Qin Wentian went alone to look for Hua Xiaoyun because the Thousand-Jue Alliance told him that Hua Xiaoyun only had an Initial Heavenly Dipper Sovereign as his bodyguard. If that was the case, his Puppet would still be able to stall for time.
As for Hua Xiaoyun, Qin Wentian could deal with him himself.
Naturally, Qin Wentian didn't know that the reason why Hua Xiaoyun came to the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent was because of the assassin who wanted to assassinate him.
Hua Xiaoyun also didn't know that the moment he stepped into the Eastern Region, he had already been targeted. Not only that, the assassin had already informed Qin Wentian.
Both of them wanted the other to die, yet they didn't know the danger they were facing.
When Qin Wentian stepped out of the White Deer Institute, there were already people watching him. On the streets, a horse carriage was slowly moving forward. The driver of the carriage looked extremely ordinary, and his head was lowered as he slowly drove the horse carriage forward.
Qin Wentian didn't even notice the existence of a horse carriage. In the streets of the Moon Continent, it was simply too ordinary. Not only that, the carriage wasn't eye-catching at all. It was moving slowly, far away from him, and wouldn't attract any attention.
But at this moment, beside the driver of the horse carriage, a silhouette could be seen. This silhouette had an ancient sword strapped to his back and wore a silver-white mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.
The driver of the horse carriage acted as though he didn't see the silhouette, and continued to drive the horse forward. However, the silhouette also quietly followed behind, neither hurrying nor slow, maintaining the exact same posture as the driver.
"This is my mission." The coachman suddenly raised his head. A sharp gaze flashed across his eyes as he glanced at the silver-masked figure with the ancient sword on his back. His voice was directly transmitted into the other party's ears. Then, he lowered his head and continued driving.
"I know." The silhouette lightly nodded.
"If you know, then do what you need to do." The driver of the horse Coldly spoke. As a colleague, he quickly recalled who the silhouette was.
Silver Snake was the same as him, an assassin hired by the Shadow Pavilion. He had the same level of authority as the driver of the Hall of Missions, and could accept missions on the fifth level of the Hall of Missions.
Silver Snake's cultivation base was only at the peak of Yuanfu. Originally, he didn't have the qualifications to have such a high level of authority. However, he had once completed an extremely shocking mission and successfully assassinated a heaven-shaking character.
"I won't ask for your reward," Yin She said calmly.
"But you have to listen to me. Don't be in a hurry to act."
"If we follow them for too long, they'll notice us sooner or later. When it's about time, we can make our move," the driver said calmly.
"No, wait. Wait for him to find your helper. That way, you'll have one more helper," the silver snake continued as if it had seen through everything.
"Helpers?" The coachman's voice was a little hoarse. His helpers were all in the carriage.
"Don't worry, I've already investigated clearly. If I'm not mistaken, your employer has arrived. Right now, he's going to find your employer. When they make their move, you can make your move. That will be the best time. As for the employer's life or death, what does that have to do with you?"
Yin She's voice caused a chill to run down the coachman's spine. Although the Shadow Tower wouldn't hide the mission details, they would still keep the identity of the employer a secret.
How did Yin She know who the employer was?
Not only that, Yin She seemed to want to make use of the employer as well, so that he would have a better chance of completing the mission. If that was the case, could it be that Yin She had a personal grudge with this fourth-ranked Grandmaster?
Who was this Yin She?
However, he wasn't worried that Yin She would lie to him. Silver Snake's cultivation base was at the ninth level of Yuanfu. If he wanted to kill Yin She, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
… …
In an inn located in the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent, Hua Xiaoyun was currently enjoying his wine. At this moment, a joyous smile could be seen on his face.
The revenge for his severed arm should be coming soon. The assassins of the Shadow Tower would definitely not disappoint him.
Raising the wine cup in his hand, Hua Xiaoyun drained it in one gulp. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he stared at the person in front of him.
Only to see that in front of him, there was a young lady clad in a red dress. She was extremely beautiful, exuding an aura of transcendence. With a single glance, one could tell that she was the daughter of a major power, exuding an aura of elegance.
This young lady seemed to have sensed his gaze, as she inclined her head and glanced at Hua Xiaoyun. Her gaze caused Hua Xiaoyun's heart to pound as he silently mused, "What a beauty."
The young lady's snow-white skin was as soft as snow, as though it could be broken by the slightest breeze. With a single glance, one could tell that this young lady's figure was exceedingly exquisite. Her red lips further enhanced her beauty.
"Which clan does this young lady belong to in the Moon Continent?" Hua Xiaoyun mused. If there was such a young lady in the Moon Continent, she definitely wouldn't be a nameless nobody. Not only that, based on her demeanor, she seemed to be from a major power.
Although Hua Xiaoyun was a silkpants, he still had a discerning eye.
When the young lady saw Hua Xiaoyun staring at her, an expression of unhappiness involuntarily flickered in her eyes. Her slight frown caused Hua Xiaoyun's heart to palpitate with excitement.
"My name is Hua Xiaoyun, how should I address you?"
Hua Xiaoyun clasped his hands in greeting, only to discover that he only had one arm left. His heart couldn't help but ache, and he could only smile and nod his head to the young lady.
The young lady unhappily stared at him as she coldly stated, "The second generation of the Hua Clan has already lost an arm, yet you're still so dishonest?"
