Chapter 242: The Assassination Assignment

Yun Shimo could not help it either. The only thing he could do was to follow closely behind Hua Qiyue, hoping that she would not be harmed by the devil inside.

However, Yun Shimo kept feeling for some reason that Hua Qiyue and Tianpi’s relationship was not an ordinary one. After all, he had also gotten someone to investigate Hua Qiyue.

The investigator reported that Hua Qiyue would often ask her maidservants to prepare some roast chickens and a few flagons of good wine at night. After the night, all the wine would disappear.

Everyone felt that Hua Qiyue must have a good appetite. But she had not put on weight. Now, Yun Shimo could confirm that Hua Qiyue had given the wine and chickens to that devil.

Hua Qiyue was not a stupid girl. To make her so docile, that man must not be simple.

When he thought of this, Yun Shimo felt extreme discomfort.

Ji Jing went forward. “What now, Brother Yun? It seems that Qiyue will surely not take the jade out. If she encounters any danger…”

“Jing’er, don’t worry… Qiyue is no ordinary girl. No one can hurt her. Besides… after the battle against the Gnawing Devils Sect, we must have confidence in her.”

Ji Feng said gently. The moment his voice faded, Yun Shimo turned around, staring silently into his eyes.

The expression in Ji Feng’s eyes was somewhat cold. “Brother Yun, no matter what your reason is for betraying Qiyue, I believe that she won’t get hurt so easily again. Because… no one can be as cold-blooded as you.”

Yun Shimo’s entire body shook, his heart beginning to throb faintly with pain.

“Moreover, the Gnawing Devils Sect was an unconquerable opponent and yet we had won. Because Qiyue has too many forbidden arts. Although you’ve sacrificed a lot, anyway, if you were honest with Qiyue and would not take everything on your shoulder, then… for Qiyue, you’d be more of a true man.”

Ji Feng said his piece, then turned around and descended the mountain.

Ji Jing, staring at Huangfu Xuan, was also silent. She glanced embarrassedly at Yun Shimo. “Brother Yun, I used to worship you. But… you must believe Sister Qiyue. She is no ordinary girl. It was exactly because you distrusted her that resulted in the present situation… ”

“I can only say this much. I hope your mind will open up, Brother Yun.”

Ji Jing said this and followed behind them, descending the mountain. She left Yun Shimo standing there alone, watching the serpentine path, his eyes a little confused.

“Father, was I wrong?”

Yun Shimo asked quietly.

At this moment, a human figure whizzed out from the huge boulder behind his back. It was, of course, Yun Xuan, Yun Shimo’s father.

Although Yun Xuan looked somewhat old, the expression in his eyes was absolutely resolute.

“Shimo, you must believe everyone has their own destiny, their own way of thinking. If you believe you’re right, just go ahead and do it. Don’t be concerned about how others see or treat you.”

Yun Xuan said quietly.

“Besides, this matter is extremely serious. Now, you’ve let them know about the existence of the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead. I hope they will keep mum about it, or it will lead to greater disaster.”

Yun Xuan gave a gentle sigh. “Do whatever you like. Qiyue will forgive you in the future.”

Yun Shimo’s heart immediately opened up. “Thank you, Father. I have understood. I will go and cultivate first.”

Yun Xuan began to nod and smile, gratified. “You’re like me in the past… Although I am quite useless, I’m not ashamed to face up to my past. Now, I’m already at the lower level of Holy God. I hope to break through to the medium level soon. With our combined prowess, we won’t need to fear the Xuanyuan Family too much.”

“I will work hard to cultivate!” Yun Shimo said quietly. Then, he headed for his usual cultivation ground.

In the mountains where the Xuanyuan Family resided, there was one mountain called the Evil Beast Mountain. Many top-grade evil beasts lived there.

This mountain chain was also the place where the descendants of the family were tested.

Led by the Second Elder, Xuanyuan Chuyang arrived at the Evil Beast Mountain to begin his test. As he was the candidate, Second Elder would only watch and not help.

After all, it was a test for their descendants. Second Elder would naturally invigilate this test very strictly.

Xuanyuan Chuyang was the grandson of the old Patriarch. All the hopes of the clan fell on this grandson’s shoulders. After all, Xuanyuan Chuyang was the most gifted among all their descendants.

“Pow—”

“Growl…”

The hideous cry of a Nine-tailed Beast. Xuanyuan Chuyang had slain another seventh-grade evil beast again.

Second Elder stood by one side, nodding and smiling repeatedly. “Hmmm, Chuyang, you seem to have improved a great deal recently.”

“Thank you for your praise, sir. Compared to the powers of Second Elder, mine is no more than a mere ant’s,” Xuanyuan Chuyang replied modestly.

Second Elder started to guffaw. He realized that this lad knew how to please others. He seemed destined for the position of the new Patriarch and leader.

At this moment, wild gales began to blow. The expression in Second Elder’s eyes changed. “Be careful. This aura seems to be from an eighth-grade evil beast!”

Second Elder naturally would not fear an eighth-grade evil beast. But he was accompanying Xuanyuan Chuyang for his test. Even if Chuyang became hurt or could not defeat the beast, he still could not act.

He could only act when Chuyang’s life was at stake. This was the rule of the clan. It would allow future generations to undergo more severe tests and execute their potential to the fullest.

“Yes, Second Elder, I will be careful,” Xuanyuan Chuyang said solemnly.

The gale became even stronger. A strange growl was heard. Second Elder’s face turned even more ghastly.

