Chapter Fifty-One: The Mysterious Lu Jin

  Updated at 6 o'clock on time ~ Last night spent nearly three hours modifying some details in front, less code a chapter, egg pain.

  By the way, I'd like to complain a bit. Everyone reads my book but doesn't give me any rewards. I get it, not everyone has spare money, but can't you at least give me some recommendations and collections? Alright, I won't ask for recommendations if your level isn't high enough, you need to support the big shots, that's normal too. But can't you just give me a collection? It's just a casual click to add it to your bookshelf, even if your bookshelf is full, that's possible too. However, since I work so hard every day to update my book, can't you at least leave a comment?! Don't worry about the content, just a casual post would be fine! Let me know that at least someone is reading this! This should be reasonable, right?! Friends! By the way, feel free to join my book club group and liven up the atmosphere...

  "Unexpectedly, little brother is actually a student of Ding Sheng Soul School. Who knows, maybe we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future."

  At the turn of the corner, about 100 meters away from Ding Sheng's school, Lu Jin and Zong Yin stopped. Seeing Zong Yin walk to this point, Lu Jin naturally understood Zong Yin's identity, and his tone was somewhat nostalgic as he said.

  "Hehe, if I'm still alive by then, my name is Zong Yin. Thanks for your generosity today."

  Zong Yin also understood what Lu Jin meant, smiled and didn't dwell on this topic anymore. He waved his hand at him and was about to enter the Soul School.

  "Zong Yin, I remember, looking forward to our next meeting."

  Lu Jin didn't stop him either, and softly recited Zong Yin's name, saying it towards Zong Yin's back.

  Suddenly, Zong Yin jumped back violently, his right arm released directly, blocking his face door, and countless steel nails shot towards him were blocked on the stone arm, penetrating more than half a foot.

  "Haha, none of you can leave today!"

  “Bang!” With a loud noise, the ground where Zong Yin was standing originally burst open, revealing a manhole that led directly to the sewer. A huge rat darted out, its sharp claws glinting in the light, followed by over a dozen people who emerged one after another. The leader of the group had two intersecting scars on his face and sneered at Zong Yin and Lu Jin's party of six.

  "Boss, the fat sheep I'm talking about are them! Every move they make is worth hundreds of blue crystals! Not even a single gold coin! After this job, all brothers can turn over a new leaf! For the rest of their lives, they won't have to worry about food and clothing!"

  The last one to emerge from the hole was indeed Pian San, who had been punched flying by Zong Yin earlier. Pian San's face was full of flattery as he pointed at Lu Jin and said with a flourish.

  After San's words were finished, the group of people who came out before him all showed a look of longing, holding weapons in their hands to block Zong Yin's path, slowly surrounding him.

  "Soul Master! Soul Beast Moles! Lu Jin, you go first, I'll hold them off, just wait for me to rush into the Ding Sheng Soul School and we'll be safe!"

  Zong Yinyan's face turned solemn as he stared at these sudden arrivals, each of whom, except for Pi San, had powers surpassing those of a Soul Master. What made him feel even more pressure was that on their bodies, Zong Yinyan sensed an intense killing aura. These people were obviously seasoned villains who had spent years dancing on the edge of life and death, and would absolutely not show mercy like the Soul Masters in the Soul Academy.

  He took a step forward, blocking Lu Jin's path. He had a good impression of Lu Jin and didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for them because he had beaten Pi San.

  "Zong Yin brothers, just small roles, why bother you to take action? Ice and frost, make them all disappear."

  Just as Zong Yin hadn't made a move, Lu Jin's slender hand gently patted his shoulder and said in an extremely relaxed tone.

  Zong Yin was still in a daze when two strong gusts of wind swept past him from left and right. The group of people who had just been ferocious were now transformed from hungry wolves to sheep. With Zong Yin's eyes not having opened the Qi Stone, he could only see two blurry figures darting among the dozen or so people.

  There were no mournful cries, and the three of them still had the same ferocious and joyful expressions as before, but their bodies had already been torn into countless pieces. A thin layer of frost sealed their wounds, with not a single drop of blood flowing out. Even that one Soul Beast, the Earth Mouse, was beheaded with an expression of shock in its eyes.

  Zong couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and he shuddered. It wasn't just because the space around him had turned cold, but also because of Lu Jin's smiling face standing behind him.

  Zong Yin's gaze at Lu Jin had changed again, the two men named Bing and Shuang in his mouth were dressed simply, he had always thought that these two were just two house slaves, before Zong Yin didn't even feel a hint of soul power fluctuation, even after they killed people, they still seemed like two servants, carrying the frozen mouse's head, silently walking back to Lu Jin's side.

  "Zong Yin brothers, don't look at me with that kind of gaze. After all, I am also a marquis, aren't I? It's normal to have several powerful guards by my side, right? We will meet again in the future, Zong Yin brothers."

  Lu Jin smiled at Zong Yin and said kindly, then stopped talking. He waved his hand at Zong Yin and headed towards the most prosperous part of the capital.

  Lu Jin, who had previously only given Zong Yin the image of a rich and violent man, immediately became mysterious in his eyes. Looking at the frozen corpse fragments on the ground, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just now, he was thinking of showing off his heroism, but it seemed that his strength wasn't even worth looking at by the other party.

  He exchanged a greeting with the gatekeeper, and under the gatekeeper's strange gaze, Zong Yin entered the Soul School. The rules for people coming out on vacation were very strict, but the Soul School did not object to someone returning early.

