A master at the Eighth Realm Peak was assassinated in an unexpected attack by Chen Ku.
Although there was a significant elent of surprise, Chen Ku's unpredictable thods were also crucial for a swift victory.
In fact, Chen Ku secretly cherished the feeling of ambushing soone from behind.
After all, on his journey, especially early on, he often relied on such surprise attacks to resolve crises efficiently and safely.
"Next, Ning Ji the Taoist..."
At this mont, Chen Ku's Transformation Diagram displayed the nas of everyone with malicious intent towards him within a radius of Ten Li.
Within this radius, there were eight people in total.
Elder ng was already dead, and there were seven others left: Old Monster Wei, Ning Ji the Taoist, Jing Yuanzi, Chu Zhaoran, Granny Shu, Jiang Yufei, and Master Wu Jie...
The Transformation Diagram showed that these seven individuals, upon death, could provide the Evil Qi of the Eighth Realm.
Especially Jiang Yufei.
He was the Seventh Young Master of the Jiang Family, a top-ranking Dragon Abyss clan mber, ranked above Xu Fanfeng and Duan Qingxuan on the Genius List.
Since they intended to kill Chen Ku, Chen Ku planned to turn them all into Evil Qi to provide cultivation resources for his Green Dragon Transformation.
Elsewhere.
Old Monster Wei and the other six individuals who had a rendezvous with Elder ng all observed the White Scale Eagles nurtured by Elder ng being instantly slain by a Green Divine Eagle overhead.
"A Green Divine Eagle at Seventh Realm Peak? Who killed Elder ng's White Scale Eagle? Is there soone in Yan Capital rearing such an Ancient Mutant?"
Like Elder ng, the other five also suspected soone was ambushing Chen Ku outside the city, plotting to kill Chen Ku and monopolize the secrets of his Hero King Treasure.
This made them tense.
After all, the speed of the Green Divine Eagle was renowned even in Dragon Abyss, and none of these Eighth Realm Peak experts could easily catch up to it.
Thus, they instinctively felt that the person owning the Green Divine Eagle must have remarkable strength, possibly not a Ninth Realm master, but a top-tier genius ranked on the Genius List.
"Quick, ask Old Man ng about the Green Divine Eagle. He practices the Heavenly Bird Great thod; does he know any experts in Yan Capital rearing a Green Divine Eagle?" The five communicated using a dharma conch.
However, after Old Monster Wei asked through the dharma conch, there was no response for a long ti.
His expression changed.
He sensed sothing was wrong:
"It's not good; sothing seems to have gone wrong with Old Man ng. Quick, everyone, I think we need to et up and understand what's happening with Old Man ng..."
Having reached the Eighth Realm in age, their Jianghu experience becos instinctive at tis.
The other four, serious expressions on their faces, agreed:
"Alright, let's gather first and then see what's going on with Old Man ng."
After the others agreed, Old Monster Wei didn't delay and said, "Gather in the central forest."
This team of six was sowhat familiar with each other and had regular contact within Yan Capital, sharing a common mindset.
They hoped to seize the young's opportunities to prolong their lives, achieving rebirth and renewal.
Yet Chen Ku hadn't arrived.
A master at the Eighth Realm Peak, on their side, was suspected dead.
This made Old Monster Wei speculate:
"Could it be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? We six are hunting Chen Ku to divide his fortune, yet secretly there's another big oriole lurking."
This was not impossible.
After all, those in Jianghu often have enemies eyeing them, especially when they've established themselves with wealth and influence, creating conflicts with forces in the city.
Old Monster Wei quickly thought of several of his and Elder ng's adversaries.
"Is it the Sky Eagle Sect or Golden Wolf Sect!"
These two large sects in Yan Capital possess considerable power and Ninth Realm figures, maintaining conflicts with him and Elder ng.
"Regardless of who it is, we must first rendezvous with the other four and understand Old Man ng's situation; with five Eighth Realm masters together, even the Ninth Realm won't frighten us."
Fortunately, they weren't far apart and had agreed to et in the forest center; with Eighth Realm Peak prowess having undergone five Marrow Cleansings, it would take only half a cup of tea to cover the distance.
This was planned as an inescapable trap for Chen Ku, ensuring any detection of him could swiftly rally others.
Yet, as Old Monster Wei quickly approached the forest center.
