Chapter 231: Assassinate Lu Xuan!

Ancient assassination organization, Heaven-Assassin Sect appears.

Its headquarters lies in a secluded valley; outside the secluded valley, endless black mist swirls, the outside world is daytime, but inside the secluded valley it is night; within the secluded valley lies an extremely winding, branching path, extremely gloomy.

Mysterious and obscure dao markings cover the cliff walls, extremely dim, having merged with this heaven and earth; in the valleys on both sides there are many caves, but they all conceal their aura, making it impossible to discern anything.

In the depths of the secluded valley stands an ancient hall; the hall is mottled, and on the stone pillars outside its gate hangs a couplet.

"Bury the heavens, bury the earth, bury all beings!"

"Kill people, kill demons, kill other races!"

On the plaque above the gate, four dao markings coalesce into ancient characters: "Kill kill kill kill!"

Above the hall, more than ten elders of the Heaven-Assassin Sect have gathered.

They saw an empty throne deep in the hall; although it appeared unoccupied, the leader of the Heaven-Assassin Sect was actually seated there, but his concealment technique was so heaven-defying that the elders present could not detect him.

A faint, ethereal voice emanated from within the throne.

"The Extinction Sect has contacted the Heaven-Assassin Sect, asking us to kill a few people from the Great Dao Sect; what do you think?"

An old man wearing a black bamboo hat, his body shrouded in black mist, his true form indiscernible, slowly spoke.

"My lord, we have accepted this mission. The Bronze Ancient Hall will not descend for a while, and our Heaven-Assassin Sect has not taken action for countless ages; perhaps our assassination skills have grown rusty! This is the perfect opportunity to practice!"

The other elders nodded in unison, their figures like ghosts, each feeling a hint of excitement.

"Nan Huang has gone who knows how long without hearing the name of our Heaven-Assassin Sect. It is time to let the myriad provinces of Nan Huang remember the fear of being ruled by our Heaven-Assassin Sect!"

The next moment.

Above the throne, a woman in a long dress materialized; her curves undulated, revealing charming scenery beneath her snow-white neck, and the corner of her mouth lifted in a mysterious smile.

This woman is the leader of the Heaven-Assassin Sect, Xiao Ke, who has successfully assassinated several Nine-Star Great Emperors.

She nodded slightly, her eyes deep and gloomy: "Very well, for the Heaven-Assassin Sect, the difficulty of practicing on a Great Dao Sect of this level is just right! Next, wait for my notice, then we will set out."

The many elders dispersed.

Half a day later.

The Extinction Sect sent word: "Lord Xiao Ke, will the Heaven-Assassin Sect accept this mission?"

Xiao Ke said: "We accept the assassination, but we will not take the job of extracting memory images using Azure Origin Stone."

They are assassins!

Seeking the perfect opportunity, they assassinate their enemies and then flee.

If they also had to extract memory images, they might miss the best chance to flee.

The Extinction Sect pressed: "The mission is indivisible! Are you accepting it or not?"

A moment of silence.

Xiao Ke said: "Accept."

"But we need extra pay!"

The voice of the Extinction Sect said: "All right, if you kill Ji Fuyao or the White Robe Great Emperor, we will add the power of a Nine-Star Emperor Stage being."

Xiao Ke's face showed a barely perceptible smile: "Deal."

……

Ghost Gloom Clan.

This is a boundless, pitch-black mountain ridge, extremely silent yet eerily permeating; within the mountains rise many ancient tombs, this heaven and earth is shrouded in endless mist, and within the mist vague mysterious humanoid creatures can be seen moving about.

These humanoid creatures are the Ghost Gloom Clan; their claws are like blades and ink, they have huge wings behind them, and their hideous, ferocious faces make one's blood run cold.

The Ghost Gloom Clan Ancestor has reached a deal with the Extinction Sect.

Half a day later.

Several High-Star Great Emperors of the Ghost Gloom Clan, their figures like ghosts, stepped out of this territory and headed straight for Ji Fuyao.

……

Demon Palace.

The Demon Palace is a branch of the Demon Court; now that the Bronze Ancient Hall is about to open, the Lord of the Demon Court has issued a decree, allowing the great demons of the Demon Palace to revive in advance.

"Boom!"

After several days of merging, a small world of the Demon Palace has completely fused into Nan Huang, now situated between the territories of several demon clans, forming a formation of stars surrounding and protecting.

A massive ancient stone hall rose from the ground, immensely imposing; the aura of the great demons was deep and vast like an abyss and sea, filled with the savage wilderness aura.

Before the ancient stone hall stands a group stone sculpture; the Lord of the Demon Court sits high upon the royal court, while human and other-race powerhouses kneel and prostrate, shouting the name of the Supreme Demon Lord.

At this moment, within the Demon Palace, a trial is underway.

The Golden Crow Clan Ancestor and the Fire Jiao Clan Ancestor kneel on the ground, facing the statue of the Lord of the Demon Court.

