Chapter 4 - Assassin At Work?
Zun Tai's voice started filling with contempt as he spoke.
Why not, if I can ask?
Li Yuanjun responded swiftly by saying, “There’s no benefit. The Lu Clan is only out for the Mountainous Wild Beast Forest.”.
Our businesses, unlike yours, don’t depend on the resources there.
At most, our younger generation would have to train in a different way.
Besides, we can always ask the Lu Clan for access when we pay them enough, Huang Ping added. Huang Ping never did anything if there wasn’t anything worthy in return.
Zun Tai looked at Huang Ping and Li Yuanjun.
What if I provide your respective clans with a proper reward for which you only have to distract the Lu Clan member during the assassination.
Li Yuanjun smirked, so what is the incentive?
I’ll provide both of you with a 5th-tier Clear Heart pill.
A pill that clears the heart of any demons below the Core Formation Realm.
Bought from an auction in a neighboring kingdom where they didn’t realize what they had.
Huang Ping and Li Yuanjun clasped their hands together and thanked Zun Tai.
After that they quickly left to start concocting a plan to distract the Lu Clan.
Once they left, Zun Tai angrily threw a table against the wall.
“Why are you so angry, father?”, Zun He spoke.
You can simply turn the people and the Lu Clan members against them by anonymously providing evidence of their crimes.
This way you can keep the pills and get rid of all your obstacles at once.
Sometimes you are a lot better at thinking than cultivating my son, Zun Tai said.
His gaze landed on his son as he took a seat.
Zun Tai remained sunken in thought for a while when he suddenly spoke, Zun He start the plan and don’t leave any evidence behind. He had to remain confident in his plan.

Although a gamble, it is a gamble worth making even if I lose.
In the meantime the Lu Clan members started arriving at the Mountainous Wild Beast Forest. They had already started to set up camp.
A sign was being erected and a huge iron fence around the entire Mountainous Wild Beast Forest was being built.
The sign stated, “Lu Clan exclusive property. Entry-tickets can be bought.”.
The prices followed: Body Refinement (25 Silver), Qi Gathering (100 Silver), Qi Refinement (200 Silver), Foundation Establishment (500 Silver), Core Formation (1500 Silver)
“Hey, that’s way too expensive for just entry”, an onlooker yelled.
Lu Ran stepped out and coughed to gain everyone's attention.
My clan now owns this area, we will maintain order and safety in the premises.
We will also offer fair bids or auction off your merchandise which you have collected in the Mountainous Wild Beast Forest.
No sales will be forced, no violence between the cultivators are on the grounds and ticket-prices will never be raised or lowered.
Once again people started clamoring loudly and someone asked, “when can we buy the tickets?”.
Mountainous Wild Beast Forest will naturally open in three days' time.
Tickets can only be bought at this location and tickets will only be paid in coins.
These will obviously only be provided by the Lu Clan and anyone trespassing will be executed without warning.
I hope all of you can accept these rules and all will be well, Lu Ran smiled.
Lu Ran was inwardly suspicious since none of the other clans had tried to stop him.
Especially the Zun Clan, they were the Lu Clan’s rival after all.
Suddenly a dark aura could be felt and a sickening pressure arrived.
The dark aura made an eerie sound. One could hear the screams of women and children.
The Purple Yin Killer stood amongst all the onlookers with a disgusted look on his face.
He yelled, “Well well, how long it has been. I would not have thought you to be capable of even breaking this barrier.”.
While Lu Ran was a little shocked his face didn’t show it.
He remained composed and walked forward until he was only 2 meters away from the Purple Yin Killer.
Well Purple Yin Killer, I didn’t expect you to survive our battle from so many years ago.
It surprised me that an unsightly creature like you still has the gall to show your face here.
The crowd quickly ran far away because they knew the notorious Purple Yin Killer.
He was a vicious criminal that uses the Vicious Purple Yin Technique.
He was defeated by Lu Ran many years ago.
