Capítulo 1816: Chapter 1817: Do You Want Dead?
All along, the Asura King has been eager to make a move against the King, but due to various reasons, he had not done so. Now that Ye Xunhuan has agreed to take action, the Asura King is naturally eager to strike as soon as possible.
“If you are ready on your side, I hope we can act today!”
The Asura King spoke to Ye Xunhuan in a negotiating tone, after all, he needed Ye Xunhuan’s assistance, and they weren’t in a superior-subordinate relationship. A harsh tone would certainly make Ye Xunhuan resentful.
Having lived for most of his life, the Asura King naturally understood this point.
Ye Xunhuan only pondered for a mont before nodding in agreent: “Alright!”
Ye Xunhuan knew clearly that even if he delayed, the Asura King wouldn’t give him the chance, and there was no need to delay further. The sooner the King was dealt with, the sooner everything would end!
Seeing Ye Xunhuan agree, the Asura King’s face imdiately lit up with an uncontrollable excitent: “Then I’ll go prepare. We’ll find the King when the ti cos!”
Ye Xunhuan nodded, not asking much, and let the Asura King leave.
After all, dealing with the King would require the Asura King to arrange everything ticulously, or there would be a risk of failure!
Ye Xunhuan was well aware of this.
As for the King’s whereabouts and his entourage, this wasn’t of concern to Ye Xunhuan. The Asura King would take him there, and even if there was sothing formidable around the King, arrangents would be made to hold it off.
A King alone was difficult enough to handle, and if there were others, it wouldn’t just be a question of killing the King; even survival would be uncertain!
After the Asura King left, Ye Xunhuan lit a cigarette, took a couple of drags, then stood up, leaving his room to find Michelle.
Although Ye Xunhuan still didn’t know how to face Michelle, now that he and the Asura King were teaming up against the King, it was undoubtedly the best chance for Michelle to escape.
So Ye Xunhuan had to find Michelle.
The place where Ye Xunhuan and Michelle stayed was adjacent, so after stepping out, it took him only a couple of steps to reach her door, where he knocked.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
The next mont, the door opened in response, revealing Michelle in a white robe to Ye Xunhuan’s sight.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, a flash of surprise crossed Michelle’s purple eyes, and she imdiately asked, “What’s up?”
“Aren’t you inviting in?”
At this mont, both Ye Xunhuan and Michelle seed slightly awkward.
Without saying much, Michelle turned and walked into the room, subtly indicating for Ye Xunhuan to enter.
Following Michelle into the room, Ye Xunhuan said, “I’ve agreed with the Asura King. We might act at any mont, so seize any opportunity to escape and don’t linger here!”
At this point, neither Ye Xunhuan nor Michelle brought up what had happened yesterday in the coffin, as if both had forgotten the incident.
“So, your confrontation with the King is imminent?”
Ye Xunhuan nodded, “Yes, the Asura King is preparing things now. If he’s ready, he might strike imdiately; that’s your chance!”
“But I think the Asura King won’t let you leave easily, so be cautious!”
Michelle understood Ye Xunhuan’s words were true. The Asura King wanted to use her to provoke a war between the dissenting Church and Patriots, so how could he allow her to escape easily?
Even if she were taken out now, the Asura King’s people would guard her closely.
Moreover, Michelle knew that the reason she was brought out was all because of Ye Xunhuan!
“I know!” Michelle said softly. “If I can’t escape, then I won’t. But be careful!”
Compared to Ye Xunhuan, Michelle felt relatively safer, as Ye Xunhuan was up against the King, while she was only dealing with the Asura King’s people, who likely wouldn’t kill her.
But Ye Xunhuan was different; if he failed against the King, the King wouldn’t necessarily let him live!
Understanding what Michelle ant to convey, Ye Xunhuan nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”
……
Everything was indeed as Ye Xunhuan expected; the Asura King was eager to confront the King, and by afternoon, he had arranged everything. After dinner, the Asura King took Ye Xunhuan away.
As for Michelle, she didn’t accompany them. After all, their target was the King, and bringing Michelle along wouldn’t help.
She might even be a hindrance.
“Where’s the King?” Ye Xunhuan looked at the Asura King and asked softly.
“The Wuling Mountains!” replied the Asura King without hesitation.
“Is that the battlefield?”
The Asura King nodded. They had already surpassed ordinary understanding, and if they fought publicly, regardless of location, it would cause a trendous stir. So anyone would choose an elusive place away from prying eyes!
The Wuling Mountains, at the junction of four provinces, naturally beca the ideal battlefield.
The average altitude of the Wuling Mountains is around a thousand ters, with the highest peak, Phoenix Mountain, reaching about two thousand five hundred ters, with a relatively flat top and steep slopes, making it an easily defensible place.
The Wuling Mountains are densely forested, and even though there are tourist spots, many areas are overlooked, making it the perfect place for a battlefield.
Now, Ye Xunhuan and the Asura King headed straight for the Wuling Mountains.
anwhile, within the Wuling Mountains, the King stood on a peak, gazing into the distance, deep in thought, pondering sothing unknown.
Behind the King stood a middle-aged man in a neatly dressed Zhongshan suit, his jet-black hair impeccably grood, and his bright eyes radiating brilliance.
“The Asura King wants to duel you!”
“Do you think I will die?” the King asked without turning his head.
“I don’t know!”
“Do you wish for my death?”
This ti, the King slowly turned his head, focusing on the middle-aged man!
