Chapter 845 Assassination (1/2)

Tianyuan Utopia, Little Yuan Island.

Little Yuan Island was one of the main islands in the Tianyuan Region. It covered a large area and had an extremely high population. In the middle of the island was a huge teleportation boundary. It was glowing brightly, and every flash of light indicated that someone had entered Tianyuan Utopia.

In a tall building not far from the teleportation boundary, Xi Guang was sitting expressionlessly with Lu Xiao.

“I have arranged people to be ready at the teleportation boundary. The moment Zhou Yuan appears, we can capture and take him away at the quickest speed possible. It’s best to keep this matter quiet and not cause too great of a scene.” Xi Guang stared intently at the revolving teleportation boundary with his silver eyes.

He added, “The moment I take him away from here, I’m going to kill him to avoid any further trouble.

“If someone wants somebody to be held accountable for this, you can push the matter to my head. Since Zhou Yuan is such a threat to the Fire Pavilion, even if I get rid of him, the sect master will agree with my actions.

“You just need to say that Zhou Yuan murdered his fellow colleagues, and I at most would be reprimanded by the sect master.

“No one within the entire Tianyuan Region will want to make things difficult for the Heavenly Spirit Sect just because of the death of the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master.”

Lu Xiao nodded. “If you, hall master Xi Guang, can get rid of that boy, it will be a great contribution to the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and the sect master will surely be happy. After all, that kid had disrupted his plan last time, and he was furious about it.”

“If you weren’t so useless, would there have been a need for me to come here and do such a shameless thing?” Xi Guang coldly grunted.

Given his status and ident.i.ty, for him to lower himself to deal with the pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion, it would surely lead to rumours even if he succeeded. Despite that, he didn’t care. After all, he had to avenge Fang Ao.

Lu Xiao didn’t dare to argue. He had to be respectful. After all, he was indeed the mastermind in the plot to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhou Yuan, and Fang Ao was the one killed. If not for the fact that Xi Guang was giving face to Lu Xiao’s master, Xi Guang would not let him off lightly.

“By the way, are you sure everyone’s dead?” Xi Guang suddenly asked.

If Fang Ao and the others were all confirmed dead, and there wasn’t anyone in Zhou Yuan’s hands, they could fabricate the facts as they wished. No matter what, they couldn’t admit that Fang Ao and the others had secretly plotted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhou Yuan.

“From what I heard from Zhu Lian, they should have all died. There were five people who followed Fang Ao to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhou Yuan, and among them, two were disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. I have confirmed that their spirit jade tablets have both cracked, and I believe the other three have also suffered the same ending.

“Also, if they are alive, Zhou Yuan will certainly bring them back. At that time we can find a chance to kill them ourselves before they open their mouths. No matter how smart Zhou Yuan might be, there is no way he would know we would be waiting for him outside the teleportation boundary.”

Xi Guang nodded, a sinister, cold light flickering in his eyes.

As Xi Guang stopped speaking, Lu Xiao also fell silent, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of the teleportation boundary.

Time pa.s.sed gradually, but neither of them was impatient. They waited quietly, like wolves waiting for prey.

The teleportation boundary flashed brightly in front of Zhou Yuan’s eyes, and the majestic and pure Genesis Qi of the Tianyuan Region poured in from their surroundings.

“We’re finally going back,” Ye Bingling’s relieved voice sounded in his ears.

Zhou Yuan nodded with a smile. He glanced at Ye Bingling, Shang Xiaoling and the others who were beside him, then lifted his foot and stepped into the teleportation boundary. “Let’s return to the Wind Pavilion first.”

Ye Bingling, Shang Xiaoling and the others nodded and followed after him.

Around the teleportation boundary, people were coming and going in an endless stream.

Two figures quietly blended into the stream of people and rapidly approached Zhou Yuan. Their footwork techniques were extremely mysterious, and with just a few steps they were already a few feet from Zhou Yuan. Genesis Qi pulsed in the palm of their hands, aiming for Zhou Yuan’s body.

Their attacks were so bizarre that they didn’t even cause the slightest fluctuation of Genesis Qi between heaven and earth.

But when they neared him, the Spirit between Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows suddenly quivered, and in the next instant, a sharp and hoa.r.s.e voice rang out.

”Be careful, pavilion master!”

A pet.i.te figure flashed out from Zhou Yuan’s side, thrusting her palm towards the mysterious figures.

The pet.i.te figure was Shang Xiaoling!

Although she didn’t have powerful Spirit perception like Zhou Yuan, she was used to drifting between life and death and possessed a beast-like intuition towards danger. Therefore, she charged out instinctively the moment Zhou Yuan detected something with his Spirit.
