Chapter 2302: Chapter 2298: The Hand of Supreme Tower

"Honestly, I really hate being constantly thought about." Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold.

"Rest assured, Palace Master." Xia Yifeng cupped his hands, "Although the Supreme Tower is mysterious, since its rise during these recent times, it has mostly been wandering among the various Hidden Forces."

"The assassins it recruits from the Supreme Tower include many Hidden experts."

Xia Yifeng said proudly, "This Hidden Master, I do hold some prestige among the Hidden Forces, and countless disciples."

"I guarantee, from today onwards, no force among the Hidden Hundred Families will dare to have any relations with the Supreme Tower."

In the status of the Hidden Forces, Xia Yifeng’s position is akin to Huoo Zhongtian’s among the major forces of the Central Region.

The term Hidden Master already represents a lot.

And now Xia Yifeng’s promise is definitely enough to spare Xiao Yi from a lot of troubles thereafter.

Guardian Nangong showed a hint of embarrassment, "However, the Supreme Tower is so mysterious, even its lair is unknown."

"Otherwise, I would surely lead the strongmen from the palace to annihilate this group of bastards."

"No need to know." Lu Long coldly shook his head, "Above the Central Region, there are few who can escape my pursuit."

Guardian Bing sneered, "Indeed, if we are determined to hunt them down, those few from the Supreme Tower are not enough to keep us occupied for long."

"Furthermore, if we kill many, they will eventually become scared."

Xiao Yi shrugged, "Do as you wish, as long as I see a satisfactory outcome."

Xiao Yi was very aware of how strong these four old men truly were.

Apart from the level of the eight Masters of the Main Hall, these four are the strongest.

Even if someone like the Heartless Inn Master came, he would probably not be a match for these four.

These four have lived long lives, their cultivation naturally terrifyingly profound.

Overall, Xiao Yi is not afraid of the assassins from the Supreme Tower.

But as he said, constantly being thought about, it’s ultimately not a good thing, also a hassle.

And these four old guys, in Xiao Yi’s view, may also be a hassle, of course, the kind that vexes him to a headache.

Therefore, it’s best to utilize these old fellows to help solve some troubles.

"Alright." Xiao Yi smiled, "I have nothing more to say. As for the matter of the Ice Venerate Inheritance, you can handle it yourselves afterward."

"Yes." The four nodded.

Lu Long, Guardian Bing, and Guardian Nangong cupped their hands, "If the Palace Master has no other instructions, we shall take our leave first without disturbing the Palace Master."

"Hmm." Xiao Yi nodded.

The three of Lu Long bowed and withdrew.

Once the three left the Xia Family Territory, only Xiao Yi and Xia Yifeng remained in the hall.

Xia Yifeng frowned at Xiao Yi, "Palace Master, are you not planning to discuss with them?"

"Discuss what?" Xiao Yi asked.

Xia Yifeng replied, "Naturally, the matter Lu Yao and they spoke of."

"This matter is probably of great importance."

"I always feel there’s something wrong amidst all this."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "No, I do not doubt those three, but there’s no need for too many people to know."

Xia Yifeng said seriously, "This point indeed assures the Palace Master, Lu Long, for all his impulsiveness, knows the weight of things."

This point is indeed true.

As Lu Yao had previously said, no matter how Xiao Yi had ’overstepped’ before, or how Lu Long raged, he never intended to harm Xiao Yi.

Xia Yifeng continued, "And Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong are utterly loyal to the Ice Emperor Palace."

"Perhaps now in their hearts, the life of the Palace Master is a hundred times more important than their own."

"I know." Xiao Yi nodded, a light smile on his face.

Whoosh... precisely at this moment, Xia Canglan’s figure appeared out of thin air.

Earlier when the various elders withdrew, leaving only the Four Great Guardians here, Xia Canglan naturally was uncomfortable staying due to his standing.

Now that Lu Long and the three Guardians have departed, he naturally returned to the Xia Family Territory.

"Xiao Yi lad, Patriarch." Xia Canglan asked in confusion, "What are you discussing?"

"Isn’t the matter of Lu Yao already resolved?"

"Furthermore, those three youngsters cannot stir up much of a storm."

Seeing this, Xia Yifeng looked towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled, "If you don’t tell Senior Xia Canglan, he would privately chase me down to ask. Better to tell him now."

Xia Canglan’s brow furrowed noticeably and his expression turned grave.

He knew that this wouldn’t be a trivial matter, otherwise, the Patriarch of the Xia Family wouldn’t be so meticulous.

At this moment, Xia Yifeng opened his mouth, "Lu Yao and the others can’t stir up much, but there’s a problem with their words."

"What’s the problem?" Xia Canglan’s face showed surprise.

"Fool." Xia Yifeng said with a firm voice, "Those three fools really think the assassins of the Supreme Tower came to serve them, do you believe it too?"

"Isn’t it so?" Xia Canglan asked in confusion, "The assassins of the Supreme Tower helped plan for Lu Yao and the others long before Xiao Yi arrived at the Endless Snow Mountain."

Xia Yifeng shook his head, "Listening to the words of those three, one doesn’t feel there’s anything wrong, but upon a closer thought, you will sense something amiss."

"The assassins from the Supreme Tower, one at the Ninth Layer of the Saint Sovereign Realm, plus eight at the Peak of Eighth Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm, seem like a very strong combination, but do you think they themselves can wreak any storm?"

Xia Yifeng emphasized, "If they really came to help Lu Yao ascend to the position of the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion Master, do you think they are qualified?"

"The nine of them together probably can’t handle a single strike from that old scoundrel Lu Long."

"What do they have to offer to help Lu Yao?"

Xia Canglan’s face suddenly showed a shock, "They can do nothing against Guardian Lu Long, and their target wasn’t the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion, what is their purpose then?"

Xia Yifeng said solemnly, "Can’t you see yet? The combat capacity of this nine-member group is precisely enough to guarantee a one-hit-kill against the Palace Master."

"Their target, from the beginning, was the Palace Master."

"They just didn’t expect that within the Ice Palace Fourth Floor, the Palace Master acquired a chance, greatly increasing his strength beyond their original predictions and judgment."

Xia Canglan realized, "These nine assassins of the Supreme Tower came to help Lu Yao was just a facade?"

"Indeed." Xia Yifeng nodded.

"But..." Xia Canglan asked in confusion, "They clearly came to the range of Endless Snow Mountain early to meet Lu Yao and the others, and at that time Xiao Yi had not yet arrived."

"This is precisely where the problem lies." Xia Yifeng spoke coldly.

"They could see into the future? Knowing the Palace Master would certainly come to the Endless Snow Mountain?"

"Furthermore, they arrived at the range beforehand, found Lu Yao and the others, devised a conspiracy, and prepared various traps against the Palace Master?"

"Mind you, even for me, it was only due to Senior Luoo’s message that I learned the Palace Master would come to the Ice Emperor Palace."

"What about the Supreme Tower? How did they know in advance?"

Xia Yifeng’s eyes narrowed, "To know the Palace Master would certainly come to the range of Endless Snow Mountain ahead of time, only..."

Xia Canglan instantly reacted, his face also turned dramatically, "Patriarch means there’s an issue with the Eight Palaces?"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, speaking solemnly, "The Supreme Tower’s reach is too far."
