Chapter 25 - 24 How Could the Dragon Rider Be Defeated?
Inside the carriage, Liu Chengshi's face was stern. He was aware that the person who could silently neutralize his guards without him noticing must be at least a Sixth Grade Martial Artist like himself.
To be honest, although Liu Chengshi is from the Liu family, his experiences and trials along the way were not less than others'. When he broke through to become a Sixth Grade Martial Artist ten years ago, he realized he had no more potential for progress in Martial Arts. As a result, he shifted his focus onto business and power.
However, even so, Liu Chengshi was considered a master among Sixth Grade Martial Artists thanks to his intermediate level of Martial Studies and skills. Gently picking up the long sword that was set aside, he slowly stepped out of the carriage.
However, when he stepped out and saw who was blocking the path of his carriage, his face suddenly changed.
...
It was a dark night with high winds, perfect for murder and arson.
Having sensed the Liu family's intent to strike at him, Pei Xuanjing naturally wouldn't sit around waiting for death. After Liu Chengshi left, he followed behind without any hesitation, sword in hand.
As for the departure of the Liu family's manager, Pei Xuanjing watched him go without trying to stop him. He even let him leave.
According to their plan, Pei Xuanjing would stay in the manor as bait to lure the Liu family into sending assassins, giving them an opportunity to counter-ambush their master.
Then, Pei Xuanjing would quietly leave and pursue Liu Chengshi, in order to eliminate this powerful figure from the Liu family and cut off a major arm of their power base.
