BXBX NOVEL Chapter 157
In a deep, secluded space.
The high-ranking members of the Heavenly Domain gathered to discuss the plan to deal with Jiang Chen.
Originally, they planned to execute their previous strategy. However, the commotion Jiang Chen caused by stepping into the quasi-Saint realm and triggering the Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation forced them to pause their plan.
Jiang Chen’s monstrous talent ensured that various forces would secretly make their moves, prompting the Primordial Holy Land to strengthen its protective measures.
This meant that Jiang Chen’s protectors might not just include Mu Jianxue but possibly even a quasi-emperor, perhaps one of the Primordial Holy Land’s old monsters.
This made it impossible for the Heavenly Domain to execute their previous plan. According to their calculations, if they continued with the old plan, they were destined to fail!
As a result, they paused to prepare a new plan.
The Heavenly Domain had four major powerhouses. These four beings were the pillars of the Heavenly Domain, irreplaceable.
All four were at the Great Saint realm.
Tianxiang, Yinhun, Heitian, and the leader of the Heavenly Domain, Anying. These four were the top assassins in the Nine Heavens Realm.
During their active years, countless strong practitioners fell at their hands, including several Great Saints. Not to mention countless prodigies.
In the dark space, aside from Anying, the other three were present. Black masks covered their faces, and their eerie aura made it impossible to sense their presence.
“Why hasn’t the leader arrived yet?” Tianxiang broke the silence first, his heavy voice not at all resembling that of an assassin, more like a warrior who practiced physical cultivation.
“The leader is discussing countermeasures with someone and will be here shortly!” Yinhun’s voice was a sharp female tone, extremely grating, like fingernails on glass, making people very uncomfortable.
Heitian, however, remained silent, his aura almost imperceptible. If not for being seen with the naked eye, one wouldn’t even know someone was there.
About an hour later, a figure emerged from the shadows. Anying spoke in a cold, emotionless tone, “The True Dragon Clan is preparing to send a quasi-emperor at the fifth level to assist us!”
At these words, surprise flashed in everyone’s eyes. Even the usually silent Heitian couldn’t help but look over.
“Why are they helping us? Besides, we have little to do with the True Dragon Clan! Instead of having the True Dragon Clan intervene, why not have our master’s forces take action?” Yinhun’s tone was confused, not understanding why the True Dragon Clan was getting involved.
“I also don’t agree with involving the True Dragon Clan!” Tianxiang expressed his opinion.
Their concern wasn’t without reason. This task was exceptionally crucial, and having outsiders involved could lead to unforeseen complications. Any mistakes could have unimaginable consequences.
Faced with their opposition, Anying calmly said, “You don’t need to worry about the True Dragon Clan. They have an immense hatred for the Primordial Holy Land due to their current predicament caused by the Holy Land!”
“They want to eliminate the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land even more than we do!”
“Don’t worry about the True Dragon Clan betraying us. Their involvement provides extra security. Our master has already sent a quasi-emperor demon to assist.”
“With the addition of the True Dragon Clan’s quasi-emperor demon, our chances of success increase significantly!”
“Jiang Chen’s talent is extraordinary. He is now considered the greatest prodigy in history. Many believe that as long as he doesn’t perish prematurely, he will reach the Emperor realm with ease.”
“With such talent, the Primordial Holy Land will undoubtedly protect him with all their might, likely dispatching more than two strong protectors.”
“Coupled with the protection of emperor weapons, if only our master’s quasi-emperor takes action, we may not complete the task!”
“Moreover, our master only wants to hear of the Holy Son’s death. We must kill him at all costs!”
Although Anying was reluctant to involve the True Dragon Clan, considering Jiang Chen’s talent and the resources of the Primordial Holy Land, he had to make thorough preparations.
Otherwise, any mistake could lead to their eternal damnation.
“I agree!” Heitian’s voice finally broke the silence, surprisingly agreeing.
Seeing this, the other two did not oppose further. After all, Anying’s reasoning was sound. More quasi-emperors indeed provided greater security.
Furthermore, the True Dragon Clan’s deep-seated hatred for the Primordial Holy Land meant betrayal was unlikely. They would only strive to kill Jiang Chen.
“Since no one objects, we need to consider how to lure the Holy Son out!”
Anying said solemnly, “Times have changed. Ordinary things won’t easily lure the Holy Son out. Even if he wants to come out, the Primordial Holy Land may not agree!”
Without the Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation incident, they wouldn’t be so troubled. Jiang Chen’s monstrous talent ensured that the Primordial Holy Land’s protection would be substantial.
In the current situation, the Primordial Holy Land would likely not let Jiang Chen leave, fearing secret attacks from strong practitioners.
So, they had to devise a perfect plan to unknowingly lure the Holy Son out.
“Divine weapons, secret techniques—these are things the Holy Son does not lack! To lure him out, we need to find another way!” Tianxiang frowned.
For ordinary people, divine weapons and secret techniques were enough to attract them. But Jiang Chen was different. As the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land, he never lacked such things.
“I have an idea to lure him out!” Heitian’s voice sounded, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
“What idea?” The others were curious.
“Divine techniques, resources—these are things the Holy Son doesn’t lack. What can catch his attention must be related to his physique!”
“I happen to know of a place with the remnants of a former Supreme Origin Dao Physique’s cave, containing its Dao insights!”
“This might attract the Holy Son! Moreover, this cave can only be opened by a Supreme Origin Dao Body!”
Heitian said calmly, “Although the Holy Son doesn’t care about many things, anything related to his physique and Dao insights will surely attract him!”
The others’ eyes lit up as this was indeed a good plan. It seemed to be the only way to attract Jiang Chen. The Supreme Origin Dao Body was Jiang Chen’s physique, extremely rare, and Dao insights even rarer.
If Jiang Chen obtained them, it would greatly enhance his Dao comprehension and cultivation. The Holy Son would undoubtedly come.
“This plan is feasible! But how do we get this information to the Holy Son without arousing suspicion? Sending it secretly will only alert the Primordial Holy Land!” Anying frowned.
They had a plan, but how to convey the information without it being suspected as a trap was a challenge.
“Why do it secretly? Spread it openly! Only this way will the Primordial Holy Land feel at ease. Besides, the cave’s opening conditions are enough to deter others.”
“Even if other forces know, they can’t open it and will leave. Moreover, they know this cave is crucial to the Primordial Holy Land!”
“Likely, some forces will hide and wait for an opportunity to kill the Holy Son. We might not even need to act; these forces could kill the Holy Son for us!” Heitian said.
The others thought about it and agreed this was a good method. If executed smoothly, it was like using a borrowed knife to kill.
They wouldn’t need to rush to act; other forces could test the Primordial Holy Land first.
“This is feasible!” Anying quickly decided.
Soon, this news spread throughout the Nine Heavens Realm, causing a huge stir, with various forces rushing to the cave to obtain its treasures.
They might covet the contents, but mainly they didn’t want Jiang Chen to get them.
Jiang Chen had already made them look up to him. If he obtained this, it would be adding flowers to a brocade, making him even harder to deal with in the future.
