15: Assassination of the Son of Destiny

“It’s time to check my detailed stats,” Liu Feng thought to himself.

Then, he proceeded to examine them.

...

Upon seeing the last part, Liu Feng, who had been promoted from an early-stage Villain to a Luck Villain, sneered.

He was no longer the early-stage Villain he once was.

Now, he was terrifyingly powerful!

He was well aware of the extreme measures Xiao Chen would take.

It was to sneak into the Wang Family in the middle of the night and assassinate him!

The original plot was exactly like this.

As for why?

Why was something that was supposed to happen a year later now happening prematurely?

The main reason was that Villain Alchemist Liu Feng had suppressed the Xiao Family to the point of no survival.

This completely pushed Xiao Chen to the brink!

“Xiao Chen, come on!”

“If you don’t come, how can I get your mother and your Beautiful Master?”

“Hahaha…”

Liu Feng thought with an evil smile.

He had long ago planned a grand web of schemes!

And he only needed to wait quietly for Xiao Chen to take the bait.

…………

At the same time.

Inside Wu Tan City.

Above the Xiao Family in the Void Realm.

The dense Luck that originally hovered above the Xiao Family had completely dissipated due to Liu Feng's various exclusions and suppressions, which caused all the Family's businesses to collapse.

This meant that the Xiao Family had completely fallen into decline.

Now, the Xiao Family was not even as good as ordinary small forces in the city.

The mastermind behind all of this was Liu Feng!

On the back mountain of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Chen, sitting on the grass, found that the Luck and destiny surrounding him had also dissipated and become much shallower.

Xiao Chen’s face was filled with raging anger!

“My clan has actually fallen to such an insignificant state.”

“All of this is because of Alchemist Liu Feng!”

Xiao Chen said, gnashing his teeth in anger.

Ever since Liu Feng began to suppress, exclude, and sanction the Xiao Family in various ways, no force in the entire city dared to help the Xiao Family.

This caused the Xiao Family to decline and decay at a visible speed.

The Xiao Family, from a former major force, became an insignificant low-level small force, all because of Liu Feng!

“Alas~”

“Xiao Chen, don’t be so angry.”

“Liu Feng is a Three-Rank Alchemist!!!”

“Your Xiao Family cannot contend with Liu Feng.”

From within the ancient ring, which shimmered with a strange glow, came the pleasant and melodious voice of Beautiful Master.

“Hmph!”

“Revered Master!”

“Why do you always speak up for Liu Feng?”

“Although he is an Alchemist, that doesn’t mean he is invincible.”

“Alchemists are only powerful in the aspect of refining Medicinal Pills.”

“But as long as one gets close to assassinate, an Alchemist is a squishy target!”

“Liu Feng caused my clan to fall to such a state!”

“I, Xiao Chen, will surely make Liu Feng pay with his Life Qi tonight!”

As he spoke, murderous intent surged in Xiao Chen’s dark eyes.

He was very clear that the collapse and decline of the Xiao Family’s businesses were all caused by Liu Feng.

Only by assassinating Liu Feng could the Xiao Family have a chance to survive.

Moreover, only then could the anger in Xiao Chen's heart be vented.

Therefore!

Xiao Chen had already made up his mind to quietly sneak into the Wang Family and assassinate Alchemist Liu Feng!

When Beautiful Master learned that Xiao Chen wanted to assassinate Three-Rank Alchemist Liu Feng, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said in surprise, “Xiao Chen, are you crazy?”

“Liu Feng is a Three-Rank Alchemist!”

“Do you know how terrifying a Three-Rank Alchemist’s network of connections is?”

“You actually have such an idea of assassination?”

Spiritual Ji truly felt that her Disciple, Xiao Chen, did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!

Xiao Chen, upon hearing this, looked displeasedly at the ring in his hand and said, “Revered Master, no matter how powerful Three-Rank Alchemist Liu Feng is, can he be as powerful as you?”

“With your help, lending me strength, assassinating Liu Feng would be as easy as turning over my hand, wouldn’t it?”

Xiao Chen, who was overly reliant on Spiritual Ji, believed that with his Revered Master’s strength, the success rate of assassinating Liu Feng would be very high.

“Xiao Chen, promise your Revered Master, do not assassinate!”

“You cannot imagine the network of connections of a Three-Rank Alchemist!”

Spiritual Ji earnestly tried to persuade him.

She had lived for thousands of years!

Her vision and perspective were definitely not comparable to Xiao Chen’s.

She knew that assassinating a young Three-Rank Alchemist was an impossible task.

You could never imagine how powerful and terrifying Three-Rank Alchemist Liu Feng's hidden Dao protectors were!

“Revered Master, why do you become timid whenever you encounter Liu Feng?”

“He’s just an Alchemist!”

“His Physical Body is incredibly fragile.”

“Killing him is really not difficult!”

“You just need to lend me your strength!”

Xiao Chen urged her in various ways.

“No!”

“Your Revered Master will not lend you a single shred of strength to assassinate Liu Feng!”

“Unless! You encounter a Life Qi-threatening danger, only then will your Revered Master step in to save you!”

Spiritual Ji stated her attitude very clearly.

“Good!”

“If you don’t lend me strength, I still have a way to assassinate Liu Feng!”

Xiao Chen roared in anger.

With that!

Xiao Chen no longer paid attention to his Beautiful Master.

Xiao Chen turned and went into the Family, arriving before an old man who was sweeping the floor.

This sweeping elder of the Xiao Family was named Elder Mu!

Hundreds of years ago, he was once a powerful expert in the Martial Spirit Realm, but later suffered severe injuries, nearing death, and ended up in the Xiao Family.

He was rescued by the Xiao Family’s ancestor!

To repay the kindness of rescue, Elder Mu stayed in the Xiao Family to protect it from destruction!

During the Xiao Family’s decline and fall, Elder Mu once thought of taking action, but worried about his enemies detecting him, so he remained silent, sweeping the floor.

Regarding the Martial Spirit Realm strength of sweeping Elder Mu, even Clan Chief Xiao ShuiRun within the Family did not know, only Child of Destiny Xiao Chen knew.

“Young Lord, good day~”

Elder Mu, seeing Xiao Chen approach, took the initiative to greet him.

“Elder Mu, you must help me!”

“I want to sneak into the Wang Family and assassinate Alchemist Liu Feng!”

“I implore Elder Mu to lend me a hand!”

Child of Destiny Xiao Chen held Elder Mu’s hands and spoke with extreme sincerity.

“Very well!”

“This old man has hidden for hundreds of years, I am willing to risk it all for the Young Lord!”

Elder Mu readily agreed.

And so.

With the help of Elder Mu, who was in the Martial Spirit Realm, Xiao Chen’s confidence greatly increased!

Whenever a Child of Destiny reaches a low point, there will always be a noble person to help.

Just like Elder Mu.

And Xiao Chen chose this dark and windy night!

Tonight was a good opportunity for assassination!
