Chapter 98: Just How Terrifying Is Our Young Miss Meihua and A Match Made in Heaven

The main office of Heaven’s Table was lavish, decorated with spiritual wood and lined with shelves filled with various momentos. Everything was arranged neatly, giving the room a refined yet comfortable feel. Despite its luxurious appearance, the atmosphere here was gentle and relaxed.

Meihua sat comfortably in the large leather chair behind the desk. In her hands, she was casually tossing a few spatial rings, the personal belongings she had collected from the spatial storage of Wang Xiong, Chen Tianyou and the other assassins after dealing with them.

Standing before the desk were five people. Yan Rou and Hei Lang stood on the left. On the right stood Chen Luo, along with twin brothers.

"These were the guys who tried to assassinate Yu Liang," Meihua said as she placed the spatial rings on the desk. "But they failed. Or rather, they didn’t even get the chance to try."

Their eyes narrowed slightly. They knew exactly how dangerous an assassination attempt could be, especially when the target was caught completely unprepared. And if one is prepared, one mistake was often enough to turn a seemingly manageable situation into a deadly one.

Meihua looked up, her gaze turning sharp.

"Chen Luo. Take the twins with you and eradicate the entire Blood River Assassination Guild. Leave no trace of them and make sure not a single core member escapes. Consider it a warning to the other underground rats in this city."

"As you wish Young Miss," Chen Luo said without hesitation, bowing respectfully. The twin brothers also cupped their fists in unison. "We will handle it, Young Miss."

Giving the orders, Meihua’s terrifying, ice cold demeanor suddenly melted away.

She slumped slightly in the large chair, her cheeks puffing out in a distinct pout, she made an angry expression, though it was completely devoid of actual malice.

"That idiot..." She muttered, her voice carrying a hint of complain. "He actually hid it from me. He was almost assassinated and didn’t even tell me! If he got even a scratch, I’d... I’d bite him!"

Realising that she said it out loud, especially the words "bite him," made her face instantly flush.

Without waiting for a response, Meihua stood up, smoothed out her light green dress, and walked out of the office, heading back to the restaurant’s upper floors to do her work.

Once her footsteps faded, the office fell silent.

Yan Rou once again let out a long, complex sigh. She looked at the empty doorway and shook her head. "Who would have guessed... Our seemingly gentle and soft spoken Miss would actually be this terrifyingly powerful."

Hearing this, Chen Luo and the twins had no idea what had happened. When they arrived, they only saw Meihua’s face full of anger and now seeing her say this they exchanged confused glances.

"Yan Rou," Chen Luo asked, "what exactly happened to say you like that?"

Beside him, Hei Lang, the massive bear-kin, was still standing there in a complete daze. His eyes were unfocused, and his massive paws were twitching slightly. He was still processing the sheer horror of that glance that had scattered the souls of so many cultivators.

Yan Rou looked at the three of them, her expression turning extremely solemn.

"Eveyone got Killed." Yan Rou said softly. "No, I mean they were killed too easily. There were thirty two of them and the Peak Core Formation Realm leader. And you know what’s the most suprising yet horrifying part? Miss didn’t move from her place at all, nor did she use any technique. She just looked at them... and they were gone."

She looked at them. "When I said gone, I meant their souls."

Chen Luo’s pupils suddenly contracted. This was the first time he’s shown such emotions only after Yu Liang’s act. The twins, also stopped breathing for a second.

For a cultivator, they knew exactly what it meant to kill a Peak Core Formation Realm expert. It required a fierce battle, the deployment of trump cards, and a massive drain of spiritual energy. But to kill him and thirty two other individuals simultaneously, without any technique but just by looking at them?

"That’s impossible..." One of the twin whispered, his voice trembling. "Even if Miss is from one of the top families, it shouldn’t be that easy."

The other twin asked. "Did she used any High Tier Hidden Weapons?"

"....No." Hei Lang answeres.

Yan Rou’s gaze turned deep and serious. "Do not harbor any foolish thoughts of testing her limits. Even if five of us were to join forces and fight her at our current crippled condition... we would surely die. She wouldn’t even need to use her full strength."

This sentence sent a massive shock through their entire beings.

One had to know that even if they were crippled, they were still Nascent Soul Realm experts. In the entire Jade City let alone Azure Merchant Street, there weren’t many who could defeat them, let alone kill them effortlessly. Yet, their Young Miss, who looked like a fragile flower, possessed a power that completely defied the heavens.

The office fell into a dead silence once again for a few breaths.

Then, suddenly, Chen Luo let out a low chuckle.

The twins looked at him, and then, a relieved smile also appeared on their faces as well. Soon, the five of them were laughing.

"Hahaha... to think we were still worrying about the Young Miss’s safety," Chen Luo shook his head, his eyes filled with genuine admiration. "It seems our luck really great. To think we found not only such a Young Master but also Young Miss who was hiding something this terrifying all along."

"Indeed," Yan Rou smiled. "The Young Master is deep in his calculations yet extremely generous and possesses immense potential, while Miss holds the absolute power. The two of them... it is truly a match made in heaven. As long as they are together and grown, who in this world can threaten them?"

"Alright, enough chatting," Chen Luo’s expression turned cold. "The Miss gave an order. Twins, let’s go. The Blood River Assassination Guild needs to be wiped off the map tonight."

"Yes!" the twins replied, their eyes flashing with killing intent.

Yan Rou and Hei Lang returned to their usual duty of guarding the restaurant’s perimeter, while Chen Luo and the twins vanished into the night.

.

Deep in the Black Wind Mountains, dozens of miles outside the city.

A hidden valley was shrouded in a thick, unnatural fog. This was the secret headquarters of the Blood River Assassination Guild. The entrance was guarded by two heavily armed cultivators at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Suddenly, the fog was torn apart.

Three figures walked out of the darkness.

"Stop! This is the Blood River—" the guard on the left shouted, raising his weapon.

He didn’t even finish his sentence.

Chen Luo didn’t even draw his sword. He just casually flicked his finger.

A sharp, invisible sword Qi pierced through the air, instantly drilling through the guards foreheads. The two men collapsed to the ground, dead before they hit the dirt.

The twin brothers, stepped over the bodies without a second glance.

"Miss ordered not to let a single one escape," Chen Luo said as he looked at the heavily fortified gates of the valley. "Let’s start the slaughter."

With a wave of his hand, the three of them transformed into three streaks of light, charging directly into the Blood River Assassination Guild.

Tonight, the underground world of Jade City would witness a true massacre.
