Chapter 911

He sat cross-legged atop Zhuofeng, savoring the many inherited secret arts.

The inherited secret arts he had acquired these days seemed too numerous; he should now properly enter seclusion, contemplate them, break through the realm, and reach the level of the ancient sages.

Yet as trees wish for stillness but wind refuses to cease, beneath Taixuan Sect, someone struck at Ye Fan.

It was an assassination.

"It's Jianjuran Society."

Ye Fan dodged the shadow's assassination; immediately, more sword lights surged through the void, but all were frozen by Fang Yu atop Zhuofeng. Fang Yu reached out with a giant hand, seized the assassins, and probed their memories.

Jianjuran Society had struck.

In ancient times, across this vast land, there were three primordial assassin divine dynasties—eternal and indestructible—that chilled even the great holy sects, having slain ancient sages themselves.

Tian Ting held the supreme assassin scepter, ruling all under heaven, its mere thought causing rivers of blood to flow a thousand li—like the supreme ancient heavenly court, dominating others' fates.

Jianjuran Society existed hidden among the masses, impossible to defend against; no one knew when their fatal strike would come, not even ancient sages could evade it.

Legend says that in Jianjuran Society's ancient hall, the heads of young kings-to-be piled into a tower of white bones.

Diyu spawned a host of fallen gods, wielding blood-dripping divine swords, slaughtering every sage in the world—terribly fearsome.

It is said that in Diyu lie the divine skins, flesh, and bones of ancient sages slain through the ages—horrifying beyond words.

In past ages, Tian Ting was destroyed by a coalition of ancient holy sects, but Jianjuran Society and Diyu endured, though they became far more discreet in their actions.

"Who have we angered that Jianjuran Society would strike at us!"

Tu Fei felt deeply uneasy, a chill crawling down his neck.

"Someone must have paid. These people aren't truly reclusive—they leave traces, accepting commissions from holy sects. Clearly, someone doesn't want the Primordial Holy Body to rise so easily!"

"The three primordial assassin divine dynasties, though they entered the Dao through killing, don't kill without cause. Someone from an ancient lineage must have sought them out to hire assassins."

"Damn it, I can't tell which holy sect—pretending to celebrate your ascension as Zhang Sect, yet secretly striking from behind."

Pang Bo was furious, but powerless to act.

He didn't know who from which holy sect had struck, but in this age, only the most ancient lineages could possibly contact Jianjuran Society—this was truly intriguing.

"You younger generation, handle yourselves. As for the elders, I will deal with them."

Fang Yu's expression remained calm; his current physical strength was such that even if Jianjuran Society's assassins killed freely, they could not slay him—he remained utterly composed.

The unlucky ones were the young geniuses, who had barely risen, only to face the emergence of Jianjuran Society and Diyu—carelessness could mean death.

The core seeds of Jianjuran Society and Diyu were no weaker than ordinary holy sect experts, especially since they appeared and vanished without trace, making them hard to guard against.

Yet Fang Yu merely stirred his intent, summoning thousands of sword arrays that spun in midair and formed around Taixuan Sect's grounds.

He also forged fire crows from Shengya into a divine weapon to guard Taixuan Sect.

After completing all this, Fang Yu had no intention of leaving.

He truly needed to enter deep seclusion, break through to the realm of single Secret Realm, nine lives and nine deaths. As for Jianjuran Society—they were trash, ants. Let Ye Fan, Hua Yunfei, and others handle them.

"My body must remain in Shrouding Heaven Realm, but some things should return to Eternal Life Realm."

With a thought, Fang Yu's body sent the Chaos Tower, carrying two divine herbs and the Longwen Black Gold Cauldron of Yaoguang Sect, out of Shrouding Heaven Realm and back to Eternal Life Realm.
