Chapter 81: How Difficult It Is

Ultimately, the Liu family’s chief steward couldn’t resist asking a question,
“Young Master, that Gu Yang’s history is unknown, what if he also has a Divine Power behind him .
Liu Zhe responded indifferently, “Then he needs to be eliminated even more. Once enmity has developed, we absolutely cannot be tied down. We must annihilate him with lei-like decisiveness. Let my mentor deal with any influence seeking revenge from behind him.”
“Otherwise, when he progresses to Second Grade, and even First Rank, eliminating him will become much harder. The support from the forces behind him will grow even stronger.”
Liu Zhe had learned this firsthand under the tutelage of the Sword Saint of the East Sea Gate.
He had shown exceptional talents when he was still under Third Rank, yet he hadn’t held a high position in the sect and had not even met his mentor.
Talent is just talent until it is actualized; until then, it is insignificant.”
Back then, if he had been accidentally killed, his mentor would not have waged war for his sake, let alone taken personal action for his revenge.”
Nevertheless, his rise was like a bamboo shoot after a rainstorm, reaching Third Rank, then Second Grade. His position thus improved, and he received personal guidance from his mentor, becoming the disciple given the most attention in the sect.
Now, he has officially been named the successor by his mentor.
Even if he offended someone of Divine Power, his mentor would shield him.
Gu Yang’s master might think similarly, even though he is only at Third Rank. If he were killed, even if the force behind him were angered, they would have to consider whether it’s worth catching a tiger by the tail with the East Sea
Sword Saint for the sake of a deceased disciple.”
However, in the future, if this man achieves Second Grade or even First Rank and gains the attention of the forces behind him, eliminating him then will not be so easy.”
Just as he was contemplating this, a soft voice came from outside the carriage, “Junior Brother, the guy you’ve provoked, isn’t that simple.”
“Second Sister?”
Hearing the voice, Liu Zhe became more respectful, asking, “Why are you here?”
The soft voice responded, “If the old man hadn’t asked me to check on you, I wouldn’t have bothered.”
The ‘old man’ she was referring to was naturally their mentor.”
Liu Zhe did not react to her disrespectful address.
Even in the presence of her mentor, this Second Sister would call him ‘old man’, and he would tolerate it.”
It just showed how special her status was in his eyes.
At the same time, the Second Sister was incredibly powerful, so he dared not show any disrespect towards her.”
He asked, “Sister, do you know Gu Yang’s background?”
The Second Sister was primarily responsible for external intelligence. Though the members of their East Sea Gate rarely left their territory, they still needed to know what was happening in the outside world. They couldn’t play deaf and blind.”
“No. But I’ve heard about another matter. You probably got the news from the Lin Family, that’s how you knew where these people were hiding, right?”
The soft voice outside said, “Did the Lin Family tell you that a few days ago, they sent a Second Grade to arrest this man?” Liu Zhe shook his head and said, “No.”
“Can you guess the result?”
“Please tell me, Sister.”
The voice outside became a little more severe, and said,”That day, by coincidence, Chu Xiyue and Wu Xingyun were also in Pingjun City and arrived at Gu Yang’s residence at the same time as the Second Grade from the Lin Family. Subsequently, this man’s Blade Intent locked onto the three of them, and with one slash, two of the three Second Grades were seriously injured and one was killed.”
Hearing this, Liu Zhe’s eyes narrowed.
He naturally knew Chu Xiyue and Wu Xingyun, especially Chu Xiyue, who had once challenged the eighth-placed Chen Heng and it was said that their battle had ended in a draw.”
This woman’s strength was definitely not weak.”
