Ch :12 Assassination

The leader of assassins begged to spare his life to ye tian.

"Tell me who asked you to assassinate me, and I will leave you." Ye tian said to the leader.

"It's the Re xuangong. The young master of the azure hall." The leader quickly replied, fearing that ye tian will kill him if he delayed a bit.

"Why would he attack me? I don't have any enmity with him." Ye tian said with confusion.

"No, you don't have any enmity with him, but you attacked his brother and killed and azure guard." the leader replied.

"I see, so it's them." Ye tian finally remembered the incident where he bumped into someone and to defend himself he killed his guard.

"Spare me." The leader said.

"I never told you to spare your life, I just promised you to leave you. But not in which condition." Ye tian looked at the leader coldly and cut his legs with a sword he picked from one of the assassins.

"Ahhhhhhh!! You bast*rd! You dare to kill me! The young master will not spare you." The leader cursed at ye tian. Ye tian left the scene and got down from the mountain.

On the mountain, just as the leader was about to grab his pouch of healing medicine, a wild tiger came from behind the bush.

"No…no…noooooooooooo…ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" The leader was torn apart by the beast and killed.

Ye tian came to the restaurant and set down in a corner. He ordered some dishes. In the middle, some people were discussing, "have you heard the news? The three major sects, that were recruiting the disciples, have sent a ferry. It is said that it will arrive in two days."

Ye tian was listening to the conversation. After the meal, he got up and left the restaurant.

Ye tian didn't go to the home this time. Since his mother has left, there is no need for him to stay in that local sect any longer and can roam freely.

Ye tian went into an inn.

"What would you like, sir?" The man at the desk asked.

"A room with spirit gathering array for two days." Ye tian said.

"Yes, sir. We provide rooms with arrays at very cheap price. The price is 45 silvers per day. For two days it will be 90 silvers." The man explained and gave the account to ye tian.

"Yes, book it." Ye tian said.

"Yes, sir. This way sir." The man took ye tian to his room and said, " sir, here are your keys. And if you want anything, just tell the servant here." He pointed at the servant. After that, he left. Ye tian told the servant to do his work and don't disturb him. The servant left, and then ye tian sat down in the middle of the array and opened the array. He started to meditate.

At the evening, ye tian woke up from his meditation and ordered some food. After the dinner, he left the inn and decided to take a stroll in the market.

At the market , ye tian was looking at the various things when he noticed a killing intent. Ye tian looked around and found that far from him, in a shadow, there was a man looking at him. Ye tian saw him and then decided to walk away simply.

The man followed him, maintaining some distance between them. Ye tian entered the lingyue pavilion. The man saw ye tian entered the lingyue pavilion and did not follow him there.

After a long time, ye tian left the pavilion, knowing that the man would be gone, and returned to the inn. At the night, ye tian left the inn through a window.

At the azure alchemy hall,

An old man and a young boy were in the room, "Young master, the ferry will arrive tomorrow morning." the old man said.

"Has the preparations completed?" The boy asked.

"Yes, young master, all the preparations have been completed." The old man replied.

"Where is Re yuan?" The boy asked.

"The second young master has gone to weapon Smithy." The old man replied.

"Huh? Smithy? I told that brat to stay at hall." The boy was annoyed.

"Just forgive him young master. After all, he is just a child." the old man said. His eyes were filled with nostalgia, remembering the childhood of the boy standing in front of him.

"Fine, fine. Prepare everything, we are going as soon as the sun rises." The boy ordered.

"Yes young master." The old man left.

At the deserted Street, a small kid was walking. There was a guard with him who was guarding him. Behind them at some distance, a shadow was following them without anyone noticing it. The boy and guard were walking when they reached a dark area.

Suddenly, the shadow approached the guard and silently twisted his neck without the boy noticing anything. After some distance the shadow attacked the boy.

The boy was startled, but quickly regained his calm. He evaded the and was about to get away, but suddenly a dagger pierced through his abdomen.

The boy fell down and grabbed his stomach from pain.

"Who are…you? Do…you know who I am?" The boy said with arrogance but was having difficulty speaking.

