Chapter 555: Chapter 380: Assassination_2

The old eunuch had learned from Evans Graham’s experience and was extremely cautious with money. The Spirit Jade he had collected in the past two days, after being counted, was divided into three parts and handed over to three Fifth Great Domain cultivators for safekeeping.

This time, he left the palace with eight young eunuchs, twenty imperial bodyguards, and three Imperial Cultivators from the Fifth Great Domain. Considering the old eunuch’s nature, such an important task would usually require the protection of at least one Sixth Great Realm cultivator. However, even the Sixth Great Realm cultivators within the Imperial Palace were rare, and those who were strong enough had their own pride and deemed it beneath them to follow the old eunuch on such errands.

For example, Colby Dominic, even though he was devoted to pleasing the Emperor, would probably find a reason to decline working on this task – it was simply too humiliating.

It wasn’t appropriate for the Emperor to force a Sixth Great Realm cultivator to accompany him either, but by sending three cultivators from the Fifth Great Domain, it showed that the Emperor was offering tremendous support for this mission.

The old eunuch had it all worked out: even if someone would dare come to rob him again, the money would not be with him, and it would be almost impossible to rob the three Fifth Great Domain cultivators all at once.

Even if they managed to rob one or two, the loss would not be total.

Moreover, he had other arrangements in place. Not only was he ambitious about successfully completing this task, but he also hoped to apprehend the thieves who had robbed Evans Graham twice before and retrieve the lost Spirit Jade!

Late at night, the old eunuch was still assigning tasks for the next day to his young eunuchs. They were all hurrying to collect the Spirit Jade as quickly as possible, earnestly working to complete this mission.

The cultivators of the Fifth Great Realm had gone to rest already. Ten imperial bodyguards were on duty, protecting the place where they held their secret meeting. These bodyguards were ranked between the Third Great Boundary and the Fourth Great Realm.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the street outside Amanda Academy.

...

Master Lane had just visited Adonis Dunn, who was sick in bed yet still concerned about state affairs. They had discussed and made decisions on several matters, which would now have to be executed by Master Lane himself.

His carriage drove past the street, surrounded by a large number of Horizon Bureau military officers. When Hassan’s night patrol guards saw the emblem on the carriage, they respectfully moved to the side, allowing passage and not daring to interrogate him.

When the carriage arrived at the mansion, Master Lane got off. A waiting cavalry officer quickly approached and whispered a report: "Sir, we just received news that two Fifth Great Realm cultivators from the Chambers Clan and Harris Clan, both closely related to Lord Porter, have disappeared!"

Master Lane’s heart skipped a beat; he turned around and got back into the carriage: "Go see Owen Bertram, quickly!"

The carriage immediately turned around and rushed towards Owen Bertram’s residence. Master Lane felt uneasy. He had asked Owen Bertram to assassinate Lord Porter because he knew Owen had the ability to do it.

With Lord Porter escorted by three Fifth Great Domain cultivators, Owen could infiltrate, kill Lord Porter and smoothly escape. After all, guarding against attacks is inherently more passive, and Owen could easily handle an average Fifth Great Domain cultivator.

The three Fifth Great Domain cultivators would not be able to protect Lord Porter in the face of a sudden attack. However, it turned out that this cunning Lord Porter had secretly summoned two more Fifth Great Domain cultivators, which meant he was aware of the potential assassination attempt and had set a trap! Those three Fifth Great Domain cultivators would also be fully alert now.

No matter how skilled Owen Bertram was, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed while facing five prepared Fifth Great Domain cultivators.

Master Lane muttered to himself, "I just spoke to the kid yesterday; he shouldn’t have acted so quickly..." Master Lane felt a sense of regret that they could not carry out the plan, causing him great frustration.

When they arrived at the courtyard where Owen lived, Master Lane entered without waiting to be announced, only to find the room empty.

Master Lane’s face changed, and he rushed towards Amanda Academy!

...

Just after finishing arranging tasks for the next day, the young eunuchs knelt in front of the old eunuch: "Ancestral Patriarch, you’ve worked so hard; please go rest now. We will definitely complete the task tomorrow..."

As they were speaking, a small whirlpool suddenly appeared in the air in front of them. The whirlpool spun rapidly and grew to the size of a wooden basin. A flying sword leaped out of it and, with a swish, decapitated Lord Porter!

It happened cleanly and swiftly.

With a thud, Lord Porter’s head fell to the ground. The eunuchs only reacted then, letting out screams like pigs being slaughtered. The flying sword had returned to the whirlpool, which disappeared with it.

Five powerful auras rose simultaneously around Amanda Academy, as loud voices shouted, "Good assassin, you’ve finally come!"

Supported by the five Fifth Great Domain cultivators, a massive and sturdy sealing array was formed within a 300-foot radius surrounding the academy. Even a Sixth Great Realm cultivator would have difficulty escaping from it quickly.

Owen Bertram paused for a moment, surprised that there were five Dawn Gathering cultivators. The old eunuch was quite cunning. The man with the booming voice was the first to attack, his enormous scale weight-shaped magical instrument smashing down from midair. As it fell, it grew larger, becoming the size of a mountain, accompanied by the rumbling sound of wind and thunder.

Bang!

The magical instrument heavily pounded the ground, but it missed. The assassin had vanished!

Confused, the cultivators of the Fifth Great Domain sensed that at the moment the scale weight-shaped magical instrument hit the ground, the trapped assassin disappeared. What was going on?
