Chapter 768: On The Eve of The Battle

Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze

In the dense forest, Mo Awu and Shui Gui were like ghosts in the dark night as they flashed lightning fast toward Tang Xiu’s position. In just a short while, the duo arrived in front of Tang Xiu.

“Oh?” Shui Gui suddenly frowned. When he saw Zhenlei Duomo standing beside Tang Xiu, a thick killing intent suddenly erupted from him as he released his flying sword in an instant.

Tang Xiu’s expression slightly changed and appeared in front of Zhenlei Duomo like lightning and also released his flying sword to ward off Shui Gui’s. As he paced back, he angrily shouted, “STOP IT, SHUI GUI!”

Shui Gui did not realize the meaning of Zhenlei Duomo standing next to Tang Xiu a moment ago. As he saw his own Boss blocking his attack, his expression suddenly changed and instantly took back his flying sword. Yet, his seething killing intent was still locked on Zhenlei Duomo.

“What’s going on with you?” asked Tang Xiu with a frown.

“Heh, turns out to be Shui Gui, eh?” Zhenlei Duomo derided. “Little did I expect for your strength to greatly improve after our last encounter seven-plus years ago. What’s wrong? Do you still want to avenge your Brother, Shui She?”

Whoosh…

Other than Mo Awu, the other nine men instantly released their flying swords and glared at Zhenlei Duomo with faces full of killing intent. This made Zhenlei Duomo’s face slightly pale, and she instantly took half a step back.

Tang Xiu’s brows tightened even more, and then asked in a deep tone, “Answer me, Shui Gui!”

As loyal as Shui Gui was to Tang Xiu, he hastily lowered his head upon sensing Tang Xiu’s anger in his tone, and then replied, “I once had a brother. He was called Shui She and also a core member of the Everlasting Feast Hall… or he used to be. About seven-plus years ago, we carried out a mission abroad and encountered this woman. She didn’t change much, so I can be 100% sure that this woman is really her! She killed my Brother and severely injured me, causing me to be stranded on the cliff for several days. I almost died in a foreign country back then. I’ve done everything I can to find any leads about her over the years, but I never expected her to appear here.”

Tang Xiu turned to Zhenlei Duomo and asked, “You killed his Brother? Why?”

“We were in different camps and worked for different employers,” said Zhenlei Duomo bluntly. “You and your brother resorted to all sorts of tricks and schemes and killed my employer in order to steal intelligence. I did kill Shui She, but it would’ve been me who died instead if I didn’t kill him. All that happened was caused by yourselves, while I was only fighting back.”

“This…”

Although Shui Gui knew that her argument was sound and reasonable, the one who died was, after all, his blood brother. Enmity and hatred had been buried deep inside his heart for so many years, and he just could not let it go like that.

Tang Xiu had a headache, for he did not expect to encounter such a situation. Nonetheless, he was biased towards Zhenlei’s explanation, because like she said, each worked for a different employer in the past, and thus it was inevitable that they would prey on each other, to kill or be killed.

Still… there was hatred! How should he deal with it?

Tang Xiu took a deep breath, as he waved his hand and said, “Shui Gui, the grudge between the both you shall be solved after the problems on Mist Source Island have been dealt with! I’ll tell you ahead of time, Zhenlei has something in common with you. She was also nurtured and taught by Yan’er in her childhood just like you. After I solve the problems here, take his matter back to Jingmen Island and by that time, you should ask Yan’er as for how to solve the grievances between the two of you!”

Having said that, his eyes swept over the rest and plainly said, “Take back your weapons. If you are thirsty for killing, kill those foreign forces first!”

Jin Shi and the others simultaneously took back their flying swords, while Shui Gui hesitated before storing his flying sword back into his body. He did not dare to go against Tang Xiu’s order but secretly decided that he would definitely make Zhenlei Duomo pay the price after the Mist Source Island’s problems were solved.

Tang Xiu then looked at Mo Awu and asked, “So, what information did you get over there?”

Mo Awu took out a map and respectfully said, “The Stygian Club has just moved their encampment. We have investigated and found that their people are currently setting up a very stray array. We already marked its location, it’s the only path to enter the current Stygian Club’s camp.”

Tang Xiu received the map and observed it for some time. Then he nodded and said, “The Stygian Club can become the third largest organization overseas, meaning that they absolutely have some unknown cards at hand. Our purpose this time is very simple. We’ll make them devour each other, with the only caution that we must guard against being the Pyramid’s members. Alright, let’s go to the mountain and watch the tigers fight with each other.”

Mixed Summit City, at the northern suburbs.

As Tang Xiu came with Mo Awu and the others quietly, they took a detour via another direction to the Stygian Club’s encampment northwest of the mountain. After looking around for a good location, Tang Xiu immediately set up a Concealment Array quietly.

“Let’s camp here and wait for those ambitious schemers to cut one another’s throats.”

“Boss, should we push the billows and waves in the dark?” Asked Mo Awu.

“Of course, adding fuel to the flame is a must, but I’ll take on this job myself while you all will be staying here. Awu, do you still have vampire body parts?”

Mo Awu took out battered wings from his interspatial ring and said, “These ones are what I have left.”

“That will be enough,” Tang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. “Alright. You all stay here.”

With that said, he seemed to realize something as his eyes swept over from Shui Gui to Zhenlei Duomo and coldly said, “Do keep my words in mind. You two will put down your grievances for the time being, and everything will be solved after we all return to Jingmen Island. I will severely punish anyone who dares to start a personal fight now!”

“Understood!”
