Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

The new entrant entered the hall, and looked around.

His eyes stopped on Ye Tian Yun for a slightly longer and moved on to the next person.

He nodded at Yuan Shuchun and cupped his fists at Peak Master Duan as a greeting, "Greetings, Peak Master Duan."

"Hmm, good to see you here, Jun Xie."

Jun Xie, whom Ye Tian Yun had last met in the Heavenly League's banquet, and the one who was very proficient in illusion Techniques.

He slowly moved towards the side opposite to Yuan Shcuhn's group and stood beside the wall.

Peak Master Duan let out a small smile and moved towards his own seat.

After a few more minutes, more disciples began to arrive, and slowly, there were a total of nine disciples who would be part of this mission, including Yuan Shuchun and her group.

Though there were about ten people in the hall right now, the hall was very quiet, and an awkward silence prevailed throughout the Grand Meeting Hall.

Even Peak Master Duan didn't say anything, except for occasional nods at the greetings he received from the incoming disciples.

*creak*

Suddenly the side door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and the man that everyone had been waiting for finally arrived at the scene.

It was Sect Leader Su.

"Good day, everyone, glad to see you here at such short notice."

All the disciples cupped their fists at him and looked at him in a very curious expression.

Just like Yuan Shuchun, they too were unaware of the contents and goals of the supposedly secret mission and were waiting for Sect Leader Su to spill the beans.

Sect Leader Su first looked from one corner to another, and after nodding at Peak Master Duan, he addressed the disciples standing in front of him.

"Disciples, I have called every one of you here for a very special mission."

"This mission will most probably decide the upcoming direction of the future of our sect."

After a slight pause, he said, "And, this mission will be in cooperation with none other than the Xin Royal Clan."

As soon as Ye Tian Yun heard the name of the clan, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

'So, fate is still playing its game? The mission that was supposed to happen a month ago is still going to happen.'

"Xin Royal Clan?" While Ye Tian Yun was quite relieved, others were very much surprised.

Especially Yuan Shuchun and sensing the expression of Seventh Peak Master, he too probably was unaware of the contents of the mission.

Sect Leader Su didn't pause for long, as he had expected such a reaction. He continued, "The main objective of this mission is to ambush an entourage from the Wu Kingdom."

This time, the reaction was much more intense.

The disciples' expressions turned even more grave; they now had a slight understanding that this 'secret mission' was also going to be very dangerous for their lives.

Ye Tian Yun, however, was once again feeling the opposite emotions.

'Well, this mission is exactly the one where Xiao Ming first revealed his Token Of Fate.'

Everything was not going just like how it was supposed to. And to Ye Tian Yun, nothing could be better than this.

As long as everything went according to how it was supposed to go, Ye Tian Yun would have a certain grasp over the situation.

"On this entourage is a very important and talented member of the Wu Kingdom, and our mission is to kill all the members in this entourage before they cross the borders." Sect Leader Su continued, "However, there are few variables that everyone must keep in mind."

"The first thing to note is, those people are in disguise, and we don't have many clues to identify them. However, there is one solid intel that would be enough for you to prepare the ambush."

"The only issue in this is - if you miss this one opportunity, you will lose the tail, and the whole mission will be a failure."

"The second thing to note - and this is also the reason why it's you disciples who are being sent on this mission, instead of older cultivators - is because we don't want much commotion."

"I know, you may argue that a cultivator with higher cultivation would have easily taken down the whole entourage and completed the mission without breaking a sweat - well, that is actually impossible and the worst step we could have taken."

"The reason behind is pretty simple - the entourage has a cultivator in the Core Establishment Realm and a box."

As soon as Sect Leader Su said these words, it was like a bomb dropped on the disciples.

"Sect Leader, they have a Core Establishment Realm cultivator, and you want us, mere Tri-Qi Realm brats, to complete the mission?" Yuan Shuchun asked, "How is it different from asking us to just die?"

Sect Leader Su shook his head, "Don't you worry about that cultivator. What you need to worry about is the box."

"What is in the box, Sect Leader?" It was Jun Xie who had asked this question.

Sect Leader Su pursed his lips, "Something which can detect cultivators of the realm higher than Tri-Qi Realm. And it makes a protective array around our targets as soon as such a threat is detected."

"This is why we need disciples who are the best of the Tri Qi Realms - disciples like you guys."

"The last thing that you guys need to take note of is - your group won't be the only one targeting the enemy. A few other groups from unknown sects are also taking part in this. So you must assassinate the enemy before them, and along with that, you also need to safely return to the sect with the enemy's head."

"Don't let those from the other groups steal your spoils."

"As for how we will distract the Core Formation Cultivator - there will be someone else who will come with you."

Turning his head to the right, Sect Leader Su added, "It will be the Seventh Peak Master Duan."

As soon as he said this, Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but frown.

This was the first thing that had gone out of line - Peak Master Duan wasn't supposed to be a part of this mission.
