Chapter 2969 - Assassination Operation (1/2)
When he heard fairy Hao Yue, Yun Wufeng finally responded. His eyes suddenly snapped open, except they were dim and gloomy.
It was as if the world no longer had anything he cared about anymore. All that was rooted in his heart was deep pain.
“What did you say? You’re little Yue’er’s friend? Do you have any evidence to prove that? And how is little Yue’er doing now?” Only when he mentioned little Yue’er did Yun Wufeng’s gloomy eyes light up slightly. His voice seemed rather urgent too.
Jian Chen obviously understood Yun Wufeng was referring to fairy Hao Yue.
“Fairy Hao Yue’s current situation is unknown. It’s rumored that she has already met a bad end. Senior, I can’t prove my identity to you right now, but that’s not important. I better take you away from here first,” said Jian Chen. He had killed a great elder of the Moon God Hall. Who knew how long this matter could remain a secret for, so he needed to leave as soon as possible, just in case delays led to unexpected accidents.
“Little Yue’er has met a bad end too?” Yun Wufeng murmured. His eyes were filled with pain. When he saw that Jian Chen was about to cut through the Nether Ghost Vine, he immediately stopped him. “Don’t touch this Nether Ghost Vine. If you touch it, all the Chaotic Primes present in the Moon God Hall right now will immediately know. Back then when little Yue’er tried to save me, she was exposed exactly because she touched the vine.”
“How regrettable. I actually failed to sense that they had already tampered with the Nether Ghost Vine back then, or how would I have doomed little Yue’er?” Yun Wufeng’s face was filled with sorrow. He blamed himself for that.
“Don’t you need a secret tablet to enter this place? Only Chaotic Prime great elders possess the secret tablets. How did fairy Hao Yue enter here?” Jian Chen was curious.
“Senior, fairy Hao Yue has a special identity. She’s the daughter of the previous Moon God, so she’s more familiar with the Moon God Hall than anyone else. Apart from a few special, hidden forbidden grounds, there’s nowhere she can’t go in the Moon God Hall.” This time, it was the sixth elder’s soul that relieved Jian Chen of his queries.
Jian Chen came to a realisation. Then he said to Yun Wufeng, “Senior, hold on for a moment. I’ll be right back.” With that, Jian Chen left abruptly.
“What are you trying to do?” Yun Wufeng clearly sensed a sharp light flash through Jian Chen’s eyes. As if he had realised something, he immediately became alarmed inside.
Jian Chen stopped and said, “If I want to save you, I obviously have to cut through the Nether Ghost Vine first, but with the unique characteristics of the vine, I won’t be able to cut through it in a short amount of time. They’ve tampered with the vine too, so the experts of the Moon God Hall will know as soon as I touch it.”
Cold light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. He looked back at Yun Wufeng. “Compared to waiting for the Chaotic Primes to rush over when they’re prepared, wouldn’t I be better off using the element of surprise to kill them while they’re unaware?”
“They’re the mainstay of the Moon God Hall. Sigh, so be it, so be it.” Yun Wufeng found this rather difficult to accept, but he soon recalled something and let out a long sigh. He said nothing more.
After leaving the Burial Moon Cavern, Jian Chen maintained his disguise as the sixth elder and made his way towards the central zone of the Moon God Hall.
“There are a total of seven Chaotic Primes in the Moon God Hall, a late Chaotic Prime, three mid Chaotic Primes, and three early Chaotic Primes. The strongest among them all left the Ice Pole Plane many years ago, while among the three mid Chaotic Primes, one of them is Yun Wufeng and the other two aren’t present either. As a result, the three Chaotic Primes that watch the Moon God Hall normally are all early Chaotic Primes.”
“Apart from Hong Moqing, who is the weakest, a First Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, the other two are Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes!”
“They should both be in possession of a method of emergency contact. Once something significant happens, they can use that to contact the Chaotic Primes outside. As a result, when I kill the two of them this time, I need to do it like how I killed Hong Moqing. I need to use the Profound Sword Qi while their guard has not been raised. Only then can I stop them from contacting anyone, and it won’t cause any disturbances either.” Jian Chen planned along the way and arrived where one of the great elders cultivated very soon.
The great elders of the Moon God Hall were not all gathered together. Every single one of them occupied a rather large space as their own cultivation grounds. There was a very large distance between them, and they never interacted with one another normally.
As a result, this was instead convenient for Jian Chen to take them out one by one.
“Sixth elder, master is currently refining a cauldron of low quality God Tier pills. He’s specially instructed that no one is to disturb him.”
