Capítulo 1648: Chapter 1595: Assassination Mission (Part 3)
Su Lie nodded, acknowledging that Song Xiaodong was referring to Chu Xianling. He knew Chu Xianling’s reputation well and said, “In Dragon Gate, we rarely involve outsiders. If it’s that girl, you should let her beco the Sect Leader’s Wife sooner rather than later, so that it can be legitimate in the future.”
Song Xiaodong felt sowhat embarrassed and said, “Let’s talk about that later.”
Su Lie chuckled without saying anything, but his expression completely betrayed his thoughts.
Song Xiaodong broke into a cold sweat, realizing his reputation as a philanderer was just as bad within Dragon Gate. Even if he genuinely cared for everyone, who would believe it? Besides, if you truly love soone, you shouldn’t fall for others, even if one doesn’t call Xiaodong unfaithful, he’s definitely too emotional.
After preparing for one night, the next day, Song Xiaodong and Su Lie traveled to Nepal together. This ti was an assassination, so there was no need to use more people.
Killing would certainly be preferable, but if they couldn’t achieve it, it would be no big deal. If there was even a hint of danger, Song Xiaodong would just fall back.
In a hotel, Song Xiaodong t up with Chu Xianling.
“Xiaodong, what are we doing this ti?” Chu Xianling’s expression was as calm as usual, yet her eyes showed a hint of eagerness.
Song Xiaodong said, “This ti, we’re assassinating an Elder from the Dark Night Sect. The Dark Night Sect has tried to kill
several tis; I must take down one of their top mbers.”
“An Elder from the Dark Night Sect, like the one who chased us last ti?” Chu Xianling’s expression instantly beca sowhat startled.
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “That’s right!”
“But… last ti, the two of us couldn’t handle just one of them, and now we’re trying to kill them? This…”
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “Last ti, they had the advantage, everything was in their favor. But this ti, it’s different. We’re using our wits against their lack of awareness, going straight for an ambush. Even if it fails, we can retreat directly. Plus, we have a master from Dragon Gate on standby, so we don’t need to worry about our safety.”
“Alright! I’ll follow your plan.” Chu Xianling readily agreed, although she was just montarily haunted by the shadow of the last chase; her inner resilience was indeed strong.
Song Xiaodong then thoroughly explained the details to Chu Xianling.
Chu Xianling, having limited experience with tactics and strategies, could only listen and follow Song Xiaodong’s instructions, storing every detail in her mind.
Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-Seven
Nepal is a mountainous country, and it’s a high-altitude region, with the northern part mostly above 5000 ters above sea level.
Ordinary people arriving here would find the high-altitude reaction intolerable.
Song Xiaodong and his team were currently located at Makalu Peak within Nepali territory.
It was almost deserted here, and nobody knew what the Elder of Dark Night Sect was doing atop this peak.
Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling were hiding in a snow den, monitoring the road overhead through small openings.
Makalu Peak is extrely steep; the best path up and down is this road; other areas can only be traversed by professional climbing teams with specialized equipnt, otherwise, even masters cannot climb it.
Therefore, the Elder would definitely use this path to descend.
Su Lie was not with Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling; he was concealed in another location, providing a distant support. If anything unexpected happened to Song Xiaodong, he could assist promptly.
The two had been waiting here for more than three hours, and although the snow den blocked the winds, the outside temperature had dropped to over minus thirty degrees, making it frigid.
Even though they wore heavy clothing and had True Qi inside, they could resist the cold for a short period. However, staying here for an extended period would beco unbearable.
Chu Xianling rubbed her face with both hands and softly said, “Xiaodong, maintaining vigilance requires True Qi to counteract the cold, which expends a lot of True Qi.”
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Indeed, it consus a lot of True Qi, but we can’t expose ourselves by moving around outside for warmth; it would give away our position.”
Chu Xianling said, “I understand. I just hope he cos sooner so we can ambush him in our best condition.”
Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, “We’ll just have to rely on our luck now.”
Honestly speaking, Song Xiaodong’s luck has always been good, and this ti was no exception.
After about an hour, two figures appeared, descending from the mountain.
Despite the icy terrain, these two moved quickly, essentially jumping from one spot to another, utilizing their exceptional skills to save ti descending.
Chu Xianling said, “It’s really two people?”
Song Xiaodong said, “No problem, there’s only one Elder. The other one should be a protector, given the disparity in their abilities, that one probably hasn’t reached the third ridian of True Qi.”
Chu Xianling said, “Then it’s about the sa as us; how are we supposed to ambush them? This deviates sowhat from our plan.”
According to Song Xiaodong’s intel, the Elder from Dark Night Sect was coming alone, but now there’s an additional protector. Although protectors are not weak, they are also experts in Two ridians True Qi, and Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling are only experts in Two ridians True Qi too.