The Lord of the Demon Palace, the Red Snake Ancestor, his face grim beyond compare, his eyes like blades, swept over the two kneeling individuals, his voice icy: "As the supreme demon clan, we have never fawned before humanity; you two have utterly disgraced the demon lord!"

Around the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor and the Fire Jiao Clan Ancestor, other demon clan ancestors also looked at the two with contempt.

The Red Tongue Ancestor's countenance turned ferocious; in an instant he transformed into his true form—a terrifying three-headed giant snake, his body as thick as a small mountain, his scales flashing with a cold azure light, as tough as a divine weapon.

"Hiss!"

The three-headed giant snake suddenly lunged from the throne to the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor and the Fire Jiao Clan Ancestor; the left and right snake heads each sprayed a stream of poisonous mist, which shot directly into the two ancestors' bodies.

The faces of the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor and the Fire Jiao Clan Ancestor instantly turned green!

Once the poison entered their bodies, even though they were Nine-Star Emperor Realm cultivators, they could not endure it, and began to howl in agony.

The Red Snake Ancestor's eyes like blades: "You all kneel before the demon lord's statue and reflect for two months!"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Jiao Clan Ancestor and the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor immediately went to the demon lord's statue and knelt down.

The Red Snake Ancestor looked at the many demon clan great emperors and said coldly: "The White Robe Great Emperor has slaughtered too many of us; this grudge must be avenged! Recently the Extinction Sect has shown intent to cooperate and issued a bounty, so our Demon Palace has dispatched a Nine-Star Great Emperor to go kill Ji Fuyao and the White Robe Great Emperor!"

The voice fell silent!

Several figures stepped out from the crowd: "We are willing to go!"

Red Snake Old Ancestor nodded, 'Good! Before the Bronze Ancient Hall opens, we will kill these two!'

……

Great Dao Sect, Xuan Qing Feng.

Lu Xuan was having a meal with Chen Zhangsheng, Ye Chen, in front of the Cao Wu.

Chen Zhangsheng told Lu Xuan about the recent turmoil in Nan Huang.

Numerous ancient great powers have emerged, all preparing for the Bronze Ancient Hall!

The ancient supreme artifact, the Bronze Ancient Hall, hides a supreme opportunity within; those who once attained the Supreme Fruit Position all gained great opportunity from the Bronze Ancient Hall!

Chen Zhangsheng looked at Lu Xuan, 'Why not bring back Senior Sister? The Assassination Heaven's Vault has emerged; they might cooperate with the Extinction Sect.'

Lu Xuan said lightly, 'No problem. The branch hall of the Heavenly Net Hall is about to collapse; this can also be considered an ending.'

Ye Chen asked curiously, 'Third Junior Brother, what faction is the Assassination Heaven's Vault?'

Chen Zhangsheng's gaze was deep, and he said in a low voice, 'The Assassination Heaven's Vault is an ancient assassination organization, belonging to the Shadow Island, one of the dangerous lands of Nan Huang! Its members are a bunch of madmen; as long as they have sufficient payment, they can go assassinate Half-Step Supremes and Near-Dao Supremes!'

Ye Chen frowned slightly, 'Senior Sister must be careful!'

Lu Xuan smiled, 'I've been keeping an eye on the rising situation, it's fine.'

Chen Zhangsheng silently sighed.

Master, can't we be a bit more steady?

Half a day later.

Lu Xuan lay on the Mysterious Ice Bed, watching a storybook, when suddenly Chen Zhangsheng's voice came.

'Master, if I'm not mistaken, two Great Emperors of the Assassination Heaven's Vault are approaching our Xuan Qing Feng.'

Lu Xuan activated the Eye of Insight and probed the surroundings of Xuan Qing Feng.

Indeed, he saw two Nine-Star Great Emperors clad in black robes, their forms perfectly blending into this heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan said lightly, 'Just two Nine-Star Great Emperors.'

Now he possesses a Nine-Star Great Emperor Experience Card, allowing him to instantly kill a Half-Step Supreme!

Now the heavenly change has not been opened, and the Half-Step Supreme has not yet appeared.

No need to worry.

Moreover, doesn't Xuan Qing Feng have a formation?

Even if the formation cannot stop it, we still have Lao San.

It's not my turn to act.

Thinking of this,

Lu Xuan then changed his posture and lay down.

Chen Zhangsheng: '……'

At this moment,

A Great Emperor of the Assassination Heaven's Vault said, 'The Great Dao Sect has indeed declined; we have entered so easily.'

Another Great Emperor said, 'It's just a withered sect; the mighty have waned, like a river flowing downstream, difficult to restore its former glory.'

The two sneaked toward Xuan Qing Feng, saying, 'After entering Xuan Qing Feng, do not rush to attack. Wait for the perfect moment, behead the White-Robed Great Emperor, Ye Chen and Chen Zhangsheng! As for Lu Xuan, let him live or die on his own; killing him would tarnish my title of God of Assassination.'

Moments later, the two stepped into Xuan Qing Feng.

They saw a wooden sign with a hint from the formation written on it.

'Xuan Qing Feng is a place of great importance, entry forbidden without permission. —Lu Xuan left.'
