I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 150 - 86: Midnight Downpour—With the Demon Exterminator, Suppress Qi Gathering, Slay the Immortal Robe!

Black Mountain City, midnight, the hour of the Ox.

Crack...!!

The night that was originally silent as ink.

Was suddenly split by a thunderbolt, as bright as daylight.

The blazing white lightning pierced through the heavy clouds of the midnight sky.

Then came a torrential downpour, 'splashing' down, 'thumping' on the cyan stone slabs, causing the moss in Cyan Stone Lane to slip, and the trees to hang low.

Three figures clad in tight-fitting garments, with surging blood and energy, swiftly traversed through the lanes of 'Cyan Stone Lane.'

The leader was shrouded in multiple layers of clear qi, so even when the torrential rain poured down, not a drop touched him, it all flicked off with a slight shake.

The other two, though drenched by the rain, had such vigorous energy erupting from their blood and flesh, that it steamed off rich white mist, constantly evaporating, instantly drying their bodies!

All three possessed true martial skills.

Furthermore, they weren't the kind who 'fish for three days and sun-dry nets for two'; they were people with solid dedication, having trained during the harshest winters and hottest summers for at least a decade, and with natural talent to have reached this level today!

Apparently, 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

One had mastered 'Circulation Qi Collection.'

The other two donned 'Water and Fire Immortal Robes'!

In the Outer City, they were certainly 'figures of significance.'

If they joined a gang, they'd definitely become leaders.

Even in the Outer City Government Office or the Military Department, they could easily hold the position of a 'Ten-Man Squad Leader' or 'Squad Leader.'

The leader, with his Circulation Qi Collection, could even sit as a 'Museum Director' on Martial Arts Street in the Inner City, a position of great importance!

Throughout Black Mountain, they could well be called reasonably skilled fighters, considered as 'pillars of strength.'

Midnight, heavy rain, three Grand Martial Artists who would certainly not venture into such 'remote regions.'

Yet, their purpose was clear, heading straight for the 'Ji Family Courtyard'!

They tread on the stone slabs, splashing rainwater around.

The leading figure, holding a long blade, yelled in a deep voice:

"The eldest young master of the Wei Mansion said."

"This time, it's to serve a notable figure from the Guardian Mansion, and the target, who just entered the Foundation Establishment Martial Barrier over a month ago, needs to be eliminated."

"It's a small task, less work, and after its success, there'll still be a considerable sum of silver coins, and each will get a 'Circulation Great Pill' to collect qi!"

"And most crucially, since Wutong Prefecture is remote, this Black Mountain City is even more of a backwater, with a large population!"

"The crimes we three brothers committed over in 'Shunan'... so long as we don't bring it up, the Demon Hunting Department here can't manage it, and won't discover them."

"Even if we can hide out, so long as it's on Great Zhao's territory, if we appear, we'll be hunted by those patrols from the Demon Hunting Department."

"But this time, it's different."

"If we can establish ties with the 'Guardian Mansion,' and obtain a completely new identity..."

"Even if washed clean and coming ashore, using past savings to open a Martial Arts Hall to live comfortably in old age, to build something for the latter half of life, isn't impossible!"

"So, we must get this done well, done beautifully, understand?"

The leading 'Circulation Qi Collection,' named Wang Cuishan,

Was a 'Demon Hunting Department criminal' drifting from Shunan Prefecture to Wutong, hiding all the way in Black Mountain!

His two brothers, all heavily indebted with crimes, usually breaking into homes, are ruthless people with dozens or even hundreds of lives on their hands.

To have mastered the 'Water and Fire Immortal Robe,' 'Circulation Qi Collection' at their prime in their thirties, these three have preyed upon scions of the powerful in towns and even in Prefecture City.

Therefore, they were listed on the wanted list of Shunan Prefecture's Demon Hunting Department, known as the 'Blood Hand Ghost Saber,' with nowhere to run or hide in Shunan Prefecture.

Forced, they could only lead their two brothers, running all the way to the desolate northwest, not daring to enter the 'Inner City,' fearing the City Demon Hunting Department might catch them.

And so, they settled with the wealthy merchant 'Wei Mansion' outside the city, taking up the role of 'Guest.'

Wei Mansion, with connections to 'salt and iron' merchants within the Inner City, is an affluent entity, to the extent that even Innate-grade medicinal herbs, Great Pill, are not a major burden.

As the saying goes, to forge iron, one's own self must be robust.

Relying on 'medication flow' cultivation, and maneuvering with wealth, seeking secret techniques from distinguished families.

The head of Wei Mansion, Wei Family Master Wei Zongchang, had already opened his 'Nine Apertures,' entering the Impermeable Vajra Body realm several years ago!

Such achievement is unmatched throughout the Outer City.

So, when these three criminals arrived in Black Mountain.

The typically stingy Wei Family Master also had the confidence to subjugate them, hence was willing to spare some benefits, taking the three as 'Guests,' to serve him.

Wang Cuishan and the others, eating and living off the Wei Mansion, would thus help Wei Zongchang handle some clandestine troubles; however, in reality, their relationship was more of a cooperation.

Not surprising if one day, the three felt unsafe and decided to change location for further evasion; at that time, they might also plunder Wei Mansion, akin to a double-edged sword.

However,

This time, the eldest young master Wei Zhang from the mansion gave Wang Cuishan and his companions an irresistible task.

The Guardian Mansion's noble instructed it, only to take out a mere constable, removing future troubles.

Upon success...

They could even obtain a brand new 'identity'!

This is something only a 'Town Guardian,' or a 'Prefecture Venerable' can accomplish.

Thus, the three were undoubtedly moved.

As they neared Jixia's House, without warning, intense rain poured, lightning flashed, startling the leader, Wang Cuishan, prompting a sense of unease, hence he gravely advised a couple of times.
