Chapter 633: Wind Tigers and Cloud Dragons Elders


    The ghostexined to methatthisInvisible Needle wasmade from astrand of hairofthe rabbit. Every creature hadaunique feature. This rabbit had extremely silky but tough hair.


    Moreover, the rabbit had cultivated for years to makethisInvisible Needle. It wanted to use the needle to exchange for some years of receiving offerings from the mortals.However,it was tricked.Thatwas the reason why it had killed the middle-aged man.


    Then, the ghost wearingaChinese tunic gown told me how to use the Invisible Needle. The needle could change itsshape easilyand was pretty tough. I could use it as a hidden weapon.


    The best feature of this needle was that if I poured my blood into it, I could use my thoughts to control it to kill people orfetchsomethingfroma distance.


    After listening to him, I really liked the Invisible Needle. I thought that if I had it, it would be easier to deal with otherworldly items.


    Do you know the price of the needle?


    Oh, I dont know The ghost wearing a tunic gown waved his hand.He went to another stall after that. Fortunately, Chuyi could talk with spirits. As he saw that I wanted to know more about the needle, he then talked to the rabbit.


    After a moment of listening to some squeaking Ididntunderstand, Chuyigrimaced.He frowned then turned to me. It said that itisafraid of getting tricked again. This time, itwants blessings for fiveyears. Moreover, you have to sign a contract with it right here.


    I was surprised. Signing a contract was a normal event, which was simr toacontract in the mortal world. As I really wanted to buy it, signing the contract here wasnt a problem.The onlyproblemwas that the rabbitwantedblessings forfive yearsin a row! What a rip-off!


    It meant that for the next five years, every good deed Ididwould be counted for the rabbit!


    To ordinarypeople, five years withoutblessingswouldnt be a big deal. But inourbusiness, it was really dangerous.


    However, I just hesitated for a while before giving the rabbit a nod of agreement. I bit my fingerand was readyto dropmyblood into the rabbits mouth. As long as it drank my blood, our deal wouldgointoeffect.


    Chuyi suddenly pushed my arm awayand rolledhis eyes at me.Are you crazy? Dont you know whatit means to give up the blessings of fiveyears?


    I know, but I need to make myself stronger!


    Although Id solved many foul things, Ihad always beenunder the protection of Chuyi,Senior Shu, and Zen MasterBaimei. It was rare to have a chance to strengthen myself like this. I shouldnt let it slip away.


    You


    Chuyi was angry. His faceturnedred. He pointed at me as though he wanted to say something. I took the chancewhilehewasntpaying attention to jumptoward therabbit and drop my blood into its mouth.


    The rabbitraisedboth of its front legsand broughtthem together to show its gratitude to me. Then, it disappeared. The Invisible Needle slowly floated up and flew to my palm.


    Chuyi was bewilderedafter seeingthis. After the onlookers scattered,wereturned to the inn. At that time, Chuyi finally pulled himself together. He kicked me,causing me to rolltothe ground. He shouted, Youvelost your mind!


    I know my limits. I smiled and got up from the ground. I knew he was angry because he was worriedaboutme.


    He snorted and ignored me,and strodetoward the inn. I rushed behind him. When wereturned, Zen MasterBaimeiwas up. I took the chance and ignored my pride,and triedto earn Chuyis favor. Moreover, Zen MasterBaimeialsovouchedfor me. Finally, Chuyiwas no longermad at me. He spoke coldly, Dont do that again.


    Afterthatrecent event, my stomach growled. Chuyi, can we eat the food here?


    It wasnt a problem to stay in a ghostly inn.However,I found it hard toeatat a ghostly restaurant. Only Godknewwhat theywere usingto cook the food!


    Chuyi shot me a nce. There are many restaurants run by living humans here. They only open for a few days during the trade conference. These restaurants cant earn money. The owners just want tobefriend someexperts here and increase theirgood luck.


    I could finally ease my mindand followedhim to a restaurant calledReincarnation.


    The restaurant was decorated with touches of ancient times, and the waiters wore ancient garments. When the manager saw Chuyi, he immediately came to greet him. It seemed Chuyi was a regr diner here.


    The lobby was big. It hada few tables,witha set ofteawareand a newly brewed teapot oneach of them. I guessed these tables were reserved for those who wanted to have a seat and take a rest. The manager took us upstairs. There were some private rooms. Since no onehadehere for lunch or dinner, they didnt have many private rooms. Not long after we took a seat, the manager returned with food.The foodlooked clean. As I wasstarving,I directly dug in.


    Tomorrow is July 15th.I think theLongquan Vis people wirrivetoday.


    Whileeating, Chuyisaid,Although they wouldnt dare to do anythingduring the event, they may do something in the dark. You have to be careful.


    Yeah, dont let them get the better of you. They are good at making trouble. We want to find the mermaidstears, so trouble isnt good for us, saidZen MasterBaimei. Then, hetried to refrain himself from watching the food. He used his chopsticks to pick somevegetablesto eat.


    Iwasntreallyworriedabout the people from the Longquan Vias I would be withChuyi and Zen MasterBaimeiall the time. The only thing I was worried about now was the possibility of finding the mermaids tears here.


