The two men then stopped there while looking around, waiting for the fearless person to come.
Ciz. Ciz. Ciz.
After some time had passed, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out in one corner of the place.
Huang Wei and the old man immediately looked towards that corner, only to see a man wearing a straw hat with a closed face while carrying a sword on his waist, coming from there.
The man walked with light steps towards them.
Only after reaching a distance of more than one meter in front of them did he stop.
When the man was near them, the old man who accompanied Huang Wei looked at him while guarding Huang Wei with his spiritual energy.
After a while of staring at him, the old man relaxed immediately because he found that his cultivation was only in the third layer of Transcendent, which was one level lower than him.
Even though he became more relaxed, he remained alert and continued to guard Huang Wei with his spiritual energy.
"Are you guys who want to kill someone?" The man then asked in an indifferent tone.
"Yes. But the person we want to kill is in the center of a great sect city, can you kill him?" Huang Wei replied in an indifferent tone too.
Even if the man in front of him was a Transcendent, he would not be polite to him because he was the crown prince of the Great Empire.
The man did not seem to mind Huang Wei speaking tone.
He indifferently answered. "Yes. As long as you pay the appropriate price."
"Mn, there is no problem with the price." Huang Wei wanted to say that, but before he could speak, the man suddenly cut him off.
"But,,,,...." The man only said one word before stopping while he stared coldly at the two, making both of them feel bad.
"But someone has paid me to kill you..." He continued with a cruel smile.
The man's words made Huang Wei and the old man wide-eyed.
But before they could understand, the man had already drawn his sword and slashed it towards the old man who was protecting Huang Wei.
Even though the old man was shocked, he still had time to release his spiritual energy to make energy defense.
However, just as the man slash his sword, his aura which was originally only in the third layer of Transcendent, suddenly surged.
In an instant it had become the fourth layer of Transcendent.
But it does not stop there! It continued to surge until it surpassed the fourth layer of Transcendent.
When that happened, the old man's aura was immediately suppressed, making the newly formed energy defense collapse at that moment.
Whooss
While his energy defense collapsed, the sword continued to aim at him with a speed that even he could not see.
"You!" The old man could only say one word before the sword reached his neck and decapitated it.
Buk.
The old man's body immediately fell followed by his head a few moments later, making Huang Wei who was next to him wide-eyed.
"You? What are you doing?" Huang Wei spoke with disbelief when he saw the man.
But the man did not respond.
Taking a corpse on the ground, he looked towards a certain corner in the forest.
"I finished what you paid for." He said nonchalantly before stepping into the air while carrying a dead body.
"What are you talking about?" Huang Wei wanted to ask but the man had disappeared from there.
However, after a while, Huang Wei immediately realized that there was a conspiracy behind all this.
He then followed the man's gaze before.
"Who is it? Come out!" He shouted in an angry tone.
He is the crown prince of the Great Empire! But today he actually fell under someone's scheme. How could Huang Wei not be angry.
Ciz. Ciz. Ciz.
The sound of footsteps by two people then came from the corner of the forest.
Not long after, two human silhouettes appeared from there under the gaze of Huang Wei's eyes.
However, when Huang Wei saw the two silhouettes, his eyes immediately widened as if what he saw were not two humans, but a ghost.
The two naturally were Qin Tian and Lan Yueli who had arrived earlier and hid in a corner there to watch everything.
"How much did you pay for the killer?" Qin Tian asked her.
This time Qin Tian was much calmer because he was already quite surprised by what she had planned when they hid before.
"That's not much as long as Prince Qin can help this Yueli find opportunities in the primordial world later." She answered with a graceful smile that could make all men fall to their knees under her smile.
But to Qin Tian, her smile was really not like a smile.
If it was someone else who knew something behind her smile, they would likely pass out right then and there.
Even Qin Tian could not help but shiver.
"That is you?" Huang Wei shouted in a hoarse voice and red eyes when he saw the two of them.
Even if he wasn't too smart, how could he not realize that these two people were the masterminds behind this evil scheme.
One is the woman he's crazy about while the other is the enemy he just made.
Mental blow like that! Even a god can go crazy, not to mention Huang Wei.
Right now he is almost crazy because of anger.
Qin Tian did not care for him while Lan Yueli did not respond.
However, when they were only halfway from Huang Wei, Lan Yueli suddenly turned her hand to Qin Tian's and held it.
Lan Yueli's sudden actions shocked Qin Tian.
He looked at her strangely as he felt the soft hands holding his hands.
Qin Tian wanted to ask what she was doing, but before he could ask, he immediately understood when he heard Huang Wei's angry roar.
"You bitch." Huang Wei shouted with anger, making the trees around them collapse because of his raging aura.
Qin Tian shivered once again as he understood what Lan Yueli was up to.
She didn't just want Huang Wei to die. She also wants to see him die tragically.
"Prince Qin, with your strength, you should be able to suppress it right?" She asked with a warm smile.
"To kill him, leave it to this Yueli!" She added.
"Mn." Qin Tian only nodded in response.
But when Huang Wei heard her words, his eyes became increasingly red while he shouted once more.
"Ha ha ha. You want to kill me. You think you can do it..." He roared with laughter.
However, his eyes quickly widened as he felt a mighty aura suddenly suppress him, making him unable to move his body.
When he saw the origin of the aura that made him unable to move, he could not help but be surprised. "You!"
Even Lan Yueli was shocked when she felt Qin Tian's aura.
Even though she had guessed that Qin Tian was extraordinary, she had never imagined that his cultivation had reached the middle stage of Semi-Transcendence.
And the pressure coming from his aura only made her even more shocked.
But with her extraordinary mentality, she quickly calmed down while in her heart she was very happy because the choice she made really did not disappoint.
Releasing Qin Tian's hand, she then walked towards Huang Wei with graceful steps.
Looking at his hand, which Lan Yueli had just held, Qin Tian's eyes flickered as he smelled the scent of perfume left in his hand.
Walking towards Huang Wei, Lan Yueli's expression remained the same as if she only wanted to greet her friend.
This made Huang Wei even more angry.
"Why?" He then asked in a hoarse voice.
His eyes were filled with despair.
"Why?" Lan Yueli smiled in response.
"No reason." She answered
"Ohh," she looked thoughtfully before speaking again. "That might be as they say: a good bird will choose a better tree."
Huang Wei almost fainted when he heard that.
"Well Huang Wei, even though you are stupid and arrogant, you are still a good friend. For my sake, please die..."
While saying that, a sword suddenly appeared in her hand and she immediately slashed the sword towards Huang Wei's neck.
