Chapter 2568: Killing San Shouwang

In that case, Ill be frank.

Under Situ Yuans expectant gaze, Jian Wushuang scratched his nose and slowly said, My intention is simple. I want to kill San Shouwang and replace him!

Kill San Shouwang and replace him Jian Wushuang made it sound so casual like it was such an easy matter. However, it was like a blockbuster bomb going off in their minds to Situ Yuan and the Elders.

Situ Yuan and the Elders were flabbergasted as they turned to look at Jian Wushuang in horror.

Mr. Jian Yi, are you joking? Situ Yuan tried to remain calm.

I certainly dont have time to crack such a joke. I want to kill him and will need a little help from the Situ Clan of course. Jian Wushuang smiled.

I wonder what Mr. Jian Yi wants us to do? Situ Yuan asked.

I dont need the Situ Clan to get publicly involved or be present in the fight with San Shouwang. Ill handle him by myself. However, the Official Army under him is such a nuisance, said Jian Wushuang in a low voice.

I know the Situ Clan is well connected and has good relationships with the army commanders and captains. I need the Situ Clan to send the Official Army away from the Northern Darkstar Continent. You can perhaps assign them some tasks in the wilderness or get them to solve some obstacles far away. In short, I dont want to be interrupted by the Official Army when battling San Shouwang.

Thats impossible. Situ Yuan shook his head. The Situ Clan is indeed close with some of the army commanders and captains. However, our relationship bonds arent enough for us to get them to do anything or assign them a task elsewhere. Theres no way wed be able to send them away from here.

Well, if there is a will, there is a way. Why dont you give it a try? Jian Wushuang smiled faintly. I can give you some time to consider. Ill come back tomorrow for your decision. Let me tell you that youll only have one chance. If you miss it, there wont be next time.

Xiner, lets go.

Jian Wushuang left without turning back.

After they left the Situ Mansion

Mr. Jian Yi, dont you think youre a bit crude? Xiao Tiexin looked over.

Crude? Its a simple matter so theres no need to beat around the bush. Jian Wushuang smiled.

True. Xiao Tiexin nodded. However, youre going to kill San Shouwangthe Northern Darkstar Continents Territorial Lord. Im afraid the Situ Clan doesnt dare to help you.

No, theyll help me. Jian Wushuang gave a confident smile.

Why do you think so? Xiao Tiexin asked in puzzlement.

Because they have no choice. Jian Wushuang looked extremely confident. He did not explain further and left right after.

At the Situ Mansion in a magnificent meeting room.

A heavy restrictive shield covered the entire meeting room. Situ Yuan and the Elders were seated while donning extremely solemn expressions.

Fellow Elders, what do you think about todays affairs? Situ Yuan asked.

What else could we think? Kill San Shouwang? Jian Yi must be crazy. Who does he think he is? A red-haired elder curled his lips.

What a joke! As the Northern Darkstar Continents Territorial Lord, San Shouwang was recognized as the most powerful man on the continent. He was challenged four times since becoming a Territorial Lord and killed three Earth Ultimate Gods during these challenges.

He had proven himself to be so powerful, who would simply boast being able to kill him?

I also think its weird.

An elderly woman with a snake-head crutch softly said, Lets not discuss whether Jian Yi can kill San Shouwang. Even if he can, why will he want to do it? As far as we know, he came to the Northern Darkstar Continent not too long ago and has always been a lone ranger with no conflicts against San Shouwang. Even if he coveted the Territorial Lord position, he could always openly challenge San Shouwang. All he needed was to wait a little longer. However, he seems like he cant wait to take action and wants the Situ Clan to help send the Official Army away Its just weird!

Yes, I think Jian Yi is very likely with San Shouwang whos eager to take action against the Situ family but lacks an opportunity or excuse to do so. We definitely cannot agree to help him out if hes with San Shouwang. Once we agree to help him, well fall into the trap and San Shouwang will use this excuse to destroy us. When the time comes, even our allied experts wont be able to help us, said a young-looking white-haired old man.

Clan Leader, we cant agree to this!

Yes, the Situ Clan will be walking on thin ice once weve agreed to it.

The three Peak Ultimate Gods Elders present unanimously disagreed to help Jian Wushuang.

However, Situ Yuan frowned after listening to the Elders before he mumbled, I think Jian Yi isnt on San Shouwangs side for certain and I also feel he has a reason to go against San Shouwang.

Oh, whats the reason? The Three Elders immediately looked toward him.

Have Three Elders noticed the veiled woman standing next to Jian Yi? Situ Yuan asked.

The Three Elders looked at each other. They indeed noticed the veiled woman but did not care too much about her.

Ive kept in touch with the veiled woman and even gotten her background checked. Although she has hidden information about herself well, I managed to find out things about her. The veiled woman is Xiao Tiexin, the Xiao Clans only survivor! Situ Yuan said.

What? The Three Elders were taken aback.

Xiao Tiexin? The Xiao Clans Eldest Young Miss? Shes still alive and daringly appear in the Northern Darkstar Continent?

Thats right. Situ Yuan smiled faintly. How was the Xiao Clan destroyed and how deeply-rooted was Xiao Tiexins hatred toward San Shouwang? Three Elders probably know about it but Xiao Tiexin has been by Jian Yis side. Even though Jian Yi claims that Xiao Tiexin is his younger sister, I think shes Jian Yis follower.

Xiao Tiexin used to be the Eldest Young Miss of a large family but willingly followed Jian Yi. Im sure Jian Yi mustve promised her something! Perhaps to kill San Shouwang and avenge her mother.

The Three Elders looked at each other with shocks flashing across their eyes.

If the veiled woman was Xiao Tiexin then everything made perfect sense.
