Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince
Chapter 129 - Assessing The Situation, Planning The Next Step (II)Ye Tian Yun could only guess the reason for her to put out such prizes.
She wanted to recruit the Inner Court disciples with the Sword Intent.
Just like Jun Xie and Jiang Yun, she was also after him, since it was him who had broken through the third realm of Sword Intent.
However, Ye Tian Yun also got to know the influence of the leagues from this incident. It hadn't been more than an hour before the three top leagues knew about his breakthrough.
He didn't know that he was actually overestimating these leagues, because Jiang Yun, Yuan Shuchun, and Jun Xie only got to know about the disciple with sword intent from the Sect Leader or the Grand Elder.
The information network was indeed fast, it was just not as fast as Ye Tian Yun was scaling.
This could be further proved by the fact that, of the four Top Leagues, only three leagues came to the banquet.
'Most probably Jade League also knows about my breakthrough, but they only recruit female disciples, or else, tonight would have been even more interesting.' Ye Tian Yun still chose the worst possibility just to be careful.
If the head of the Jade League were to come here, it would have definitely created more drama, however, this league only cared about female disciples, thus it didn't have much influence outside the Third and Fourth Peak.
…
Ye Tian Yun now wanted to think about his next step.
Tonight's assassination was definitely not a simple thing. And this may affect his peaceful days since now he was going to be a Core Member of the Heavenly League.
And why was he sure about himself being a Core Member?
Not because of Yuan Shuchun's personal invitation, but the fact that she sensed the little aura of Sword Intent from him.
He had intentionally leaked the Sword Aura to get her attention because at that time he was unsure if the assassination would even take place or not because Jun Xie was present at the scene.
So Ye Tian Yun prepared himself for the worst possible scenario - the assassin backing out - and thus thought of something else to catch her attention.
Finally concluded that the Sword Intent aura would be enough to get her intrigued.
However, he didn't wish to straight-up tell him about his sword intent. There was no benefit coming from this.
So he gestured to Zheng Xiang to come with him.
And when both of them passed by Yuan Shuchun, Ye Tian Yun released a little amount of his Sword Intent.
It was just enough to get into Yuan Shuchun's senses, but not enough to let Zheng Xiang feel it due to his lower sword cultivation.
Ye Tian Yun was able to confirm that his plan was a success when he observed Yuan Shuchun's shocked expression.
She had gotten the hint. But now she was in a dilemma of verifying which of the two disciples had the sword intent.
And since Zheng Xiang was known for his sword talent, and Fang Chen didn't have a name in terms of battle prowess, Ye Tian Yun assumed that his plan to get close without letting her confirm his identity was going to be a success.
But he had to admit. He was lucky. Very Lucky.
Due to the big difference between his cultivation realm and his sword cultivation realm, his control over his Sword Intent was very weak.
It could be observed from the last two instances, at the Seventh Peak and the one just before the banquet began. He was not able to control his Sword Intent at any of the instances.
For things like having control over his sword intent, just having knowledge of previous life wasn't enough.
His mentality was strong but his physical body was not.
His strong mentality was the reason why his soul didn't scatter when he broke through the Sword Intent. And it was also the reason why he could see through Jun Xie's illusions.
His strong mentality gave him an advantage in Spirit Sense.
However, his physical body was different.
He had gone through rebirth, so him having the same physical strength was impossible. And currently was just a fifteen-year-old kid. His second growth stage has just started.
Thus him having perfect control over Sword Intent without practicing was just an absurd thought.
…
His next aim now was to get perfect control over sword intent and devise a plan to take out Xiao Ming before the Grand Spirit Hunt.
He knew the place where he needed to do this: in the southern province of the Xu Kingdom.
He knew when he needed to be there: after three months from now.
But he had no idea what he needed to do, what was 'actually' going to happen and how was he going to kill Xiao Ming.
All these questions were interrelated and if he were to be confident from the get-go, that would be no different from being conceited.
He had no idea of the power structure of the Southern Region neither he had any knowledge about the region's landscape.
So to get this information, he first needed to get access to the Heavenly League's files.
Yuan Shuchun was not a simple girl as one might imagine. Her ambitions had a much bigger radius and they didn't just cover the Gracious Sword Sect.
In fact, the Gracious Sword Sect was just a stop in her path of achieving her true goal.
And for that, she had created her personal database, and anyone who could get access to these would be updated regarding the state of the Xu Kingdom within minutes.
The other option for him to get the information was to visit a Crimson Pavilion tavern, however, they were not nearby, and visiting the tavern would waste a lot of his time.
He only had three months for the perfect opportunity to prepare a trap. If he didn't get to the Southern Region in time, he would delay his overall plan.
After all, just like Yuan Shuchun, the Gracious Sword Sect was just a stop for him. Once he finished his objective of being here, he would go after the next target.
