Chapter 254 Mysterious Poison Master
Zhu Mansion in the north city of Jialou City.
In the meeting hall, Zhu Junhao's face was extremely gloomy. What happened one after another has already made him very anxious.
Originally, in order to attack Bai Peng, he followed Hu Ruyan's plan and used Wu Yan as bait to go to Tianxiang Pavilion to lure Zhihu Yang out and take the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop. In his opinion, he brought twenty ghost warriors and two black wind knights, plus Yuan Honglie and Zhu Jiufu were secretly cooperating with him, with himself and Hu Ruyan in the middle. Such an arrangement was completely sufficient to deal with that Zhihu Foreign.
Unfortunately, the reality was far from what he expected. Others may not know it, but he knows it very well. There is no way that the killer of the Immortal Slayer will appear in Jialou City. In recent days, Zhu Junjie has received secret reports one after another that the Immortal Sword Sect, the Buddha Palace, etc. are ready to make a move, especially the Buddha Palace, which had launched an attack on several secret strongholds of the Demon Palace in Donghuang and Tianlang County the day before yesterday. This is the rhythm that ignites the flames of war. At this critical moment, the inside and outside of Jialou City have been heavily guarded, and all people with suspicious behavior have been secretly monitored by the Night Demon Camp of the Duwei Mansion.
The Immortal Slayer Sect has long been listed on the list of people closely monitored by the Demon Mansion. The killer monks with some reputation in its sect have been listed by the commander of the Night Demon Army of the Demon Mansion and sent to the commanders of the Night Demon Camps in various castles. in hand.
Therefore, Zhu Junhao had already calculated it in advance. If Bai Peng really wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Wu Yan, he would most likely send the insect demon who had never shown up before him or Jin Wuming, who had always been by his side.
After all the calculations, Zhu Junhao never expected that Zi Luo Lan, the majestic deputy captain of Jia Lou City, would turn into an assassin and assassinate Wu Yan with her famous special skills.
Yuan Honglie and Zhu Jiufu, the coordinators she secretly deployed, were dismissed by this woman under various pretexts at that time.
He went to his elder brother Zhu Junjie to roar and ask for an explanation. Zhu Junjie just said indifferently, "Why don't you go to her to argue with her yourself?" and dismissed him. Zhu Junhao was very doubtful, was this his biological brother?
Zhu Junyu was overly sad because of Wu Yan's disappearance. This matter attracted Zhu Junjie's great attention, and he scolded his second brother for this. In addition, Zhu Junyu had stolen a large number of poisons from Tianji's arsenal in the past few days. In anger, Zhu Junjie put Zhu Junyu under house arrest. After the matter at the Buddha Palace was resolved, he would personally escort her back to Fengdu City and not allow her to step into the Northland again.
Because of this matter, Zhu Junhao has now fallen into a passive situation. In addition, he has lost Wu Yan, a master of poison. I am afraid that he will no longer need to participate in this demon mansion battle assessment, lest he lose too badly and be embarrassed.
The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Junhao felt the anger in his chest. He looked at Hu Ruyan next to him fiercely, and a vicious plan was brewing in his heart without knowing it.
He frowned and was about to speak. At this moment, he heard the steward outside the palace report to him at the door: "Second Master, a person just came from outside the palace. He said he was your friend and wanted to see you. I wonder if you want to meet me?”
Zhu Junhao was furious when he heard this and immediately shouted: "Go away! Who dares to call me a friend in this Garuda City? If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of your bullshit!"
The steward was startled. Although he knew that the second young master had been in a bad mood recently, but thinking of what the man said just now, he still had the courage to murmur: "Yes, yes! It's just that, second master, that man asked the villain to tell this letter Give the talisman to you, he said, you will definitely see him after seeing it."
Zhu Junhao was furious. A servant dared to be so bold and presumptuous in front of him and refused to obey his orders. This made him more and more anxious. However, his usual suspicion still made him hold back his anger. He twisted his eyebrows and walked over. At the door, he said to the steward: "Bring the letter talisman!"
The steward hurriedly handed him a letter talisman with both hands, then carefully stepped aside and waited for orders.
Zhu Junhao took the letter talisman and did not immediately inject mana. Instead, with a slight movement of his eyes, a ray of consciousness swept over the letter talisman.
It was just a very ordinary messenger talisman, and there was no manipulation on it. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the corner of the letter talisman, and he saw that at the corner of the yellow letter talisman, there was a line of tiny transparent writing. It would be difficult to spot it if you didn't look carefully.
Zhu Junhao glanced at the line of handwriting, and immediately said to the other three people in the meeting hall expressionlessly: "Okay, that's it for today. You leave first, and come back here tomorrow to discuss how to participate in the assessment battle."
The three of them looked shocked. Hu Ruyan rolled her eyes and her eyes fell on the letter charm in Zhu Junhao's hand. However, she didn't ask anything, just said goodbye and left immediately.
Zhu Junhao put the letter talisman into his arms and immediately walked out of the meeting hall and returned to his residence. A few moments later, he changed into extremely ordinary clothes and walked out again. He walked all the way through the hall and appeared at the gate of Zhu's mansion.
