C99 The Chou Family's General Mobilization
0Xiao Yuan was hiding behind a bush of bamboo. His eyes were fixed on the main road, which was filled with people. He was excited and happy. There was also a faint trace of anxiety in his eyes. From time to time, a ruthless look would flash across his eyes, and he would even mutter softly from time to time. Only he himself could hear it.
"Xiao Jian, you piece of trash. . . I told you to go against me everywhere, but you were just lucky! You want to fight me? You want to fight with me over Mei'er? Hmph! I did it for you. I didn't hesitate to secretly run such a long distance, and even spent fifty thousand gold to invite you here. The Savage Wolf's Assassin Squad, which had been in the limelight recently, was doing this for insurance. I invited five bronze plate assassins at once, and they delayed my trip to the Sky Cloud Martial School to participate in the entrance exam. You want to meet sister Mei in the school. . . You are just daydreaming!"
Just as Xiao Yuan was still muttering endlessly, a black-clothed man, whose entire body was wrapped in black clothes and whose face was covered in a black mask, shot over with a pair of cold eyes about ten meters away from him.
At the same time, a low and cold voice was heard. "You'd better stop being so long-winded. Otherwise, you'll be discovered later. The failure of the mission has nothing to do with our Savage Wolf! If this causes the reputation of our Savage Wolf Squad to be tarnished, we'll have to pay with our blood! "
These cold words sent a chill down Xiao Yuan's spine. He immediately shut his mouth obediently.
The one who spoke was the leader of the Savage Wolf Squad, number one. The few people around him were number two, three, four, and five of the Savage Wolf Squad. In the Savage Wolf Squad, except for the two instructors, the strongest assassin had been invited by Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan did not reveal the name and background of the target of this mission. He only said that the target was a young man who was at the Late Period of Essence Warrior Stage, and his strength was about the same as an Early Essence Master warrior.
Under his repeated requests, for the sake of the Savage Wolf's reputation, Qii Shaan sent five of their strongest men over. The other four men had already spread out and hid at the best positions on both sides of the official road. With the cover of the trees, they were fully focused on each and every move on the official road.
The reason why Xiao Yuan didn't tell the Savage Wolf's Assassin Squad about Xiao Jian was because he was afraid that there would be too many mouths in the city. Plus, he was also a disciple of the Xiao family. If he told them himself that he wanted to hire a killer to kill his fellow disciple, it would be too cold-blooded and merciless. Thus, these strange killers would leave a bad impression on him.
Besides, there were too many people talking in the city. If his father found out about this. . . After all. . . Xiao Jian's status in the Xiao family had undergone a tremendous change. He was no longer the 'scholar' that everyone could bully and insult. "Trash!" He was now a person who everyone had met. He was a genius young master who would always ask for forgiveness.
Even the servants, guards, and disciples of the family were more respectful when they saw Xiao Jian than when they saw Xiao Yuan.
As Xiao Yuan shut his mouth, the entire Emerald Bamboo Peak became quiet once again. A breeze blew past and the bamboo swayed with the wind, making a "Shua!" sound. "A faint fragrance of the bamboo could be heard.
Spring was the season for the revival of all living things. The bamboo shoots also began to dig out small lumps of soil on the ground, preparing to break out of the ground.
As he listened to the bamboo forest suddenly quieten down, he could only hear his own heart thumping!" "Thump!" With the sound of his heartbeat, Xiao Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a little oppressive and he was unable to breathe properly. He could not help but open his mouth wide and breathe in the fresh air in the forest to relieve the pressure.
He glanced at the black shadow that had been standing still for a few hours. He didn't dare make a sound again.
The respect he had for the Assassin Squad of the Savage Wolf had long been engraved in his heart. Apart from the famous war of the Savage Wolf Squad, some of the recent achievements of the Savage Wolf Squad had also been replayed in Xiao Yuan's mind.
What did they mean by killing the wild wolf, the Dark Devil Hunting Squad? There were 76 of them in the group. There were also some profiteers who were protected by eight late Middle Period of Essence Warrior Stage warriors. Except for some children and women, their entire families were wiped out. Therefore, they would listen to whatever the Savage Wolf Squad said. It was even more effective than what his father, Xiao Feiloong, had said.
Another two hours of waiting was boring. Under the pressure of this heavy atmosphere, Xiao Yuan felt like he was going crazy. However, when he thought about the scariness of the Savage Wolf Squad, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air. He used his hand to gently stroke his chest, forcing himself to calm down.
When he thought that Xiao Jian would come at any time, he couldn't help but raise his spirits and look at the official road in the distance.
Just as Xiao Yuan's patience was about to run out in this endless and boring wait, "Click! Click!" "Click! Click!" The sound of galloping hooves travelled from the end of the official road to the relatively quiet Emerald Bamboo Peak.
Xiao Yuan's eyes were filled with "Huo!" The sound was like a drop of sparkling eye drops. It was bright and shiny, and it remained in a half-squatting position facing the official road, not moving at all.
The horse hooves approached from afar, and on the red horse, a black figure became clearer and clearer.
Xiao Yuan's expression was a little complicated. After waiting for a long time, he finally waited for the person's joy. He was also about to get rid of this' love rival 'who was regarded as a thorn in his side and had been forced to use the word "love rival. " He also had the feeling that he could kill this person with his own hands. There was also worry that this matter might be exposed.
However, as the person came closer and closer, Xiao Yuan realized that this damn "trash!" He didn't even know that he was about to die. There was even a heartfelt smile on his face.
In fact, this was Xiao Yuan blaming Xiao Jian wrongly. He had just gotten rid of the culprit who had been against him and indirectly caused the death of his previous self, Ye Fei. Xiao Jian had also fulfilled most of his promises to his previous self. The only thing he had promised him was to find out the cause of his mother's death and avenge her.
Xiao Yuan looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer to him on the official road below the mountain peak. He suddenly raised his right hand and pressed it downwards. Number One, who had been paying attention, also raised his right middle finger and pointed downwards. Immediately, his entire right hand pressed down.
Xiao Jian had just discovered a separated Scarlet Fox Horse in the grass by the road in front of him. Hence, he mounted the Scarlet Fox Horse and galloped in the direction of Jialan City.
It couldn't be helped. The geographical location of the Heavenly Essence Continent was too big and wide. The distance between the city and the city was also very big. There weren't any villages near the Devil Beast Mountain Range. There was only a small town called Wushan Town, which was located about two hundred miles away from the Heavenly Cloud City and the Jialan City.
However, just as he rode his horse into the vicinity of the Emerald Bamboo Peak, Xiao Jian keenly noticed a trace of killing intent in the air. If it wasn't for Xiao Jian's soul being stronger than the others, he would have already transformed into his Yuan Shen and wouldn't have been able to detect it.
