Chapter 539: Chapter 225: They All Deserve to Die! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4
Zhou Tiance’s old tears stread down his face. He nodded and said, “Good grandson, obedient grandson, I entrust this matter to you…”
As he spoke, he wiped his eyes and staggered out of the main hall back to the backyard, evidently shaken in spirit.
Only when the coughing and sobbing stopped did Chen Yuanfang sigh.
Although he had so leads, he needed further verification.
“Five days later, ‘Ji Jingtian,’ ‘General’… I hope they can enlighten !”
After sitting quietly for a long ti, Chen Yuan glanced at the main hall, then stood up and returned to his room to rest.
No matter what, tomorrow’s court assembly should reveal so clues.
At the very least, he needed to find out the identity of the court official Lu Fang ntioned who proposed advice!
Once the main hall was tranquil again, the silhouette of a young Daoist appeared at the door.
He looked at the Spring Rain Sword in the main hall, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
“Grandfather, after all these years, you still haven’t given up.”
“They all should die!”
The voice was barely audible, yet chilling and sinister like a demon!
…
After midnight had passed, the entire Kyoto Prefecture was much quieter.
Since the court lifted the Kyoto Prefecture curfew during this period, almost every night was bustling, and only after midnight did the districts close their gates.
Only the street-side taverns, inns, and so places of pleasure were still open, with the occasional drunken martial artists and noble family sons coming and going.
“Drink, Mr. Liu, let’s not return until we’re drunk tonight!”
“Lao Wang, don’t drink anymore. Early tomorrow morning, Lu Fang from the Yuhua Immortal Sect has scheduled a duel with ‘Fast Sword’ Li Fei from Hidden Sword Villa, and we must go to watch.”
“Oh? A duel?”
“How co Lu Fang has been so active lately?”
“Who knows? But his strength among the geniuses is indeed formidable, now ranked twenty-eighth on the ‘Genius Rankings · Earth List.’
“If he wins tomorrow’s battle, he should move up to twenty-fifth, and breaking into the top twenty isn’t impossible.”
“Top twenty? Haha, no, he won’t make it!”
“Old brother, look at who occupies the top twenty spots on the Earth List? They’re either from Kyoto Academy or from Wuliang Mountain, Dakong Temple, and the Grand Void Sect.”
“If he wants to enter the top twenty, he must first challenge the Grand Void Sect’s Xuanzhen Fairy, who is Sect Leader Xiao’s direct daughter. Can Lu Fang prevail?”
The group of drunken martial artists continued discussing the genius duels, contemplating going to watch Lu Fang and ‘Fast Sword’ in action.
In a corner of the tavern, Wen Renying listened to the conversation, secretly sneering.
No matter Lu Fang or not, in her eyes, they fall far short compared to “Little Sword Immortal” himself.
“But with the master’s current cultivation, he looks down on these geniuses. Why am I even thinking about this~”
Wen Renying frowned slightly, having disguised her appearance and attire, making herself look ordinary.
Waiting alone in the tavern’s corner did not attract the attention of other martial artists.
As she drank, she sized up several noble family sons in another sideroom, silently calculating the ti.
The young scholar in that sideroom included two people from the Wu family, listed in the register Chen Yi had given her.
These days, Wen Renying, like manipulating the Minister of Rites Zhao family, had already controlled mbers of the Tong family, Sun family, and Zheng family.
According to Chen Yi’s instructions, these three families, after kneeling outside the Chen Residence, began deliberately befriending Buddhist monks, frequently visiting Dakong Temple to investigate the reason for monks gathering in Kyoto Prefecture.
However, after two consecutive days, these people couldn’t even enter so important Buddhist halls in Dakong Temple, causing Wen Renying considerable anxiety.
Thus, she had to accelerate her pace, aiming to control so scholars to explore Dakong Temple.
Just as Wen Renying was spying on the young scholars in the sideroom, a figure suddenly appeared at her table, looking at her with a half-smiling expression.
Wen Renying was montarily stunned, examining the newcor, feigned surprise and asked, “You, are you one of the Yuhua Immortal Sect’s geniuses?”
The young Daoist looked at her with a smiling expression, “‘Demoness,’ can you not recognize even ?”
Wen Renying’s gaze suddenly changed, cold sweat forming in her heart.
“Sect, Sect Master?!”
