Chapter 159 - Surging Dark Tide, A Huge Conspiracy

Yamamoto was a very cautious person.

In order to increase the effect of the [Wight Magic Pearl], he had already killed 25 Sixth Realm martial artists. Previously, he had killed them very secretly and only killed one at a time. Moreover, he had never killed the martial artists of the Secret Service Division. Therefore, he never alarmed the Secret Service Division in Kosaka City.

He was only five people away from the target of 30 Sixth Realm martial artists.

Therefore, this time, he planned to take advantage of the Hungry Ghost Village’s riot to kill the remaining 5 Sixth Realm martial artists at once and completely strengthen the [Wight Magic Pearl].

He was a Seventh Realm martial artist and could tame hungry ghosts to help him fight. It was only a matter of time before he killed all the Sixth Realm martial artists here.

In any case, he could blame everything on the hungry ghosts in the end. After killing these Sixth Realm martial artists and destroying their corpses, the Secret Service Division would not be able to find anything.

The female martial artist hiding in the basement was the last person.

Since that person had seen everything, it was naturally impossible for Yamamoto to leave her alive.

However, where did this person who suddenly appeared come from?!

Yamamoto’s head was buzzing.

His mind was filled with disbelief.

“Don’t kill me. I can give you anything you want. I just want you to spare my life.”

Yamamoto took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Poison Blade chuckled. “What can you give me?”

Yamamoto Tsubasa gritted his teeth. “2 million essence, 1 golden equipment, and 80 Mystic Realm Pearls.”

Lin Xuan curled his lips.

This guy was so poor.

“Take them all out,” he said indifferently.

Yamaguchi said in a low voice, “But what if you still want to kill me?”

Poison Blade gave a faint smile. “Your life is in my hands. I’m the one who makes the choice, not you.”

Yamamoto fell silent and slowly reached for the storage compartment.

Poison Blade’s eyes were also fixed on his hand.

The next moment, a smoke bomb suddenly exploded.

Poison Blade suddenly felt the person he was holding become slippery.

The next moment, Yamamoto actually directly escaped from him and quickly ran more than ten meters.

At the same time, he immediately ordered the three hungry ghosts to pounce over and stop Poison Blade.

“You want to kill me? Only in your next life!”

Yamamoto sneered and fled without looking back.

Bang!

The next moment, he collided with a solid chest.

“You have a lot of life-saving methods,” Poison Blade said with a grin.

His hand rose and his sword fell!

Blood splattered!

Poison triggered, bleeding triggered, critical hit triggered!

Yamamoto’s eyes widened in anger as he clutched his neck and fell to the ground.

Before he died, he still could not understand.

In order to save his life, he had specially obtained a set of equipment that increased his health points.

His health points were already one-third higher than ordinary mages.

Even so, he was actually instantly killed by this person in front of him!

What kind of monster was this guy…

However, just as this thought rose, darkness had already completely enveloped him.

Three items fell from his body.

300,000 essence, 20 Mystic Realm Pearls, and a magic pearl that emitted a foul smell.

“This is the Zombie Magic Pearl? After killing 20 Sixth Realm martial artists, the fourth effect will be unlocked. No wonder this guy is so determined to kill.”

Poison Blade shook his head and put these things into his bag.

Although it wasn’t much, it was still loot. He was not picky.

“Come out. You’re already safe.”

Poison Blade shouted.

Only then did the girl crawl out of the basement trembling.

Her face was pale, and her lips were pale.

There were also wounds on his arms and legs, seemingly caused by hungry ghosts. The flesh near the wounds had already rotted, emitting a faint stench.

“Thank… thank you!”

The girl sobbed softly.

Poison Blade sized her up and discovered that this girl was actually a little good-looking.

If not for her messy appearance and the wounds on her body, she would have been even prettier.

She did not give Lin Xuan the feeling that she was a heavenly fairy. Her facial features could only be considered exquisite, but for some reason, she looked very comfortable and gave off the feeling of a little sister next door.

Poison Blade also used an Observer skill.

Tianyu Lan was a level one Sixth Realm martial artist.

“Tianyu? Could she be the missing daughter of Forger Tianyu?” Lin Xuan’s heart stirred.

No way, no way. His avatar had just arrived in the High Heaven Plains and was about to earn battle merits when he actually saved the daughter of the deputy leader of the High Heaven Plains.

Would he be able to immediately gain the favor of the deputy leader?

“What’s your name? Let me send you away from here,” Poison Blade asked.

The girl whispered, “My name is… Lan, just take me out.”

Lin Xuan frowned slightly. This person did not want to expose her surname?

How could that be!

He wanted to bring her back to claim credit.

If the other party was unwilling to expose her name, how was he supposed to receive the credit?!

Thinking of this, he controlled Poison Blade and deliberately exclaimed, “Why do you look a little familiar? I remember now. You’re…”

The girl smiled bitterly and said, “The eldest daughter of the Tianyu family is called Tianyu Cai. My name is Tianyu Lan. I’ve served the Tianyu family for generations. Because I made a contribution, I was given the surname Tianyu.”

Lin Xuan: “???”

The girl had a miserable expression. “Miss has always had a bad relationship with Lord Tianyu. She found an opportunity to escape and got us servants to pretend to be her to enter the various mystic realms to distract people. I’m one of them.”