    At thismoment, I heardpeoplewalking outside. From the different noises, I thought there were four or five people. Curiously, I turned to the door to see. The manager wastalking to fourpeople. They were headedto the private room next to ours.


    This group of four included three men and a woman. The leader looked young with porcin skin. Two gray-haired menthat appeared to be the young mans bodyguards,escortedhim. Theyhad formidablemurderous auras.The woman wore sexy clothes. She looked strangely beautiful, just like an exotic flower.


    WhileI was looking at them, theyalsolookedat us. The young man was surprisedto seeme. Then, hebecameenraged and shouted, Zhang Jiulin!


    What?


    Hes Zhang Jiulin!


    When he said that,besidesthe restaurants manager, the other three people changed theirexpressions.They all turnedangryas though they had a great grudge against me!


    It took me a moment to react. Theycould bethe people from the Longquan Vi! As soon as I was about to retreat, the woman grabbed somethingfromher waist and threw it toward me.


    By the time I saw herthrow the hidden weapon, it was toote to avoid her attack. Fortunately, Chuyi had used his eight-faceted Han sword todeflectthe hidden weapons.


    After a series of nging noises, the hidden weapons were nailed deep into the wall. Evenaftershing withthe Han sword,thehidden weaponshada lot ofpower. It was enough to tell how strong the womans wrist was!


    When the others saw Zen MasterBaimeiand Chuyi, they changed theirexpressions. But soon, their fire-ring eyes were fixed on me.


    Chuyiwithdrewhis sword. He looked at the woman. Hisvoicegrewcold. Yi Zhangqing, what do you want?


    So the womans name was Yi Zhangqing, One Inch of Blue.From her appearance, I could understand it. She wore blue garmentsand her hair was dyedlight blue. Itgave her a seductivebutaggressivelook.


    Yi Zhangqing shot Chuyi a look. Before she could speak, the young man who had recognized me took a step forward. Looking at Chuyi, he said, You alsohavea hand in the murder of Elder Xiang, right?


    Yeah. Chuyi disdainfully withdrew his long sword. If you wanna fight, Ill be here after the Ghost Market is over!Butnow, youd better behave.


    Chuyiseyes became sharpas he assessedeach of them. Then, he weighed his Han sword. Actually, its okay tofightnow. Im not sure if IcanhandlethreeElders at the same time, but Im sure we can mess up this Ghost Market. We will all be expelledfor sure.


    You


    The young man pointed at Chuyi, but he didnt dare to attack. He gritted his teethand saidto the other three, Lets go!


    Then, he took the leadand wentdownstairs. Aftertheyleft, Chuyi exhaledand said,I was worried that they would attack us. I didnt expectto seeRyuzawa Ichiro. It seems the Longquan Vi wouldnt y iteasy this time.


    Ryuzawa Ichiro?


    I repeated the name doubtfully. It sounded like a Japanese name.


    Chuyi nodded. Yeah, Ryuzawa Ichiro is the youngest man. Hes the adopted son of the Longquan Vis Master, the Young Master of the Longquan Vi.


    People rumored that Ryuzawa Ichiro was the son of the best ninja in Japan. However, his family was eradicated when he was just a child. The Master of the Longquan Vi adopted himafter that. Since the Master didnt have any children, he loved andspoiledRyuzawa Ichiro.


    Ryuzawa Ichiro was powerful, and he knew ninjutsu.


    You shouldnt get involved with Ryuzawa Ichiro.


    I smiledand shookmy head.Itwasntsomething that acting carefully could solve. Would I smile and wee themiftheycameto my door?


    Ryuzawa Ichirohad hisninjutsu, but the other three also had rtively strong powers.


    Standing on his left was the One-armed Dragon. He was the oldestElder, and the leader of the Wind Tigers and Cloud Dragons. He was also the strongest. In the Longquan Vi, his cultivation base was only behind the Vi Master. Chuyi wasnt his equal opponent.


    In the past, afterhe wasbitten by a thousand-year Corpse King, he gritted his teeth and chopped off his own arm. It was enough to make me scared. He didnt care about his limb. How could he show mercy to me when he dealt with me?


    The old man standing on Ryuzawa Ichiros right was called Yin-Yang Tiger, also oneof the four Great Elders. His best feature was his pair of Yin and Yang eyes. He could see the Yin energy and the hidden dangers. People said that his eyes worked perfectly well bothday and night. As he was here, all of our movescouldbeseen through. I was sweating.


    Yi Zhangqing was thestElder, whose alias was Wind. She was an expertat usingfast-as-wind hidden weapons.


    Ever since she was young,she went through the eviltraining processofthe Longquan Vi. Shehadturned into an emotionless killing machine. Her first mission, which was also her graduating mission, was to kill her mother.


    When Chuyi said that, I couldnt help but interrupt him. I askedincredulously,Shekilledher mother?


    Yeah.


    Chuyi nodded. Yi Zhangqing didnt have a father. She lived with her mother, and they loved each other a lot. Onlybykilling the one she loved the most would make her a real assassin who could kill without blinking. After murdering her mother, Yi Zhangqing gradually built her name here. These years, shes in charge oftheLongquan Vis assassinating operations.
