I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 247 - 231 Invincible in the Gang Condensation

Chapter 247: Chapter 231 Invincible in the Gang Condensation Realm!

Chapter 247 -231 Invincible in the Gang Condensation Realm!

Time flitted by, and several days passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Yuan was in closed-door cultivation every day, as if he had returned to his previous state. With the help of Primordial Crystals, his cultivation was not advancing at a breakneck pace, but it was undoubtedly accumulating swiftly.

As long as it wasn’t a bottleneck in his cultivation, the rest was simply about accumulation.

During these days, Tao Qingyuan had not been idle either. He had learned from Yue Shan that Tao Qingyuan had already ordered an investigation into the cause of Nie Qi Yun’s death.

Unfortunately, his efforts would ultimately be in vain.

The investigation by the Dragon Tiger Sect was still underway, and at the same time, the Seven Killings Hall had already dispatched personnel to prepare a response for Tang Qian.

Inside the main hall of the Azure Flood Dragon Association.

Tang Qian’s aura was serene as he stared at the black-robed man in front of him, his brows furrowing. The assassination mission from the Seven Killings Hall had actually failed, and Chen Yuan was still alive!

“Is the Seven Killings Hall not prepared to give Tang some explanation? That was three Primordial Crystals.”

Taking a deep breath, Tang Qian said with a solemn voice.

Although he knew some of the rules of the Seven Killings Hall, the loss of three Primordial Crystals was too great. Almost his entire savings had been spent in hopes of permanently dealing with Chen Yuan,

only to have such news returned to him.

The black-robed man gave Tang Qian a look, showing little sign of anger. Instead, he spoke indifferently,

“The price offered by Gang Leader Tang was only enough to move a Silver Token assassin from the Seven Killings Hall. It’s because Gang Leader Tang’s assassination target is too strong, able to counter the Heavenly Gang with the Reach Profound technique. For a genius like that, three Primordial Crystals are hardly enough.”

“What exactly do you mean by that?”

“The meaning is quite simple. I can understand Gang Leader Tang’s desire to recoup some losses, but I still advise Gang Leader Tang to let go of that thought. The Seven Killings Hall hasn’t even counted the loss of a Reach Profound expert towards Gang Leader Tang’s account.

If we really were to count that, do you think three Primordial Crystals would be able to exchange for a Reach Profound expert?”

The voice of the black-robed man was slightly hoarse.

“The assassin’s loss is counted towards me? Since when does the Seven Killings Hall have such a rule?” Tang Qian suppressed the rage in his heart.

“If Gang Leader Tang insists on recovering the loss, then naturally there is such a rule.” The black-robed man’s words seemed to mock Tang Qian for not recognizing the situation.

“Fine, Tang has accepted it.”

Tang Qian’s gaze dropped, and a terrifying aura exuded from his body as he forcibly suppressed his anger. In the face of the Seven Killings Hall, he was not much different from an ant.

If he were to recklessly turn against them, the Seven Killings Hall could easily erase the Azure Flood Dragon Association with a backhanded strike.

After all, it was one of the top forces in the world, bold enough to target even court officials, princes, and princesses.

“Gang Leader Tang shouldn’t sound so reluctant. You pay the price, and the Seven Killings Hall deploys the assassins. It’s only natural that not every target is guaranteed to die.”

The black-robed man paused briefly before continuing,

“But what’s one failed assassination attempt? Now that the Seven Killings Hall has already accurately assessed Chen Yuan’s strength, if Gang Leader Tang is willing to make another deal, all will be well.”

‘Make another deal…’ Tang Qian’s gaze flickered uncertainly as he murmured low,

“What is the Seven Killings Hall’s assessment of Chen Yuan’s level?”

“Unrivaled in the Gang Condensation Realm.”

The expression beneath the black-robed man’s garment turned solemn.

This was an extremely high evaluation. To be able to counter-kill a Silver Token assassin, regardless of any trickery involved, as long as there was no external help, it indicated the highest pinnacle of the Gang Condensation Realm had been reached.

Even considering the past twenty years, only a handful of individuals on the Hidden Dragon List have received such an assessment, and each of them was the most outstanding disciple of the current generation of leading martial sects.

That Chen Yuan could be so evaluated was definitely extraordinary.

Most importantly, he barely had any background to speak of, and his arrival at this point was all due to his own efforts. The assistance from the court was minimal, leading to the conclusion that Chen Yuan’s potential had not yet been fully tapped!

“Unrivaled…”

Tang Qian let out a breath, his heart filled with shock.

In any realm, to be declared unrivaled was absolutely awe-inspiring. Was provoking such an adversary truly worth it?

“If I were to issue the task again, what price would I have to pay?”

Tang Qian resolved himself and asked in a grave tone.

The black-robed man extended three fingers from within his embroidered robe.

“Three Primordial Crystals?”

“Thirty Primordial Crystals. As long as Gang Leader Tang can afford this price, the Seven Killings Hall will deploy a top Silver Token assassin. This time, no matter what tricks Chen Yuan has, his death is certain.”

‘A top Silver Token assassin…’

His heart sank at the thought. An assassin of this level was definitely at the Reach Profound Peak, capable of killing Chen Yuan with ease—let alone himself.

You get what you pay for; ten times more Primordial Crystals than before meant the assassin’s might would exponentially surge.

But the problem was, he couldn’t afford such a price.

The three Primordial Crystals he had spent before had already nearly drained his fortune.

“That’s too expensive.”

Tang Qian shook his head.

“Then there’s nothing that can be done.”

