Starting the Action

The Great Hero of Southern Mountain convened a meeting, but did not discuss the specific details of assassinating Eunuch Cao. He merely stated, "Someone from the court will create an opportunity for us to assassinate Eunuch Cao, but Eunuch Cao's subordinates, including his thirteen adopted sons, are all present. Killing him will not be easy."

"Eunuch Cao's thirteen adopted sons?"

Upon hearing this, everyone grew solemn. Although these adopted sons were under Eunuch Cao, they were not mere juniors. Some were older than Eunuch Cao himself, and each was a powerful martial artist. Dealing with them would not be easy.

"Originally, I didn't have much confidence, but now with Divine Fist Blood Hand and Raging Fire Mad Saber, we can definitely kill Eunuch Cao and save the world."

The Great Hero of Southern Mountain sighed, "Otherwise, if Eunuch Cao continues to wield such power, our Jin State will be finished."

Everyone nodded in agreement. With the addition of two strong individuals, Divine Fist Blood Hand and Raging Fire Mad Saber, their chances were much greater.

Zhang Yunhao said calmly, "Don't worry. Since I promised my junior sister, I will do my best."

The righteous cultivators couldn't help but frown, while the unrighteous ones looked on with gossip. At the same time, they greatly admired Divine Fist Blood Hand for daring to provoke the Great Hero of Southern Mountain repeatedly, yet the Great Hero of Southern Mountain had never retaliated.

This time was no different. The Great Hero of Southern Mountain said with a calm expression, "I naturally trust Brother Tian. Everyone try to adjust yourselves these few days. We will be taking action soon."

"Alright!"

Everyone nodded with solemn expressions. Although they had confidence, they all knew that this time it was either success or death!

Afterward, Huang Lei personally arranged accommodations for Zhang Yunhao and the others. Due to his outstanding performance today, many unrighteous experts came to curry favor with him, but Zhang Yunhao didn't pay much attention and simply sent them away.

"These people are probably looking for you to lead them, to avoid being plotted against by the righteous path."

Lei Jue asked with some confusion, "This should be a good thing for you, but you don't seem interested?"

Zhang Yunhao was naturally not interested because these people would die soon. Moreover, unrighteous experts were selfish and despicable; it was almost impossible to make them obey orders obediently, so he had no interest at all.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yunhao was more interested in those righteous cultivators. If they knew the true face of the Great Hero of Southern Mountain, they would surely hate him to the bone!

Of course, Zhang Yunhao wouldn't say these things. He said, "Old Lei, this matter is not simple. There might be many unexpected changes. When the plan begins, remember to follow me and don't act rashly."

Lei Jue was surprised, "What do you know?"

Zhang Yunhao smiled, "The Buddha said, it cannot be spoken."

Lei Jue rolled his eyes impatiently. He said, "The one paying is the boss. Anyway, I was hired by you, so you decide."

With that, Lei Jue left, smoking his pipe. Zhang Yunhao, on the other hand, seized the time to cultivate the Hundred Step Divine Fist. This time, going to kill Eunuch Cao would not be simple; the only thing he could rely on was his own strength!

That evening, a servant from Roaring Dragon Villa quietly found Zhang Yunhao. His identity was very special—it was Zhang Wei, Eunuch Cao's ninth adopted son!

After revealing his identity, Zhang Wei got straight to the point, "My foster father sent me to deliver a message: he wants you to follow the Great Hero of Southern Mountain!"

Zhang Yunhao feigned confusion, "Follow him for what?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Choosing to join my foster father is your greatest fortune!"

Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously and left without further ado. Zhang Yunhao narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that everything was going smoothly on Scholar Lu's end. If that was the case, he would have an opportunity to get close to Eunuch Cao.

"Pure Yang Virgin Boy Skill, huh? Let me have a good fight with you!"

A burning fighting spirit flashed in Zhang Yunhao's eyes. As a martial artist, who doesn't love to fight!

A few days later, the Great Hero of Southern Mountain, along with his skilled men from Roaring Dragon Villa and experts from both the righteous and unrighteous paths, a force of nearly a hundred people, rode towards the capital.

According to the Great Hero of Southern Mountain, they would go to a manor outside the capital to set up an ambush, and they would find a way to lure Eunuch Cao there!

Everyone was full of ambition, but Zhang Yunhao knew that a large army was already ambushing outside the manor. Once they entered, the army would move out and surround everyone.

Before that, the Great Hero of Southern Mountain had already left the manor with his confidants under a pretext. In the original timeline, Tian Ming and the others fought their way out of the manor and saw the Great Hero of Southern Mountain and Eunuch Cao standing on a nearby mountain, chatting and laughing. Many people were so angry they vomited blood on the spot.

"These experts are all exceptionally skilled. To deal with them, Eunuch Cao will send out all his experts except his thirteen adopted sons. Therefore, as long as I am by Eunuch Cao's side at that time, I will have a chance to kill him!"

Zhang Yunhao's eyes flashed. Although Eunuch Cao was powerful, he was confident that he would not lose to him now!

Since Roaring Dragon Villa was near the capital, they arrived at the villa by noon the next day and entered the villa under the Great Hero of Southern Mountain's leadership.

Then, the Great Hero of Southern Mountain cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, rest here for a while. I'm going to discuss the plan with the owner of the manor!"

Naturally, everyone had no objections. As the Great Hero of Southern Mountain was about to leave with Huang Lei, Longchuan, two righteous experts, and five skilled men from Roaring Dragon Villa, Zhang Yunhao suddenly stood up and said, "I haven't met the owner of this manor. Let's go take a look together."

The expressions of the Great Hero of Southern Mountain and the others changed. The Great Hero of Southern Mountain quickly signaled Huang Lei, who said charmingly, "Senior Brother, you must be tired from the journey. Why don't you rest here? We'll have a chance to meet in the future."

"Tian Ming, how can someone like you, from the demonic path, expect to meet such a distinguished person?"

Fierce Arhat said contemptuously with his gap-toothed mouth. Due to his previous crushing defeat, he hated Zhang Yunhao to the bone and constantly opposed him. It was worth mentioning that he was not taken by the Great Hero of Southern Mountain, meaning he was also a pawn, just like that couple with the Righteousness Twin Swords.

"As long as they are human, why can't they meet? Those who are afraid to meet people are ghosts, aren't they?"

Zhang Yunhao sneered, "Great Hero of Southern Mountain, these brothers have risked their lives with you this time. Don't we even have the qualification to meet the person in charge? Does that person in charge look down on us martial artists like other court officials?"

With these words, many people, whether from the righteous or unrighteous paths, frowned. They were fighting for the common people, and they were all great heroes. Did the person in charge look down on them?

The Great Hero of Southern Mountain suddenly felt a bit tricky. If this was not handled well, there might be problems. He took a deep look at Zhang Yunhao. Had this guy discovered something? Or was he simply feeling uneasy and wanted to understand the situation?

"We absolutely cannot let this guy come with us, otherwise the plan might fail. In that case, it would be too unfair to everyone's sacrifice. I knew I shouldn't have asked him to come; he's causing so much trouble."

Just as the Great Hero of Southern Mountain was about to find an excuse to refuse Zhang Yunhao, a attendant beside him suddenly said, "Manor Lord, I think it's fine to let Divine Fist Blood Hand go along. That distinguished person won't have any objections!"