Hua Xiaoyun's countenance stiffened as his countenance turned incredibly ugly.
"I'm just asking nicely, yet Miss dares to insult me?" Hua Xiaoyun coldly stated, "I wonder which clan's young lady dares to be so arrogant?"
"Shu Ruanyu." The young lady replied, causing Hua Xiaoyun's countenance to stiffen as a name appeared in his mind. He involuntarily laughed, "Oh, so it's Miss Shu. I heard that Miss Shu is about to be engaged to Brother Yang.
Congratulations. "Shu Ruanyu was the golden daughter of one of the major clans in the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent, the Shu Clan. Regardless of beauty or talent, she was extremely outstanding.
A few days ago, the Star-Seizing Manor wanted to find a partner for Yang Fan, and Yang Fan had fallen in love with Shu Ruanyu. The Star-Seizing Manor personally proposed to the Shu Clan, and they were naturally overjoyed.
The Heaven's Chosen of the Star-Seizing Manor, Yang Fan, to the Shu Clan, was undoubtedly someone of a higher status than them.
Naturally, Shu Ruanyu herself was also extraordinary. She had already stepped into the eighth level of Yuanfu at the tender age of twenty-one, which was also an extremely outstanding achievement.
Shu Ruanyu continued to ignore Hua Xiaoyun. Hua Xiaoyun had an awkward expression on his face, but he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
Now that his status in the Hua Clan had dropped, even Yang Fan's fiancée was in front of him, he had to admit that he was inferior.
Especially when he saw how Shu Ruanyu looked down on him, he wanted nothing more than to trample on her mercilessly. Sadly, he wouldn't have such an opportunity, and could only fantasize about it in his heart.
At this moment, outside of the inn, a silhouette clad in long robes was leisurely strolling about, attracting the attention of many in the crowd.
Because this silhouette didn't seem to exude any aura of life. His countenance seemed to have a metallic sheen to it, and his eyes were as sharp as swords, yet they didn't seem to belong to a human.
It was as though he was a Puppet.
"There seems to be one there as well." A person walked to the side of a Puppet, and involuntarily turned his head to look in that direction. There was another Puppet there, but strangely, it seemed as though someone had intentionally released this Puppet.
And in a wine shop opposite of Hua Xiaoyun's inn, a silhouette could be seen with his head lowered. He wore a conical bamboo hat, and no one noticed that in the centre of his brows, there was a glimmer of light, as though there was a third eye there.
This person was none other than Qin Wentian. After he obtained the location of Hua Xiaoyun's inn, he immediately came here. That third eye of his was currently glowing with a terrifying light, and abruptly, his perception expanded frenziedly. Not a single person's movements could be hidden from his eyes.
On the streets, silhouettes of people could be seen moving about, and from afar, a horse carriage could be seen leisurely making its way over. Beside the coachman, there was a masked man with an ancient sword strapped to his back.
"It's them?" Qin Wentian faintly felt that something was amiss. It was as though he had seen this horse carriage before, but he didn't pay any attention to it. And what made Qin Wentian even more puzzled was that he couldn't see through the coachman's cultivation base.
If he couldn't see through it, it meant that the coachman was a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.
As for the masked man beside the coachman, his cultivation base was at the ninth level of Yuanfu.
Within the carriage, there were three other people, and their eyes flickered with a terrifying light.
Something was wrong!
Qin Wentian instantly felt that something was amiss. It seemed as though this horse carriage was following him here.
"Bzzz!" Abruptly, a silhouette appeared beside Qin Wentian. It was none other than Qing 'er, and the instant she appeared, many in the inn cast their gazes over as expressions of shock and amazement flickered on their faces.
The young woman quietly sat beside Qin Wentian, and it was as though she could sense that there were people following Qin Wentian.
She wasn't good with words, so she didn't say anything. She knew that at this moment, she couldn't be too far away from Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's perception once again reached the inn Hua Xiaoyun was in. He saw Hua Xiaoyun, as well as his Heavenly Dipper Sovereign protector. He even saw Hua Xiaoyun speaking to an extremely beautiful young woman, but that young woman couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
"Mhm?" The protector behind Hua Xiaoyun furrowed his brows. He suddenly had a strange feeling, as though someone was spying on him. Yet, he had no idea where this feeling came from.
Could it be that someone extremely powerful was paying attention to him in the shadows?
Hua Xiaoyun was oblivious to this. He was currently staring at Shu Ruanyu, his eyes narrowed, and a lustful light flickered within them. It was as though he was thinking of something filthy.
"BOOM!" Abruptly, a white bolt of lightning blasted into his mind. Hua Xiaoyun's mind trembled violently as he groaned in agony, his countenance instantly turning pale.
"Young Master!" The protector seemed to have sensed something. Hua Xiaoyun roared in a low voice as he felt a terrifying bolt of lightning blasting into his mind. It was as though there was a terrifying primordial beast roaring at him, pressing down on his mind.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" Hua Xiaoyun's body was instantly drenched in sweat, and his countenance was as pale as a sheet of paper as he desperately tried to defend his consciousness.
"Junior was too rash, I don't know which senior I've offended." Hua Xiaoyun roared in a low voice as he felt a sense of impending death enveloping him. This kind of consciousness attack was definitely from a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign!
