Chapter 723 - 421 King of the West... Injured! _3

No Peak of Eighth Layer of Dao Realm... cannot protect Hidden Kill.

However... the appearance of ’Xiao Yu’ immediately gave him an idea.

This is also why he agreed to Hong Zhisha attacking that medicine garden.

Of course, this is just his initial thought, after all, ’Xiao Yu’ is still lacking a lot and has a long way to go.

"Then thank you, my lord."

Hong Zhisha stood up and bowed towards Zhou.

But in his heart, he had some guesses.

Otherwise, Dark Night wouldn’t have been sent as well.

You should know that in Hidden Kill, only Zhou can command him.

"Alright, go. After this matter, you will start a retreat, do not come out until you break through to the Eighth Layer."

"And that other matter is almost done, as for whether it succeeds in the end... that depends on the little guy’s own skills."

"Yes!"

Hong Zhisha’s voice was raised, and his eyes became excited.

No matter the result, at least there was hope for Xiao Ming’s injury.

...

Ten Thousand People Mountain Range.

The cultivating Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He took out a Communication Spirit Talisman from his bosom and infused it with Spiritual Power.

Immediately, the voice of his doppelganger echoed in the study, "Big brother, Hong Zhisha agreed."

"Really?"

That place is, after all, the domain of that old relic Xi Wang, who is Qin Tiandao’s grandfather.

The risk involved is not small.

"Yes, but he does not allow me to go, saying it’s too dangerous."

"Because a doppelganger of Xi Wang is overseeing the medicine garden."

"Hiss—"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan also took a breath of cold air. The doppelganger of that old relic is at least at the Peak of Seventh Layer of Dao Realm, if not the Eighth.

This old relic really does dote on Qin Tiandao.

But this also proves how important this medicine garden is to Qin Tiandao.

"Isn’t that risky?"

Chen Xuan asked.

After all, that old fellow is overseeing it.

"Judging from Hong Zhisha’s tone, it should be very promising."

"Hmm!"

"Then let’s wait and see."

Chen Xuan ended the communication, but a wicked smile appeared on his face.

With this medicine garden being snatched... Qin Tiandao is likely to go mad.

"Why does it feel like he’s clashing with me."

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

He already snatched one of his medicine gardens, intercepted the great medicine at Prince Qing’s place, and now he’s preparing to snatch another garden from him.

"Tsk tsk tsk...."

Chen Xuan clicked his tongue, speaking honestly, he even had some pity for Qin Tiandao.

But then again, in Martial Dao cultivation, especially for someone of his high Dao Realm, to obtain resources, one can only rely on plunder.

Because there are only so many top resources, all have been divided up.

Without plundering... not even a taste of the broth can be had.

That is reality!

...

Three days later.

A shocking piece of news stirred the entire Great Yu.

Hidden Kill had snatched the garden of Your Highness, defeating Xi Wang’s doppelganger, and even Xi Wang himself was heavily injured by a giant hand from beyond the heavens.

This matter even alarmed Emperor Yu.

In the Imperial Palace, Qixuan Hall.

Emperor Yu sat above, dressed in a black robe with gold trimmings.

The National Preceptor sat at his lower left.

Below him was Duke Liu.

Sitting to Emperor Yu’s lower right was Zhan Tian, followed by Liu Sheng.

"How is Xi Wang’s injury?"

Emperor Yu spoke softly, but his gaze was directed at Zhan Tian.

Though seemingly a calm statement, the Emperor’s majesty made Zhan Tian feel an immense pressure.

He slowly stood up, slightly bowing towards Emperor Yu, only then did he speak, "Reporting to Your Majesty, communication has been sent, Zhou did not strike hard, it’s just a minor injury, with some time for recuperation, he will recover."

"Hmm!"

Emperor Yu nodded slightly, then instructed, "Xi Wang has rendered meritorious service for Great Yu, have someone send some healing elixirs over, as a token of my appreciation."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhan Tian responded, seeing that Emperor Yu had no intention to speak further, he then slowly sat down.

At this moment, though, Duke Liu could not hold back, rising to his feet and saluting before speaking, "Your Majesty, Hidden Kill is so arrogant, and even injured the elder lord Xi Wang, we cannot allow them to continue unchecked."

Last time, regarding the Shen Family’s affairs, one of his Spiritual Power doppelgangers was extinguished by Zhou.

This matter he has always kept in mind.

Now is the perfect opportunity to have Great Yu act against Hidden Kill.

Emperor Yu glanced at him, but after a moment, looked away and slowly opened his mouth, "What do you all think?"

Historically, Great Yu’s governance had always been handled by the Three Dukes, Zhan Tian, and Liu Sheng. Only when issues couldn’t be solved did they reach Emperor Yu, so at this moment, he first asked for their opinions.

"With just a hand, Xi Wang was injured, Zhou’s strength is unfathomable, this matter still requires thorough deliberation."

Seeing Emperor Yu’s gaze, though unwilling in his heart, Zhan Tian had to speak.

"Zhan Tian, can he be stronger than our Great Yu?"

"How many experts of Great Yu have been killed by Hidden Kill over the years, and now there’s Xi Wang, should it continue?"

"It’s unclear what you in the Three Judicial Departments have been doing all these years!"

Duke Liu was very dissatisfied with his attitude.

He directly chastised him in front of Emperor Yu.

"Then you go!"

Zhan Tian was not one to be bullied, their identities, status, and power were similar.

He actually scolded him in front of Emperor Yu and shifted the responsibility onto the Three Judicial Departments, which instantly angered him.

"Humph!"

"Maintaining the stability of Great Yu is your responsibility of the Three Judicial Departments, if the old man goes, why do we need the Three Judicial Departments."

"So many experts have died over the years, the Three Judicial Departments cannot escape blame."

Duke Liu refused to let go of this point, indicating how dissatisfied he had been with the Three Judicial Departments over the years.

"Liu Daoxin, you are spitting lies!"

Zhan Tian stood up abruptly, shouting loudly.

Such a huge accusation falling on the Three Judicial Departments, he certainly would not agree.

"For so many years, peace has reigned over Great Yu, isn’t that the result of the Three Judicial Departments’ efforts?"

"Hidden Kill is unpredictable and has many experts, the Three Judicial Departments have already done their best."

"What else do you want?"

Honestly speaking, over the years, the Three Judicial Departments hadn’t had it easy either, Great Yu Hundred Mansions, there were just too many and too vast.

And the assassinations of Great Yu’s masters by Hidden Kill were carried out by top experts.

This kind of thing, no one can handle it easily.
