Chapter 1605: Chapter 1605: The Greatest Failure
“Trike, you can slow down a bit, don’t go too fast,” she bent down, patted the triceratops’s back, and loudly reminded it.
It wouldn’t be a problem for them, but Xiang Qiyan would not be able to endure it, being in a state of injury, no part of his internal organs intact, the violent jostling would definitely cause complications.
“Right, right, go slower, An Jiuyue, if you’re tired, just lie down and rest,” Zhan Beiye nodded repeatedly.
An Jiuyue nodded.
After being on the go for several days in a row, she really was quite tired, and since she was on Trike’s back, she decided to rest for a while.
However, she wasn’t able to rest for long before the Liushang Sect blocked their way again, and a fierce battle was inevitable, resulting in heavy losses for the Sect.
…
Inside a horse carriage, Xiang Qifeng was furious to the point of nearly flipping the carriage over when he heard that Xiang Qiyan and his people were heading to the Zhedu Sea Area.
“Didn’t they say that all the Sky Phoenix Gra.s.s had been retrieved? How could they still find it?”
He had ordered all the Sky Phoenix Gra.s.s to be burned, thinking it was foolproof. How could he have known that Xiang Qiyan’s people would still find it?
Was it that Xiang Qiyan’s fate simply couldn’t be ended?
No, he didn’t believe it. If he could corner Xiang Qiyan this time, it would be an opportunity given to him by the heavens, and he was determined to seize it.
“Those useless fools are too incompetent, don’t you know how to contact the Night a.s.sa.s.sination Alliance? Do it immediately. I must have Xiang Qiyan dead!” he ordered.
“This…”
The subordinate stood outside the carriage, hesitating upon hearing Xiang Qifeng’s command.
The a.s.sa.s.sins of the Night a.s.sa.s.sination Alliance did not just take on any mission, and besides, the Alliance had some preexisting relations with Xiang Qiyan.
“Your Highness, the Young Alliance Leader of the Night a.s.sa.s.sination Alliance was once saved by Xiang Qiyan. Asking them to kill Xiang Qiyan… It seems unlikely, doesn’t it?”
Xiang Qifeng was momentarily choked by his subordinate’s words.
He cursed inwardly, wondering how Xiang Qiyan was always so lucky, always having someone to protect him wherever he went!
“You don’t have to tell them that it’s Xiang Qiyan I want dead, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
Even if he knew that the Young Alliance Leader of the Night a.s.sa.s.sination Alliance had ties with Xiang Qiyan, what would it matter? As long as they offered a high price and didn’t reveal Xiang Qiyan’s ident.i.ty, would they be able to figure out that the person being pursued and in such a pathetic state was Xiang Qiyan?
Upon hearing this, the subordinate looked up somewhat speechlessly towards the carriage.
The people of the Night a.s.sa.s.sination Alliance weren’t fools. If they didn’t know who they were supposed to kill, would they accept the contract?
Furthermore, with the Liushang Sect so openly hunting Xiang Qiyan, surely this news had already reached the Alliance? Only because their Young Alliance Leader was in seclusion, the Alliance had remained merely observers.
But to have them directly kill Xiang Qiyan… that was definitely impossible.
“Yes, I will make contact immediately.”
Faced with Xiang Qifeng’s insistence, the subordinate didn’t dare to say much and complied.
As for whether or not he could negotiate the deal, that was not his concern. He was only responsible for making the contact.
“d.a.m.n Liushang Sect, can’t even handle such a trivial matter!” Xiang Qifeng cursed again after the subordinate left.
After so long, they couldn’t even kill someone half-dead, which was bad enough, but they also botched the matter with the Sky Phoenix Gra.s.s, letting Xiang Qiyan find the gra.s.s.
This truly was their greatest failure.
