However, the Saintess has already been in the Innate Realm for several years, and if we consider the path of the Innate, the Saintess is indeed my senior.

After years of hard work, her cultivation should be even more profound, far surpassing mine.

The prefect of Dongting County, Wuyang Marquis Li Gui, is an Inborn Grandmaster who has been in the Innate Realm for thirty years.

Although it is rumored that he has always been in the first realm of Innate and has been unable to break through to the second realm, his strength is still profound and far beyond that of a newcomer like me.

I heard that the Poison Sect has the Ten Thousand Poison Body, with the Saintess’s innate talent, she must have already cultivated it and can now defy the world of Jianghu.

How about this time we assassinate with the Saintess taking the lead, and I will assist by her side, acting as a pawn.”

Li Xiong’s face was filled with a smile, speaking humbly.

However, Lan Zhaoyun, who was standing beside him, was displeased upon hearing this and said, “The Emperor of Shu has a good plan. Hiding behind while letting our Saintess, a woman, take the brunt of the danger. Aren’t you afraid that the news will get out and be laughed at by the world?”

The so-called bird who sticks its head out gets shot.

Even in assassination, the first person to take action will undoubtedly attract the most counterattacks from the target.

Li Xiong spoke humbly, but in reality, he wanted Lan Cai’er to act as his shield. Lan Zhaoyun, with his deep scheming, would not let his daughter take such a risk.

“Sect Leader Lan, you’re joking. I’m just admiring the Saintess’s cultivation and don’t dare to show off in front of her. If you don’t want to, then forget it.”

Seeing that the other party did not take the bait, Li Xiong did not press further, but quickly changed the subject, “In that case, we will both take action at the same time. Facing our simultaneous killing moves, it would be difficult for Li Gui to react, increasing our chances of success.”

Although Lan Zhaoyun was still somewhat dissatisfied, this was indeed the fairest way, so he reluctantly nodded and said, “Then let it be.”

Seeing the other party’s agreement, Li Xiong smiled in satisfaction, and then said, “So it’s decided. We will take action tonight at midnight, when most people in the city are asleep, and Li Gui’s guards are at their weakest. This is when our chances of success are greatest.”

“Okay.”

As for the time, it was indeed the favorite choice of assassins in Jianghu, and Lan Zhaoyun had no objection.

Thus, the two sides reached a consensus in this regard.

Afterward, Li Xiong said, “With the eight of us taking action together, Li Gui will undoubtedly be doomed tonight. However, this man is only the weakest among the five Inborn Grandmasters of Da Yue’s court.

Even after killing him, it will still be difficult for us to succeed.

Before leaving for this mission, I had already mobilized my army in the country, and I’m preparing to command an army of one hundred thousand soldiers this spring, to capture the last Wushan Prefecture of Xichuan, and open up a passage to Dongting County.”

This reigning Emperor of Shu shared his plan and then turned to look at Lan Zhaoyun and continued, “I hope that your sect can mobilize the Miao People at that time, and launch uprisings in various places in Dongting, seizing prefectures and counties to cooperate with our side.”

Last year, when Li Xiong led an army of one hundred thousand to attack Wushan Prefecture, they ultimately failed due to the reinforcements of

Dongting County and the intervention of Li Gui, the Inborn Grandmaster.

However, if they could successfully assassinate Li Gui this time, they would eliminate the Inborn Grandmaster and shake the morale of the defenders of Wushan Prefecture. If unrest erupted in the rear of Dongting County, it would be easy to break through Wushan Prefecture.

“No problem.”

Hearing Li Xiong’s proposal, Lan Zhaoyun readily agreed. He had already planned on taking advantage of Li Gui’s elimination to raise troops.

Now, their thoughts just happened to coincide.

However, after agreeing, in order to demonstrate his strength and deter allies, he said, “This time, I will mobilize one hundred thousand Miao Soldiers within the county to launch uprisings within the seven prefectures.

The unprepared Yue People will certainly find it difficult to resist.

By then, our two forces will join together, commanding a total of two hundred thousand elite soldiers; even if Bai Mengyang leads his troops, he will not be able to resist us.”

As expected, upon hearing that the Poison Sect could mobilize one hundred thousand Miao Soldiers, Li Xiong’s eyes flashed with surprise.

He needed to know that he controlled the entire Xichuan County, and the total number of troops he could deploy was only one hundred thousand.

‘It seems I have underestimated the Miao People.’

So thought Li Xiong, but his face was filled with smiles, saying, “Then I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate your sect in advance on a successful uprising and jointly establishing a new country with me.”

Hearing the words about establishing a country together, Lan Zhaoyun laughed and waved his hand, saying, “It’s too early for Emperor Shu to say these things. Whether the uprising will go as planned remains unknown.”

Despite his words, the confidence and determination in his tone were unmistakable, and could not be concealed.

Even the two guardians and the Saintess of the Poison Sect beside him had smiles on their faces, clearly having no doubts about their ability to establish a new country.

Seeing this, a hint of wariness and vigilance flashed in Li Xiong’s eyes.

Lan Zhaoyun’s previous guess was correct.

As the founder of a powerful kingdom and an Inborn Grandmaster, how could Li Xiong not harbor ambitions in unifying the world?

However, due to the current strength of the Yue People’s Court, he still needed Miao People’s help and had no choice but to tolerate them for now.

But once the pressure from the Yue People was gone, who would eventually control the vast land of Dongting with its ten prefectures and thousands of miles, that would be a matter for discussion.

Of course, these were all matters for the future. At present, the priority was to eliminate Li Gui.

So the several people looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh together.

As the saying goes, people’s hearts are separated by their stomachs, so who knows who has malicious intentions.

At this moment, the two allies, each with their ulterior motives, began to wait for the arrival of midnight..
