Huangxiu

Chapter 1014 Solution
In fact, the methods of assassination are nothing more than the same old ones; there has been no innovation throughout history.

But it always works.

What they sought was to strike unexpectedly and kill with a single blow.

The consequences of assassinating themselves have been clearly demonstrated by the experts of the demon and monster races.

Anyone below the Venerable level who wants to assassinate him has no hope; only the Venerable level is acceptable.

Even ordinary venerable ones are no match for him, and his efforts are in vain.

This kind of venerable being, nearing the end of his lifespan, has mastered top-tier secret techniques. In a situation where both the living and the dead are destroyed, the assassination is most effective.

If such a venerable being does not act directly, but instead launches a sneak attack or assassination, the effect will be even stronger.

There were twelve experts, the others were just a facade, and the one who was truly in charge of taking action was this Venerable One.

Li Miaotan's beautiful face was covered with frost as she coldly said, "As expected of Yuan Zhen!"

She concluded that Emperor Yuanzhen was playing tricks, outwardly promising not to pursue them, but secretly not stopping and sending someone else to do the work.

Chu Liezhao said, "Madam, there's no need to get angry with him. They sent people to assassinate us, and they won't come back alive. Let's see how many experts Yuanzhen really has."

Li Miaotan's bright eyes flickered.

Chu Liezhao said, "If he thinks he has too many experts, then send more assassins. If we don't kill them until he's heartbroken and dares not send anyone over again, then I'm not Chu!"

Li Miaotan's eyes sparkled, and she smiled, "My husband's spirit is... good, let's see how many assassins he sends!"

For the Yuanzhen Dynasty, there were many revered figures, but even the most numerous were finite, and each death meant one less to be had.

Moreover, these venerable ones are highly accomplished, hold high positions, and have high aspirations; they are not so devoted to the emperor.

If a few Venerable Ones die, the others will no longer come to their deaths.

Even if Emperor Yuanzhen ordered them to come, they still had ways to escape.

The Venerable One who terrified Yuan Zhen—that's the true spirit of a martial artist.

In this respect, I am truly far inferior.

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "Then let's start with the experts from Zixiao Jade Pavilion. But judging from the situation, Yu Kunlun Palace can handle them."

Li Miaotan gently shook her head: "Yu Kunlun Palace and Zixiao Jade Pavilion have no deadly feud, so they shouldn't go to their deaths... Are these experts from Zixiao Jade Pavilion really here to assassinate us?"

"We'll know once we try," Chu Liezhao said.

Li Miaotan looked at him.

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, he put his arm around Li Miaotan's slender waist and floated away, skimming over the treetops and landing in the center of the dense forest, only three zhang away from the fighting crowd.

The two sides were engaged in fierce fighting.

The clash of swords and blades in the air caused a howling wind and billowing dust.

The wild grass on the ground had long been swept away, and only the trunks of the tall trees remained, as if all the branches and leaves had been forcibly stripped away.

Both sides were experts. When they noticed someone, they turned around and saw Chu Liezhao and Li Miaotan.

A handsome young man from Jade Kunlun Palace changed his expression slightly and hurriedly shouted, "Disciples of Jade Kunlun Palace are here. Those who are not involved, please make way!"

He blinked hard, giving Li Miaotan a meaningful look.

Li Miaotan smiled in a way that was neither a smile nor a frown.

She realized the Jade Kunlun Palace disciple's good intentions—that she should quickly leave and not come any closer.

He even pretended not to recognize her.

The experts from Zixiao Jade Pavilion glanced over, their expressions unchanged, but their gazes narrowed slightly.

Chu Liezhao chuckled lightly: "It seems they all recognize Madam."

Li Miaotan was the most beautiful woman in the capital, but she wouldn't dare say that everyone in the capital knew her.

Not to mention the Yuanzhen people.

These Yuanzhen masters all recognized Li Miaotan, knowing without asking that she had done her homework beforehand.

This alone proves that they have ulterior motives.

Li Miaotan also thought of this, her bright eyes narrowed, and she sneered, "You've come to assassinate me, haven't you?"

Chu Liezhao said, "It's almost certainly true."

Although their voices were soft, they were clearly heard by everyone.

Both sides' expressions changed slightly.

The Jade Kunlun Palace was furious, cursing inwardly that these guys really didn't take the Jade Kunlun Palace seriously, daring to assassinate the Twelfth Princess within the Jade Kunlun Palace's territory.

The experts of Zixiao Jade Pavilion were burning with murderous intent.

Unexpectedly, Li Miaotan saw through their intentions immediately.

Is this the power of the Phoenix bloodline?

Their killing intent intensified, and they secretly resolved not to let this menace live. They were determined to kill Li Miaotan today, and it would be even better if they could also deal with Chu Liezhao.

If only one can be killed, then Li Miaotan should be the first choice!

