Chapter 695
With hundreds of heavily armored soldiers, Wu Qi spent a long time searching the airspace where the Bear Slaughtering Arrow had been released from . But, they did not find even a single shadow except for a slight immortal energy fluctuation . The airspace was on the edge of the formation laid out by the alliance, so Wu Qi believed that some immortal had sneaked out of the formation and shot the arrow at him from behind the clouds .
A peak Heaven Immortal could use his divine sense to target the enemy billions of miles away . On top of that, because the Bear Slaughtering Arrow was a lethal weapon crafted by the Heaven, it was claimed that it could reach the target that one's divine sense could lock down in just a flash . In other words, if the target was within ten miles or a hundred miles, the arrow could reach in the blink of an eye; if the target was ten thousand miles, a million miles, or even hundreds of millions of miles away, the arrow could still be able to strike accurately as long as the target could be locked down by the divine sense .
In all these years, no one had ever escaped from the lockdown of a Bear Slaughtering Arrow! That was why after the arrow killed two military officers and two Oracles behind Wu Qi, everyone thought its target was one of them . No one doubted that it was actually aimed at Wu Qi .
They searched within the clouds for a while, but could not find any clues . Exasperated, they each glared fiercely down at the chasm not far away, growling and cursing loudly before returning to the field headquarter and reporting to King Yang Qiu what they found .
While Wu Qi was furiously trying to find out who had attempted to assassinate him with such a vicious weapon, many of the immortals in the chasm, including Lord Wandering Immortal, were dumbfounded . Just now, when Wu Qi and hundreds of soldiers were searching among the clouds, they all could clearly see his face—King Yang Qiu's new personal guard, Tan Lang, was not killed by the Bear Slaughtering Arrow!
With Lord Wandering Immortal's prestigious status in the alliance, he only had three Bear Slaughtering Arrows . Over the years, he had used them to kill two of Great Yu's generals . Both assassinations were successful; not only were the targets killed, but several military officers who were with them were killed at the same time as well . However, why did his last arrow fail to even hurt Wu Qi today?
Lord Wandering Immortal stood on the top of a lofty mountain, looking out at Wu Qi as he went away and speaking to himself in a low voice, "Apparently, this fellow is not an easy target . I have to think of some other way!" He did not really care much about the large number of energy stones and immortal stones that Immortal Gourd was showing them . But, the extremely safe and secret cave abode the client had promised was something he truly longed for .
The immortals of the alliance, and even all the other ordinary itinerant cultivators, knew that Great Yu possessed a special treasure, the copy of Pangu's Map . Any unusual activity in all the energy veins on Pangu Continent would immediately be detected by this unique treasure . Therefore, whenever someone dared to build a cultivation cave abode near any energy vein, they would be immediately and forcefully suppressed by Great Yu's officials .
But, Gourd Immortal Market was a unique case . It had been in business for hundreds of years, yet Great Yu's authorities had never found it . This proved that the person behind it had a very strong background and diplomatic skills, as he could guarantee the safety of Gourd Immortal Market . If so, why couldn't there be a cave abode as safe as it?
A cave abode on Pangu Continent that could not be discovered by Great Yu's authorities!
The thought of what this cave abode stood for made Lord Wandering Immortal's blood boil and his body burn! Even if he did not think for himself, he must make the best arrangements for his descendants . He was determined to get the cave abode, so he must kill that lucky personal guard of King Yang Qiu at all costs!
'The plan has already stated that they are all going to pay a visit to the Eight Treasures Lotus Throne . So, it will not be a big deal if they are all dead!' He thought as he looked from the corner of his eyes at the many allies standing beside him with a sinister smile on his face, then transformed into a breeze and flew back into the small lake in the middle of the chasm . A sheet of rainbow light radiated out of the surface of the lake, followed by two streams of air that were shaped like a Ganoderma and Ruyi . They tried to shoot into the sky, but were immediately pressed back into the lake by the rainbow light .
…
In the great hall of the field headquarter, Wu Qi reported the results of his search to King Yang Qiu .
King Yang Qiu nodded slowly when he heard that Wu Qi had not found any clues about the assassin . Those who could use Bear Slaughtering Arrows in Pangu Continent were usually not ordinary immortals, and the Heaven was definitely behind them . In fact, King Yang Qiu did not expect Wu Qi to catch the assassin either . He was just making an attitude .
Right now, King Yang Qiu had put all his mind on the top-secret intelligence Liu Bang had just provided him . He ordered almost all the people in the hall to leave, leaving only Yu Qingcheng, Wu Qi, and a dozen military officers and Oracles . The heavy stone doors closed slowly while countless huge runes slid down from the ceiling, turning the entire hall into a completely enclosed space .
"The assassin must have been sent by Lord Wandering Immortal to make a provocation . We don't have to deal with him now!" said King Yang Qiu indifferently with a frown . "We'll wipe all those halls that form the alliance, such as the Wandering Immortal Hall, Ascending Immortal Hall, Stealth Immortal Hall, and Divine Hall, after we have killed their Sovereign!"
He said confidently while clenching his fists, "In the face of Great Yu's mighty army, the alliance's immortals can now only barely resist by colluding with the local itinerant cultivators and immortals, as well as with the formations laid down using the geographical advantages available to them . It is clear that the alliance will soon be overthrown . The only reason they keep fighting us is that they think their Sovereign can lead them and defeat Great Yu . "
Yu Qingcheng smiled faintly and shook his head contemptuously while taking the opportunity to dart a look at Wu Qi .
