Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 984: Possible Target

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Han Bingxue was furious. Xuan Bing was even more furious.

As a woman, she hated it when somebody played with other's feelings. She hated it the most.

However, that was the main business of that vicious organization.

It used people's feelings as their weak point.

So far as they knew, there were two successful cases, Xiao Mufei and Guo Meng!

How many others that they didn't know yet?

They had succeeded on Guo Meng, a level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivator. Would they go on with some stronger people? Nobody could see the future. Nobody had the answer. But it was sure things wouldn't get better!

"I smell blood." Han Bingxue sniffed and then walked away fast.

"This place is only fifty miles away from where we met Guo Meng." Xuan Bing said, "According to Guo Meng's capability, with that fatal wound, he could run fifty miles at most, even though he had burned the rest of his life energy."

"So this is very likely the place he got attacked."

Xuan Bing said.

Ye Xiao looked quite sad, looking at the direction where Han Bingxue was heading to. He said, "If I am right, this is not Guo Meng's blood. It should be… that woman's."

Xuan Bing suddenly turned to him and said, "What? You mean the woman who attacked him?"

There sounded Han Bingxue's voice, "Ah… A woman… Hiss! Isn't she… Isn't she…"

Ye Xiao and Xuan Bing caught up with him and saw a dead body of a woman lying in a bush, with her face up to the sky. In her eyes, they could see how surprised she was.

Ye Xiao checked the body and found that she had been dead for a while. She might have died even before Guo Meng. It seemed she died with a grievance and everlasting regret.

He looked at her face and realized it was exactly the same as the lady in that picture, which was kept in Guo Meng's ring.

Xuan Bing's eyes widely opened.

No wonder Guo Meng was caught off guard and lost in emotions. He suddenly saw a woman who looked just like his beloved wife, whom he had missed for so many years. This woman even knew lots of things about him. He certainly would be shocked. It would be unreasonable if he wasn't.

Why would this woman die in this place? She killed Guo Meng already! Yet she even died before Guo Meng!

Ye Xiao made a deep sigh and said, "As far as I am concerned, that organization only raised her to kill Guo Meng in a proper opportunity. As long as Guo Meng was meant to die, it means she had fulfilled her mission. She would only become an evidence of their crime afterwards. That's why…"

"So they just killed her when she reported to them. They killed her before she realized it! That would put an end to this thread. How decisive! How brutal!"

"If Guo Meng didn't burn his life energy to get away from here and met us, if I didn't give him that dan bead so that he could tell us the truth before he died, if I didn't experience the same situation before, this would become a case that will never be settled!"

As Ye Xiao spoke, he frowned tighter.

That organization was rigorous and venomous. It was heinous and worrisome in all aspects!

"They didn't have to kill her." Han Bingxue seemed to have a different thought. He said, "She was capable enough to kill Guo Meng. Even though she did a sneak attack, she shouldn't be weak. Otherwise, when she stabbed the sword into Gun Meng's heart, she shouldn't be able to make a blast in the heart. Wasn't it a waste to kill such a capable cultivator? Besides, they could just use her to cheat Guo Meng's friends. She was still useful to them…"

"Whatever you have in your mind about this, they have it too. Don't you think they can?" Ye Xiao blandly said, "Guo Meng was a level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivator. He wouldn't have ordinary friends. His friends must also be powerful in some way. How could the organization not target them too? Maybe there are just different traps for different people. Everyone could expect one. They should have prepared for different cases for some time."

"This is the only possibility why they had to kill this woman. If she lives, she might be a threat to other plans. She would become a leak… They had to kill her, so as to keep their secrets and make sure nobody could get to them."

Xuan Bing looked solemn in the eyes, like she had never been before. She spoke in a low voice, "This organization… is horrible. Before this, nobody, no sects, and no force knew about it. Nobody knew that there is actually such a secret organization."

"I guess their days will become tougher in the future, since now Miss Xuan has known about it." Ye Xiao said, "However, I have to amicably remind you… Since this organization has rooted so deep, you, Miss Xuan… maybe one of their targets..."

There were words he didn't say after that. What he said meant a lot.

Xuan Bing was moved.

She was in such a high position in the martial world and strong cultivation capability, so she surely was one of their targets! She was definitely one of their targets!

In fact, she was an important target!

Ye Xiao looks at Han Bingxue and said, "As for you… You too. In fact, every cultivator who still cares for their family, their friends, and their sect will become their target. That's why we have to be very careful in the martial world afterwards. We must think before we do anything reckless."

Han Bingxue showed a solemn face and slowly nodded. He said, "Miss Xuan and I both need to be careful. What about you?"

Ye Xiao smiled. "I guess this is the only friendly setting for rookies in the Qing-Yun Realm. At least they won't pay attention to me any time soon."

It amused Xuan Bing. She showed a big smile.

[You are a little guy who has just come to this world. Why would such a huge organization pay attention to you?]

[Besides, even if they want to set you up, they don't have enough time to prepare.]

[It takes a long time to raise a person who can cheat your eyes. It should be more or less twenty years! Otherwise, their plans wouldn't be so perfect!]

"Now she and all about her have gone to the netherworld. Let's bury her." Ye Xiao sighed.

After that, they got back on the road. Xuan Bing seemed quiet. After a long time of silence, in the dark of night, under the sky of stars, she made a long sigh and said, "A level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivator… died in a vile plot… Things in the world are really unpredictable…"

What she said sounded complicated.

"This organization is a huge trouble to the world. Someone has to destroy it!" Han Bingxue spoke after being quiet.

The three of them didn't stop thinking about this horrible secret organization. Deeper as they thought, the heavier they felt in the heart.

"It must be destroyed!"

Xuan Bing eventually said it.
