Chapter 1457

Yun Xiantai and the two others had come all the way to the outside of the third gate, originally planning to directly tear open the void and slip into the third gate unnoticed.

But the three quickly discovered that the third gate was protected by a Formation, and it was an Emperor-level Formation.

Forcibly tearing it open would surely be detected by the demons inside.

"Brother Yun, what should we do now?"

Hiding beneath the city wall, Dongfang Hong asked, and upon hearing this, Yun Xiantai smiled and said.

"Don't panic, I have a plan."

Saying this, Yun Xiantai took out a Talisman Seal; seeing this, Dongfang Hong was delighted.

"An Emperor-level Breaking Formation Talisman?"

"You have good eyes."

I don't know where Yun Xiantai got this Emperor-level Breaking Formation Talisman, but with it, things become much simpler.

There are many ways to use a Breaking Formation Talisman; for example, now Yun Xiantai envelops it with Línglì, concentrating the Talisman Seal's power entirely at a single point.

This way, the Breaking Formation Talisman will only destroy part of the Formation, not the whole thing.

This is a very basic method of use, not a secret; everyone knows it.

Finding an empty corner, Yun Xiantai activated the Talisman Seal and directly imprinted it onto the Formation.

Meanwhile, inside the gate, that Great Emperor assassin had already found this Great Emperor demon of the third gate.

Seeing her arrive, the Great Emperor demon even grinned and said.

"So late, what's the matter?"

For its trusted subordinate, it naturally had no suspicion; this guy had been with it for many years and was completely trustworthy.

But the Great Emperor demon never imagined that the one standing before it now was no longer its former trusted subordinate, but a Yongye assassin.

While spouting a pre-prepared excuse, she slowly approached the Great Emperor demon without changing her expression.

She only needed to wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.

But just as the Great Emperor assassin was about to act, suddenly the entire sky above the third gate blazed with light; seeing this, the previously laid-back Great Emperor demon instantly sprang to its feet.

"Someone's ringing the gate?"

This is the reaction that occurs when the gate's defensive Formation is under attack; someone is assaulting the third gate?

The gate is under attack, so the Great Emperor demon naturally couldn't stay still.

"Come, follow me to see what's happening."

Meanwhile, the Great Emperor assassin stared blankly, completely numb.

She had just been ready to strike, something that could be settled in a second— which bastard ruined her chance at this critical moment?

After preparing for so many days, she was about to deliver the final blow, but the result was ruined by someone.

Who the hell is idle enough to come ring the gate at a time like this?

She was already fuming and cursing inside, until the Great Emperor demon's words reached her ears, and she hastily came to her senses.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

"Oh, okay."

Cursing inwardly, she nevertheless followed behind the Great Emperor demon without changing her expression.

This is the professional quality of a killer: at any time, one must not let inner thoughts show on the face.

The entire third gate is now in chaos, and the culprit behind all this needs no saying— naturally it's Yun Xiantai and the two others.

Just now they deployed the Emperor-level Breaking Formation Talisman, and indeed the city's great Formation was broken open, but the three never expected that behind the city's great Formation there was yet another Formation.

Although its rank is not high, it is deeply concealed and serves merely as a warning.

Therefore, when the city's great Formation was broken, this Formation was instantly triggered; before the three could even act, the sky above the third gate was already ablaze with light.

"Yun Xiantai, you've screwed up."

Seeing this, Dongfang Hong and his brother Dongfang Huang were dumbstruck; after coming to, Dongfang Hong looked at Yun Xiantai with a speechless expression and said.

"Wasn't this supposed to be an assassination? Now we haven't even entered the city, and you've caused such a huge commotion?"

"Is this dying before the battle even begins, failing before we've even acted?"

Thinking this, Dongfang Hong already had a retreat plan; having said it was an assassination, how could we still assassinate under these circumstances?

"Let's go, we'll look for another chance."

He said this helplessly, but he knew clearly that missing this opportunity meant there might not be such a good chance next time.

The demons inside the third gate, having been startled like this, will likely tighten their defenses for a period afterward.

By then, if they try to find another chance to act, it will be even harder.

But things have come to this; what can we do now? We can only think of a solution later.

Yet Yun Xiantai did not heed Dongfang Hong's advice to retreat; staring at the third gate where light blazed, Yun Xiantai gritted his teeth and said.

"We can't leave; the operation continues."

"Huh???"

Staring dumbfounded at Yun Xiantai, Dongfang Hong could hardly believe his own ears.

"You... what did you say?"

"I said we can't leave; continue."

"Are you crazy? We're assassins; now that it's come to this, how can we continue?"

To this, Yun Xiantai clenched his teeth inwardly, but still forced himself to say.

"Who said assassinations must be silent? As long as in the end nobody knows, that's fine."

"Huh???"

"That sounds about right, yet hearing it feels a bit off."

「Now, how could nobody know about this situation? All the demons in the third level know about it. 」

「Then we'll kill them all; as long as we slaughter all these demon race food materials, naturally nobody will know. 」

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hong and Dongfang Huang brothers were directly shocked, and fuck, can we even play like this?

Assassination, boss, do you know what assassination is? Silent and unseen, that sneaky kind is called assassination.

You fucking, this is called slaughtering a city, alright.

So you're saying that nobody knowing is what you meant?

Kill everyone, so then nobody will know?

「Yun Xiantai, how about we calm down? Think long-term? 」

Looking at Yun Xiantai's determined expression, Dongfang Hong felt a bit panicked.

Although he is not a professional assassin, and has nothing to do with assassins, he also knows that assassination isn't like that.

But Yun Xiantai is dead set on doing it.

How could he not know he's messed up, but if he retreats now, all his efforts will be wasted.

Moreover, who knows if there will be another chance in the future?

Furthermore, they have no time to waste; each day delayed puts everyone in more danger, after all this is the Demon Realm, the demons' turf.

So, no matter what is said today, we must carry on with this assassination.

Faced with Dongfang Hong's wavering resolve, the Dongfang Huang brothers, Yun Xiantai gritted his teeth and said.

「Eastern Brother, times change; as the saying goes, plans cannot change faster than circumstances, people must learn to adapt, since it's come to this, our plan should also learn to adapt. 」

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hong went numb.

No, you call this adapting? It has nothing at all to do with the previous plan, okay?

This is two different things, okay; the previous plan was assassination, you now directly changed it to slaughtering a city, and you call this adapting?

Has this change become too thorough?
