Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1080 The Temptation of a Great Treasure

Furthermore, Lin Feng has already been killed by Shu Qin, the Discipline Elder of Kunyu Mountain, which Shu Qin himself said.

Upon hearing the news from inside the door, they had no doubt that it was true.

As a high-ranking member of the Kunyu Mountain sect, which is one of the top-ranking secluded sects, he certainly couldn't just spout nonsense.

Therefore, Kairo Keizo never even considered Lin Feng.

This time, he was transferred out by the sect again to participate in the operation to hunt down Mu Chuan.

Song Chen brought Kuroda Shige and Kairo Keizo, along with Xu Qi.

The four men rode their warhorses and galloped towards the city of Losi.

Song Chen roughly knew that after Mu Chuan and Duan Jingqiu left his group, they would most likely go to Luoxi Prefecture.

Because Duan Jingqiu had said that Luoxi Prefecture was her base of operations, and that she could help her join the Dazheng Imperial Guard there.

Although they didn't quite believe it, they couldn't doubt Duan San Niang's abilities; after all, her reputation was well-deserved and not just empty boasts.

Kuroda was very excited. He had found the right lead. He had been keeping an eye on Ye Haishan and his apprentice, but there had been nothing unusual.

He witnessed his master, Tsuruta Gen, beating Lin Feng.

As a disciple, he has a deeper understanding of who Gen Tsuruta is than others.

Such a godlike figure, with a flurry of punches and kicks, actually failed to kill Lin Feng.

Kuroda was greatly surprised.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't even be able to withstand one kick from my master.

This guy definitely has something valuable on him.

This was Kuroda's first thought.

Judging from Mu Chuan's skills, although I've never seen them before, I can sense that he's at a very low level, much worse than myself.

This time we found the right direction, so we deserve to have this treasure.

Tsuruta Cho is probably in grave danger. If he were to obtain the treasure, his master would most likely not compete with a junior for it.

Besides, with Tsuruta Cho gone, his master was now his only family.

There's no reason not to give Kuroda Shi our full support.

Kuroda Shige became increasingly pleased with himself, riding his horse with light hooves and in a cheerful mood.

Following behind him was Kairo Keizo, who was just for show. Although he was also a second-generation disciple of the Munenryu school, he was at the bottom. If a great treasure were to appear, his life would probably come to an end.

To maintain secrecy, Kuroda Shigeo harbored murderous intentions towards Kairo Keizo.

Four men and four horses, each with their own thoughts, set off towards Losi amidst billowing dust.

Duan Jingqiu arranged for Lin Feng to stay in the office next to his own. It was a quiet place with good security, and no unauthorized people would get close.

The main reason is that she works more hours than she rests, and often she even rests here when she's tired.

Instead, the bedroom has become basically just for show.

For security reasons, they made Lin Feng their personal bodyguard.

Lin Feng finally had some free time to focus on reviewing his gains over the past few days.

It mainly concerns the body's internal condition.

He was almost killed by Tsuruta Gen, and then the broken sword absorbed Tsuruta Cho's life force. After purification, it restored him and even made him stronger.

These days, although the broken sword has been quiet, its influence on his consciousness has been growing stronger. If he doesn't strengthen himself soon, he might be suppressed by the broken sword.

At that point, he would become a walking corpse of the broken sword, losing his own consciousness.

If that's the case, I'd rather die.

At this moment, Lin Feng's body was full of true energy, his meridians had widened again, and the circulation speed had increased significantly.

However, true qi is too complex and requires a lot of time to sift through and refine it.

This is a long and painstaking process; it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Lin Feng's biggest shortage of time was precisely that; he had many things to do and wasn't very interested in the goals of a cultivator.

The goal of achieving immortality and attaining the Dao is too abstract; in Lin Feng's understanding, it simply does not exist.

Lin Feng personally experienced the wonders of internal energy and admitted that this was a level he had not reached in his previous life, and that he could make good use of it; everything else was pure nonsense.

Lin Feng's understanding of the realms of consciousness and matter is also vague.

Whether quantum entanglement is a matter of science or consciousness remains to be explored, but the broken sword gave him a very bad impression.

Because he couldn't explain it, nor could he seek help from others.

His consciousness had entered the world within the broken sword before, and he almost got lost in it, so he dared not provoke it lightly.

That's the current situation. Once Lin Feng calms down, he seizes the time to study various issues.

However, he also knew that this quiet wouldn't last long.

There will always be clever people who will come knocking on your door soon.

The fastest to arrive wasn't a clever person, but Duan Yi, the head of the Duan family's secret guards.

In order to give Master Duan an explanation as soon as possible, Duan Yi rode from Luocheng to the backyard of the Duan Family Bank in Luoxi Prefecture.

Although he was a member of the Duan family, no one in the Duan family, except for the Second Master Duan, knew him.

Therefore, instead of going through the main gate, Duan Yi climbed over the courtyard wall into the courtyard, then avoided the servants and went straight to the back of Duan Jingqiu's house.

Duan Yi was very familiar with the main structure of the Duan family's residence. He would walk through any house of a certain standard several times beforehand, just in case the Duan family's owners were safe.

Duan Yi's actions were almost entirely silent. He stood under the back window, listening intently to the sounds coming from inside the room.

Someone was talking to Duan Jingqiu about the shop's business, and Duan Jingqiu, apart from breathing steadily, did not make a sound, as if he was listening attentively to the other person's report.

Duan Yi was able to accurately identify Duan Jingqiu from the other person's breathing rate.

Then, he extended his senses to his surroundings, observing the activity around him, and pondering how to make Duan Jingqiu disappear in a plausible way.

It was broad daylight, and Duan Yi was standing in a small alley. Normally, the Duan family guards would patrol here regularly, but this was during their patrol break.

Around the house centered around Duan Jingqiu, there were the breathing sounds of seven or eight maids and servants, as well as the panting of an old man, who must have been the steward of the Duan family in Luoxi Prefecture.

After double-checking, there were no abnormalities.

In Duan Yi's heart, apart from Second Master Duan, there was no one else in the Duan family worth protecting. As for Second Master Duan's beloved daughter, he regarded her no differently from everyone else.

Therefore, when the time comes to act, there will be no hesitation whatsoever.

However, Master Duan demanded that his daughter disappear legitimately, vanishing naturally.

This request is difficult to fulfill. Even if Duan Jingqiu were alone in the house and suddenly disappeared, it would cause chaos in the Duan family.

It certainly doesn't qualify as a legitimate disappearance.

Just as Duan Yi was pondering this, he heard footsteps in the distance, knowing that the patrol guards were coming.

With a slight push of his feet, he flipped and leaped onto the roof, his body silently pressed against the tiles, making him invisible to those in the alley.

The patrolling guards walked past, and the surroundings became quiet again.

The person who had been talking to Duan Jingqiu inside the house also left, leaving Duan Jingqiu alone in the house.

She prefers to stay indoors and quietly consider things, which is the most efficient way for her to get things done.

Therefore, there were no servants inside the house. All the maids, servants, and even the steward stood in the outer room or courtyard waiting for the master's summons.

After thinking for a moment, Duan Yi decided to let Duan Jingqiu die unexpectedly.
