Chapter 243: Chapter 242: New Objective

More than half an hour later, it was still that small tavern with the familiar crowd.Gazing at Asura, who was wearing a mask, Pretty Girl's eyes shimmered, and she suddenly said, "Why not remove the mask? If you want me to trust you, you shouldn't have any reservations."

Asura gently shook his head and said, "If I had no reservations at all, it actually wouldn't be safe for you. Who are we going to deal with this time?" He deftly changed the subject.

One can change their physique, but altering one's facial features is much harder, especially when there is a past life connection between the two. If he showed his face, even with a different appearance, he was worried Pretty Girl would recognize him.

"The Flash Leopard King," Pretty Girl didn't dwell on the matter of the mask anymore and revealed the target of their mission.

Asura's eyes flickered, "Are you trying to reignite the hatred between the Wind Wolf Tribe and the Flash Leopard Clan?" he deduced her purpose from her target. He himself had done something similar before. Only this time, Pretty Girl intended to take more drastic measures.

Pretty Girl nodded, "Since the King of the Wind Wolves died, there has been turmoil in the city for quite some time. The traces we left behind resembled those of tigers or wolves, but the claws marks are more or less the same across different species, including those of leopards. I deliberately made the marks a little smaller, imitating the claws of a Leopard demon. The Wind Wolves and Flash Leopards have long held grudges against each other, with deep-seated conflicts between them. Although there's no direct evidence, the two sides have already clashed fiercely several times. The situation has become quite chaotic. If it wasn't for other races suppressing them, forcing them to fight outside the city, there might already be chaos within the city itself."

Asura said, "In that case, the Flash Leopard King's defenses will be extremely tight. The method we used last time definitely won't work. The Flash Leopard King might not necessarily be stronger than the King of the Wind Wolves, but when it comes to survival, its innate abilities are somewhat stronger."

Pretty Girl said, "That's why this time I've decided to use brute force. Perhaps you don't know, my Demon God Transformation is precisely what counters the Flash Leopard Transformation."

A thought struck Asura who then realized the truth. The Flash Leopard Transformation itself doesn't completely control the power of space, but it does utilize spatial fluctuations to a certain extent for propulsion, thereby achieving instantaneous high speed. The Peacock demon's manipulation of space could precisely control this aspect. If the Flash Leopard King was only at Ninth Stage, with Pretty Girl's current cultivation base and the suppression of her bloodline, it might not be impossible to kill him.

"But we must avoid any discovery that you used the Peacock Transformation. We'd have to either silence them or attack when the Flash Leopard King is alone. Given their current hostility with the Wind Wolf Tribe, such an opportunity would be hard to come by."

Pretty Girl said, "There is an opportunity. Tomorrow night, the leaders of all the clans in Jiali City are summoned to the City Lord Manor for a meeting. After the meeting, they will all disperse individually. Going to the City Lord Manor for the meeting, the Flash Leopard King can only bring a few of his subordinates—not too many. Based on my estimate, at most eight. Although all of them are definitely strong, it would be much easier to handle them away from the Flash Leopard Clan Ancestral House. I'm hoping you can help me lure away his subordinates, giving me a chance to make my move. I need about five minutes. I'm confident."

Asura thought for a moment and then said, "Let's look at the map and plan in detail. But I must remind you, you need to have a contingency plan in case of failure. If it fails, we cannot reveal our identities."

Pretty Girl nodded and said, "That's why I called you here. Since it's an ambush on the road, we'll need to be quick." Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Asura said, "Let me think."

After contemplating for a moment, he said, "If you were to control it, could you ensure that all members of the Flash Leopard Clan, including the Flash Leopard King, are unable to use Leopard Flash?"

Pretty Girl replied, "I can do it for a short time. But I expect that those brought by the Flash Leopard King are all Eighth Stage powerhouses. At most, I can prevent them from using Leopard Flash for thirty seconds. Doing so, however, would definitely reveal my Peacock Transformation. Hence my plan is this: you draw away the other Flash Leopards, and I directly attack the Flash Leopard King's carriage, restricting only him. As long as I kill him, there's no fear of exposure."

