Chapter 556: Chapter 99 Sword Demon — The Dragon Slaying Strategy_4

Xiao Jie was momentarily taken aback. Beiming State—Luoxue Valley? What a coincidence?

Isn’t that the target the Azure Dragon Association is out to kill?

His thoughts raced; this seemed like a great opportunity for him to exact revenge, but did the guild leader know that the Azure Dragon Association was also targeting this dragon? If not, wouldn’t it lead to...

Xiao Jie instantly felt conflicted. He knew that the best choice would be to feign ignorance, muddy the waters along with the guild when the time came, and benefit from the chaos—perhaps even take revenge in the process.

With the Dragon Soaring Knights as the support, even the Azure Dragon Association was not that big of a deal; leveraging their power was indeed the best choice.

However, after a brief hesitation, he sighed.

No, this must be revealed, as many lives could potentially be lost if things go badly.

In all honesty, Long Xingtianxia had been very good to him, offering full benefits, a good amount of Demon Cores, and when he was afflicted by Demon Soul Entanglement, they immediately sent a high-level Mage to help dispel it.

Moreover, he requested freedom of movement without guild restrictions but still enjoyed the treatment of core personnel, which Long Xingtianxia had also agreed to.

Rationally and emotionally, he should not withhold this intelligence.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Jie began to type.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: As far as I know, the Azure Dragon Association is also planning to target this dragon.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: What! Is that so! How did you come to know of this?

Hidden Moon Following Wind: I have an enemy in the Azure Dragon Association, who sent assassins after me. I killed the assassin, who, before dying to save their own life, revealed this to me.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: Hold on, I need to inform the guild leader.

A moment later—

Long Xingtianxia: Brother Sui Feng, explain everything that happened in detail. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but this is a serious matter, and I must fully understand if the source of the intelligence is reliable.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Let’s talk on the phone; texting is too cumbersome.

Long Xingtianxia: Alright.

A few moments later, the two connected over a call.

"Speak, Brother Sui Feng, don’t leave anything out."

The voice of Long Xingtianxia was quite solemn, showing his serious regard for this intelligence.

Xiao Jie then recounted the events in detail.

"So, this is how the intelligence came about. I can’t say it’s 100% correct, but given the female assassin’s circumstances at the time, it should be true; otherwise, she wouldn’t have known about the dragon hidden in Luoxue Valley. Guild leader, how did you come by this information? It feels too coincidental that both our guild and the Azure Dragon Association received this intelligence."

Long Xingtianxia didn’t hide anything, "This intelligence I bought from an informant. You’re right, it’s indeed too coincidental. Either the informant sold the information to multiple buyers, or—someone is plotting against both of our guilds. I need to investigate this carefully."

"But speaking of which, why did you choose to reveal this? Since you have an enemy in the Azure Dragon Association, wouldn’t it be better to just profit silently and take your revenge while the two guilds are in conflict?"

"Heh, guild leader, aren’t you underestimating me a bit?" Xiao Jie didn’t explain further, just slightly taunting Long Xingtianxia.

A man of principles does what he must and avoids undue extremes. Although eager for revenge, he wasn’t desperate enough to resort to any means.

Apparently sensing Xiao Jie’s discontent and integrity, Long Xingtianxia sighed softly, "Sorry, the pressure of being a guild leader is high; it’s inevitable to sometimes think the worst of people, my fault."

"No worries, I understand, guild leader. If it were me, I might think the same. But this is a personal vendetta between Liu Qiang and me, I won’t drag both guilds into a bloody battle just to seek revenge—so, guild leader, what are your plans?"

"I need to gather the higher-ups for a detailed discussion tomorrow. Brother Sui Feng, come to the meeting too."

Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment but did not refuse.

Such a meeting undoubtedly belonged to an internal high-level meeting, and the invitation was a sign of trust and recognition of his position.

"I will definitely be there."

"Tomorrow morning at nine, I will pull you into the meeting room."
