Chapter 222: Leaked Information! Chu Yunxiao Vomits Blood in Anger! The Hidden Assassination Pavilion!
[3: Yesterday, you patrolled the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty’s Imperial Palace and obtained intelligence that the treasure vault of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty is located in the northwest corner of the palace. It contains millions of spirit stones and countless elixirs. Among them, the ten-thousand-year spiritual essence can increase the probability of forming a Golden Core by 30%. However, the vault is protected by a great formation that cannot be broken by anyone below the Yuan Ying stage.]
[4: Yesterday, you touched the left hand of the Barbarian God and obtained intelligence that the Barbarians will extract the Barbarian God’s heart for worship during the Barbarian God Festival in three months.]
[5: You are being hunted by the Tianchu and Daqi Immortal Dynasties. Intelligence indicates that Qi Feng, who lost your trail in the Luoxia Mountain Range, plans to go to the Tianji God Sect to request an investigation into your whereabouts.]
[6: Yesterday, you brushed past Qi Changping on the street and obtained intelligence that Qi Changping, a Yuan Ying expert from the Daqi Immortal Dynasty, is having an affair with the concubine of Chu Yunlin, a Yuan Ying expert from the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty. Qi Changping learned that the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty is preparing to annihilate the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile and plans to fish in troubled waters.]
[7: Yesterday, you thought of Bai Fenghuan and obtained intelligence that Bai Fenghuan returned to the Fengyao Holy Land and was established as a saintess. She has now reached the foundation establishment stage.]
[8: Yesterday, you brushed past Wang Shiliang, an assassin from the Hidden Assassination Pavilion, and obtained intelligence that Chen Yi, having been depressed all day, followed his senior brother’s advice and placed a bounty on you at the Hidden Assassination Pavilion. The bounty is 1,000 low-grade spirit stones.]
[9: Yesterday, you were targeted by a bounty of 1,000 low-grade spirit stones from the Hidden Assassination Pavilion. Your background is about to be discovered. In three months, all clues regarding Baixiao Shenjun and the mysterious person will be linked together, pointing to you.]
[10: Yesterday, you touched the cloth bag sewn by Qin Xuemei for you and obtained intelligence that Qin Xuemei received an order from her master and had to stop searching for you and return to the Wanhua Immortal Sect. The specific matter is unknown.]
Qin Wang pondered over these pieces of information.
It was evident that the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty and the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile would inevitably have a battle, and both sides would suffer heavy losses.
This was perfect for him, providing an opportunity to fish in troubled waters. If he was lucky, he might even loot the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty’s treasure vault.
The problem was that he wasn’t the only one who knew this; Qi Changping of the Daqi Immortal Dynasty also knew.
As such, the Daqi Immortal Dynasty might intervene.
The ultimate winner might end up being the Daqi Immortal Dynasty.
Wouldn’t that just benefit the Daqi Immortal Dynasty for nothing?
Absolutely not!
What Qin Wang hadn’t expected was that Bai Fenghuan was actually the saintess of Fengyao Holy Land. That was good news.
Thinking of Bai Fenghuan’s various adorable traits in the past, Qin Wang couldn’t help but smile.
But!
Chen Yi hadn’t given up his evil intentions and had placed a bounty of 1,000 low-grade spirit stones at the Hidden Assassination Pavilion.
Although 1,000 low-grade spirit stones were not much to Qin Wang now, the problem was that this could reveal his background. Could it involve his sister, Qin Xuemei?
Thinking of this, Qin Wang’s eyes showed a cold killing intent.
No, Chen Yi couldn’t be allowed to continue causing trouble.
Qin Wang called Jiang Haotian over.
“Master, you called for me?”
Jiang Haotian stood respectfully before Qin Wang.
“Do you know Chen Yi?”
Qin Wang asked calmly, revealing no emotion.
“I know. Chen Yi is the personal disciple of Wan Jianyi, the head of the Taiyi Sword Sect. He is extremely talented and is being groomed as the next head.”
Jiang Haotian was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit puzzled, but he honestly relayed all the information he knew.
“If I asked you to kill him, could you do it?”
Qin Wang asked directly.
Jiang Haotian was shocked.