"How dare you attack me? Do you know who i am? I am the second young master of the azure alchemy hall, Re yuan. Cut off your arm, destroy your Dantian and kneel down. I might leeave you a whole body." The boy was still arrogant.

"Haha, looks like you dont understand the sotuation you are in! your life is in my hands. You think that you can negotiate with me?" the shadow replied.

"Huh! How dare you try to kill me? My father is the leader of the azure alchemy hall. Do you think that you can get away after killing me? He will chase you down and kill your whole family and torture you to death." the boy threatened.

"..." the shadow didnt reply.

"Haha, yes. Fear me. If you destroy your Dantian and cut off your arms. I might tell my father to leave you a whole body." the boy was overjoyed at the reaction from thwe shadow.

"Noisy." The shadow swung his sword and sliced the throat of Re yuan.

"Ho..w dare you?" the boy said unwillingly.

"You think that i dont know who you are? and dont know your backing?" the shadow replied at the dying Re yuan.

"The..y will.. not spare... you." Re yuan was still threatening the shadow ad died on the spot.

The shadow picked up the bodies and left and vanished into the mountains.

In the moring,

"Young master, from the investigation, we found that the second young master left the Smithy and went to a hotel. And at mid night, he left the hotel and was returning but did not return." The old man reported to the Re xuangong.

"I don't want to hear anything. Find him at all cost." Re xuangong said angrily.

"Young master..... Young master... Young master bad news." A servant came running. He was completely exhausted.

"Young master, we found a clue about second young master."the man reported.

"What? Where?" Re xuangong said immediately.

"In the mountain behind the city." The man said.

As the man reported, Re xuangong took many masters and immediately left for the mountain. When he reached at the mountain, several men were waiting and immediately knelt down.

"We greet the young master." All said in union.

"Bring the clues and search entire mountain." Re xuangong ordered the men.

All the men set off instantly and searched all the mountains.

"Master, we could not find any other clues about the second young master." The men reported.

"What are you doing? You can't even find any clues!" Re xuangong was enraged at the men and smashed the table in front of him.

"Young master, here.. we found this." Suddenly a shout came from some distance. Re xuangong went to the direction of shout and came at the place. On a bush there was a piece of torn clothes.

"This is definitely left behind by the second young master." The old man said worriedly.

Re xuangong picked up the piece and examined it. Then a corner suddenly caught his eye. In the corner there was some blood spilled on the ground. He immediately came over the corner. In the corner, there was a half eaten hand and blood.

Re xuangong stared at the site and silently stood there like statue. The atmosphere dropped to the ice cold. The surroundings became completely silent. Suddenly Re xuangong roared and became furious, "who dares to kill him? Who?" The roar resounded in the entire mountain.

"Find out who did it! Find them out! If you dare to return empty handed, don't even think about leaving the place alive." Re xuangong said furiously.

All the men were frightened and quickly started to investigate the death of Re yuan.

"Young master, the time for selection is about to begin. The selection ceremony is about to start. We should leave for the ceremony." The old man said quietly in Re xuangong's ear.

"...." Re xuangong stayed silent for some time and then said, "Investigate all the people related to this insidentand inform my father about this. Let's go old man." Re xuangong ordered the men and left with old man.

In the arena of the village, which was located in the middle of the village,

Many people were gathered, sitting on the benches arranged in the raws. In the arena, 40 to 50 children were standing.

"Where are the sect elders and village chief? The sun is shining on the head but they still haven't come yet."

"Yes, someone call the village chief and confirm it."

"Yes, start the event."

The people started to get impatient and said loudly. Suddenly the door of the balcony opened and five to six people came out. Watching them, the arena became quiet.

"Everyone, keep silence." A man said loudly. His voice ringing in the arena. The quite arena became even more quiet.

"Let me introduce the lords present here. This is the elder from the Qingyan sect. This elder is from the Azure sea sect. And this lord is from the War dragon sect." The man introduced.

"We greet the four lords and village chief." The people bowed towards the balcony.

The man introducing every one was none other than the village chief.

"Now I announce the official start of selection trials. The trails begin." The village chief announced the beginning of the trials.
