Chapter 2969: a.s.sa.s.sination Operation

When he heard fairy Hao Yue, Yun Wufeng finally responded. His eyes suddenly snapped open, except they were dim and gloomy.

It was as if the world no longer had anything he cared about anymore. All that was rooted in his heart was deep pain.

“What did you say? You’re little Yue’er’s friend? Do you have any evidence to prove that? And how is little Yue’er doing now?” Only when he mentioned little Yue’er did Yun Wufeng’s gloomy eyes light up slightly. His voice seemed rather urgent too.

Jian Chen obviously understood Yun Wufeng was referring to fairy Hao Yue.

“Fairy Hao Yue’s current situation is unknown. It’s rumored that she has already met a bad end. Senior, I can’t prove my ident.i.ty to you right now, but that’s not important. I better take you away from here first,” said Jian Chen. He had killed a great elder of the Moon G.o.d Hall. Who knew how long this matter could remain a secret for, so he needed to leave as soon as possible, just in case delays led to unexpected accidents.

“Little Yue’er has met a bad end too?” Yun Wufeng murmured. His eyes were filled with pain. When he saw that Jian Chen was about to cut through the Nether Ghost Vine, he immediately stopped him. “Don’t touch this Nether Ghost Vine. If you touch it, all the Chaotic Primes present in the Moon G.o.d Hall right now will immediately know. Back then when little Yue’er tried to save me, she was exposed exactly because she touched the vine.”

“How regrettable. I actually failed to sense that they had already tampered with the Nether Ghost Vine back then, or how would I have doomed little Yue’er?” Yun Wufeng’s face was filled with sorrow. He blamed himself for that.

“

Don’t you need a secret tablet to enter this place? Only Chaotic Prime great elders possess the secret tablets. How did fairy Hao Yue enter here?

” Jian Chen was curious.

“

Senior, fairy Hao Yue has a special ident.i.ty. She’s the daughter of the previous Moon G.o.d, so she’s more familiar with the Moon G.o.d Hall than anyone else. Apart from a few special, hidden forbidden grounds, there’s nowhere she can’t go in the Moon G.o.d Hall.

” This time, it was the sixth elder’s soul that relieved Jian Chen of his queries.

Jian Chen came to a realisation. Then he said to Yun Wufeng, “Senior, hold on for a moment. I’ll be right back.” With that, Jian Chen left abruptly.

“What are you trying to do?” Yun Wufeng clearly sensed a sharp light flash through Jian Chen’s eyes. As if he had realised something, he immediately became alarmed inside.

Jian Chen stopped and said, “If I want to save you, I obviously have to cut through the Nether Ghost Vine first, but with the unique characteristics of the vine, I won’t be able to cut through it in a short amount of time. They’ve tampered with the vine too, so the experts of the Moon G.o.d Hall will know as soon as I touch it.”

Cold light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. He looked back at Yun Wufeng. “Compared to waiting for the Chaotic Primes to rush over when they’re prepared, wouldn’t I be better off using the element of surprise to kill them while they’re unaware?”

“They’re the mainstay of the Moon G.o.d Hall. Sigh, so be it, so be it.” Yun Wufeng found this rather difficult to accept, but he soon recalled something and let out a long sigh. He said nothing more.

After leaving the Burial Moon Cavern, Jian Chen maintained his disguise as the sixth elder and made his way towards the central zone of the Moon G.o.d Hall.

“

There are a total of seven Chaotic Primes in the Moon G.o.d Hall, a late Chaotic Prime, three mid Chaotic Primes, and three early Chaotic Primes. The strongest among them all left the Ice Pole Plane many years ago, while among the three mid Chaotic Primes, one of them is Yun Wufeng and the other two aren’t present either. As a result, the three Chaotic Primes that watch the Moon G.o.d Hall normally are all early Chaotic Primes.

”

“

Apart from Hong Moqing, who is the weakest, a First Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, the other two are Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes

!”

