Chapter 875: Grandfather and Grandchildren Reunion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The man on the bed woke up.
He opened his cold eyes. It was as if two dark holes had been chiseled out of purgatory. A murderous aura swept over.
He moved slightly, and the sword under his hand instantly shattered into blades.
The man in black was almost blinded by a flying blade fragment.
After dodging, he looked at the other party in disbelief and finally understood why his master had sent so many experts to assassinate this person.
It was not only because there were many experts in the Holy Maiden Temple, but that this guy was simply an expert among experts!
However, he had just woken up and his aura was still very weak.
They would take advantage of his illness to take his life!
The man in black pulled out the dagger from his waist with his left hand and stabbed the man in the chest.
However, before his saber could touch the man, he was sent flying by the man’s palm attack.
He crashed into the table behind him and fell to the ground in a sorry state. Four of his ribs broke, and his internal organs were damaged. He vomited a pool of blood.
This was only the power of a palm attack.
His companion was also a little shocked.
Everyone who came here tonight was a top expert, but they could not even withstand a single move from this person.
At this moment, he glanced around and saw the swaying curtain beside him.
He reached out and grabbed a little girl from behind the curtain.
“It’s really lively tonight…”
He mocked coldly.
Just now, the four little ones were bored and played hide-and-seek.
Wei Xiyue stood behind the curtain and closed her eyes to count. The three tiger heads hid and she would look for them when she counted to 20.
She had only counted halfway.
“Be a good girl and surrender, or I’ll kill…”
Before he could finish his last word, the man in black’s companion felt his throat being strangled by a terrifying internal force.
His face turned purple, and his eyes bulged. The veins on his forehead bulged.
The man on the bed waved his hand and a powerful internal force hit him, sending him flying into the wall.
There were a few more cracking sounds, and all the bones in his body broke.
He lay facedown on the cold floor, trembling like a dying fish.
“No… this isn’t… possible..
The man sat up with a cold expression and walked down barefooted.
Perhaps it was because he had not walked for too long, his footsteps were a little sluggish.
His eyes were also very empty and bloodshot.
The two men in black were already unable to move and had lost all their combat strength.
They looked at the man with empty eyes and suddenly realized that he had been refined into a puppet.
His killing move just now was not to save the children. He had sensed their killing intent himself.
The man stepped over a man in black expressionlessly.
He came to the thick stone door and punched down.
A small hole opened in the stone door.
He punched twice more.
When the third palm landed, the thousand-pound stone door shattered with a bang.
Dust and stone fragments assaulted his face, but he didn’t even blink.
Just as he was about to step out, Wei Xiyue said softly, “Grandpa.”
The man stopped in his tracks.
“Grandpa.”
Wei Xiyue called him again.
He turned around slowly and looked at Wei Xiyue with bloodthirsty eyes.
The man in black reminded her sarcastically, “The little girl… he’s not your grandfather… He’s a puppet… a monster with no humanity…”
Wei Xiyue ignored him. Holding the jar in her arms, she ran to the tall and powerful man and raised her palm-sized face. “Grandpa.” He slowly squatted down and knelt on one knee.
His eyes were still empty, as if he didn’t know what he was doing.
Wei Xiyue put down the jar and opened her soft arms to hug his neck without any fear.
“Grandpa.”
Not a puppet, not a monster.
It was Grandpa.
The best grandfather.
Puppets had no memories and no emotions.
In fact, because they were controlled by medicine all year round, some powerful puppets might even lose the ability to express themselves.
The man was in a daze as the little girl hugged him. A trace of confusion flashed across his bloodthirsty eyes.
But gradually, the killing intent in his eyes seemed to fade bit by bit.
He opened his mouth with difficulty and said awkwardly, word by word, “Xi,
Yue.”
“Saintess! Saintess!”
The Holy Maiden had been injured a while ago and had finally recovered, so she naturally had to rest early.
However, just as she lay down, she was woken up by the commotion outside.
She frowned unhappily. ‘What is it?”
The disciple who came to report hurriedly said in a panic, “Someone barged into the Qionghua Hall! They broke into the secret room! They even locked Emissary Lin outside!”
It was not strange to barge into the Holy Maiden Temple, but it was a little intriguing to barge into the Qionghua Hall. The fact that they could directly find the secret room meant that the uninvited guests tonight were targeting that person.
The Holy Maiden put on her clothes and walked out. “How many people are there?”
The disciple said nervously, “There were so many…”
The Holy Maiden said calmly, “How many went in?”
The disciple said with a trembling voice, “Two…”
That person had yet to wake up. Not to mention two, just one of them could kill him.
The Holy Maiden’s expression turned cold and she immediately went to Qionghua Hall.
The experts of the Holy Maiden Temple and the assassins in black were still fighting.
The Holy Maiden only glanced at them indifferently before entering the hall.
However, when she arrived at the door, she saw only the mess on the ground, the destroyed stone door, the unconscious disciples, and Emissary Lin, who was pressed under the ruins.
As for the secret room, it was already empty.
The Holy Maiden squatted down and pricked Emissary Lin’s acupoint with a silver needle.
Emissary Lin regained some consciousness and looked at the Saintess weakly.
“Saint… Saintess…”
“Has he been taken?” the Saint asked.
Emissary Lin shook her head slightly. “He… he left himself…’
The Saintess frowned.
“He… he even brought…” Emissary Lin was too weak and fainted again before she could finish.
In this situation, it was useless to use silver needles a second time.
At this moment, Emissary Loo rushed over.
She looked at the destroyed stone door and the unconscious Emissary Lin and his disciples. Her expression changed.
She quickly entered the secret room to check again and saw two dead men in black.
She left the secret room with a serious expression. “Saintess?”
The Holy Maiden said calmly, “He just woke up and doesn’t have enough stamina. He can’t go far. Bring people and chase after him separately.”
Emissary Loo cupped her hands. “Yes!”
When they came out of Qionghua Hall, the assassin had already been repelled by the experts of the Saint Lady Temple.
However, because the commotion was too great, it still disturbed many elders. Elder Ji rushed over with his disciples and bumped into the Holy Maiden, who was about to leave.
Elder Ji asked, “It’s so late. Where are you going?”
The Saintess said calmly, “Capturing the assassins.”
Elder Ji smiled. “The palace selection will be tomorrow. Leave the capture of the assassin to your subordinates. Saintess, you should rest early and not delay the serious matter.”
The Holy Maiden did not answer and walked away.
After taking two steps, the Holy Maiden suddenly stopped. Without looking back, she looked ahead and said,
“Qionghua Hall is where I cultivate. It’s more than half a hall away from Elder
Ji’s Hui He Courtyard.. How did Elder Ji rush over first?”
