"Assassination?"
Everyone's faces turned grim.
To make a move during the inauguration ceremony was equivalent to putting one's life on the line. If things went wrong, they might very well be wiped out.
"Why did you choose this moment?"
The plump man asked in confusion. "Wouldn't it be better to launch a sneak attack at any other time?"
The inauguration ceremony was the most heavily guarded moment of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Was it really appropriate to make a move at this time?
"There are three benefits to it!"
The one who spoke this time was not the senior in the middle but the lady who had brought him here earlier. "Firstly, the inauguration ceremony is the most glorious moment of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. If we succeed now, the lie of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe will be exposed, and the hearts of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe will no longer be united. In fact, it might even lead to chaos!"
The plump man nodded in agreement.
It was true that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would be killed right after ascending to the top.
"Secondly, for the past tens of thousands of years, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has been ruled by the Three Sovereigns. Now that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has been ruled by a single person, there's bound to be a huge controversy. Even though the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe possesses overwhelming means and strength, it's still hard for others to believe in him.
The lady continued, "Isn't the reason why the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe is so hyped up by the new Sovereign Chen Ling? Making a move at this moment might seem dangerous, but it might actually be the safest option! "
"Safest?" the plump man was perplexed.
"Those Otherworldly Demonic Tribe members will surely be present during the inauguration ceremony. If they see someone making a move on the new Sovereign Chen Ling, not only will they not help, they might even cause trouble! That way, it'll be much easier than launching a sneak attack! "
The lady said.
"This …" The plump man was rendered speechless.
In terms of understanding of the human heart, he was far inferior to this senior of his.
Thinking about it this way, it was indeed possible.
Even if Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Ling were to die, there was no way they would be willing to submit to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Now that someone was here to cause trouble and prevent them from inheriting the throne, it was only natural for them to bask in the glory.
"As for the third option, allow me!"
The Senior standing at the center emanated a chilling aura that left one feeling as if one had been plunged into a glacier. "This morning, Ancient Sage Mo Ling and Ancient Sage Allfire, whom I was in charge of observing, left the capital in a hurry and vanished without a trace. The two of them are currently the strongest experts of the Spirit Race. As long as they are not here, our chances will be even greater! "
"The inauguration ceremony is about to begin. As the guardians, why did they suddenly leave?"
Fatty was puzzled.
"I don't know the exact reason, but I think it's to suppress the other rebellions so that the enthronement ceremony can go more smoothly …"
Harrumphing coldly, the Senior Sister continued. "Furthermore, I have heard that there will be a segment where the new Sovereign Chen Ling pays respects to the ancestors during the inauguration ceremony. During this segment, the new Sovereign Chen Ling will have to listen to the teachings of the ancestors, and he won't be able to extend his Spiritual Perception or drive his zhenqi. This is the moment when the new Sovereign Chen Ling is at his weakest. As long as he moves quickly, he should be able to succeed!"
"Since that's the case … I'll listen to your arrangements, Senior Sister!"
After listening to the analysis, the fatty nodded.
"That's good. Since it's decided, let's get ready!"
The Senior Sister stood up and placed her hands behind her back. "I know what you are thinking. Our teacher was forced by the Hundred Schools of Philosophers to accuse him of having ties with the Otherworldly Demonic God. In order to cleanse himself of the humiliation, he chose to end his life with Mingshi Tang. We all know that this is just a cover-up. However, his injuries are simply too severe, and it's impossible for him to recover within such a short period of time. With the inauguration of the new Sovereign Chen Yong, it's only a matter of time before the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe reunifies the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. We have to kill the new Sovereign Chen Ling as soon as possible! "
"This is the only way we can cleanse the humiliation our teacher has suffered and let Mingshi Tang and the rest of the world know that our teacher has never wavered in his determination to fight against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe! At the same time, our name will spread far and wide, and our teacher will be able to find us! "
Since we don't know where our teacher is, we'll just have to stand at the brightest spot so that our teacher can see us.
"We understand!"
These were the six direct disciples of Zhang Xuan.
They were Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, Zheng Yang, Wei Ruyan, Yuan Tao, and Lu Chong.
It had been more than two months since their teacher had committed suicide by Mingshi Tang. Fearing that something might have happened to their teacher, they had sneaked into the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe a month ago to gather information about their teacher. However, they had been unable to find any news regarding their teacher.
Knowing that the new Sovereign Chen Yong was about to succeed the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, they knew that it would be too late to make a move now. Thus, they had gathered here to discuss this matter.
"Since you understand, let's take a look at our strength!"
Zhao Ya nodded. "After our teacher left, Zheng Yang locked himself in the Hall of Spring and Autumn to cultivate. He has already reached Ancient Sage 1-dan Bloodline Continuance realm consummation, and his fighting prowess is on par with a Great Philosopher 2-dan. Am I right?"
"Yes!" Zheng Yang replied.
He had locked himself in the Hall of Spring and Autumn to cultivate frenziedly. Through his own hard work, talent, and fortuitous encounters, he had managed to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. Furthermore, he had spent nearly a year reinforcing his cultivation in the Hall of Spring and Autumn, allowing him to reach Bloodline Continuance realm consummation.
At the same time, his fighting prowess was on par with most Great Philosopher 2-dan experts.
"You and I will take the initiative!" After saying those words, Zhao Ya turned to another young lady not too far away and said, "Wei Ruyan has also reached Ancient Sage. While her fighting prowess isn't as high as Lu Chong's, she isn't too weak either. This is especially so for her proficiency in poison. Even the experts of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers would be poisoned to death easily!"
The young lady had remained silent all this while.
She was the student of Zhang Xuan who possessed the Innate Poison Body, Wei Ruyan.
Even though she had remained silent, everyone knew that she was the most fearsome one among them in a real battle.
"Un. I'll be in charge of holding down the others. If anyone dares to get close to me, I'll poison them to death.
If it comes down to it, I'll poison the entire city! "Wei Ruyan's face remained impassive, especially when she said that she would poison an ant to death.
She possessed the Innate Poison Body, and after receiving her teacher's heritage and the Bodhi Fruit, she had managed to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage a month ago. While she was not as strong as Zheng Yang, the poison aura in her body was still a formidable force to be reckoned with.
As long as anyone dared to get close, no one would be able to stop them.
"That's right. You'll be in charge of holding them back. As for Yuan Tao, you'll be in charge of defense. Right, when will your second Ancient Sage Ordeal come?"
Zhao Ya turned to the plump man and asked with a frown.
That fellow had attempted a breakthrough to Ancient Sage back in the Temple of Confucius, but he had been forcefully suppressed. Even now, his second Ancient Sage Ordeal had not appeared yet. In other words, despite his immense potential, he had yet to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!
