HPDBC Chapter 219 Assassination
Chapter 219 Assassination
Alkaid, Xu Quexing, and the Prince from the Supreme Mystery Dynasty were conducting their communication in an orderly fashion.
Tang Fenghua then came to Alkaid's side to provide close protection.
As Alkaid's personal bodyguard, he was always closely following Alkaid; being inseparable from him at this moment was within expectations.
As for Wang Feng...
He, along with the experts of the Sea Fortification Courtyard, began the slaughter of the sixteen Great Cultivators lying in ambush outside.
With Alkaid enforcing an information lockdown, these sixteen individuals failed to send out any messages before their demise.
It was then that the Prince of the Supreme Mystery Dynasty suddenly said, "Chief Alkaid, although I know this request may seem presumptuous, I wonder... could we speak privately?"
He apologetically glanced at Xu Quexing as he spoke, "This is Nine Cauldrons Sect's territory, please rest assured, Vice Hall Master Xu, we will show utmost respect."
Upon hearing this, Xu Quexing shook his head, "That's not appropriate."
Naturally, Alkaid also responded conventionally and did not agree.
Chu Guang was not surprised but continued to plead, "If Chief Alkaid is willing to talk to me privately, I could offer an extra one percent discount on this order of three hundred Lifebound Flying Swords."
Alkaid and Xu Quexing exchanged glances.
The market price for three hundred Purple Cloud model 13 export-type Flying Swords was as high as twenty-four million Spirit Stones.
Even one percent was two hundred forty thousand.
Two hundred forty thousand Spirit Stones' discount just for a private conversation?
Alkaid knew what was happening and after pondering, decided to cooperate.
"Prince Chu Guang, such generosity, I see no reason to refuse."
He gestured invitingly with his hands.
Xu Quexing opened his mouth as if to say something, but Divine Sense messages from Alkaid had already reached him: "I know what they intend to do, Vice Hall Master Xu, there will be some chaos here shortly, take care and protect yourself."
Xu Quexing was startled, then as if realizing something, his pupils tightened, "Master Alkaid..."
"Rest assured, I have already discussed this matter with the Sect Master and others."
Alkaid responded.
Only then did Xu Quexing's nervousness slightly ease, but he still remained on full alert.
Soon, the two had moved to another room.
Prince Chu Guang immediately took out a small magic artifact for recording formations, locking down the information of the area.
"What does Prince Chu Guang wish to say?"
Alkaid inquired.
"Alkaid Hall Master, you are in danger now,"
Chu Guang, with a solemn face, said, "On my way here, a Great Cultivator from the Great Sun Sword Sect intercepted me and infiltrated my delegation. Their aim is targeted at you, intending to take you to the Great Sun Sword Sect to serve them. For this purpose, they have utilized a large number of undercover agents who had been long lurking within your Nine Cauldrons Sect. I estimate that as soon as the Great Sun Sword Sect makes a move, those undercover agents will emerge to assist them."
These words slightly surprised Alkaid.
However, he quickly "perceived" something and, laughing, said, "Is what Prince Chu Guang says truly the case? This is no joking matter."
"There's no more time for jokes. The Great Sun Sword Sect's infiltration into our Supreme Mystery Dynasty, including your Nine Cauldrons Sect, is extremely deep! I sought this private conversation with you because I genuinely do not know who to trust, and who might be undercover from the Great Sun Sword Sect! So, the best course of action is for us to leave this area immediately at the fastest speed and go into hiding..."
After speaking, Chu Guang quickly added, "I know you do not trust me, but you can choose the location you think is the safest to hide, and during this process, I am willing to stay by your side as a hostage..."
Alkaid said calmly.
"Swoosh!"
Almost simultaneously with the eruption of this agent disguised as "Chu Guang," Tang Fenghua, who was outside the palace already, took action boldly. A sword light swept through the void with incredible speed, striking the Third Rank Great Sword Cultivator instantly.
"Humming!"
There was hardly any sound or roaring.
The head of this Third Rank Sword Cultivator was directly crushed into powder.
During this interval, another Great Sword Cultivator who had been following at "Chu Guang's" side also erupted, trying to stop Tang Fenghua.
But...
This almost certainly fatal mission, ultimately, they were reluctant to let a Great Cultivator who had established his Dao Foundation execute it.
Using the advantage of the Flying Sword, Tang Fenghua easily managed to fight two at once, killing the disguised Great Cultivator after "Chu Guang" and continuing his attack on the other.
"Why is there nothing left at all?"
Alkaid looked at the assassin in front of him who had left no corpse, somewhat helplessly.
Fortunately...
It wasn't a big problem.
As a Dharma Phase Cultivator, his immense Power of Divine Sense instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
He directly simulated the life signals of two people.
One was the prince disguised as "Chu Guang".
The other was himself.
The two life signals swept through the void and could even issue commands to nine sword cultivators in the distance: "Stop them."
With Tang Fenghua, who had been well-briefed, cooperating perfectly, flying after "Alkaid" on his sword, creating the illusion that Alkaid was captured by "Chu Guang" and then chased with full effort.
During this time, the sixteen appearing Great Sword Cultivators naturally spared no effort in intercepting.
However, the guard force by Alkaid's side was extremely powerful, and it was only a matter of time before the Sea Fortification Courtyard, alerted by the wind, completely killed this group of nine sword cultivators, as well as the sixteen sword cultivators further afield.
It was at this moment that the Great Sun Sword Sect's Heavenly Palace Hall received the news of "Alkaid" being captured.
On this, the side of the Great Sun Sword Sect's Heavenly Palace Hall was not surprised.
Perhaps, for them, when Alkaid was alone with "Chu Guang," his capture was already destined.
After all, it was widely known that a Primordial Spirit Cultivator's melee weakness was significant.
Although Alkaid also practiced the Martial Dao system...
How high could his Martial Dao Realm have reached in such a short time?
In front of a Third Rank Great Sword Cultivator, would it be of any use?
What they needed to do next was to have the many sword cultivators who had been lying in ambush fight to the death, buying time for the Vajra Warship to approach the city below.
Orders were passed one after another.
The previously communication-blocked Vajra Heavenly Patrol Warship started at full speed, rushing towards the direction of the Nine Heavens Domain.
Meanwhile, the Shenfeng Academy, Shenmu Academy, and Shenshan Academy also changed from scouting and probing on the periphery to heading straight for the Nine Cauldrons Sect's homeland.
A great war was on the verge of breaking out.