“

They should both be in possession of a method of emergency contact. Once something significant happens, they can use that to contact the Chaotic Primes outside. As a result, when I kill the two of them this time, I need to do it like how I killed Hong Moqing. I need to use the Profound Sword Qi while their guard has not been raised. Only then can I stop them from contacting anyone, and it won’t cause any disturbances either.

” Jian Chen planned along the way and arrived where one of the great elders cultivated very soon.

The great elders of the Moon G.o.d Hall were not all gathered together. Every single one of them occupied a rather large s.p.a.ce as their own cultivation grounds. There was a very large distance between them, and they never interacted with one another normally.

As a result, this was instead convenient for Jian Chen to take them out one by one.

“Sixth elder, master is currently refining a cauldron of low quality G.o.d Tier pills. He’s specially instructed that no one is to disturb him.”

When Jian Chen arrived at one of the great elder’s cultivation grounds under the sixth elder’s directions, he was stopped by a middle-aged G.o.dking.

“I have something extremely important to report to the great elder. This matter is extremely urgent. I cannot allow for any delays,” Jian Chen said with the sixth elder’s tone. He appeared to be in a great hurry.

“This…” The middle-aged man outside was troubled.

“Dear disciple, bring the sixth elder in!”

At this moment, an old voice rang out from inside. The great elder had personally spoken.

“Sixth elder, please come in with me,” the middle-aged man immediately led Jian Chen inside. They entered a secret room in the end.

The secret room was clearly a place for refining pills. Flames surged out of the earth, and the entire room was extremely hot. In the centre of the room sat an old man in black clothes, with a huge pill cauldron before him. He concentrated on refining pills.

“Sixth elder, what do you have to report?” the great elder in front of the pill cauldron said. His eyes were glued to the pill cauldron, placing all of his focus on it, such that his guard was as low as possible.

Seeing this, Jian Chen immediately gave up on the plan to use the Profound Sword Qi. In the next moment, the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways silently appeared in his hand and erupted with blinding light, immediately slas.h.i.+ng towards the great elder’s head.

Everything had happened far too suddenly, and the great elder was concentrating on refining the pills too. He never expected the sixth elder before him to be someone else in disguise, let alone the fact that he would face an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt in the centre of the Moon G.o.d Hall.

The great elder’s face changed drastically. He no longer cared about the cauldron before him, lowering his head as fast as possible to dodge the lethal slash that could directly tear apart his soul.

However, Jian Chen’s slash was far too fast. When he slashed out, he even used the Laws of s.p.a.ce, such that the attack was like a bolt of lightning.

Coupled with how the element of surprise was on his side, the great elder was unable to dodge the lethal attack even when he unleashed everything that was within him.

Spurt!

The Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways conjured a cloud of illusionary stars and directly slashed through the great elder’s head.

With that, the great elder’s fate was set. His soul was destroyed under the powerful sword Qi.

As for his disciple, Jian Chen obviously had no plans on letting him leave here alive. He followed the footsteps of the great elder very quickly.

“

There’s just one left now.

” Having saved a strand of Profound Sword Qi, it was a great boost to Jian Chen’s confidence. He did not linger for a moment longer, immediately heading off to the last place.

Soon afterwards, the last great elder present in the divine hall had been easily slain by Jian Chen after using a strand of Profound Sword Qi.

Even though he was a Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime and his soul was stronger than Hong Moqing’s, there was no qualitative difference, so he was virtually incapacitated after withstanding a strand of Profound Sword Qi.

“

My Profound Sword Qi should be able to heavily injure the souls of Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes now, such that they’ll momentarily be incapacitated. As for the Fourth Heavenly Layer, I can heavily wound them too, but they’ll recover very quickly. The influence they face will be limited,

” Jian Chen thought. His Profound Sword Qi could not be blocked through usual means, so it posed a threat to all Chaotic Primes. They were just more resistant to it when they were stronger.
