Free Web NovelChapter 1994: Chapter 1994: A New Mission for Yao Yulou
Previously, it was exactly because Pei Kuang hadn’t taken the Soul Dominator’s Heir seriously enough that the entire Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall plan ended in ruin.
Qian Ta of course knew this couldn’t be blamed on the Tower Master; after all, back then they thought sending the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall to Willow Leaf City was already more than enough. At that time Pei Kuang’s order was for Pei Chang and Pei Yupo to wipe out the Willow Leaf City Region while taking out the Soul Dominator’s Heir at the same time.
He had already given them sufficient arrangements...
But who could have imagined that the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, with Holy Martial Stage Pei Chang at the head, would suffer a crushing defeat? After that there was also the First Emperor of Qianwang and the one famed as the World’s Number One Array Master.
With such a terrifyingly powerful lineup, who back then would have dared say Pei Kuang wasn’t taking it seriously?
"Ha, hahaha..."
All of a sudden, Pei Kuang burst into laughter, the sound laced with lingering chill that made even Qian Ta, also at the Holy Martial Stage, tremble.
The next moment, amid Qian Ta’s puzzlement, Pei Kuang said coldly, "In fact, the situation is much better than we imagined. There is no other force or powerhouse standing behind Overlord Commerce; it’s all the Soul Dominator’s Heir stirring the waters."
"The one who defeated my seventh younger brother was only the Battle Puppet of the Qianyuan War Emperor from three thousand years ago, and he’s already dead beyond dead."
Just like Sikong Jing had previously told Murong Jianyun...
After Pei Kuang received all the war intelligence from Willow Leaf City, he truly let out a breath of relief. What he’d been worried about was which terrifying Soldier Formation Master from some great power had appeared to defeat Pei Xie...
This person would have been the single most crucial variable, but in the end it was only the fleeting reappearance of the Qianyuan War Emperor...
Although the appearance of the Qianyuan War Emperor was extremely strange, even absurd, Pei Kuang no longer needed to consider external powers; he only had to consider Overlord Commerce.
The opponent was just Overlord Commerce alone, which made things much simpler for Qianwang Holy Tower.
As for why the Qianyuan War Emperor suddenly returned from the dead and appeared again, the trail naturally pointed to the Willow Leaf Holy Tomb.
That was not the key point.
"Next, we only need to remove the Soul Dominator’s Heir."
"However, it can basically be confirmed that the Soul Dominator’s Heir holds in his hands most of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, and he has very likely received the guidance and teachings of Su Old Demon and the Qianyuan War Emperor. So what we have to consider is whether we want him alive or dead."
Hearing this, Qian Ta deeply agreed.
Back when Feng Leibao was still alive he had already sent a second Message Bird back to Qianwang Holy Tower; it was exactly as Ye Wushen had said: the Soul Dominator’s Heir was in fact the husband of Su Old Demon’s granddaughter, and he had come out of the East Plain Northern Land.
Thus it could now basically be confirmed that he was such a genius precisely because he had received Su Old Demon’s teachings and guidance.
Coupled with the existence of the Qianyuan War Emperor, it was no surprise that the Soul Dominator’s Heir had a complete Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map on him, and he was definitely also the leader of Su Old Demon Remnants—this point could likewise be confirmed.
So what they now had to contemplate was whether to capture him alive or simply kill him outright.
Pei Kuang’s eyes flashed with sharp light again...
He quickly made up his mind, then lifted his head and said, "Right now, send a new mission to Yao Yulou."
"I want him to assassinate the Soul Dominator’s Heir!"
"He must succeed within three days after the Soul Dominator’s Heir returns to Overlord City. Otherwise, Yao Yulou will either die at the hands of the Soul Dominator’s Heir, or return to the Thousand Prison Tower to be imprisoned, and his younger sister will continue the mission..."
"You arrange the specifics personally."
Hearing this order, icy light flickered in Qian Ta’s eyes as he stared fixedly at Pei Kuang in confusion.