“This is a Strange You, a new kind of evil beast… its body is that of a serpent but it has eight legs and a pair of wings. This evil beast is extremely terrifying. It’s a ninth-grade evil beast!”

Second Elder said loudly. Before his voice had faded, the sound of tearing timber resounded from the woods ahead. Xuanyuan Chuyang had not recovered when something flashed into his sight. A strange, gigantic serpent was blocking his way!

Xuanyuan Chuyang’s heart started to thump wildly. He watched that strange, gigantic serpent, inhaling a cold breath.

That strange serpent was called a Strange You. It was several meters high and extremely massive. Probably seven or eight men were needed to haul it across.

The Strange You stared down at Xuanyuan Chuyang coldly, spitting out its ice-blue, forked tongue. Its crimson eyes were bloodshot.

Second Elder saw it and instantly sensed the solemnity of the situation!

Such a powerful Strange You—would Xuanyuan Chuyang be its match?

“Chuyang, be careful!”

When he saw the Strange You crouched slightly, the anxious Second Elder started to call out softly.

“I will. Don’t worry, Second Elder. I will surely slay this beast!” Xuanyuan Chuyang replied loudly. The Strange You heard his words. It began to hiss, a tinge of derision flitting across its eyes.

The Strange You had no more patience. Its tail forcefully swept out, hitting down upon Xuanyuan Chuyang.

Xuanyuan Chuyang nimbly leaped aside, dodging the serpent tail’s sweep. But the tail seemed to have eyes. It kept following Xuanyuan Chuyang closely!

Xuanyuan Chuyang struck out all at once. As he ran, he hurled out a light ball. It boomed and exploded by the serpent’s side.

Second Elder was so anxious that his forehead was beaded with perspiration. But he could only watch and not act to save him.

Even so, Xuanyuan Chuyang was not afraid. He unleashed more than 10 strikes, one hitting the strange serpent. Yet its body was so tough and firm that he could not injure it.

The man and the serpent exchanged several hundred moves. Xuanyuan Chuyang was soon at a disadvantage. The bloody wounds on his body multiplied.

“Yang’er, be careful!”

Second Elder gave a shocked gasp. He saw the strange serpent suddenly spread out its wings and swoop down. Its massive body was about to bear down upon Xuanyuan Chuyang!

Xuanyuan Chuyang was so exhausted that he kept panting. He did not even have the energy to escape. He could only watch hopelessly the strange serpent bearing down upon him, as he summoned all the anima energy around his body to shield himself.

Just at the moment when Xuanyuan Chuyang awaited death, he heard two whizzes. The sound of something tearing through the air resounded.

“Pfft—”

The body of the gigantic serpent rushing toward Xuanyuan Chuyang stiffened, its wings drooping feebly. Its massive body suddenly crashed loudly before Xuanyuan Chuyang’s front.

Xuanyuan Chuyang was greatly shocked. Usually, in this Evil Beast Mountain, young people would only come for trials.

But the strange serpent was too huge. Anyone could see it from a distance. They would think it was an ordinary Qi Artist fighting the serpent and would not blame the invigilator.

The strange serpent gave several hoarse, enraged hisses. But its green body soon turned black!

The strange serpent had been lethally poisoned!

Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief. If there was an accident and Xuanyuan Chuyang had died, he would have to shoulder grave responsibility.

“Wow, Brother Ming, you’re awesome. You managed to kill an eighth-grade evil beast with two arrows!” A tender, endearing female voice rang out. Xuanyuan Chuyang immediately stood up, trying his best to not look too sorry.

At this moment, two figures whizzed in from the distance. They were a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman alluring and pretty. They landed in front of the huge serpent, watching its writhing death throes. The man nodded his head satisfyingly.

“Thank you, young master, for saving me with your arrows!” Xuanyuan Chuyang cupped his fists, speaking loudly.

He did not pay too much attention to face. There was a chivalrous spirit in his bones. Second Elder quietly sighed. The Patriarch had indeed groomed him well.

“Oh, it’s Brother Chuyang!” The girl tittered lightly. She was the grand-daughter of Second Elder, Xuanyuan Qing’er. The man was Hua Qiyue’s old enemy—Liu Shaoming.

When Liu Shaoming left Changjing Kingdom and arrived at Yuewu Kingdom, he accidentally became acquainted with Xuanyuan Qing’er. She brought him back to her clan.

The Xuanyuan Family usually did not take to strangers well. But Xuanyuan Qing’er insisted on marrying Liu Shaoming. So the Second Elder and her father had to give in to her.

“Qing’er!” Second Elder cried out in joyous surprise. He strode over. “Qing’er, Shaoming, so you two are testing yourselves here?”

After greeting Xuanyuan Chuyang and Second Elder politely, Liu Shaoming spoke up clearly and loudly. “Qing’er and I discovered that Strange You by chance. So we pursued it. We didn’t know Brother Chuyang was undergoing a test here. So sorry to have you disturbed.”

When he heard Liu Shaoming so polite, Second Elder also felt much fondness for Liu Shaoming.

“I’m truly embarrassed. If it weren’t for Brother Liu, I would have died under the claws of the serpent. Don’t be so polite, Brother Liu. When I return, I will give you a lavish welcome!”

Xuanyuan Chuyang smiled.

Liu Shaoming gave a little smile. After chatting for another while, they separated to undergo their respective tests. But Liu Shaoming did not know that he was soon to ecnounter Hua Qiyue again. That night, when he returned home, Second Elder brought him the old Patriarch’s order, commanding him to assassinate Hua Qiyue.
