Chapter 149: Approaching Undying Mountain

Yang Zhu's expression turned grim, his eyes piercing the falsehood, he locked onto a direction, two daggers condensed from divine sense shot out and vanished into the void.

"Pfft!"

Kilometers away, two blood blossoms exploded like brilliant fireworks streaking across; the corpses hidden in the void had no time to fall before being crushed into ash by Dao markings.

Only the faint scent of blood lingering in the air showed that what had just happened was real.

"What a terrifying method!"

Ye Fan gasped; the two assassins were so close, yet he had sensed nothing, and now thinking back made his scalp tingle.

"Damn, they're everywhere."

Li Heishui cursed, feeling creeped out; it's hard to imagine what would have happened if they hadn't been noticed.

Those assassins cultivated a supreme secret technique, specially for taking lives and beheading victims, extremely terrifying.

The assassins sent were extremely stealthy, soundless and traceless, making them hard to detect even when lurking nearby.

Moreover, every move they made was a killing technique, each strike fatal.

"Today I'll see what you're capable of."

Yang Zhu activated the Front Word Secret, etching in the void; instantly Great Dao runes appeared, Dao charts began to evolve, and soon he locked onto over a dozen figures.

Countless crystalline threads condensed, intertwining; each thread embodied the Dao and principle, profound and mysterious, and with a slight tremor the void split open with fissures.

A crystalline gleam flashed at Yang Zhu's brow; the next moment a golden divine waterfall shot out, dividing into over a dozen killing intents that slipped into the spatial rifts.

Over a thousand li away, two figures walked side by side when suddenly their hearts shuddered, a deathly aura surging like a raging flood.

"What's going on?!"

The terrifying aura almost made their bodies burst, their souls trembling uncontrollably; before they could react, a blood hole appeared on their brows, and they instantly lost vitality.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft..."

Almost simultaneously, over a dozen assassins of the Assassin Divine Dynasty were all slain; they died without knowing why, falling just like that.

"My goodness, killing someone from a thousand li away invisibly—what method is this?"

Li Heishui and the others stared dumbfounded, scalps tingling, their hearts shocked to the extreme, unable to calm for a long time.

Finally Yang Zhu extended a hand into the void; when his palm reappeared, a young man was yanked out by it.

The man was barely in his twenties, yet his body reeked of a sharp blood odor, strong killing intent circulating, so thick it was nearly substantive.

Evidently his hands were stained with many lives.

"You… who are you? How did you find me?"

He had been hiding in a mountain range several hundred li away; who would have thought he'd suddenly be brought here, his eyes full of disbelief.

At this moment he was bound by several thin strands; no matter how he struggled, he could not break free.

"Yo, these are the Assassin Divine Dynasty's people?"

The Black Emperor darted up at once, circling the man.

"It's you lot who've been hunting me? Who sent you?"

Facing these assassins, Ye Fan flew into a rage, divine power surging within, his body coated in a layer of gold, wishing he could slam this person to death with one palm.

"You are the Holy Body Ye Fan!"

That person instantly understood, realizing the situation was dire and wanting to commit suicide, but found himself firmly bound by spatial power, unable to die even if he wished.

"How many did you deploy this time?" Ye Fan pressed urgently.

"Dream on, kill or cut as you wish!"

Disciples of the Killing God Divine Dynasty all received specialized training; should a mission fail, they are always ready to fall.

It's nearly impossible to get any information from them. "This won't be tolerated."

Yang Zhu smiled, directly pulling out his divine sense, quickly scanning it, and soon obtained the answer.

"How is that possible… who exactly are you?"

Seeing this, the assassin's eyes filled with bloodshot veins as he strained with all his might; his cultivation at the First Stage of Dragon Transformation was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

"It's the Illusion-Extinguishing Palace."

"It's really them."

When Ye Fan learned the result, he wasn't surprised; he'd had multiple grudges with the Illusion-Extinguishing Palace, so it made sense they'd spend heavily to hunt him down.

"Li Yishui, you old coot, I'll make you pay sooner or later!"

Ye Fan's eyes turned cold, killing intent flaring; he had clashed many times at the Stone Gambling Workshop with this Illusion-Extinguishing Palace elder, and it was definitely this person who made the move.

"I didn't expect that old brat to be so vicious; if open methods fail, he resorts to sneakiness."

Li Heishui had once toyed with that man, but only out of fear of the Thirteen Great Bandits, he never dared to act directly against him.

"You all be careful; once the Killing God Divine Dynasty accepts a kill order, they will never cease until death."

Yang Zhu couldn't stay by their side forever; he had his own affairs to attend to, and now he had to rush to Undying Mountain.

The Domain Gate unfolded; as Yang Zhu was about to step in, a small hand grabbed his cuff.

"What's wrong, Nannan?"

Looking down, he saw little Nannan tightly clutching his cuff, her watery eyes full of reluctance.

"Brother, you're leaving; Nannan doesn't want you to go."

The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, very moving, with a touch of childishness that easily touched hearts.

"Brother's going to some dangerous places; I can't bring you along."

Yang Zhu leaned over and flicked her cute jade nose with his fingertip, comforting her.

He knew that if little Nannan came along, things would be much easier, but if she did, Ye Fan's group would naturally follow, drawing too much attention.

"Be good, just stay by Older Brother's side; I'll come see you when I have time."

"All right then… Nannan, wait for Brother to come back."

Xiao Nannan was clearly a bit disappointed, yet she obediently nodded her head, slowly loosening her small hands that had been tightly gripping the corner of her clothes.

Yang Zhu rubbed that little head again, then entered the domain gate side by side with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi; the big black dog and Duan De followed closely behind, and after everyone had entered, the domain gate vanished where it stood.

"Ah, truly a case of seeing the head but not the tail of the divine dragon."

Ye Fan sighed, knowing that the place Yang Zhu went to must have considerable background; from the last time he spoke of entering the Holy Cliff, one could see a thing or two.

"Actually, I also wanted to go together; back when I entered the Holy Cliff with Yang Zhu, I could have obtained the Nine Secrets."

Li Heishui felt an itch in his heart; if it weren't for embarrassment, he really would have wanted to shamelessly tag along.

The Holy Cliff is terrifying and fearsome, yet because of Yang Zhu's influence, the group pressed deep inside, encountering almost no danger along the way; it could be said they broadened their horizons immensely.

Mount of Immortality, located in the northern part of the Eastern Wasteland, is one of the seven great forbidden zones of life, possessing endless terrifying legends; hearing of it makes everyone's face change color.

As an existence as mysterious as the Primordial Ancient Mine, just how long it has existed is hard to trace; it seems to have existed since the birth of the universe.

It is said that the darkness turmoil of that time was caused by the existence within, causing suffering to all beings in the universe; one can imagine how terrifying the things inside are.

A few days later, a domain gate opened outside Mount of Immortality, and Yang Zhu and his companions walked out from it.
