On the top of the blue clouds, a faint cloud curtain floats in the mid-air, blocking many of the moonlight and stars.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
At a certain moment, in the sky above Qingyun City, two figures rushed towards the place one after another, and both stopped.
One of them was wearing a dark blue tight-fitting black dress, with a blood-red cape embroidered with nine-headed ferocious beasts embroidered with spiritual silkworm black thread on his back.
Around his waist was a scarlet and white jade belt as wide as the palm of his hand. The lifelike eyes of a ferocious beast at the buckle were actually a living thing!
That's right, this person is the number one killer of the Assassin's League: Dire!
A year ago, he accepted the task assigned by Tanya to the Assassin League and personally assassinated Chen Shen.
However, he finally underestimated the young man's strength that day and tried to kill the opponent with 80% of the power of the "Quick Wind Breaking Sky Arrow".
But in the end, Chen Shen's Yang Finger weakened most of his power, and the force that finally hit his chest was no longer enough to kill him.
According to Night Dire's rules, whenever he assassinates a target whose cultivation level is one star or more lower than his own, as long as the attack fails, the target will be allowed to live for one more year, and he will come back to take his head next year!
At this moment, the answer is ready to come out as to why this angry young man is here...
"It's strange...where are the Chenshen people?"
Nightmare frowned slightly and murmured to himself: "A year ago, there were many disciples and elders in Qingyun City. Why is it now like a dead city, with even the breath of a cultivator difficult to find?"
"Hey, I told you that kid ran away, but you still don't believe it."
The person who speaks out has a voice as slow and gentle as water, and a graceful demeanor as graceful as a butterfly.
On the brocade robe made of silkworm silk, the snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns complements the mutton-fat jade hairpin on his head that ties up his long hair -
He is one of the "Three Sects, Seven Sects and One Jedi", and the one with the greatest hope of winning the position of Young Star Master among the Formation Star Sect: Ming Yan.
By chance, Ming Yan got acquainted with Night Dire. From then on, he had no intention of competing for the honor of the young master of the Star Gate. He followed Night Dire all the time, just to find an opportunity to fight to the death with him, in order to gain understanding between life and death and take advantage of the situation to break through the Nine-Star Xuanzong.
, reaching the realm of Xuanzun that is astonishing to the heavens and the earth.
At this time, the rather delicate-looking man curled his lips impatiently: "We have been traveling all this way. In the huge Qingyun Sect, except for some handymen and outer disciples who have no status at all, there is not even a decent person."
Even the core disciples of the inner sect have not been seen."
"In my opinion, Chen Shen must have scared you away."
"Maybe now, that boy is leading a group of elites from the sect, changing his name and surname, and starting a new business somewhere in the cultivation world!"
Nightmare heard this and frowned slightly: "But I still remember the look in his eyes at that time... shouldn't he be such a weakling, right?"
"Tch~ maybe he's just faking it?"
As he spoke, Ming Yan always had a faint smile on his lips: "Or maybe that kid didn't know about your past perverted records at that time."
"For more than a year, he found out what the 'Ace Killer of the League of Assassins' really meant, so he ran away in fear."
Nightmare was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Oh, what a pity. I thought I found a good prey."
"But... I, Nightmare, have never failed in an assassination mission. You can escape from the monk, but you can't escape from the temple."
"If you let me find you in the future, you won't have to abide by the 'one-hit rule' I set myself!"
Listening to Night Dire's slightly sinister words to himself, Ming Yan urged: "For a mere six-star Xuanzong, what's the matter?"
"So what if he has some outstanding qualities? Leaving aside the three sects, seven sects and one Jedi, if you just pick any true disciple of the Tianjie sect who is famous on the Tianshu list, you can let him go ten blocks."
"If you really want to find something exciting, isn't there a ready-made candidate right in front of you?"
Nightmare squinted, glanced at Ming Yan, who had recommended himself, and said three words coldly: "Not interested."
After saying that, the black wings behind him shook and flew away immediately.
Ming Yan chased after him, thinking: "Hey, hey, you can't get rid of me!"
"When I wear out your patience, it will be the day when you and I will fight to the death."
"Whether I can break through to the Xuanzun realm before the eighteenth round depends on that battle!"
Eighteen rounds?
It turns out that this guy in the Nine-Star Xuanzong realm is still so young and has unlimited potential.
The super genius in the Three Sects, Seven Sects and One Jedi Realm is indeed well-deserved.
The vision of genius is always extremely critical.
The fact that Night Dire can be chosen as his only opponent shows his true strength.
At this time, Chen Shen, who was refining elixirs, making talismans, and honing mystical skills in Caitianyundi, did not know that he had been on the blacklist of Night Dire.
And with the end of the one-year period, Night Dire no longer has to rigidly follow the iron rules he set.
I wonder if Chen Shen can defeat the King of the Assassin Alliance who has no taboos and is fully equipped when they meet next time?
The next day, early morning.
Chen Shen, who had just finished refining a furnace of mysterious elixirs, was suddenly disturbed by a system prompt that rang in his ears——
"Ding! Since the spiritual stones provided by the host a year ago are about to be exhausted, the effect of Caitianyundi accommodating many fellow practitioners will end in an hour."
"Would you like to renew the subscription?"
"Huh? I spent nearly one billion kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones before, and it's only been a year, and they've all been used up?"
Chen Shen's spiritual thoughts moved secretly, looking at the last 100 million kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones left in the space package, he curled his lips helplessly: "This is all that's left. If we let nearly two thousand people practice together, it will continue."
It won’t be long.”
Thinking back to a year ago, Chen Shen was pregnant with four billion kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones. He threw a billion kilograms at first and used them all in the lottery. The result was only mediocre and not as good as expected.
Afterwards, this young man spent hundreds of millions of kilograms of spiritual stones to bring all the core elders and disciples of the Qingyun Sect into Caitianyundi for secluded cultivation.
The remaining two billion or so were all selflessly given to the elders and disciples by him to improve their cultivation.
After this year, the overall strength of Qingyun Sect can be said to have made a qualitative leap, but the price paid for this is billions of kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones——
This resource is probably beyond the reach of many earth-level sects that have been passed down for hundreds of generations...
"Okay, everyone, stop for a moment and listen to me."
At this time, Chen Shen Xuanyin raised his voice and raised his arms and shouted: "I have invested all my savings and countless high-grade spiritual stones into the top-secret holy realm, so that everyone can practice here with peace of mind."
"But now, the spiritual energy in the Holy Land is about to be exhausted."
"We must leave this place within two hours, otherwise, we will be involved in the turbulence of time and space."
Hearing this, almost all the disciples and elders showed gratitude, and even... fanatical respect for Chen Shen.
