Chapter 359 Jin Family
The main reason is that the information provided by the other party is more comprehensive.
Assassinating a pseudo-innate or even an emperor is not something that can be accomplished simply by talking and agreeing. The price depends on various factors, among which intelligence is a crucial one.
The more comprehensive the information provided about the assassination target, the lower the price will be. However, if false information is provided and the assassin is put in danger, Shadow will let the employer know the consequences.
Gu Yun quietly looked at the assassination intelligence report handed over by Zero, grinning. This intelligence report was so comprehensive that it couldn't be more so. If everything described in it was true, then the Shadow Organization's prestige was about to be greatly enhanced.
Liu Hongyu, male, ancestor of the Liu family, pseudo-innate, possesses the Golden Emperor's Will. The Emperor's Will has two abilities: 'Hundred Refinements' allows him to temporarily condense any metal into his own weapon at will, and 'Weapon Master' allows him to remotely control weapons.
At first glance, it seemed quite ordinary, but after asking a few more questions, Gu Yun understood. This "Weapon Master" ability, although it could remotely control weapons through a certain amount of divine sense or by channeling qi into the sword, had almost no limit to its power and would not distract you. It would make all nearby weapons fight according to your will, rather than you controlling them to fight.
Um...
The true Unlimited Blade Works.
The weakness of the Golden Emperor's Will is that although it is powerful and convenient to attack or defend through the ability of the "Master of Weapons", after all, the reaction speed of the mind is much faster than that of the physical body. Free from the limitations of the physical body, the weapon is very flexible to control.
However, unlike some special abilities that have directional tracking, his ability to fight semi-automatically by following the Emperor's will is greatly influenced by the Emperor's perception. In other words, if a person can break free from Liu Hongyu's perception, then the ability of "Master of Soldiers" is basically half-useless.
Limited by people.
Gu Yun chuckled and looked at the man in plain clothes kneeling in front of her, whose face had a horrifying scar running diagonally across the bridge of his nose.
"What's your relationship with him?"
"I'm quite curious that you know even our weaknesses so well. You don't have to tell me; it won't affect our cooperation. But it will affect whether the Shadow Organization will consider you a core member."
"After all, one of your bargaining chips is a contract of servitude, and your pseudo-innate strength is indeed quite impressive."
"Don't try to deceive me. If you want to say something, say it. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."
Gu Yun's eyes gleamed with a dangerous red light, sending chills down one's spine.
The man lowered his head and spoke naturally, as if he had been prepared for everything.
"My name is Jin Zicheng. Perhaps I am the only remaining bloodline of the Jin family?"
Jin Zicheng gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"The Jin family was once a dominant force and a member of the Star Alliance."
"As for the Liu family, they were merely a marriage alliance with the Jin family back then. They are the most vicious women, they deserve to die!"
He sighed softly, his gaze gradually turning cold.
"Actually, we all had a vague feeling at the time that their purpose in the marriage was not pure, but what kind of marriage is it based on genuine affection? So we didn't care. Money or power, these are not important things."
"Over time, the Liu family remained very well-behaved, and we gradually lost our basic suspicions about them and began to treat them as family."
"But little did we know that they were never after the wealth or power of the Jin family, but rather our imperial will to inherit the throne."
"Some people are just so vicious. You treat them like family, but they want to take everything away from you."
Even their own children!
"None of them will be spared."
“There is a vacuum period in inheriting the Emperor’s will, Demon Lord, you should be aware of that.”
"And this vacuum period is basically a top secret among all ethnic groups."
Gu Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, a glint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He probably already knew what was going to happen next.
The improvement that the Emperor's Will brought to the pseudo-innate was simply too great.
A pseudo-innate being with imperial will simply crushes other ordinary pseudo-innate beings.
No matter how many ordinary pseudo-innate level forces a force has, it cannot be called a hegemonic force. However, as long as a force has an emperor, it will inevitably become a hegemonic force if it develops steadily.
This is the gap.
But that Liu family member was also audacious; if they failed, their entire clan would be wiped out.
Jin Zicheng continued speaking, his body trembling uncontrollably, and Gu Yun could sense the hatred in his heart.
No wonder she was willing to give up everything to seek revenge on him.
"At that time, our Jin family patriarch knew that his lifespan was coming to an end, so he went into seclusion and secretly selected pseudo-innate experts in the clan to inherit his skills."
"Even within the Jin family itself, only the core elders know. However, Liu's influence within the Jin family is so deep that it's impossible to keep it from them."
"However, at that time, the Liu family was no match for the Jin family. The Liu family only had one pseudo-innate expert, while the Jin family had seven or eight, as well as an emperor-level ancestor, so we didn't think too much about it."
"How would I know!"
"The Liu family is actually secretly colluding with the demon race!"
"You've arbitrarily used the Xuan Tian Sword, the treasure of my Jin family, as a bargaining chip, colluding with us!"
"On the night the Jin family patriarch passed away, the Liu family and the demon race joined forces, and blood covered the entire sky. The Jin family was betrayed and slaughtered, and everything of our Jin family was swallowed up."
Gu Yun sensed an endless killing intent in their words.
However, it was the first time he had heard this word, so it seemed rather novel to him.
"Monster clan?"
"An emperor was involved?"
Jin Zicheng nodded heavily.
Without an emperor, Gu Yun couldn't possibly fail with so many pseudo-innate level cultivators in the Jin family.
"Fortunately, my Jin family is a large family with a history of over a hundred years, and we still have some special backup plans. As for ordinary backup plans, the Liu family is also very clear about them."
Jin Zicheng gave a bitter smile.
"The entire Jin family went to great lengths, and countless relatives and elders died, to get me out of that hell."
"This ring was also given away at the same time."
Gu Yun weighed the exquisite silver-white spatial ring in his hand. It was naturally filled with a large amount of cultivation supplies. Jin Zicheng had only achieved the pseudo-innate realm at the age of less than a hundred years old, probably thanks to this ring.
However, the Xuan Tian Sword, the clan's most treasured artifact mentioned by Jin Zicheng, was not found there. It's likely that it has already fallen into the hands of the demon race.
As for why, Gu Yun had no interest in reopening old wounds.
Jin Zicheng didn't have the guts to lie to himself.
Even if Jin Zicheng is...
An emperor.
Gu Yun narrowed his eyes.
"I understand everything."
"The hatred of annihilating a clan is irreconcilable."
"But the appearance of the demon race has caused such a huge upheaval among humans, doesn't the Star Alliance care?"
"And how could the demon race bear to hand over the imperial will to the Liu family?"
"If it were me, the Liu family wouldn't be qualified to cooperate with me. Even if they did, it would only be a sham. At worst, I'd just search their souls one by one and see what conditions they had for condensing their imperial will."
