Chapter 802: Preparing to Advance to Tier 3(5)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
If they couldn’t kill Xu Chang Qing, what awaited them would be a long assassination.
At that time, even if they had magic treasure, the He family would still decline. “Moreover, that talisman treasure falling into Zhao Yu’s hands is equivalent to falling into Xu Chang Qing’s hands. At least twice. This means that he can use the talisman treasure to instantly kill the two of them…”
“Who told you that I’m going to rob them openly?!” Leader He said indifferently.
“Ah?”
The others were stunned. If they didn’t know how to rob, could they be secretly robbing?
“But Xu Chang Qing will be able to recognize us if we make a move!”
“That’s right. It will be extremely difficult to defeat Xu Chang Qing. At the very least, six elders will have to take action…”
” No!” Leader He shook his head, “You still don’t understand Xu Chang Qing’s character. She has a proud personality. It’s impossible for her to take the gourd from Zhao Yu’s hands…”
“Therefore, we only need to snatch the gourd and the Silent Array Flag from Zhao Yu’s hands…”
“But, even if we manage to snatch it, then Xu Chang Qing…” An elder questioned.
“Don’t be anxious!”
“We don’t need to snatch it!” Leader He waved his hand.
Under the gaze of the other elders, he slowly revealed a secret that only the previous retired leaders knew.
“In order to gain a foothold in the world, the ancestor of my He family had already set up a spy hundreds of years ago…”
“The small Ke family is actually a branch of us…”
” What?!”
The elders were shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
“The Ke family is not small in terms of scale. It can be considered a large family. They are actually from our family?!”
“Why didn’t I know?!”
“That’s right. I once had a grudge with the Ke family…”
“That’s not important. What’s important is that we need the Ke family to help restrain Xu Chang Qing.”
“After that, our people will kill Zhao Yu and take away all the treasures…”
“This…”
The group of elders looked at each other, finding it hard to imagine.” Will the Ke family really do that?!”
“Once I kill Zhao Yu, I will not rest until I am dead. I will have to face the investigation of the Holy City…”
“Besides, even if we succeed in the end, can we still use these two treasures?!” “Why not?”
“We probably took the treasure from the enemy who killed Zhao Yu, do you understand?” Leader He stated calmly.
The elders seemed thoughtful, realizing that by taking such a roundabout way, they might indeed be able to pass off unnoticed.
“As for the Ke family members, don’t worry. Our He family previous leaders have always been in secret contact with them, offering many benefits. They will do their part…”
“Moreover, we are essentially one family…” the He leader said confidently.
“Indeed, we are one family, so how can we speak of two?”
At that moment, three people walked out from behind the screen.
“Ke Xiong?!”
An elder recognized the leader of the group, who was none other than the Ke family leader, Ke Xiong.
Following behind him were two Ke family elders.
“Brother!”
The He leader took several steps forward and gave Ke Xiong a heavy hug in front of everyone.
“Good brother!”
Ke Xiong also shouted tearfully.
Seeing this touching scene, the other elders also wept with tears of emotion.
“Ke Xiong, you’ve worked hard…”
“For the sake of our He family…”
After some affectionate exchanges, they finally began to discuss the details of the ambush.
“Given that Zhao Yu has now reached the King Slayer Rank 5, his next step will be to enter the King’s Secret Realm to slay the king beasts for the Holy City…” “Before that, we won’t make a move on him but prepare in secret…”
“Once he completes the task in the King’s Secret Realm, he will definitely head to the temple for advancement…”
“We need to intercept and kill him before he enters the temple!”
“At that time, Xu Chang Qing will be intercepted by our brother Ke Xiong and his two companions…”
“Zhao Yu will be assassinated by the newly advanced Qilin child!”
“Intercepting Xu Chang Qing is one thing, offending just one person, but killing Zhao Yu means offending the Holy City. This is a matter that can shake the heavens and cannot implicate the He family…”
“Therefore, the agent I chose was raised in secrecy from a young age and originally had another purpose, but now he must be promoted to the third tier…”
“The agent is still at the second tier?!” Others were surprised, not knowing who this agent was.
The He Leader nodded, “Indeed, he is at the second tier. In terms of strength, he is just slightly inferior to Wu Tian…”
Hiss—!
Everyone gasped, not expecting that the leader had secretly nurtured such a figure without anyone noticing. Truly remarkable.
“With his strength, even if he is not fully enlightened, he is enough to kill Zhao Yu…”
After discussing the details, the Ke family members left through a secret passage.
“Big brother, do we really have to work for the He family?!”
A Ke family elder was somewhat resentful. He had only recently learned that they were one family with the He family, but having always identified as Ke family, he felt no sense of belonging.
The Ke family patriarch sneered and said, “The He family is obviously guarding against us. Xu Changq Qng won’t take Zhao Yu’s treasure, so both treasures are on Zhao Yu…”
“But the He family has us restrain Xu Chang Qing and uses their agent to kill Zhao Yu and seize the treasures, clearly making us take the risk while they reap the benefits…”
“But, where in the world is there such a good deal?!”
The Ke family patriarch sneered, “Do you think I agreed just to stabilize them? They are a bunch of old dogs, greedy for life and afraid of death, unwilling to charge ahead….”
