“Are all the people in the inn?”
This time, the Liushang Sect had mobilized several of its elders.
Because so many assassins had been lost this time, the elders couldn’t sit idly by and personally took action.
Their cultivation level was not to be underestimated compared to those first-rate and second-rate assassins. Anyone who fell into their hands never ended well, and they were confident that they could certainly kill Xiang Qiyan.
“This time, I want to see how they plan to escape,” said one of the white-haired elders, stroking his beard with a hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he spoke fiercely.
“Third Elder, don’t be careless.”
Another elder glanced at him and warned.
They had arranged so many people; he did not believe that the other party, with their abilities, would be unaware of the danger.
But they had sensed danger and still came in. Could it be that they entered specifically seeking death? Clearly, it was deliberate; they could only guess what the other party was plotting.
“That woman is not easy to deal with; she uses demonic energy.”
“So what?”
The Third Elder was clearly infuriated, considering the severe losses the Liushang Sect had suffered this time.
Originally, they had some reservations about the High Priest Demon Heart, but now that they had been decimated by them, if he remained fearful, he would be no better than a timid turtle, only able to fight back.
“The High Priest Demon Heart of Wulong Mountain dares to meddle in the affairs of the planes, does she? If she can attack us, can we not strike back? This time, I shall see another High Priest Demon Heart die on Wulong Mountain!” he said, brimming with malice.
“Uh.”
The Great Elder choked upon hearing the words of the Third Elder.
Was the High Priest Demon Heart of Wulong Mountain someone they could just kill as they pleased? At most, they could force her to stop interfering with their pursuit to kill Xiang Qiyan.
“You had better not act recklessly. We cannot afford to offend Wulong Mountain,” he advised.
“So, you’re saying that our men died in vain?” The Third Elder glared at the Great Elder in anger, questioning him.
“The chief elder did not mean that,”
the Great Elder hastily denied, saying that since they had accepted the mission, they had to complete it, regardless of how many assassins died.
But after all, the other party was just trying to save their friend, and they hadn’t done anything wrong.
The difference in their positions was the cause of the issue, and that was beyond help. He could only hope that this time, their attempt to kill Xiang Qiyan would be smoother.
As for the High Priest Demon Heart, as long as she no longer protected Xiang Qiyan, he would decide for the Liushang Sect not to seek vengeance against her.
“Our main objective is to kill Xiang Qiyan. Everything else is secondary. Moreover, the chief elder does not believe we can kill the High Priest Demon Heart.
You must understand, she is protected by Wulong Mountain. To kill her would be to invite divine retribution not only on ourselves but on the entire Feather Abyss Continent!”
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder took a deep breath.
Why was the High Priest Demon Heart untouchable? She could kill so many of their people, yet were they not allowed to touch her? Where was the logic in that?
Yet, indeed, there was such logic. The heavens did not permit the Guardians of the two great mysteries to come to harm in the planes. Unless they died naturally, the planes would suffer endless catastrophes until every person was dead.
They had once visited Wulong Mountain and heard of a plane that was annihilated for killing a Guardian.
Even those who left the plane and reached the two great mysteries were not spared.
