Yan City, in the outer residential area.

Qiao Mu walked out of the door, looked around, and gazed at the familiar scenery of the past.

In the outer area of the old Yan City, there were many empty houses.

This time, the Wuji Association clearly found a vacant house in the outer area to temporarily stay in.

Wu Qizheng didn’t stop him from leaving, instead, he stood there with interest, holding his chin and observing Qiao Mu’s every move.

At the entrance of the courtyard, after looking around, faint footsteps could be heard in the distance. A passerby living in the outer area was coming over.

Walking in the alley was a middle-aged man who looked like an old farmer. He had a big smile on his face, showing his yellow teeth, while chatting with people passing by.

It seemed like the middle-aged man noticed Qiao Mu’s gaze, so he turned around and looked at him, slightly surprised.

"Old Huang?"

Qiao Mu didn’t expect to bump into an old acquaintance as soon as he arrived in Yan City. In a hurry, he turned his head and walked back into the courtyard.

Qiao Mu’s "Flesh Changing Skill" was currently only at the stage of makeup and disguise.

Because he was knocked out by Martial Saint, his disguise was exposed, so the current Qiao Mu appeared with his original face.

The current Qiao Mu is actually 60 years old.

But because Long Life Fist has already achieved a certain level, Qiao Mu’s vitality has not declined until now, and he looks younger than the ordinary sixty-year-old men from the Great Yan Imperial Court.

It’s just because of the disguise, Qiao Mu intentionally makes himself look like a sixty-year-old man in his daily life.

Wu Qizheng observed Qiao Mu’s reactions with a thoughtful expression.

"As you can see, we are in Yan City." He explained the details of the plan to assassinate the Emperor.

"To the west of Yan City lies the Qingming Mountain range. So, for now, we will rest in Yan City."

"The best opportunity to assassinate Emperor Yonghe is when he is on his way to Qingyun Temple…"

"However, unfortunately, our Wuji Association still doesn’t know the exact whereabouts of Emperor Yonghe."

The Star Xuan Envoy from the Wuji Association used to come to Yan City to find Emperor Yonghe’s trace and also met Guo Yan.

However, it was clear that the information of the Star Xuan Envoy had a small deviation.

Although Emperor Yonghe had already arrived in Nan Province, he was not in Yan City at that time but in Heyang City.

Qiao Mu was shocked when Wu Qizheng briefly told him about the assassination of the emperor.

As the emperor of Great Yan, Emperor Yonghe’s every move was not just his own business.

If he were to bow to the Xuantian Sect’s immortals, even in the identity of an ordinary pilgrim instead of the Great Yan Emperor, it would definitely have serious consequences.

"No wonder the Wuji Association has a plan to assassinate the emperor…" Qiao Mu sighed softly.

And for Qiao Mu, there was no psychological burden to assassinate this emperor who was known for his incompetence.

Therefore, this operation was indeed in line with the interests of the Martial Saint.

Not to mention, Martial Saint also offered Qiao Mu an irresistible condition: The best martial arts secret techniques.

Wu Qizheng continued, "The time for the Great Yan Emperor to visit Qingyun Temple is the first day of next month, which is about seven or eight days from now."

"If we fail to find the trace of the Great Yan Emperor and assassinate him before the first day, the hope of success will be very slim once it reaches the first day."

If not necessary, Wuji Association also doesn’t want to directly ascend Qingyun Temple of Xuantian Sect, as that means directly confronting Xuantian Sect head-on.

Not only is it highly likely to fail in assassinating the emperor, but there is also a possibility of being completely wiped out by Xuantian Sect.

After finishing speaking, Wu Qizheng said solemnly,

"Qiao Zhong, assassinating the emperor is an extremely dangerous action, even for Martial Saint, it can be equally dangerous, and you may have to face the cultivators of Xuantian Sect."

"Martial Saint involving you in this matter is actually to train you as a future martial arts seed… or martial arts resource."

"If you die, it’s your own fault for being weak."

"If you can survive, then you will have passed his test. He will give you the best martial arts secret techniques…"

"So, try hard to stay alive."

Qiao Mu had been listening attentively, but when he heard this, he became a little confused.

When Martial Saint mentioned it before, he hadn’t grasped its meaning, but now he saw a spark of hope.

His mission, unexpectedly, was to stay alive?

Does that sound too difficult?

Can he just die? Would that count?

For Qiao Mu, it would be much easier to die than to live.

"If I want the top-secret techniques in Martial Saint’s hands, I must restrain my reckless desires and do my best to preserve my own life during the mission to assassinate the emperor…"

"This is too difficult, I’m afraid I can’t control it."

Qiao Mu was amazed.

However, when he carefully thought about it, he was already sixty years old now, although his energy and blood remained strong due to the Half Long Life Fist.

But if a few more years passed, he might face the dilemma of physical aging and declining energy and blood.

So he really needed the second half of the "Long Life Fist Sutra" in the hands of the Wuji Association, preferably getting it immediately.

"Before obtaining the complete ‘Long Life Fist Sutra,’ I definitely shouldn’t take reckless risks. I should cherish my life… at least for now."

"I’ll take risks once I have it in my hands."

Qiao Mu thought this in his mind.

While deep in thought.

Outside the door, footsteps were heard again, and the unexpected person who entered was someone Qiao Mu didn’t expect.

One of them was Martial Saint, and the other person was disguised as Wang Songhe.

As soon as Wang Songhe entered the door, his gaze immediately fell on Qiao Mu’s face.

"Qiao Sen?" he unconsciously blurted out, feeling shocked and overwhelmed.

Not long ago, he heard the news of "Qiao Pifu’s" death, and he was burned to ashes by Saintess Wu Qingxin in front of everyone’s eyes. How could he appear in Yan City again?

Among the former Qiao’s family, from Qiao Mu to Qiao Pifu, they all died in front of everyone’s eyes.

The only survivor was Qiao Sen, who successfully assassinated Guo Yan back then.

He glanced at Wu Qizheng standing beside him and suddenly realized.

If this wise person took action, perhaps there was a way to treat Qiao Mu’s meridian injury, without having to suffer for ten or eight years.

He thought to himself: After Qiao Sen left my hideout, did he mix with the people from Wuji Association? Did he end up turning his misfortune into fortune and healing his injuries?

Is that already deceased "Qiao Pifu" from Heyang City… another Qiao family member?

"Oh… It’s nothing. I made a mistake. The Qiao Sen I know is actually younger than you." Wang Songhe quickly understood.

No matter if the person in front of him is Qiao Zhong or Qiao Sen, he shouldn’t have revealed it.

Because the Martial Saint next to him is not a good person, it is not a good thing for Qiao Zhong to be standing with the Martial Saint.

But all of his words and actions were being observed closely by the nearby Martial Saint.
