Although the process wasn't easy, Ke Ake ultimately achieved his desired outcome.

"With clasped hands, Jue'an addressed King Ning: 'The old monk has but one request. After reaching Yueya Pass, Your Highness should create an opportunity for the old monk to be alone with the crown prince, without anyone else present. Once the opportunity arises, within three breaths, the old monk will take the crown prince's life.'"

King Ning narrowed his eyes.

With the strength of a celestial being who has attained the Dao, this statement is not an exaggeration.

He is absolutely capable of doing it.

King Ning's mind raced. "This matter is both easy and difficult to handle," he said.

"It's easy because of my status as the King. There are many reasons and excuses to allow the Crown Prince to meet with me alone."

"The problem is that anything I suggest will make me responsible if the Crown Prince gets into trouble. And I absolutely cannot be involved in this at all."

Jue'an calmly said, "That is precisely why I asked the prince to cooperate."

That's why you were called in, because others couldn't handle it.

This is a pretty decent compliment.

With a light chuckle, King Ning said to Jue'an, "Since I have promised you, then even if it is difficult, I will get this done. However, I also have something that needs your help, Master."

Jue Ai seemed completely unsurprised that King Ning would seize the opportunity to make a request. He said calmly, “Your Highness, please speak your mind.”

"Two people."

The King of Ning's expression was sinister as he said, "There are two people by the Crown Prince's side that you must help this king kill. These two people have nothing to do with you, but they are this king's deep-seated grudge. Without killing them, this king swears he will not be a human."

"Just now, this king has also prepared some assassins to deal with them, but even the most skilled assassins are not as reassuring as a land immortal taking action personally, Master. This request is not too much, is it"

Aware chuckled slightly and said, "Your Highness, monks should not kill."

King Ning remained silent, merely looking at Jue'an with a smile that was not quite a smile.

That look in his eyes was pure mockery and disdain.

< Jue An had not been looked at like that in how many years. >

But he said nothing, only bowed his head slightly and replied, "This old monk will obey the prince's orders."

Ning Wang let out a hearty laugh and said, "That's right! It's all killing. Killing one is the same as killing two. There's no difference. Master is doing great things; why bother with such trivial details"

Juean did not respond to the Ning Wang's words, he simply bowed and said, "Your Highness, this old monk still has injuries, so I must take my leave."

"Sure."

King Ning nodded and asked, "How will we contact each other then"

Juéàn left behind a Buddhist bead, saying: “When the time is ripe, Your Highness will crush this bead, and this old monk will arrive within an incense stick's time.”

The reason I'm here is that Jue Ai has figured things out.

Li Chen is not that easy to kill.

With his own power, he could probably completely crush Li Chen in martial arts, and the two sides couldn't even compare.

But two consecutive failures have made Jue'an reluctant to try a third time.

Moreover, this will be the third time at Yueya Guan.

There were tens of thousands of troops there, wanting to move against Li Chen. The difficulty was comparable to ascending to heaven.

So he simply entrusted all the arrangements and preparations to King Ning, taking responsibility only for the actual execution.

Leaving his own strengths and targeting Li Chen's weaknesses, Jue An believed that the third operation would definitely succeed.sed!”Zhou Xingjia stood up and, seeing Li Yinhu's face full of arrogant triumph, whispered: "Your Majesty, Zhao Xuanji has not shown up until now. He is still in his Zhao residence. Is this appropriat...
