C258 Ambition
Chi Lian!
Within the spiritual barrier, he, who was wrapped in black fog, had obviously become the center of attention. At this moment, even Hua Manying's existence was slightly inferior. Everyone looked at his figure with eyes full of respect, only looking at his back. Everyone felt as if their vitals had been stabbed by a dagger, causing their bodies to go numb.
He was definitely the sharpest knife by Hua Manying's side!
The Heavenly Flower Tribe was very large. It had existed for so many years in this plane, and there were countless geniuses who possessed the bloodline of the royal family. This could be easily seen from the number of people who entered the temple every year in the Heavenly Flower Tribe.
Since it was a large family and there were many geniuses of the same age, the competition among them could be imagined.
Not only competition, but also blood!
Even though the clan clearly stated that their own people were not allowed to kill each other, as a super clan with a large number of people, how could there be fewer people hiding in the darkness?
Assassination.
Assassination.
Revenge!
Innumerable battles, both openly and covertly. The darkness of competition within the super clans. It could be described as bottomless. The reason why Hua Manying was able to stand out among the geniuses of so many years was naturally not simply because of his innate talent.
Chi Lian was definitely one of the most crucial factors in his ascension to such a position!
In the memories of everyone present, when they chose to become Hua Manying's vassals, Chi Lian was already by his side.
In the short span of a year after Hua Manying awakened the transcendent-grade talent, he had been attacked and killed countless times, but every time, he would retreat unharmed.
It was not just that.
If someone wanted to kill him, he had to kill others as well.
However, in the memories of these people, no matter who their opponent was... No matter how strong they were, Hua Manying had never sent them to kill him. But strangely, as long as it was someone who was born to be a threat to him... It was quite strange. It was even more terrifying.
A sneak attack.
Every time, it was a sneak attack.
Moreover, everyone died under a sharp weapon, as if they didn't even have time to react before dying.
It was Chi Lian!
Over time, everyone could guess this point, even if they didn't have any evidence. Later, Hua Manying's competitors finally noticed Chi Lian's existence and looked for powerful people to protect him, but in the end -
It was still the same!
As long as they were targeted by Hua Manying or Chi Lian, no one could live for more than a month. Because of this, Hua Manying's competition was getting lesser and lesser. Among them, there were also many who tried to get their hands on the position of the Saint. However, because of Chi Lian, they eventually gave up and became Hua Manying's retinue.
This was the legend of Chi Lian.
Some people even gave him the title of "King of Assassination."
There were rumors that as long as Chi Lian attacked, no one below the God Hiding Stage would be able to avoid him. At first, there were people who doubted him, but later on, there were no more, because those who questioned him were all dead!
"He actually wants to attack?"
Everyone's hearts shivered. While feeling shocked, they also relaxed quite a bit. In their point of view, since Chi Lian had accepted this mission, he would definitely be able to complete it perfectly. They wouldn't have this kind of pressure anymore.
But right after that, they realized a new problem.
Would Hua Manying agree?
After all, in their memories, they had never seen Chi Lian leave Hua Manying's side and stay by his side. No one could threaten his position.
Now that he wanted to go on a long journey, would Hua Manying really agree?
When everyone thought of this, they felt anxious and uneasy once again.
"Don't tell me he still needs to be called out?"
Just as the restlessness and panic continued to spread in their hearts, they suddenly saw Hua Manying lightly nod his head and wave his hand as if he did not care at all.
"Alright."
"Since you want to go, then go."
"Go early and come back early. Remember to bring their corpses back. This Saint is still useful."
As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of everyone suddenly trembled, and they were shocked and shocked.
He agreed!
Hua Manying actually agreed!
Everyone was shocked. Chi Lian, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't expect Hua Manying to agree so readily. His body was stiff for a moment. It was not until the latter finished speaking that he reacted quickly. He bowed and even his voice trembled a little.
"Master, don't worry. Chi Lian will not let you down!"
He said.
Hu!
Everyone only saw a blur in front of their eyes. A black shadow was floating in front of them. Where was Chi Lian's shadow on the ground in front of them?
This speed!
Everyone turned pale with fright. They raised their heads and looked at the surrounding spiritual barriers. They were surprised to find that apart from the slight swaying of the spiritual barriers, there was nothing unusual about them. It was as if nothing had happened just now.
"This strength..."
Everyone was speechless. At the same time, they felt fortunate at the same time.
"Fortunately, he is on our side."
Chi Lian left.
He left with Hua Manying's mission.
Although the process of leaving shocked everyone, in the next moment, their hearts were filled with joy.
It was finally over!
They no longer had to bear the pressure of being called out.
Everyone felt their bodies lighten, but just as they were about to return to their original positions and sit down cross-legged, Hua Manying's cold voice suddenly rang out once again.
"Hua Guda Building, Hua Qian."
"The two of you, follow Chi Lian. Just fall behind."
"Keep an eye on his every move along the way. Report to me when you come back."
What?
Keep an eye on Chi Lian?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, especially Hua Gulou and Hua Qian who were called out. Their spirits were suddenly shaken, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale. They looked at Hua Manying with disbelief, and even their mouths began to stutter.
"Monitoring... Chi Lian?"
"But he..."
