The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World
Chapter 172 - 172 - Reaching the Plum Plossom Sect

All Aiden could cheer as people were clapping their hands and shouting.

'Did I really inspire them that much?' thought Aiden, unsure whether is speech was even good.

He had just made it on the spot without thinking about it at all, so he was surprised to see everyone so pumped to go fight against the Plum Blossom Sect.

Then, everyone who was still on the ground started to fly in the air since they wanted to join their Sect Leader.

Wu Lan was the first one to leave the ground as she arrived right beside him in the air, whispering something in his ear.

"That was so hot."

Aiden who had just heard got confused for a moment as she had no idea what she was even referring to.

However, he understood quickly thinking about that personality of hers.

He wasn't sure why she had found that hot, but he didn't mind it as Wu Lan was extremely vocal physically touching him.

Then, the rest of the people started to appear by his sides, and it was finally time for everyone to head for the Plum Blossom Sect and destroy them.

Aiden wanted to annihilate them.

He wanted to make sure that he would be obtaining the best possible rewards, because not only did he want to get good rewards from the trial, but he would also be getting better rewards in the Inter-Family tournament.

Then, Aiden didn't waste time as he followed everyone who was currently going toward the Plum Blossom Sect, Wu Lan was obviously in the front directing everyone behind her.

Aiden didn't know why, but he felt as if this trial would be easy now that he had passed a deal with the system.

There was also something else… he felt as if he had become an ally to the system. It might be a weird thing to say, but that's what he had felt like.

***

A few hours later, as they had been flying in the air for quite some time, Wu Lan's flying speed had slowed down, giving a chance to the others to catch up to her.

Aiden, wondering what was happening, tried to look to his left and to his right, and that's when he spotted it.

They had finally arrived at the Plum Blossom Sect, well from the looks of it.

All the cultivators who were following Wu Lan made sure to make as little noise as possible, as it seemed that everyone in that sect was sleeping, not expecting an attack at night.

Everything was completely dark, there were no lights on. This was simply perfect for Aiden and the rest.

It really seemed that this trial would be an actual breeze.

Then, they all stopped flying, landing one kilometer away from the sect to discuss how they would be attacking the sect.

Obviously, the one who was doing the strategy was Wu Lan and not Aiden, as he wasn't the strategist.

Aiden preferred it this way, as he could simply fight without worrying about anything else. It was simply for the best if he was being honest.

"Did everyone understand the plan?" asked Wu Lan looking at the four generals who were around here.

It was obvious that the strategy meeting didn't include all of them.

They would be the ones instructing the rest of them on the strategy since having a giant strategy meeting wouldn't be efficient, especially when they wanted to attack the sect as soon as possible while it was still dark outside.

"Yes, everything is clear," responded Li Yang and the rest of them, in a low tone of voice, as he didn't want to alert those close to him.

Then, they all separated and went toward their respective team of cultivators, telling them exactly what they had just been told.

It seemed like it was time for them to attack the sect as everyone started flying in the air in the direction of the sect.

They were all going as fast as they could and from the looks of it... discretion hadn't been the plan chosen by Wu Lan.

Speed and surprise had been the choices made, apparently.

Nonetheless, the people flying made sure to be careful about what they were doing. They didn't want to make too much noise, alerting the enemy wasn't the goal after all.

However, they had done it, Aiden and the rest of them had entered the sect, and it seemed that no one had spotted them yet.

Aiden actually found it weird that no one had been watching out for intruders, especially in times of war.

Still, he didn't ask himself too many questions and simply followed the plan given by Wu Lan. He was now going alone toward the house of their Sect Leader.

Aiden's role was simple, he needed to kill their Sect Leader, no he wanted to kill their Sect Leader.

Even if he didn't usually participate in those wars, Wu Lan had decided that tonight they would put an end to all those wars, and that's why she decided to completely kill all the Plum Blossom Sect once and for all.

***

Melinda, who was still looking at her crystal ball, was surprised to see what was happening.

Aiden had been able to fly without any constraint.

This meant one thing and one thing only, Aiden had been able to learn how to use Qi.

This time she didn't know how to react, this was simply perfect.

She had just recruited someone with such great talent that she couldn't believe it at all.

'I just hope that he won't turn against me in the future,' thought Melinda, becoming a little of the potential that Aiden held, and the thing was that she didn't even know half of it.

She didn't know that in the future he would be able to use all the class skills, and she didn't know that he had just passed a deal with the system. She, also, didn't know about his past—being an assassin.

There were so many things that she ignored, and Aiden was still that dangerous from her point of view.

If one thought about it for long enough, it seemed normal for the system to take protective measures against such a threat.
