Chapter 5877
- “It seems like you know what I’m talking about...” Lance knew Yasir knew what was in his mind when he saw the shocked expression on Yasir’s face. He said frankly, “That’s right. I plan to hire them. I’m sure you know it won’t be cheap. Therefore, I came to look for you so we can share the cost...” It was too costly to hire the two titled Celestial Emperors to assassinate someone. If Lance could afford it on his own, he would not have revealed his plan to Yasir. Yasir scoffed. “It’s your idea to hire someone to assassinate David Bishop. I have nothing to do with it so why should I bear the cost of hiring the assassins?” “I’ll leave then since you are not interested,” Lance replied indifferently through Voice Transmission. As he turned around to leave, he added, “After all, I’m not the one who has to fight David Bishop in a life-or-death battle in three years...” Yasir’s expression changed when he saw Lance was about to leave. He called out, “Wait!” It was as Lance had said. Yasir was not completely certain he would be able to kill David Bishop during their life-or-death battle in the future. This was because David Bishop was too strange and unpredictable. Regardless if it was his battle with Jason or his junior brother, Harry Collett, no one had thought David Bishop would win. Nevertheless, he ended up winning both battles gloriously. What if David Bishop continued on his winning streak? He had no wish of becoming a stepping stone for David Bishop to achieve greater fame. “What? Did you change your mind?” Lance turned around and stared at Yasir intently. “Think about it first. The price of hiring those two is high. Even you might not be able to afford the price of hiring them.” Yasir said in a deep voice, “To think of hiring those two, it seems like you’re really determined to get rid of David Bishop. To do all this for a woman... is it worth it?” “As long as he dies, it’s worth it no matter the price,” Lance replied indifferently. David Bishop’s talent and aptitude for cultivation frightened Lance and brought him a sense of crisis. David Bishop, who was not even 300 years old, managed to comprehend all the profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage. Even if David Bishop’s cultivation base was not particularly high at the moment, his comprehension of the law was enough to prove his talent. At this moment, he was not confident he would be able to defeat David Bishop in a battle. Given time, David Bishop would only grow stronger and stronger. He was certain of this since David Bishop dared to enter a life-or-death battle with Yasir in three years. Even he, himself, did not dare to do such a thing. Therefore, he knew it was imperative for him to get rid of David Bishop now. Otherwise, it would be impossible once David Bishop had grown strong enough. At that time, he could only watch helplessly as his Third Junior Sister continued to stay by David Bishop’s side. He was not willing to see something like that happening as long as there was something he could do about it. “Even if we pool our resources together and manage to hire those two... They still won’t have a chance to kill David Bishop if stays hidden in the Heavenly Pool Palace.” Yasir gave voice to his concerns. Based on his words, it seemed like he was willing to go along with Lance’s plan of hiring the two titled Celestial Emperors to assassinate David Bishop. Lance’s concern was valid. The Heavenly Pool Palace was a heaven-grade force, after all. Not anyone could simply break into the Heavenly Pool Palace. If the two titled Celestial Emperors tried to break in, it was likely that they would be killed by the palace’s titled Celestial Emperors before they could even get to David Bishop. Therefore, if David Bishop remained in the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate, the two titled Celestial Emperors would not be able to assassinate him. “Naturally, I’ve thought about this as well,” Lance said with a smile, “I wouldn’t have come to you nor would I have thought of this plan if David Bishop was in the Heavenly Pool Palace. However, I know for a fact that he has left the palace’s estate for the Title Temple with the Henry Shaw. He has probably gone there to obtain a title.” Lance’s eyes shone with killing intent as he said viciously, “The plan should work if the two titled Celestial Emperors assassinate him during their journey back to the estate. One of them can hold off Henry Shaw while the other kills David Bishop. The odds are in our favor.” “He went to the Title Temple?” Yasir was stunned. He did not expect his opponent would go to the Title Temple instead of cultivating in the Heavenly Pool Palace. However, now that he knew David Bishop was not in the Heavenly Pool Palace, he no longer hesitated. He asked, “Lance, how are you going to contact those two?” “Since I came to you and proposed this plan, I, naturally, have a way of contacting them,” Lance said with a faint smile on his face, “I only looked for you because I need someone to share the cost with me. If you agree, I’ll contact them immediately and have them intercept David Bishop during his journey back to the palace’s estate.” “Alright!” Yasir gritted his teeth and agreed to Lance’s plan even if his heart ached at the thought of having to spend so much. ... Although there was a Title Temple in every Devata Realms, all of them shared the same testing ground for Celestial Lords and Celestial Emperors. The testing ground was a secret realm that was independent of all the Devata Realms. “I’ve reached my limits.” After a month, David Bishop could no longer withstand the crushing pressure. He could only temporarily stop refining the energy from the Pine Willow Divine Tree for now.
- Boom!
