At night, there was no one in the Heavenly Blade Arena. It was quiet.
Ever since the owner of the arena, Mi Qingqing, left with all the people, this large area had been left empty. No one dared to touch it.
It was a mess, showing a sense of decadence and bleakness.
Lin Xuan, wearing a black iron helmet, leisurely strolled in the empty arena. As he drank, he recalled all the hustle and bustle of the past. He was quite sentimental.
Ever since he came to this world, he had seen many wonderful things and changed the life of many people. Some were good, some were bad.
This made him feel a little complicated, because he felt that his interpretation of fate was becoming more and more vague.
Gradually, he came to Old Guan's small courtyard.
There was a dim light in Old Guan's room, which was the only source of light in the entire area.
He listened carefully and faintly heard the sound of a low argument coming from inside.
"Cao Shijie! I, Mu Qingning, am in charge of this matter from the beginning to the end. I don't need you to tell me what to do! "
"Hahaha! Mu Qingning, you can't even keep a True Energy Realm ant under control. Before the big event, you let him run around. I seriously doubt your ability! I don't trust you with this matter! "
"It's useless if you don't trust me. I, Mu Qingning, know what I'm doing. You'd better go back to where you came from!"
"That's not up to you! This time, I'm here on Master's orders to assist you in your mission! I have to be involved in this matter! "
"Hmph! Cao Shijie! You're not here to help. Your real intention is to get your hands on those things, right? I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything, don't blame me for being ruthless! "
"Hehe, Mu Qingning, I don't have any feelings for you … Who's outside?"
Lin Xuan wanted to eavesdrop for a while, but the person inside was very alert and had already noticed him.
He didn't mind, and walked into the room openly.
"Yo, it's pretty lively tonight!"
Lin Xuan looked around and saw that other than Mu Qingning, Old Guan, and Zhao Xiaodao who were standing in the corner, there was also a dignified man with a gloomy face.
That person was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His eyes were deep, and he was full of strength. He sat at the head of the table, revealing traces of domineering aura. At first glance, one could tell that he was the kind of person who had been in a high position for a long time.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xuan, but no one said a word.
Facing everyone's gazes, Lin Xuan smiled and casually sat down. "I'm back. What plans do you all have? Let's talk about them."
"You're Lin Xuan?"
The young man's eyes were like two scorching suns, shining on Lin Xuan's body, making it impossible for others to look at him directly.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "That's right. Who are you?"
The man said coldly, "Keelung Sect, Tenshou's Bachelor Sage, Cao Shijie!"
Lin Xuan gave a fist salute and said calmly, "Excuse me, Bachelor Sage Cao. What can I do for you?"
Cao Shijie's eyes flashed. Suddenly, a majestic aura was released from his body, enveloping Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan could not help but freeze, and his face turned slightly pale.
A God Astral Realm expert!
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Cao Shijie looked down at him and said in a low voice, "No advice, only orders! Lin Xuan, a small fry should have the self-awareness of a small fry, especially in front of a powerhouse. You should know how to show respect! From this moment on, all of your actions will have to be approved by me, or else … "
"Or else what? Do you dare to kill me? "Lin Xuan sneered.
"Hmm?" Cao Shijie's face suddenly turned angry. "What did you say?"
Lin Xuan stood up and took a few steps forward, standing in front of Cao Shijie. He looked at Cao Shijie fearlessly and repeated, "I said, if I don't listen to you, do you dare to kill me?"
At that moment, he was a little annoyed. This guy had come up with such a move. It seemed that he was used to being domineering.
It was obvious that the other party wanted to show him who was the boss. He wanted to control him so that he could lead the plan.
However, Lin Xuan did not ask for anything from the Keelung Sect. Instead, it was the Keelung Sect that asked him to do something. There was no need for him to lower his head.
Compared to this overbearing Cao Shijie, whom he did not know anything about, Lin Xuan felt that it was better to deal with Mu Qingning.
Cao Shijie's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He sneered, "You think I don't dare?"
Boom!
He did not make a move, but Lin Xuan suddenly flew backward as if he had been hit by a heavy blow. He smashed a table into pieces and fell into the corner of the room.
"Hehe."
Lin Xuan climbed up with a smile. He patted the dust off his body indifferently. This bit of strength was not even enough to make him spit out blood.
He smiled mockingly at Cao Shijie. "It seems that you really don't dare to kill me. Then please, don't show off in front of me. To be honest, I don't like it. "
"You!" Cao Shijie could not help but be angry. He wanted to teach Lin Xuan a lesson again.
"Enough!"
At that moment, Mu Qingning spoke up to stop him. She sneered playfully, "Cao Shijie, if you don't dare to kill him, I suggest you put away those little tricks. They won't help our plan at all."
Cao Shijie's eyes flashed with anger. In the end, he retracted his aura and sat down.
At that moment, he could see that Lin Xuan was a small character. It was not easy to control him. He could only settle for the next best thing.
He said with a gloomy face, "You made the plan. I won't interfere. However, I have to be a part of it. This is non-negotiable!"
Mu Qingning frowned and thought for a moment. "Now that the situation is urgent, I can only find two suitable replacement targets. If you want to be a part of it, then think of another way!"
"Hmph, what's so difficult about that? I can handle it myself! "
Cao Shijie snorted coldly. He got up and walked out. Before he left, he smiled at Lin Xuan. He did not hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
Lin Xuan sneered. He did not care that Cao Shijie was not far away. He said to Mu Qingning, "This guy doesn't seem very reliable. He won't drag us down, right?"
Mu Qingning glanced at him indifferently and said, "You should stop before you go too far. He's not as simple as you think."
Lin Xuan poured himself a cup of tea and sneered disdainfully, "Your Keelung Sect is really troublesome. In the face of such a big matter, you still don't forget to fight among yourselves. How boring.
If not, how could the remnants of the Dragons clan be allowed to rise again? "
Mu Qingning sneered. She seemed to have some complaints about her own sect. However, she did not want to say too much to Lin Xuan. She said, "Alright, this has nothing to do with you. We'll be taking action tonight. Have you memorized everything?"
"I have no problem with that," Lin Xuan said.
"That's good!"
At that moment, a figure in black appeared at the door. He knelt down and said, "Holy Lady, target number one is carrying out an assassination mission. You can take action now."
Mu Qingning looked deeply at Lin Xuan. "It's your turn. You only have one chance. If you make a mistake, the time will be delayed until three years later. However, by then, it may not be your turn anymore."
Lin Xuan's gaze shifted. He nodded.
…
Heavenly Wolf City, Eastern River Pier.
An old, crooked tree grew at the entrance of a warehouse. The branches and leaves on the tree were lush. Under the moonless night, it was pitch-black.
A figure in black silently hid in the depths of the branches and leaves. It was as if he had become one with the night.
His eyes were indifferently fixed on the door of the warehouse, as if he was a hunter waiting for his prey.
He did not know that he was also the prey in the eyes of others.
