CHAPTER 32
Double insurance
As the fog of the Flame Heart Fruit had already been completely contained, Tiger Chu decided to strike while the iron was hot. He immediately started to organize manpower and prepared to secretly mine the Fire Spirit Stone vein.
Once they returned to the courtyard, Chu Xingyun asked Shui Liu Xiang and Tiger Chu to stay somewhere else for a few days while he locked himself in the room.
"Five Poisons, oh Five Poisons. I didn't expect your Five Poisons Imperial Scripture to be of use at such a crucial moment." When Chu Xingyun recalled what had happened today, he had a feeling of disbelief.
In his previous life, he had a life and death friend named Five Poisons.
Just like his name, the Five Poisons cultivated poison arts, and his cultivation had already reached the Martial Emperor realm. As one of the ten great Martial Emperors, he possessed the rare Ten Thousand Poisons Blood Lizard Wu Ling, who loved to devour poisons to cultivate his poison arts.
The Five Poison Imperial Scripture that Chu Xingyun mentioned earlier was precisely created by Five Poison.
In the past, when the Five Venoms created the Five Venoms Imperial Scripture, he had always dragged Chu Xingyun to have Chu Xingyun comment on it. After coaxing and pestering, Chu Xingyun had no choice but to read through it.
It was also because of this that he had an extremely deep understanding of all poisons in the world. Almost at a glance, he could identify poisons and think of ways to resist and neutralize them.
Yan Du's poison techniques may be one of the best in West Wind City, but for Chu Xingyun, it was not even at the entry level. It was impossible for him to harm him in the slightest.
"Yan Du heard everything I said in the mine," Chu Xingyun murmured to himself. "Now, all I need to do is wait patiently." With that, he closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.
At the same time, in a hidden wooden house.
Chu Pingtian and the others gathered there. Compared to last time, they were all overjoyed this time. They were very excited.
"This Chu Xing Yun has finally come out of his closed-door training. Moreover, he discovered the precious Fire Spirit Stone Vein as soon as he came out of his closed-door training. Isn't his luck a bit too good?" Second Elder's eyes lit up when he mentioned the Fire Spirit Stone Vein.
Back then, before Chu Xingyun inherited the position of Patriarch, the Chu Clan's mining business was managed by the Second Elder.
He was very clear about the value of a Fire Spirit Stone Vein. If he could obtain it, coupled with the cooperation with the Hundred Treasures Tower, the Chu family could return to its peak in a short period of time!
"With the sudden appearance of the Fire Spirit Stone Vein, Chu Xingyun will definitely mine it at full speed in order to prevent any accidents from happening. As a result, most of our clansmen will leave Chu Town. The day for us to act has finally arrived." The Third Elder's face was also filled with excitement, as if he could already see Chu Xingyun's tragic death.
"It's too early to be happy." Chu Pingtian poured a bucket of cold water on them. Everyone stopped laughing and looked at him. They didn't know what he meant.
"According to reliable sources, after Chu Xingyun returned to the Chu Clan, he asked Tiger Chu and Shui Liu Xiang to leave. He locked himself in his room. Don't you think it's strange?" Chu Pingtian asked.
"Chu Xingyun values Tiger Chu and Shui Liu Xiang the most. It is strange that he asked them to leave. Besides, he just came out of closed-door training. It's not realistic for him to start closed-door training again." The Second Elder also felt strange.
"Could it be that this Chu Xing Yun knows that we want to kill him, so he purposely set up a trap for us to walk right into?" The Third Elder said in shock. The excitement from before was nowhere to be seen. Instead, his face was somewhat pale.
Chu Pingtian paused and said, "There must be something behind this. If we act now, it will be too hasty. We should investigate more and know our enemy."
"Okay!" Everyone agreed with Chu Pingtian. This matter had a great impact. It was related to the position of the Chu Clan's leader. Nobody dared to be careless. They had to be confident.
Time passed slowly in this tense atmosphere.
A day passed, but there was still no movement from Chu Xingyun's courtyard.
Two days passed. Nothing changed. Almost nobody went in or out of the courtyard. It was quiet. There wasn't even a light at night.
"We can't let this go on!" The Second Elder and the Third Elder stood up at the same time. They couldn't wait any longer. They had wasted two days. They felt like they had missed a great opportunity.
The crowd had their own opinions. If they had made the decision to act, they might have succeeded by now.
Chu Pingtian started to doubt his own judgment. Now that he thought about it, they were in the dark while Chu Xingyun was in the light. Everything was hidden perfectly. It was impossible for anyone to find out.
"He's only a youth at the fifth layer of Tempered Body. No matter how profound his methods are, his strength is still too weak. I only need one move to kill him." At this moment, a cold voice filled with confidence sounded out.
In the corner, a cold-looking man in black walked out.
He was short. He had a pair of triangular eyes. Cold light flashed in his eyes. When he spoke, there was no expression on his face. It seemed that he was used to killing.
This cold-looking man was an assassin hired by Chu Pingtian. He was in the Third Sky of Spirit Gathering Realm. He was even stronger than Chu Pingtian. He was good at assassination.
"Okay. Let's start tonight. Kill Chu Xingyun." Chu Pingtian's tone turned cold. He looked at the Second Elder and said, "Second Elder, you should act as well. It's double insurance. You must kill Chu Xingyun."
The second elder nodded. His cultivation level was at the first sky of Spirit Gathering Realm. With two Spirit Gathering Realm experts, even if Chu Xingyun really had an ambush, they would be able to kill him as long as they had the chance.
As long as Chu Xingyun died, the entire Chu Clan would be under their control again. No matter if it was the wealth or the precious cultivation resources, they would all belong to them!
Time flew … But it felt like the night had come much later.
Chu Xingyun left the inner space of the reincarnation stone. At the moment, his hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that he didn't have a good rest.
"Now, only Yan Du is left." Chu Xingyun smiled. He changed into clean clothes and went to the yard. He sat on the fake mountain and waited quietly with a flagon in his hand.
As the night deepened, the fragrance of wine that permeated the courtyard also became increasingly mellow and fragrant.
Chu Xingyun put away the flagon and looked to the side. He sneered, "You have been hiding for so long. Aren't you tired?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound came from there.
Yan Du dashed out in black. He looked at Chu Xingyun with a complicated expression. It turned out that Chu Xingyun had guessed that he would come to Chu Town. However, he didn't say anything until now.
"So it's the renowned senior Yan Du. What business do you have for coming here so late at night?" Chu Xingyun's tone contained a hint of surprise, but his face remained indifferent.
