Chapter 1207: Wei Xu Meets Su Xuan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The map given by Granny Ghost indicated the sentry post of the mountain range. The east was the main road up the mountain, and the defense was the tightest.

The second was the south and north. Although it was a cliff, there were also disciples of the Assassin Alliance on duty.

It was not that they were afraid of a few disciples, but the Assassin Alliance had its own warning methods. Once they discovered strangers breaking in, the entire mountain would be alarmed.

As Wei Ting had expected, their best path was the cliff to the west.

The four of them took their ropes and hook knives and began to climb the cliff.

Wei Xu led the way at the front, with Jing Yi and the Saintess followed closely; Wei Ting was at the rear.

They had to climb to the top of the mountain before dawn and bring Su Xuan and Wei Yan out of the dungeon. Otherwise, they would have to wait another day until it was dark.

However, there were too many variables on this day. No one could guarantee

that the Assassin Alliance would not execute Su Xuan and Wei Yan.

This was Jing Yi’s first time navigating a cliff. He was not familiar with the hook knife and accidentally fell down.

The Saintess was the closest to him, and the ropes were connected again, hence, she fell together with him.

Wei Xu and Wei Ting chiseled their hook knives into the cliff at the same time and stabilized their bodies. Swiftly, they pulled Jing Yi and the Saintess.

The shattered stones slid down into the abyss.

Jing Yi and the Saintess swayed in the night wind and bumped a few times. Jing Yi’s cheek was grazed and finally stabilized.

Wei Xu looked down at Jing Yi. “Are you guys alright?”

Jing Yi said, “My spare rope dropped, and so did the Saintess’s hook knife.”

The golden eagle swooped down and picked up the rope hanging from the tree branch.

The hook knife was too small to be caught by the branch and could not be brought up.

Wei Ting threw his hook knife to the Saintess.

He pulled out his grandfather’s dagger. The little fat peacock had asked him to bring it with him before he left. It could barely replace the hook knife.

The group continued climbing the cliff.

In the dungeon.

Sixth Brother tortured Su Xuan for a full hour.

However, Su Xuan did not beg at all. No matter how much pain his body endured, his eyes did not show any embarrassment or surrender.

Sixth Brother flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Your bones are so hard.

Alright, let’s try the Assassin Alliance’s Soul Extinguishing Nail again!”

Ning Rufeng hurriedly spread his arms and blocked Su Xuan. “Sixth Senior

Brother! That’s enough! Master only asked you to interrogate him, not kill him! Aren’t you going too far?”

Sixth Brother said unreasonably, “This is the Asura Dao Death Penitentiary. It’s very dangerous to enter. So what if I use all the torture tools?”

Ning Rufeng frowned and said, “He’s already been tortured. There are rules for the execution. If you don’t stop, I’m going to tell Master that you used your position to take revenge!”

Sixth Brother chuckled and said, “Eighth Junior Brother, you still say that you’re not on his side. Back then, I was wondering why you couldn’t catch him after going to the Southern Wilderness for so long. From the looks of it, there’s quite a lot of trickery on you.”

Ning Rufeng mustered his courage and said, “Master will decide if I’m up to something. If Sixth Senior Brother really wants to deal with me, go to Master and report me! However, I have to remind Sixth Senior Brother that Master hates his disciples killing each other the most. Sixth Senior Brother, it’s better not to let Master discover your intentions!”

Sixth Brother narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Ning Rufeng, as well as at Jade-faced Rakshasa, who was blocked behind him.

“I’ll let you off tonight.”

With that, he pushed the wheelchair and left without looking back.

The stone door was closed.

Ning Rufeng heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed his stiff body.

He turned around and took out a bottle of medicine from his wide sleeve. He poured two pills into his palm. “Little Nine, quickly take the medicine!” Su Xuan didn’t eat it.

Ning Rufeng said anxiously, “Why are you arguing with me? You’ll feel better after eating it!”

Su Xuan said weakly, “This is… the Ice Jade Pill… Where did you get it?”

Ning Rufeng said calmly, “Yes, Master gave it to me.”

Su Xuan opened his bloodstained eyes and looked at his stiff right arm. “Did you cut yourself… and go to get the medicine from Master?”

Ning Rufeng coughed lightly and said, “I… I got my cut while practicing. Hurry up and eat! Stop dawdling!”

Su Xuan still refused to take the pill.

Ning Rufeng looked at him deeply and sighed. “You don’t have to worry about the one who came with you. Sixth Senior Brother doesn’t have a grudge against him and won’t torture him. He only took two whips… He knows how to play dead better than you. With one whip, the entire dungeon is filled with his roars, making those disciples not dare to whip him anymore. After all, Master said to leave him alive.

“I get angry at the mention of it. Can’t you give in to Master? Must you be tortured by Sixth Senior Brother like that?

“Master didn’t execute you immediately. He asked you to say who instructed you to do it. Actually, he’s giving you a chance to exonerate yourself. You can push the blame on anyone. Then, go and capture that Wei Xu with Eldest Senior Brother to make up for your mistake and salvage the reputation of the Assassin Alliance. Master won’t be angry with you anymore after that.” Su Xuan said nothing.

Ning Rufeng said sadly, “Is other people’s lives that important? I don’t know much about your family matters, but I watched you grow up. Everything you did wasn’t for yourself. It’s the same now and when you practiced the Rakshasa Secret Technique back then. I advised you, and Master clearly told you that the end of the Rakshasa Secret Technique is death. You said without hesitation that you wanted to learn it. I won’t ask you why. I’ll just ask you if it’s worth it.”

“It’s worth it.”

Su Xuan did not hesitate at all.

After more than an hour of climbing, the four of them finally arrived at the top of the cliff.

It was almost dawn. They couldn’t care less about catching their breath and immediately infiltrated the Assassin Alliance according to the route shown on the map.

The Assassin Alliance occupied the entire mountain and was even larger than the Hundred Flowers Palace. It was all thanks to the map given by Granny Ghost. Otherwise, they would have to search for an entire day.

Only a small portion of the Assassin Alliance’s mechanisms had been changed. Most of them were the same as the location marked by Granny Ghost.

Wei Xu took the lead and brought them to the vicinity of the death cell that had been circled on the map.

The Assassin Alliance was notorious. Almost no one dared to break into the prison. There were only two disciples guarding outside the death cell.

They would just lure them away.

Wei Xu looked at Jing Yi, and Jing Yi looked at the Saintess. The Saintess was expressionless, and Jing Yi jumped past her to look at Wei Ting. Wei Ting turned to look at the golden eagle on the other side.

The golden eagle slapped the falcon away!

The falcon was speechless.

The falcon flew crooked a few times and fell in front of the two disciples in a sorry state

The two disciples took a closer look and could not help but be surprised.

“Eh? Where did this falcon come from?”

“I think it’s injured.”

“The feathers are so beautiful!”

The two disciples squatted down to look at the eagle.

The four of them took advantage of the situation and quietly circled into the dungeon.

After passing through the gloomy passage, there were three big words written

on a black plaque—Asura Dao.

Wei Xu said, “Stay here and guard. If there’s a problem, leave quickly. I’ll go find them.”

Wei Ting and Jing Yi absolutely obeyed military orders.

The Saintess stood behind them in a daze.

Wei Xu passed through the bloodstained passageway and followed the thickening smell of blood to a stone door.

A mechanism was drawn on the map.

Wei Xu raised his hand and touched a slightly protruding stone. He pressed it down.

The stone door rumbled open.

“Xuan’er!”
