Chapter 8 Assassination, certain death!
In the training room.

Chen Zheng nodded: "Then we will go out to sea tomorrow."

It is said that there is a black gold vein buried under Jinyu Island, which is very suitable for growing gold-attributed spiritual herbs.

The ancestor of the Chen family valued this point, so he led his clansmen to seize the Jinyu Island that originally belonged to the Jin family, laying a foundation for future generations.

Golden Feather Grass is one of the main ingredients in refining Vajra Pill and matures in half a year.

Since they were unable to make elixirs, the Chen family could only sell the Golden Feather Grass to the Half Moon Market, 100,000 miles away, and exchange it with Jubao Tower for the needed supplies or money.

As for the Half Moon Market, it is a small maritime market, manned by cultivators from the secret realm of magical powers. It is very safe, and tens of thousands of large and small forces within the hundreds of thousands of miles of sea area buy and sell there.

Chen Zheng had previously promised Chen Fu that he would help him escort the merchant ship to Banyuefang Market, so he would naturally not go back on his word.

Moreover, according to what Liu Fu said when he went to the family storehouse to take the evil shark blood under Chen Fu's order, there was not much evil blood left in the family storehouse.

Chen Zheng expected that the demon blood in the storehouse was not enough to support his current practice.

It would be a good opportunity to go to the Half Moon Market and see if I can buy a batch of high-quality animal blood, or hunt down some powerful monsters at sea.

"By the way, what's the situation outside during the time I've been in seclusion?" Chen Zheng asked Liu Fu.

Liu Fu said admiringly: "The young master and I acted according to the instructions given by the young master before he went into seclusion. As you expected, the second young master had reservations and stopped his actions."

He pondered for a moment and said hesitantly, "It's just... I'm afraid the Second Young Master can't swallow this."

Chen Mo went to capture Chen Zheng but failed. Liu Fu still remembers the extremely cold look in his eyes when he left.

This person is extremely narrow-minded. He is the kind of ruthless person who will kill the entire family of anyone who makes me suffer.

"If necessary, I will crush him to death." A hint of cruelty flashed in Chen Zheng's eyes.

Armed with a sharp blade, the murderous intention arises.

Including Chen Lie, if anyone dares to cause trouble, he will crush the other party to death.

"..."

Liu Fu felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to respond and buried his head even lower.

If Chen Zheng had said the same thing two days ago, he would have definitely laughed it off.

but now……

"Uncle Liu, we are family."

Chen Zheng walked towards the outside of the training room and gently patted Liu Fu's shoulder as he passed by him.

Liu Fu raised his head and saw Chen Zheng's still gentle eyes, and he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Chen Zheng left.

Liu Fu came to the wall, stretched out his hand tremblingly, touched the cracked iron wall with his fingers, and murmured:

"The heartbeat is like thunder, cracking metal and iron. Is this really the seventh level of the physical body? Perhaps the young master can really rely on him to change his fate, and the second young master..."

The next day, it was just dawn.

A large ship loaded with golden feather grass set sail, sailed out of the Golden Feather Island Pier, and sailed through the vast ocean.

"Brother Zheng, this boat is a treasure made by the immortal master. It can travel 30,000 miles a day without human power."

In the cabin at the top of the ship, Chen Fu was introducing to Chen Zheng the origin of the ship under his feet with saliva flying.

"This boat is indeed a fairy treasure, called a magic weapon. It contains the fairy power left by the supernatural fairy master. The owner of the family rented it from Jubao Tower."

"Third Master, once you are familiar with the routes to and from Banyue Market and the details of the transactions between the family and Jubao Tower, I will hand over the control of this ship to you."

The person who spoke was dressed in black and had a full beard. He was a middle-aged man in his forties.

This man's name is Chen Biao. He is the general manager of the merchant ship and also Chen Xingye's confidant.

Chen Fu had just arrived and was unfamiliar with many maritime affairs and the situation at Jubao Tower, so he naturally let the veteran Chen Biao take the helm.

"Uncle Biao, I will familiarize myself with these things as soon as possible." Chen Fu nodded vigorously.

He also knew about magic weapons, and said with a longing look on his face: "It would be great if I had a magic weapon armor like my father. Wearing it would give me infinite power, and even a warrior with a tenth-level physical body would find it difficult to break through."

"Third Young Master, you are talking about the golden armor of the Patriarch, right? That is the treasure of our Chen family. The Patriarch rarely wears it and only uses it in times of crisis."

"Yes."

"Third Young Master, Brother Chen Zheng, let me tell you something. I once saw a top treasure at the auction at Jubaolou, a spiritual weapon flying sword!"

"Spiritual weapon flying sword?"

"Spirit weapons are immortal treasures that are more terrifying than magic weapons. As long as warriors like me in the physical realm are connected to the flying sword, we can use it as if it were our own arms and kill the enemy dozens of miles away. Even a single strike can flatten a mountaintop..."