Chu Liezhao looked at Li Miaotan.

Looking at the chilling killing intent in the eyes of these experts from the Purple Cloud Jade Pavilion, Li Miaotan shook her head slightly: "They really came to kill me."

Chu Liezhao said, "Then let's deal with them."

Li Miaotan sighed and nodded gently.

Chu Liezhao formed hand seals, and beams of golden light condensed and instantly descended.

These experts from the Purple Cloud Jade Pavilion were instantly immobilized, their true essence locked. The experts from the Jade Kunlun Palace, naturally, showed no mercy, ruthlessly striking down their opponents.

However, they all showed mercy and did not kill him outright.

Chu Liezhao shook his head and looked at Li Miaotan: "It seems we'll have to do it ourselves."

Li Miaotan frowned slightly.

After all, the Jade Kunlun Palace was the Jade Kunlun Palace; it was neither his subordinate nor a member of the imperial court.

They were considering the interests of their own sect, not the imperial court, and certainly not themselves.

Chu Liezhao's figure flashed, becoming blurry before becoming clear again.

It seemed as if they had never moved, but the two Venerables whose acupoints had been sealed had empty eyes, and their divine light had dimmed and gone out.

They died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

Originally, he was concealing his true abilities in order to launch a sudden and deadly attack.

Unexpectedly, when the golden light fell, they were unable to move.

The Venerable One's true essence was also locked up.

However, the Venerable One, whose true essence was locked, remained unable to move as his acupoints were sealed.

Then he fell victim to Chu Liezhao's wicked schemes.

"Your Highness..." the handsome young man clasped his hands and said, "These experts should be handed over to the Mountain Patrol Academy."

Chu Liezhao waved his hand: "Then take them away... Swords have no eyes, it's not surprising that two people die in a fight."

“…Yes.” The handsome young man nodded helplessly.

Now that things have come to this, and they're already dead, we can't punish the twelve princes-in-law.

He said in a deep voice, "Then we shall take our leave."

Chu Liezhao smiled and said, "We'll take our leave first and not get in the way."

He embraced Li Miaotan's graceful figure, and in the blink of an eye, they flew up to the peak and disappeared.

"This is Princess Twelfth? She truly lives up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital."

"frivolous!"

"Hey, Junior Brother Sun, you're not frivolous, your eyes are practically popping out of your head!"

"It must be said that Her Highness the Twelfth Princess is indeed extremely beautiful, but her husband is also quite formidable."

"This prince consort is extremely formidable, with a notorious reputation for killing."

"Only this one is worthy of the Twelfth Princess."

"I believe that no one in the world is worthy of the Twelfth Princess."

"Even Senior Brother Meng won't do?"

"Senior Brother Meng... it's a pity he's in seclusion, hehe..."

Their words reached Chu Liezhao's ears, causing him to shake his head inwardly.

The disciples of Jade Kunlun Palace are also human beings. The younger disciples are no different from other young people, except that they have higher aptitude.

He drew a portal of light on the mountaintop, and with Li Miaotan in his arms, they stepped through it, reappearing in the valley of Kunlun Cave Heaven.

Li Miaotan asked, "Just kill those two?"

“These two are Venerable Ones,” Chu Liezhao said. “The others are not Venerable Ones.”

"Are those two Venerable Ones?" Li Miaotan asked curiously, her delicate brows furrowed.

She didn't even realize it.

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "If you can't hide your aura, how can you assassinate someone?"

"They really shouldn't be underestimated," Li Miaotan said.

Unaware that the two were Venerable Ones, he was bound to lower his guard and let them get close and attack suddenly, so he might not be able to escape unscathed.

I couldn't sense it at all!
As the two were talking, the three women from before reappeared, smiling sweetly, their attitudes completely different.

The young woman at the head of the group clasped her hands in greeting: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the experts from Zixiao Jade Pavilion who came this time are indeed up to no good and want to assassinate you."

She continued, "We will never give up, and we will definitely get this debt back."

Li Miaotan said calmly, "Yes, let's go."

She was too lazy to say anything more to Yu Kunlun Palace.

Chu Liezhao laughed and asked, "How do you intend to collect this debt?"

The young woman solemnly declared, "Disciples of the Purple Cloud Jade Pavilion will never be allowed to appear in our Jade Kunlun Palace again."

Chu Liezhao immediately smiled and shook his head.

The young woman frowned slightly: "What does Your Highness think we should do?"

Chu Liezhao said, "The way Jade Kunlun Palace handled this is far too weak."

"Then how can I avoid being weak?" the girl asked.

Chu Liezhao said, "Cripple these guys, and then detain that elder as well."

The girl's expression changed slightly.

Chu Liezhao chuckled and shook his head, saying, "You wouldn't dare, would you?... Is this the aura of the Jade Kunlun Palace? You got slapped, but all you did was chase the person away?"
