Chapter 241 - Coverage

Xiang Yun recalled the time at Qingming Peak when he had hidden inside a cave and used the Turtle Resting Art to hide his presence. In the end, he was sent flying by Zheng Heshan, who knew what sort of accurate probing method.

Xiang Yun recounted this matter and said, "This matter caused me to constantly have doubts in my heart and have yet to come to a conclusion since. It was only the night before yesterday that my spiritual force broke through the divine altar and gathered the power of my spiritual will."

Lu Yongchang wore a surprised expression. He had not expected Xiang Yun to have already broken down the divine altar.

"This reminds me. Back in the camp outside the city, City Lord Lu gave me a set of armor as well as this item!"

Xiang Yun suddenly pulled out the map of the northwest border of Qin Feng City and threw it on the ground in front of him!

"Pa Pa Pa!"

After listening to Xiang Yun's narration, Lu Yongchang actually laughed and clapped!

Your Highness, it seems that I have underestimated you. I thought that you were just a business mind who was not good at scheming or plotting or anything like that. I did not expect you to be good at this.

"City Lord Lu, please speak!"

Xiang Yun smiled as he drank the last cup of wine in his cup, "Rather than cras.h.i.+ng head first into the dragnet set up by the City Lord, why don't we meet inside this Sunset Forest? Perhaps my chances of winning will be even greater."

"Face?" Lu Yongchang suddenly broke into a smile, "Does Your Highness want to rely on this Cloud Beast in the Silvermoon Forest to keep your life?"

Xiang Yun laughed without a word, but Lu Yongchang finally dropped the wine cup in his hands to the ground once more. The eight black robed Death Soldiers stood up at the same time!

"Your Highness, these eight are Death Soldiers that I have painstakingly nurtured for a long time. They are all at the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm, and there is also a Mystic Cloud primary stage expert. Do you still think you can win?"

Xiang Yun laughed coldly, "How would we know without trying?"

Lu Yongchang nodded and said, "That's fine, Your Highness, please try it. However, I don't want to see Your Highness' head fall on the ground with a ferocious look. I will take my leave first."

Finis.h.i.+ng his words, a trace of a cold smile actually appeared on Lu Yongchang's innocent face. He turned around and walked towards the stream. With his back facing the eight men in black, he waved his hand.

"Yes sir!"

The eight black clothed men simultaneously prepared to attack!

"Swift Gale Sword!"

"Swoosh swoosh swoos.h.!.+"

The moment Xiang Yun's fast sword was unleashed, even the black-clothed men could feel it. A wave of terrifying killing intent that was like a torrential storm came cras.h.i.+ng over them!

The eight black-clothed men were shocked, but they were not afraid. They all activated their cultivation techniques at the same time, wanting to use the cloud energy within their dantian to kill Xiang Yun!

However, in the next moment, astonishment appeared on their faces at the same time!

This was because their dantian, which used to be as rich as the ocean, was now completely silent. The cloud energy was like a frozen ice. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move it at all!

"What's going on?"

At this moment, the eight of them simultaneously raised their eyes to look at each other. Their first thought was if their companions would be able to attack first and block Xiang Yun's attack!

This sudden turn of events caused their hearts to feel even more terrified. For a moment, everyone wanted to retreat!

"Puff puff puff!"

In almost an instant, a sword light flashed and pierced through the air. Seven blood arrows sprayed out from the necks of the seven men in black!

The other black-clothed person was precisely the only expert of the initial Profound Cloud level amongst the eight. He actually extended his hand at lightning speed and grabbed Xiang Yun's longsword with his special glove, welcoming Xiang Yun's swift gale sword!

In the end, the black-clothed man's entire arm, because it did not have the protection of the clouds, was instantly twisted into a blur. However, the glove was extremely tenacious and it did not even break in the slightest.

However, before the man could escape, he suddenly felt a strong wind blow at his head. The man in black immediately looked up and saw a giant black sword that was like a mountain descending from the sky!

"Boom!"

Xiang Yun grasped the Wandering Dragon Sword in one hand and the Blue Profound Sword in the other. His hands moved at the same time as he stabbed the two longswords, one big and one small, into the ground in front of him!

With the power of thunder, Xiang Yun had instantly taken care of the eight black clad Death Soldiers!

