"You all go first and tell me the address, I'll be there soon," Chen Jie said to Li Ziling and the others.
"Hey, you..." Li Ziling called out.
Wei Xiang quickly said, "Li Ziling, let's go first, don't mind him!"
Just then, the taxi stopped, and they got in.
In the car, a middle-aged man pointed to the bus Li Ziling had boarded and said, "Is that our target, Li Ziling?"
"Yes, boss. I've been watching her for days. She's always had someone secretly protecting her. I strongly suspect she's the one we're looking for!"
A young man with a mustache on his lips said excitedly, "Boss, this chick is quite good-looking. If we catch her, we can have some fun first."
Slap!
The middle-aged man slapped him on the head and roared, "We have other uses for her, so don't get any other ideas! Let's go, follow them!"
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, the young man took the lead in driving and followed the taxi.
Before long, they followed them to the entrance of Pinghe Grand Hotel.
"Boss, they're going to eat. Should we go too and take the target while we have the chance?" the young man asked.
"Calm down. A great hunter often has patience others lack! They're going to the hotel to eat, and they'll likely drink a lot. That will be the best time for us to act," the middle-aged man said.
"Oh? Who is your prey?" At this moment, a stranger's voice sounded in their ears.
The three in the car were stunned.
Then they looked back at the corner of the back seat in disbelief: "Damn, who the hell are you? When did you get in our car?" the middle-aged man said.
Sitting in the rear right seat was Chen Jie.
"I'm secretly protecting Li Ziling and I saw you suspiciously following us, so I came to ask," Chen Jie said. "I'm asking you, are you going to make a move on Li Ziling?"
The three looked at each other.
Then a cold smile appeared on their faces.
It seemed that when they stopped the car earlier, this kid had sneaked into their car and was playing the tough guy.
"We weren't sure if Li Ziling was our target before, but now we're not so sure. Little brother, you've helped us confirm the final target! We should thank you." The middle-aged man said.
"Oh, who are you? Who are you working for?" Chen Jie asked.
Chen Jie could sense that the three in the car were all Earth-level masters. This was very different from Gong Jian and his two companions last time. Perhaps they knew the forces behind them. Chen Jie thought he might be able to get some information from them.
"Heh heh, you'll die soon, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. We are actually from the Shadow Sect." The middle-aged man said, "Others call me the Reaper, meaning I like to take people's lives."
"Shadow Sect?" Chen Jie frowned.
The Reaper chuckled and said, "It seems you know the Shadow Sect. Our primary target this time is to take away Li Ziling, and also to kill a man."
"Oh, who are you going to kill?"
"Chen Jie!" The Reaper squinted and said, "This Chen Jie has offended our Shadow Sect. Within a month, Chen Jie will surely die. However, after our investigation, we can't find Chen Jie himself."
"Kid, you must be from the Dragon Group, right? You should be able to get Chen Jie's identity information. I promise, as long as you help me find Chen Jie's location, I'll let you go, how about it?"
Chen Jie frowned.
It seemed the Shadow Sect had already started targeting him. The reason they couldn't find him was likely because the Dragon Group had hidden his identity information.
"Okay, I promise you," Chen Jie said.
The Reaper was overjoyed. "Then quickly call your organization and investigate Chen Jie's location. When I find Chen Jie, you can leave."
"But as far as I know, Chen Jie is at least a Heaven-level master. Can you three Earth-level masters kill Chen Jie?" Chen Jie asked.
"Heh heh, that's not something you need to worry about. We naturally have our ways." After the Reaper finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He said to Chen Jie in horror, "How did you know we were Earth-level masters?"
He suddenly realized that only those much stronger than him could see his strength. After all, unless a martial artist deliberately projected their aura, it was difficult for others to gauge their strength. Let alone someone who could see through his strength at a glance.
"Because I am the Chen Jie you are looking for," Chen Jie said calmly.
"You..."
"You're looking for death!" The Reaper was furious that his target had sneaked into his car. He immediately slapped out at Chen Jie.
"Run!" As the Reaper struck, he shouted this. In reality, he hadn't used much strength and was creating an opportunity for his escape. As he said this, his other hand had already grabbed the door handle, intending to leave.
Whoosh!
The next second, he was stunned. In front of him was a long sword.
"I advise you not to think about escaping, because that will only lead to your death," Chen Jie said calmly.
"This, this is the Great Treasure Sword!" The Reaper recognized the sword and was terrified. "How do you have the Great Treasure Sword! Who are you? Are you one of Master Fang's men?"
Hum!
At this moment, the body of the Great Treasure Sword began to tremble. The sword spirit, Fang Shaohua, was constantly transmitting his thoughts to Chen Jie: "Chen Jie, quickly, kill them! I want their lives! All members of the Shadow Sect, I want to kill them all!"
"Why aren't you moving? I command you, attack!" Fang Shaohua was anxious but helpless. Since the sword had chosen its master, if Chen Jie didn't act, he couldn't move either.
"You are mistaken. I am not Master Fang's subordinate. Master Fang is my subordinate," Chen Jie said calmly.
"You, what a big boast!" The Reaper quickly sneered. "You have Master Fang's sword, it seems your strength comes from Master Fang's inheritance! You've finally exposed yourself."
"Next, our Shadow Sect will launch a series of assassinations against you! Until all of Master Fang's remnants are wiped out."
Puff!
Chen Jie swung his sword and cleaved down. The Reaper's arm fell. The blood on the sword gradually disappeared.
Fang Shaohua laughed madly. "Hahaha... drinking the blood of my enemies feels good! Chen Jie, continue, I want to drink all their blood!"
Chen Jie ignored Fang Shaohua and said to the Reaper, "If I were you, I'd cooperate with me obediently, because if you don't, you'll just die sooner."