  Lu Jin, who had walked far away, hummed a tune and took out a small booklet from his bosom. The booklet was full of portraits of various people, but most of them were crossed out with a red "X". He flipped through the booklet casually and stopped at the portrait of a burly man with two intersecting scars on his face. With a casual gesture, he also marked this one with an "X" before putting the booklet back into his bosom.

  If Zong Yin saw this person's portrait, he would definitely be shocked. Isn't this the same person that San Jian just called "Old Big" a moment ago?

  "Xiao Liu, this time we didn't manage to get into their nest and clean them out, the loss is not small. Remember to hand over the head of the groundhog, it can be exchanged for a lot of money."

  Lu Jin took the frozen mouse head from Bing's hand and threw it to Xiao Liu, who was in charge of his money bag. With a painful expression on his face, he ordered: "It seems that not being able to take possession of those dead people's property has left him very disappointed."

  "Master, you've also eliminated the most cunning hiding troops in Gutaicheng. Shouldn't we change places now?"

  The only woman among the six people standing behind Lu Jin rubbed her face with a special mask, yawning and asked in a listless tone.

  "What did you think of that young man named Zong Yin just now?"

  Lu Jin's eyes narrowed into a line, without answering her question, but instead asked her one back.

  "People are very honest, have a strong sense of justice, and are brave enough, but their strength is too low, they can eat too much, and their brains are not too bright either. If he hadn't intervened earlier, we would have probably cleaned out that group of old mice's nest."

  The woman rolled her eyes and thought that Zong Yin had almost eaten his way back, giving him a truthful evaluation. The previous few sentences were nothing, but she didn't know what Zong Yin would think if he heard the other person say that he wasn't very bright.

  "Heh heh, that's enough. No rush, since the old man from Xuanling Country gave us the title of Mie Ling Hou, let's get rid of some more troublemakers before we leave. Are there any other valuable targets in Gutai City?"

  Lu Jin's mouth curled up with a strange arc. What was most important at this age? Not talent, not strength, but character! And Zhong Hui was still young, with plenty of time to spare. Lu Jin casually flipped out the Marquis badge given to him by the ruler of Xuanling Country and asked another silent old man...

  "I heard that the remnants of the Tianyun Sect have recently re-emerged in Gutaicheng."

  The old man opened his eyes, which could close at any moment, and said a sentence in a tone that was neither salty nor bland. He then continued to put on the appearance of being half dead.

  "Hmm? Sounds interesting! So our next target is the Tianxiahui, huh? I wonder if we were to annihilate the Tianxiahui, would all countries treat us as honored guests? Hehe."

  Upon hearing the name of Tian Tian Jiao, Lu Jin's eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light, accompanied by a sly smile, and said with great interest.

  The six people behind Lu Jin looked at each other, no one spoke, those who knew Lu Jin well understood that in his heart he had already made up his mind to make the remnants of the Tianxia Sect his next target, it seemed like the Tianxia Sect was going to be unlucky...

  Zong Yin, who had entered the Soul Academy, didn't linger for a moment and hastily returned to his dormitory, looking like a thief on the run. The reason was simple: the stone box he had bought from that appraiser for one blue crystal coin was a treasure.

  He carefully locked the door of his dormitory and confirmed that there was no one around before cautiously taking out the stone box.

  The stone box is entirely dark green, with countless ancient bird and animal carvings densely packed, the material should also be a low-grade jade, in terms of materials, it's not the best, but its age is long enough, at least over a thousand years, however, these are not the reasons why Zong Yin values this stone box so much.

  Zong Yǐn grasped the stone box with one hand, and his soul blade flew out, shaving off the lid of the stone box. The soul blade continued to strike, and in an instant, the lid of the stone box revealed its true appearance, which was a square seal script! The bird and beast patterns on the lid of the stone box were actually based on the soul technique patterns on the seal script, and were engraved onto it.

  Panting heavily, he focused his mind and slowly scanned the soul technique pattern on this emerald green Sealing Technique Manual. This was the third Sealing Technique Manual that Zong Yin had seen in his lifetime! Even if it was a Green Star's auxiliary soul technique, he didn't want to give it up, carefully identifying its function.

  Zong Yin let out a disappointed sigh, the seal on this ancient technique wasn't particularly old, probably around 1,500 years ago. The soul technique it contained wasn't anything rare either, just an ordinary green star assist soul technique that many people could still use in this era. Its effect was simple, temporarily increasing one's movement speed and attack speed.

  For Zonghui who already has a return to ancestors, this is undoubtedly a chicken rib, which is tasteless when eaten and a pity when discarded.

  Some disappointment shook his head, since it was already certain that this seal technique would not be of much help to him, Zong Yin immediately prepared to maximize its effect, and the first person he thought of was Lan Xin, a little loli who had a crazy obsession with the seal technique.

  "Stinky brat! If you don't return the Blue Star Soul Technique to me, principal and interest included! I'll destroy this Sealing Technique Scroll right in front of you! It's not like it's a big deal, just one Blue Crystal Coin! I still have ninety-nine more!"

  Lan Xin last time rolled up his Red Star Assisting Soul technique, sealed the road and ran away, until now there is no news, making Zong Yin's heart feel uncomfortable. In his opinion, this guy is privately escaping with the classic, planning to default! This time he made another sealed classic, it must be played well! Thinking of this, Zong Yin's heart felt relieved, and sealing the classic to damage Lan Xin was undoubtedly the best way to torture Lan Xin.
