359: Chapter 359 Being Too Clever

The crowd did not understand why General Ye Sinan was acting this way.

Then they heard General Ye Sinan say:

"Dongfang Baichen, you're faking your injury, aren't you?"

"Faking it?" someone from the Sakura Prefecture of Xuanwu Kingdom said in confusion. "General Ye Sinan, what do you mean? Although I haven't cultivated a Divine Soul, I can still see that Dongfang Baichen's condition is abnormal, his Mental Energy is chaotic."

"No, no, no. Dongfang Baichen's injury is real, but it definitely wasn't caused by Cultivation. In terms of talent, even I feel inferior. How could Dongfang Baichen have problems with his Cultivation? Therefore..."

"There is only one truth!"

"His injury was self-inflicted."

"Why?"

"Could it be... a trap?" The expert from Sakura Prefecture was startled and prepared to flee.

General Ye Sinan sneered, "It is a trap, but not one meant for us. Am I right, Dongfang Baichen?"

"General Ye Sinan, explain yourself clearly," said the person from Sakura Prefecture.

"Hehe..."

"It's for the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, isn't it?" General Ye Sinan said with a look of immense satisfaction. "Your scheme is to deal with the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, isn't it?"

"Because tomorrow is the day the Great Xia must return the azure dragon divine stele. You don't want to return it, or you have other ambitions."

Upon hearing this,

aside from the Dongfang Family head, Ye Yinhong, and a dozen others, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

"So that's it! That makes sense now. I thought it was strange earlier. How could Dongfang Baichen suddenly suffer Divine Soul damage, and then make such a grand spectacle of searching for treasures to heal the Divine Soul, as if afraid no one would know?"

"What a Dongfang Baichen, even deceiving us."

"Deceive you about what? About you pretending to be dead?"

"Haven't you pretended to be dead too? What right do you have to call me that?"

The Great Xia experts were somewhat displeased, feeling they had been played by Dongfang Baichen.

"Dongfang Baichen, my apologies for disrupting your plan. I can apologize." General Ye Sinan wore a look of deep satisfaction; making Great Xia and the Dongfang Family miscalculate made this trip worthwhile for him.

"Sigh, fool. You've brought this upon yourself!" Dongfang Baichen sighed.

General Ye Sinan angrily said, "What did you say??!!"

"I said you're an idiot!"

A furious roar.

A figure bathed entirely in golden flames suddenly appeared.

"Soul Slash!"

"Who's there?"

General Ye Sinan's reaction was incredibly fast; he immediately drew his weapon to defend.

However,

Xiao Weiqing's attack was far too swift.

Terrifying flaming blades slashed towards General Ye Sinan, one after another, several strikes in the span of a single second.

"Damn it!"

"Think you're the only one who can analyze things!"

"Think you know so much!"

"Look how capable you think you are, you son of a bitch!"

"Die!!"

Xiao Weiqing wielded the longsword transformed from ten thousand calamities, each strike heavier than the last. After a few slashes, General Ye Sinan's tall figure was struck down, devoid of any further sound or movement.

"What!!"

The experts from the Tianlang Empire looked at this scene in disbelief.

General Ye Sinan, their undefeated Great General, had been slain by a suddenly appearing figure—one could even say instantly killed, without a shred of resistance.

The powerful General Ye Sinan, after being struck by that single blade, immediately lost all ability to resist until his death.

"Run!"

The first to react were the people from Xuanwu Kingdom. True to their fence-sitting nature, at the slightest sign of trouble, they sensed something was wrong and fled without any hesitation.

At this moment,

they only felt that the people of Great Xia were too terrifying and too cunning, with endless hidden cards. No wonder they dared to scheme against a Divine Envoy.

"Damn it!"

"Avenge the Great General!"

"Run fast!"

The thirty people from the Tianlang Empire reacted, splitting into two groups. The vast majority turned tail and ran, even faster than those from Xuanwu Kingdom.

Only two charged towards Xiao Weiqing.

But, upon charging to a distance of three hundred meters, the two realized something was wrong—it was only the two of them.

Next,

the two forcibly halted their flying bodies, turned around, and prepared to flee.

But it was already too late.

A streak of golden light flashed past.

Their heads separated from their bodies, blood spraying across the sky.

Then,

the golden fire-man flickered and vanished without a trace.

Leaving behind the stunned crowd of experts.

Aside from Xie Zhiyuan and Dongfang Baichen, who could still process it, the others looked around in bewilderment.

As if confirming whether what had just happened was real.

Ye Yinhong was currently transmitting messages to several old friends.

"Sister Hong, that was Xiao Weiqing's voice just now, wasn't it?" Gu Yi said uncertainly.

"Yes."

"Really him? This... is this even human?"

"General Ye Sinan, the number one expert of Tianlang, was just cut down like that?"

"Can't you see? The corpse is still down there."

Song Qinian joined the mental group chat, "Holy shit, thinking back on it now, I really got my life back last night."

To think that last night, without asking for details, he had directly attacked Xiao Weiqing. He truly hadn't known the meaning of death.

"Sigh..."

Dongfang Baichen felt some regret. General Ye Sinan had died just like that. Actually, General Ye Sinan didn't have to die.

If he had just left like that, Xiao Weiqing might not have killed him.

Even if Xie Zhiyuan was exposed, the fact remained that Dongfang Baichen was injured. The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy might still have appeared.

But General Ye Sinan, thinking himself clever, had exposed their plan. Now, would the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy dare to come to Jingdu Prefecture? If he did, it wouldn't be due to great skill and boldness, but sheer stupidity.

As for everything that happened outside Jingdu Prefecture City,

the ordinary people inside the city knew nothing, and truthfully, they weren't too worried.

In their perception, Jingdu Prefecture was the safest place.

If something happened even in Jingdu Prefecture, then there would be no safe place left in Great Xia.

...

Dongfang Family.

"Elder Xie, I estimate the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy won't come tomorrow," Dongfang Baichen said.

This time, the preparations were still insufficient, and the plan wasn't thorough enough. They should have known to stop General Ye Sinan outside Great Xia's borders.

Furthermore, they hadn't expected everyone to take the matter of the Divine Soul so seriously, attracting so many experts to Great Xia.

"Ultimately, it's our own problem. We can only say the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's fate isn't meant to end yet."

"Xiao Weiqing, what do you say?"

Dongfang Baichen asked for Xiao Weiqing's opinion. Even though he was prepared, the moment he saw Xiao Weiqing, Dongfang Baichen was still slightly shocked.

So young. Far too young.

"Senior Dongfang, what do you think the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's strength level is?"

Dongfang Baichen thought for a moment and said, "His strength should be about the same as ours. However, inside the temple, his Divine Body recovers extremely quickly, making him very difficult to kill."

"Divine Body recovers quickly?"

"That's not a problem," Xiao Weiqing said. No matter how strong the Divine Body is, it cannot withstand the Seamless Slash.

Dongfang Baichen said, "You're that confident? Your teacher Ning Xing and I, last time, went to the temple for your sake. I used this to injure the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, and he recovered almost in the blink of an eye."

As he spoke, Dongfang Baichen waved his hand, and a shuttle-like object appeared in his palm.

"Senior, what is this?"

"A companion weapon? But aren't you a Technique Cultivator?"

Dongfang Baichen said, "The companion weapon left by Thirteenth Uncle. It's a Semi-Divine Artifact."

"Semi-Divine Artifact?"

Xiao Weiqing was startled.

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyuan asked, "So Dongfang Hao truly has fallen?"

The 'Thirteenth Uncle' in Dongfang Baichen's mouth was Dongfang Hao.

"No, probably not."
