Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Chapter 252: Brother Xu (2/2)

“So that’s it…”

Chen Xing suddenly exclaimed.

“So, Senior Xu…”

“When do you plan to make a move against Lin Jing?”

“I’ll need to arrange things in advance…”

Senior Xu frowned in thought for a while before saying:

“I remember you mentioned last time that the Disciple Martial Arts Competition was postponed by three months, right?”

Chen Xing replied:

“That’s right.”

“And what about Han Jing? What has he been up to recently?” Senior Xu asked, addressing Chen Xing.

“Han Jing has been in closed-door cultivation recently.”

“You can rest assured, Senior Xu, with Han Jing’s current progress, even when the competition starts, he definitely won’t be able to break through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.”

“He definitely won’t be a match for you…”

“In this competition, aside from Senior Yan, no one will pose a threat to you. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely rank in the top three this time.”

As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Senior Xu immediately retorted:

“Top three?”

“No!”

“That Yan with the cultivation technique that I counter is certainly not my rival, and I have never considered him a threat.”

“What I aim for is the first place.”

Chen Xing hastily complimented:

“Then I’ll take this opportunity to congratulate you in advance, Senior Xu.”

Senior Xu shook his head and said:

“It’s still early. Although Han Jing’s cultivation isn’t as advanced as mine, his strength is not to be underestimated. There are still uncertainties in this matter.”

“Let’s not rush. Let Lin Jing enjoy himself a little longer.”

“Right before the Martial Arts Competition begins, I’ll use Lin Jing’s head to present Han Jing with a grand gift.”

“As long as he is greatly disturbed by this…”

Senior Xu stopped speaking and laughed, but his laughter carried a sinister undertone.

“Han Jing, what can you use to contend with me…”

Afterward, Senior Xu packed away the secret box in front of him.

He then said to Chen Xing:

“Alright, you can go now.”

“Remember to keep an eye on Han Jing’s every move for me. Should there be any unusual action, come and inform me immediately.”

“As long as you get this done for me, I will not let you down.”

“Once I become a Core Disciple, I will use my connections to help you become one as well.”

Chen Xing instantly became fervent and then said:

“Many thanks, Senior Xu!”

Afterward, Chen Xing exited the cave dwelling.

After Chen Xing had left, Senior Xu in the cave dwelling looked towards the doorway and scoffed.

“Hmph…!”

“You, worthy?”

……

Four hours later, Chen Xing appeared inside another cave dwelling.

And inside this cave dwelling was none other than Han Jing.

Seeing Chen Xing enter, Han Jing rose to greet him.

“Chen Xing, what’s the situation?”

“That Xu is indeed planning to make a move against Junior Brother Lin.”

“Moreover, Senior Han, you were right, that secret box is indeed in Xu’s hands.”

“He’s planning to lure Junior Brother Lin out of Immortal City in your name and then strike…”

After hearing this, Han Jing’s brow furrowed.

Then Chen Xing continued to add:

“And he plans to use Junior Brother Lin’s death to throw you into turmoil, affecting your performance.”

After listening to Chen Xing’s account, Han Jing furrowed his brows even more, feeling a surge of anger rising in his heart.

Seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly inquired:

“Senior Han, what should we do next?”

“Do we need to act preemptively?”

After pondering for a moment, Han Jing calmed down and then said:

“No…”

“Acting preemptively carries some risks. We’ll turn his plan against him. You should follow through with what he told you to do…”

“However, it’s best if we don’t bother Lin Jing with this matter.”
