Chapter 126 Holy Light City Dojo
The wind and snow howled ceaselessly, staining an unknown expanse for miles outside Holy Light City.
A handsome young man stood tall upon the city wall, gazing in a certain direction for a long time before finally speaking, "Without a complete Sword Array, are you sure you can kill Princess Zi Ji?"
"Of course!" a middle-aged man beside him said confidently. "As long as that senior behind her is no longer present."
"What if he is?"
"If he is, Chong Tower’s Divine Kings will not act," the middle-aged man stated.
"You should have sent true assassins," Prince Qi said, lowering his eyelids, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
For some reason, he felt this ambush would fail.
The assassins he referred to were those within Chong Tower who truly cultivated Assassination Skills. They excelled at concealment and assassination, approaching silently and retreating with composure. Any Cultivator they targeted had no chance of survival. However, true assassins were too few, and the Assassination Skill was difficult to cultivate. Consequently, Chong Tower generally wouldn’t deploy them unless faced with a formidable enemy.
「After a long while...」
Two figures appeared on the snow-covered ground.
Seeing this, Prince Qi’s expression instantly darkened. She’s still alive.
The middle-aged man beside him also frowned. "This shouldn’t be," he muttered. "My Chong Tower has been observing her for a long time; that senior behind her departed long ago. Four late-stage Divine King Sword Cultivators should have been enough to kill her. Why is she still alive?"
