203: Assassination begins, feeding the Ten Thousand Souls Formation

“Alright, business first.”

Seeing the two still arguing, Wu Lei spoke up.

After stopping their quarrel, he explained his idea.

Wu Lei’s idea was to kill a few black-robed individuals from the No Mans Land and impersonate them.

Then, they would figure out the Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation.

“We’ll follow your lead!”

The group immediately agreed and, led by Wu Lei, took action.

As for Yu Xiu’s side…

More and more people gathered.

From the initial hundreds, to later thousands, and now, looking up, the surroundings were densely packed with people.

“Boss, something’s not right!”

Chu Tianjiao’s brows furrowed tightly as he watched the increasing crowd.

“Someone is instigating them from behind the scenes.”

Yu Xiu glanced around and said coldly, “The Nine-Colored Qilin absolutely cannot make the crowd gather this quickly. It’s obvious someone is instigating the people in the Qilin Relic from behind the scenes.”

“I’m afraid the number of people gathering next will only increase.”

When the crowd suddenly swelled, Yu Xiu spread his consciousness across the surroundings.

Through conversations within the crowd, he learned that these people were all here for the Opportunity to Breakthrough to Martial God.

He even heard them privately discussing how to encircle and attack him.

Regarding this, Yu Xiu merely scoffed.

A group of Grandmaster Realm ants, no matter how numerous, couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

Not to mention their attack power, just his ability to fly already put him in an invincible position.

As for the Qilin Battle Team members, the Source of Qi split into three hundred Qilin, flying into the sky. Who could possibly do anything to them?

Of course!

Being schemed against, Yu Xiu was naturally displeased. The mastermind definitely had to be found.

“Tell the brothers not to worry.”

Yu Xiu glanced at the increasingly solidifying palace in the sky and told Chu Tianjiao, “Once chaos erupts, I will have the Qilin carry them into the sky. There’s no need to worry.”

“As for the one instigating from behind the scenes, he will eventually have to step out.”

“Before absolute strength, schemes and tricks are ultimately futile.”

Yu Xiu looked calm.

Chu Tianjiao also relaxed.

He had also been startled by the sheer number of people earlier, his mind only focused on how to kill them all.

However, upon hearing his boss’s words, Chu Tianjiao also came to his senses.

Their Qilin Battle Team had Qilin mounts.

Once they flew into the sky, they would be in an invincible position.

“Boss, who do you think is targeting us?”

Chu Tianjiao pondered for a moment, then added, “Could it be people from the Blood God Sect?”

Yu Xiu shook his head and chuckled, “Why waste time thinking about such things?”

“Whoever it is, once he jumps out, we’ll just cut him down.”

“If it really is the Blood God Sect, I don’t mind completely uprooting them within China.”

“Even if they are backed by the Cabinet.”

“If they covet me, what’s wrong with sending them to their deaths?”

Chu Tianjiao was stunned and asked, “The Blood God Sect is backed by the Cabinet?”

“How is that possible?”

“How could the Cabinet allow a cult like the Blood God Sect to create chaos in China? What benefit would they get from it?”

Yu Xiu explained, “The Blood God Sect is already rotten, split into two factions.”

“You will understand these things later.”

Chu Tianjiao suddenly realized.

In his opinion, the Cabinet would absolutely not do such a thing.

Supporting a cult?

That was too absurd.

However, after hearing Yu Xiu’s explanation, Chu Tianjiao finally understood.

“From ancient times to the present, aristocratic families have always been a major problem, especially when the rules of an era collapse and a new era begins.”

Hearing this, Chu Tianjiao seemed to understand.

Wasn't the Chu family forced into seclusion because of the aristocratic families’ coercion back then?

Old Master Chu became cannon fodder.

The Cabinet couldn't protect him.

One could only say that the Cabinet’s strength was not much different from that of the aristocratic families, evenly matched.

“Boom!”

Just then, a loud thunderclap suddenly echoed from the Qilin Relic.

It immediately caught Yu Xiu’s attention.

His brows furrowed sharply.

“Something’s wrong!”

After the thunderclap, Yu Xiu found his perception restricted.

Yet, he didn’t know why.

“What’s wrong, Boss?”

Yu Xiu shook his head and said, “I’m not sure yet.”

At the same time, among the crowd, the Young Lord from the No Mans Land revealed a cruel smile when the thunderclap sounded.

“The Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation is finally complete. Next is Yu Xiu’s death.”

“Order our people to start hunting within the crowd.”

“I need their flesh and blood to nourish my Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation, to become its sustenance, and to become tools to kill Yu Xiu.”

As the young man finished speaking, the person beside him immediately took out a jade pendant. After some manipulation, the jade pendant flashed red.

“Young Lord, the notification has been sent.”

It was also at this moment that the black-robed figures in the crowd began to hunt.

People fell intermittently.

As more and more people fell, it finally attracted everyone’s attention.

“Someone’s dead!”

“There’s an assassination.”

Exclamations rang out, and the crowd immediately fell into chaos, with stampedes occurring.

“Watch out for the black-robed figures!”

“Be careful…”

Some people in the crowd also spotted the black-robed attackers and shouted twice. The next moment, they fell to the ground, dead.

“Run!”

As the crowd descended into chaos, Yu Xiu’s side also noticed the situation.

The original ten-meter restricted zone was now ignored as people ran wildly.

“Mount the Qilin!”

Yu Xiu also immediately used the Source of Qi to split into over three hundred purple Qilin.

Although the Qilin Battle Team members were puzzled that the Ink Kirin had turned into purple Qilin, they didn’t hesitate at all and immediately mounted the Qilin.

Under Yu Xiu’s control, they all flew into the sky.

“Wasn’t it the Ink Kirin?”

The Young Lord from the No Mans Land in the crowd was astonished when he saw the purple Qilin ridden by the Qilin Battle Team members.

He had known before that Yu Xiu had over three hundred Ink Kirin as mounts.

Now, the appearance of three hundred purple Qilin also surprised him.

“Purple Qilin?”

“Could it be a Thunder Qilin?”

“He truly possesses great Luck.”

After his shock, the Young Lord’s face showed a mocking smile, “However, after today, everything you have will belong to me, belong to Ji Shaotian.”

“Order them that they no longer need to hide and can hunt with the aid of the Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation.”

After these words, black mist suddenly emanated from around the bodies of the black-robed figures in the crowd, with a faint stench spreading.

As the black mist spread, the strength of these black-robed figures sharply increased to the Great Grandmaster Realm.

They were originally from the No Mans Land.

Both their Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill were far superior to those of the people from China.

For a time, a great slaughter began.

“Boss, those black-robed figures?”

“It really is the Blood God Sect.”

High in the sky, Chu Tianjiao looked at the situation below, his face filled with anger.

“G-Great Grandmaster?”

“How is that possible?”

No sooner had he spoken than he saw the strength of those black-robed figures surge dramatically.