The latter let out another string of vicious sneers and said, "I suspect that this little piece, Yao Yulou, isn’t as obedient as Yu Xian and the others claimed he was back then. He’s very likely one of the moles. We’ll see how he behaves in the face of this new mission."
At this, Qian Ta suddenly understood, clasped his fists heavily, and indicated he had taken the order.
Qian Ta also understood that if Yao Yulou really succeeded, then so be it; if the Soul Dominator’s Heir died, then he died... Having him alive would indeed be excellent, but there was no need to deliberately endanger the grand situation and the overarching plan to conquer the world just for him.
As for the other plans, they would wait until after Yao Yulou’s assassination attempt succeeded or failed.
Dong, dong, dong...
After issuing this order, there was no need to dwell on the matter of the Soul Dominator’s Heir for the time being.
Pei Kuang lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers, pondering other matters. After more than ten breaths, he slowly said, "It seems Nanfeng has already made Murong Jianyun suspicious. Immediately activate other plans and bring at least one important Venerable of Overlord Commerce under our control."
To this, Qian Ta agreed heavily once more...
Nanfeng, that Overlord Heavenly Decision Maker, had almost no knowledge of this war in Willow Leaf City.
Under such circumstances, it was natural for Pei Kuang to suspect that Nanfeng had already been exposed.
So they were prepared to abandon Nanfeng and instead launch a new plan, to win over an important Overlord Venerable or Earth Decision Maker.
At this point, Qian Ta spoke again, "Tower Master, Lord Pei Xie has not yet been killed. Overlord Commerce is afraid that they will..."
Before he could finish, Pei Kuang directly cut him off and continued, "Afraid they’ll use him as living proof that we controlled the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, to gain the trust of more people and forces. But he and I had already agreed on this long ago."
"If he is captured, he must find a way to commit suicide. If he can’t kill himself, he has to think of a way to summon a brothel girl to kill him."
"Immediately send a message to Xiong Tingting in Willow Leaf City, have her find a way to assist Pei Xie in committing suicide."
Pei Kuang’s voice was icy to the extreme, but Qian Ta fully understood.
In other words, Pei Xie would soon tell the people of Overlord Commerce that he wanted a brothel girl to serve him, and then Xiong Tingting, the brothel madam, would take this task of serving him and personally act to kill Pei Xie...
But could Xiong Tingting actually pull it off?
"Give Xiong Tingting a death order..."
"She must succeed before Overlord Commerce publicly uses Pei Xie as a living witness, or else we will send her daughter three of her fingers."
"If she succeeds, grant her three days to spend with her daughter..."
"If, after she completes the mission, she is executed by Overlord Commerce, I will personally set her daughter free."
With Pei Kuang’s words, Qian Ta understood that the former wanted to force Xiong Tingting to figure out a way to complete the mission on her own; if she failed, her daughter would only suffer torment. And countless precedents had already shown...
These little pieces who valued feelings and ties were extremely useful.
When they risked everything for kinship and affection, they could erupt with unimaginable energy, thus completing their missions.
However, even if this matter succeeded, Xiong Tingting was almost doomed to die.
As for her daughter’s freedom, by the time Xiong Tingting was dead, who would know whether the Tower Master actually released the girl or not?
It would depend on whether Xiong Tingting could still walk out alive after the killing.
At present, the layout was basically complete. When the spearhead of the whole world pointed toward Overlord Commerce as a terrifying Demon Forces, that would be the time for their Qianwang Holy Tower to command the world to strike and perform Demon Slash...
Of course, during this period they still had to send envoys to Overlord City to denounce them and such.
But the matter of the envoys was just a formality.
It was merely another method to amplify and confirm Overlord Commerce as Demon Forces.
"As for the envoys, we’ll decide after summoning everyone to discuss it..."
"Now there is one more very important matter. It seems I misjudged my youngest son."
After talking about the major matters, Pei Kuang finally brought up Pei Yusheng. The news that the latter possessed an Innate Saint Body and even wanted to devour Pei Yupo to further evolve that Saint Body had already spread.
And it had also reached Pei Kuang’s ears...
