Chapter 281 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Inside the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, Murong Yuanyang was discussing a plan to ambush and kill Ling Yun with Bai Ke.

"Ling Feng's hiding place has been determined; it is his hometown, Mo Yun Kingdom."

"Has the exact location been determined?"

"Of course, but strangely enough, after fleeing to dozens of countries, he eventually returned to his former home."

Bai Ke narrowed his eyes, as if he had sensed a conspiracy, and said in a low voice:

"Uncle Murong, I think his attitude is suspicious."

"That's what I thought too, but... with Elder Tian Xin personally backing him up, I doubt a mere Golden Core cultivator like him can cause any trouble," Murong Yuanyang said disdainfully.

A mere Golden Core cultivator? Have you forgotten Fang Shiqing, the Nascent Soul cultivator who looked down on him? His corpse has been cold for half a month already.

Would the protagonist of Tianming be killed so easily? Perhaps they have already laid a vicious trap in the former residence of Moyun Kingdom, waiting for you to walk into their trap!

Bai Ke pressed his temples, feeling a bit troubled. The Heavenly Strategy Saint Son's coronation ceremony was to be held in five days, and he needed to come up with a foolproof way to deal with Ling Feng before the ceremony began.

"Is your junior disciple worried about not having enough manpower?" Murong Yuanyang asked, seeing Bai Ke's troubled expression.

"Manpower!" Bai Ke had a flash of inspiration and suddenly came up with a brilliant plan that would kill two birds with one stone.

He followed Murong Yuanyang's lead and said:

“That’s right, Junior Nephew, I do have this concern. I hope to recruit a few more people from the sect to participate in the extermination of Ling Feng.”

"A recruitment drive by the sect? Who do you want to go with you?"

"Second Elder Xing Jian and his son Lin Xiu."

Murong Yuanyang frowned sharply and asked in a deep voice:

"Why call on those two of them? They already have a grudge against you because of the Holy Son Election. Aren't you afraid they might sabotage you while they're on a mission?"

"I'll have my father follow me secretly. The people who should be worried aren't me, but them!"

"you want……"

"That's right, get rid of these two annoying dogs and teach their master a lesson."

Even if Murong Yuanyang was stupid, he understood Bai Ke's intentions at this moment. This was not what he really wanted... What a ruthless move!

“I support you. I will personally handle their expedition matters later. You should set off now and use the teleportation array to go to Moyun Kingdom to meet with Elder Tian Xin first.”

"Remember, always be clean when you do things, so as not to give others cause for gossip and create unnecessary trouble." Murong Yuanyang's hoarse voice carried a hint of bloodlust.

"I will follow Uncle Murong's teachings!" Bai Ke understood immediately, a strange smile appearing on his lips. In a flash, he transformed into a rainbow of light and left the Hall of Law Enforcement.

Murong Yuanyang sat alone in the main hall, stroking his beard and muttering to himself:

"What a ruthless young man! Decisive and meticulous in his actions, I'm really looking forward to seeing how you perform..."

At this moment, in the Green Bamboo Garden on Lingyue Peak, Lin Xiu was kneeling tremblingly in his room, with Xing Jian standing in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"Waste, what a waste!"

"So what if I lose all my treasures in this Holy Son Selection?"

"I can collect more treasures, but what I hate most is your pathetic attitude!"

Xing Jian reprimanded Lin Xiu sternly, his voice filled with disappointment and frustration. The image of Lin Xiu collapsing to the ground in terror and babbling incoherently in the Heavenly Palace still resonated in Xing Jian's mind... Shame, utter shame!

"Father...Father, I know I was wrong," Lin Xiu said, kneeling on the ground in shame.

"Sigh, how much effort have I put into you all these years? Look at yourself, so useless. If your mother were still alive, she would be driven to her death by you!" Xing Jian said sternly.

Under Xing Jian's scolding and cursing, Lin Xiu dared not utter another word, and could only vent his anger on Bai Ke.

It's all because of him, that damned Bai Ke! If it weren't for him, the position of Holy Son should have been mine! If it weren't for him, Father wouldn't be so heartbroken and angry! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this!

Xing Jian scolded Lin Xiu for a long time, but eventually softened and let him stand up.

"Sigh!" Xing Jian felt a pang of heartache looking at Lin Xiu's resentful eyes. Xing Jian understood what Lin Xiu was resentful about; he was too deeply involved with Bai Ke.

"My lord! A message from the Enforcement Hall!" came the servant's voice from outside the door.

"Come in and let's talk." Xing Jian frowned and gestured for the guard to enter the room. He wondered what business the Enforcement Hall had with him, since they had no dealings with him.

"Master! Young Master!" The servant entered the room, knelt on one knee, greeted Xing Jian and Lin Xiu, and then reported:

"The Enforcement Hall has issued a summons to all elders of the sect who are on standby to participate in the operation to suppress the traitor Ling Feng. It also stated that the main participants in this operation are Elder Tian Xin and the Holy Son Bai Ke."

"The Enforcement Hall emphasized that in order to ensure the success of this operation, an elder is needed as a backup plan."

"If you are interested, you can send a message to Elder Murong to confirm your acceptance of the summons, and set off immediately to the Moyun Kingdom via the teleportation array."

After the attendant finished speaking, Xing Jian waved for him to leave. After the attendant left, Xing Jian used his spiritual power to set up a soundproof array in the room.

"Father, what are you doing..." Lin Xiu asked softly, not understanding Xing Jian's actions.

"Fool, don't you understand? Our chance has come!" Xing Jian said solemnly.

"Are you referring to the conscription order that just came from the Enforcement Hall? What does that have to do with us?"

"Think about it carefully. If Bai Ke dies, who is the most likely person to become the Holy Son of Tian Ce?"

"Me? But how could Bai Ke just die for no reason?"

Xing Jian did not rush to answer, but instead revealed a sinister expression, took out the communication stone used by elders, and designated Murong Yuanyang as the sender.

"I am Xing Jian, and I am willing to participate in the plan to encircle and annihilate Ling Feng as a backup plan."

"Father, what are you doing?"

"Shut up and wait quietly."

Lin Xiu was still completely confused and had no idea what Xing Jian was doing.

A moment later, the communication stone in Xing Jian's hand started buzzing. Xing Jian played the message aloud: "Received. Second Elder, please lead your team to set off immediately to meet Elder Tian Xin in Mo Yun Kingdom."

“You will become the Holy Son of Heavenly Strategy, this is our chance!” Xing Jian said to Lin Xiu in a deep voice.

"Father, you mean... to secretly kill Bai Ke during this operation!?" Lin Xiu finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but ask again, "Father, won't this be discovered by the sect...?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Jian squinted at Tian Du Peak and slowly said, "I have my own plans."
