Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1199 - 701: Conspiracy (Part 2)

"Lord Hei Shan sent you, Black Dragon, this time, so the mission is sure to succeed."

Black Dragon glanced at Shong Ming, indifferent: "Lie Xun has become Lady of Dongming’s right-hand man, causing no small obstruction to our Empire of the Great Sun over the years. Lord Hei Shan has long wished to eliminate him quickly. Though I’m here, Hei Yu and Black Blade have already gone ahead to assist in the assassination, just in case; you needn’t worry about any mishaps... Rather than worrying about whether the assassination will succeed, consider how you might seize the opportunity to get rid of Lady of Dongming...."

He paused, seemingly with some contempt, "Lord Hei Shan is concerned that after being betrothed to Lady of Dongming for three years, you haven’t gotten close to her at all."

As someone engaged for three years but hasn’t even held his fiancée’s hand, Shong Ming’s face is indifferent, but his eyes darken. Just then, inside comes the sound of Li Yuanji’s revelry, more like a mockery....

"Black Dragon, there’s no need to worry about this... That Shan Wanjing is already within my grasp..." Shong Ming downed a cup of wine, "But Black Dragon, you must have heard something... That girl disguised as Cangwu must be Sui Yi... There was someone in Central Plains even more suitable than Wanwan or Shi Feixuan to become Lord Hei Shan’s furnace. I think Black Dragon might consider offering her as a sacrifice. If you need my help, just say the word."

Black Dragon seems to react, raising his eyes slightly, indifferently: "Lord Hei Shan is well aware and has plans; no need for you to worry..."

As their conversation reached this point, Sui Yi slightly narrowed his eyes, fingers curling, the tip of Beak of the Golden Crow sharp, emitting a chilling cold, just about to act when suddenly he heard Shong Ming’s seemingly casual words from inside.

"Ah, I almost forgot, though she perfectly fits the furnace requirements, she’s too powerful, vaguely at Great Grandmaster Level, difficult to handle, unlike the more suitable Shi Feixuan or Wanwan... I’ve heard Lord Hei Shan decided upon a furnace candidate long ago, it’s possibly one of these two...."

Black Dragon said nothing, coldly glaring at Shong Ming, who smiled innocently.

At that moment....

Boom!

Spring Breeze Building erupted with a significant commotion, sounds of fighting.

Shong Ming and Hei Shan exchanged glances; it began.

Shong Ming’s foot tapped as he flashed to the window, poking his head out.

Indeed, he saw lights of fighting where Lie Xun was, along with shouting voices.

But his face froze, his eyes unwilling to move.

Because there was someone lazily leaning against a pillar, raising a hand, the Beak of the Golden Crow on his finger gently, carelessly pointing at his temple.

Cold sweat, about to drip.

Death so near.

Sui Yi merely said: "Not letting you die yet"

Then his vision went dark, body slack, slumping onto the windowsill. Hei Shan saw Sui Yi, his brow furrowing coldly, then his palm formed hand seals, and he abruptly vanished.

Ninjutsu?

Sui Yi could now confirm this person was Dongying.

Few Central Plains People would learn ninjutsu from Dongying.

Sui Yi lowered his gaze, eyes clear and elegant, Magnetic Sensation already capturing a hidden black shadow.

Whoosh!

Shuriken dark stab!

Towards Sui Yi’s carotid artery.

Squelch!

It indeed pierced in.

Afterimage?

Hei Shan swiftly slid his foot, flashing to the top of the eaves, when suddenly...

Bam!!!

Sui Yi’s long leg had kicked his abdomen.

Is this truly a girl disguised as a man? Such strength!

Boom!!!

Hei Shan crashed through a row of tiles, slamming into a window, and by chance, the window led to inner quarters, where people inside were startled, and Sui Yi, seeing inside, was also surprised, then frowned.

It was Li Yuanji, naked on the bed with two women... The scene was truly indecent.

Li Yuanji, seeing Sui Yi, felt shocked and annoyed but quickly recognized the other’s extraordinary martial arts. If they intended to kill him...

"Sui Yi, how dare you!!"

The moment he uttered those words, Black Shan grabbed his neck, "If you come near, I’ll kill him, then Li Yuan won’t let you go!"

The two women were already trembling with fear.

Only Wei Xichao remained calm, silently watching Hei Shan and Li Yuanji. Well, two of them were staring at the growing evil in Sui Yi’s eyes, both suddenly feeling something extremely ominous.

"Sui Yi, if you dare..." Li Yuanji’s voice abruptly stuck in his throat, for Hei Shan’s shuriken had already pierced his neck.

Hei Shan’s expression turned terrified, disbelief at his own hand.

Sui Yi stood behind him, finger touching a shoulder acupuncture point.

"Someone predestined to die, what does it matter if they die sooner or later"

"Besides, it’s not I who killed him"

Sui Yi’s gentle voice made Hei Shan’s terror grow, but he seized the chance to draw the shuriken, thrusting it towards Sui Yi’s temple.

The shuriken was poisoned.

Touch equals death.

At such close range, even Great Grandmasters...

What is a Great Grandmaster? Sui Yi had no concept of this, for before now, she hadn’t encountered this world’s Great Grandmaster Level masters, does Jin count?

If it counts, then what’s this assassination?

Jin could be easily broken, as for Sui Yi...

Snap!

Her hand swiftly chopped the opponent’s wrist cleanly, Hei Shan’s wrist instantly numbed, the shuriken dropping.

And Sui Yi’s sword rose.

Whoosh!

A cold light streaked across his neck.

A scar, yet no blood, for it was absorbed by Demon Que.

Clean, efficient, like slaughtering chickens and dogs.

As the person fell.

Sui Yi bent down picking up the fallen shuriken, placing it back in Hei Shan’s hand.

"My Lord!"
