Daily Intelligence: Start by Obtaining the Sword Saint's Legacy

41: Midnight Murder[Today’s Intel 3: In half an hour, at the East Gate of the Jubei Marquiss Residence, Ye Wentian will attempt to take advantage of the heavily injured Zi Yun during the chaos!]

Damn!

He knew that bastard was up to no good.

To think he actually planned to force himself on Zi Yun.

Although he didn’t have romantic feelings for Zi Yun, he didn’t want to see her defiled by that bastard Ye Wentian.

Especially since this man was extremely calculating!

He likely had other motives.

If he used this to blackmail Zi Yun, wouldn’t that put him in a passive position as well?

At the thought of this...

Under the cover of the deep night, Chen Xian...

...silently moved through the Jubei Marquiss Residence.

Meanwhile.

The slaughter in the back garden continued.

This time, the Demonic Cultivators intended to catch a few big fish.

When the Cultivators of the North and South Continents saw the Demonic Cultivators, their eyes burned with even more hatred.

If not for the Demonic Cultivators causing chaos and throwing the North and South Continents into turmoil, their strength wouldn’t have been so greatly diminished, and they wouldn’t have to endure the whims of the East, West, and Central Continents!

For a time, they were locked in an inseparable battle.

Chen Xian watched with great interest.

He hadn’t expected the two sides to be so evenly matched.

Both were determined to kill the other.

Chen Xian didn’t harbor any particular hatred for Demonic Cultivators.

In his eyes, whether someone was a demon or a human depended on the situation.

Some people did things that were far less honorable than those of Demonic Cultivators.

Soon.

Chen Xian spotted two suspicious figures.

”Brother Wentian, where are we going?”

Ye Wentian whispered, ”Junior Sister Zi Yun, you’re heavily injured. Naturally, I’m taking you to heal!”

Zi Yun was a bit confused.

A chaotic battle was already raging in the back garden.

Earlier, Ye Wentian said he would take her to heal, but as they walked, it only got darker.

She had an ominous premonition.

”Brother Wentian, I’m not going anymore. I want to find Revered Master and the others!”

Zi Yun staggered and was about to turn away when Ye Wentian grabbed her and slammed her against the wall.

”What are you doing?”

Ye Wentian said somewhat frenziedly, ”Sister Zi Yun! Naturally, I want to become Dao Companions with you!”

Hearing this...

...Zi Yun’s expression changed drastically.

She desperately tried to push Ye Wentian away, but she was already heavily injured.

How could she possibly move him?

”I am a Fairy of the Yaochi Immortal Palace. If you force me like this, I will definitely tell Revered Master and the others!”

”Jie jie jie, go ahead and tell them! I’ll record our intimate scene right now and see what you have to say then!”

”Ye Wentian, how could you do this?”

”Hehe, I’ve always been like this!”

Ye Wentian had actually set his sights on Zi Yun long ago, but he hadn’t taken it seriously, thinking that as long as he showed a bit of masculine charm, he could definitely make this simple and silly woman throw herself into his arms!

But today in the back garden, during the match between Chen Xian and Wang Li...

...Ye Wentian had clearly seen Zi Yun’s worried expression!

That was genuine panic and concern!

Ye Wentian felt a sense of panic that things were slipping out of his control, so he wanted to force the issue tonight and make it a done deal.

That way, with a bit of intimidation and brainwashing, he could surely make Zi Yun serve his purposes!

Although the process was different, the result would be the same!

This was also the first time he felt he had taken the initiative since arriving in the North Continent, after feeling like his Opportunities were constantly being snatched away.

A long-lost feeling!

But in the next second, a sword light pierced directly through his shoulder!

Shua!

Ye Wentian let out a miserable scream.

He turned around and discovered that his right arm had actually fallen to the ground.

Before the pain could even set in...

...he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen!

He was kicked flying by Chen Xian.

Pu!

Ye Wentian collapsed on the ground.

He stared at the dark figure in disbelief!

Just who was ruining his good plans?!

Chen Xian caught the trembling Zi Yun.

In the next second, they vanished into thin air.

The events that occurred in those few seconds, like a flash of lightning...

...left Ye Wentian dazed before the ensuing agony made his screams pierce the night sky!

In an uninhabited room within Marquis Jubeis Residence...

...Chen Xian carefully placed Zi Yun on the bed.

”Are you alright?”

Zi Yun’s body twitched, and hearing Chen Xian’s familiar voice, she finally snapped out of it.

She threw her arms around Chen Xian and wailed loudly.

Seeing this woman’s snot and tears all over him...

Chen Xian also looked disgusted.

”Alright, alright, didn’t I save you?”

”In the future, don’t keep thinking your Brother Wentian is a good person. If he were good, he wouldn’t have done this!”

Zi Yun looked at Chen Xian with bloodshot eyes.

”Why didn’t you kill him?”

”Please, he’s the Prodigy of the Ye Family. If I killed him, who knows if I’d be targeted by those old monsters of theirs? Besides, when I was saving you, two powerful auras were rapidly approaching.”

”If we hadn’t left then, we probably wouldn’t have been able to leave at all.”

Zi Yun sniffled.

Seeing Chen Xian about to leave, she immediately hugged him.

”Where are you going?”

”I have some business to take care of. You heal here first, and I’ll come back for you in a while, okay?”

Chen Xian couldn’t exactly say he was going to ambush Lin Xiangzhong!

The less she knew about such matters, the better.

Seeing Zi Yun looking at him pitifully, with tear-filled eyes like a wet puppy...

Chen Xian couldn’t help but give her a kiss on the lips.

”Be good!”

He stroked her hair.

Then he left.

Well, he saved her life, so a kiss wasn’t a big deal!

However, after Chen Xian left, a trace of a smile appeared on Zi Yun’s face in the room!

In the darkness!

Chen Xian’s figure darted through the Jubei Marquiss Residence.

In this home that was familiar in his memories, Chen Xian followed the location from the intel.

He finally arrived near a certain building.

Under the moonlight.

Chen Xian looked down at a trail of bloody footprints on the ground.

He silently followed the footprints all the way inside the building.

Inside, four people were already covered in wounds.

One of them whispered, ”Elder Lin, we should hurry and leave!”

”Everyone can’t hold on much longer, especially with Chen Buyu’s troops outside the city. If they charge in, we’ll likely be wiped out!”

Lin Xiangzhong slumped on the ground and said through gritted teeth, ”It’s all because of that little bastard Chen Xian. If I see him again, I’ll definitely take his life!”

His plan was originally flawless.

After all, given his status, no one would suspect him of colluding with Demonic Cultivators.

Even with the Medicinal Pills, Lin Xiangzhong thought that once the two of them took them, Chen Xian would surely be defeated. That way, no one would suspect the pills.

Then he would immediately distribute the Medicinal Pills to everyone.

But he never expected that Wang Li would be the one injured instead.

While Chen Xian was fine.

Thinking back on it now...

...Lin Xiangzhong realized what happened.

He had been set up!

Chen Xian must know something!

Otherwise, why was he fine after taking the Medicinal Pill!

Just then, completely unknown to them, a dark shadow had already arrived silently!
