Chapter 1916: Chapter 1916: Did Jiang Yiyu Attempt to Assassinate Lu Changsheng?
They ascended to the seventh level.
Fang Qiong had already received the inheritance, and though he also passed through the Nine Level Thunder Tribulation, he seemed heavily injured.
Mu Wan’er immediately stepped forward to heal him with medicinal pills.
Before Hong Ying and the others could ask what had happened,
Fang Qiong said gravely, "Junior Brother Xu is in danger."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Had Xu Yeming’s identity been exposed?
Xu Yeming was still maintaining the identity of Xu Luo, the prodigy of the Xu Family. As long as his identity wasn’t exposed, even if someone wanted to attack him, with the ancestor Xu Youming present, it would be impossible for anyone to act against Xu Yeming.
"What’s going on?" Hong Ying’s face slightly darkened.
With Ye Qiubai not around, Hong Ying, as the second senior sister, naturally assumed the role of the leader.
"A man named Xu Chen from the Xu Family revealed Xu Yeming’s identity..." Fang Qiong replied solemnly.
Xu Chen?
Mu Fusheng, who had always been stationed within the Dark Domain and controlled all the intel, naturally knew about Xu Chen. He had also heard Xu Yeming mention that Xu Chen was the only one in the Xu Family who knew his identity.
But back then, Xu Chen’s response to Xu Yeming was that as long as he didn’t harm the Xu Family and it was beneficial to the Xu Family, Xu Chen wouldn’t intervene.
At that time, Xu Yeming had informed Xu Chen that he was only targeting those who had enmity with his father and that the Xu Family would benefit after the matter.
If Xu Chen deemed Xu Yeming’s words untrustworthy, he had many opportunities to reveal Xu Yeming’s identity earlier. Why wait until now?
This was the strangest part of this matter.
"Regardless, the priority now is to help Junior Brother Xu. With Xu Youming and a group of experts in the Xu Family, I’m afraid Junior Brother Xu is in imminent danger!" Hong Ying made a decisive statement.
Fang Qiong, having recovered seventy to eighty percent under Mu Wan’er’s treatment, hurried along with Hong Ying and the others towards the seventh level.
...
At this moment.
Outside the Core Land of the Chaos Divine Dynasty.
The representation of various first-rate factions, top factions, and sects appeared calm, even the most peaceful days in the Chaos Realm.
Yet hidden within was a murderous intent.
Using the space points arranged in different areas of the Chaos Realm and Lu Changsheng’s original speed,
everyone dispatched from the Immortal Realm was under the surveillance of Lu Changsheng’s soul fragment. They had essentially made contact with spies planted in various forces, all under Lu Changsheng’s control.
Basically, the spies planted in the various forces had also been mostly cleared by Lu Changsheng.
"That damned Ye Qiubai, when that brat comes back, not teaching Blackie better cooking skills will not allow him to leave!"
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Qiubai once again got blamed unjustly.
Lu Changsheng twisted his neck, hammered his waist, and expertly incinerated the corpse in front of him with a single flame. With a wave of his hand, a golden light enveloped the soul, which struggled in pain for a while before completely dissipating, leaving no trace behind. He then cleared the aura of the place.
Lu Changsheng clapped his hands, "All done."
Presumably, when the Immortal Realm calls for collective action by the spies, seeing them all "gone," won’t their mindset be broken?
"The remaining spies are only those in the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Clan..."
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng first returned to the Xuanyuan Clan.
As for the Xu Family’s spy, Xu Qing, every move was under Lu Changsheng’s surveillance.
Within a courtyard of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Jiang Yiyu, although her face was cold, the slight tremor of her pupils and the occasional twitch of her fingers openly displayed her anxiety.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing the familiar voice in front of her, Jiang Yiyu’s heart trembled. She instinctively looked up at Lu Changsheng, feeling a sudden chill.
Lu Changsheng returning here only signified one thing...
Jiang Yiyu hadn’t even noticed her voice seemed to be slightly trembling.
"They..."
Lu Changsheng waved dismissively, "Naturally, not a single one left."
The suspended heart finally settled, but sank into the endless abyss.
Lowering her eyes, the normally star-filled eyes were now dim and lifeless.
The covert agents were completely wiped out.
The action from the Immortal Realm had undoubtedly failed.
The plan to leverage the Chaos Realm through covert agents was bottled at its inception by Lu Changsheng.
"Why think so much?" Lu Changsheng sat on a stone bench nearby, resting one leg on another stone stool, another on his thigh, with hands pillow behind his head looking extremely relaxed.
"The situation has reached this point, what’s the use of thinking about it now when you didn’t stop it in the first place?"
Jiang Yiyu bit her silver teeth lightly, glaring at Lu Changsheng with wide eyes.
Do you have no shame?
Did I have the power to stop it?
If I even spoke a word, I’d have neither body nor soul left, how could I possibly stop it?
Just as she wanted to speak, she heard the faint sound of snoring.
Jiang Yiyu stared dumbfounded at the closed-eyed Lu Changsheng and was taken aback.
Was he asleep?
Jiang Yiyu cautiously tiptoed forward, looking down at Lu Changsheng, with a flicker of struggle in her eyes.
If she could just...
With a flash of cold light, the Ice Crystal Divine Sword slipped into her hand.
However, just as she raised it, Jiang Yiyu suddenly sighed, as if the will within her dissipated.
Little did she know, Jiang Yiyu’s inner struggle saved her life.
Lu Changsheng wouldn’t hold back against those who sought his life, fearing not to exterminate them utterly.
Moreover... although others might not know, everyone in the Longevity World understood their master’s enormous despertar of his afternoon naps...
Disturbing Lu Changsheng at this nap time?
Really brave, aren’t you?
...
On the other hand.
At the seventh level of the Core Palace of the Chaos Divine Dynasty.
When Hong Ying and others hurriedly arrived, the sight was already one of utter chaos.
It was unclear which force’s Buddhist cultivators had already died by the dozens.
Traces of battle were everywhere, and chaotic immortal aura intermingled in this space.
Yet, there was no sign of Xu Yeming, Xu Youming, Xu Cang Yuan, or any of the Xu Family members.
About a dozen people were preparing to ascend.
Mu Fusheng glanced across.
Second on the Cangxuan List, Su Yuan of Su Xian Sect was prominently among them.
As if sensing the gaze, Su Yuan turned back to look at Mu Fusheng, then glanced at those around him, realizing they were interested in the events here.
Su Yuan lightly laughed, pointing to a Teleportation Gate in the center of the hall, laced with a faint yellow hue, "They all went in."
Mu Fusheng deeply glanced at Su Yuan.
The earlier glance concealed both his eyes and senses, yet the other could still detect it.
This Su Yuan seemed not simple.
More peculiar than other figures on the Cangxuan List.
Very little intelligence was available about Su Yuan and He Mengshen, who ranked first on the Cangxuan List.
Watching Su Yuan and others move to the eighth level, Mu Fusheng retracted his gaze.
Jiu Bailu squeezed Mu Fusheng’s hand, whispering: "There are quite a few threads of karma on Su Yuan, his power..."
Mu Fusheng nodded solemnly.
Su Yuan and He Mengshen were now marked as key focus targets by Mu Fusheng.
