Chapter 300 - Ambush Plan

Jimen Kanding’s eyes flickered with madness, but he soon calmed himself down. However, boundless wrath still enveloped his heart after discovering his son’s death.

He had doted on Jimen Kang since he was his only child and he was also bound to become the next sect master of the Crimson Sun Sect, but all his plans for Jimen Kang can no longer be fulfilled...

After sorting his messy thoughts, Jimen Kanding glanced at his subordinates with a furious expression.

"Investigate this matter quickly! Whoever killed my son will have their families or sects eradicated!" As he said those words, the killing intent in his gaze intensified, making the elders of the Crimson Sun Sect unconsciously retreat in fear.

"We will investigate this matter right away, Sect Master!" The elders hurriedly excused themselves after his command. They frantically recalled their disciples to help them get to the bottom of their young master’s death.

After the elders left the Jade Hall, Jimen Kanding notified his own force to gather in the Crimson Sun Sect’s main hall.

Dozens of experts who were at least at the 7th-rank of the Emperor realm lined up in the main hall after hearing their sect master’s order. Their sect’s ten guardians were also present at the scene which made everyone quite confused as to why Jimen Kanding had suddenly mobilized all of their strongest experts.

Jimen Kanding ignored the crowd’s confusion.

"Silence!" He shouted.

"I know all of you are confused as to why I have suddenly called you here. Jimen Kang has been killed and this has been proven since his life jade has already shattered. Now, I want every one of you to search for the culprit behind his death! I want this matter investigated in detail and nothing must be left uncovered! Dismissed!" Jimen Kanding dismissed the crowd after giving them his command.

"What!? The young master was killed?!"

"Someone actually dared to kill the young master! I will kill them!"

The group of experts expressed their rage when they heard the news of Jimen Kang’s death. Although Jimen Kang’s character was flawed, he was loyal to the Crimson Sun Sect and his talent was even at the very top in the whole sect. Once news of his death reached everyone’s ears, the Crimson Sun Sect would surely become a laughingstock in the Profound Dragon Continent.

The Crimson Sun Sect tried its best to hide this matter, but the disciples still learned about what happened. It was only a matter of time before this would reach the ears of the neighboring sects and empires.

"Elder Hestia, that is the sect grounds of the Crimson Sun Sect. From the way it looks, they should have already discovered the death of Jimen Kang. They even mobilized their elders and disciples to investigate the matter." Hu Xiandao whispered to Hestia.

Hearing his words, Hestia’s lips curled up in disdain. She did not place the Crimson Sun Sect in her eyes at all. If the new disciples were not here with them, she would have already led the elders to attack their sect grounds...

Currently, they were located a few kilometers away from the Crimson Sun Sect and all of them were now wearing dark cloaks that prevented anyone from identifying them.

Even from a distance, they could already see the Crimson Sun Sect imposing sect building, but if it was compared to the Heavenly Sword Tower’s sword tower, it would only be considered as a beggar’s home. However, it was still decent compared to the sect grounds of the other sects in the Profound Dragon Continent. After all, the Crimson Sun Sect already had hundreds of years of history.

"So that’s the Crimson Sun Sect. Their sect building looks mediocre compared to our sword tower."

"Look! I can see more than a dozen of their experts standing guard in the entrance. It looks like they are already aware of what had happened."

Suddenly, another group of experts from the Crimson Sun Sect came out of their sect grounds. This group was also significantly stronger than the other groups who had set off earlier.

"They had finally summoned their elders. Elder Hu, tell everyone to prepare an ambush. We will be waiting for them in this spot, but we will give this opportunity to the young disciples." Hestia said as she pointed somewhere on the map in her hands.

Hu Xiandao glanced at the location and nodded his head in agreement. That place was indeed ideal for an ambush and assassination, but he was also bewildered by Hestia’s order. She actually wanted to give this rare chance to the disciples! Although he wanted to voice out his thoughts, he decided to stay silent. Since Hestia was confident, she must have her plans.

"Alright. I’ll inform the disciples of your plan, Elder Hestia." Hu Xiandao said as he received the map from Hestia. He then went towards the disciples and gathered all of them.

"Everyone, I have a task for all of you." Hu Xiandao said as he showed the map to everyone. Although the map was not large, with everyone’s heightened vision, it was not a problem for them to see it.

Hu Xiandao pointed to a place on the map and said. "We will wait here for a chance to assassinate the elders and disciples of the Crimson Sun Sect, but I have to warn you that there are more than ten experts in their ranks and it would be dangerous if you failed to assassinate your targets. And if ever you failed, don’t hesitate to flee. Understood?"

The disciples nodded their heads solemnly. For some of them, it was the first time they are going to assassinate someone, and their targets were even disciples of a major sect. Thinking about it, they could not help but feel a bit worried.

"Relax. Us elders are there to help you guys. I will also ask the elders to reward you based on your performance, so don’t disappoint me." Hu Xiandao smiled when he saw the anxious expression of some disciples.
