Chapter 1538: Chapter 1539: Gathering from All Directions

Mount Qilong, at the mountainside, a man dressed in black with a masked face sat among the crowd, evidently the one who had gathered them here to assassinate Su Chengyu.

He looked at the structure of the Taiqing Myriad Formation, which countless Death Soldiers had pushed against with their lives, feeling puzzled in his heart.

He really couldn’t understand how Su Chengyu, who came from a reclusive background, managed to obtain such a cunning Formation.

If it weren’t for the complexity of this Formation, they wouldn’t need to spend so many resources to fully understand it.

"This Formation has eight main defensive positions, each held by an Extreme Artifact as the Array Eye, and beneath each Extreme Artifact, there are between three to five Divine Artifacts supporting as Array Feet. To break this Formation, all eight positions must act in unison and complement each other. To completely shatter this Formation, all eight positions must be breached; otherwise, unless a Land Immortal arrives, killing Su Chengyu, who’s inside the courtyard, remains an impossible dream."

"We must break all eight positions? Can’t I break through from one position alone?"

The one asking the question was a burly man; the masked man knew the other came from the Aristocratic Xiao Tribe of the Ancient Clan, although he was not entirely aware of the other’s specific Realm.

"May I ask if you have reached the Martial Way Peak?"

The Martial Way Peak represents the ultimate goal for all Martial Artists, the Peak Martial Emperor, and a step beyond that is to become a Martial God, truly deserving to stand between heaven and earth.

"I am one Realm short."

"Eighth Grade, right?" The man in black chuckled lightly then looked at the other and said, "I know you are very confident in your abilities, but history has proven that those who underestimated Su Cheng have never met a good end."

The Martial Emperor of the Xiao Tribe clearly felt unconvinced and challenged him, "Is that kid even a match for me?"

"Can’t he run if he can’t win?"

A question left the Martial Emperor of the Xiao Tribe stunned while the man in black continued asking, "Knowing he can’t win, doesn’t Su Cheng know the wisdom in ’keeping the green hills safe, no worries about firewood’?"

"You can run away from the monk, but not from the temple; sooner or later, he will still return!"

The man in black frowned, not understanding if these people from Ancient Clans were all problematic in their heads; this simple issue, how could he not understand it?

"Ye Qingci is not here, Long Xuan is not here, right now those Land Immortals in Capital City have chosen to be bystanders, but you guys must not really think that Su Chengyu is merely a disposable piece, right? There are many who want him dead, and equally many who want him to survive! Otherwise, why would I go through such a great ordeal to bring you all together here at this moment."

"Then why doesn’t he run away now?"

A person from the crowd asked this question toward the man in black.

"Because within Capital City, this is currently the safest place."

Leaving early would make no sense; under the condition of being isolated and unsupported, wherever Su Chengyu runs, the man in black is confident that he can track him down.

Su Chengyu clearly understood this, which is why he chose to hole up in his own courtyard.

The man in black’s gaze swept across the crowd: "Everyone gathered here disregarding backgrounds and pasts, with the same purpose. I won’t inquire why you want Su Chengyu dead, and you need not doubt other’s capabilities or the information provided.

The only thing I can tell you all is that this rare opportunity will only come once. The higher-ups will not again and again give us such a chance to act against him, and I can only assure this one operation, any of the Land Immortals up and down the Capital City will absolutely not intervene. As long as you don’t touch the bottom line..."

As his final words dropped, the man in black’s gaze turned to the corner where there stood a man more heavily wrapped than himself, carrying a sword under his hat.

During the time spent investigating Su Chengyu’s residence, this sword-carrying, hat-wearing man definitely wasn’t the one who exerted the most effort, nor the one who retracted the most information.

But whenever they faced bottlenecks, he was always able to bring out something crucial to solve everyone’s problems.

Those issues that even the Ancient Clans and the powerful aristocratic families of the Capital City couldn’t resolve seemed not to be problems at all in this person’s hands.

Those intelligence and messages simply couldn’t be obtained through ordinary underground channels.

Therefore, even without conducting further investigations on the sword-bearing man, he was clear that there were only two possibilities for his identity.

Either from the Demonic Path or from the Nether Clan.

In other words, he was almost one hundred percent certain that the other party came from the Bam Alliance of the Bei Luo Empire.

But he did not intend to delve deeper into all this. As long as the other party did not use the methods of the Nether Clan or others publicly, he would turn a blind eye to everything.

Currently, in order to smoothly ensure Su Chengyu’s death, he could set everything else aside for the time being.

After stating this most important point, the gaze of the man in black returned to the Martial Emperor of the Xiao Tribe who had spoken first: "Since brother is so confident in his own strength, could you possibly take on the most difficult southern defensive position of the formation?"

"I can."

The Martial Emperor of the Xiao Tribe spoke calmly, without even a hint of emotional fluctuation.

Although he did not have much respect for the man in front of him who hadn’t even reached the rank of Martial Emperor, he had to admit that it was indeed thanks to him that such a group of people could gather here.

Moreover, it was he who brought the good news that there was no risk in taking action against Su Chengyu now. The situation of besieging Mount Qilong was essentially fostered by this man in black.

The man in black then pointed out six names separately, assigning the responsibility of breaking the formation at six different positions, then looked at the few others remaining in the room who were significantly weaker and softly said.

"As for the last defensive position of the formation, let us remaining few break through it together."

Among this group was the sword-bearing man. He glanced at the man in black but said nothing, merely nodding silently in agreement.

After the man in black nodded in satisfaction, he glanced at the sky and then softly said: "Act at the hour of Zi, do not wait if late."

After dropping this sentence, the man in black disappeared from the spot.

And after he disappeared, a person next to the Martial Emperor of the Xiao Tribe scoffed: "Blowing his own horn, when it all comes down to it, isn’t he just a middleman?"

The Martial Emperor of the Xiao Tribe glanced at the person beside him, who was only two realms lower than himself, and said: "Although he is only a Martial Emperor, his true strength may not be much weaker than yours."

"Xiao... Brother, aren’t your words a bit too much? I’ve seen him in action, and there was nothing remarkable about it."​

Xiao Yuanfeng sneered and said: "It’s merely a tactic to hide his skills. Haven’t you done similar things? It’s just that this fellow does it better than others. But to escape the eyes of this old man, he is still too naïve."

After pondering for a while, the Martial Emperor of the Yu Clan, who was acquainted with Xiao Yuanfeng, then softly said: "Besides him, is there also someone else hiding their skills?"

"Of course, but it’s better you don’t ask too much about that person, it won’t benefit you. See you at the hour of Zi."

Having said this, Xiao Yuanfeng also left the place and entered Mount Qilong, quietly waiting for the hour of Zi to launch the general attack on Qilong Court.