Within the spiritual barrier, anyone could clearly feel the fear in their trembling voices. But no one laughed at them, because they knew... If they were to be assigned such a task, their performance wouldn't be much better than theirs.
And what was even stranger was...
Why did Hua Manying do this?
Why was he spying on Chi Lian?
Didn't they have a master-servant contract? Could it be that Hua Manying suspected that Chi Lian would betray him?
Everyone was filled with doubt, but none of them dared to ask. They saw that Hua Manying had already closed his eyes, and didn't seem to care at all.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, he won't dare to kill you all."
"All you have to do is keep an eye on him. I will handle the rest of the matters when you return."
Don't dare to kill him?
Hua Gulou and Hua Qian looked at each other with pale faces. They could clearly see the panic in each other's eyes. Their eyes were constantly moving on Hua Manying's face. But in the end... His fear of the latter had gained the upper hand. Finally, he gritted his teeth. He bowed.
"Yes!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
...
Whoosh!
Hua Gulou and Hua Qian left, passing through the spiritual barrier. They stepped into the yellow sand that filled the sky. The spiritual barrier once again fell into silence. Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground. Their expressions were... They looked at Hua Manying, who had meticulously recuperated, and saw that the latter hadn't made a move or given orders for a long time. Only then did he finally let go of the huge stone in his heart.
However, no one dared to ask the doubt in their hearts, as to why Hua Manying had sent someone to follow Chi Lian.
After what happened just now, they didn't even dare to look at Hua Manying's face. Of course, they wouldn't be able to see it under Hua Manying's closed eyes. It was shining with a sharp light, deep and boundless, just like his subtlety. It seemed like he didn't move at all, but in fact, his thoughts had already fallen on Chi Lian.
"Earth Carving Flower."
"As expected, when I mentioned Earth Carving Flowers, you couldn't help it."
Hua Manying thought about Chi Lian's unusual behavior just now, and his thoughts went on and on until a few months ago, when they had just arrived in the Divine Garden and headed towards the Tiger Slope.
That time, they also went to search for the Earth Carving Flower. It was at that time that Hua Manying found something strange about Chi Lian's whereabouts for the first time. He just couldn't find any evidence, but this time, he found something strange about Chi Lian's whereabouts. -
"I finally found it!"
Hua Manying's thoughts went on and on. In his mind, all kinds of investigations and all kinds of strange things that had happened to Chi Lian flashed through his mind. His eyes were as bright as the tide and he could not suppress it for a moment.
After a long time, he finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I hope my guess is correct. You are really a member of that clan. It wasn't in vain for me to keep you here for so long."
"I'll naturally be able to confirm it when you return. However, at that time, I'm afraid that your hope will be completely dashed... "
Hua Manying muttered these words in his mind. If the surrounding people heard it, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Hua Manying was actually scheming against Chi Lian, who had made great contributions to his cause?
No.
He wasn't just scheming against Chi Lian himself.
"The legendary treasure... It's all mine!"
Hua Manying was overwhelmed with emotions. He was showing signs of losing control, and his eyelids were shaking. When he thought of Chi Lian's mission again, he became even more excited.
"Hua Yi'er..."
"The daughter of the Heavenly Flower Tribe's former prospective Saintess. Hahahahaha, the heavens are really helping me. I can't believe I actually encountered such a beautiful thing! It was said that the previous prospective Saintess not only left a mark on the Sage Tablet, but also completely refined it. She was only a step away from becoming Saintess... That thing must be with her too. Hua Jue's goal is this!"
Hua Manying's heart was overflowing with evil thoughts.
If Ye Xiao heard his criticisms, he would definitely be shocked.
Hua Yi'er, the daughter of the previous generation of Heavenly Flower Tribe's prospective Saintess?
Not only did Hua Manying know her name, he even knew her identity!
Unfortunately, the current Ye Xiao did not know, or it could be said that even Hua Yi'er herself did not know about her own background. She only treated the things on her body as her mother's relics and knew nothing else.
"They are all mine!"
"Including, you...!"
Hua Manying's spiritual sense was like a tidal wave, surging with madness as he suddenly broke through the spiritual barrier. After falling into the yellow sand that filled the sky, the narrow valley in front of him came into view. It was as if he could see a bright world within it. A spiritual flower was growing healthily. It was about to mature.
At the end of his field of vision, he even saw a vast and boundless rock that stood between the heavens and the earth. On it, he could faintly see various symbols flickering. Every name... It represented a super mighty figure that had left a deep impression in the history of Abandoned Clan.
It represented the recognition of the gods!
It represented the true identity of the Son and Saintess.
It also represented...
The position of the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Flower Tribe!
When he thought of this, Hua Manying's wild ambition was revealed at this moment. The profound subtlety had completely manifested itself, and it was so vast and mighty that it could not be restrained. Any desire within it was enough to startle the world.
But he was different.
He wanted to monopolize the three!
Such courage could be said to be overflowing with ambition!
Unfortunately, the surging emotions were all firmly suppressed in his heart, and outsiders had no way of knowing.
It was even more impossible for Ye Xiao to know about it.
In fact, everything he had worried about had become reality after he set out from the Chaotic Wind Forest and headed to the Tiger Slope. Instead of saying that he was bringing Hua Yi'er along, it would be more accurate to say that he was bringing Hua Yi'er along.
Killing along the way!1