But I saw the empty square outside the house, the night breeze was blowing, and the shadows were dim. Where was anyone?
The strange thing is that Zhu Junhao was not surprised, nor did he stop. Instead, he left the Zhu Mansion directly without carrying a single entourage, and walked unhurriedly towards an area in the city where mortals lived.
After circling most of the area where mortals live, Zhu Junhao is now reaching the high wall in the backyard of a shop called "Zhang Ji Iron Shop". However, the door of this iron shop is closed, and there is no sound in the courtyard. , obviously the owner has fallen asleep.
Zhu Junhao glanced around vigilantly, but did not find that he was being followed. He immediately stood up and easily escaped into the backyard of the "Zhang Ji Iron Shop".
After a few moments, Zhu Junhao returned, but beside him there was a very ordinary-looking young man in a dark green robe. Zhu Junhao glanced around with a strange look on his face, led the man away from here in a hurry, and went straight to Zhu Mansion.
After returning to Zhu Mansion, Zhu Junhao arranged this mysterious young man in a separate courtyard. There were no servants arranged in it, and he even gave a strange order that no one was allowed to approach this courtyard.
The two conspired in this courtyard for a night, and the next day Zhu Junhao did what he had to do as usual.
This matter spread in Zhu Mansion for a while, and everyone began to discuss it quietly in private, wondering who was in that separate courtyard that made the second son of Zhu so important.
During this period, even Hu Ruyan, who was always the most valued by the second son Zhu, wanted to investigate who was in the courtyard privately after learning about this. Unexpectedly, when Zhu Junhao learned about her move, she was reprimanded by Zhu Junhao without mercy.
Since then, no one in the Zhu Mansion dared to visit the courtyard.
As the date of the battle assessment was getting closer and closer, because the mood of the young master Zhu Junhao had recovered, the atmosphere in the Zhu Mansion was more relaxed than ever before. In the whole courtyard, it seemed that everything was normal except for the courtyard where the mysterious young man was. However, what surprised everyone was that the second son Zhu had issued a death order since the arrival of the mysterious young man, that no one was allowed to leave the Zhu Mansion before the battle assessment.
So, as the date of the battle assessment was getting closer and closer, everyone attributed the reason why the mood of the second son Zhu Junhao Zhu had improved to the mysterious young man in the courtyard.
Because, just one day before the battle assessment, Zhu Junhao suddenly went to the Duwei Mansion in person and changed the name of the original assistant master "Yuling Poison Master", removing the two words "Yuling" in front, leaving only the name "Poison Master". This move does not violate the rules of the battle assessment. Even if Bai Peng knew it, he would have no choice but to find fault. Therefore, everyone became more curious about the mysterious young man called "Poison Master" who replaced the original "Yuling Poison Master".
When this news reached Bai Peng's ears, it really made Master Peng furious. He didn't get any information in advance about such an important thing happening in the opponent's mansion. Originally, the good mood that was really happy because of getting rid of the "Yuling Poison Master", an opponent who gave him a headache, was completely destroyed at this moment.
This newly emerged "Poison Master", Bai Peng's party did not know the identity and origin of him, and was even more ignorant of his means and magical powers. At such a critical moment, it is absolutely a taboo in military tactics to not be able to find out the opponent's true and false.
Unfortunately, tomorrow is the day when the battle assessment officially begins. The Zhu Mansion is now relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, and the security is strict. If Bai Peng wants to find out the news about this person, he can do nothing at this time, no matter how powerful he is.
...
In the middle of the night, in the inner courtyard of the Zhu Mansion, in the courtyard where the mysterious young man called "Poison Master" is.
The mysterious young man who has always been rumored to be mysterious is now sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, spewing essence and spiritual power at a gourd-shaped magic weapon in front of him, and his hands are constantly pinching the seal, as if he is refining the gourd-shaped magic weapon in front of him.
A thick layer of ashes has accumulated on the ground in front of him. These ashes are the remaining residues of the poisonous spiritual materials from which the essence of the toxins has been extracted.
At this moment, there is a strange poisonous grass emitting a bloody light, floating not far from the gourd magic weapon. There should have been five spherical grass seeds on this poisonous grass, but they have been picked off at this time.
The blood light that shot up into the sky was emitted from the five thin stems and leaves that produced grass seeds and fruits. If you look closely, you can find that the five blood lights emitted by the five thin stems and leaves are like five arc-shaped sharp blood-colored blades. After they pop out from the stems and leaves, they gather in the air and condense into a strong blood light that shoots up into the sky.
The thick blood poison evil spirit floats faintly in the blood-colored light. All the living plants and insects and animals in the whole yard are silently turned into dust in the blood poison evil spirit that is revealed by the blood light.
Such a strange and horrifying scene, if seen by outsiders, they will definitely be shocked and scream. Because, the floating blood poison evil spirit alone has poisoned all the living things in the whole yard into dust. If they are swept by the blood-colored arc-shaped blade-shaped blood poison evil spirit, wouldn’t it be even worse?
