Chapter 666: The Present from Afar

“An Lin, don’t forget that Laden is the son of Emperor Yi Deng.”

Xu Xiaolan cautioned as her brows knitted with concern.

She knew that An Lin was capable of screwing Laden over, but Laden’s father was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, which was an extremely frightening fact.

“There’s no way around it. My identity is going to be revealed to him sooner or later, so even if I don’t strike him down, he’s going to find me and strike me down. Thus, I might as well take the initiative to eliminate him as a threat first.” An Lin brushed aside Xu Xiaolan’s concerns as a firm expression appeared on his face.

“What do we do then? Laden has many life-saving trump cards, and even Emperor Tian Huang was unable to kill him in a short period of time. What can we do to achieve something that even Emperor Tian Huang couldn’t?”

“Don’t forget that Laden is situated in the central region of the Dark Marshlands. You have to make sure to kill him in a short period of time but still ensure your own survival before reinforcements arrive. That’s going to be exceedingly difficult to accomplish, so I hope you can take extra caution and think things through thoroughly before proceeding.” Sword Immortal Ling Xiao knew just how perilous this mission would be, and it was exactly because of this that he didn’t want An Lin to take the risk.

His concerns were quite valid. Even though Laden had been severely wounded, he was still a super mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage. If he unleashed all his might to struggle for his life, it would still be very difficult to kill him.

“How about… we use the holy blood on him?” Merlin hesitated before suggesting.

An Lin immediately shook his head. “No. I won’t just accept any trash as my underling! Laden almost killed my friends and my disciple, so he has to die!”

So cool!

All three Blood Tribe underlings trembled as they stared at An Lin with scorching light in their eyes.

Cassidy: “I obtained the Cursed Star Blood Sword at the holy land. It can repress Laden’s monstrous life force for a short time, thereby temporarily sealing away his regenerative ability.”

Merlin also chimed in, “I obtained the Deceased Spirit Bead at the holy land. It can draw on spiritual power to create an extremely powerful sealing formation. Even if Laden was to unleash his power of the divine dao, it would be difficult for him to escape from it in a short period of time.”

Tobias nodded with a serious expression. “I have a drop of the Blood Patriarch’s blood which can be fused into a spell technique. In doing so as a Holy Disciple, I can draw on the power of the Blood Patriarch to unleash an attack comparable with a strike from a Dao Integration Stage mighty figure!”

Everyone instantly became excited upon hearing this.

“Those are some bad*ss treasures!” An Lin was shocked.

The three Blood Tribe underlings were quite pleased upon receiving praise from their Holy Leader.

“Using the treasures obtained in the Blood Tribe holy land to assassinate the person who was one of the top candidates to become a Holy Disciple! What an impressive turn of events!” Xu Xiaolan couldn’t help but exclaim and marvel at how fate worked sometimes.

The three Blood Tribe underlings were all smiles upon receiving praise from the Holy Maiden.

“Those are some extremely powerful trump cards! Debilitation and entrapment before landing a powerful killing technique! This is a lethal three-course meal for Laden!” An Lin’s eyes lit up with unadulterated excitement.

However, he quickly fell silent again. “Wait, there’s an issue with this plan. You’re going to be exposed very easily after the event, in which case you won’t be able to stay at the Dark Marshlands any longer. It was not easy for you three to obtain the opportunity to become the Holy Disciples of the Blood Tribe, it shouldn’t be squandered like this!”

The three Blood Tribe underlings immediately offered retorts.

“All those who dare to offend the Holy Leader must die! This is non-negotiable!” Tobias said.

“That’s right!” Cassidy nodded in agreement and said, “Holy Leader, we are more than willing to make such a small sacrifice for you!”

“The opportunity of becoming the Holy Disciples is nothing compared to the opportunity to follow the Holy Leader! We will do anything for you!” Merlin chimed in with a firm expression.

An Lin didn’t say anything. Just because his three Blood Tribe underlings were willing to make the sacrifice for him didn’t that he could just accept their sacrifices.

He knew what the opportunity to become the Holy Disciples of the Blood Tribe entailed. This was an opportunity even Dao Integration Stage mighty figures would be envious of. Even if his underlings were willing to do this for him before fleeing to Heavenly Court, he was unwilling to make them forego such a fantastic opportunity.

Just as he was racking his brains for a better course of action, a white crane suddenly flew in the air toward the courtyard.

The crane’s cries abruptly broke through the silence.

An Lin and the others looked up into the sky to find that the white crane was circling in the sky overhead.

It was an extremely majestic crane, with a pristine white body. All of its feathers practically glowed under the light of the sun as it exuded a sense of ethereal grace and elegance.

That’s right, this white crane was gorgeous… if you ignored its eyes, which were larger than watermelons…

Everyone stared at the strange white crane as ten thousand alpacas stampeded over their hearts. This was simply far too bizarre.

An Lin immediately figured out who the owner of the white crane was.

There was no way not to figure it out. Those two eyes were simply far too eye-catching!

Bam!

The white crane suddenly exploded into ink, leaving its massive eyes to roll around the ground all the way over to An Lin, where they blinked with innocent expressions.

This was an extremely bizarre image…

“Be careful, Holy Leader, those are bombs!”

“Who dares to stage such an absurd assassination attempt against the Holy Leader?”

“Quick! We need to get away from those eyes! It must be some sort of curse technique!”

The three Blood Tribe underlings formed a meat shield in front of An Lin as he stared down at the pair of massive eyeballs with grave expressions.

“There’s no need for that… I feel like they’re pretty harmless, only a little bit ugly…” An Lin skirted around his Blood Tribe meat shield and picked up the pair of massive eyes.

Lin Junjun was undoubtedly responsible for this.

“Don’t do it, Holy Leader!”

“That’s dangerous!”

However, their voices had only just faded when the two eyeballs exploded.

Bam!

Everyone drew a collective sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.

Ten black robes suddenly appeared before everyone with an accompanying note.

“Disposable aura-concealment robes that are able to withstand the pollution of the Dark Marshlands and escape the detection of Dao Integration Stage mighty figures. Provided to you by the Celestial Thearch; shelf life of three days…” An Lin read out the note to everyone.

Everyone was dumbstruck upon hearing this as they began to doubt their own ears.

“What did you say, Classmate An Lin? Provided by the Celestial Thearch?!” Xuanyuan Cheng exclaimed in shock.

“These aura-concealment robes arrived at the perfect moment. Could it be that the Celestial Thearch has already foreseen our plan? Is he omniscient?” Sword Immortal Ling Xiao was also quite shocked.

Cassidy provided an explanation at this moment and said, “I think this might be because one of the mighty figures of the Heavenly Court discovered us on our way here, which allowed them to foresee our plan…”

Thus, she recounted the harrowing experience of being spotted by that pair of terrifying lightning eyes.

Everyone came to a sudden realization upon hearing this.

“So Emperor Tian Huang passed on the information to the Celestial Thearch?”

“It looks like the Heavenly Court approves of our mission…”

“They’ve airdropped supplies to us, so they’ve definitely approved of our mission!”

“Should we do it then?”

“Of course! We can’t miss out on such a good opportunity!”

An Lin and the others came to a unanimous decision after a short discussion, and the operation to assassinate Laden commenced.
