Chapter 258 - 258 242 Tang Qians Plot

Chapter 258: Chapter 242 Tang Qian’s Plot! Chapter 258: Chapter 242 Tang Qian’s Plot! Tang Qian, with his hands behind his back, took a few steps in front of Xu Lingtian and suddenly turned his head to address him:

“All these things added up, don’t they seem similar to the thief you mentioned, Brother Lingtian?”

Xu Lingtian waved his hand:

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“Brother Tang, I understand your desire to kill Chen Yuan, but have you considered what cultivation Chen Yuan possesses and what level that other person is at? Chen Yuan’s cultivation is indeed extraordinary, but it is merely at the Heavenly Gang Level.”

“But that thief can even compete with the old sect leader!”

“Although I am anxious to kill the thief, I won’t become a tool in Brother Tang’s hands.”

Xu Lingtian felt some dissatisfaction in his heart. Even now, Tang Qian still wanted to use him like a weapon. If he really acted against Chen Yuan, it would undoubtedly lead to a complete fallout,

How could he spare any effort to pursue that man then?

Tang Qian might not understand the value of the Dragon Vein Energy, but he knew that if he could retrieve the Dragon Vein that the thief had stolen, he might be able to advance further by leaps and bounds,

and the old sect leader might also have a chance to break through the Core Realm.

One could say that the Dragon Vein was crucial for the future of the Dragon Tiger Sect!

That’s why he was so distressed.

Most of his concerns were about how to retrieve that Dragon Qi.

Tang Qian, with an unchanging expression, slowly walked up to Xu Lingtian:

“What cultivation Chen Yuan possesses… Hehe, Brother Xu, do you know better than I do?”

Xu Lingtian: “What do you mean?”

Tang Qian’s expression turned cold:

“Didn’t you ask me earlier why, even after obtaining the black token, I didn’t act against Chen Yuan? Did you know why I didn’t answer you then?”

“Why?”

“Because I had already ignited the black token, issuing an assassination order at Seven Killings Hall. They dispatched a Silver Token assassin, but during the assassination, he was utterly defeated and killed by Chen Yuan.”

Tang Qian’s fists tightened under his sleeves.

“A Silver Token assassin!”

Xu Lingtian’s eyes narrowed, filled with disbelief. As someone who had collaborated with Seven Killings Hall, he was very aware of what a Silver Token assassin meant.

Only an assassin at the Reach Profound Realm could be granted a Silver Token.

Each one was extremely strong.

“Indeed… That’s why I previously offered conditions that were very disadvantageous to my Azure Flood Dragon Association, just to kill Chen Yuan. If this man is not eliminated, he will become an endless threat.”

“Brother Tang… is that true?”

“Do you think I would hide anything from you on this matter?”

Tang Qian continued:

“When the news of the battle at Dragon Tiger Sect was spread, I sent someone to gather some information. The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was amiss. In the entire Nanling Prefecture and even the entire Qingzhou,

the only person with both the strength and audacity to storm through Dragon Tiger Sect is him!”

At this moment, Xu Lingtian was still shocked and hadn’t snapped out of it. He had never expected Chen Yuan to possess such terrifying strength that he could even kill a Silver Token assassin from Seven Killings Hall.

Thinking of this, he indeed possessed the strength to escape from the hands of the old sect leader.

This man… truly terrifying!

Giving Xu Lingtian a moment to gather his thoughts, Tang Qian asked:

“What do you think, Brother Xu?”

“If what Brother Tang says is true, then I am seventy percent confident that the thief is Chen Yuan.”

“Yes, so what do you plan to do?”

“This man is not easy to kill…”

After knowing the extent of Chen Yuan’s strength, Xu Lingtian’s brows hadn’t relaxed. Aside from being able to match a Reach Profound Martial Artist in strength, his position in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau made him difficult to eliminate.

The conditions Tang Qian offered were very tempting, yet he had resisted because he did not want to make an enemy of the imperial court.

“Difficult or not, he must be killed. This man’s growth rate is too fast. If this continues, give him a little more time, and I fear even if you and I joined forces, we would not be his match.”

Seeing Xu Lingtian about to object, Tang Qian said in a low voice, “Brother Xu, don’t think I am trying to scare you, but his growth trajectory is indeed abnormal.

In just half a year, he has reached such a level. If he is given another half a year, do you think what I’m saying won’t come true?”

“Moreover, given his temperament, having made an enemy of Dragon Tiger Sect this time, he surely won’t let things end there in the future, especially with the treasures he took from Dragon Tiger Sect… Hehe…”

Xu Lingtian’s gaze lowered, hinting at a trace of murderous intent. The man had indeed made vicious threats to annihilate Dragon Tiger Sect, and according to his temperament…

Wait,

Suddenly, Xu Lingtian’s gaze sharpened as he thought of Chen Yuan taking the Dragon Vein Energy.

He is aiming to break through to Reach Profound!

Xu Lingtian’s thoughts whirred, considering this possibility. Truly, Chen Yuan’s growth rate was terrifying, and after some calculations, he indeed seemed to have reached the peak of Heavenly Gang.

Tang Qian did not know, but his final words had indeed hit a nerve in Xu Lingtian’s heart.

“What do you plan to do, Brother Tang? Directly confronting him is not a wise choice…” Xu Lingtian’s mind raced.

“Brother Xu, don’t worry yet, acting directly obviously won’t work. But if we can get a hold on Chen Yuan’s weaknesses, even the Heavenly Patrol Bureau can’t say much against it,

or perhaps, our two forces combine and request Seven Killings Hall’s top Silver Token assassin.”

Tang Qian spoke softly.

“Requesting an assassin from Seven Killings Hall…” Xu Lingtian’s eyes flickered. This was not a favorable option as he was still coveting the treasures in Chen Yuan’s possession that could manipulate Dragon Qi.

If Chen Yuan were killed, wouldn’t those treasures fall into the hands of the assassin from Seven Killings Hall?

This would not do!

However, Xu Lingtian wouldn’t put it so bluntly, but instead asked in another way:

“What would it cost to request an assassin from Seven Killings Hall?”

“The last time, the opposing party offered me a condition of thirty Primordial Crystals to use the hall’s top Silver Token assassin to ensure a flawless operation.”