The black-robed man shook his head. The Seven Killings Hall’s reputation rested on seven guaranteed kills; no one could escape their hand. Accordingly, the price for each attempt would multiply manyfold.

The cost of the seventh assassination was beyond the reach of nearly everyone in the world.

It was impossible for the Seven Killings Hall to continuously deploy the same caliber of assassination for seven attempts; should the target withstand all seven, the esteemed reputation of the Seven Killings Hall would be destroyed.

With a sigh in his heart, Tang Qian had no other solution and waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

Even if he wanted to take action against Chen Yuan, he could no longer afford to hire someone from the Seven Killings Hall. Moreover, after hearing the evaluation of Chen Yuan by the Seven Killings Hall, Tang Qian had even started to have second thoughts.

It seemed that with his means, he probably wouldn’t be able to kill Chen Yuan.

Now, he only hated that he didn’t act recklessly and eliminate Chen Yuan before he had a chance to grow. Now, any further thought was too late.

“I shall take my leave. Should Gang Leader Tang wish to trade in the future, you may contact me with a Seven Killings Black Token.”

The man in the black robe didn’t dawdle. He extended his hand, placing down a black token, then turned and disappeared within the room, leaving only Tang Qian gazing somberly at his retreating figure.

…

…

That night.

Inside the secret chamber of the Chen Residence, Chen Yuan sat with his upper body bare, practicing his breathing while the fist-sized Primordial Crystal in his hand had shrunk to about a quarter of its original size.

Correspondingly, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy within three feet around Chen Yuan was several times denser than that of the outside world. The Supreme Mysterious Scripture circulated, continuously drawing in the free Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy through the acupoints all over his body.

On his left arm, the Blood Evil Saber, which emitted Extreme Yin Blood Evil, had already slowed down compared to before. After numerous times of Evil Qi entering his body and using the Blood Evil Saber to recover during practice,

the amount of Evil Qi stored inside had noticeably decreased.

At the same time, he had only one-fifth of the Primordial Energy left in the Divine Crystal he possessed…

All this power had been transformed into Chen Yuan’s cultivation.

“Shasha…”

Suddenly, a light noise came from outside the room. Chen Yuan’s eyes snapped open immediately, his brows furrowing, as he quickly put on his clothes, tucked away the Primordial Crystal quietly, and grabbed the Yan Ling Saber next to him.

It was almost midnight, the equivalent of twelve to one in the morning. At this time, everyone else in the Chen Residence was already asleep, and if there was an urgent matter,

there definitely wouldn’t be such a minor disturbance.

In almost an instant, he analyzed all this, his gaze piercingly fixed on the window outside.

“Thud thud…”

Just as Chen Yuan focused his attention, an abrupt knocking sound indeed came from outside.

“Who is there?”

Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.

“Wouldn’t you invite me in first?”

A somewhat strange and hoarse voice came from outside, stirring somethings in Chen Yuan’s heart. His gaze flickered, and he leaned slightly forward on his left arm, ensuring that the Blood Evil Saber was ready to burst forth at any moment, before he said:

“If you have come, then please, come in.”

As his words fell, the room’s door was instantly blown open, a gust of cold wind blew into the secret chamber, and before Chen Yuan stood a man draped in a black robe.

His hair stood on end in an instant because the person’s attire was almost identical to that of the Seven Killings Hall assassin he had encountered before.

This was a person from the Seven Killings Hall!

Seemingly perceiving Chen Yuan’s astonishment and suspicion, the man in the black robe spoke unflappably:

“My name is Feng Jiu, from the Seven Killings Hall.”

As expected!

Chen Yuan, gathering his concentration and composure, looked at this man who claimed to be Feng Jiu and said:

“Has the Seven Killings Hall come to assassinate me for a second time?”

“The client cannot afford the price for a second assassination. I am not here for that purpose this time.”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief but did not lower his guard much, for the presence of the man before him was exceedingly elusive,

and Chen Yuan faintly felt a sense of oppression coming from him, definitely that of a Reach Profound Martial Artist, and even possibly a stronger presence than Tao Qingyuan.

Facing such a person, his chances of winning were extremely low.

Chen Yuan: “Then for what purpose have you come here?”

Feng Jiu stood with his arms crossed, his gaze from beneath the black robe settling on Chen Yuan, causing the latter to feel as if a wild beast had its eyes on him. If previously it felt like a gentle breeze, now it seemed as if a hungry wolf had him in its sights.

“I have come here to invite Patrol Envoy Chen to join the Seven Killings Hall.”

As soon as it was judged that Chen Yuan’s strength could be considered unbeatable at the Gang Condensation Realm, the Seven Killings Hall had already begun to consider bringing him into their fold; a genius like him, once grown, would no doubt become a powerhouse for the Seven Killings Hall.

Every top sect in the world hopes that its disciples have high talents, as this provides hope of reaching higher realms. On the Martial Arts path, not only are one’s Dao Heart and enlightenment important, but talent is equally critical.

The emergence of a Core Realm powerhouse is far more significant than that of ten-plus Reach Profound Martial Artists.

Typically, the core disciples of top-tier forces are reared with loyalty from a young age to prevent future betrayal, but the Seven Killings Hall is somewhat different. Their cultivation of disciples, due to the excessively brutal trials, ends up producing killing machines lacking humanity. Thus, the loyalty to the organization isn’t very high, maintained by a mixture of intimidation and mutual benefit, including many who were invited to join the Seven Killings Hall later in their journey.

Inviting Chen Yuan to join is therefore not surprising, after all, his talent is indeed extremely strong, not falling short of the top geniuses in the world.

So when Tang Qian refused a second assassination, Feng Jiu went straight to Chen Yuan.
