Chapter 377 - The Number One Target on the Assassination List!
Chapter 377: The Number One Target on the Assassination List!
Lin Xuan carried Xuan Zhu and the others forward and asked Mu Youqing to bring them.
Then, he slowly walked towards the four of them.
His footsteps were light, but every step made their hearts tremble.
It was as if they weren’t facing a person, but a mighty god from ancient times.
With every step, the ground shook.
“The North Mystic Heaven’s Consort is really unimaginably powerful!”
“No wonder the other party offered an unlimited reward. He alone is very worthy of this price!”
Shi Kai, the sect master of the Mystic Shadow Sect, trembled slightly as cold sweat trickled down his back.
When he sensed Lin Xuan approaching, his breathing became more and more hurried.
When he passed by the other three, Lin Xuan moved his finger and three lightning and fire lights flashed.
Hu Hu Hu ~
The lightning fire that gathered the might of burning the heavens was scorching to an unimaginable extent, and it instantly burned the three of them to ashes.
“What?!”
......Seeing this, Shi Kai suddenly trembled, and his entire body felt as cold as if he had been soaked in ice water.
At this moment, he finally realized that Lin Xuan’s ability was extraordinary.
Because Lin Xuan’s Lightning Fire Control Technique was a bona fide divine power!
In front of such an existence, no one was qualified to resist.
They could only submit!
They could only worship him!
Lin Xuan came in front of Shi Kai and looked down at him.
“Why are you here to assassinate me?”
The cultivation technique Shi Kai used was the Extreme Shadow Killing Technique. This cultivation technique was recorded in the Absolute Mystic Sutra.
Therefore, Lin Xuan saw through their background at a glance.
However, the Mystic Shadow Sect was an extremely ancient and mysterious assassin sect in the Cang Dragon Continent.
Ten thousand years ago, they had hidden themselves because they had assassinated a certain Saint and attracted the siege of many enemies.
Now that the Mystic Shadow Sect suddenly appeared and seemed to be targeting him and the children, this aroused Lin Xuan’s great interest.
Shi Kai saw a golden light flash in Lin Xuan’s eyes, as if he was reading his mind, and it made his scalp tingle.
He exclaimed to himself and hurriedly said truthfully,
“Consort, I received an assassination mission in the Dark Realm.”
“After discovering your tracks, I brought our three protectors to assassinate you!”
Dark Realm?
Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up.
It turned out that the Mystic Shadow Sect had been hiding in the Dark Realm of the Primordial Divine Mountain for ten thousand years.
Speaking of which, the Dark Realm was the territory of the assassin sects on the Primordial Divine Mountain.
Hidden there, the Mystic Shadow Sect could indeed avoid many enemies.
“Who issued the mission?” Lin Xuan asked.
Shi Kai shook his head. “The price the other party offered was very shocking, and the target was you and the empress’ family of six. Therefore, he concealed his identity and placed the mission on the assassination list through a middleman!”
“Interesting.” Lin Xuan smiled playfully.
According to the records of the Absolute Mystic Sutra, if someone wanted to issue an assassination mission in the Dark Realm without exposing themselves, they could issue the mission through a middleman.
The middleman was a very mysterious and powerful existence that was very prestigious in the Dark Realm.
Missions that went through the middleman were usually a very important missions.
Lin Xuan felt that it seemed necessary to make a trip to the Dark Realm.
The first purpose was to intimidate the entire Dark Realm and make all the assassin sects daren’t to make a move again.
Secondly, he wanted to find the person who issued the mission through the middleman.
Since they dared to attack his family of six, Lin Xuan wanted to let them know what it meant to be consigned to eternal damnation!
Then, he escorted Shi Kai onto the green-winged flying bird jade carriage. He used a mystic formation to protect the green-winged flying bird jade carriage and headed straight for the Dark Realm.
Primordial Divine Mountain’s Dark Realm.
As its name implied, this world was hidden in the sky somewhere north of the Primordial Divine Mountain.
There was spiritual mist around it, but it didn’t get any sunlight all year round. It was like a gloomy Black Sea.
Such a dark environment filled this place with a creepy atmosphere.
Just looking at its appearance from the outside, no one dared to approach.
However, after passing through the spiritual mist, they entered the territory of the Dark Realm. The environment was much brighter.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and removed the mystic formation around the green-winged flying bird jade carriage to reveal its true appearance.
He looked down and saw a huge valley below.
There was a circular flat ground in the valley. This was the Dark Realm Square that Shi Kai had mentioned.
On the square, there was a huge stone pillar that was a million feet tall.
This stone pillar went up from the bottom according to the difficulty of the mission.
It was divided into seven levels: orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, and red.
