Eight Evil Paths, Twelve Deadly Paths!
Even among the most unorthodox and unorthodox sects, it is a very special existence.
Compared to the other sects of the Eight Evil Paths, the Twelve Fiends of the Meridian and Noon are not a sect, but an organization.
An assassin organization!
As long as you can afford the price, there's no one they wouldn't dare kill, from evil masters to righteous grandmasters.
Therefore, not only do righteous people deeply abhor these twelve evil spirits, but even those who belong to the eight evil paths keep their distance from them.
They only care about money, not people. As long as the price is right, they will kill even those who are also among the twelve evil spirits of the Zi-Wu system, without any regard for feelings.
Having been ordered to exorcise demons, Lin Fei naturally studied the eight evil paths and was also familiar with the Twelve Fiends of Zi and Wu.
The Twelve Killing Stars appear at midnight, and those destined to be killed will not live past noon the following day. Legend has it that if these twelve killing stars receive their mission at midnight, the person they are to kill will absolutely not live to see noon the next day. For many, these twelve killing stars are like the relentless, death-bringing Yama, the King of Hell.
This time, in Jiangxia County's exorcism, almost all the young generation of the eight evil sects gathered, except for the Twelve Fiends of Zi Wu.
Because among the twelve evil spirits of Zi-Wu, there are only twelve people, and there are no young masters. Among these twelve people, even the one with the lowest cultivation level possesses the strength of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
……
Upon hearing this strange man claim to be the Pig of the Twelve Earthly Branches, Lin Fei immediately tensed up: "You're here to see me?"
"That's right!" Hai Zhu nodded without any hesitation, admitting, "Someone paid money to take your life. Ming Xin, the twentieth generation disciple of the Xuanxin Jade Emperor Sect, I haven't picked the wrong person, have I?"
Since the other party has already come knocking on his door, they must have already found out Lin Fei's identity. Even if Lin Fei wanted to deny it now, they probably wouldn't believe him.
Who on earth would want to take his life? And even go so far as to contact the infamous and evil assassin organization, the Twelve Fiends of Zi Wu? Lin Fei's thoughts raced, countless ideas flashing through his mind.
Since his reincarnation, this was the first time Lin Fei had left the Jade Emperor Sect's mountain gate in his memory. As for making enemies, it was impossible for him to have made enemies with anyone.
Moreover, the other party directly stated his identity as a disciple of the Jade Emperor Sect, meaning that this pig was clearly after him as a disciple of the Jade Emperor Sect, rather than the original owner of this body having any other identity.
"Could it be Mingci?" Lin Fei immediately thought of Mingci. He had only been separated from him for three days, and he had already attracted the Twelve Fiends of Zi and Wu. It was hard not to associate him with Mingci.
But Lin Fei quickly dismissed the idea. Even if Ming Ci had no life-or-death grudge against him, and even if he wanted to deal with him, it would only be because of his cooperation with Ji Lianxing; he would never go after the Twelve Fiends of Zi Wu.
"Who wants to kill me?" Lin Fei pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a conclusion, so he simply asked directly.
"I'm sorry, but we must keep the employer's identity absolutely confidential," Pig chuckled, not intending to reveal to Lin Fei who wanted to kill him. He simply said, "Give him a good meal, and it'll all be on me. In all my life, I, Old Pig, have made sure my victims are well-fed before they go on their way, and you'll be no exception!"
He sat there with an air of superiority, seemingly unconcerned about Lin Fei's escape. Although he, the Pig, ranked last among the Twelve Fiends, he was still a master of the first level of the Dharma Aspect realm. Dealing with a mere Body Tempering Realm disciple of the Jade Emperor Sect would be a piece of cake for him.
Lin Fei, however, had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to die. Although his opponent was a master of the Dharma Aspect Realm, Lin Fei was not about to offer his neck for death.
Lin Fei looked around, trying to find a way to escape. But to his despair, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he had no hope of escaping from a powerful being at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
"What, you're not planning to eat anymore?" The pig patted its belly and stood up. "Alright, you'd better set off soon. Maybe you can even get in line when you get to the King of Hell!"
Just as the Pig was about to make a move, a wine bottle flew in from outside the door, smashed to the ground with a bang, and shattered into pieces.
"You damned fat pig, don't dirty my place! If you want to kill someone, go outside the city!" The innkeeper staggered in, her face flushed, as if she had drunk quite a bit.
Strangely, the infamous Twelve Fiends of Zi and Wu seemed quite wary of the innkeeper. After being scolded by her, they weren't angry, but just smiled and said, "Sister Hong, how did we dirty your place? I know these rules well, don't worry, I won't do anything here."
The proprietress snorted, looked at Lin Fei with her drunken eyes, and sighed, "Little Taoist priest, I told you not to come in long ago. You chose the path to heaven but refused to take it, and now you've barged into hell. You can't blame anyone else."
She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Get out of here! Get out of here! Both of you, get out of here!"
The pig chuckled and looked at Lin Fei, saying, "Kid, let's go, don't just stand there! After we get out of the city and I finish you off, I still have to go back and report!"
No sooner had Hai Zhu finished speaking than with a "whoosh," Lin Fei's body flew out of the inn like an arrow released from a bow.
"Hehe, this little Taoist priest is even more anxious than I, Old Pig!" Pig chuckled and patted his belly. "Since you're in such a hurry to get going, Old Pig will hurry up and send you to see King Yama!"
After saying that, the pig moved and tried to chase after them, but the innkeeper, who seemed to be drunk but not quite, blocked his way.
The pig froze on the spot, seemingly angry but not daring to lay a hand on the proprietress: "Sister Hong, what are you doing?"
The proprietress glanced at her: "A dignified Dharma Aspect Realm expert attacking a mere Body Tempering Realm junior? I'm ashamed for your boss. Let that kid leave the city first; are you afraid you won't be able to catch him?"
Seeing that the landlady didn't intend to stop him, Hai Zhu felt relieved: "Sister Hong is right, let that kid run a few steps first, he can't escape Old Pig's grasp anyway!"
……
Meanwhile, Lin Fei fled the inn and ran wildly towards the outskirts of the city.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but when facing a Dharma Aspect Realm expert, all his plans seemed so powerless.
Faced with overwhelming power, no amount of trickery or schemes will be of any use.
Now, only one word remained in Lin Fei's mind—escape, escape as far as possible. He needed to escape to Xijiang County as soon as possible; once there, even the Twelve Fiends of Zi-Wu would absolutely not dare to act recklessly.
