Chapter 142 Strike First

At this moment, Li Fugui also came over.

"Miss, we've found the Bloodstone."

Where is he now?

Mo Wu's tone carried a hint of murderous intent.

After killing Bloodstone, she took over the Crimson Tower, and no one in Tianwu City could rival her.

"It's in a brothel in the city. I believe it won't be long before he learns that Jing Lei has been killed."

Li Fugui explained everything in detail.

Mo Wu pondered for a moment, pacing back and forth in the main hall, her mind racing with thoughts.

She quickly made up her mind and said in a deep voice.

"Gather manpower and control Bloodstone as soon as possible. We must not let him react first and try to subdue him in one fell swoop."

"yes."

Li Fugui replied.

"Go and take care of the business."

Mo Wu waved her hand.

Her thinking was simple: she was going to have to take action sooner or later anyway.

Since that's the case, why not strike first and give Bloodstone no time to react?

...

When Zhou Xianzong returned to his residence, he found Yingxi carving something.

From a distance, it looks like a wooden figure.

"You can also carve?"

Zhou Xianzong walked over with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yingxi quickly put away the wooden figure in her hand and said with a hint of pride.

“When I was a child, I would sometimes use this to pass the time when I was bored at home alone. Today I just happened to have nothing to do, so I carved something casually.”

"show me."

Zhou Xianzong made his move.

"No."

Yingxi shook her head.

He immediately raised an eyebrow.

Oh shit.

Now you're all disobedient, aren't you?

However, Zhou Xianzong was not angry, and simply said it calmly.

"Get ready. We should return to the Zhou Dynasty in a few days. There's no need to stay in Tianwu City any longer. If you want to see anyone, go and do so in the next couple of days. I'm afraid we won't have time to come back later."

In the storyline, Xiao Potian killed Xue Shi and resolved the war between the two sects.

His next goal is to conquer the ruins.

Zhou Xianzong would naturally also be going to the ruins, and would definitely not be returning to Tianwu City.

"So fast."

Yingxi was slightly startled, then shook her head.

"I have no one to rely on, and no one to say goodbye to."

"What are you saying? From now on, I will be your greatest support."

Zhou Xianzong smiled and ruffled her hair.

How could he not understand Yingxi?

Don't be fooled by this girl's seemingly indifferent and carefree demeanor.

There are still people I care about.

Before leaving, she went to see her childhood friend who had been homeless with her.

However, the plot only mentioned it briefly and didn't go into details.

Yingxi rolled her eyes.

"You go ahead with your work, I'm going back to my room."

Zhou Xianzong spoke.

Upon returning to his room, he immediately took out his diary and began to write.

The plot has been progressing smoothly lately, and what makes me very happy is that Mo Wu and Xiao Potian's relationship is genuinely good.

[Mo Wu went to great lengths for Xiao Potian; she even put on a big show for me today.]

Honestly, do you think I don't know you're just protecting Xiao Potian? Besides, I have no intention of killing him.

Next, Xiao Potian will destroy the Bloodstone, clean up the Crimson Tower, and utterly defeat the Overlord Body Sect.

[Li Badan should emerge from seclusion in the next couple of days, at which time the battle between the two sects will begin.]

I also need to prepare for entering the ruins. I'll be returning to the Zhou Dynasty in a couple of days, and I'll have to bring Erhu with me.

It's been quite a while since my mother last visited Tianwu City, and I really miss her.

Zhou Xianzong wrote something casually and then claimed the reward.

Mo Wu, who saw the diary, was speechless. She didn't know how Zhou Xianzong could tell that she and Xiao Potian had a good relationship.

They are clearly completely unrelated.

well.

This little guy is great in every way, except... his eyesight seems a bit off.

As for whether Xiao Potian would kill Xue Shi, she wasn't particularly interested.

Even if Xiao Potian doesn't make a move, she will.

On the other side, Luo Le'er was still a little nervous when she saw Li Badan about to emerge from seclusion.

After all, this is a matter of life and death for the Qingyang Sect.

Even though she knew that the Qingyang Sect would be destroyed and then rebuilt, she was still very worried.

"You want to take Erhu away before the war is even over? Dream on."

Luo Le'er gave a soft hum.

Erhu is different from Zhou Xianzong. He is a native of Tianwu City and grew up in Qingyang Sect.

He has grown up on the back of the Qingyang Sect, so he has no choice but to fight this battle.

It has a strong sense of determination to not return until the enemy is defeated.

"You can just find a place to stay in the courtyard. In a couple of days, you will come with me back to the Zhou Dynasty to report back."

Zhou Xianzong said calmly.

"yes."

The two responded simply and in unison.

They didn't talk much, nor did they ask why, but they were the most loyal assassins.

"You've been in Tianwu City for a while now, how are you feeling?"

Zhou Xianzong asked casually with a smile.

"It feels too backward, completely incomparable to the Zhou Dynasty, where people fight endlessly over the smallest gains."

Zhou Yan spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong laughed, "You really have to be someone from a big city."

Whether it's their knowledge or their mindset, they are indeed different.

"If they dared to oppose Your Highness, they would already be corpses by now. For Your Highness, we are willing to go through fire and water."

Zhou Miao's words were much harsher.

Zhou Xianzong glanced at him; he didn't want to take action unless absolutely necessary.

In the storyline, he did indeed take action very few times.

But each one is crucial.

Unlike Xiao Potian, who has experience points waiting for him to grind all day long.

"Go and secretly protect Yingxi. She's probably already left the manor. I'm worried something might happen to her."

Zhou Xianzong pointed at Zhou Miao and said.

Zhou Miao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected Zhou Xianzong to care so much about women other than Luo Le'er, especially since this woman's status was so low.

But Zhou Miao didn't ask any more questions, and simply responded without complaint.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away."

Zhou Xianzong nodded.

After Zhou Miao left, only Zhou Yan remained in the mansion to protect him closely.

He found a guest room and settled in.

On the other side

When Xue Shi, who was in Tianwu City, learned that his top assassin, Jing Lei, had been killed, he was filled with anger and resentment.

He was angry because Li Fugui dared to mess with his people, and furious because he never expected the old man to be so powerful.

"It seems I really underestimated Mo Wu. I didn't expect Li Fugui, who has always been by her side, to have such strength."

Bloodstone slammed his fist on the table, his anger barely contained.

"OP, what should we do next? Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

The assassins below were in a bit of a panic.

"You don't know anything. After the caravan is gone, even if I don't take the initiative, Mo Wu will still be watching me. It's just a matter of time. I might as well strike first."

Bloodstone shouted, his whole body radiating murderous intent.

"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Now that Jing Lei is dead, we can't force it. We can only rely on our own advantages to secretly eliminate the people from the Treasure Pavilion one by one. From today onwards, the assassins in the building will be divided into groups of ten. They are not allowed to act on their own during the day, but will carry out their hunts at night."

"yes."

"Your plan is brilliant; we are sure to turn the tide and win."

The assassins from Scarlet Tower shouted.

They also believed that Bloodstone would eventually defeat Ink Dance.
