Ling Tian decided to take the initiative and strike. Assassinations and ambushes required reconnaissance, so having Tian Xin and Tian Meng go along was undoubtedly the best choice. However, their identities were special, and Ling Tian didn't want the Profound Ice Celestial Silkworm Race to end up opposed to those great powers. So when Lian Yue pleaded to come along, he agreed. After all, Lian Yue's ability to communicate with Heavenly Treasures was quite useful.
And so, Ling Tian and the others settled on the final group. Lu Yuan and the others went to prepare supplies for them, while Old Man Ling, Ling Tian, and the rest discussed their tactics for this outing.
Not long afterward, Old Man Ling took Little Devourer out with him. His cultivation was high, and he excelled at assassination and concealment, so evading those searching for Lingxiao Star was fairly easy for him.
More than a month later, in a secluded spot on a planet, Old Man Ling had Little Devourer release Ling Tian and the others.
After taking out a compass and confirming their location, Ling Tian looked at Old Man Ling, puzzled. "Elder Ling, we're not very far from Lingxiao Star. Why did you let us out here?"
Ling Tian and the others had originally planned to appear far from Lingxiao Star, which would have thrown many people off. Naturally, he was puzzled that they had been let out here.
Old Man Ling chuckled, then turned to Xuan Ci. "I want to test the results of Xuan Ci and the others' assassination training over the years. Don't worry, I won't have them kill anyone yet. Their first test is stealth and infiltration: how to evade the enemy and reach their destination."
"That's one of the abilities an assassin has to train in, right?"
