598: Chapter 592 Assassination 598: Chapter 592 Assassination That night.
The moon hung high, and the village was enveloped in darkness, most people had long since fallen into a deep sleep.
Ye Xuan was resting at the place arranged by Lady Zi Ying for the three of them.
With his soul power of Heavenly Realm Perfection, he didn’t need to rest continuously for several days; he just needed a brief rest now and then to replenish his expended energy.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide.
Although he was resting, his soul power perception still functioned.
Just then, he had sensed a streak of murderous intent.
It seed soone was approaching.
“Could it be that Fei Lian has sent soone to kill ?”
Ye Xuan sensed briefly, and indeed, soone really was lurking nearby.
In the darkness, there was a shadow, clearly a Shadow Demon highly skilled in stealth.
Unfortunately for them, they probably didn’t realize that with his soul power, this kind of stealth assassination was basically useless.
“Since they’re here, wouldn’t it be a pity not to play along?”
Ye Xuan’s lips slowly curled into a smile.
That guy was really impatient, not even able to wait a whole night before sending soone to assassinate him.
And as Ye Xuan contemplated, that blur of a shadow also quietly crept inside.
“Young man, you have only yourself to bla for offending Lord Chi Yi.
Go to hell and reflect properly.
A re slave making , a great lord, take action personally.”
Before the shadow could kill Ye Xuan, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his lips, and then his palm extended sharp claws and suddenly lunged toward Ye Xuan’s throat.
However, just when his claws were about to reach Ye Xuan’s throat, suddenly, a hand grasped his wrist, stopping his claws just one inch from Ye Xuan’s neck.
“You just ntioned Chi Yi?
Did Chi Yi send you?”
Ye Xuan was sowhat surprised, though not particularly shocked.
It wasn’t significant who these people were; he had just guessed wrong.
“You could actually discover , impossible, our Shadow Demons’ hiding skills are top-notch, plus your cultivation is so much weaker than mine, it shouldn’t be possible.”
The Demon Clan assassin still couldn’t believe Ye Xuan had seen through his stealth.
It was simply inconceivable.
No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free from Ye Xuan’s grip; even the magic power within him was suppressed, rendering him unable to move.
“There are so many impossibilities.”
Ye Xuan smirked, “Anyway, you are already in my hands, so why say so much?”
“What can you do to ?
An insignificant Human Clan slave, if you dare touch a hair on , it is a capital offense, understand?”
The Demon Clan assassin appeared fearless, on the territory of the Demon Clan, they could easily kill a slave from the Human Clan just by compensating the master slightly, but if a Human Clan slave dared to kill a mber of the Demon Clan, it was a sentence of death.”
“I originally didn’t want to kill you, but hearing you say that makes kind of want to.
Since no one will notice, and nobody will know it was .” Ye Xuan suddenly grinned, the smile slightly sinister.
“Kid, don’t do anything stupid.”
The Demon Clan assassin beca a bit panicked, “You have to know, I was sent to assassinate you.
If I die tonight, the biggest suspect will definitely be you, and you’d be exposed.”
“Hmm, you’re not low on intelligence.”
Ye Xuan was slightly surprised, “You do make a point, so I won’t kill you.”
“But you’ll need to do sothing for first if I am to spare you.”
“What is it?”
The Demon Clan assassin hesitated montarily but couldn’t help but ask,
“Once you get back, secretly put what’s inside this into Chi Yi’s drinking water.”
Reaching the level of a Demon Lord ant food was not necessary for several days, but drinking water was still essential.
“Is this poison?
Do you plan to poison Chi Yi to death?”
The expression on the Demon Clan assassin’s face turned ugly, as poisoning Chi Yi upon returning would most likely cost him his life too – no less dreadful than dying at the hands of Ye Xuan here.
“Relax, I’m not that cruel.”
Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand, “This pill won’t kill him; it just has so special effects.
If you don’t trust it, try it yourself first; I have more.”
“Forget it.”
The Demon Clan assassin quickly shook his head; he wasn’t that foolish.
“However, to ensure you don’t double-cross , you’ll need to take this pill.”
Ye Xuan took another pill from the Qiankun Ring and threw it to the assassin across from him.
“Don’t worry, you won’t die from this one.
As long as you complete the task, I’ll give you the antidote imdiately,” Ye Xuan said, his tone light yet undeniably firm.
With no choice left, the Demon Clan assassin swallowed the pill.
“Alright, go handle it.
Tomorrow I want to see the effects.”
Ye Xuan signaled that the other could leave and a mocking glint swept through his eyes.
The next few days would likely prove quite entertaining.
…
The next day.
There was notable excitent among the Shadow Demon Clan because Fei Lian, along with masters from the Fla Demon Clan, had arrived; the elites of both clans were set to compete.
Normally, this would have nothing to do with Ye Xuan, but since Lady Zi Ying had called him, he couldn’t decline; after all, she was currently his lifeline.
Still, Ye Xuan remained a bystander; the competition had nothing to do with him.
“Today marks the day of competition between the warriors of the Shadow Demon and Fla Demon clans – a fine tradition of our Demon Clan.
I hope none here shas the Shadow Demon Clan today.”
Lady Zi Ying sat at the main seat, her usual attire concealing her true face.
She looked at the strong mbers of the Shadow Demon Clan indifferently.
“Don’t worry; in the Fla Demon Clan, there’s no one but Fei Lian that I, Chi Yi, fear.”
Among the young elites of the Shadow Demon Clan, Chi Yi had a confident expression.
“Good, then I’ll look forward to your performance.”
Lady Zi Ying nodded.
Though Chi Yi often failed to catch her eye, he was indeed the standout among the young warriors of the Shadow Demon Clan.
“Brother Chi Yi’s strength is formidable; surely he’ll seize the top position in this competition, unmatched by anyone.”
Ye Xuan suddenly interjected.
“Oh?
Then I’d really appreciate your auspicious words.”
Chi Yi was sowhat surprised; why had Ye Xuan suddenly changed his attitude?
Did he intend to curry favor with him?
Too late.
He wouldn’t easily forgive Ye Xuan now, especially since Fei Lian had offered him considerable benefits to take Ye Xuan’s life.
Yesterday’s event, where his assassin reported a failed attempt on Ye Xuan, who was protected by Lady Zi Ying, infuriated him even more.
Why would Lady Zi Ying value a human slave so highly?
Could it be that this lowly slave had already won Lady Zi Ying’s favor?
