Chapter 237: Chapter 49 Start Early

On the boat, Qiao Baixuan slowly said, "The most prominent assassin organization in the worldly society nowadays is the Azure Dragon Association. However, if we talk about the longevity of inheritance and the strength, it still belongs to the Doomed Hall."

"Doomed Hall is one of the Six Demon Sects, engaging in the ruthless business of killing. It has existed for over a thousand years, and its experts emerge one after another. In front of Doomed Hall, the Azure Dragon Association could only be considered a small shrimp."

"In that case, Doomed Hall appearing here must be for the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance just like the Demon Young Master," Qing Yu said.

"How does Brother Zhao know they are not here for you? Doomed Hall is the largest assassin organization, yet recently, the assassin organization that has been widely talked about in the worldly society is not Doomed Hall, but the Azure Dragon Association," Qiao Baixuan said with a laugh as he stared into Qing Yu’s eyes, his expression inscrutable as if he saw through everything.

"Brother Qiao is joking," waved Qing Yu, "as said earlier today, Zhao Yun is just a Nameless Soldier, newly introduced to the worldly society, without even a bit of reputation. How could he possibly attract the attention of Doomed Hall? Moreover, Brother Qiao also mentioned earlier that this anomaly in Primordial Energy is the work of people from the Demon Path; therefore, Doomed Hall must be the executor."

"Haha, right, I was only joking," laughed Qiao Baixuan.

Then, without further probing Qing Yu, Qiao Baixuan pointed to the spot where the last attacker’s body fell into the water, and said, "Does Brother Zhao know who the last person you killed was?"

"I would like to know more."

"That person was the most famous assassin among the younger generation of Doomed Hall—Jue Jian, who likely represented Doomed Hall from the Six Demon Sects this time. His strength is not inferior to Xiao Chengming. Brother Zhao, in killing him, has indeed removed a strong rival for the Righteous."

"Ha, not inferior to Xiao Chengming, is he that strong?" Qing Yu secretly shook his head.

Xiao Chengming was humorously referred to as "Eleventh," and although it was a jest, it wasn’t without affirmation of his capabilities. After all, not just anyone deserved to be called "Eleventh."

However, after Xiao Chengming was attacked by Li Qiuran, "Eleventh" truly became a laughing name.

And for Qing Yu, removing a strong rival for the Righteous had nothing to do with him. The real opponents include those from the so-called Righteous Path as well.

"Since the anomaly in Primordial Energy is the work of the Demon Path, what could be their purpose? Could it be related to the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance?" Qing Yu observed Qiao Baixuan’s face closely, "Don’t tell me... they have some way to initiate the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance early..."

Indeed, Qiao Baixuan’s expression changed momentarily. Although it was brief, Qing Yu still caught the fleeting change.

Qing Yu was right, the Demon Young Master and his group indeed intended to initiate the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance early.

The Primordial Energy here had already condensed into a mist-like power and was still increasing continuously. Such a phenomenon could hardly be hidden from the people in Cuige Town nearby.

By tomorrow, even if others were slow to notice, they would realize the anomaly here.

The people from the Demon Path are not fools, creating such a spectacle; naturally, they planned to act before others could discover it. Thinking about it, likely the only answer was that they intended to initiate the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance early.

And what Qiao Baixuan said earlier, now seemed like pretexts. He surely had seen through the intentions of the Demon Path, and his earlier ramblings with Qing Yu were just to divert his attention.

"Brother Zhao truly has perceptive eyes!" Qiao Baixuan said, looking deeply at Qing Yu.

"Haha, nothing compared to Brother Qiao’s Double Pupil Phenomenon."

"True, the anomaly in Primordial Energy is indeed caused by the Demon Path to initiate the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance early," as the matter was now clear, Qiao Baixuan was no longer secretive, "Elder Suantian, although a master of the Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill, couldn’t precisely predict the exact time his inheritance would emerge. After all, a hundred years is a long time filled with changes; who could be absolutely certain?

The reason why everyone knows the inheritance will emerge in ten days is actually quite simple; after ten days, the energy source within the Array Formation laid by Elder Suantian will reach a certain level, and it will naturally release all its energy, prompting the emergence of the inheritance.

However, the Demon Path came prepared this time with an Array Dao master guiding the Demon Young Master and others, allowing the Great Formation inside the inheritance’s remains to prematurely discharge its energy, leading to the inheritance emerging ahead of schedule."

"So, the inheritance will emerge tomorrow?" Qing Yu asked.

Based on the speed of the leakage of Primordial Energy, by noon tomorrow, every Martial Artist within Cuige Town in the Innate Realm would feel the change in the content of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Hence, the Demon Young Master and his companions would surely enter before then.

Qiao Baixuan made a calculation and said, "To be precise, it should be around 5:00 AM tomorrow morning."

5:00 AM, not much time left, especially now that it was already deep into the night, past midnight. The Heavenly Calculation Inheritance was about to begin.

However...

Qing Yu looked suspiciously at Qiao Baixuan, "Why is Brother Qiao so forthcoming now, telling me the time the inheritance begins?"

Previously, he was still deflecting attention with irrelevancies, and now it was too obvious.

"Brother Zhao, able to kill Jue Jian in a single sword strike, has commendable strength. I, Qiao, do not possess the capability to defeat you, and moreover, your mind is sharp," Qiao Baixuan pointed at his head, "with just a few words, you guessed that the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance would be initiated early. Unable to defeat, nor deceive you, naturally, the only choice left is to cooperate."

"Moreover, the Demon Path only lost a Jue Jian; the Demon Young Master will have at least five skilled helpers. Such strength is not something I, Qiao, can compare to. Finding an ally who is both intelligent and strong is my best choice."

"If that’s the case, let’s agree on this."

"Let’s agree on this."

The two struck hands, formally becoming allies.

Before obtaining the inheritance, they would be allies helping each other; after obtaining it, well, it was up to each individual’s skill.

After forming their alliance, they did not leave but stayed on the boat, meditating and resting, quietly waiting for the time the inheritance would begin.

Time ticked by, and gradually the sky began to lighten; dawn was approaching, 5:00 AM was almost upon them.

"It’s coming," Qiao Baixuan suddenly said.

Not that the inheritance was coming, but those who sought the inheritance were coming.

With the inheritance about to begin, the people from the Demon Path naturally wouldn’t be late.

The calm surface of the lake began to ripple; Qing Yu couldn’t hear the sound of oars, but through the ripples, he knew a boat was approaching.

On the mist-enshrouded lake surface, slowly two boats of the same model Qing Yu was in approached; one carried four men and the other two men.

The boat carrying two people had one particularly conspicuous person, wrapped in a black cloak—it was the Demon Young Master.

As for the other boat, with four people crammed onto it, and one of them a big man, causing the overloaded小 boat to sway dangerously, looking like it could capsize any moment.
