Chapter 680: Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Seven

"Symbolist Daoist friend, what has happened to Old Man Tian?"

It was Taishiran.

In the small territory of Huizhou County city, the commotion here was naturally seen by Taishiran and the rotund Zhou with their party.

However, the two did not lose their composure and show themselves directly, but instead used a secret transmission to probe the situation first.

Upon hearing Taishiran’s secret transmission, the middle-aged beautiful woman momentarily suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and recounted the events that had just transpired to him succinctly.

Taishiran’s decision was almost instantaneous, simple yet cold-blooded:

"You go ahead and rescue Jing Xuelan first. Don’t bother with Old Man Tian; let him massacre the city to force Xu Changtian out.

"At this point, we can only sacrifice him as the scapegoat. With his cultivation level, it would take just the time of brewing a cup of tea to reduce Huizhou County to flat ground. After we kill Xu Changtian, we will join forces to take him down."

"....."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of hesitation flashed in the middle-aged beautiful woman’s eyes.

The power behind Old Man Tian represented by Fenglan Sect was not insignificant. Taking such action was tantamount to discarding Fenglan Sect as a throwaway piece.

However, she quickly chose to follow Taishiran’s advice.

Given the current situation, it was the only course of action, the only way to minimize the loss to Jiatiange.

Taking a deep look at the old man slaughtering civilians in the sky like a devil, the middle-aged beautiful woman’s figure flashed, and she rushed straight toward the location of Xuanying Attic below.....

...

...

...

The madness of the withered old man turned Huizhou County into a hell on earth in an instant.

On the chaotic streets where people were screaming and running for their lives, a carriage stood quietly parked by the roadside.

Through the carriage window, Xu Yuan felt his thoughts were in disarray.

The current situation had caught him off guard, and the plans in his heart were disrupted once again by the turn of events.

However, his habitual rationality allowed him to calm down swiftly, and he began planning his next moves with haste in his mind.

Firstly, he had heard the old man’s thunderous voice just now.

The man had come to assassinate him, and he was looking for Jing Xuelan.

With just this, Xu Yuan could already confirm the identity of the black-dressed woman.

She was the Great Elder of the hidden Luo Clan, one of the beauties who presided over the burial village in Cangyuan Chronicles, one of Qin Mo’s helpers, and also one of the mothers-in-law—Luo Bingli.

At this thought, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant in his arms.

This Ms. Luo, did she have any connection to this sworn sister of his?

The assassination was initiated by Jiatiange, and thousands of years ago, the Luo surname was one of the seven clans of Jiatiange.

As his thoughts passed, Xu Yuan temporarily pushed these considerations aside.

What mattered now was not that issue. What was important was that Luo Bingli was Jing Xuelan’s mother in Cangyuan Chronicles.

It seemed right then that his decision to return to Xuanying Attic to look for Jing Xuelan was correct.

As long as he could detain Jing Xuelan, Luo Bingli would inevitably hold back.

Just as he, Xu Yuan, would do for Xu Changge and his father and uncles.

With this in mind, Xu Yuan rubbed his forehead vigorously and glanced again at the crazed old man in the sky.

Although he did not know the process, the old man should have been infected by the terrifying epidemic carried by Jing Xuelan, thanks to Lou Ji’s underhanded tactics. However, judging by his behavior, he had not completely lost his sanity.

After all, if he had been fully controlled by the malicious epidemic, he would not be so intent on killing him now; he would have sought pleasure elsewhere.

But judging from his words "the four of us," there was at least a trio of assassins lying in ambush in the shadows.....

"Third Young Master."

In the midst of his thoughts, Qian Xi’s voice suddenly entered the carriage, laced with concern, "At this rate, His Highness will soon be in danger."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s heart tightened slightly.

Right now, the only support he had was Qian Xi, who had been borrowed from Li Junqing. If she were to run back to Li Junqing, he could only hope that his sister in the sky would lend a hand, or that his uncle would arrive swiftly....

After all, the folks at Jiatiange were taking this world-ending calamity too seriously.

Four Mortal Transcendents and one Semi-Saint were dispatched to assassinate him, a mere Soul Condensation.

Xu Changge probably hasn’t received such treatment.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Xu Yuan’s heart rate slightly accelerated as he spoke out loud,

"I know, Qian Xi, how many people’s Energy Mechanisms can you sense from the Strange Beast Division?"

"Two, both Mortal Transcendents," Qian Xi answered crisply, "And... it seems they have started fighting each other."

Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed,

"Include Great Grandmaster Energy Mechanisms as well, are you sure you can only sense two people’s Energy Mechanisms?"

Qian Xi did not understand the meaning behind Xu Yuan’s question, but she still replied in a low voice,

"Answering the Third Young Master, I confirm that there are only two Mortal Transcendents over there."

Upon hearing this, a resolve steeled in Xu Yuan’s heart, and he took a deep breath, clenching his teeth as he said,

"You must take me to the Strange Beast Division in Huizhou County immediately!"

"What?" Qian Xi’s voice stalled.

"I said, take me to the Strange Beast Division!"

"...."

Carrying hesitation, Qian Xi asked, "Third Young Master, may I inquire about the reason?"

Xu Yuan’s answer was very straightforward,

"There is someone there who can keep that Semi-Saint, who is holding back my sister, from committing fully for fear of endangering her hostage, giving us a chance to resolve this deadly situation!"

"Are you... sure?"

"In such a life-and-death situation, there is no absolute certainty! Only by doing this do we have a chance to survive, and the same goes for your Highness."

"...."

Qian Xi fell silent, having naturally heard the words of the old man earlier.

Apart from that black-dressed Semi-Saint woman and the old man, there were three other terrifying presences of the same level hiding in the dark in Huizhou County; this level of assassination had already exceeded her imagination.

After a moment of silence,

Qian Xi’s slender figure surprisingly appeared inside the carriage, without any further words, she calmly extended her delicate hands to hook around the man’s waist.

If her Highness had ordered her to obey this Third Young Master, then obey she would.

As the thought passed, their figures instantly vanished from the carriage, leaving only the curtains, lifted by the wind, gently fluttering...

...

...

...

Under the full force of the Mortal Transcendents, a quarter of the vast Huizhou County town had already been destroyed in a short time.

The area around the Strange Beast Division in the southern part of the city was even more devastated, with several miles around turned into a sea of fire, the stench of scorched flesh pervasive.

Avoiding the crazed barrage of Three Suns True Flames from the old man, when the middle-aged beauty got back above the Xuanying Attic, her eyes showed a trace of astonishment as she looked down.

From her high vantage point, she saw two women and a man stepping out from inside the attic onto the vast deck behind the Xuanying.

The man, in his brocade robes, was handsome, with eyes flickering with red light, staring coldly at the sky.

Next to him stood a woman in red, carrying another fainting woman in her arms.

Strangely enough,

the middle-aged beauty could see the two, but when scanned with Energy Mechanisms, there was no one there.

Standing on the deck,

Xu Yuan watched the sudden unwelcome guest arrive with calm eyes, but his heart was racing.

Inside the Illusionary Realm, for the sake of survival, he had often gambled with his life alongside Tianyan. He hadn’t expected that after returning to reality, as the Crown Prince of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he would still need to risk his life.

After a moment’s eye contact,

his voice, amplified by Origin Qi, echoed through the ravaged Huizhou County,

"Black Dress, I think we can have a talk now."
