Chapter Sixty-Five: The Beauty Trap
Boom! Boom! Bi Fan and Tang Yugang fought with ever-increasing intensity.
Though Bi Fan had been on the defensive the whole time, he still managed to defend and counterattack, putting on an impressive showing.
Wu Tianyun thought to himself, Bi Fan really is a genius. His fighting strength keeps improving as the battle goes on. If I could put him to work for me, Tianyun Prefecture would surely grow stronger. What a pity that he won't be easy to tame. I should find an opportunity to get rid of him before he becomes a problem.
Several of Wu Tianyun's subordinates had seen through his intentions. They volunteered to go kill Bi Fan, but Wu Tianyun turned them down.
He knew very well that if you struck a snake without killing it, it would bite you in return. So he was considering handling it himself—or else paying a hefty price to hire a top assassin to murder Bi Fan.
In any case, Bi Fan couldn't be allowed to live. And until he was dead, he couldn't know that Tianyun Prefecture was behind it.
After weighing it over, Wu Tianyun decided to hire an assassin to kill Bi Fan on his own turf.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to put out a bounty and hire a top assassin.
Wu Tianyun offered three million Seven Star Soul Jades—a sum enough to tempt any Golden Immortal expert. Surely, an assassin would accept the job soon.
It didn't matter how many people took the job. Only the one who brought back Bi Fan's Nascent Soul would receive the bounty.
For the sake of Seven Star Soul Jades, many Governors were willing to become assassins.
"Bi Fan, three million Seven Star Soul Jades will be more than enough to kill you."
