C966 Multi-party Pressure
"That's right. Rumor has it that Red Cloud Mountain is a place with a slim chance of survival. His strength was exchanged for his own with his own life." To the side, Ling Xuan smiled.
Lan Ning nodded in agreement. He frowned and said, "I just don't know who wanted to buy his name. They actually hired Blood Shadow Divine Palace. They really did spend a lot of money."
The night Qin Yun arrived in the capital, he was invited by the Second Prince to a banquet. It was said that at the banquet, the young city lord of Wind Forest City and the country's young master, Liu Cheng, had a conflict with him. Ling Xuan replied.
"I have seen the brat from the Feng Clan once. He is a very shrewd person and would not do such an outrageous thing. This matter is definitely the second generation of the Xiao Nation's Prime Minister." King Lanning said.
"Then we …" Ling Xuan asked King Lan Ning doubtfully.
"Don't worry about it. The king is even more anxious than we are. Let him be busy first." King Lanning smiled meaningfully …
And when King Luo received the news, he was even more determined to win Qin Yun over.
The other two dukes knew of the matter and did not have much of a reaction. After all, Qin Yun did not have much of a relationship with them. It was better for them to settle the matter in front of them.
As the Xue Shrine and the Crimson Fire God Palace wanted Qin Yun, the two powers were secretly paying attention to his news.
Not long after the killer from the Blood Shadow Divine Palace was killed, both of them received the news at the same time.
In the Heaven Realm, on top of a sacred mountain that was densely covered in red clouds, an extremely huge palace stood tall and upright.
This palace was nearly ten thousand miles in size, so big that one couldn't see the end of it. The palace itself was a deep red, and on every wall, there were countless deep scars.
This palace was the Blood Shadow Divine Palace, the place where the Blood Emperor resided.
In a side hall of the Blood Shadow Divine Palace, a middle-aged man in a red robe was walking back and forth. His name was Venerable Moon Slayer, he was the executive elder of the Blood Shadow Divine Palace.
Beside him stood a red-clothed old man and a blue-clothed old man.
The two of them were Venerable Flaming Cloud of the Crimson Fire Divine Palace and Venerable Hanxue of the Snow Shrine. They had come for the matter of the Blood Shadow Divine Palace chasing Qin Yun.
At this moment, Sha Yue's brows were tightly knitted. He never expected that Yan Ping would die in Qin Yun's hands. What was even more unexpected was that the executive elders of Crimson Fire Divine Palace and the Snow Shrine had come to find him for Qin Yun.
"Kill the moon. This Qin Yun is a member of my Snow Shrine. You can decide on your own." Venerable Snow said in a deep voice to Venerable Moon Slayer.
"Han Xue, although Qin Yun is now a member of your Snow Goddess Hall, he will be a member of our Crimson Fire Palace after he comprehends the true meaning of fire. Don't forget this point." Venerable Flaming Cloud quickly smiled at Venerable King Xue.
"If Qin Yun were to die, there's no need for us to fight. It's more important to protect Qin Yun now!" Han Xue said solemnly to Venerable Flaming Cloud.
"Haha, you old boy are right about this point." Venerable Flaming Cloud laughed heartily. Then, he turned to Venerable Moon Slayer and asked, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"But our Bloodshadow Palace has its own rules." Sha Yue replied in a low voice.
The rules of the Blood Shadow Divine Palace was that once a mission was accepted, there would be no end to it.
"In that case, the Blood Shadow Divine Palace is not willing to cancel the mission!" Venerable Hanxue shouted with a deep voice.
"Rules are dead, but people can live on. Besides, this rule of the Blood Shadow Divine Palace has been broken since ancient times." Venerable Flaming Cloud also laughed on the side.
After Sha Yue heard what they had to say, he looked at the two and pondered for a moment.
The Bloodshadow Palace was a major power, and it had a Sovereign level expert overseeing it.
However, regardless of which group it was, the Xue Shrine or the Crimson Fire Divine Palace were comparable in strength. Since these two forces were pressing him at the same time, the Blood Shadow Divine Palace had no choice but to give in.
Furthermore, it was not worth it for Qin Yun to fall out with the Crimson Fire Divine Palace and the Snow Shrine. It would be better to give them a favor.
"Looks like there's no need to continue this task. I need to inform the employer." With a flash of spiritual light, a communication stone appeared in the man's hand.
"Tell the employer that the mission to assassinate Qin Yun has been cancelled." The man said to the communication God's Stone.2
With that, the Divine Communication Stone disappeared into his hands.
"Thank you. If you need anything in the future, just ask for it." Venerable Snow said.
"Haha, then thank you for killing Venerable Moon. We brothers will take our leave first." Venerable Flaming Cloud smiled at the Venerable Moon Slayer.
After Moon Slaughter listened to the two of them, he nodded with a smile. It seemed like he would not lose out in handling this matter.
"Who's your brother?" Venerable Snow said coldly to Venerable Flaming Cloud.
Venerable Flaming Cloud did not care about Venerable Lord Han Xue's sarcastic remarks because he knew that Venerable Snow was in such a temper.
"Men, respectfully send the two Honored Warriors off." The Venerable Moon Slayer spoke in a deep voice.
A figure instantly appeared in the hall. This person was wearing dark-red clothes and had a graceful figure. An ice-cold expression was written on her beautiful face. It was Yuwen Qian.
Other than Qin Yun, no one knew that Yuwen Qian was involved in the matter.
"Yes, Master." Yuwen Qian replied.
"That's right, to think that he would be able to obtain such a talented disciple." Venerable Flaming Cloud glanced at Yuwen Qian and said with a smile.
At the side, Venerable Lord Han Xue looked at Yuwen Qian and could not help but nod his head. This was also a form of acknowledgement towards Yuwen Qian.
Sha Yue's face broke into a smile as he listened to them. Naturally, he was extremely pleased with himself.
"You two Honored Warriors, please follow me." Yuwen Qian said to the two of them.
After that, Yuwen Qian sent the two of them out of the Blood Shadow Divine Palace.
Outside the Prime Minister's Estate, a sloppily dressed old man carried a wine gourd as he arrived at the entrance.
The two guards outside the gates looked at the elder and sized him up. In their eyes, he was nothing more than an ordinary old man.
"Scram! Scram!" The two ornate armored guards at the door said to the old man.
"Isn't this the prime minister's mansion?" The old man frowned slightly and smiled at the two guards.
"Of course this is the prime minister's mansion, but it's not a place you should come to." One of the guards said disdainfully to the slovenly old man.
Just as the guard finished speaking, a ray of light flashed in the old man's hand and struck the guard's body.
The guard was turned into a cloud of blood mist by the attack. He didn't even have time to scream before he died.
One had to know that this guard was a Middle Saint, yet he was killed with a wave of a hand and not even a corpse remained.
"The people of the Prime Minister's Estate are too rude." The old man said in a deep voice.
