I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133: Assassin Entry

But Lu Zheng definitely needs to pay a visit to Chixiao Temple. After all, Master Yun Ning became Fallen, and Lu Zheng personally took him down. This matter needs to be clarified.

"Shouldn’t you also inform White Cloud Temple?" Lin Wan said, "After all, Chixiao Temple is a major Daoist Sect and located in Capital City, so they’re probably very concerned about their reputation."

Lu Zheng stroked his chin, "Makes sense, huh?"

Chixiao Temple isn’t like the smaller sects; it’s a leading Daoist Sect with comprehensive strength even surpassing White Cloud Temple. And having taken down one of their top experts, bringing the deceased’s belongings to the temple to inform them that he became Fallen...

Although essentially helping Chixiao Temple clean up their own ranks and prevent Master Yun Ning from continuing his killing spree, which could further damage their reputation if exposed, from the outside, it just looks like showing off and slapping them in the face.

"Wan is right. Even though you’re a disciple of White Cloud Temple, it’s better to be prepared." Liu Qingyan said.

"Okay!" Lu Zheng nodded readily.

"So, when are you going?" Lin Wan asked excitedly.

"What about... summer?" Lu Zheng pondered, "Wouldn’t Zhongjing be livelier in the summertime?"

After all, for an ancient country, spring sowing and autumn harvesting are busy times, but Zhongjing, being the capital of Great Jing, shouldn’t have this issue.

Indeed, Si Lingxi said indifferently, "Regardless of when you go, Zhongjing is always bustling."

So Lu Zheng set his schedule, "Let’s go in summer then!"

Si Lingxi, "..."

Lu Zheng asked Liu Qingyan, "How’s Zhao Xiaodao doing? Any update?"

Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh, her brows relaxed, "Why are you always interested in that? Or do you have a thing for her..."

Lu Zheng quickly defended himself, "I’m just a regular person with normal celebrity gossip interests. She’s not my type."

"What about Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi?" Shen Ying curiously asked, "You always mention them. I checked, and they indeed had a unique charm when they were young. Should I send them each a Beauty Pill?"

"Hmm? Actually, that’s not impossible... ahem, I’m mainly thinking of the general public; absolutely no personal interest!" Lu Zheng gently moved Lin Wan’s hand away from his waist, speaking earnestly.

Lin Wan pouted, looking disdainful.

Lu Zheng coughed twice, forcibly changing the subject, "So, it seems like you guys are out all day. What have you been up to?"

Liu Qingyan, being most fond of Lu Zheng, immediately responded, "Little Saber has taken us to many places, including private hot springs, spas, and even to experience fitness and yoga..."

Lu Zheng looked confused, "These activities are kind of pointless for you guys, aren’t they?"

"Indeed, they are!" Shen Ying agreed matter-of-factly, "But they feel quite nice to do."

Liu Qingyan nodded repeatedly, laughing, "I even had cucumber slices stuck all over my face."

Lu Zheng nodded, "As long as you’re happy."

"By the way, Lady Sun gave birth." Lin Wan suddenly said.

"Huh?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow. Thinking back, Liu Qingyan guessed the date of Lady Sun’s pregnancy last year, and it seemed like it’s about time.

"We need to congratulate her." Lu Zheng said.

...

The following day, Lu Zheng and the others met up with Zhao Xiaodao and visited Deng Pao Pao’s house together.

Liu Qingyan helped Lady Sun adjust her body and gifted her an Elixir, while Shen Ying gave each of their three children a Peach Blossom Talisman.

Then, just as they left Deng Pao Pao’s home, Lin Wan’s phone rang.

"What’s up?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Umm, a killer has entered the country." Lin Wan said calmly.

"What?" Lu Zheng looked bewildered.

"The dark web issued orders for the deaths of Lei Zhiyun, Qi Yong, and Wang Zhiyi." Lin Wan said sternly.

Lu Zheng’s eyes sharpened, "Lighthouse Country?"

"It seems to be the Harry Group." Lin Wan contemplated, "If it were the official Lighthouse Country, they wouldn’t place an order on the dark web. They have their dirty work teams that leave no traces."

"Has someone accepted the order?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Yes, a killer group has accepted it." Lin Wan said, "And someone has already entered the country."

"Customs didn’t stop them?"

"Obviously, the ones who came were killers outside of our blacklist." Lin Wan replied, "But we have databases, and once these are identified, the authorities were informed. I assume they received the message too."

"Send me their information so I can handle it." Lu Zheng paused, then added, "Also, send me the dark web address. I want to investigate who issued the order."

Lin Wan couldn’t help but slap her forehead over the phone, "I almost forgot you’re a super hacker. But this dark web is still useful; many countries source information from it. Don’t just dismantle it."

"Got it." Lu Zheng replied.

Hanging up, Lu Zheng let the girls continue on their way while he returned home and booted up his computer.

After a flurry of dazzling operations, the dark web, which regular people wouldn’t even know about, unveiled its secrets to him.

It’s worth noting that the contents indeed surprised Lu Zheng, but not too unexpectedly.

On the dark web, assassination tasks make up a tiny fraction. Most transactions involve information trading, and security missions surpass assassination missions in proportion. Even prominently listed assassination tasks usually target relatively unimportant figures, offering little financial reward.

That’s how it should be. Lu Zheng suspected that half the users on this dark web were intelligence personnel from various countries. The website’s dense information alone must be saving intelligence agencies significant budgets!

Moreover, truly significant assignments wouldn’t be openly displayed on the dark web but hidden within chats and completed in private.

The assassination of Lei Zhiyun and the others was blatant precisely because it was trivial enough to be publicly listed.

Lu Zheng browsed through the site, finding numerous intriguing yet insignificant sensational gossip, like the mushy phone calls between the president of Gaul and the first lady, the internal power struggles in several factions within the Mao Bear Country, and evidence of former Lighthouse Country presidents being hollow and weak.

Such information wouldn’t be covered in the media, yet it’s unimportant, much like the minor scoop from the entertainment world, satisfying Lu Zheng’s curiosity.

After taking a tour, Lu Zheng located the assassination task targeting Lei Zhiyun and his peers.

Tracing the line, he discovered the IP address of the account that posted the task was from California in the Lighthouse Country. The funds used on the dark web came from a private foundation registered in the Cayman Islands, and after several rounds of checks, pointed to the largest shareholder of the Harry Group, the Harry Clan.

Additionally, the task was accepted by a military group active in Southeast Asia, primarily engaged in combat against local governments and occasionally dealing in human trafficking and assassination as a side business.
