Chapter 1205 - 338: The Cloud Descending Sect Incident (Part 1)
The man lowered his eyebrows, sitting on the rooftop, with a hint of self-mockery and a smile on his face.
As for the woman, she slapped the man directly on the head. As the man covered his head and glared at her, she listened with a face painted in dark hues: "Big bro, can we be a bit more professional? Can you stop being an assassin on one hand and playing narrator on the other?!"
Well, this man was narrating himself.
The man awkwardly coughed, then pulled out four portraits, looking at each one carefully before finally saying, "The time has come, we can start now. Let’s confirm our targets one last time: Wei Yuan, Wei Jiunuan, Xun Xian, and Wei Ximo, four people in total."
He said it with a hint of reluctance.
What beautiful girls, killing them would be a pity, but there’s no choice — after accepting the commission, you have to come and kill.
Without killing, there’s no way to increase your strength.
Eventually, you’d even be hunted down by the Cloud Descending Sect itself.
The man said gloomily, "We’ve been killing in the Cloud Descending Sect for over thirty years; my heart is now harder than iron."
The woman dressed in black concealed clothing already wanted to kill the pretentious man beside her.
Woman: "Will you kill or not?"
Man: "Yes!"
Woman: "Then why so much chatter?"
Man: "..."
Woman: "If you can’t manage, just stand by and watch me do it. Then I’ll keep all the gold and silver for myself."
Man: "..."
Alright, the man stopped talking, his face gradually becoming grim. A dagger appeared in his hand, and he locked eyes on the distant Ascension Gate rooftop.
"Alright, we’ll act according to plan."
"You go from the first floor to upstairs."
"I’ll go from the ground floor to the first."
"Once we kill them, we need to leave."
Only then did the woman feel satisfied. These two assassins, so much drama, why? Just kill Wei Yuan and the others directly; it’s that simple. And now she very much wanted to see the despair in Yuchi’s eyes, watching their women killed, then holding their women and crying bitterly — that would be satisfying.
Hahaha.
Yuchi, prepare to collect your women’s bodies.
The two crouched low, preparing to jump towards the Immortal Robe Pavilion’s rooftop ahead.
Their plan was simple: to avoid drawing the city’s attention, they chose to poison.
First, poison directly, tossing some smoke-laced poison through window cracks, letting Wei Yuan and the others silently fade away.
But when they wanted to jump out, they suddenly discovered that something had pinned their shoulders, holding them immobile on the rooftop.
Man: "You’ve got to be kidding!"
Woman: "How can you still talk about me, what’s your deal?"
Both thought their shoulders were pinned by the other, which was incredibly frustrating. After all, some things need only be said once or twice; every time like this isn’t fun. But when they heard a stranger’s voice at their ear, their bodies shuddered violently.
"Good evening, you two." Yuchi said with a hearty laugh.
Man: "..."
Woman: "..."
The man looked right, the woman looked left, and both saw the cheerfully smiling Yuchi.
At first, they didn’t recognize Yuchi, only thinking a very powerful individual had suddenly appeared in this place. Could it be someone Yuchi sent for protection?!
But once they saw the radiant smile, their minds lost the ability to think.
"It’s him... "
"Our enemy, Yuchi."
This person was indeed Yuchi. They knew this person, but wasn’t he supposed to be a mere mortal? Why did he appear beside them, and even suppress their cultivation!? How could he suppress the two of them alone, when they were triple Core Formation Stage masters?!
Their hearts were profoundly shocked.
This utterly unforeseen event was actually happening?! Even with professional training, they didn’t know how to find words.
"Would you like to sit down and chat?"
Yuchi looked at the silent pair, smiling congenially, asking: "I think we could negotiate a solution. After all, we don’t want to jump right to blows. We’d rather find a result satisfying to both parties. What do you two say?"
"..."
Both were silent.
The man kept looking at Yuchi over and over, repeatedly wanting to convince himself he’d simply mistaken identity, that this wasn’t Yuchi. But each time he confirmed that it was indeed Yuchi — that signature half-hearted, non-smile expression, and those slightly composed, dead-fish eyes.
No matter how he looked, this was definitely honest Yuchi.
But why? Why was he able to directly pin them down, immobilizing them? No, this kind of thing, who can stand it? Who could have foreseen it? This incident isn’t just shocking or not shocking, it’s something that shouldn’t happen!
