Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

274. Chapter 274 Assassin!

Chapter 274: Assassin!

"Suohe, Suohe!"

"Where did this girl run off to? We have an esteemed guest, why hasn't she brought tea yet?!"

Entering the house, they took their seats as host and guest.

Old Shanzhang looked around and shouted loudly.

"Here she comes, sir. The servant went to boil water, the tea leaves were just steeped!"

As they spoke, a little maid dressed in gray clothes entered the hall carrying a teapot and tea bowls.

"Grandfather, who is she?"

Liu Yun looked at the unfamiliar maid who had entered and asked Liu Chang directly.

Liu Chang slapped his forehead and realized belatedly, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce her to you!"

"This girl is called Suohe. She was sent by the county magistrate to serve me. I couldn't refuse."

"But this girl is quite sensible and hardworking. Thanks to her, grandfather was taken care of while you were away."

"Oh."

Liu Yun lightly responded, looking at Suohe with a skeptical expression.

Meanwhile, Liu Zimo noticed the three-foot green light on Suohe's forehead as soon as she entered.

With a thought, he instantly bound Suohe as his "good sister."

[Binding successful! Your good sister Yin Susu has come online. Currently, you can bind 143/1000 objects.]

Seeing the constantly flashing exclamation mark next to her, Liu Zimo casually clicked on it.

[Name] Yin Susu

[Age] 322

[Spirit Roots] Medium-grade Wood Spirit Root, Medium-grade Water Spirit Root, Low-grade Fire Spirit Root

[Cultivation Realm] Core Formation Third Stage

[Cultivation Techniques] Nine Turns of Green Wood, Divine Breath Technique, Mist Concealment Technique, Sword Control Technique...

Three hundred years old, Core Formation Third Stage!

Liu Zimo's brows furrowed slightly.

Which county magistrate would have such face to assign a cultivator at the Core Formation Third Stage to be a maid in the Liu family?

The even more crucial issue was that Yin Susu had also cultivated the Divine Breath Technique!

According to the information Liu Zimo had seen in the library, the Divine Breath Technique was an exclusive breathing technique of the Louwailou, not widely known.

And Louwailou was notorious throughout the entire Transcendent realm, known as an assassin organization.

As long as there was money and spirit stones, they dared to kill anyone and take on any mission!

"It's obvious that Liu Yun has been targeted by the Louwailou assassins!"

Liu Zimo shook his head speechlessly.

Indeed, the bird that sticks its head out gets shot.

Liu Yun's talent was truly astonishing, and she had gained too much attention in the Qingyun Immortal Sect. That's why people were jealous and paid to have her killed.

A Core Formation Third Stage professional assassin against Liu Yun at the Core Formation First Stage, in a calculated attack, the probability of Liu Yun's death was almost one hundred percent.

Liu Zimo turned his head and glanced at Liu Yun, seeing that although the little maid's face showed displeasure, she had no sense of vigilance at all. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

She's still too young, too inexperienced. The assassin was already standing right in front of her, yet the little maid hadn't noticed a thing.

Just as Liu Zimo was thinking about how to help Liu Yun resolve the disaster in front of her without anyone noticing, Yin Susu, who had already approached, suddenly transformed into a white light and instantly charged towards Liu Zimo's position.

Liu Zimo was startled.

What the hell!

Is this a mistake?!

This assassin is actually not targeting Liu Yun, but her main assassination target is me?!

Liu Zimo's mind was shaken, extremely speechless.

I'm just a useless servant who poses no threat to anyone. How could I be targeted by someone?

Could it be Ji Changming?

Or Tang Ziyin?

Or maybe someone has set their sights on the position of the library's servant and wants to replace me?

In an instant, Liu Zimo's thoughts were spinning, thinking of countless possibilities.

"Brother Liu, be careful!"

Just as the white light was about to hit Liu Zimo's face, Liu Yun finally reacted belatedly.

However, with her Core Formation cultivation level, even if she reacted, there was no way she could stop Yin Susu's attack. She could only watch helplessly as the assassin's blade swiftly slashed towards Liu Zimo's head.

"No!"

Liu Yun shouted in despair, her eyes instantly turning red.

Boom!

Just as she thought Brother Liu was about to meet his demise, and the immortal energy within her was about to explode.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed before her eyes.

