Chapter 892: Chapter 45: Ambush and Counterambush, Zhao Xing’s Backup Plan!
"Yes."
Zhao Xing still complied.
He had already understood King Heavenly Destiny’s intention.
Now, his true self was hidden away.
Only the Life Soul of the bait outside remained strong.
The soul splitting bodies existing within the other avatars were very weak and easily discernible by powerful figures.
"The true self must not develop any thoughts, quietly guard here, and wait for the outcome."
"Yes." Zhao Xing immediately emptied himself.
...
Dang County, East Suburb, in a manor full of maple leaves.
A middle-aged man in a Liu Ren Daoist robe lifted his head to gaze at the sky.
His room had a skylight, from which sunlight descended and formed a flowing image on the ground.
"Tian Jue, what have you calculated?" A man with a monkey-like face covered in golden fur and carrying two knives walked over.
"Jin Ye Wang, it’s time to prepare for action. Today at the start of You hour, Zhao Xing will arrive at Dang County." Tian Jue Taoist spoke, "This time it’s his true self that is coming."
"Do you feel confident?" Inside the room, a woman stepped out from the shadows with a crisp voice. "Don’t be like Sword River Venerable and the others, who aimed to assassinate Liu Tianning but ended up cutting only Ten Thousand Skill Avatars."
"Ice Xuan King, you are also a Military Minister of Agriculture Officer, you should be able to see through it, just take a look at the time, right?" Jin Ye Wang looked at the seductive woman dressed in a Cloud Rain Daoist robe with a Flowers Fighting Umbrella on her head.
"I follow the Heavenly Time Sect." Ice Xuan King shrugged, "Before the Xuantian Academy split, no one esteemed Shangluo Academy, much less those cultivating the Grassman Skill."
"Were it not for Liu Zonghai and Wu Cheng who compiled this skill, the Ministers of Agriculture would have been seen by us merely as slaves tilling the land."
"One Ultimate Skill, changed the future of a sect, magic, wondrous beyond words."
A middle-aged man in a scholar’s robe holding a scripture book walked in, shaking his head and swaying.
Behind him followed a blind priest carrying a Divine Statue and holding a Spirit.
The three, upon seeing the frail scholar enter, unconsciously took a step back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don’t be like this, I’m not going to eat anyone." The frail scholar smiled. "What were you discussing just now?"
"Mr. Gu." Jin Ye Wang respectfully said, "Tian Jue said he has determined today at the start of You hour is the time to complete the task, Zhao Xing will appear in Dang County."
"That’s good news." Mr. Gu said, "I thought we had to wait for three or five months, Tian Jue brother is really impressive."
"Mr. Gu flatters." Tian Jue Taoist spoke modestly.
Facing this Ritual Repairer, the four were very respectful.
There’s no choice, Mr. Gu is the strongest here, he is a Second Grade Ritual Repairer!
Of course, this was a Second Grade Ritual Repairer appointed by Prince Liang.
Don’t be fooled by Mr. Gu’s current amiability, in truth he is deeply wicked.
Tian Jue, Ice Xuan, Jin Ye Wang, and the blind priest are all greatly afraid of him.
The Dumbing-down Skill, Forget Sorrow Method, and Silence Technique of the Ritual Repairer are all too tormenting.
"That’s settled, act at the start of the You hour today." Mr. Gu smilingly said, "Capture if you can, if captured, it can be used to restrain Liu Tianning, if not caught, then kill, it can also drive Liu Tianning mad."
"Remember, at least leave a body."
"Yes."
...
April 28th, exactly You hour, the Cloud Rain Ship leisurely appeared in Dang County.
"We’ve arrived at Dang County, it’s truly brutal."
Zhao Xing looked ahead at the Thunder Cloud with emotion.
"Above, Heavenly Thunder densely gathers, below, countless earth mines explode, accompanied by storm attacks."
At this time, Zhao Xing had completely forgotten about the assassination attempt.
To not reveal flaws, he sealed this part of his memory as soon as he exited the city.
At this time, his visit to Dang County was purely to inspect the situation and think of ways to rescue the disaster.
"Dang County originally had a harsh environment, now with unrest arising, the environment has worsened." Zhao Xing sighed.
"Luckily, Huang Shanggong evacuated early, bringing most of the populace to the shelters."
"Later through transfers, eighty percent of Dang County’s villages nearly had no residents."
"First, let’s check the most serious area."
Zhao Xing maneuvered the Cloud Rain Ship towards the region with the most severe thunderstorm in Dang County.
He was completely unaware that a pair of eyes was watching him.
"The target has appeared." Ice Xuan King overlooked below from the Thunder Pool, "It is confirmed to be Zhao Xing’s true self."
"Take action." Mr. Gu’s voice echoed beside the ear.
"Yes." Ice Xuan King immediately manipulated the Thunder Cloud, causing rain to fall from the sky.
All at once, visibility became extremely low.
The Cloud Rain Ship began to sway in the sky.
Ice Xuan King and Jin Ye Wang slowly closed in.
"He has already entered the range of the Forget Sorrow Array." Below, Tian Jue spoke, "Ice Xuan, Jin Ye, you two can capture him."
"Shua~"
Ice Xuan King and Jin Ye Wang suddenly appeared heading towards the Cloud Rain Ship.
"What?" Zhao Xing was startled, "Who are you people!"
"Boom boom!"
Jin Ye Wang’s twin knives slashed down, the two golden knife shadows collapsed like mountain peaks, pressing down on the Cloud Rain Ship.
"Not good!"
Zhao Xing immediately abandoned the Cloud Rain Ship to escape.
"Run? Can you manage to escape?"
Ice Xuan King instantly blocked Zhao Xing’s path, she licked her lips.
"Alright, I won’t run then."
Zhao Xing’s eyes turned clear.
Upon seeing these two Third-grade strangers, his Dream Storage Technique unsealed, thus understanding why the clone came.
"You, you’re really not running?" Ice Xuan King paused, "Aren’t you a disciple of Liu Tianning, didn’t you learn a top-level skill? Aren’t you going to struggle a bit?"
"Those who recognize the times are intelligent, you all are so powerful, why should I run."
"I surrender, please take me to see your leader." Zhao Xing was happy to buy time with her.
"???"
Jin Ye Wang and Ice Xuan King were momentarily dumbfounded.
