d his hand and slapped Longsun Wugong's chest with a resounding smack. This sent him flying backwards like a kite with its string cut."Pffft..."Changsun Wugong finally managed to stabilize his figure...Tuoba Yang said: "It's simple, I presume both of you have capable men at your disposal. Just send someone to take him out."

Du Shengkun frowned: "If it were that simple, the eldest prince wouldn't need to team up with us two old men, would he"

Zheng Weiye also said, "Since we agreed that the three of us would join forces, what will the eldest prince do"

"Rest assured, since we've agreed to work together, I won't just sit back and take the credit."

Tuoba Yang said, "Normally, I wouldn't need to team up with anyone to deal with a peak Refining Void expert."

But this kid is really evil. I just received a message that he even wiped out the Beiqiong Sword Sect, including the second elder of the Du family, who is still missing.

To prevent any accidents, I still think we three families should join hands and take a bigger share. We must make Ye Bufan die no matter what!

Du Shengkun said, "Do you mean there are experts behind him"

"It's hard to say, better safe than sorry."

Tuo Ba Yang gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve also prepared powerful fighters here. When the time comes, the three of us will join forces, no matter what, we must kill that kid on the spot.”

Zheng Wei said, "It's just that Ye Bufan lives in the inn, with heavy guards. It seems a bit troublesome for us to make a move."

Tuoba Yang said, "I will move some of the guards and let the city guard know. I'll go over there half an hour after they hear something."

"Alright then, let's make a deal."

Zheng Wei said, "To be frank, I have already invited Ke Zhen, the first expert of my Haofeng Empire. His cultivation has reached the early stage of Dongxu Mirror."

Du Shengkun said: "My Du family will also send a Void Realm expert."

"Alright then, it's settled. I won't be short on manpower here."

Tuoba Yang said, "At the dead of night, our three families will join hands to take Ye Bufan's life."

Du Shengkun sneered coldly: “For the three of us to join forces, that kid is considered honorable even in death.”

After making their plans, Tova Yanh turned and walked back to his bedroom after seeing off Du Shengkun and Zheng Wei.

"Come out, Wraith."

The room looked empty, but after he spoke, a dark shadow slowly emerged. It was a gaunt middle-aged man.

Though he was physically present, this person seemed to blend seamlessly with his surroundings. If you closed your eyes, you wouldn't even sense his presence.

It's clearly an extremely remarkable stealth technique. "Master, is there anything you need"

The alluring words were polite, but when it spoke, it was like a machine without any emotion, cold and indifferent.

Tuoba Yang said: "You have been expelled from the Assassin's Guild for several years"

"Responding to its master, the ghost said, 'Five years have passed.'"

Originally, this man named Ghouler was one of the Seven Star Assassins of the Assassin's Guild. He was expelled from the guild for breaking the rules and later hunted down by the guild itself.

Finally, with no other options left, he sought refuge under the protection of this great prince.

Tuoba Yang asked, "After so many years, has your assassination skill deteriorated"

"No."

Though still aloof and icy in demeanor, there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

"Although I am still a Seven-Star Assassin, I am not far from becoming an Eight-Star one."

Tuo Ba Yang nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, you go kill someone for me tonight."

He had kept the Soul-Hook as a trump card, intending to use it at a crucial moment in the struggle for the throne.

But now he could not care less. At this moment, his heart was filled with hatred and he must kill Ye Bufan.

"My life was saved by my master, so I do whatever he asks."

"Alright, do as I say..."

Guhun said, "Master, it's not necessary to make things so complicated. It's just killing a little guy at the Refining Void stage. I can do it alone."

It's no wonder he reacted that way. As the former most outstanding Seven Star Assassin of the Assassins' Guild, someone capable of assassinating even a peak-level combined cultivator, he naturally wouldn't take a cultivator at the Illusory Realm stage seriously.

Besides, he has made progress recently. His confidence is almost as high as that of an eight-star assassin. Even if facing an early stage Void Realm expert, he has the ability to assassinate him.

After all, assassination is not the same as single combat or a direct confrontation. It's about stealth and the ability to kill.

"This matter must succeed, there can be no missteps. And that boy is a bit ominous, with masters guarding him, so we must make every preparation."

Tuoba Yang said, "You don't need to ask about the rest. Just do as I say. When it's done, come back and report to me immediately."

"Understood, master."

Guhun promised with a sound, then his figure slowly faded from the room until he vanished.

Tuoba Yang looked at the night sky outside the window, a sinister sneer spreading across his face. "That kid surnamed Ye, you offended this prince, you will surely die!"

At the dead of night, the entire Imperial City of Daxing plunged into darkness. There were no pedestrians on the streets, only some night watchmen patrolling with lanterns.

This station is relatively brighter, and each Imperial dwelling has a gas-powered lantern hanging in front of the door.

Although today's ranked battles have ended, many empires haven't left immediately, waiting to watch the opening of the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm tomorrow.

The Heavenly Net Secret Realm only opens once every ten years. Such a grand event is worth seeing, even if no disciples from my own empire are able to enter.

Under the night sky, two black men stood side by side, hands behind their backs, gazing down at the station below with an air of arrogance.

On the left stood a tall and slender old man, Du Rushan, the eldest of the Du family. A strong cultivator at the beginning stage of the Dongxu realm, he represented the Du family on this occasion.

He reached out and pulled out two ghost masks, keeping one for himself and giving the other to the middle-aged man across from him. It was clear that the two were very familiar with each other.

"Grand Elder, do you need this"

That middle-aged man was precisely Ko Zhen, the First Strongest of the Hao Feng Empire, who was also at the early stage of the Void-Dwelling Realm.

He was already on good terms with the Zheng family, and this time Zheng Wei offered him huge benefits, so he came all the way to the capital city.

"After all, this is the imperial capital of a large empire. We should be careful and not reveal our identities."

After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he put the ghost face mask on his own face.

Ke Zhen didn't say anything more, and put on his mask as well.

At this time, the sound of a night watchman's drums came from the street, and it was already midnight.

Du Rushan frowned: “The agreed time has arrived, why hasn't anyone from the crown prince come yet”

"It's nothing, isn't it just dealing with a little kid in the Refining Void realm In my opinion, we two should join forces. It's a waste of our talents."

"There's no need to make such a big fuss. I could single-handedly wipe out this station."

As the first master of the Hao Feng Empire, he naturally had his own arrogance.

“Elder, there's no need to wait any longer. Let's get started.”

"Alright then."

Du Ruishan nodded, also feeling that two Void Realm experts were enough.

They fell together from mid-air, landing directly in the small courtyard where Ye Bufan, a resident of the Tianfeng Empire, lived.alace and powerful cultivators who had crossed the Tribulation, their fates now rested not in their own hands but in the control of that young man.The golden lion and the lioness were both filled with...
