774 This is The Trap! (2/2)

Even God could not have predicted this assault!

All six people knew that it was absolutely safe. Ximen Huanyu had even discreetly informed them that there was no form of a threat here.

Yet, such a shocking twist had happened so abruptly!

The trio's ambush could hardly be avoided even when one was utterly focused; what was more, this was totally unexpected!

Pang, pang, pang!

Three pillars of blood shot up almost simultaneously towards the air. They were Jiao Buqi, Meng Wuliang, and Kong Wubo, who had not managed to react in time. In an instant, their heads and bodies were already separated, their lives lost.

Even in death, their expressions were still of ecstasy from being conferred earlier – a look of excitement.

Ping Shishui, Hai Wujiang and the School of Kismet State's leader, Ximen Huanyu, were quick to react. They sprung up to accept the challenge, but the abruptness of the attack had already dealt a bone-deep wound on each of them.

Blood gushed out like spring water.

”Who is it?”

Ximen Huanyu was devastated. How could he still not know that he and his members had stepped foot into a terribly vicious trap?

What the Emperor of Yutang had intended by announcing the dictum was not at all to confer the School of Kismet State. It was an intentional scheme to reduce the members' caution to the lowest point and then exterminate them all!

This aspect itself was not the most surprising ploy. After all, the School of Kismet State had a long history since establishment and compared to the assortment of conspiracies and stratagems they had seen, this was child's play, utterly insignificant!

What truly astounded Ximen Huanyu was the three people who struck in this trap! Not only were their cultivation base proficient, but they were also on par with him. Two from the trio even slightly exceeded his own powers. It was an absurd, hardly believable, reality.

Yutang had no other masters – Ximen Huanyu was confident that he had already made clear of this fact. He had even proven his finding on Yutang's so-called unrivaled expert, Yun Xiaoyao, yesterday. This was the very reason the School of Kismet State even acted so overbearingly these past few days and entered the palace, full of themselves, today.

Ximen Huanyu was thoroughly confident that even if Yutang refused to be threatened and set up a trap, they could react immediately and counter it. The palace of Yutang was a piece of cake to him; there was no sense of danger contained within it.

After the meeting yesterday, Ximen Huanyu was even more relieved. After all, if Yutang had another masterly expert, he would have attacked long ago when Emperor of Yutang was pressured to such an extent. It was simply impossible for the expert to stay by the sidelines!

Therefore, while King Yun Xiaoyao, Yutang's best martial expert, was perhaps one of the most skilled masters in this world, he was not in the School of Kismet State's regard. If Yutang's higher authorities had only such capabilities, whatever trap or device arranged was nothing worth mentioning.

It was why he dared come forth without a single care. What was more, he had even sent out probes using the school's arcane abilities.

How had these three men hidden?

His mind was a chaotic mess. There was only one question in his mind – 'How is this possible? How – how were these three people able to hide from my scrying?'
