Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty Four – Danger

“It seems that Xuan Kong Temple is determined to exterminate Xiao Mo Ge . However, they really think highly of Xiao Mo Ge!” Xue Dong said with a laugh.

Xue Dong had thick brows and large eyes. His appearance was fine and he had a bloodthirsty presence from battling for long periods of time. He had come to find Lin Qian immediately after he returned from the front lines.

While Lin Qian was the shixiong, Xue Dong was older. The two had a close relationship.

Withdrawing his consciousness from the jade scroll, Lin Qian was slightly distracted. In order to guarantee their victory this time, Xuan Kong Temple had sent out two of their fanxu xiuzhe to kill Xiao Mo Ge. Xuan Kong Temple’s action was well concealed but Kun Lun’s spy was placed high enough in their ranks that they were able to pass this on.

“What?” Xue Dong sensitively detected Lin Qian’s state.

Lin Qian came back and said with a smile, “This Xiao Mo Ge is really a extraordinary person. It is a pity he will die.”

“Oh.” Xue Dong was slightly shocked. “I’m curious to know more about this person that you think so highly of.”

“I fought against him when I went to the mo territories this time. He seems slightly unfathomable.” Lin Qian lightly described.

Xue Dong changed expression. He knew how strong Lin Qian was. When Lin Qian said something like this, it meant that their battle had ended in a stalemate.

Lin Qian’s brow creased. “This person’s origins are very strange. He seems to have both yao and mo blood. Both his yao arts and mo skills are strong and he also cultivates shen power.”

“Shen power?” Xue Dong’s eyes widened and his face was shocked.

“Yes, I only comprehended shen power because I fought against him this time.” Lin Qian thought of something and frown again. “He most likely has a complete inheritance. It would not be good if that lands in the hands of Xuan Kong Temple!”

Kun Lun wasn’t the only one that was studying shen power. Any sect that had history had ambitions about this. But in terms of who spent the most effort, it was undoubtedly the four great sects.

Xue Dong’s eyes narrowed. “Yes! We cannot have the shen power inheritance land in Xuan Kong Temple’s hand. Why don’t we send a few people as well?”

“That will not be appropriate!” Lin Qian shook his head and his expression was grave. “Xuan Kong Temple has a legitimate reason to fight. No one can nitpick about their excuse of executing Bie Han. If we send someone, then we will be publicly dissolving our relationship with Xuan Kong Temple.”

Xue Dong also frowned. Lin Qian was right. They could not directly send people for this matter.

“We can still notify Xiao Mo Ge and have him hide.” Lin Qian felt the matter was slightly troublesome. He had never thought that Xuan Kong Temple would send two fanxu xiuzhe for Xiao Mo Ge.

Fanxu experts were strategic resources. If it was not a matter of life and death to the sect, the sect would not use them.

It seemed that Xuan Kong Temple also understood the importance of this battle for them.

———

“It is really troublesome this time.” Zuo Mo’s expression was very ugly. “Xuan Kong Temple really has a high expression of ge. Tsk tsk, fanxu, and two of them!”

The other commanders had terrible expressions.

Zuo Mo received a letter today that said Xuan Kong Temple had sent out two fanxu experts to assassinate him. Xuan Kong Temple clearly was wary of Zuo Mo after he killed Marshal Yu so they were even willing to use such dishonorable tactics to completely eliminate this threat.

While no one knew who the sender was but everyone understood that this letter was probably true.

Two fanxu. This completely exposed the magnitude of Xuan Kong Temple’s great power. To kill a person by sending two fanxu, only the four greats would have the resources to do this.

This was power.

Even with someone notifying him, Zuo Mo and the others had no solutions.

“How about we return to Cloud Sea Jie.” Gongsun Cha looked at Zuo Mo with worry in his eyes. Two fanxu would have the ability to cut through their battalion. If they were working with battalions, their power would be even greater.

Zuo Mo grimaced. “Not enough time! I’m afraid that these two fanxu old thieving baldies are not far from us.”

Bie Han was silent. He hadn’t thought that the sect would actually send two fanxu to kill Zuo Mo. He had been with the sect for many years and knew that experts on fanxu level were the ultimate power for the sect.

Had Xuan Kong Temple felt that they were a threat to the existence of the temple?

He felt slightly conflicted. He desired to fight against Xuan Kong Temple but he knew that the two fanxu were a big trouble.

Zuo Mo’s gaze suddenly landed on Bie Han. “How many fanxu does Xuan Kong Temple have?”

Bie Han stilled but quickly reacted. “Five, one left to travel thirty years ago and has not returned. One is still in death seclusion. One was on a mission by the sect leader ten years ago and has not return. There are only these two left.”

Zuo Mo’s expression eased and he said, “In other words, they can only send these two fanxu.”

Thinking, Zuo Mo asked, “If I flee, will these two fanxu meet up with Jiang Zhe?”

Bie Han shook his head. “No.”

Zuo Mo was very surprised at the certainty in Bie Han’s answer. “Why? If they meet up with Jiang Zhe, wouldn’t their chance of victory increase?”

“Fanxu can also die,” Bie Han said coolly.

Zuo Mo immediately understood. Yes, while a fanxu was powerful, they could still die. If a powerful battalion did not care about losses, they might be able to kill a fanxu xiuzhe. Xuan Kong Temple did not lack battalions, and would not risk their fanxu experts on the battlefield.

So the mission this time was an assassination.

Zuo Mo also understood why Xuan Kong Temple would send two fanxu. He had killed Marshal Yu. In the eyes of Xuan Kong Temple, he was someone that could threaten fanxu.

Xuan Kong temple could not afford to lose any fanxu.

Zuo Mo’s eyes lit up. He suddenly found that there might be a chance.

Xuan Kong Temple would not know that someone would have warned him about their assassination mission.

After thinking for a long time, Zuo Mo raised his head and confidence came back to his face. “I have an idea.”
