Chapter 484: Chapter 207: A Sword from the West! (Subscribe Please)_3
Wen Renying suddenly covered her mouth, as if afraid her inner thoughts would spill out.
Tonight, it seemed she had discovered something incredibly significant.
"Demon Court, Bai Shen Sect, Duke Jingye of the Wei Dynasty, ’Hidden Dragon’... The Little Sword Immortal will definitely reward me handsomely!!!"
Excitement flashed across Wen Renying’s face.
She was about to stealthily sneak into the Zhao Family estate when she suddenly halted, her expression wooden as she stared at the end of the street.
— Remarkably, it was the Minister of Rites, Zhao Ruixiang!
"I knew my restless spirit must mean there’s a calamity, but I never thought it would be a calamity from my own lineage."
Zhao Ruixiang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Wen Renying with a playful gaze, "Might I ask, what is your identity?"
In an instant, a strange, inexplicable aura had enveloped the surroundings.
"Black Impermanence" Liao Ai??
Wen Renying secretly shuddered, her body softening as she spoke with a seductive charm:
"I am Wen Renying, Deputy Sect Master of Bai Shen Sect, greeting you, sir~"
"Bai Shen Sect..." Zhao Ruixiang examined her with slight surprise, "I never thought you were a demon soldier cultivated by our kin."
"I’m just not sure why you’ve sneaked into Kyoto Prefecture, infiltrated the Zhao Family, and followed me in secret to the Zhou Family, for what purpose."
Wen Renying quickly giggled, "I came to Kyoto Prefecture at the behest of the Sect Master, to assassinate the Buddhist prodigy."
After speaking, she paused, her thoughts racing, and explained, "Previously, I didn’t know your identity, sir, it was a bit bold~ I hope you won’t mind~"
"Assassinate a Buddhist prodigy?"
Zhao Ruixiang’s eyes flickered with thought, "The Demon Court requested the assassination of a Wei Dynasty prodigy, without specifically mentioning the Buddhist one..."
Wen Renying froze for a moment, what does this mean?
Could it be that the Demon Court did not arrange for Bai Shen Sect to assassinate the Buddhist prodigies?
Or, is this all privately arranged by the Sect Master...
With a thought, Wen Renying’s eyes darted around, tentatively asking:
"Sir, is there something wrong with assassinating a Buddhist prodigy?"
Zhao Ruixiang glanced at her, frowning, "Explain in detail!"
Wen Renying dared not delay, quickly replying:
"The other day, after my failed assassination of ’Little Sword Immortal’ Chen Yi, the Sect Master specifically ordered us to join forces with allies to assassinate the Buddhist prodigy."
"Top of the list was ’Great Void Buddha’ Fu Chen!"
Zhao Ruixiang’s brows knit tightly, his eyes growing ever colder as if a storm brewed on his face.
After a moment of contemplation.
Just as Wen Renying felt uneasy, Zhao Ruixiang finally gritted his teeth and spoke:
"I always knew that Zhou Guanwu couldn’t be trusted, but I didn’t expect he would dare to deceive the Demon Emperor!"
Wen Renying was momentarily stunned, "Sir, may I ask who Zhou Guanwu is?"
The name seemed familiar, but she couldn’t recall who he was at the moment.
Last name Zhou...
Could he be related to the previous Marquis Zhou?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruixiang fixed his gaze on her, scrutinizing, making Wen Renying feel uneasy all over.
"Sir, sir..."
Before she could finish, Zhao Ruixiang’s lips curled into a wicked smile.
"That Zhou Guanwu is your Sect Master of Bai Shen Sect, don’t you know?"
"Sect, Sect Master?" Wen Renying’s eyes showed fear as she said, "I truly didn’t know earlier~"
"It’s not too late to know now," Zhao Ruixiang smiled as he looked at her:
"But his identity has nothing to do with you, this is something I understand well."
Wen Renying forced a smile, "You’re right, sir~ I am devoted solely to Bai Shen Sect~"
Zhao Ruixiang nodded noncommittally, "Though it may have nothing to do with you, I cannot let you leave."
"What do you mean by this, sir? I don’t understand~"
Wen Renying felt a creeping alertness, while she tightened her grip on the Small Wooden Sword in her hand.
Zhao Ruixiang shook his head, sighing, "What a pity, it’s rare to find a Human Race fully inheriting the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox."
With that, he suddenly focused on Wen Renying, his previously slightly cloudy eyes turning jet black.
Two beams of black light shot from his eyes, silently piercing through the rainy night, as if to devour everything around, shooting straight at Wen Renying.
Wen Renying’s face changed dramatically, not waiting to think deeply, she threw the Small Wooden Sword in her hand, shouting anxiously:
"Help, sir!!"
The originally plain Small Wooden Sword seemed to sense the threat as it flew out, bursting with silver-white brilliance.
Soon after, a grand and magnificent silver-white sword light protected Wen Renying within, directly shattering the black beams from Zhao Ruixiang’s eyes.
At the same time.
The sword light diffused an unmatched Slaughter Sword Intent over a hundred miles, waking the nearby prominent families from their slumber.
They hurried to check—only to see a silver-white Longsword, ten feet wide and a thousand feet long, rising into the sky!
"What is this..."
Zhao Ruixiang frowned, surveying the sword light, his face a mix of suspicion and disbelief.
He looked at Wen Renying, protected by the sword light, and said coldly, "Well done, well done!"
"You dared to associate with Chen Yi, betraying the Demon Court!!"
Seeing the black beams shatter, Wen Renying couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, instinctively patting her chest as she said:
"I didn’t want to~ but sir wanted to kill me~"
Zhao Ruixiang seemed enraged, but he knew now was not the time to be caught up, as the demon energy in him expanded instantly.
The next moment, a voice like a deep sea echoed throughout Kyoto Prefecture:
"I wasn’t aware we had a distinguished guest visiting Kyoto Prefecture, apologies for the distant welcome, I beg your pardon."
Zhao Ruixiang’s eyes flickered, glancing north towards the Imperial City, and snorted coldly:
"Great Master is busy with important matters, I won’t disturb you!"
The owner of that voice was evidently Great Master Lin Zhongke of Kyoto Academy!
"Oh? I didn’t think Mr. Liao was such a well-mannered Demon King, it truly makes this old man feel ashamed."
"Why doesn’t Mr. Liao wait a moment, and come over to chat with this old man?"
