Chapter 1822 - 1422: Awaiting the Right Moment, Kill Her!

Gu Changsheng was driving the Holy Envoy Child ahead, inching toward the end of the passageway without the slightest guilt of exploiting a child!

Upon entering the Star Innate Tower, she was unaware that at this very moment, outside the Star Innate Tower, two people were embroiled in a dispute because of Gu Changsheng’s actions!

"Star Innate Tower! It’s the Star Innate Tower! Open once a year beneath the Divine Mount Qilian, during which no one knows how many will die here! Gu Changsheng is courting death, hiding her identity and coming here. If she dies in the Star Innate Tower, it will be completely unknown to anyone! Sister, how can we miss such a rare chance? Go! Go kill her! Make sure she never returns!" Mu Wanxuan, sitting in a wheelchair at the corner of the street in front of the Star Innate Tower, was shrouded in black clothes, exuding an indescribable sinister and eerie aura. Her gaze was fierce as she looked at the continuous stream of people entering the Star Innate Tower’s gate, her voice as hoarse as ever, as if ground by a millstone, extremely unpleasant to the ear!

"Elder Sister, let it go, now is not the time to deal with her. Trust me and come with me. When my Heavenly Kingdom’s army sweeps across this continent, don’t mention taking Gu Changsheng’s life, you could even have everything she has at your fingertips. But now, it is definitely not the best time!" Lige looked at her sister, who was engulfed by hatred and sitting in a wheelchair, her face filled with worry. "Elder Sister, I’ve already disobeyed orders, leading the Bai Family and a group of infiltrators to linger here for too long. In the long run, it will only harm oneself and others, disrupting the major plans of the Heavenly Kingdom!"

"Major plans, major plans! I hear about your Heavenly Kingdom’s major plans all day long, but except for the Bai Family people, I haven’t even seen a single soldier of yours! I want revenge! If Gu Changsheng doesn’t die, I won’t die in peace. You go if you want, but don’t care about my life and death! No matter what, I have to stay and watch her die without a place to be buried!" Mu Wanxuan’s words were cold and sinister.

"Elder Sister, why do this? The high person in the Heavenly Kingdom has already predicted and ordered us not to linger here any longer. If we really encounter something bad, even I won’t be able to save you..." Lige was conflicted at Mu Wanxuan’s words. She had only this one sister, who was harmed to this extent. Honestly, Lige also wanted Gu Changsheng dead, but she cared more about the bigger picture. Whatever she said, Mu Wanxuan, blinded by hatred, wouldn’t stop, and not only that, any slight inconvenience would lead her to seek death!

Lige was an assassin, living life with a knife’s edge, and family was extremely precious to her. It was the only honesty and hope in her life. She didn’t want to lose it...

"Lige! Lige! Sister! Go! Go kill her! Do it in the Star Innate Tower, kill her without anyone knowing! No one will know it was us, and there will be no repercussions. As long as you kill her, I’ll leave with you immediately, go back to your Heavenly Kingdom! I’ll listen to everything you say in the future and not cause you any more trouble. Sister, you’re my only sister. If you don’t help me, what’s the point of living?" Mu Wanxuan’s hand tendons were cut, though they were treated, she still had no strength, weakly grasping Lige’s sleeve, with a pleading look!

Hatred!

Gu Changsheng was her life’s hatred!

The person who ruined her, she wanted Gu Changsheng to pay with her life, this was Mu Wanxuan’s only obsession at the moment!

"Elder Sister..." Lige was extremely troubled at these words, but under Mu Wanxuan’s assurance and pleading gaze, Lige’s expressionless face slowly melted...

This was her sister, who, after getting lost during Lige’s childhood, was the only one who searched for her for years, never abandoning her and always loving her sister!

Though now, she only wanted to use her hand for revenge, a sister is a sister, and this was the one kinship Lige couldn’t sever!

"Fine! I promise you! I will enter the Star Innate Tower and seize the opportunity to kill her, and you must immediately return with me to the Heavenly Kingdom, no more acting on your own whims!" After some thought, Lige nodded, she really had no way to deal with Mu Wanxuan’s suicidal tendencies, and besides, Gu Changsheng caused this to her sister, she also hated her!

Upon hearing this, the sinister look on Mu Wanxuan’s face instantly vanished, and she happily looked at Lige, saying, "I will! I will! As long as Gu Changsheng dies, I’ll leave with you! You should have done this earlier. Gu Changsheng is now the overlord of the Central Plains, without her, the Central Plains would be in chaos. At that time, your Heavenly Kingdom’s entry into the Central Plains and dominion over this continent would be easy! Sister, you will accomplish great feats for those you are loyal to!"

Lige heard this and just shook her head helplessly as she looked at her sister in the wheelchair.

Great feats?

