Volume 2 Chapter 1 Almost!

  "What a pity! What a great pity, it would have been better if you had died! It could have pained that old man for a while!" Na Yue'er said with some gnashing of teeth, showing extreme regret upon hearing that Jun Mo Xie was not dead. In the cabin below, Jun Mo Xie searched his mind in confusion. He didn't remember offending this 'Na Yue'er', so why did this woman's tone seem as if he had raped her a hundred times?

  "Ah, let's put the matter of hiring you to assassinate the princess on hold for now. The Dark Beast Tendon is already in hand, and at this point, your intentions are clear. I'll arrange for your safe departure from Tian Xiang. As for what remains, I'll report back to my master and see how he wishes to proceed. Perhaps we'll even collaborate with the Blood Sword Hall again. Please extend my regards to the hall's leader on your way out, and convey this message: although things didn't go as planned, Second Master is still grateful."

  When he said the last sentence, his tone suddenly became extremely solemn. Obviously, this sentence was the so-called "Second Master"'s original words. Jun Mo Xie silently curled his lips: Who doesn't know that the so-called "Second Master" is actually the Second Prince? And yet you all have a mysterious look on your faces!

  "Thank you, Lord Liu. I will definitely bring your words back. As for how to leave, we have our own way out. Farewell!" The three of them stood up together, clasped their fists and bowed. "The thirty pieces of Xuan Beast Tendon are already in Miss Yue's hands, not one is missing. After the task is completed, please let us know. We will come to retrieve our share ourselves."

  "Please, no need to be polite. When you gentlemen return, would you please ask the Master if he has made a decision regarding the assassination of that certain person? Whatever the outcome may be, please let me know as soon as possible. I'm counting on you!"

  "Yes." The three people slipped out one after another and vanished into the night. Liu Daren and others did not go out to see them off.

  "Miss Moon, after that incident, the palace has already undergone a major purge. Three of our people have suffered significant losses, but this doesn't pose a great problem for us. After all, from any perspective, this matter was caused by Old Master's actions. So you must complete the tasks we previously agreed upon as soon as possible. Once news leaks out, arrange for some personnel to enter as quickly as possible! Be careful, use single-line contact!" Lord Liu said in a low and urgent tone.

  "Yes, please be assured of this, Liu and Second Master. We have been preparing for a long time, and all the selected ones are virgins." Yue'er's gentle voice sounded: "Princess, Liu, if it weren't for Second Master's important matter, even Yue'er wanted to go to the palace to play for a few days."

  "Haha, Moon Girl's national color and heavenly fragrance, who can resist your temptation?" Then Mr. Liu smiled and lowered his voice, saying: "Second Master ordered that the production of Xuan Beast Tendon crossbow should be carried out as soon as possible, it may be used at any time, not a moment can be delayed. This matter is currently very sensitive, all parties are staring at us, we are always inconvenient to show up, everything is handed over to you, Moon Girl."

  "The moon girl said with difficulty: 'I certainly know this, but the batch of Xuan beast tendons is really rare and too large. If we use ordinary steel as materials, I'm afraid it won't be able to make full use of them; however, we can't possibly ask the Godly Armory in the capital to manufacture them, although their craftsmanship is exquisite and unparalleled, unfortunately, a big tree attracts wind and it's too easy to leak out. Currently, the only ones who can do this business are also famous for their expertise in weapon manufacturing - the Jiangnan Zhao family business. I have already sent someone to contact them before the auction, but so far, there has been no response.'"

  "The sooner this matter is settled, the better; I'm willing to double the pay if it can be completed as soon as possible."

  Mr. Liu said solemnly: "This thing will have a great impact on our future."

  "Second Master spent a nearly sky-high price and took great risks to get the Blood Sword Hall people to act on his behalf, just to exchange for these Xuan beast tendons. Not even a single thread can be lost."

  "This is naturally understood." Moon Girl smiled lightly and said: "Lord Liu,

  "What's the specific result of the matter I entrusted to Er Ye?"

  Liu's face turned somewhat unsightly as he said, "Miss Yue, Jun Tiandou is the pillar of the Tianxiang Kingdom's military. Wanting to assassinate him is no easy matter! Even if it were the master of the Blood Sword Hall, who dares to kill princesses and imperial princes, they would still be hesitant about this matter until now, unable to make a decision!"

  "If we were to frame the Second Master's followers for treason, it would have been effective when Your Majesty was still angry after the recent disturbance in the capital. The young lady's tone was extremely resentful: "I dream of the downfall of your family every day, this is clearly a great opportunity, how could the Second Master let it go so easily?"

  "That's absolutely out of the question!" Lord Liu flatly rejected the proposal. "This would mobilize half of the Tianxiang Kingdom's military; we can target Jun Zhantian himself, but not his faction. What Second Master wants is not a fragmented Tianxiang Kingdom."

  "You've brought ruin and chaos to our country, destroyed families and scattered people, and now you're saying...?" Moon Earrings Maiden

  The girl's tone was somewhat disappointed, "If Second Master can't even do this for me, then why should we rely on him?"

