Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 173: Two Snakes Emerge from the Same Hole

“Junior has also considered that with the strength of the esteemed seniors, they may not fear them, but the problem is... there is a Sword King senior here. The Sword King is severely injured... If the enemy finds this place...” Chu Yang said with concern, “This would be inappropriate.”

The Soul Hook Throne immediately felt a chill, “Indeed, you’ve thought this through.”

He suddenly remembered that the Sword King was barely alive; not to mention fighting, even a strong vibration could kill him...

This Chu King of Hell was completely thinking about his side; the Soul Hook Throne couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed for having lost his temper at him earlier.

“Esteemed seniors, please prepare a bit. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry.” Chu Yang said sincerely, “As long as you don’t suffer any injuries, this subordinate will feel at ease.”

“You’re quite considerate.” The Soul Hook Throne said warmly.

“Alright, this subordinate takes his leave.” Chu Yang nodded, stopping at the door and casually said, “Although esteemed seniors don’t care about such clowns, I believe it’s best to resolve this sooner rather than later.”

After speaking, he paused as if wanting to say more, shook his head, and said, “Farewell.” He was about to step out when he kept calling out in his heart: Keep me! Please, hold me back! Save me...

“Chu Imperial Seat, please wait.” The Soul Hook Throne's words made Chu King of Hell’s heart settle. But he still turned around with some ‘confusion,’ seeming hesitant, “What instructions do you have, Senior Soul Hook?”

“We also wish to eliminate these pests as soon as possible, but the issue is how to eliminate them. Chu Imperial Seat, do you have any good ideas? You must know, if these people are not removed, they are like maggots on the bone, thorns in the back!” The Chu King of Hell's hesitating manner could not escape the notice of the Soul Hook Throne, a seasoned veteran.

“Well...” Chu King of Hell hesitated, feeling troubled.

“It’s alright, there are no outsiders here, speak freely. Even if you say something wrong, it doesn’t matter.” The Soul Hook Throne encouraged.

“Then... I will speak frankly.” Chu Yang said awkwardly.

“Go ahead.”

“I believe they aim to deal with our upper management only through assassination; but they wouldn’t dare touch the Crown Prince. They have no confidence, so the only targets left are me or you.”

“Correct.”

“Consequently, due to your residence, I have directly issued a gag order, so the easiest target for them to find now is me. Or rather, the easiest target to kill is also me.” Chu Yang stated frankly.

“Indeed.” The two thrones nodded simultaneously, thinking this guy still has self-awareness, knowing he is the most useless...

“So they will only lay in ambush near the Butian Pavilion; as long as I appear, they will act immediately!” Chu Yang sighed.

“True.”

“Therefore, I dare not appear.” Chu King of Hell said discouragingly.

“Dare not appear?” The two thrones simultaneously felt faint. After all this talk, you just tell us you don’t dare to appear?

“Of course, if the seniors truly want to take action, there is a way. Only I will have to take some risks.” Chu Yang sighed deeply, “If I act as bait to draw the snake out of its hole... they will definitely appear…”

“This... that is indeed a method.” The Blade King nodded slowly.

“But this approach has another problem.” Chu King of Hell silently rolled his eyes in his heart, cursing a little, “Since my cultivation level is too low, even if I serve as bait... I’m afraid it would be difficult.”

“That’s also a valid point; your skills are indeed shockingly weak!” The Soul Hook Throne looked at Chu Yang, filled with disappointment: “If they really are king level assassins, you serving as bait would just be throwing away a life. Because you can’t even withstand one attack from the enemy; they could easily kill you the moment you appear and then escape... killing you is simply too easy, too unchallenging…”
