Chapter 163: The Japanese Conspiracy [1st Release 6/13]
"The Liu Family? Shouldn't we be looking for Xu Hao?" Cui Hao asked.
Kameda Juuni glanced at him disdainfully, "Master Cui, I think if your brain is useless, you should donate it to someone in need. Intelligence shows that Xu Hao is with Liu Tianxiong. Where Xu Hao is, that's where we should go!"
"So it is! My lord, you are truly brilliant!"
Cui Hao praised Kameda Juuni strenuously, yet cursed inwardly, Wasn't I just trying to flatter you? Damn it, would I be kissing up to you, you damn turtle's offspring, if it weren't for wanting to enter a higher realm?
However, Cui Hao didn't dare to show his feelings and quickly instructed the Cui family members to prepare the carriages and depart for the Liu Family.
When the guards of the Liu Family saw the approaching carriages of the Cui family, they immediately rang the warning bell.
"They're here!"
Xu Hao, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes and said indifferently, "The Cui Family must be eliminated! Patriarch Liu, come with me to meet that old fellow Cui Hao."
"Yes! I swear to follow young master to death!" Liu Tianxiong hurriedly followed.
The moment Xu Hao stepped out of the Liu Family's gate, he sensed an unusual aura.
It felt as if there was a venomous snake, hissing and hiding in the shadows, watching you.
Ambush!
Xu Hao sneered inwardly, the attackers could hardly have imagined that his sense of danger was so acute.
Moreover, he could easily discern the direction the danger was coming from.
Five o'clock direction!
Xu Hao's eyes gradually grew fierce, and then he pretended to look back casually.
With just that one look, he saw a lot.
He saw a young man hiding behind a large tree, watching him coldly, a bow in his left hand, and a quiver on his back with precisely nine arrows.
At that moment, he was holding one, notched on the bow.
The arrow was poisoned!
And the man's appearance resembled the Islander ninja from last night!
Islander!
Xu Hao's heart chilled; an Islander was lurking behind, ready to shoot at any moment!
Moreover, the attacker was a Half-step Jounin!
The material of the poisoned arrow in his hand was indiscernible by Xu Hao, but it was undoubtedly extremely hard. Coupled with his Half-step Jounin prowess, piercing through a large tree would be a breeze.
Ninja, synonymous with assassin, aims for a fatal blow in one strike; if the first strike fails to kill, they escape, looking for the next opportunity.
But the attacker carrying ten arrows indicated this was a fight to the death, and moreover, he was cautious.
The attacker was stronger than Kameda Juuzou, yet he still chose the art of ambush and assassination he was best at.
Xu Hao's mouth curled slightly, his expression unchanged as he continued to walk forward, but his attention was more focused on the young man behind him.
Compared to him, Master of the Cui Family, Cui Hao, who had control of the Peak of mastery, seemed very weak.
However, he also noticed something unusual about Cui Hao; there was a gloomy aura all over him, as if he was constantly surrounded by ghosts.
Seeing Xu Hao, Cui Hao coldly snorted, "Xu Hao, hand over what you took last night, and I'll spare your life!"
Liu Tianxiong immediately retorted angrily, "Old man Cui, what are you good for? You think the Islanders will protect you thoroughly just because you've allied with them? The boss doesn't bother with our insignificant family clans, otherwise with a mere flick of his finger, your entire Cui Family could be wiped out!"
Cui Hao glanced at Liu Tianxiong and coldly snorted, "Mr. Liu, don't lecture me. What good does following the Xu family do you? You're just a dog of the Xu family! And now, with the Xu family about to face a siege from powerful forces from all sides, do you really think they can withstand it? It's all wishful thinking! Just watch, within three months, the entire Xu family will be finished!"
Cui Hao respectfully bowed towards the direction of the Island Country, his face full of reverence, "And our Cui Family, having the foresight, has already pledged allegiance to the Island Country Kameda Family early! Under the grace of Lord Kameda, our Kameda family will definitely prosper!"
Hearing this, Xu Hao couldn't help but laugh, "Cui Hao, right? I was thinking, hasn't our Xu family treated you well? Why would your entire family betray us?"
Cui Hao glanced at Xu Hao and coldly snorted, "What would a little kid like you understand? What has our Cui family gained from following the Xu family for so many years? Other than being saved by you once long ago, we've gained nothing! But just after we started following the Kameda family, Lord Kameda has already bestowed grace, allowing every girl in our family over sixteen to go to the Island Country for cultivation!"
Girls over sixteen!
Xu Hao immediately thought of a highly evil sorcery recorded in the heritage—collecting the bloodline of a thousand girls born on a Yin year, Yin month, and Yin day could refine a Divine Skill.
Once the Divine Skill was fully achieved, it could withstand any attack from cold and Yin arts.
It sounded mysterious, and Xu Hao also thought it was probably a hoax, but there is no smoke without fire.
Could it be that the Kameda family needed so many young girls from the Cui family for something simple? The cultivation might be a pretense, but the true purpose…
