Even though tonight's incidents made Yuan Shuchun's goals easier to achieve, she didn't wish for such an easy victory, especially when she could have also been in place of Jiang Yun, on a deathbed, most probably crippled for life.
And today's incident also made her aware of a much more dangerous enemy out there in the dark.
If Jiang Yun survives tonight, maybe they can work together against this common enemy.
However, all this was just a wish because Jiang Yun's survival was sothing that no one could predict.
…
As Jun Xie's voice rang throughout the hall, questioning what they needed to do, Elder Xuan didn't hesitate and said, "It would better if both of you co with to the Grand eting Hall."
"You're the targets of this assassination, so anyone near is in danger, so you definitely can't stay in this hall. It may jeopardize the lives of all the disciples."
Yuan Shuchun and Jun Xie nodded in agreent as Grand Elder Xuan continued, "Even though Core Elders will be stationed here, and there's no need to worry about the safety of the disciples, but we can't afford to take any risk. Let's go."
"Alright," Yuan Shuchun and Jun Xie nodded and ca near Grand Elder Xuan.
"Both of you, follow ," Grand Elder repeated himself, and then turning towards the disciples, he said, "The sect is in an ergency state, and I want all of you to cooperate and listen to the instructions of the elders. Don't try to be a hero and go out of this Hall until morning."
He then turned and headed out.
Yuan Shuchun looked at the disciples and said, "The heavens will grace us, and the trouble shall be vanquished. Don't panic because the elders will handle everything."
And then she followed Grand Elder Xuan, who had already gone out of the building by now.
Jun Xie was about to go when he suddenly turned towards Hu Xing, who was still standing on the platform, and then said, "Junior Brother Hu Xing, co to the Alchemy Hall on the Second Peak, after all this is over."
And then, without waiting for a response, he turned and left.
In the hall, now only the disciples remained.
Ye Tian Yun suddenly smiled and looked at Hu Xing while saying, "Looks like the saying is indeed true, every dog had its day."
His words created an awkward mood in the hall because the disciples were already stressed from the incidents, and now they didn't know whether to laugh or not because Hu Xing wasn't a nobody anymore but a Seat Candidate for the Nine Supres.
There's a famous saying in the sect that being a Seat Candidate for the Nine Supres was no different from being a Core disciple of the Sect.
The benefits one might get may even transcend that of a Core disciple.
Hu Xing, who had heard Ye Tian Yun's comnt, didn't back down and said, "It's good to see you maintain the sa arrogance like before. I won't have to pity you later. Things will be easier."
His words raised the eyebrows of many disciples as they understood the hidden implications behind his words.
Ye Tian Yun, however, wasn't affected by this, "Well, be this confident after you beco one of the Nine Supres. You're just a Seat Candidate; that doesn't qualify you to talk back to ."
The arrogance in his voice heightened by the end of his sentence.
Hu Xing pursed his lips and cald down. He knew that arguing anymore would be pointless, and the words Ye Tian Yun said were indeed true; he was still a Seat Candidate, his struggles were still going on, his fate was still the sa. Butler of the Fang Clan Young Master.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped down from the platform and took his seat.
Ye Tian Yun also didn't waste any more ti and returned to his seat, Xiao Ming following him just behind.
The cold-looking disciples also took a seat among the older Inner Court disciples.
And slowly, the hubbub in the hall resud as the disciples began to discuss today's events.
They were also glancing at the top disciples of their peak from ti to ti.
Especially Fang Chen, because of his feat of seeing through the illusion, just like Xiao Ming.
However, the fact that Xiao Ming saw through it wasn't as surprising as Fang Chen's deed.
To the disciples, it was now certain that Fang Chen could rival Xiao Ming, at least in terms of Spirit Sense.
So even judged that Fang Chen had a bit higher spirit sense as compared to Xiao Ming because he was closer to the Assassin, thus proving that he arrived earlier.
But so argued that he was sitting closer to the throne, so of course, he would arrive earlier.
Though the argunt still stood that Fang Chen may have a bit higher spirit sense.
Alas, if only the disciples knew that the Fang Chen they are talking about was actually soone else and the difference between his and Xiao Ming's spirit sense was that of Heaven and Earth.
The gossip then turned towards Hu Xing, who, even though selected as the Seat Candidate, clearly didn't have a spirit sense as high as either Xiao Ming or Fang Chen.
In fact, the fact that the Dreamscape Supre, Jun Xie, soone who relied on his spirit sense talent, would actually choose his Seat Candidate based on sword talent rather than spirit sense was also weird.
Near the throne, Ye Tian Yun, unaware of the argunts flowing through the hall, was currently in deep thoughts as he assessed the incident that had happened.
In fact, too many things had gone awry, and he needed ti to think about his next step.
However, the one thing that bugged him most was Jiang Yun's assassination attempt.
How could that even be possible?
Because he knew that the odorless lted corpse near the throne was actually an assassin sent by Jiang Yun himself!
So how was it possible that those assassins attacked the one who hired them!?