"hiss……"

Chen Biao talked incessantly.

Chen Fu was so shocked that he gasped repeatedly.

Chen Zheng didn't say anything, his thoughts drifting away.

He knew more about magic weapons than Chen Biao.

Magical weapons are divided into magic weapons, spiritual weapons, treasure weapons, and Taoist weapons, and the power of each level varies greatly.

For example, magic weapons are from cultivators in the secret realm of magical powers. They infuse their own magic power into the objects, carve inscriptions on them to bless them, and thus double their lethality or give them some unique abilities.

Spiritual tools require a cultivator at the fifth level of the Heavenly Man Realm to connect the tools with heaven and man, and to construct various large formations inside the tools to give the tools extraordinary spirituality.

Precious weapons are more difficult to refine, and their power is much greater than that of spiritual weapons. They can split into thousands, cut off rivers, and destroy cities.

The final Taoist weapon is even more powerful.

The magic weapon must have a spirit and the spirit must have attained the Tao, only then can it be called a Taoist weapon.

Its power far exceeds that of a treasure, and it can change time and space, turn the world upside down, create the world, and mediate the destiny...

The interior of the Taoist instrument is a cave of its own, vast and boundless, able to accommodate countless living beings to reproduce and survive in it, no different from the outside world.

As for those above the Taoist weapons, they are the immortal weapons.

Immortal weapons are legends, and there are only two in the entire Xuanhuang World. One of them is in the Taiyi Sect, the largest sect in the immortal way, and it is feared by all the three thousand worlds.

"Third Young Master..."

Chen Biao seemed to be showing off in front of Chen Fu and Chen Zheng, and he never stopped talking.

He even boasted about how he had slept with three women at Chunxiangyuan at night. Chen Fu was stunned and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Chen Zheng ignored the two of them and walked to the window, facing the sea.

The sea breeze caresses my face and my hair flies.

He closed his eyes slightly, his mind immersed in the parchment scroll in his mind, and continued to study the sixth type of soul capture in Hades' true body.

This is the method for warriors to cultivate their spirit.

When a warrior cultivates his physical body to the fifth level of divine power, it marks a watershed.

The transition from the eighth level of bravery to the ninth level of psychic communication is an even bigger watershed.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to cross the border and fight.

It is because the ninth-level warriors have practiced spiritual skills and developed the potential of their brains, making their mental power extremely sharp. They can easily see through the vital states of those at lower levels, and can also look inward, with their internal organs clearly visible.

Especially when performing martial arts, one will naturally bring along spiritual power, which will affect the enemy's judgment.

It can even create all kinds of illusions for the opponent.

Imagine that a warrior who has cultivated his spiritual power is fighting a life-and-death battle with you. With every move he makes, his spiritual power will interfere with your mind. What will be the consequences?
it goes without saying.

Even if you are stronger, you will lose more than you win.

This is Chen Zheng’s current situation.

His strength was already comparable to that of a ninth-level warrior, but he lacked the means to prevent others from interfering with his mind.

But this problem has been solved.

Because the Soul-Seizing Skill not only includes a method of mental attack, but also can make the enemy's mind feel like falling into the Avici Hell and suffer endless pain. It also has a method of resisting other people's mental attacks. "The Hades protects, the Hell suppresses evil, the gods guard the Hell, there is no fear of disturbance, the Hell fire burns the will, and all thoughts are extinguished..."

Chen Zheng silently recited the scriptures on the parchment scroll, comprehending them carefully, and immediately he had a mysterious feeling, as if an invisible fire was ignited in his heart.

As the number of times I silently recited the scriptures increased, the invisible fire burned more vigorously, my mind became clearer, and I felt vaguely as if I was immune to all evil.

In this mysterious state, he gained a much deeper understanding of the other six moves.

All the previous puzzles suddenly became clear.

In addition, he has an extra layer of "courage" deep in his heart.

This made him happy.

After cultivating to the seventh level of the physical body, the subsequent levels are not as easy to break through as the previous ones.

For example, there are many members of the Chen family who remain at the seventh level of the physical body throughout their entire lives and cannot make any progress.

This is because the later stages not only require more resources, but also require a flash of inspiration and enlightenment.

For example, the "courage" in the eighth level of divine bravery, the "spirituality" in the ninth level of spiritual communication, and the "change" in the tenth level of magical changes are all things that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

But now, as Chen Zheng comprehended the spiritual means of the Soul Capture move, he directly realized the mystery of the word "courage".

In other words, as long as he gets enough resources, the realm of supernatural bravery is not an obstacle at all.

"Brother Chen Zheng, the food and drinks are all here."

Chen Biao raised his glass to invite him, with a heroic look on his face, interrupting Chen Zheng's thoughts.

It turned out that during the time he spent comprehending the spiritual law, two hours had passed unknowingly and it was time for lunch.

Chen Biao ordered his men to prepare a table of food and wine, and called the five ship managers to eat and drink together.

