"Will you be able to handle the duo from Heaven Oracle Sect?" Yin Shan asked Ye Tian Yun.
"I can handle them." Ye Tian Yun reassured him.
Yin Shan frowned, "Shu Xian, you're being overconfident here. And trust me, I have seen hundreds of overconfident people get a miserable death."
"Cough, that's a new kind of confidence booster." Ye Tian Yun shrugged.
The Elder, too, shook his head and said, "Shu Xian, you should bring Yin Shan. He won't interfere, but if you get into trouble, he will be able to assist you. At least you will be able to come back alive."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Elder, you're underestimating my battle prowess. I promise that I will bring you those disciples' heads."
"Hmm," the Elder slightly frowned, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Alright, go ahead. I will wait for the result."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and left the room.
Seeing his exit, the Elder glanced at Yin Shan and gave a slight nod.
Yin Shan understood the sign, and he too left the room, albeit from the window.
"Elder, are you planning to send Senior Brother Yin Shan to protect Shu Xian secretly?" Jia Lei Shan asked.
The Elder nodded his head, "Indeed. Shu Xian is important for us. Not only is he a talented disciple, but he also has high intelligence."
"With his plan, we can easily end this mission. However, be prepared for this one, Jia Lei Shan."
"What is it, Elder?" Jia Lei Shan asked with a small frown.
The Elder replied, "Shu Xian will become our liability once this is done. This is why when the time comes... we will give a fitting end to him."
Jia Lei Shan was slightly surprised but didn't ask anything, "I will follow your commands, Elder."
"Hmm, now go and make preparations for the next two days."
"Yes, Elder." Jia Lei Shan nodded his head and left the hall.
'After Shu Xian, it will be your turn, and then Yin Shan. Token Of Fate is too good for the Vice Leader; wouldn't it be better if I chose to keep it?'
'With its power, the Token Of Fate will most likely push me to the Vice Leader's position within the sect. Once I get there, I will have no fear from the Vice Leader.'
The Elder felt quite relieved from the inside as he thought about finally escaping from his miserable fate.
...
At night, In a certain tavern.
Lust-filled wild moans echoed throughout the hall of this fully booked tavern.
In the last few days, this was the third fully booked tavern, and just like the other three, this was also booked by a single party.
To be more precise, it was booked by two male disciples two nights ago.
The tavern owner had gladly accepted the hefty payment and had gone to prepare good food and wine.
To his confusion, this duo disappeared from the inn. They had disappeared for a whole night - only appearing after the morning in front of the panicked tavern owner.
Just as the tavern owner had calmed down, he suddenly began to hear an argument, and then there were weird noises coming from their room.
At first, it felt as if they were fighting but then... When the tavern owner paid quite some attention, it was pretty clear that someone was moaning!
Moaning out a pleasure!
'But they were two boys... I didn't send any maid...'
'Wait, don't tell me, they both... But that's impossible! The moans are of a girl!'
The situation confused the tavern owner a lot; however, in the end, he decided not to care about it.
After all, those two boys had already paid for this place.
They could do anything they wished, and the tavern owner had no plans to interfere.
But how long could he keep his mind still?
The moaning went on for the whole day, albeit taking small breaks in between.
'Did they book the tavern because of this?'
Finally, the owner couldn't calm his curiosity.
He wanted to know who this girl was!
'Don't tell me it's actually one of the boys!'
In his mind, this was also a dreadful possibility, or else why would they book the whole tavern just to perform the hormone-let-go game for an entire day.
After a few minutes of thinking, the tavern owner came up with an excuse to peek inside the room.
'One peek is enough for me to confirm the truth.'
Taking a long breath, he filled himself with courage and walked towards the room.
As he stepped closer to the halls, the moans grew louder.
'This is definitely a girl's voice!'
The tavern owner suddenly had a feeling that he shouldn't barge inside, and after getting some consciousness, he turned around to head back.
But suddenly, he felt his robe below the neck get wet.
In confusion, he touched his neck, and suddenly an intense pain wafted throughout his body as he slowly kneeled on the ground.
Feeling confused and overwhelmed.
He tried to cry in pain, but nothing came out of his mouth, and within a few moments, his life withered, and his eyes closed for eternity.
The occupants of the room, busy in their hormone game, hadn't noticed the smell of blood creeping towards them.
By the time they did sense something wrong, it was too late.
The door suddenly opened, and a half-naked teenager came out.
He was none other than the Heaven Oracle Sect Disciple, Qin Wentian.
Covering himself with the bedsheets, he was staring at the dead body of a man - who seemed to have a quite familiar stature.
'Isn't that the tavern owner? Was he peeking? How did he get caught? But who killed him?'
Fully alert, he signaled to Ji Yi, who was inside the room, and then slowly closing the door, he took out a sword from his spatial ring.
However, after looking everywhere, he found no clue.
'Maybe the assassin isn't here for me?'
Suddenly he heard someone choking.
It was coming from his room!
"Ji Yi!"
Qin Wentian rushed inside the room, and as soon as he pushed open the gate, he was shocked by the bloody sight in front of him.
The first thing that caught his eye was the head of Ji Yi, spiked on a spear.
And behind it, on a wall, was something written in blood red.
[Devil Sect greets the Heaven Oracle Sect]
"You bastards!!"
A loud shout rang throughout the surroundings of the tavern.
