Chapter 118: Assassinating the Sword Immortal, City Lord of Wushuang City

Returning from Mount Cang to his residence.

Jiang Chen, as usual, ate a bowl of plain noodles and prepared to head to the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion.

However, halfway there.

He heard the sound of thunder rolling across the sky.

Immediately after.

Raindrops as large as beans fell like a waterfall.

"So it's raining..."

Jiang Chen shook his head, wanting to laugh; he had just thought it was Lei Yunhe returning to the Carefree Heaven Realm.

Thinking about it, that made sense.

Such a massive commotion, let alone Lei Yunhe, even he, having reached the peak of the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm, might not necessarily be able to create it.

Looking at the overcast sky.

Jiang Chen decided not to go to the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion anymore.

In this kind of weather, the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion was usually closed, because even if it were open, no one would come to challenge it.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Chen turned and walked toward Lian Xing's courtyard.

As for Ye Ruoyi and Brother Sikong Qianluo and the others, they probably hadn't even woken up yet.

Outside Wushuang City.

A carriage was slowly driving toward Wushuang City.

Inside the carriage.

Sat a refined young master, looking about thirty years old, with a gentle, calm, and composed personality.

However.

His eyes were covered by a white cloth, obscuring his entire vision.

And beside him.

Was a young child serving him.

At this moment.

The child looked curious: "Master, can we really persuade Wushuang City this time?"

"I have already contacted the five great elders of Wushuang City in advance; whether we can persuade them, won't we know once we arrive?"

The refined young master said lightly: "Now that the Red Prince has begun to act, and the Prince of Eternal Peace has also appeared, if I am slow, wouldn't I fall behind them?"

Hearing the words of his master, the White Prince.

The child nodded as if he understood, and just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a soft sound from outside the carriage.

He hurriedly pulled back the curtain, and a white pigeon flew in.

"News from Jingxia?"

The child looked at the note taken from the pigeon's ankle and nodded: "The Ninth Prince says he has already found the location of the Dark River and has also contacted the Great Elder of the Dark River. At the same time, the Dark River has agreed to take action against the Lei family, and moreover..."

He said a lot in one breath, but as he spoke, he suddenly stopped, a look of horror appearing on his youthful face.

"And what?"

The child hesitated for a moment and said tremblingly: "According to the letter, the Dark River seems to want to assassinate the Sword Immortal!"

"Assassinate the Sword Immortal?"

Hearing the child's words.

Xiao Chong frowned instantly; the reason he sought cooperation with the Dark River was merely to have them destroy the Lei Sect.

Because both the Lei Sect and Snow Moon City were supporters of the Prince of Eternal Peace, Xiao Chuhe.

Xiao Chong didn't take the Red Prince, Xiao Yu, the poet-wine prince, to heart.

But facing the Sixth Prince, Xiao Chuhe, he had to take him seriously, because in some aspects, Xiao Chuhe was exactly the same as the former Prince Langya!

Therefore.

If he could destroy the Lei Sect and cut off one of Xiao Chuhe's arms, his chances of winning the throne would increase significantly.

However...

Destroying the Lei Sect, he didn't take to heart.

Although the Snow Moon Sword Immortal was also considered a disciple of the Lei Sect, he had long been expelled for violating the ancestral rule of sealing the sword.

The current Lei Sect and Snow Moon City were ultimately just allies.

But assassinating the Snow Moon Sword Immortal...

Regardless of whether the ambush succeeded, he would inevitably offend Snow Moon City because of it.

This was a completely different concept from destroying the Lei Sect.

Xiao Chong looked thoughtful.

Seeming to be calculating the gains and losses.

If the Snow Moon Sword Immortal fell, Snow Moon City would still have the Spear Immortal Brother Sikong Changfeng and Baili Dongjun, who had gone to the overseas immortal islands.

But he also had the Wrath Sword Immortal and Eunuch Jinyu of the Five Great Eunuchs by his side...

Just then.

The child suddenly said: "Master, we have arrived at Wushuang City."

Hearing this.

Xiao Chong came back to his senses and nodded gently.

At the same time.

In the council chamber of Wushuang City.

City Lord Song Yanhui sat upright on the chair at the very top of the chamber, looking gloomily at the five great elders of Wushuang City standing below:

"Great Elder, Jianghu matters are settled in the Jianghu, and court matters are settled in the court. Our Wushuang City is a Jianghu city; do you really want Wushuang City to interfere in court affairs?"

"Yanhui, you have contributed significantly to the rise of Wushuang City over these years."

The Great Elder, with white hair and beard, looked at Song Yanhui and sighed: "But the reason Wushuang City is called Wushuang City is that it was once the number one city in the world. But now... are you really content?"

Song Yanhui looked at the Great Elder and said indifferently:

"Great Elder, please feel free to speak your mind."

"Step down; you are no longer suitable to be the City Lord of Wushuang City."

Hearing this.

Song Yanhui was not surprised, only asking with a smile: "Judging by the Great Elder's meaning... have you already found a suitable candidate?"
