Battle Again

He was utterly unwilling to accept this.

He had originally been brimming with hope of taking the chance to kill Chu Liezhao and replace him.

But man proposed while Heaven disposed. Who could have expected Chu Liezhao to have hidden himself so deeply?

No wonder they needed to kill him. He was already so sinister now—what would become of him in the future?

"Fifth Brother, how about we kill him first, then leave?" Cheng Yunqi said. "Have Madam Zhou and Mr. Hu depart ahead of us."

"Sixth Prince," a young man in purple robes hurriedly said, "if it cannot be done, there is no need to force it. These are the Pavilion Master's orders."

"What else did the Pavilion Master say?" Cheng Yunzheng asked in a deep voice.

His face was pale, but his eyes burned brightly.

Clearly, the earlier battle had not been as effortless as he had made it seem.

"The Pavilion Master also said that man plans, but Heaven decides. There is no need to act against Heaven."

Cheng Yunzheng said coldly, "Act against Heaven, hmph. Are we supposed to let him grow strong and flourish?"

The purple-robed young man said, "This man reversed yin and yang because of his death tribulation. He has the bearing of a Spirit Venerable. He is now a hidden dragon not yet emerged from the abyss—the best time to eradicate him. If we miss this chance, we may truly lose it forever."

"If we cannot stop him, then..." Cheng Yunqi said, "couldn't the Pavilion Master speak to the Phoenix Dynasty?"

"The Pavilion Master believes it is unwise to speak with the Phoenix Dynasty," the purple-robed young man said. "The Phoenix Dynasty is arrogant. Even if they heard what the Pavilion Master had to say, they might not kill him."