  "Be bold!" Lord Liu shouted, then immediately slowed down his tone and said: "Miss Yue, this matter can't be rushed; the Blood Sword Hall is currently hesitating, waiting for them to finish their business in the Yu Tang Empire. When the three masters meet, Second Master will definitely have a way to make them surrender. The three masters of the Blood Sword Hall are all Tianxuan cultivators, and the mysterious leader is said to be a super master of the Supreme Divine Mystery! Dealing with a mere Jun Wartian is absolutely not a difficult task. Besides, Jun Wartian is already in his twilight years, so what's the harm in letting him struggle on for a few more months?"

  That girl hummed a sound, still somewhat resentful, but she didn't make another peep.

  Don't be shocked in your heart! They are actually plotting to assassinate their own grandfather! And the assassination organization "Blood Sword Hall", unexpectedly has three leaders who are all Tian Xuan cultivators! There is even a supreme god, Xuan's leader!

  The sound of the ripple, because people are in the water, the originally extremely calm lake surface inevitably reveals a tiny bit of extremely light water flower sound. Although the voice is too small to be heard, you still suddenly call out in your heart

  Excellent.

  "Who?!" Only a thousand voices loudly said: "There is someone under the boat!" The trace has been revealed!

  Don't think too much, with a swift turn of his body, both feet fiercely kicked the bottom of the boat, and he instantly shot out like a huge arrowfish from the water's surface, rapidly swimming towards the distance.

  With a loud crash, the top floor of the painting boat split into four or five pieces. A figure with golden light mixed with faint yellow glow burst out and flew high in the air, about 50 feet above the ground! His eyes flashed like thunder and lightning, scanning around, and soon discovered Jun Moxie's figure rapidly fleeing at the bottom of the water.

  A flash of golden light, and he fell back onto the boat, grabbing the long bamboo pole of the boatman with one hand. With a whooshing sound, it shot out like a black lightning bolt, wrapped in a golden aura, flying towards Jun Mo Xie's shadow at the bottom of the water. At the same time, his body flew through the air, following the direction of the bamboo pole, and swooped down, his clothes fluttering in the night sky, shining with golden light, like a heavenly god descending into the world.

  It's precisely Lord Liu himself!

  The pinnacle of gold products! Just one more step forward is the standard of Di Xuan Water!

  Don't rush to the distant place like a flash of lightning, suddenly feeling a heavy pressure on your head, and the water around you seems to have solidified instantly. At the same time, I felt a huge crisis enveloping myself in an instant. For a moment, my hair stood on end!

  Without turning his head, Jun Mo Xie clearly felt that this crisis was aimed directly at his back and would pierce through it swiftly. If he couldn't avoid it, it would inevitably be a huge blood hole! At that time, he might have to make another trip to the afterlife if he still had such luck!

  In a flash, the whole body's strength was mobilized, and the "Opening Heaven and Earth" skill was fully activated. Suddenly, the pressure around her body decreased, and she twisted to one side with all her might. Her chest protruded forward, her back arched backward, and her waist suddenly contracted and twisted, transforming her entire body into a standard "S" shape. It was truly a devilish figure, with her front bulging out and her back curving in!

  Whoa! The bamboo pole, over four zhang long, almost rubbed against Jun Moxie's skin, inserted from the waist, coincidentally passing through his clothes and even his underwear, deeply inserting into the muddy ground.

  You suddenly felt a chill in your thigh, a tearing pain, and several curved hairs floated into the water. If this bamboo had deviated by another half inch, you would probably have gone to serve His Majesty the Emperor. Suddenly, your scalp exploded!

  Generally, bamboo poles are no more than two zhang, but Linger Lake is deep in water, and the bamboo poles are also relatively long.

  Don't move, a bamboo stick was inserted between his clothes and skin, yet he didn't flinch; with a flip of his right hand, a small flying knife appeared in his hand, and with a swipe backwards, the sound "hiss" instantly freed him. The two pieces of clothing fluttered apart like two butterflies, revealing a white figure in the middle - if it were a woman, it would be quite alluring.

  In the sky, a figure emitting golden light was rapidly descending. Before it even reached the water's surface, it had already caused a massive ripple on the water, creating a deep whirlpool that sank into the calm surface. Even the bamboo poles stuck in the muddy bottom of the river poked out their heads slightly.

  You didn't stay at the bottom of the water, with your eyes wide open looking at the human shadow flying down from the sky, humming in your heart, suddenly your body straightened up and rushed upwards violently.

  Uh, don't be impatient, he absolutely won't rush up and fight to the death with this Jin Xuanfeng peak expert who is still an insurmountable high mountain for him at present.

  His body shot up like an arrow, and just as he was about to break the surface of the water, his left hand suddenly pushed out a jet of water that shot upwards towards the falling figure, while his other hand grabbed hold of the bamboo pole. His body then dropped down with a loud splash, simultaneously swimming rapidly in the opposite direction. The "Opening Heaven and Creating Earth" technique was being used to its full extent, causing the bamboo pole to be bent into an arc shape at the bottom of the water, making a "cracking" sound that made one's teeth ache.

  When bent to the extreme, Jun Mo Xie's accumulated strength was exhausted, and he suddenly let go, his bare body speeding away into the distance.

  The curved bamboo pole flexed with immense force and sprang back with a "hum" sound.
