Jian Wushuang had already killed 10 of his 11 targets .
The last one was the strongest, so Jian Wushuang deliberately left this one till last .
“Is that Hu Hu’s castle?” Jian Wushuang stood with his arms crossed, overlooking the castle built from Amethyst in front of him .
This large castle was famous in the surrounding territory .
Many of the warriors in the surrounding territory knew that this was the residence of a Divine Realm expert of great strength, Hu Hu .
Hu Hu had lived in the castle for many years and his fame had spread far and wide .
He was very clever, he knew that this territory was ruled by Ancient Sect and he would be targeted and killed by Ancient Sect if he committed a crime here . Therefore, although he had been overbearing to the weak, he had never violated the rules of Ancient Sect .
Over the years, he has lived peacefully and had never come into conflict with the Ancient Sect .

Not long ago, however, Ancient Sect discovered that one thousand years ago, Hu Hu cooperated with another expert and killed an Ancient Sect disciple for a treasure .
No one witnessed how they killed the Ancient Sect disciple and they had covered it up well; thus, Ancient Sect had never connected him with the disciple’s death for the past thousand years .
However, the expert who cooperated with Hu Hu was caught by the Ancient Sect and he revealed everything to save his life .
“On the surface, he’s respectful toward Ancient Sect and never violates Ancient Sect’s rules, but he actually dares to kill our disciple . This Divine Realm expert is really smart,” Jian Wushuang smiled coldly .
Among his 11 targets, 10 had committed severe crimes within the territory ruled by Ancient Sect . Ancient Sect set them as targets because it didn’t want too many conflicts within its territory . But the case with Hu Hu was different .
What Hu Hu had done was unforgivable, he dared to kill an Ancient Sect disciple; therefore, he must die!
“Although Hu Hu is the most important one, it will not be easy to kill him,” Jian Wushuang thought .
Based on the information he received, although Hu Hu was only an advanced Divine Realm expert, he was definitely one of great strength . He was much stronger than Bing Yi and other advanced Divine Realm experts killed by Jian Wushuang . In addition, as he had lived longer, he would certainly have more skills or trump cards to save his life .

“Anyway, I will go say hello to him first . I heard that Hu Hu enjoys a leisurely lifestyle,” Jian Wushuang smiled, heading directly toward the castle .
In the innermost area of the huge Amethyst castle, there was a grand hall . A middle-aged man with bare feet and loose robe which showed his abdominal muscles was lying comfortably on a crystal bed . Two beautiful maids were serving him, and many beautiful maids were dancing in the center of the hall .
Except for these maids, he was the only one in the whole hall . With a pleasant look on his ruddy face, he was enjoying a drink .
This man was Hu Hu . As Jian Wushuang said, he did lead a life of leisure . He had become an advanced Divine Realm expert long ago, so he had become a local tyrant in the surrounding territory . No one dared to challenge him . He only needed to be cautious and not to violate Ancient Sect’s rules .
Although he secretly broke some of the rules, he had covered them up so well that no one had ever accused him of anything .
While Hu Hu was enjoying himself, a servant outside the hall rushed in, knelt down and spoke respectfully, “My Lord, a man with an Ancient Sect inner disciple token came and asked to see you . ”
“Ancient Sect inner disciple?” Hu Hu was a little surprised and his face immediately turned pale . He waved his hand to indicate the maids in the hall to leave .
“I have always respected Ancient Sect and never violated any of its rules . In addition, I seldom have contact with people in Ancient Sect . Why would an Ancient Sect disciple come to visit me?” Hu Hu frowned and thought, “Has Ancient Sect discovered what I did?”

He had committed far more than one crime in secret, but he had gotten away with it so far .
“Did the Ancient Sect disciple give his name?” Hu Hu asked .
“No,” replied the servant, then he shook his head as he said, “I can tell that he’s just a Skyscraping Realm expert . ”
“Skyscraping Realm?” Hu Hu was a little surprised and then relaxed, “It seems that he’s not coming to bother me, as a Skyscraping Realm expert is not qualified to do so . However, he is still an inner disciple of Ancient Sect, I’d better not to offend him . ”
“Go, ask him to come in,” Hu Hu said .
“Yes,” said the servant and he left immediately .
Hu Hu stood up and straightened his robe .
Before long the servant led Jian Wushuang to the hall .
“You can leave now,” Hu Hu told the servant, waving a hand . The servant bowed and excused himself .
Only Hu Hu and Jian Wushuang stood in the hall . Hu Hu looked at Jian Wushuang and noticed his aura indicating that he was indeed a Skyscraping Realm expert .
“Haha, little brother, how should I address you? What can I do for you?” Hu Hu said quite enthusiastically .
“My name is Jian Wushuang,” Jian Wushuang answered indifferently, “I happened to pass by the surrounding territory and wanted to buy some treasures . Unfortunately, I’ve run out of Divine Gems, so I came to exchange something for Divine Gems with you . ”
“Exchange Divine Gems?” Hu Hu was surprised but he did not doubt his words .
It was common for Warriors to exchange treasures for Divine Gems while on their adventures . However, the treasures were often so valuable or rare that it was not worth exchanging them in the stores, so the Warriors would exchange with experts who had sufficient Divine Gems .
“Jian Wushuang is an inner disciple of Ancient Sect, so he doesn’t worry about what I may do to him . ”
Hu Hu smiled slightly and then asked, “My friend, what treasure do you want to exchange for Divine Gems?”
“This one,” Jian Wushuang produced a black gem .
