Star City's City Lord Mansion.
In the main hall.
A scout reported, "City Lord, the target has appeared in Star City. Should we start Operation Crescent Moon?"
Star City's City Lord sat up straight on his high seat, his head held high and his chest puffed out. He wasn't angry, but he calmly glanced at the other side and said, "Carry it out. If you can succeed, I will give you a great merit. This is not a City Level Mission, but a Sect Level Mission. Do you understand the implications?"
The scout immediately became excited.
The difficulty of the mission and the reward were based on the rating. For example, the Operation Crescent Moon targeting Xiao Yang was the most difficult mission, but it was also a mission with rich rewards. It was also a mission issued by the Sect, so it was a real grand-level mission. If the scout's performance was satisfactory, he might be selected by the Sect and sent to the Sect, which was equivalent to reaching the sky in a single bound.
"Thank you, City Lord, we understand."
The scout hurriedly knelt down and thanked him gratefully.
The City Lord waved his hand and let him leave.
After the scout left, the left and right guards standing on the left and right of the City Lord frowned and said, "City Lord, rumor has it that Xiao Yang is not easy to deal with. Are we really going to let these scouts take action?"
The City Lord narrowed his eyes slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up. He said with a grin, "What do you know? There must be bait to test the size of the fish, right? "
Zuo Wei and You Wei immediately felt relieved, and a smile appeared on their faces.
It turned out that the City Lord did not expect them to succeed at all. He only used them as cannon fodder to test Xiao Yang.
"Star City has five first-rate families. Have they expressed their stance on this plan?"
The City Lord said indifferently.
Although he was the City Lord and the leader of Star City, in fact, he was still under the control of the five families and could not be lawless.
This time, the Sun Moon Star Sect had issued a mission, so of course they had to complete it.
The left guard said with a smile, "City Lord, the five families have already expressed their stance. They have each sent a sixth level Martial Ancestor Realm expert to cooperate with us and are now waiting for our orders."
"At least they know what's good for them. If they don't cooperate, once the mission goes wrong, they will have to bear the consequences."
The City Lord sneered.
"Alright, you guys go and supervise. See who exactly is Xiao Yang. He actually has such a great reputation. See if his reputation is undeserved."
The City Lord waved his hand and let the Left and Right Guards leave.
The two of them left the hall and headed in the direction of Xiao Yang's inn.
Behind them were five sixth level Martial Arts Grandmasters. They were from the Five Great Families of Star City.
Star Inn.
Chen Dalong and Chen Dahu had already gone out to gather information. Only Xiao Yang remained in the room.
Xiao Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, planning to recuperate.
Then, he immediately opened his eyes. Murderous intent swirled in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Someone came so quickly. How quick."
Yes, he had already sensed that someone had come with hostility.
He originally wanted to go to the Sun Moon Star Sect openly to ask for his pet beast. If the Sun Moon Star Sect refused, then he would cause trouble everywhere. With his physical body, Wu Zun, and his cultivation as a ninth level Martial Arts Grandmaster, no one could stop him if they did not want to face him head-on.
With such a terrifying Almighty causing trouble in the Sun Moon Star Sect's territory, the Sun Moon Star Sect would definitely not be able to tolerate it. In the end, wouldn't they have to obediently release the captive?
However, he did not expect that before Xiao Yang had even started to cause trouble, the Star City under the rule of the Sun Moon Star Sect could not wait to act. This was good. It would save Xiao Yang the trouble of finding a reason to cause trouble.
Before causing trouble, he had to find a reason for himself. Only when he stood on the moral high ground could he win the support of others and convince himself.
Xiao Yang blinked and the corner of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
"Since your Star City wants to cause trouble, then I'll start with your Star City."
Slowly rising to his feet, he narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.
Back when he'd saved his master's wife, Ling Long, he'd had to sneak in because he was too weak and didn't have enough influence. Now that he had both strength and backing, there was no need for him to fear anything. He could just go to the surface and settle his grudges as he pleased. At worst, the two sects would just go to war. The Poison Sect was no longer the Poison Sect of the past. Even if the Sun Moon Star Sect went to war, the Poison Sect wouldn't necessarily be afraid.
Fortunately, Chen Dalong and Chen Dahu had already left. Otherwise, they might have been implicated as well.
Thankfully, the Sun Moon Star Sect wasn't interested in them. They also didn't know about their relationship with Dragoness, so they wouldn't make a move against them for now.
In this way, Xiao Yang would have nothing to worry about. He would be alone in the enemy's territory. He could do whatever he wanted without any restraints.
The flames of war were in enemy territory. The bigger the fight, the more disadvantageous it would be for the enemy.
They're here.
Xiao Yang had already noticed two people coming up the stairs.
Xiao Yang had seen them before, but they'd only been hiding in the shadows.
This time, they'd come out in the open.
On the surface, it was hard to tell that they were enemies. They were dressed like travelers who'd come up to rest.
However, Xiao Yang was no longer the weakling he'd been in the past. No matter how well the enemy concealed themselves, he could still detect a trace of hostility and viciousness in the air.
Just as Xiao Yang expected, the two men threw a dart as soon as they passed by Xiao Yang's room. The dart instantly pierced through the wooden door and headed straight for Xiao Yang's face. If he was hit, his head would likely be pierced.
The dart was fast and fierce. With a whoosh, it reached Xiao Yang in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yang sneered. Did they think a dart was enough to deal with him? That would be a little too naive.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the dart with two fingers.
However, at this moment, the dart automatically disintegrated and released a yellow smoke. This smoke was not ordinary smoke, but poisonous smoke.
This poison was highly toxic. Even a Sixth Level Martial Ancestor Realm expert could only helplessly await his death once he was poisoned.
Viciousness, sneak attacks, and viciousness were the tactics of these spies.
In any case, they had never thought of defeating Xiao Yang head-on. Their cultivation levels were not high enough, so they were only good at using sneak attacks and sneak attacks that could not see the light of day.
"We got him."
The two men's proud and excited voices came from outside the door.
Then, they immediately pushed open the door to Xiao Yang's room and walked straight in.
"The outside world is abuzz with rumors that Xiao Yang is a lawless almighty. I thought he was great, but it seems that he's just so-so. See, we still got him."
