Instead of Checking In Regularly: I Hide And Cultivate In The Monster-quelling Tower And Become Invi

Chapter 21 Ghost Group

Most importantly, Zhou Xuan’s current comprehension could be said to be top-notch. He could easily see through many problems.

Sure enough, after Song Fan said the question that he could not understand, Zhou Xuan only thought about it for a moment before giving a unique understanding.

At that moment, Song Fan could not help but feel enlightened.

“So that’s how it is.” His worried brows relaxed and he instantly had an appetite. He couldn’t help but eat two more bowls of rice.

“Little Xuan, you’re too smart.” He could not help but give Zhou Xuan a thumbs up. “After hearing what you said, I’ll definitely succeed in cultivating the Heavenly Wolf Technique when I go back. It’s only a matter of time before I break through to the Gold Two-Star. I’ll treat you to a feast then.”

“We’ll talk about it after you break through,” Zhou Xuan replied.

The feast wasn’t the most important thing. If Song Fan could break through, he would be happy for him.

The two of them ate and chatted about cultivation. Every time they talked about the key points, Zhou Xuan would have his own unique insights, and Song Fan would also have unexpected gains.

Song Fan felt that he had to have more in-depth interactions with Zhou Xuan in the future and reduce his in-depth interactions with his female companion.

He also knew that with Zhou Xuan’s intelligence, cultivation would not be a problem.

The problem was that Zhou Xuan’s Astral Soul was only an unranked weed. Its potential was destined to be limited.

Perhaps, this was life. There would always be flaws, and it would not be perfect.

He would never have thought that Zhou Xuan’s Astral Soul had already evolved from an ordinary weed to a Nine Leaf Sword Grass. It was a top-notch ferocious grass and was a ferocious item in the starry sky.

Of course, Zhou Xuan had never revealed his evolved Astral Soul in front of outsiders. He did not want to expose it.

Even when he was looking for demonic beasts to practice in the Demon Subduing Pagoda, he was very cautious and never easily exposed the Nine Leaf Sword Grass.

However, it was safe to say that very few people knew about the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. There were only a few words about the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in ancient history.

As for those demonic beasts, most of them had never even heard of the name Nine Leaf Sword Grass.

Demonic beasts had suddenly risen without the inheritance of civilization. Humans were different. They had the inheritance of civilization.

This was also a huge difference between humans and demons.

The two of them chatted and talked about the attack on Song Fan last night.

Although there was no direct evidence, Song Fan was certain that someone from the Song family wanted to kill him, the illegitimate son.

In the past, those people thought that he was not a threat and even specially gave him a large sum of money to spend money outside.

They just wanted Song Fan to lose his ambition and become useless.

The more he played outside, the more relieved those people were.

Things were different now.

After Song Fan entered the Demon Subduing Academy, those people felt threatened by him. Therefore, they did not want Song Fan to grow up, so they wanted to kill him and took action.

Last night had been a close call for Song Fan. His soul had almost been scared out of his body.

Now that he thought about it, he was still afraid.

Most importantly, he had specially investigated today and realized that the identity of the man in black who died last night was not simple.

“He’s a killer, but not just any killer. He’s a hitman for the Ghost Group.’ When Zhou Xuan heard this, his expression froze slightly. “Is it the legendary mysterious and terrifying Ghost Group?”

“Yes.” Song Fan nodded. “Even the Law Enforcement Bureau only found out that he was from the Ghost Group today. Otherwise, his bounty wouldn’t only be a thousand yuan.”

“No wonder he’s so arrogant. It turns out that he’s backed by the Ghost Group.” Zhou Xuan had a sudden realization. Legend had it that there was a group of assassins called Ghost. This group had nurtured all kinds of assassins who specialized in taking people’s money to get rid of disasters.

This group had always been very mysterious and elusive.

So far, no one knew where their headquarters were or how many assassins they had.

There were three major academies, five aristocratic families, and eight major groups in the Nine States, and the Ghost Group was one of them.

The most famous thing about the Ghost Group was that they had once assassinated the head of the Ye family, one of the five great aristocratic families. It could be said to have caused a sensation that shook the Nine States.

Although that was ten years ago, many people still changed their expressions when they talked about it.

Ever since then, people also knew how terrifying the Ghost Group was. Their strength was no weaker than the five aristocratic families.

It was said that Ghost Group was very dirty. As long as the employer gave them money, they would not even let go of unarmed ordinary people.

If one became a target, no matter whether one was a hundred-year-old or a one-year-old baby, it would be difficult for one to escape.

Once one was targeted by them, it would be an extremely dangerous matter.

Unless the target died, they would not rest until one of them died.

If they couldn’t do it once, they would do it a second time, a third time…

In other words, Song Fan had become their target. Although he had avoided the first assassination attempt, there would be a second one.

However, no one knew when they would make their move. This was also the most difficult thing to guard against.

Moreover, the second assassin must be stronger than the first.

The current Song Fan was actually in a dangerous state at any time.

He would never have thought that someone in the Song family would not hesitate to contact Ghost Group to get rid of him.

Even if he was lucky enough to avoid assassination every time, he would never have peace.

Unless someone withdrew the mission or the Ghost Group was destroyed.

However, for him, both of these situations were impossible.

He could not help but feel a headache and hatred in his heart.

He was not wrong, but his existence made others feel threatened. In the eyes of others, he was wrong.

Zhou Xuan looked at him and reminded him, “Looks like you have to be more careful in the future. Be careful, especially when you’re doing things outside.”

Song Fan exhaled and said, “This feeling of being targeted by others is really f*cking uncomfortable. If I had the strength, no matter who it is, no matter what faction it is, I would destroy them all.”

Zhou Xuan patted his shoulder to comfort him. “This is the Demon Subduing Academy after all. I don’t think they will dare to attack you here. In the future, stay in the academy more and try not to go out as much as possible.’ Song Fan nodded. He had the same thought.

11 After dinner, the two of them went back to work.

On the way back, Zhou Xuan was thinking about making money. Thinking of Ghost Group, the assassins, and the bounty, he seemed to have a preliminary idea. However, he was still not mature enough. He needed to go back and think about it. He had dinner, but he did not return to Biji District. Instead, he returned to the Subduing Pagoda to cultivate.

Now, he was still weak, so he could focus on cultivation.

He cultivated the Lightning Steps and had a small breakthrough, so he went to look for the Lightning Mink in room 5 to spar.

The Lightning Mink only had a Silver Nine-Star cultivation, but its agility had been maxed out earlier, and its speed was extremely fast.

The man and beast chased each other, not giving in to each other.

One moment, Zhou Xuan was in front, and the next moment, the Lightning Mink was in front. The battle was extremely intense. In the end, Zhou Xuan realized that his speed was only as fast as the Lightning Mink. The man and the beast were evenly matched. He had cultivated the Lightning Steps and was a Gold One-Star, so his speed was not slow. This only meant that the Lightning Mink’s speed was really too fast. “Just you wait. I’ll defeat you in two days.” Zhou Xuan left this sentence and left gloomily.

After he returned, he began to cultivate the Dragon Power Technique again. The Dragon Power Technique was an internal cultivation technique, the most important cultivation technique. He had to cultivate it every day to continuously strengthen the power of his Astral Soul.

If he improved a little every day and accumulated it, there would definitely be a day when there would be a qualitative change.

He cultivated until ten o’clock at night before stopping.

He held his teacup and did not go back immediately. Instead, he turned around and entered room 7.

He had been waiting for this moment for a day of cultivation.