All of these things happened too suddenly. The moment Lu Yongchang turned around, all eight of them lost their lives!

Staring at the young man, big and small, one black and one blue, two swords stabbed into the ground, and the young man standing between the two swords with a smile on his face, Lu Yongchang's face finally changed!

The corners of Xiang Yun's lips curled up in a playful smile, "Hehe, City Lord Lu, I was so focused on entertaining you that I forgot to tell you. I even added a precious medicinal ingredient into this wine!"

"What kind of medicinal herb?" Lu Yongchang asked with a cold expression.

"Hehe, this is the Yin Scale Poison that contains the essence of the Nine Poison Python!"

"What, Yin Scale Poison!" Lu Yongchang's eyelids jumped, and his facial expression kept changing!

Xiang Yun smiled brightly as he said, "This wine is truly aged wine. This poison is the poison of a General Level Shadow Scale Python, colorless and tasteless, without hurting anyone. It will only temporarily prevent you from circulating your cloud energy."

Having said so, Xiang Yun exchanged a glance with Luo Ning who was standing beside him. A look of amus.e.m.e.nt appeared in their eyes.

What everyone drank just now was a poisoned wine while what Xiang Yun drank was another jar of wine. This did not arouse any suspicion in the crowd, because Xiang Yun's ident.i.ty was such that he was already an exalted heir. Even if he did not drink the same pot of wine as Lu Yongchang and the rest, it was rather normal for him to drink the same wine.

The eight people on the ground were all trusted aides that he had secretly nurtured over the years. Not only were they all talented, they were all extremely loyal to him.

However, these people had been instantly killed by Xiang Yun in the blink of an eye. Lu Yongchang's anger could be imagined!

"Alright!"

"Your Highness, you are truly wise. You actually planned this long ago, and you are so decisive and ruthless!"

"Heh heh, you're flattering me, flattering me!" Xiang Yun said with a cold laugh.

"I gave them a chance. If they are willing to abandon their darkness today and catch you, the reward of ten thousand gold that I promised them just now and the promise of a good position will absolutely not be kept. It's just that they missed it themselves."

So it turned out that Xiang Yun's words just now were a profound mystery. A few words in the dark were words that incited and incited him!

A bright light flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes. He stared at the smiling and harmless young man in front of him, but a trace of coldness emerged in his heart!

At this moment, he suddenly felt that compared to this young man in front of him, he was far inferior!

The latter had been rumored to be a bully from a young age. He was lecherous, lazy, and stupid. He was a rotten piece of wood that couldn't be carved, a disgrace to the Xiang Family.

Even Lu Yongchang, who had been around him for such a long time, felt that this man was just like the rumors. He had never thought that he was the one who hid his abilities the most. So young and so heartless!

Suddenly …

If he allowed such a terrifying young man to grow up, the variables in the future would be even greater than that domineering royal father of his.

"Your Highness, I have to admit that I have set up a huge net in the Qin Feng City. I did all that I could to escape the eyes of the people outside. My plan was perfect, but I missed out on you!"

"But …" Lu Yongchang suddenly looked Xiang Yun in the eye and said flatly, "But you still won't be able to survive!"

As he finished speaking, the water curtain behind Lu Yongchang suddenly burst open. The water in the stream, accompanied by the snow on both sides of the river, suddenly burst apart like a sky full of fire trees and silver flowers!

In the next moment, a huge fiery red figure suddenly emerged from the stream. It was a gigantic python that was completely fiery red and as thick as a water tank. Beside the python, there was also an enormous sarcoma that was agitated.

"Mysterious Fire Double Headed Python!"

The moment Xiang Yun saw this Scarlet Python and its pair of blood-red eyes that were filled with a violent aura, he immediately thought of the Profound Fire Double Headed Python that had almost taken his life several times before!

Back then, the head of the Profound Fire Double Headed Python had been severely injured by Xiang Fei, and from the looks of it, that head had already been destroyed.

This Black Fire Double Headed Python seemed to be badly damaged, but Xiang Yun had noticed that its body was several times larger than before. Its aura was actually much stronger than before, and it was most likely a general level Cloud Beast.

"Your Highness, you have guessed it right. I have indeed tamed this Black Fire Double Headed Python."