A layer of golden fire instantly enveloped Liu Zimo's entire body from the inside out.

The short blade aimed at Liu Zimo's face turned into molten iron the moment it touched the light shield.

And the assassin, due to inertia, charged straight towards the light shield in front of Liu Zimo.

Then, in the assassin's eyes filled with surprise and despair, divine fire erupted and instantly turned the assassin into a pile of ashes!

[Your good sister Yin Susu has had a string of bad luck and misfortunes, burned to ashes by divine fire, no remains!]

['Heaven-stealing' innate talent passive triggered, you inherit half of the remaining gifts left by your good sister Yin Susu before her death, Divine Breath Technique +30, Mist Concealment Technique +20, Immortal Dao cultivation +80, Divine Soul Origin +50.]

[Your good sister Yin Susu has logged out, currently available binding targets (142/1000).]

At the same time Yin Susu turned into ashes, Liu Zimo also heard the related prompt sound in his ear.

Immediately, a large amount of cultivation power and technique information surged into his body and sea of consciousness.

Liu Zimo closed his eyes slightly, quietly refining and absorbing everything.

"[Qiankun Divine Fire Shield]?!"

Liu Yun exclaimed beside him, crying tears of joy.

Not until she saw that layer of golden flame shield did she realize the reputation of this Brother Liu within the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

He was not only favored by the senior librarian, but also possessed the exclusive library gold token with the function of [Qiankun Divine Fire Shield]!

It was said that even the inner sect elder Ji Changming had suffered a great loss in front of Brother Liu before.

Now, witnessing the powerful might displayed by the [Qiankun Divine Fire Shield] ignited on Liu Zimo's body, Liu Yun was both pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but gasp in awe.

She had seen it clearly just now, the cultivation realm displayed by the assassin in the moment of his cultivation eruption was definitely Core Formation stage, and it was far above her own.

However, even so, the opponent was instantly burned to ashes under the passive counterattack of the "Qiankun Divine Fire Cover".

Not only did they not have a chance to resist, they didn't even have time to let out a scream!

It's really terrifying!

No wonder even Elder Ji, who was already in the Gold Core realm, suffered a big loss under the power of this treasure.

"What... what happened?"

"Why did Suhe disappear out of nowhere?"

Elder Liu Chang's face turned pale with fright. How could a living person just disappear like that?

After all, he was just an ordinary person with limited vision.

Just now, he didn't even see Yin Susu's attempt to assassinate Liu Zimo clearly.

He only saw his beloved maid, Suhe, suddenly appear in front of Liu Zimo, and then be burned to ashes by the golden flames erupting from Liu Zimo's body.

It feels like a dream, completely unreal, right?

"Grandfather, haven't you figured it out yet? This Suhe is not just a maid, but a malicious assassin!"

Liu Yun took a deep breath and explained softly to Liu Chang,

"Just now, she attacked Brother Liu with a cultivation level several levels higher than mine!"

"If Brother Liu didn't have his own opportunities and a protective treasure on him, this time might have been very dangerous!"

"Hmph, there was actually an assassin lurking by grandfather's side. I must have a good talk with the county lord about this!"

Liu Yun's face was frosty, and a murderous intent flickered in her eyes.

"Assassin? How could it be an assassin?" Liu Chang's face was full of disbelief. "Suhe has been here for almost half a year and has always behaved normally..."

Swish!

Liu Zimo's mind moved, and he instantly retracted the golden flames on his body.

Although the Book Pavilion's Golden Order, which has the function of the "Qiankun Divine Fire Cover," was not allowed to be taken out of the Qingyun Immortal Sect and had already been handed over to the Miscellaneous Hall before leaving the mountain.

But just in case, Liu Zimo secretly copied a similar waist token several months ago.

It also engraved the relevant formation of the "Qiankun Divine Fire Cover," and the power of the formation was even stronger than that of the Book Pavilion's Golden Order.

Unexpectedly, it was put to use so quickly.

Seeing Liu Yun's reaction, Liu Zimo knew that his imitation was very successful.

Liu Yun naturally attributed the appearance of the "Qiankun Divine Fire Cover" to the Book Pavilion's Golden Order.

"Although she is an assassin, she may not be the Suhe that Elder Liu mentioned!"

