Chapter 303: Pick the Soft Persimmons

Has this guy been issued a kill order by Huling?

His expression was a bit strange, and Qi Xiong curiously asked.

"How did you offend that bunch of beasts again?"

It was originally just a casual question, even carrying a hint of concern.

But who knew that upon hearing Qi Xiong's words, Su Luoxing felt as if his tail had been stepped on, and he immediately shouted.

"Is it you? Did you do it? Was it you who had the tiger clan issue the kill order, Qi Xiong? You're scheming against me again."

Huh???

After being scolded by Su Luoxing, Qi Xiong was speechless—listen to what you're saying, are you crazy?

But this isn't entirely Su Luoxing's fault; it's like a conditioned reflex—since he's suffered too many losses at Qi Xiong's hands, now whenever something feels off, his first reaction is to link it to Qi Xiong.

But this time, I swear on heaven and earth, Qi Xiong really didn't do anything.

"I'm saying, you should calm down."

He patiently advised him, but seeing Su Luoxing's current state, Qi Xiong also felt uneasy.

We're peers, and Su Luoxing was once one of Dongzhou's top prodigies; now he even leads the Luo Xia Sect.

Regardless of whether it's his own doing, seeing Su Luoxing like this still makes one sigh—a generation's talent, how did he end up becoming a nervous wreck?

But the more they talked, the more fired up Su Luoxing got.

"Stop pretending here, Qi Xiong—are you scheming against me behind my back again? Are you trying to finish me off this time?"

"Do you want to kill me?"

"Do you want my life?"

"Are you trying to kill me?"

His voice was full of resentment and grievance; Qi Xiong replied helplessly.

"Think about it—how could I order the tiger clan? Forget it, let's talk after you calm down."

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Juexin.

"As for spreading the faith, my Dao Yi Sect won't agree; as for the Luo Xia Sect agreeing, you can have the Fomen spread it in their territory; as for the Myriad Buddha Assembly, my Dao Yi Sect will send participants."

After saying that, Qi Xiong directly cut off the formation.

"Sigh, with this mindset, how can you cultivate? Don't later break your Dao heart."

He let out a light sigh; as a sect leader, he should be unflinching even if Mount Tai collapsed before him—how could he be so flustered?

On the other side, the Luo Xia Sect's formation was cut off; Su Luoxing didn't care, but turned to glare at Yu Li.

"Tell me, what's going on? I've been in the sect, why would those beasts issue a kill order? And they even issued one against me—did they eat a bear's heart and leopard's gall?"

"It seems to be because of Senior Brother Yang Xian."

"Yang Xian?"

"What happened to Yang Xian?"

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao appears—just then the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán lit up, and upon connection it was Yang Xian.

"Senior Brother."

"What the hell are you doing in Huling?"

He started with a tirade; Yang Xian was taken aback—he had come to complain and seek comfort, so why was he being scolded?

Seeing Yang Xian's aggrieved expression, Su Luoxing became even more furious.

"I've been issued a kill order by the tiger clan—what's going on over there?"

"That fast? Upon hearing that, Yang Xian blinked, then proceeded to recount everything that happened in Huling in detail."

After hearing Yang Xian's account, the anger in Su Luoxing's eyes had already peaked.

"As I thought, it's definitely the Dao Yi Sect—Hong Zun, that old bastard again; I'm going to kill him."

"Yu Li, go—this old bastard isn't out traveling; arrange people to take care of him."

He couldn't even last a minute, but regarding this, Yu Li hesitated to speak.

"Um... Senior Brother, there are some things you might not understand..."

She had wanted to explain, but Su Luoxing didn't let her finish and cut her off directly.

"I don't need to understand; just obey my orders—no matter the cost, I want that old bastard dead."

Yu Li replied with a helpless expression.

"How many should we send then? Those two peaks are traveling together, with over twenty thousand people; if Senior Brother wants to assassinate, too few would make success unlikely."

"I don't care; even if they have............ what did you say?"

He had never paid attention to Hong Zun's movements before, but upon hearing Yu Li say they were together with over twenty thousand, Su Luoxing was dumbfounded.

"Aren't you supposed to be out traveling? What are you doing dragging over twenty thousand people around?"

"Besides the twenty thousand plus, there are Zhang Tianzhen, Qing Shi, and Bai Hua Xianzi—three Shèngjìng experts; Senior Brother, should we still make a move?"

"Forget it—do you want to start a sect-wide war with the Dao Yi Sect?"

Trying to assassinate Hong Zun in front of over twenty thousand people is impossible unless you kill them all together.

But the Dao Yi Sect barely has any disciples—killing twenty thousand at once? Even if you succeeded, the Dao Yi Sect would surely fight you to the death the next second.

The anger in his eyes didn't fade but grew—'Fine, fine, fine, really great—I can't find a single flaw in your Dao Yi Sect, right?'

"Yang Xian, if what you say is true, not only my Luo Xia Sect but also the Dao Yi Sect's upper echelon have been issued a kill order by the tiger clan?"

"Yes, the Zhihu Demon King said that at the time."

The Dao Yi Sect was also listed, which somewhat balanced things for Su Luoxing—yet Yu Li beside him spoke again.

"That... Senior Brother..."

"What's wrong again?"

According to the current intelligence, Dao Yi Sect has no kill order from the Tiger Tribe.

Not issued?

His eyes locked onto Yang Xian within the Formation Light Curtain; you said it was issued, didn't you? What's going on?

Facing Su Luoxing's deathly gaze, Yang Xian also spoke doubtfully.

That shouldn't be; at that time, the Wise Tiger Demon King personally said, sparing no expense, to slaughter our two sects' high-level members, including Dao Yi Sect.

Go check, find out what's going on.

He said in a low voice to Yu Li.

After a little over one Shíchén, Yu Li returned, and soon a furious roar echoed inside the hall.

Impudent! Why is it only my Luo Xia Sect? Does the Tiger Tribe think my Luo Xia Sect is easy to bully?

Damn it, I just can't figure it out; clearly it was Dao Yi Sect who made the move, even if you Tiger Tribe are all stupid and can't see clearly, yet you issued a hunt order—why is it only against his Luo Xia Sect?

What about Dao Yi Sect? Where is Dao Yi Sect's hunt order? Did you damn well eat it?

After repeated confirmation, the Tiger Tribe indeed did not issue a kill order against Dao Yi Sect, only against his Luo Xia Sect; this made Su Luoxing furious.

You can guess this with your toes; it's that the Tiger Tribe fears Dao Yi Sect.

One picks the soft persimmons to pinch; the Tiger Tribe dares not issue kill orders against both Luo Xia Sect and Dao Yi Sect at the same time, so they can only choose one.

And in the Tiger Tribe's view, Luo Xia Sect is weaker and easier to handle, so it naturally becomes the target of 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey' to save face.

Ah, Dao Yi Sect, Tiger Tribe, you damn well bully my Luo Xia Sect thinking no one's there, right? Yu Li, go, issue a kill order—let the Tiger Tribe issue it, let Dao Yi Sect issue it too; I want to kill Qi Xiong, I want to dig up the Dao Yi Sect's eighteenth-generation ancestral graves.

Sect Master, Dao Yi Sect also issues it, right...........

Go, issue it for me, even issue a kill order for the Dao Yi Sect's eighteenth-generation ancestral graves; whoever can dig up the Dao Yi Sect's ancestral graves, my Luo Xia Sect will richly reward them.
