Free Web NovelChapter 1341: Chapter 865: The Tenth Protector
In this Xiang Ma Town, with Second Demon Uncle as a backer, Yang Xiao fears no one.
"When do you plan to make your move?" Tong Han asked seriously.
At this moment, Yang Xiao was already packing up his things, showing some impatience, "The longer the night, the more the dreams. I’ll act tonight. Remember to help me contact Daoist Qingfeng and inform him."
"I’ll go with you, and bring along a few experts, that way it will be more secure," Tong Han suggested.
"No need. You stay and guard the house. I don’t trust any of these people, except you." Yang Xiao turned around and said seriously, "Rest assured, I’ll bring Sui and Song Ziming, three Ghost-level Apostles, that’s enough."
Yang Xiao wasn’t worried about Song Ziming not putting in his full effort; after all, if he let Bone Burning Taoist and his group escape, he’d face endless pursuit in the future. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Yang Xiao would have Song Ziming take the lead, ideally having him die at the hands of Bone Burning Taoist.
This group from the Withered Bone Pavilion has some tricks. The faction has few members, but all are experts. There are almost no Grudge Level Apostles; Fierce Level Apostles make up the majority, forming a highly elite and tricky group to deal with. freёwebnoѵel.com
Moreover, based on past decrypted records from the Patrol Defense Office, this group is considered rare die-hard individuals, almost impossible to capture alive. Once encountered, it’s a fight to the death.
Of course, Yang Xiao didn’t care about this. Since he decided to take action, he must capture this group completely, otherwise, if news leaks, the consequences would be endless.
Now, Yang Xiao already has quite a few enemies. He didn’t want to provoke a force like the Withered Bone Pavilion. He just wanted to kill the Master of Bone Pavilion and seize their Magic Artifact, nothing more malicious than that.
"Such treasures in outsiders’ hands will harm all beings. Only with me, Yang Xiao, safeguarding it, will all beings be blessed." As a Second-level Deputy Director of the Patrol Defense Office, Yang Xiao always held himself to strict standards.
Yang Xiao is a man of action. Upon confirming contact with Daoist Qingfeng, Yang Xiao took Sui Chengguo and Song Ziming, and the three quietly left Xiang Ma Town under the cover of night.
On the way, Yang Xiao specifically let Song Ziming witness his numerous methods, such as the Mirror World’s realm in the Soul-Capturing Mirror and its teleportation ability, which greatly opened his eyes.
This was a display, also a warning. Yang Xiao needed to warn Song Ziming not to have any crooked thoughts. Bone Burning Taoist is not easy to deal with, and neither is he.
If you offend the Bone Burning Taoist, you might still run, but if you offend him, Yang Xiao...hehe, Yang Xiao couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t do something excessive.
"Marquis, my admiration for you is like the turbulent river, continuous, like the flooding Yellow River, once it starts, it can’t be stopped. You will be the great benefactor of my Song Family if you take action against Bone Burning Taoist!"
"In the future...I will erect a monument and write chronicles for you, serving you with all my loyalty!"
Song Ziming was a master at flattery, only these words sounded familiar to Yang Xiao, it seemed he had used them years ago.
"Little Song, you are a smart person; this time I’m giving you an opportunity to shine, don’t disappoint me." Yang Xiao warned.
"Understood! Marquis, just watch!" Song Ziming like someone invigorated with energy, eager to excel before Yang Xiao.
When they arrived at the outskirts of Qinghe Town, it was close to midnight. Yang Xiao didn’t act rashly but connected with the subordinates stationed nearby, and carefully scouted the situation in the town.
The subordinates reported that the other party was most likely hiding in the courtyards on the south side of the town, because the defense there suddenly became very strict, which was unlike before.
"It’s still early, during this time people’s vigilance is highest. Act after 3 AM when people are most tired," Yang Xiao instructed.
"Master, you are wise!" Song Ziming bowed, thumbs up with a flattering smile.
Sui Chengguo standing next to him shot a sidelong glance; to him, such a person was contemptible, but he refrained from bothering given the other would likely meet his end soon.
Have the subordinates continue closely watching Qinghe Town’s situation, reporting to him every 10 minutes.
"Wouldn’t reporting every 10 minutes be too frequent, Marquis? You should rest while we keep watch," the leader, a middle-aged man with Upper Level Severe grade expertise, suggested. In Xiang Ma Town, he had a good reputation and was recruited by Tong Han.
"Are you teaching me how to handle things?" Yang Xiao sneered, casting a sideways glance with his masked face.
"Dare not, dare not!" The middle-aged man regretted overstepping, lowered his head and retreated swiftly.
Yang Xiao was full of energy, so he let Sui and Song Ziming rest first.
But insisted the three not separate, staying in the same room. He couldn’t trust Song Ziming if he left his sight.
The secret of the human skin tattoo was significant, and by sunrise, he hoped only he, Sui, and Tong Han near Xiang Ma Town would know this secret.
Sui Chengguo understood Yang Xiao’s good intentions, resting on a sofa without taking off clothes, while Song Ziming sat in a chair deep in thought, likely feeling uncertain about facing Bone Burning Taoist.
The seconds ticked away, Yang Xiao sat cross-legged on the only bed meditating, every 10 minutes, someone would come report back.
Yang Xiao didn’t open his eyes, only nodding slightly to indicate he heard.
After a while, Yang Xiao slowly opened his eyes, suddenly realizing that it had been some time since someone came to report in.
Getting off the bed, he stepped outside, called for the guard at the door. Within half a minute, the leader middle-aged man rushed in, first apologizing to Yang Xiao, then explaining they encountered a communication issue.
