“Good news? What is it?” Everyone cast puzzled looks at Chen Feng. They did not understand what Chen Feng meant. According to Chen Feng's earlier discovery, the power within this outpost was very strong, far stronger compared to them. Forget a straight-up fight, even a sneak attack would not succeed. Besides, a.s.sa.s.sins were better at stealth and sneak attacks than others.
“He he. Although there are a lot of a.s.sa.s.sins in this outpost, there are no Human Immortals here,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.
“No Human Immortals!” Their eyes quickly lit up.
“This is indeed good news.”
The power of a Human Immortal was simply too strong. Even though they had managed to kill off a Human Immortal earlier, they were still feeling a lingering sense of fear towards the Human Immortal. A Human Immortal a.s.sa.s.sin was an existence capable of killing all of them, under normal circ.u.mstances, anyways.
“Let's discuss what to do.” Chen Feng held the Blood Mustering Bead in his hand. If the Blood Mustering Bead was not broken, he was confident that he could attack the a.s.sa.s.sins from afar. However, it was damaged. Not only would his move fail to kill them, it would alarm them instead.
“We do need a good plan.” Wen Shaoxiu nodded his head.
They grew silent and began pondering. For a long time, no one spoke up. It was clear that, although these fellows were good at fighting and killing, coming up with schemes was not their forte.
“Why don't we go with the same strategy as last time? We'll set up magic arrays around them and use the magic arrays to attack them.” Li s.h.i.+long was the first to speak up.
“The magic arrays are a necessity. However, even after using the magic arrays, we will likely be incapable of killing them all. Moreover, we will likely end up with some casualties on our side as well. The power of this outpost has exceeded the power of the previous outpost.”
“It will be very hard for us to execute sneak attacks against them. They are all the elites amongst a.s.sa.s.sins. They are much better than us in that regards.”
“If we are to attack, we'll have to catch them by surprise. Additionally, we must kill them while they are still in a state of surprise. If our first wave of attacks fails and they counter attack, we will be in deep trouble.”
“How about using poison? Even if we cannot poison them to death, this move can still take away their combat power.”
“Using poison is indeed a good idea. However, we don't have any good poison on us. More importantly, the average poison is mostly ineffective against cultivators at our level. It will be easily discovered and we'll end up alarming them instead.”
“I suggest setting up even more magic arrays. What if the eight of us set up the Eight Trigrams Sword Array? We'll utilize the sword array to kill them one by one.”
“Utilizing arrays is a good idea, but there is an issue. Our sect's Eight Trigrams Sword Array can display an astonis.h.i.+ng level of power. With a high level of mastery, it will not be an issue for us to kill these a.s.sa.s.sins by using the sword array. However, we are incapable of doing that. Li s.h.i.+long may have no issues in setting it up, but the rest of us? It requires a high level of cooperation and tacit understanding. In order to accomplish that, we need time. Unfortunately, we happen to be lacking time.”
“Yes, the longer we wait, the more likely the a.s.sa.s.sins here will find out about us.”
“Why don't we return to the sect and find a few more of our fellow brothers and sisters for this?”
“No. Doing that will create too much of a stir. Besides, if news of this gets leaked, we'll lose face as well.”
“The way I see it, we should just attack. Kill a few of the a.s.sa.s.sins and just retreat.”
“No. We only have two choices. First, we don't attack at all. Second, we attack and wipe them all out.”
Although the cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction were usually valiant, resolute and audacious, they weren't arrogantly foolish. They would not march to their deaths. Wen Shaoxiu and the others continued to think of a plan.
However, after discussing the issue for a long time, they were still incapable of coming up with a good plan. Chen Feng felt frustrated and he empowered the Blood Mustering Bead to spy on the a.s.sa.s.sins again.
“Eh, something is happening!” Chen Feng suddenly said.
“Something happened? What is it? Did they discover us already?” They were all surprised.
“Wu Huai's team of three has entered this city. Additionally, they are heading towards Killer Palace's outpost,” Chen Feng said solemnly.
“What? Wu Huai's team is here as well? Are they connected to Killer Palace? Right, I was wondering why we would end up meeting those three earlier. In other words, the three of them were heading to the outpost that we wiped out.”
“Brother Chen, try to get a better look at the situation. It'll be even better if we can figure out what Wu Huai's team is doing here.”
“Not a problem. I'll check it out,” Chen Feng said. The Blood Mustering Bead in his hand spun slowly and Chen Feng's divine sense enveloped the courtyard again.
It was not just their actions, Chen Feng could even hear their voices and breaths with clarity.
Every move made by Wu Huai and the other two was completely under Chen Feng's scrutinizing senses.
“Wu Huai seems to be very familiar with the a.s.sa.s.sins. They are talking happily with each other. Clearly, this is not their first meeting,” Chen Feng said.
“I remember now. I believe Wu Huai's cousin is an a.s.sa.s.sin in Killer Palace. Additionally, he is also a Human Immortal a.s.sa.s.sin. Wu Huai's family is very strong. That is the reason why Wu Huai can be so arrogant all the time,” Wen Shaoxiu suddenly said.
“Hurry, listen to what they are saying,” Li s.h.i.+long interjected.
“They are talking about some irrelevant matters. They made an agreement to go explore a danger zone to find something known as the Thousand Gold Vine. By the way, the a.s.sa.s.sin that Wu Huai is talking to is called Wu Liang. He is also from the same family as Wu Huai,” Chen Feng informed them of everything he heard.
“Wu Liang? I have never heard of him. However, Wu Huai's family can already be considered a first-rate family. Additionally, the Wu Family has a close connection with Killer Palace. It is said that one of the founding members of Killer Palace is a member of the Wu Family. The Wu Family would usually send the elites of their junior generation to train with Killer Palace. Some would directly become a.s.sa.s.sins of Killer Palace,” Wen Shaoxiu said.
“The way I see it, nothing good can come from Wu Huai's appearance here. Who knows? He might tell them what we did earlier,” Situ Nan said.