Asura shook his head and said, "That's going to be difficult. Since they are escorts, protecting the Flash Leopard King is their utmost duty; luring them away might not be possible. After giving it some careful thought, the best plan would be for us to directly eliminate the Flash Leopard King along with all his subordinates in a short time, catching them all in one fell swoop."

"Is that feasible? Are you confident?" Pretty Girl's gaze was intense as she looked at Asura. Even now, she was uncertain about Asura's actual cultivation level.

Asura nodded and said, "If you can be sure to find their inevitable path, I'm confident I can do it."

"There should be no problem, I have already planned where to make our move," Pretty Girl said, spreading out the map and locating a specific area on it.

Asura scrutinized the location and nodded slightly, saying, "This place will do, it's secluded. Then it's settled, tomorrow we'll arrive here at the agreed time. I'll go ahead to set things up. If the Flash Leopard King's caravan really goes through here, we will annihilate them swiftly and completely. If they don't pass this way, we will cancel the plan and look for another opportunity. How does that sound?"

"Good," Pretty Girl replied. "What do you have in mind?"

Asura smiled faintly and said, "I'll prepare a little gift for them in advance. I need to start preparing now, or else it will be too late. I'll be taking my leave first." Having said this, he had already risen to his feet.

"Do you need my help?" Pretty Girl also stood up.

I just want to hug you, Asura thought secretly, but he shook his head outwardly and said, "See you tomorrow. The time will be as you just mentioned."

"Hmm."

Pretty Girl did not see him off. Asura left the inn on his own, ducking back into the Jiali Mountain Range as usual. Only after confirming that no one was following him did he return to the academy town.

Killing a group of eighth and ninth stage powerhouses in a short time sounds difficult. But if there are enough and sufficiently powerful hidden weapons set up in advance, it could even be easier than the operation in the Wind Wolf Ancestral House.

Especially since his cultivation state had just advanced to completion, his operational space was now much larger than before.

However, it meant he would have another sleepless night. Fortunately, now he had the Earth Shattering Hammer. With the power of the Earth Shattering Hammer, forging anything would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Tang San had his suspicions about the targets Pretty Girl wanted to assassinate. Hunting these Monster Clan powerhouses and inciting internal chaos in Jiali City would help weaken the opposing forces to her. Those whom she aimed to assassinate were certainly the ones who would stand against her future inheritance of the Peacock Demon Clan's successor position.

Weakening these opposing forces would reduce the pressure on her future succession to the throne. However, what he did not understand was, the Pretty Girl, who was only about fourteen years old now, was so anxious to take action. Could it be that the Peacock Demon King was going to choose an heir soon? Had the Peacock Demon King aged to such a degree?

Of course, he would not ask Pretty Girl about these things, as they pertained to the most important secrets of the Redemption Organization. All he needed to do was cooperate, as his feelings and trust in Pretty Girl were unreserved.

Jiali City, City Lord Manor.

In Jiali City, hundreds of Monster races exist, with dozens of them being relatively powerful. However, only twelve major races have established Jiali City as their foundation.

Among these twelve major races, the Peacock Demon Clan is undoubtedly the most powerful, also belonging to the City Lord lineage.

Besides, there are the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Clan, Golden Deer Clan, Golden Capricorn, Porcupine Demon Clan, Diamond Bear, Wind Wolf Demon, Flash Leopard Monster, Blazing Demon Lion, Earth Elephant Monster, Fire Fox Monster, and White-headed Falcon Demon — the eleven other major clans.

These eleven other Monster clans all obey the Peacock Demon Clan but also assist it in governing Jiali City. They form the backbone of Jiali City, especially the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Clan and the three Golden Clans.

These three Golden Monster clans may not be particularly powerful races, but a golden bloodline is a golden bloodline after all. They are clans with god-level powerhouses, the core forces of Jiali City.