With that said, Tianyu Lan smiled miserably. “I really don’t understand why the pampered eldest daughter of the Tianyu family wants to run out every day. If I were her, I would want to stay in the Tianyu family forever.”

Poison Blade sighed.

Indeed.

Some were born in Rome, and some were born to be powerful.

This Tianyu Lan was usually ordered around by the eldest daughter as a servant. When the eldest daughter secretly ran out, she wanted these servants to pretend to be her and enter the dangerous mystic realm to divert the attention of the Tianyu family.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you out of here.” Poison Blade handed over a bottle of Life Potion and gestured for her to follow.

Tianyu Lan nodded.

However, they had only taken a few steps when Poison Blade heard the sound of fighting in front of him.

The hungry ghosts seemed to have been quickly killed by powerful martial artists and did not even have the ability to counterattack.

Through [High-Level Perception], he saw three martial artists in black.

He pondered slightly and his heart stirred.

When Murata gave him the mission, he even specifically said that Seventh Realm martial artists were very busy and did not have the time to come to the Hungry Ghost Village to save people.

However, the people in front could instantly kill the hungry ghosts. They were definitely at the Seventh Realm.

Poison Blade turned around and whispered, “What do the martial artists of the Tianyu family usually wear?”

Tianyu Lan was stunned. “White clothes, bird patterns.”

Poison Blade’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. “Go to the basement and hide first. The one killing the hungry ghost in front is very likely not a martial artist from the Tianyu family.”

Tianyu Lan nodded and hurriedly hid.

Poison Blade quickly dealt with Yamamoto’s corpse and immediately relied on the Shadow Cloak to hide in the shadows.

Soon, the three men in black killed all the hungry ghosts and strode towards the center of the village.

“Strange, where’s Yamamoto?”

“We specially led him into this mystic realm to kill anyone who might be Tianyu Cai. Could it be that he already left?”

“Impossible. The signal I left on him shows that he’s still in this mystic realm, but I can’t find his exact location.”

“Let’s search first. I have to silence Yamamoto and find that person from the Tianyu family.”

The three men in black immediately scattered and looked around.

Hearing all the conversation, Lin Xuan was shocked again.

Tianyu Cai was the eldest daughter of the Tianyu family who had escaped.

These three men in black actually wanted to kill everyone who was suspected to be Tianyu Cai.

Lin Xuan was very shocked.

Someone actually dared to touch the daughter of the deputy leader of High Heaven Plains!

“Even though I just arrived, I seem to have already gotten myself involved in a conspiracy.”

After a short moment of surprise, Lin Xuan was a little excited.

In any case, this was High Heaven Plains. No matter how these people schemed and killed, it did not matter.

He could do whatever he wanted.

What Lin Xuan was happy about was that he seemed to be able to muddy this mess even more!

“The three Seventh Realm martial artists have a cultivation of level six Seventh Realm, level five Seventh Realm, and level four Seventh Realm, respectively.”

“A level six Seventh Realm assassin.”

“The person at level five Seventh Realm is a mage.”

“The level four Seventh Realm is a warrior.”

Lin Xuan estimated and began to approach the mage.

A fragile mage with high attack and low health was the easiest to deal with.

These three men in black were all quite high-level. If he faced the three of them at the same time, the danger factor would be a little high.

Naturally, he had to kill at least one of them immediately.

After Lin Xuan made the plan, Poison Blade quickly carried it out.

“Strange… Many hungry ghosts here have died. Where is Yamamoto?”

The mage leaned down to investigate, unaware that a huge danger had descended behind him.

The next moment, a hand suddenly covered his mouth and nose.

The sharp poisoned dagger stabbed fiercely into his heart!

Critical Hit! Bleeding! Poisoned! Critical Hit!

This mage only had time to open his eyes wide and did not even have the chance to make a sound before he was instantly killed by Poison Blade!

After killing this person, Poison Blade quickly fused into the darkness and approached the warrior.

He did the same thing and also triggered critical hits to instantly kill the other party.

After killing two people in a row, Poison Blade was very satisfied and approached the last person, the assassin.

However, things did not go as smoothly this time.

The other party actually also had a skill like [Perception].

When Poison Blade was about five meters away from his back, this assassin actually relied on his muscle memory to instinctively attack from behind!

Poison Blade quickly raised his short sword to block.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding suddenly sounded in this gloomy and dead Hungry Ghost Village.

However, it was this assassin who retreated seven to eight steps.

His eyes widened in shock.

This person also looked like an assassin. However, why was this person so powerful?!

“Eh, your perception is not bad. You actually discovered that I was approaching from behind.” Poison Blade chuckled.

The assassin took a deep breath. In a short period of time, he had already sensed the difference in strength between the other party and him.

Therefore, he decided to… shout for help!

“Come over quickly! Someone attacked me here!”

However, after he shouted, the two companions actually did not react.

The assassin was first stunned before breaking out in cold sweat.

Poison Blade smiled and said, “Go ahead and shout. You won’t be saved even if you shout your throat out.”

The assassin gritted his teeth.

Even if he was a fool, he would still be able to understand the outcome of his two companions!

“I’ll kill you!”

The assassin took out a blood-colored pill from the storage compartment and placed it in his mouth.

In an instant, his aura soared like a ferocious demon!
