Chapter 1300: Chapter 592: Betting Life Chapter 1300: Chapter 592: Betting Life “Gentlemen, don’t rush to rejoice yet.”

Seeing the delighted expressions on everyone’s faces, Tang Luo added, “Approaching Hanging Sky City is just the beginning, but whether the plan will succeed hinges on our ability to destroy the four core hubs within a quarter of an hour. If any one of them remains, this plan of Hanging Sky City’s downfall is nothing but an Illusion Dream. Have I made myself clear enough?”

There has never been a plan that is one hundred percent successful in the world; underestimating the strength of Hanging Sky City simply because one has obtained the blueprints and seen the markings is undoubtedly foolish.

Tang Luo certainly didn’t want the plan he had racked his brains to develop to fail due to a bit of arrogance, which would indeed be an enormous joke.

After criticizing a celestial-level assassin of the Blood Tower, Tang Luo turned to the powerhouses who had obtained the blueprints and said, “Gentlemen, you should have already reviewed the strength distribution of the four hubs. Now, feel free to divide the battle zones among yourselves!”

“Hmm?” Feng You, catching the deeper meaning in Tang Luo’s words, asked with a grave tone, “Mr. Tang Luo, are you not participating in this?”

Originally, a big part of the confidence in the plan of Hanging Sky City’s fall came from the participation of the Longxi Alliance, but now, not only was there no sign of any strong member from the Longxi Alliance, even Tang Luo, the initiator of the plan, seemed to be staying out of this matter.

This gave Bone Taoist a very bad feeling, even suspecting that this plan of Hanging Sky City’s fall was a trap set by Cao Jinyu and Tang Luo, aimed at wiping out the Ancient Blood Tower at one stroke.

“Of course, I will be involved in this plan, but my role will differ from yours.”

Tang Luo pointed at the very heart of Hanging Sky City and said indifferently, “To bring down Hanging Sky City, the key is to destroy the old lair of the Demon King beneath the Dutian Sky Mirror at Heaven’s Pivot. If the core remains intact, even if we shut down the four hubs and destroy the city’s mechanisms today, Cao Jinyu could rebuild it within a few years. I certainly don’t want to tread through such a dead end again.”

Feng You’s expression eased slightly, but Gu Han could not be easily convinced like the Bone Taoist, as the Peeper of Prophecy was buzzing crazily in alarm.

Since his achievement in Ghost Buddha Path, this was an unprecedented situation, indicating that this operation was extremely dangerous. If he followed his usual style of conduct, he should report to Cao Anbang, and take the members of the Blood Tower far away from here. The only reason he still stayed was out of respect for their past cooperation.

But some things, Gu Han felt, could no longer be glossed over; he still had to ask clearly, “Mr. Tang Luo, hold on. Just now, you mentioned that we would split into four groups to attack the hubs and must shut them down within a quarter-hour. But the critical issue is, the hubs are constructed of special materials. After we succeed or fail, how are we supposed to communicate with the other groups?”

“There’s no way to communicate.”

Even behind the mask, everyone from the Blood Tower could see that Tang Luo seemed to be smiling, as if Gu Han’s question was very unnecessary, “So, gentlemen, do you understand why in this operation, only you are involved?”

“The Blood Tower is full of desperadoes who risk their lives at the edge of a knife; naturally, they wouldn’t want to entrust their lives to foolish allies.”

Feng You replied, her face stern, “But the annotated defenses of the hubs just include realm strength. We don’t even know their names or who they are. If we encounter a few tough nuts, wouldn’t we not even have the chance to regret? Is this really a plan, or are we gambling with our lives!?”

Tang Luo seemed to hear something extremely funny and curiously asked, “Are assassins afraid of gambling with their lives?”

The thirty-three celestial-level assassins blushed, and Feng You wanted to retort directly, but was stopped by a raised hand from Cao Anbang, “Assassins naturally aren’t afraid of gambling with their lives, Mr. Tang Luo’s plan is good, and the stakes are high. It is just that living by risking our heads is a necessary desperation, but how to march forward untroubled if this gamble offers no reward?”

“Who says there’s no reward?”

Tang Luo stretched out a finger and waved it, then pointed towards the distant Sky City and said, “The reward for this trip is the lost dignity of Ancient Blood Tower, right there!”

Assassins shouldn’t have names, and even less should they have organizations.

There were always some dissidents who were not content with their masterpieces being casually mentioned by the term “mysterious person.” Thus, the assassin organization was born.

Why did the Blood Tower divide into Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow? Why did they need a mutually endorsed list? It was merely because these dissidents wanted to leave their names behind.

If not for this, those without real names could simply suppress their cultivation levels, seek refuge in any noble family, and enjoy endless honor and riches in the eyes of others.

Yet they still remained in the desolate Ancient Blood Tower, still enduring the relentless pursuit of the Dutian Heavenly King.

These top assassins, once praised by all, had become like maggots in a sewer, unable to see the light of day, yet they still persevered. Was it because they were born to a lowly life?

They were merely waiting, waiting for an opportunity to rise again; they simply believed that these despicable people, who staked their lives on their belts, had no home to return to, and these companions, who shared life and death, were their family!

An assassin’s life was never the quiet idyll of picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence; it was a passion teetering on the brink of life and death.

Following the direction pointed by a hooked finger, the people of the Blood Tower squinted into the distance. There was no city hanging in the sky, only the light they had long forgotten!

…

Atop Hanging Sky City

The Great Commander led three divisions on a campaign, but this did not affect the normal operations of the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol.

This place was still the sacred land of Zhongzhou’s Wind Media, the ultimate convergence point for countless pieces of information, Hanging Sky City.

The steward of the Heavenly Patrol, Cao Anbang, had served diligently for decades, earning great favor from Cao Jinyu and the heavy responsibility of guarding the home.

Thus, this steward was now the highest-ranking person in Hanging Sky City.

Yet this supervisor, superior to ten thousand people, was currently currying favor with a genteel swordsman, his bowing and scrunching so abject he nearly knelt.

“Envoy Xu, it wasn’t my intention to make things difficult. The Chaochang secret scrolls are the highest secret of the Heavenly Patrol, accessible only by those directly responsible in the Wind Department, and the Great Commander.” Envoy Xu should know the rules of the Heavenly Patrol, though I oversee the Wind Media and spies, I cannot overstep these rules.

Genteel Xu Xiao, listening to Cao Anbang’s words, simply smiled and patted his shoulder, just as the other thought he had managed to bluff his way through, a long sword as cold and bright as frost and snow was already placed on his neck.

“Heavenly Patrol Envoy…”

“This sword is named Purple Lightning Clear Frost, forged with the true essence of Jade Void celestial thunder and a piece of Endless Void divine iron. On the day of its forging, thunder light shone over Ox Fighter ruins, dragons soared and phoenixes rose, fog covered Yingzhou, a remarkable scene. What does the Great Commander think of it?”

“This… This sword is certainly magnificent, but my cultivation is too weak to withstand the might of a divine sword. Please, Heavenly Patrol Envoy, take back your sword, we can discuss this amicably.”

“So, does the Great Commander agree to let me view the Chaochang secret scrolls now?”

“Agree.. agreeing is fine.. Please quickly take back the divine sword. I.. I can’t hold on any longer.”
