"How could I? He's no ordinary man—his strength matches mine. How am I supposed to threaten him? In the whole Overseas Cultivators Association, I'm the only late Heaven Rank peak great consummation expert, and I'm injured besides. Do I dare make a scene?" He Dantou shook his head in frustration. "Forget it. The blame lies in the fact that our association was founded too recently, we have too few experts, and none of them feel much attachment to any sect. All these years we've held them with cultivation resources—if not for that, we'd have dissolved long ago!"
"Ah, you're right. But with Elder Song, our honorary elder, gone, and Guest Elder Song no longer tied to us, the Overseas Cultivators Association's strength has dropped all at once…" Elder Wang sighed.
"Forget it. From now on I'll think of something—see if my brother can help me. If it really comes to it, we'll turn this place into a branch of the Five Luminaries Sect!" President He had taken some hard blows today.
"President, there's no need to be so pessimistic… things will get better…" Elder Wang said.
"I hope so…" He Dantou nodded helplessly.
After settling her affairs in the assassin organization, Xiao Rui arrived at her second grandpa Song Xianghua's villa early the next morning.
The assassin cell behind her had tried hard to make her stay, but with Xiao Rui's strength plain for all to see, they dared not do anything to her. They could only tell her to come back as soon as she could once her business was done, if possible…
"Second Grandpa, I'm all ready. Shall we go back now?" Xiao Rui was excited and expectant—she was young, after all, and it had been so long since she'd been home that every joy and sorrow showed plainly on her face.
"Mm, we set out now." Song Xianghua was ready too; he had already booked the plane tickets. Picking up their luggage, he and Xiao Rui climbed into a black stretch Mercedes—arranged by He Dantou.
He did not want Song Xianghua to leave, but the proprieties had to be observed; otherwise Song Xianghua would have an excuse never to return.
"Eh? President He? You came too?" Once in the car, Xiao Rui suddenly realized that He Dantou was sitting in the passenger seat!
"Elder Song and Guest Elder Song are returning home in glory—naturally I had to see you off in style!" He Dantou said with a smile. "I've put some cultivation spirit medicines in the car as a parting gift."
"You're too kind, President He." Xiao Rui nodded with a smile, accepting them. She felt no guilt, either—in truth, the help the Overseas Cultivators Association had given her during the Demon Trials could have been repaid with a single mission, but Xiao Rui was one to repay kindness, so she had stretched it into three, and lent her name as a guest elder of the association. In fact, these things were no more than her due.
"Here is the information on the person you need to kill!" He Dantou handed a file to Xiao Rui, then said, "I believe Guest Elder Song has heard of this person."
"Wei Zhao? I know him. Isn't he the one who wounded He Tianzu, killed Elder Chen, and stepped forward for Tang Yuqi?" Qiu Lingshan knew at once from the name on the file just whom He Dantou wanted her to kill. RS
