Next was the Eldest Senior Brother of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance, Qi Yao. He was fighting the disciples of the Heavenly Jade Hall and the Sixth Junior Sister of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Although there was no suspense, the appearance of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance disciples had always caused an uproar.
The Palace Lord knew her disciple’s abilities and told her not to work too hard. She would come down after experiencing a few moves.
“Miss, look.”
Xing’er pointed below the observation platform of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion. “Wasn’t there only one injured just now? Why are there two now?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was that the Slave Killer had been severely punished by the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.
However, on second thought, that was not right. The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion only had one disciple left, the Slave Killer. She was sure Lou Bufan was not so “righteous”.
Then, she saw the Slave Killer walk out.
Lou Bufan really wanted to deal with the Slave Killer, but just as Su Xiaoxiao had guessed, out of the four partic.i.p.ating disciples of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, only the Slave Killer was left.
The Slave Killer was the most talented among all the younger disciples of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.
At first, he was not recruited as an inner sect disciple. He came from a humble background and was not recommended. He was taken away to be the most shady Shadow in the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.
His role was to carry out some shady missions.
Later on, his outstanding completion of the mission attracted Lou Bufan’s attention.
Lou Bufan looked at the Slave Killer who went to the front of the stage to watch the battle. His head and eyes hurt.
The gong and drum sounded, and the martial arts compet.i.tion began.
Qi Yao said to the two disciples from the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Heavenly Jade Hall, “The two of you attack together.”
In the observation platform of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on Qi Yao. “Is he Jiang Guanchao’s eldest disciple?”
The Palace Lord nodded. “That’s right. He’s Jiang Guanchao’s most loyal disciple. Rumor has it that Jiang Guanchao wanted to remove the Heart Guide for him and even begged Granny Nie for it. Unfortunately, she rejected him.”
“Is that so?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Granny Nie.
Granny Nie said indifferently, “Jiang Guanchao did come to the Nie family once and asked me how to resolve the Heart Guide. I don’t know if it was for his eldest disciple.”
In other words, she didn’t agree anyway.
The Palace Lord said to her daughter-in-law, “Do you know how difficult it is for Granny to agreed to remove the Heart Guide for your brother?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry, Granny. As long as you bet with me twice, you can immediately recover your capital!”
Granny Nie muttered, “Not to mention 4,000 taels, we can even be master and disciple!”
“Mother, who was in the top three of the previous batch?”
“The a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance.”
“What about last year?”
“The a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance took first and second place.”
Before Su Xiaoxiao could sigh, the Palace Lord continued, “Because the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance only sent two disciples to partic.i.p.ate.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Ling Yin hurriedly said, “Palace Lord, our chances of winning this time are very high! We might not lose to the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance! Right, Sect Master Lu?”
Lu Aotian was caught stealing candy.
Xing’er glared at him angrily.
Lu Aotian coughed lightly. “That’s right. The a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance will definitely be ruthlessly stepped on by the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
d.a.m.n it, was it easy for him to get a mouthful of candy!
“The next round will be Eldest Young Master. The next round will be Senior Brother Qian Yao!” Xing’er said happily.
Qian Yao, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
With the sound of gongs and drums, Qi Yao won. Deafening shouts erupted below the stage.
As long as the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance appeared, there was no need to fight too excitingly. It could make everyone’s blood boil.
“We’re almost at Mo’er.” Palace Lord looked at the arena in antic.i.p.ation.
Su Mo was fighting the Seventh Senior Brother of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance and the disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
“Heavens! It’s King of the Netherwold! He’s against the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance!”
“Ah, what a pity.”
“Although I think highly of King of the Netherworld, I have to admit that the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance is stronger.”
“If only he had encountered the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance later. At least he could advance another round. This time, it’s completely hopeless.”
Everyone felt sorry for Su Mo. The people who had thought highly of him yesterday had all changed directions at this moment.
No one could break the undefeated legend of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance!
In the observation platform of the Walkabout Sect, Ghost Concubine lay lazily on the beauty’s couch.
She stared at Su Mo droolingly. “Go bet 10,000 taels on the King of the Netherworld.”
The handsome disciple who was ma.s.saging her legs said, “Sect Master, his opponent is the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance. What if he loses?”
Ghost Concubine smiled charmingly. “I’m willing to spend a lot of money for him.”
“Sect Master!”
At this moment, a female disciple quickly entered the observation platform and said with a serious expression, “Something happened!”
“What happened?”
The Palace Lord looked at her second disciple, Yuan Yuexin. She was Qian Yao’s junior sister.
Yuan Yuexin choked and said, “Eldest Senior Brother… he was plotted against!”
On a quiet path near the arena, Eldest Senior Brother Qian Yao lay beside a cold stone with a pale face.
He had been stabbed in the chest. His glabella was black, and his nails were cyanotic.
Su Xiaoxiao checked his pulse. “He’s still alive. He’s poisoned.”
Wei Xu looked around and found a pile of black powder under Qian Yao.
He didn’t take it with his hand. Instead, he scooped up a little with his dagger.
He was about to smell it when Granny Nie grabbed his wrist. “It’s the Walkabout Sect’s Mental Confusion Powder.”
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly fed Qian Yao the antidote.
The strange thing was that the little yellow pills were not effective on the Mental Confusion Powder.
“Let me see which reckless—l…”
The Ghost Concubine’s voice stopped.
The female disciple pointed at Qian Yao and said, “It’s… there.”
The Palace Lord looked at the Ghost Concubine.
Ghost Concubine held a medicine bottle in her hand. She opened her mouth and quickly walked over. She said to the Palace Lord, “My disciple discovered that someone from your Hundred Flowers Palace had been drugged. He even picked up our Walkabout Sect’s Mental Confusion Powder from him!”
Seeing that the Palace Lord was silent, Ghost Concubine widened her eyes. “Don’t tell me you really think it was done by the Walkabout Sect? If I really want to harm your Hundred Flowers Palace, there are a hundred ways. None of them will leave any traces!”
The Palace Lord said, “The antidote.”
Ghost Concubine took out a small white jade medicine bottle from her pouch and handed it to her. “Here, take it all.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Mother, let me do it.”
The Palace Lord gave the antidote to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao tested the poison with a silver needle.
Ghost Concubine asked, “Do you suspect that I would resort to poisoning?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “For the sake of caution, please understand, Sect Master Ghost Concubine.”
“My surname is Yu.”
Ghost Concubine said angrily.
After waiting for a while, Su Xiaoxiao fed the silver needles to Senior Brother Qian Yao.
Palace Lord asked Ghost Concubine, “How long will it take him to recover?”
Gui Ji faced the Palace Lord and immediately became cute. Her tone was much gentler. “What I gave Sister is the best antidote. He can wake up in three days and the poison can be purged in ten days. There won’t be any aftereffects, but his injuries…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll treat him.”
Thinking of something, Ghost Concubine said, “Could it be the enemy?”
Wei Xu said, “Qian Yao’s two opponents are from the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance. One is Rakshasa’s third senior brother, You Ming, and the other is Rakshasa’s fourth senior brother, Chen Yu. If the two of them join forces, their chances of winning are not small. They don’t have to plot against Qian Yao.”
Palace Lord looked at Ghost Concubine. “Who did we offend at the same time?”
A name came out.
