Chu Chen looked at his two capable subordinates and said, "We have to act quickly. Once we find out where they are, we have to kill them in one strike. We can't give them a chance to escape."
The two of them patted their chests and promised, "Don't worry, Captain. It's just a small stronghold. We promise to complete the mission."
…
Song Fan, who was in the Demon Subduing Academy, naturally saw the bounties and heard about the terrorist attack.
Those assassins' methods of revenge were so cruel that it made one's hair stand on end.
He had heard that someone had died in bed with their manhood cut off.
At that time, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his crotch.
"How cruel," he muttered to himself.
He was even more afraid to go out. No matter if it was food or accommodation, he would be in the Demon Suppression Academy. Moreover, he would bring Er Ha with him wherever he went. The man and the dog were inseparable, even when they slept.
It was better to be safe than sorry. Er Ha was a demon beast after all, and its sense of smell was quite sensitive. It could sense the arrival of danger in advance.
With Er Ha by his side, he felt much more at ease.
In a few days, the academy would hold a training event. Some students would go out to participate in activities and hunt demon beasts.
Wu Ju would also be participating. Originally, he had planned to invite Song Fan to form a team.
However, Song Fan did not plan to participate in the training activities. This was a critical period, and he did not want to take the risk. He planned to talk about it after some time.
Of course, he would not be idle. He planned to write an application and go to the Demon Subduing Pagoda to train with the demon beasts.
The demonic beasts in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda were not weaker than those outside. In fact, the demonic beasts there had higher and more ferocious rage values.
Training with the demon beasts there could also achieve the goal of increasing combat experience.
Everyone would change, and so would Song Fan.
In the past, because of his special status, his father did not love him and his mother did not care.
There was no one to teach or restrain him. He spent all his time drinking, drinking, and having fun.
Especially when he was so diligent in finding a female companion. It was like changing clothes. When he was tired of it, he would change.
Anyway, he had money. It was easy to find a female companion.
Until he went to Yang City and met Zhou Xuan. He was infected by Zhou Xuan's diligence.
Later on, he even experienced a terrifying beast tide and narrowly escaped death.
His thoughts gradually changed. He knew the importance of cultivation. Without powerful strength, no matter how much money he had, he would not be able to spend it.
In the end, he entered the Demon Subduing Academy and became the student of Lu Zhenxiong, an Advanced Instructor.
He also liked to eat, drink, and have fun, but in terms of cultivation, he became even more diligent and was willing to spend more time.
After experiencing another assassination attempt, he understood the importance of cultivation.
Since others wanted him dead, he had to live. Not only did he have to live, but he also had to live well.
"Some things, one day, I'm going to get it back with interest." He looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and swore.
"Woof, you can do it," Er Ha chimed in. "Woof, bring me to eat good food. Woof, bring me to drink spicy food. Woof, I want more little bitches."
…
In the suburbs, there was an ordinary ruin.
From the outside, it looked like a ruin, but in the basement, it was a completely different world.
The interior had been renovated into a bar. There was no lack of music, wine, and beautiful assassins.
It looked like an ordinary bar, but it was actually a secret small stronghold of the Ghost Group in the Demon Subduing City. It was not open to the public and was only for the leisure and communication of internal personnel.
Those who could come to this secret stronghold were all official yellow-level assassins. They had to have done missions and killed people.
Previously, Zhou Xuan had killed the Assassin Running Wolf, who was a frequent visitor here.
As for people like Qi Hai who planned to join the Ghost Group, they were not qualified to come here before they were promoted to yellow-level assassins.
The lights were dim and the music was low.
Seven or eight killers were drinking and talking about the latest revenge operation.
"Black dog, you can't do it. We sent out two people this morning, but it ended before it even started. They entered the Law Enforcement Bureau, so don't even think about coming out," a yellow-clothed assassin mocked as he drank his drink.
It turned out that the corridor cleaner and the housekeeping woman caught by the law enforcement bureau in the morning were sent out by the assassin with the code name Black Dog to take revenge. However, they did not succeed.
Although the two of them had been captured, the assassins here were not worried because they were just cannon fodder and did not know the existence of this stronghold.
The assassin codenamed Black Dog, who was dressed in black, looked at the other party and said indifferently, "They're just two cannon fodder. If they die, so be it. Lynx, don't talk about me. It's been a few days, but you haven't even killed a student. Where's your face?"
When the assassin codenamed Lynx heard this, he could not help but curse and reply, "I can kill that target called Song Fan with a finger, but that kid is too cowardly. He has been staying in the Demon Subduing Academy and hasn't come out. I don't know where to start."
The black dog said teasingly, "As long as your thoughts don't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. I think you just can't do it. Don't make excuses."
"You're the one who can't." Lynx was clearly excited. "Just you wait. I'll go camp now and find an opportunity to kill him. You guys wait to drink my celebratory wine."
"Hehe, go ahead. I'll wait." Black Dog looked like he was watching a show.
When he saw the Lynx leave, he immediately revealed a murderous expression and began to assign a new revenge mission.
…
In the Suppression Tower, Zhou Xuan continued to sign in after he obtained the Mind Controlling Technique from the fox demon.
After signing in on a tree demon known as the Old Demon of the Black Mountain, he obtained a Dao Fruit.
He then signed in on a centipede demon that was one meter long and obtained a drop of venom.
The venom was called Centipede Intoxication, and it could easily kill a Gold Five-Star or Six-Star cultivator. If the venom entered the wine, the toxicity would double. At that time, even a seven or eight-star Gold cultivator would be poisoned.
Dao Fruits were used to condense Dao Bodies. He had already obtained two Dao Fruits and condensed two Dao Bodies.
Now, he had obtained the third Dao Fruit.
He immediately circulated the Three Worlds Heavenly Technique and successfully condensed a third Dao Body, which was his future body.
In this way, it meant that he had a third life. Even if two of the Daoist Bodies were destroyed, as long as one of them was not destroyed, he would not die.
Moreover, with the addition of the third Dao Body, his cultivation would improve even faster.
The Demon Subduing Pagoda was a place that suppressed demonic beasts. It was a place that many people were afraid of.
However, in Zhou Xuan's opinion, no one dared to barge in here. It was the safest place.
Therefore, he made his Future Life Dao Body become an invisible person and cultivate in peace in the Demon Subduing Pagoda. He did not show his face outside so that his life could be guaranteed.
Even if his Previous Life Dao Body was in trouble and his Current Life Dao Body was in trouble, as long as his Future Life Dao Body was still around, he would not die.
By the time he finished arranging everything, it was already ten o'clock at night.
He did not stay any longer and left the Demon Subduing Pagoda.
Outside the Demon Subduing Academy, the assassin codenamed Lynx disguised himself as a shoe polisher and had been camping. His target was Song Fan.
Song Fan did not appear, but he was patient. He squatted until past ten in the evening.
At this moment, his peers who were polishing their leather shoes began to close their stalls. He had to leave too, or he would be exposed.
He glanced at the entrance of the Demon Subduing Academy and frowned. "Did I work hard for nothing again today?"
Just as he was about to close his stall, he suddenly realized that someone had walked out of the entrance of the Demon Subduing Academy. At that moment, he could not hide the excitement in his heart.
"Target has appeared."
