Ye Hua was like water.

Zi Lingxue was lying on the bed and her mind was flipping through the Alchemy Diagram of the Nine Palace Mountain and River Diagram that was passed on to her by the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix in the forest of the Demon Area.

Originally, Zi Lingxue was still happy, she had already tested the spirit root and obtained the Alchemy Circle diagram so she could start to cultivate, but Dan Ying told her that the Flowing Gold Fire Phoenix only gave her the reduced version of the Alchemy Array. Although it was the same as the original one and had a certain amount of effect, if Zi Lingxue wanted the Alchemy Array to be more refined, she would have to wait until she obtained the original one before she could start to cultivate.

If he wanted to learn, then he must learn the best. Therefore, although Zi Lingxue was unwilling, he still decisively put down the array.

"Dan Ying, you are a part of the Nine Palace Mountain and River Diagram, do you have any special feelings for the Diagram?" A thought suddenly flashed through Zi Lingxue's mind.

Dan Ying said in a heavy voice, "Yes, within a certain range, I can sense the existence of the remnant scroll of the Nine Palace Mountain and River Diagram."

Zi Lingxue's eyes lit up, "Then do you know where the Nine Palace Mountain and River Diagram in the Cosmic Academy is?" The reason they had come to the Cosmic Academy at this time was precisely to obtain the Nine Palace Mountain and River Diagram.

Dan Ying said as she furrowed her brows, "When I came to the Cosmic Academy, I had investigated it privately, but I discovered that the sensation was actually very weak."

"It must be a barrier!"

Zi Lingxue suddenly became dejected.

Dan Ying moaned in alarm, "Lingxue, there's someone at the window!"

"Who?" Zi Lingxue's eyes flashed with a cold light.

A shadow flashed outside the window, Zi Lingxue didn't have time to say anything and immediately chased after him.

"What did you mean by luring me here?" Zi Lingxue looked at the pitch black space and said coldly, "Since you're here, why are you hiding?"

This place was the back mountain of Cosmic Academy, surrounded by mountains, it was a desolate place, and was actually a good place to kill and silence!

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, little girl, you sure have some guts!" Suddenly, a human figure appeared from the shadows. He was dressed in black and wore a black straw hat on his head.

Zi Lingxue frowned, she could not even see the other party's face, but just by hearing the evil laughter of the other party's, she knew that this kind of person must be someone with ill intentions!

"However, having the guts to do so at this time might not be a good thing. Jie Jie Jie, on the contrary, your courage and insight may have become the savior of your life! " The black-clothed man laughed arrogantly. "Since you're that curious, then I don't mind telling you. I am someone who has been specifically entrusted with coming here to take your life!"

"Jie, jie, jie!" Just as the black clothed man finished speaking, the dark golden black sickle had already emerged from his hands, approaching Zi Lingxue with an extremely ruthless aura!

"Lingxue, be careful, this person's spirit energy is far above yours, I'm afraid she already has the strength of the Spirit Lord! You are not his match, think of a way to escape! " Dan Ying's voice revealed her worry. After knowing Dan Ying for so long, this was the first time she heard the fear in her voice.

Hiss!

It was actually the strength of an early stage spirit duke!

Zi Lingxue's heart sank. Spirit Cultivators were divided into nine ranks and above the ninth rank were Spirit Scholars, Spirit Lords, Spirit Masters, and Spirit Marquis … When one reached the level of a spirit duke, they were further divided into the initial, middle, and peak levels.

This man in black was actually three levels higher than him.

In battles between powerhouses, a small difference was usually enough to kill a person, let alone a difference of three levels.

These three levels were enough to let the black clothed man squash Zi Lingxue as easily as killing an ant.

And what surprised Zi Lingxue the most was that people like Dongfang Xingjian, who were vice principals of Cosmic Academy, were only at the early stage of Spirit Lord, and the Patriarch of one of the Five Great Clans, Zi Yetan and the others were only at the Spirit Master level!

What sect did the man in black come from? How could he have such a high level of spiritual qi?!

Zi Lingxue kept thinking back to the possibility of the other party's identity!

Zi Lingxue also felt the murderous intent around the black clothed man, she did not dare to be careless, the Spirit Bone Whip in his hands had already left his hands, and was barely able to block the fatal attack of the dark golden black sickle!

"Who are you? Who told you to kill me? " Zi Lingxue didn't forget to dig out the advantageous information from the black-clothed man's mouth.

Bang!

The two's spirit weapons collided.

The black clothed man did not have much of a reaction, but Zi Lingxue was forced to retreat continuously.

"Jie Jie Jie, it's useless, little girl. You won't get any information from me. We specialize in taking money from people. Regardless of success or failure, we won't divulge any information about our employers!" The black clothed man had been through hundreds of battles, how could he not see through Zi Lingxue's goal?

The moves in his hands constantly changed, each one fatal!

The surrounding spiritual energy also shook continuously from the battle between the two. The spiritual energy ripples destroyed everything within a few kilometers of the two.

The African man's spiritual energy was filled with a baleful aura. As long as the spiritual energy touched any place, it would be instantly corroded!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The black clothed man kept quiet and focused on his attack. Originally, he did not place this little girl Zi Lingxue in his heart, but because he happened to be in the vicinity on a mission and the price that the other party offered was high, he decided to take Zi Lingxue's life. Otherwise, with his status, there was no need to kill him, but he did not expect that this little girl, Zi Lingxue, would be able to remain calm in this kind of critical moment.

He really couldn't be underestimated.

The smile on the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth also disappeared, and his gaze towards Zi Lingxue became even sharper.

"Wait!"

Puff!

Zi Lingxue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Spirit Bone Whip in her hand transformed into a white light that shot towards the black clothed man's chest.

"For what?" The black clothed man raised his eyebrows. The reason he dared to be so fearless was because even though Zi Lingxue was cautious, his strength was still far too lacking. He was a Spirit Lord, and the little girl in front of him, in addition to her sharp weapon, was at most a Spirit Master who had a breakthrough.

Compared to him, Zi Lingxue was still far weaker. Furthermore, Zi Lingxue was already severely injured, so no matter what, she could not escape from her grasp.

Zi Lingxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and looked at the black clothed man with an ice-cold voice, "You said that the other party came to kill me because they gave you a fee, but you can't say anything about them!"

"Jie, jie, jie, that's right." The man in black laughed bitterly.

"Then I can also give you a reward, double or even more, and you can go kill the person who hired you to kill me!" Zi Lingxue frowned as she looked at the black-clothed man.

The black-clothed man was startled, he did not expect Zi Lingxue to actually say that.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie, you are quite a smart girl. As long as you give me the money, I can accept any conditions you put forward. "Jie, jie, jie, before that, I have to fulfill the last employer's request!" The black-clothed man's laughter was horrifying, "Before I go anywhere, I still have to kill you!"

"However, before you die, you can leave your remuneration to me. This way, I can kill you before you kill that employer!"

Hearing this, Zi Lingxue's heart sank, she was actually a greedy guy!

Zi Lingxue slightly narrowed her eyes, as her thin lips slightly parted, "It seems that you do not have the chance to cooperate!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This is my Supreme House's rule to begin with. The man in black smiled sinisterly, "It's better for you to obediently accept your death!"
