Chapter 139 Shadow is coming
child time.

The moon was bright in the sky and the lights were ablaze inside the Trinity Gate. Jiang Mo and a few others were guarding the Qi diagram at night, waiting for the enemy to attack.

Outside the pavilion, there was an ancient tree. Zhuge Yu returned to his room and brought out a small copper furnace. He ignited the red fire and began to repair an inconspicuous magic weapon. Lu Jin watched intently, and the soft and bright firelight reflected on their cheeks.

"Brother, when you were refining weapons before, was there a risk of the furnace exploding?"

Lu Jin stared at the raging fire with a cautious look. Golden liquid was flowing from the burning magic weapon, and the cracks were gradually healing. The aura it emitted was becoming more and more powerful, but somewhat unstable, giving him the feeling of uncontrollable explosives.

"How can that be possible! Xiao Lu, my magic machine may not be as good as the seniors in the village, but at least it is of some level."

Zhuge Yu gently waved the fan woven with bird feathers in his hand. These were the only two magical instruments he brought from home when he came to become an apprentice in his early years, along with the copper furnace.

A gentle breeze blew across the furnace mouth, and the flames became stronger, burning the magic weapon all over golden and transparent like jade.

"We have to wait a while. This magic weapon is almost repaired. Its grade is not as good as the others, but the cracks are the lightest and it can even be activated and used. Therefore, it is the easiest to recast. It's just right for me to practice with it."

"Brother, you are amazing."

Lu Jin knew nothing about refining equipment, but when he saw that Zhuge Yu was skilled in refining equipment, performing strange magic, and even had reached the second level of reverse physiognomy, he sincerely admired him.

"Hey, wait until I finish refining these and I'll pick the most suitable one for you, Xiao Lu."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Yu was in a dilemma for a moment.

With his ability, he can barely repair the magic weapons worn by those assassin elders, but the quality and power will be reduced. After all, compared with Qimen and Nisheng, the level of his magic machine is the weakest.

After repairing the instrument, only two-thirds of the original effect can be reproduced.

Besides, of the five magic weapons, except for one left for Xiao Lu, the others were given to his fellow brothers and sisters, who had a very good relationship with him. Now that everyone was concerned, there was not enough to share.

While he and Lu Jin were concentrating on watching the fire, Changqing, Shuiyun and Shengsheng next door had been loading ammunition for several hours, reloading the magazines of the machine guns and were ready for battle.

Outside the mountain gate, Weir deliberately avoided the courtyard and found a corner to meditate. He exhaled a gray-brown breath and entered a meditative state. The cracked wounds were wrapped in gray mist and gradually sutured. Even the internal bleeding organs and broken shoulder bones were slowly repairing.

Yousha hid in a secluded corner on the second floor of the Sutra Library, tidied up a wooden table, took out an oil lamp from the transparent cube she carried with her, and placed it on the table, and then searched for paper, pen, and ancient magic books.

Before refining the block for permanent use, she not only had to look for the complete spell, but also planned to prepare some healing potions to heal the injuries in her body.

In a forest more than a thousand meters away from the Trinity Gate, groups of shadows emerged from the ground, gradually stood up, and turned into human shapes.

The head of the Shadow Bamboo Society, five top-ranked killers, three elders, and twenty-four bottom-ranked killers gathered from all over the country to participate in this hunting feast.

Unlike the Sin Ye Sha who went directly to the Trinity Gate, the various branches of the Shadow Bamboo Society were evenly matched and governed by five top-notch assassins whose status and strength were close to that of the president, so the personnel had to be gathered before the mission began.

Otherwise, no matter which branch's strength is missing, it will be a critical loss, and they will not be able to compete with the other two, let alone attack the gate of Trinity.

At this moment, a thin middle-aged man with gray hair in the crowd was asking the top assassin next to him:
"See if there's an ambush, Liu'er."

"Wait a moment, President."

The person who responded was wearing a strange monkey mask. He slowly squatted on the ground, forming a seal with one hand. Phantoms appeared in his ears, emitting a light blue glow.

Invisible ripples started from them and spread out in all directions. Any movement, whether it was the sound of the wind, the whisper of insects, or the foraging of animals, could not escape his monitoring.

As the range limit stretched, the sound that this top killer could hear became weaker and weaker, until it finally stopped and fell into complete silence.

"President, it's safe within 500 meters. I didn't detect any human breathing." Everyone looked alert to the real-time intelligence provided by Liu'er. This was not good news.

"How could it be? Logically, the other two families should have arrived too, but now we are the only ones here?"

"Did those bastards start it?"

"The Trinity Sect sent Xiaozhan to pass on the message that they knew we were going to take action, but they didn't even post a sentry? Or have they already run away?"

Several elders and top killers had their suspicions, but were not sure if there was any trick involved.

"President, do you want to advance another 300 meters?"

"Occupying the area near the foot of the mountain will give us an advantage. Regardless of whether Sin Ye Sha and Wan Nian Shou are there or not, we will have enough reaction time to make a decision. If we are intercepted by them, we can use secret methods to bypass the mountain and they will not be able to find us."

Liu'er was extremely confident in his abilities. He plowed over almost every inch of soil to make sure the woods ahead were safe.

"Let me think."

At this time, the president spread out a map and checked the nearby mountains. He found many places marked with rugged terrain and dense forests. After a few breaths, he decided:

"Go forward 200 meters, Liu Er, you will be responsible for reconnaissance then."

"If the other two don't come, we can wait a little longer. There's no need to waste our energy. We're afraid that we won't be able to capture them by then, and they'll take advantage of us and stab us in the back. That would be a loss."

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison, and then their bodies gradually turned into shadows. They jumped along the shadows of the trees in the forest cast by the moonlight, and shuttled between the mountains.

"Uncle Master, here I come."

Cheng Zhen looked at the dense red dots on the Qi map and suddenly became alert. According to the information he had learned from the previous transaction with the Tang Sect, whether it was the Yingzhu Society or the Wannian Hand, they were more difficult to deal with than the Sin Sand.

The former is good at hiding and attacking with the help of shadows, and is hard to guard against and difficult to pursue.

The latter is a school that uses objects to kill people, and they carry firearms. Once a head-on conflict occurs, dozens of people rely on the firepower of guns to suppress the assassins. It is extremely difficult to pass through the hail of bullets and kill those assassins.

"This time, Will and I will intercept and kill him."

"The estimated time is almost up. I'm just afraid that there will be another force coming here at this time."

Jiang Mo stood up, stretched his muscles, and said to Si Chong and Cheng Zhen:

"I'll leave the sect to you guys to take care of. I'll be back soon."

Si Chong frowned and could not help but remind him: "Brother, be careful, these are killers who are willing to bleed at the edge of their swords."

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Mo noticed that the tea on the table had cooled down, and suddenly smiled:
"Brother, make another pot of tea. I'll be back in a quarter of an hour."

After saying that, he walked over to Si Chong, patted the old man on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry, and his figure disappeared into nothingness.
