I Can Devour Spirits

Chapter 339 - 290: Fan Hanzhou’s Problem

After swiftly maneuvering around the clearing, the dwarf returned to Ge Qingchuan’s side, holding a piece of parchment in his hand, while respectfully handing another piece to Ge Qingchuan.

Ge Qingchuan accepted the parchment, glanced at it briefly, then looked up to survey the people in the clearing. Some of them, who had also received parchments, were already whispering among themselves.

Yu Lieting stood at the edge on the other side of the clearing, gazing at the parchment in his hand with flickering eyes.

The parchment depicted an ink sketch of a young man with a forced smile, along with some annotations about his stature. Below the image were various detailed pieces of information, and Yu Lieting quickly scanned the most crucial ones: Zhu Qunxiang; Sect Envoy; True Qi Realm First Level.

Yu Lieting understood this was his target for assassination, and someone in the True Qi Realm First Level was definitely not weak!

Ge Qingchuan’s clear voice echoed at that moment.

"The data you hold in your hands is the detailed information on the targets you need to eliminate in this operation. These details were compiled through various channels by Qingchuan, aiming to anticipate the enemy’s moves and achieve precise kills without allowing anyone to escape!"

The information source included Xu Dongyang, the Temple Priest of the City God Temple in Xianggu County.

Although Ruan Fengshan had completely gone undercover after the Filthy Blood case last year, Ge Qingchuan found out that Xu Dongyang had not been exposed in that case.

Thus, Ge Qingchuan boldly engaged Xu Dongyang. Being a local of Xianggu County, Xu Dongyang could be present at the Talent Selection Conference and obtain fresh firsthand materials.

Despite the dense network of Hidden Guards in Xianggu County, using Xu Dongyang posed a risk of alarming the enemy, considering the recent Filthy Blood case in Xianggu County, where who could guarantee Xu Dongyang hadn’t already drawn attention from various spies? However, for these firsthand accounts, Ge Qingchuan believed the risk was worth taking.

Indeed, now it was proven that Ge Qingchuan’s decision was extremely wise.

During the three-day Talent Selection Conference, Xu Dongyang sent out one secret letter via carrier pigeon to the reception hall each night, totaling three letters. These three secret letters comprised almost a third of the final compiled data. Moreover, many threads of clues came from these secret letters. Once she obtained the threads, she used various methods and channels to unearth more information.

The branch of the Filthy Blood Sect within Yuan Yang Prefecture was established by Ge Qinglei and had been operating for over a decade, with covert agents in many places, and even within the Yuan Yang Prefecture office they had personnel.

"Now, Qingchuan will explain the specific plan for this operation." Ge Qingchuan’s voice resounded, causing the previously whispering crowd in the clearing to fall silent.

"We have planted multiple fixed black powder spots along the official road across from this dense forest, covering an explosion zone of nearly three zhang! We also mixed a large quantity of potent poisonous powder with the black powder!"

"However, these are merely supplementary methods; poisonous powder is ineffective against True Qi Realm experts! Even martial artists in the Inner Breath Realm, if they hold their breath in time, will not be harmed by the poisonous powder drifting in the wind!"

"But the black powder and poisonous powder can damage carriages, kill horses, and scatter their originally gathered people throughout various areas!"

"Then, you only need to ambush on either side of the official road, targeting your prey and act when the opportunity arises!"

"Strive to wipe them out completely without leaving any survivors!"

Although Ge Qingchuan was a woman, her words were forceful and filled with a murderous aura.

Upon hearing Ge Qingchuan’s words, the people present displayed varied expressions.

The greasy-haired beggar chuckled while looking at the parchment in his hand. The landowner next to him furrowed his brows and leaned over to glance at the beggar’s parchment. This glance made the landowner’s heart sour.

The beggar’s parchment depicted a sweetly smiling, bright-eyed young woman, while his own portrayed a round, chubby short man.

At that moment, Ge Qingchuan’s voice rang out again, "If anyone has any questions about this operation, feel free to ask, and Qingchuan will definitely answer everything truthfully!"

The landowner immediately pointed to the beggar beside him, speaking with displeasure, "Why is my opponent a chubby short man, while his opponent is a radiant young lady?!"

Ge Qingchuan smiled upon hearing this and replied, "Sir Dong, this is warfare in front of the battle lines, not a merit-based reward system! Qingchuan assigns opponents based on strategic formation! I do not see your opponent as merely a facade, but in terms of their martial arts realm! Sir Dong, you are in the Micro Realm, so I have matched you against an opponent in the Great Success Realm, while the girl in his hand is in the Minor Success Realm. If we assigned the girl to Sir Dong, a Micro against a Minor, wouldn’t that be a waste of combat power?"

The landowner, upon hearing this, glanced again at the beggar’s parchment, and sure enough, saw that the information below the slender young woman’s image read: Xia Shuangshuang, Inner Breath Realm Small Success, weapon Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear.

Sir Dong then felt relieved and looked at the beggar with scornful eyes, realizing that Qingchuan’s arrangement indicated the beggar’s realm was also not too high!

Seeing Sir Dong back to normal, Ge Qingchuan continued, "Gentlemen, do not worry about petty gains at the moment. As long as this operation is completed successfully, the Hall Master will reward everyone with the next level of Filthy Blood Divine Skill cultivation technique!"