The highest level was red.
This was the iconic building of the entire Dark Realm.
Assassination List!
Lin Xuan saw that the names of Empress Mystic Ice and the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort were displayed in the red stone pillar on the highest level.
Mu Youqing was shocked.
She didn’t expect that someone would really list Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou as assassination targets.
She took a deep breath and looked at Shi Kai in disgust.
“How dare you guys attack my cousin-in-law and the others? Do you really think you can deal with them?”
Shi Kai sighed. “There will definitely be people emboldened by heavy rewards. The reward from the middleman is too tempting. It’s extremely tempting to us assassin sects.”
“Moreover, I believe that many sects want to become the number one sect in the Dark Realm. Therefore, targets like the Consort and the empress can also arouse the interest of many top sects.”
Mu Youqing sneered. “Do you trust this middleman that much?”
Shi Kai nodded. “The middleman is powerful and trustworthy. He has the Dark Realm’s trust. As long as anyone completes the mission, he will definitely appear!”
“Moreover, it’s rumored that the Assassination List was forged by him. Now, this list has become the pillar of faith for our Dark Realm!”
“Faith?” Lin Xuan revealed a disdainful expression. “Then I’ll trample on your dogsh*t faith!”
With that, he stood up and flew out of the jade carriage. With a wave of his right hand, he lifted Shi Kai into the air.
He had already thought of a way to lure out the middleman, so he would use Shi Kai to take the Dark Realm down a notch.
Shi Kai’s hair stood on end, and an ominous feeling quickly enveloped his entire body.
“Consort, please spare my life…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan lured out a Five-elemental Divine Thunder to wrap around him and threw him onto the Assassination List.
Bang!!!
Shi Kai slammed into the Assassination List with the Five-elemental Divine Thunder.
Instantly, lightning and fire shot into the sky, and the Dark Realm shook.
The Assassination List augmented by mystic energy couldn’t withstand the terrifying power of the Five-elemental Divine Thunder at all and was instantly shattered.
Rubble pierced through the air and the ground shook.
Before the lightning fire dust rocks that filled the sky dissipated, a bottomless pit was blasted where the Assassination List was.
…
Wind Yin Sect.
This sect was one of the five most powerful giants in the Dark Realm.
At this moment, in the sect hall.
Sect Master Yin Jinlong was gathered with the eight elders to discuss the assassination of Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou’s family.
First Elder Wu En stood up and said,
“Sect Master, I heard that someone has already left the Dark Realm to carry out the mission to assassinate Empress Mystic Ice and her family of six. I think we can take action now!”
Second Elder Xu Tai nodded.
“That’s right! This mission is a great opportunity that’s rarely seen. If we can succeed, Wind Yin Sect will really become the number one sect in the Dark Realm!”
The other six elders also expressed their opinions.
The general opinion was that wealth came from danger.
If their sect gave up this mission, they might regret it in the future.
Furthermore, they firmly believed that more sects would participate in this mission.
With the strength of the many sects in the Dark Realm, if they carried out assassination after assassination, there would definitely be a sect that could finally kill Empress Mystic Ice and her family.
Why couldn’t that sect be the Wind Yin Sect?
With this in mind, they felt that they couldn’t give up on this mission easily.
Yin Jinlong listened to the elders’ thoughts.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly slammed the chair and stood up.
“Alright, let’s give it a try!”
The Wind Yin Sect had been established for 1.4 million years and had as many as ten thousand assassination techniques and concealment techniques.
Yin Jinlong felt that since the other sects had been mobilized, his sect should give it a try.
And he had the same thought as the Wind Yin Sect.
The other four major sects of the Dark Realm and hundreds of major sects were also prepared to mobilize.
Just as they were about to leave the Dark Realm, a loud bang sounded from the Dark Realm Square.
Everyone focused their gazes on the square.
Lightning flashed and flames boiled.
This scene instantly caused a huge reaction from these sects.
“The Assassination List is filled with flames. Could it be that someone destroyed it?”
“Hiss! Not to mention our world, even in the entire Primordial Divine Mountain, no one dares to touch the list. Who is causing trouble there?”
“I have a strong feeling that the situation in the Dark Realm will change today!”
“Let’s go see who appeared there!”
…
In an instant, all the top powerhouses of the sects gathered at the Assassination List.
When they arrived, they looked up and saw an extremely luxurious jade carriage floating in the sky.
Beside the jade carriage, Lin Xuan was dressed in white and standing on lightning as he looked down.
Seeing the green-winged flying bird jade carriage and Lin Xuan’s insufferably elegant bearing,
many powerhouses present couldn’t help but narrow their eyes.
“The North Mystic Heaven’s Consort is here!”