Seven people have gathered around the table, except for Chen Zheng.

"Brother Chen Zheng, I toast you a glass!"

"Brother Chen Zheng is still very young, but his cultivation is almost catching up with us. Your future is limitless. I'd like to toast you, too."

"And I……"

Several managers raised their glasses to Chen Zheng, looking very enthusiastic.

They all heard about how Chen Zheng easily defeated Chen Fuyi and his son, and they admired Chen Zheng very much.

As for the grudge between Chen Zheng and Chen Mo, or even the fight among Chen Xingye's three sons for the position of patriarch, that was none of their business.

They don't take sides and only listen to Chen Xingye.

No matter who becomes the next head of the family in the future, the family merchant ships will still need people with rich maritime experience to manage them.

"My uncles, you are too polite."

Chen Zheng smiled, walked to the table, and was about to take the wine glass that Chen Fu had poured for him, but suddenly he frowned and stopped.

After cultivating the true body of Hades, his five senses far surpassed those of ordinary warriors. He smelled something else in the wine.

Chen Fu was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"

"This wine is poisonous."

Chen Zheng's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked around at everyone, finally settling on Chen Biao.

The lively atmosphere in the field suddenly stagnated. Everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at Chen Biao following Chen Zheng's gaze.

What Chen Zheng meant was that he suspected Chen Biao, who arranged the banquet, had poisoned his wine?
But the wine in their hands was poured from the same pot. Since Chen Zheng's cup was poisoned, the wine in their hands should also be poisonous.

Everyone was an eighth-level warrior in the physical realm, and they could tell there was no poison in the wine with just a sniff.

Moreover, they have been working with Chen Biao on the ship for the family for many years and know him well. They know he is a good person and would never do such a despicable thing.

What's more, Chen Biao and Chen Zheng had no grudges in the past or recently, so it is impossible for him to harm Chen Zheng.

So how could this wine be poisonous?

"poisonous?"

Chen Biao's face darkened. He was not angry because Chen Zheng suspected him of poisoning, but because he didn't believe it.

He walked quickly to Chen Fu's side, took the wine glass from his stiff hand, and brought it to his nose to smell it carefully.

After a long time, he put down his wine glass, turned around and winked at a yellow-faced man among the group.

He didn't smell any poison in the wine, but seeing that Chen Zheng didn't look like he was joking, he became suspicious.

The world is so big, and there are still many poisons that people cannot smell.

The yellow-faced man understood what he meant and quickly walked out of the hall. Soon, he came back leading a sheep.

This sheep is one of the meats for the crew.

Gudong, Gudong.

At Chen Biao's signal, the yellow-faced man pried open the sheep's mouth and poured the wine in the jug into it.

Everyone held their breath.

Whether it is poisonous or not depends on the sheep.

What...

In less than two breaths, the sheep let out a low moan, its limbs went limp, and its body swayed and fell to the ground.

The sheep was not dead and was still breathing steadily. It seemed that it was just unconscious.

"It's really poisonous, a rare colorless and odorless poison that can make people dizzy!"

"Who on earth poisoned the wine and tried to knock us all out?"

Everyone's faces suddenly changed and they threw cups and shouted angrily.

Chen Biao also looked unhappy, and said coldly: "Go and bring Chen Mazi up to me!"

Chen Mazi was the ship's chef, responsible for three meals a day for the twenty or so crew members, and he was the most likely person to have poisoned the crew.

"Yes!"

The yellow-faced man hurriedly left the hall, and after a while, he brought an old man with pockmarks all over his face and threw him in front of Chen Biao.

"Chen Mazi, I have treated you well, why do you want to poison us?" Chen Biao asked harshly.

"Mr. Biao, please check clearly. I really didn't poison anyone." Chen Mazi trembled in fear and cried out that he was innocent.

"How dare you quibble."

Chen Biao stretched out his big hand to grab Chen Mazi, wanting to torture him to see if the other party would surrender.

But no one expected that Chen Mazi rolled swiftly on the ground and avoided Chen Biao's grasp.

It just happened to roll in front of Chen Zheng.

Swish!
Chen Mazi's expression suddenly changed and became extremely gloomy.

At the same time, he swung his arm, and a dagger suddenly flew out from his sleeve. With a flash of cold light, it pierced Chen Zheng's forehead as fast as a meteor.

"What……"

This sudden change surprised everyone present and caught them off guard.

Chen Mazi actually wanted to assassinate Chen Zheng!

And the timing was just right, just like an assassin stabbing the king in the golden palace, killing him suddenly and instantly.

too close!
In this situation, no one on the field could react or dodge.

Even Chen Biao, who had the highest level of cultivation, only had time to shout "be careful" and was unable to provide any rescue.

It can be predicted that Chen Zheng will soon be pierced through the forehead by the dagger, blood will splatter five steps away, and he will become a corpse.
