Yuanying Stage Master and said: "If your Ice Prison Sect can provide Zhou with at least two live [Ice Moon Toads], Zhou will no longer care about the past." From now on, we will no longer owe each other any grudges!"
After listening to his words, the Yuan Ying Stage Master of the Ice Prison Gate couldn't help but frown.
I saw him murmuring to himself: "[Ice Moon Toad] is the lifeblood of Feixue Palace. Fei Baiyun regards them as more important than his own children and grandchildren, and wants to take away the living [Ice Moon Toad] from under his nose." Toad], this is not an easy task, and it will completely offend Feixue Palace!"
"This has nothing to do with Zhou. Anyway, Zhou has opened the conditions. If your Ice Prison Sect doesn't even have this bit of sincerity, then Zhou can only wait until his cultivation becomes stronger in the future before he comes to find you." Let’s try it out!”
Zhou Chun raised his eyelids and said this with a profound tone.
How could the Ice Prison Sect Nascent Soul Stage Master not hear the threat in his words?
With Zhou Chun's strength and talent, if he really improves his cultivation in the future, he might really have the strength to remain a monk in the early stages of Nascent Soul.
At that time, there will be a question mark as to whether the mountain gate of the Ice Prison Gate can still be hidden.
But facing this kind of threat from him, the Yuanying stage master of the Ice Prison Sect could not get even the slightest anger in his heart.
Because this is indeed what Ice Prison Gate is most worried about.
Otherwise, there would be no desire to reconcile with him.
So after being silent for a long time, he finally sighed softly: "That's all, I will try my best to do this, but we need some buffering in time, and the result may not be so fast!"
"It doesn't matter. Zhou can still afford to wait for three to five years."
Zhou Chun was overjoyed, but his face looked calm.
After reaching the agreement, Zhou Chun left the Ice Prison Gate stronghold and his whereabouts are unknown.
From the beginning to the end, he did not ask the name of the Yuanying stage master of the Ice Prison Sect, and the other party had no intention of mentioning it.
Both sides know very well that they are wary of each other now, and they have a tacit agreement not to touch certain sensitive topics.
Besides, after Zhou Chun left the Ice Prison Gate stronghold, he did not return directly to his family. Instead, he asked his avatar to take the [Moon Toad Orb] to the Xuanming Water Eye under the ice sheet to help absorb this spiritual treasure. Xuan Ming's cold energy restored its original power, and by the way, it also replenished the incarnation.
It was Feixue Palace itself that was rigid, otherwise Zhou Chun's original plan was to trade the [Ice Moon Toad] to him on the condition of sharing the Xuanming Water Eye here.
Now it can only be said that they, Feixue Palace, should not have had that opportunity and missed a treasured place that allowed the sect's strength to take off.
Otherwise, with their ice attribute sect's background, as long as the Xuanming cold energy here is properly utilized, it is not impossible to cultivate a real person in the Nascent Soul stage.
Now leaving the matter of stealing the [Ice Moon Toad] to the Ice Prison Sect is the best result for Zhou Chun.
He can achieve his goals without taking personal risks and responsibilities.
In the future, even if the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from Feixue Palace comes to Zhou's family in person, he can confidently say that he did not steal his [Ice Moon Toad]!
How can it be called stealing when someone gives a gift as an apology?
On the other side, after Zhou Chun arrived near the Xuanming Water Eye with the [Moon Toad Orb], he sacrificed this spiritual treasure to absorb the Xuanming cold energy escaping from the water.
At the same time, it itself also recovered the form of a one-horned white snake, silently absorbing the mysterious cold energy escaping from the water eyes.
This incarnation's previous cultivation had suffered a lot. If it were practiced on its own, it might take a hundred or two hundred years to recover.
Now, absorbing Xuanming's cold energy for refining can greatly shorten this process.
And this time Zhou Chun also brought the four [Six-winged Ice Silkworms] over and now he also released them.
As he expected, these [Six-winged Ice Silkworms] were also extremely thirsty for Xuanming's cold energy. As soon as they came out, they took the initiative to approach the Xuanming Water Eye to absorb the Xuanming's cold energy that had escaped from the water.
Soon after, the incarnation that had absorbed the cold air of Xuan Ming returned to Zhou Chun with the [Moon Toad Orb] and four [Six-winged Ice Silkworms] that had also been filled.
After he put away his avatar, spiritual treasures, and spiritual insects, he returned directly to his family.
When Zhou Chun returned to the family, many people didn't even know that he had gone out.
After he came back, he kept to himself as usual, and no news spread easily.
Five years have passed by in a flash.
One day five years later, a Golden Core monk from the Ice Prison Sect came to the Zhou family to pay homage to Zhou Chun, and then presented him with a spirit beast bag containing two third-level [Ice Moon Toad].
These two [Ice Moon Toads] are both male toads, one is a third-order mid-grade monster, and the other is a third-order low-grade monster.
After Zhou Chun accepted the two demon toads, without telling anyone, he directly asked the avatar to take them to the wilderness, placed them in the ice cave where the [Sky Frost Bees] were raised, and placed them in the ice cave. They are separated to avoid killing each other.
At the same time, his incarnation was placed directly in the ice cave to practice, and he also guarded and trained the two demon toads.
Some Jindan elders and Zifu period monks of the Zhou family also quickly received the task of finding relevant materials for refining the [Ancient Dust Pill] for the clan leader Zhou Zhengchun.