Assassinate Chen Yi?
Was he crazy?
Chen Yi was the personal disciple of Wan Jianyi, the head of the Taiyi Sword Sect, and the most favored one at that.
Assassinating Jiang Haotian would be akin to throwing away his life, wouldn’t it?
Thud!
Jiang Haotian knelt immediately.
“Master, please spare me. I am loyal and have no ill intentions. Please don’t abandon me.”
Jiang Haotian pleaded.
“No matter how talented Chen Yi is, he’s only just entered the foundation establishment stage. You can’t kill him?”
Qin Wang raised an eyebrow, looking deeply at Jiang Haotian.
“If it’s one-on-one, I can kill Chen Yi. But the problem is, Chen Yi is guarded by his senior brother, Lu Xingyang, a Golden Core cultivator. I’m no match for him.”
Jiang Haotian explained helplessly.
How could a small foundation establishment cultivator like him be a match for Lu Xingyang, a Golden Core cultivator?
Unless Qin Wang intervened personally, but…
Thinking of this, Jiang Haotian instinctively looked at Qin Wang.
Making eye contact with Qin Wang, Jiang Haotian quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look further.
Qin Wang frowned.
A Golden Core cultivator was formidable.
With his current strength, he would need to use all his trump cards to kill Lu Xingyang.
The risk was high.
It seemed this matter required careful planning.
In three months... Chen Yi had to be killed and the bounty at the Hidden Assassination Pavilion revoked. Otherwise, if his background were discovered, it would implicate Qin Xuemei.
That would be disastrous.
For now, the primary target remained the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty.
Qin Wang thought for a moment and then called Zhang Fujiang and the others.
Following Qin Wang’s instructions, numerous servant puppets began spreading information about the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile.
...
Tianchu Immortal Dynasty
Imperial Palace
Chu Yunxiao looked at the information in the jade slip and instantly became furious.
Bang!
Chu Yunxiao crushed the jade slip in his hand.
“Bring Chu Yunlin here! That useless fool can’t even control his own woman! Worthless!”
Chu Yunxiao roared.
“Yes, Ancestor.”
Chu Wuyuan secretly sighed in relief.
He was glad that Chu Yunxiao didn’t direct his anger at him; otherwise, it would have been an undeserved disaster.
He hadn’t expected Chu Yunlin’s concubine to leak the information, causing the entire Southern Region to know about it.
The siege of the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile was bound to have many unforeseen changes.
Soon, Chu Yunlin arrived before Chu Yunxiao.
“Big Brother, you called for me?”
Chu Yunlin looked at Chu Yunxiao in confusion.
He was also a Yuan Ying expert of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty and Chu Yunxiao’s peer, but his cultivation was weaker, only at the mid-Yuan Ying stage.
Of their generation, only he and Chu Yunxiao remained.
So Chu Yunlin usually lived as a carefree powerhouse, indulging in pleasures since he had no hope of transformation and didn’t need to manage the dynasty’s affairs.
Chu Yunxiao slapped out a hand.
Bang!
The palm formed from spiritual energy hit Chu Yunlin’s chest instantly.
Pfft!
Chu Yunlin spat out blood and was thrown backward.
“Big Brother, why… why did you do this?”
Chu Yunlin looked at Chu Yunxiao in disbelief.
“Useless! Look at the mess you’ve made!”
Chu Yunxiao roared.
Chu Wuyuan quickly handed another jade slip to Chu Yunlin.
Seeing it, Chu Yunlin turned pale with fright.
He hadn’t expected that his casual post-coital chat had leaked such a secret.
He broke into a cold sweat.
“Big Brother, what should we do?”
Chu Yunlin asked Chu Yunxiao anxiously.
No matter what, he would follow Chu Yunxiao’s arrangements.
“Given the situation, send invitations to the major immortal dynasties and sects, inviting them to join in the extermination of the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile.”
Chu Yunxiao sighed.
The Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile was undoubtedly a treasure trove. Successfully killing it would be a blessing in disguise for the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty.
But now, they had to invite other forces to participate.
Otherwise, surrounded by wolves, even if they killed the Blood Crocodile, other forces would reap the benefits.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunxiao felt like vomiting blood.