Hearing Liu Chang's muttering, Liu Zimo softly continued,

"Elder Liu can send someone to search the nearby room. Suhe might still be alive!"

After discovering Yin Susu's abnormality, Liu Zimo quietly extended his spiritual sense and searched the entire Liu family's stronghold. He easily found the little maid who was unconscious in the firewood room.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chang quickly got up and left the living room with people to search for Suhe's whereabouts.

At this point, Liu Yun's emotions had calmed down. She glanced at the black ashes on the ground and waved her right hand, causing a gust of wind to blow them away.

"Liu Zimo, I heard from Senior Sister that the Book Pavilion's Golden Order can only be used within the Qingyun Immortal Sect and is not allowed to be taken out of the mountain gate. How did you...?"

Liu Zimo chuckled dismissively,

"The Book Pavilion's Golden Order is indeed not allowed to be taken out of the mountain gate, and my Golden Order was already handed over to the Miscellaneous Hall last night."

"However, the senior bookkeeper was worried that I might encounter danger outside the mountain, so he gave me another treasure for self-defense."

Liu Yun nodded understandingly upon hearing this.

I have long heard that Brother Liu is highly regarded by the senior bookkeeper, and now it seems to be true.

"In addition, after seeing you yesterday, the senior bookkeeper also liked you very much and asked me to bring some cultivation resources for you!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo reached into his pocket and took out a prepared storage ring, handing it to Liu Yun.

Inside the ring were the treasures and elixirs that Liu Zimo had accumulated over the past six months, which could help Liu Yun quickly improve her cultivation level.

"What?" Liu Yun widened her eyes in surprise. "The senior bookkeeper actually gave me some cultivation resources?"

Is it true or not?

When she entered the library yesterday, she didn't even see the senior bookkeeper.

"Of course!" Liu Zimo lied with his eyes wide open. "The senior bookkeeper thinks highly of you and said that you will be the pillar of Cuizhu Peak in the future. He hopes you will grow up quickly!"

"But the senior bookkeeper has a peculiar temper and doesn't like talking to people, so he asked me to bring these things to you."

"In addition, the senior bookkeeper specifically instructed that you should keep this to yourself and not tell anyone else, otherwise the true disciples of other peaks might say he is biased."

Liu Yun, with a confused expression, took the storage ring and scanned it with her spiritual sense. The astonishment in her eyes grew even stronger.

"Millennial Blood Lingzhi, Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow, top-grade Yuanqi Pill..."

"These things are all among the top ten treasures in the sect's treasury, and even true disciples can only exchange them in limited quantities!"

"There are too many, too many. With my current cultivation level, I can't use them all!"

Liu Yun looked extremely surprised and delighted.

She never expected that the senior bookkeeper would be so generous, giving away so many precious resources that most true disciples could only dream of obtaining!

It can only be said that the senior bookkeeper, who is respected even by the head of Qingyun, is so generous with everything he gives away!

Originally, the little girl had some doubts whether Brother Liu was deliberately making up for her.

But after seeing so many precious treasures in the storage ring, Liu Yun's doubts disappeared.

These extremely precious cultivation resources, even her peak master might not be able to obtain so many at once, let alone Brother Liu, who is just a miscellaneous disciple.

"So, this is really a gift from the senior bookkeeper?"

"I actually received the favor of the senior bookkeeper, just like Brother Liu?!"

"Or is it that the senior bookkeeper is showing favor to Brother Liu and giving me so many cultivation resources because of his face?"

For a while, Liu Yun's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

As a newly admitted true disciple, when has she ever seen so many precious cultivation resources?

Compared to the elixirs and spiritual herbs that her master had given her before, they were nothing at all!

"These things are nothing to the senior bookkeeper, who is an extraordinary person. Just keep them if they are given to you!"

"If you don't accept them, the senior bookkeeper will be unhappy if he finds out."

Liu Zimo said softly, "If you really feel guilty, you can spend more time in the library when you have free time. The senior bookkeeper likes and appreciates disciples who love reading and are willing to read!"

Liu Yun nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

"I understand. I will go to the library whenever I have free time!"

"My master has awakened my intelligence, and I can read now. My master also said that he will let me read more books and broaden my knowledge when I have time!"

Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction.

Reading makes one wise, and he likes good children who love reading and learning!