She was a Secret Guard of the Heavenly Kingdom, hidden in the Central Plains for over a decade, retrieved countless pieces of information, and made numerous contributions, but she was ultimately not a person of the Heavenly Kingdom. Even with more contributions, she was still only a servant!

Just a servant with more utility value than ordinary ones!

"Sister, first return to the inn to rest. I will enter the tower immediately and seize the opportunity!" She spoke expressionlessly, pushing the wheelchair out of the corner.

"Alright! I’ll return to the inn and wait for your good news. Sister, make sure Gu Changsheng doesn’t die a peaceful death! I want her to suffer as I did, she must not die too easily!" Mu Wanxuan agreed to Lige’s persuasion at last, deciding to take action once more. This was unquestionably great news to Mu Wanxuan!

Is there anything more joyous than revenge?

Shortly after Lige wheeled Mu Wanxuan out of the street corner, two Persons in Black respectfully appeared, instructed to return Mu Wanxuan to the inn. Lige frowned slightly, glancing back at the towering Star Innate Tower with deep thoughts in her eyes!

Enter the tower?

Since she promised her own sister, she would certainly go in!

However, the mystery of the Star Innate Tower is something she hasn’t been able to uncover even a single bit of in all the years she’s been lurking on this continent, much like the Land of Sand Sea!

Lige has always been cautious about a place that is as tightly guarded and impermeable as this.

It is precisely because of ignorance that one feels unsure, and thus, becomes apprehensive!

Actually, whether Gu Changsheng lives or dies is not crucial to her. After all, even though she is the overlord of the Central Plains, she cannot withstand the scenes predicted by the Heavenly Kingdom’s high figures. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Kingdom, whose islands are no bigger than this vast continent, dare to covet it for so long?

But it’s just that her elder sister insists on claiming Gu Changsheng’s life...

Therefore, Lige has no choice!

She doesn’t want her elder sister to be overwhelmed by hatred and refuse to follow her, because the secret order from the Heavenly Kingdom has been around for a while, instructing them to withdraw entirely, otherwise, there might be a threat to their lives!

Thinking about this, Lige sighed helplessly, lowered her head, and walked toward the gates of the Star Innate Tower!

The challenge of ascending the Star Innate Tower welcomes all comers, as long as you have the guts and aren’t afraid of death, you can boldly come forward to seek fortune amid risks!

Lige entered the Star Innate Tower without any resistance, yet, once inside the Tower, dressed in black, she began to fade from sight when the others weren’t paying attention, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, along with her aura...

Just as she said, Lige knows that if she confronts them directly, she may not necessarily be a match for Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s group. What she can do is use the opportunity provided by the Star Innate Tower to make a move and deliver a fatal strike to Gu Changsheng!

Moreover, as an assassin, her specialty lies in gathering information and executing assassinations in the dark. Hence, she agreed to Mu Wanxuan’s plan, believing it had a high chance of success!

At this moment, however, Gu Changsheng is completely unaware of the impending danger, as he is driving the Holy Envoy Child stuffed into the burlap sack toward the first floor of the Star Innate Tower!

The corridor is narrow, only accommodating the mountain-like Yuan Bao beside him, causing many to get delayed behind them, forced to follow at a turtle’s pace!

Among those people is Diluo Han, who sluggishly moves within the corridor, staring ahead with a vicious gaze!

The Holy Envoy has said that within the Star Innate Tower, life and death are disregarded. Now, having passed this corridor, they officially enter the Tower. He wants to see who can stop him from killing Gu Changsheng!

That damned woman exposed his secrets, tarnished his reputation, he is determined to ensure she never returns!

Unlike Diluo Han’s current hatred, Gu Changsheng is indeed on high alert, because the closer they get to the first floor of the Star Innate Tower, the stronger the scent of blood becomes. Moreover, Gu Changsheng distinctly hears the clang of weapons clashing ahead!

"Damn, they’re already fighting?" Gu Changsheng widened his eyes, incredulous at the door so close.

Once past this door, it’s the first floor of the Star Innate Tower, so Gu Changsheng pulls on the rope in his hand, stopping the Holy Envoy Child from moving forward, listening intently to the sounds from beyond the door with a sense of foreboding!

If what he heard previously was just the clash of weapons, now he hears them much clearer, along with persistent cries of pain indicating an ongoing battle inside!

The ascent through the Star Innate Tower leaves only one standing, thus this is truly a case of thousands crossing a single-log bridge, survival depends solely on one’s capability!

Yet Gu Changsheng and her entourage had never intended to lose men or horses, they simply planned that as long as others don’t harbor ill intentions towards them, they wouldn’t seek to exclude anyone!

Gu Changsheng doesn’t care which floor others ascend to, as her resolve is firm - she must pass through the Nine-layered of Star Innate Tower, reach the top layer, and find that damned Ta You!

"The fighting inside seems intense, but the sound appears to be suppressed by some invisible force!"
