Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 844: Chapter 224: Shocking Turn of Events, Assassination at the Banquet (10,000 Words Seeking Monthly Votes)

Solution?

Chen Jie smiled and said, ”Naturally, I’ve thought it through, but the conditions aren’t quite ripe yet.”

As Chen Jie spoke, Zhou Chu wisely refrained from asking any further, while Xiao Hu, standing beside them, said, ”Jiu Si, you should be careful too. That Yelu is not someone who will go down without a fight. We want to get rid of him, but perhaps he’s also thinking about getting rid of us.”

Chen Jie heard this and said, ”Heh, I know. But he will not succeed.”

”Enough about that. You two go back and cultivate diligently. Strive to break through to the Holding Core Realm soon. Only then will you truly be able to help me.”

”Understood.”

Upon hearing these words, they both replied affirmatively. Watching them depart, Chen Jie thought to himself, Xiao Hu was right. As I plan against Yelu, Yelu must surely be planning against me, so I must anticipate his actions.

With this thought, Chen Jie activated his intelligence system.

After reaching the third level, the intelligence system transformed into delivering three pieces of specified intelligence every ten days. The last time this intelligence was used was against General Clam in the Medicine King Treasure incident, which was over ten days ago.

The cooldown period of the intelligence system had passed, making it the perfect time to gather some crucial intel.

Chen Jie thought, then immediately activated the intelligence system.

[Intelligence system updated (Level 3)]

[1.Your specified intelligence is about Yelu’s revenge tactics against you. The intel reveals that because of the growing threat you pose, Yelu has decided to move against you. He has already hired hitmen through Yu Man’er at a high price from Yong’an Prefecture to strike at your celebration banquet.]

[2.Your specified intelligence is about the information on the hitmen. The intel reveals that the two hitmen hired by Yelu are the Twin Life Hunters from Yong’an Black Market. One specializes in hidden weapons from the Tang Sect Outer Sect, and the other specializes in disguise and poisoning from the Xiangxi Five Poison Sect.]

[3.Your specified intelligence is about identifying disguise techniques. Disguise techniques have a characteristic where, due to modifications to the face, expressions are minimal, especially smiling. So, the best way to identify disguises is through stiff smiles, which likely indicate a disguise.]

As Chen Jie looked at the intelligence provided by the system, he squinted slightly. Hitmen?

Chen Jie began to analyze the intelligence. Firstly, the first piece of intelligence contained a large amount of information; Yelu indeed intends to target me.

It’s understandable; in Mianshui County, who doesn’t know that we are both sworn enemies?

Yelu and I are already at each other’s throats; coexistence is impossible. His desire to kill me is understandable. Hiring hitmen is understandable too, but why is he colluding with Yu Man’er?

Yu Man’er, Nan Batian’s first love, lost both Ba Tan and Nan Batian in the Medicine King Treasure incident, leaving her without her two men. Chen Jie thought she had already fled and wasn’t planning to pursue her any further.

Unexpectedly, she has now teamed up with Yelu, intending to kill me.

Clearly, she cannot be allowed to exist.

Chen Jie will not allow threats to his existence. He must find her and eliminate her. While she may not be a threat to me, what about Su Yunjin and Huang Wan’er?

With this thought, as determination reflected in Chen Jie’s eyes, Yelu and Yu Man’er must be killed.

Tomorrow, Chen Jie will deploy a large-scale operation to investigate Yu Man’er and the two hitmen’s information.

These two hitmen were recruited from Yong’an Black Market, which Chen Jie knows to be the largest black market in Hubei. The black market is owned by a formidable Rainbow Realm expert.

He’s known in Jianghu as Iron Hand Wu, a notorious figure in the underworld.

Chen Jie had heard of him before, but Iron Hand Wu is now in a semi-retired state, not managing affairs, leaving the black market in the hands of his disciples.

Yet, the most famous hitmen of Yong’an Black Market should be the Black Wind Twelve Evil. Why didn’t Yelu hire them but instead chose these Twin Life Hunters?

This doesn’t sound particularly impressive, does it?

Chen Jie doesn’t understand, but he remains cautious of these so-called Twin Life Hunters, one being a Tang Sect Outer Sect disciple skilled in hidden weapons.

Chen Jie is no stranger to Tang Sect—it’s one of the Six Great Sects of the realm today.

The Six Great Sects: Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Emei, Five Mountains Sword Sects, Sichuan Tang Sect.

These six are the leading sects of the current age, also recognized by the court as the Six Great Sects.

Of course, there are other sects that are powerful but aren’t recognized by the court.

For instance, the Zoroastrian Sect.

The Zoroastrian Sect is arguably even more powerful than all the Six Great Sects combined, excluding Wudang, because Wudang possesses Zhang Sanfeng, one of the Double Absolute Peaks on the Heavenly List.

Master Sanfeng transcends worldly matters. In this context, Wudang ranks among the Six Great Sects except for Master Zhang. If Master Zhang is included, it’s a super first-rate sect among the five first-rate sects.

Tang Sect remains very low-key; Jianghu people only know it to be divided into Inner and Outer Sect.

Inner Sect disciples are few, comprising family members of the Tang Sect and a small number of disciples with other surnames.

As for the Outer Sect, it is quite diverse; Tang Sect teaches them some hidden weapon skills, but not the high-level cultivation techniques of the Inner Sect. After mastering these, Outer Sect disciples can venture into Jianghu.

But if Tang Sect faces difficulty, they must return to Tang Sect to protect the sect.

This model is not unique to Tang Sect; Shaolin and the Five Mountains Sword Sects employ similar strategies, allowing their disciples to freely descend the mountain and pursue their own careers.
