Chapter 309: Minds at Work
At the same time, across the entire Great Li imperial capital, within less than half a day, a piece of news from the Hidden Kill Pavilion had spread far and wide and was racing through the martial world at remarkable speed.
"The Hidden Kill Pavilion is about to move against that Eighth Prince. This may be an opportunity for us."
Inside a room of a certain residence in the capital, a figure sat behind a hazy gauze curtain, their true face impossible to make out.
Before the curtain stood more than a dozen martial world experts, several of whom anyone with knowledge of them would have recognized as former guests of the Second Prince Li Que's residence.
These were in fact the most powerful among the Second Prince's martial retainers, save for that old exile, and yet now they had concealed themselves and come to this secluded little courtyard.
The Azure Jade Scorpion King was among them, and it was he who had spoken first.
He raised his eyes toward the figure behind the curtain. The person emitted no martial pressure whatsoever, yet when he faced them directly, he felt a fear that rose from the depths of his very soul.
The Azure Jade Scorpion King understood clearly that whoever this was, their martial cultivation had to be at an extraordinarily terrifying level. That invisible aura had awakened something in his subconscious, a primal sense of danger.
Compared to whoever sat behind that curtain, even the old exile from the Second Prince's residence was in an entirely different league.
