"Shu Xian?"
As soon as the three of them heard the name, they were confused.
'Why would Shu Xian come here?'
The Elder asked, "I thought Shu Xian knew that he was about to die."
Yin Shan nodded, "Yes, Elder. Someone in the Sect did tip him off about it. I thought Shu Xian would run away. He's pretty daring if he has decided to come here."
"Should I bring him here, Elder?" Jia Lei Shan asked.
The Elder thought for a moment and said, "Alright, bring him in."
Jia Lei Shan turned towards the guard and nodded his head.
The guard understood the instructions and went back to bring in Shu Xian.
"Let's first deal with this boy. Then we will continue with the discussion. There's still enough time for us to carefully plan everything." The Elder said as he stared at the entrance of the hall with a slight frown.
"I am more curious about the thing that gave this kid so much confidence."
…
Outside Jia Lei Clan.
Ye Tian Yun was waiting for the guards to come out with the response from their clan head.
'These people are leaving their aura all around. It wasn't hard to find them.'
Ye Tian Yun was feeling quite disappointed in the people who were supposed to kill Shu Xian.
It had just been a few minutes when he had entered the city.
It was indeed pretty calm, and the silver mist in the plateau made it look like there was no base below, just like the endless ravines in the Gracious Sword Sect.
If not for the few high trees that had grown below, it would have been hard to judge the depth of the place.
'This place seems like a nice vacation spot.'
But that's only the surface.
'The whole city is full of arrays.'
He felt the situation was more complicated than it looked.
'Who made these arrays? Is it from some other enemy? Or is it by the Third Princess of Wu?'
Quite a few questions were buzzing in his head.
Just as Ye Tian Yun was mulling over his thoughts, the guard came back from inside and replied to him with a respectful tone, "Young Master, Clan Head is waiting for you in the Main Hall, please follow me."
Ye Tian Yun nodded and followed the guard inside.
Though inwardly, he was a bit surprised, 'The first step went pretty easy. Now I only need to convince them to find out some important information about their plans.'
Earlier, when Ye Tian Yun first came out of the Gracious Sword Sect, he had actually planned to use the Devil Sect people to kill the disciples and hold back Peak Master Duan.
But once he went ahead and faked his death, he thought about changing the plan.
The situation had pretty much changed for now, and with most of the disciples dead, and only variable, Ye Tian Yun didn't need to waste his time with the Devil Sect.
The variable was, of course, Kai Yang. But Ye Tian Yun didn't give it much thought. He could kill that guy with a flick of his finger.
Then he could target Xiao Ming and get the Token Of Fate, as soon as their ambush plan began and Peak Master Duan got occupied with the Core Formation Realm guard beside the Third Princess of Wu, Wu Qingwu.
However, as soon as he stepped into the Silver Mist City, he had to make a few changes once again and combine his old and new plans.
The reason behind this was the number of arrays; most of them were the type that could block Qi, create poison dome, or even paralyze the enemy.
If Ye Tian Yun went in alone in this obstacle course, he would only waste a lot of his time.
'I need cannon fodders.'
And this was where the Devil Sect entered the scene once again, and Ye Tian Yun came to the Jia Lei Clan, where Devil Sect members were hiding.
"Clan Head, he's here." The guard's voice rang through the hall as he and Ye Tian Yun entered the room.
The first thing Ye Tian Yun saw in the hall was a middle-aged man sitting at a table in the center of the hall.
There were two more chairs, but they were surprisingly empty!
Ye Tian Yun's lips twitched and had to almost control his laughter, 'These old bastards, hiding behind curtains to make a surprise entrance so they can scare me.'
"Greetings, Senior Jia Lei Shan." Ye Tian Yun cupped his fists.
"You know me?" Jia Lei Shan acted ignorantly.
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "I am Disciple Shu Xian, from the Eastern Xin Branch."
"Hmm," Jia Lei Shan slightly frowned, "What's that?"
"I am a member of the Eighteenth Outpost." Ye Tian Yun added.
Only after hearing this did Jia Lei Shan's expression eased a bit.
But in the next instant, a flash of killing intent surrounded Ye Tian Yun, "Disciple Shu Xian, weren't you assigned in the Gracious Sword Sect? Why did you come here?"
Ye Tian Yun replied, "Senior, there's something important that is about to happen in this city. Thus I arrived as soon as I can to inform you about it."
Jia Lei Shan frowned, "I know what you're talking about. But Shu Xian, if you know about all this, I am sure you also know about your own fate."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and said, "Senior, I know that there are some sect seniors who have decided that I am becoming a hindrance, and it's better to kill me than take any further risks."
"Yet you have come here?" Jia Lei Shan asked.
Ye Tian Yun replied, "Senior, I have come here because I think it's not worth killing me."
"Oh?" Just then, an eerie voice replied, "What gives you the courage to think that?"
Ye Tian Yun's lips twitched once again when he heard these words.
'Oh my, I am so scared~.'
