Yulan calendar, year 9990. July 23rd.
Early in the morning, the All-Heavens shop was packed with people.
"Dabo of the Radiant Church has come to congratulate you on the establishment of the All-Heavens shop!"
"Commander Nile of the Kingdom of Fenlai has come to congratulate you on the establishment of the All-Heavens shop!"
"The Kingdom of Aike congratulates you on the establishment of the All-Heavens shop!"
"The Kingdom of Xiluo congratulates you on the establishment of the All-Heavens shop!"
"The Kingdom of Tis congratulates you on the establishment of the All-Heavens shop!"
"The Dawson Conglomerate congratulates you on the establishment of the All-Heavens shop!"
…..
It wasn't just the Radiant Church and the imperial family of Fenlai who had come to congratulate him. The other kingdoms of the Alliance had all sent representatives as well.
Of course, there was no lack of major powers from the Alliance who had come as well, such as the three major trading unions.
"Master, there are so many people!"
Within the All-Heavens shop, Linley was by Chu Bei's side, staring at the endless stream of people who had come to congratulate him. His little face was a bit nervous. Clearly, this was his first time experiencing such a large crowd.
Fortunately, Hillman and the other residents of Wushan township were there to help greet them. Otherwise, it probably would have been a complete mess.
[The Spacetime Wheel has been activated. The host is about to enter training.]
Before Chu Bei could go up and greet these people of the Alliance, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
"Here it comes again."
Hearing the system's voice, Chu Bei frowned.
As soon as he let out a resigned sigh, the Spacetime Wheel appeared, and a powerful gravitational force that even he found hard to resist instantly pulled him into the Spacetime Wheel.
In the final moments before leaving, he heard Linley's frantic calls, asking him where he was going.
This wasn't his first time entering the Spacetime Wheel. The amount of energy contained within the Spacetime Wheel was simply too terrifying. Even though he was at the peak of the 16th rank, he still felt his heart tremble.
If the Spacetime Wheel were to be classified as a weapon, it would most likely be on the same level as an Immortal Emperor weapon. In fact, it might even be superior!
…..
Rumble! Rumble!
What made Chu Bei rejoice was that he did not feel that the training time this time was too long.
When he finished his training and left the All-Heavens City, the All-Heavens shop was still the same.
It was just that in his memories before he went on the adventure, there was a sea of people, a boiling cauldron of voices, extremely lively. But in front of him, it was the complete opposite, a lifeless atmosphere.
.
Rumble!
In the northern region of the All-Heavens Shop, buildings were collapsing one after another, filling the air with dust and sand.
It was clear that there were people fighting and killing each other there.
Chu Bei released his Divine Sense for the first time, and after perceiving what was happening in that area, his face instantly became gloomy.
At this moment, on the ruins to the north of the house, there were several figures fighting fiercely.
On one side, there were seven figures draped in black robes. Their appearances could not be distinguished.
The spiritual energy fluctuations coming from these seven people were exactly the same, as if they had cultivated the same cultivation method. Judging from their moves, they were obviously Warriors. Their auras had already reached Level 9.
Upon closer inspection, there was a similar pattern on the back of their black robes. It was a coiled blood-purple snake.
On the other side was a middle-aged man and two rats!
"How did the All Heavens shop offend the Purple Snake Organization for no reason?"
"One of the top four assassin organizations! Perhaps it wasn't the all-heavens shop that offended the Purple Snake Organization. Instead, someone paid a high price to hire the Purple Snake Organization to destroy the all-heavens shop. "
"No matter what, the all-heavens shop is in danger!"
"Speaking of which, where did Linley go? Why hasn't there been any news of him in the past two days? It's as though he suddenly vanished from the face of the earth! "
"That's true. Linley's talent really is terrifying! He's only sixteen years old, but he's already a warrior of the ninth rank! In addition, after transforming into the Ancestral Dragon, he's able to fight evenly with ordinary Saints! "
"So what if he's powerful? Right now, the all-heavens shop is in danger, but we don't know where he is. If he doesn't come back soon, everyone in the all-heavens shop will probably die at the hands of those seven from the Purple Snake Organization. "
"Ten years ago, the all-heavens shop was established. But on the second day of its establishment, the owner of the all-heavens shop disappeared without a trace, becoming the biggest joke of the all-heavens shop. If one day he comes back and sees the ruins, what will he think? "
…..
More and more people were gathering around the ruins. Seeing the intense battle, they all sighed incessantly. Some were sympathetic, some were gloating, and some were indifferent, just watching the show.
Rumble!
In the middle of the chaotic battlefield, a heaven-shaking explosion could be heard. Three figures smashed viciously onto the ground, and blood stained the ground.
"Uncle Hillman!"
Wharton was already twelve years old. He was no longer the toddler who couldn't even walk properly. He hurriedly ran forward, a look of worry on his face, but more than that, he was filled with hatred towards those seven figures.
"Young master, I'm fine."
Hillman wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. He stood up once more, staring coldly at the seven from the Purple Snake Organization.
In the past ten years, Hillman had trained in the [Nine Heavens Incantation] and become a combatant of the ninth rank.
Unlike humans, the Shadowmouse and the Stoneater Rat were still of the ninth rank, but they weren't too far away from breaking through to the Saint-level.
If they were up against an ordinary combatant of the ninth rank, the three of them might be able to fight. But these seven assassins in front of them all trained in the same technique, and their teamwork was flawless.
When the seven of them joined forces, they could even fight against a Saint-level combatant.
"You took their money, so you had to help them avoid disaster. You can only blame yourselves for being unlucky."
The seven assassins of the Purple Snake Organization stood in a row, their voices cold as ice. At the same time, they moved towards Hillman and the two rats of the ninth rank.
"Did Clayde ask you to attack?" Hillman's face was expressionless, his gaze cold.
"Clayde? What a familiar name! "
"That … that's the King's name!"
"What? These assassins were hired by his Majesty! "
"Impossible! Why would his Majesty attack the All-Heavens shop? "
"Shh! Don't make wild guesses if you aren't sure! "
….
Hearing the name Hillman had just uttered, the surrounding people were all stunned, and then their faces were filled with astonishment.
This was because the significance of the name Clayde in the Kingdom of Fenlai was simply too extraordinary. He was the Emperor of the Kingdom!
"Not revealing the information of our customers is a basic rule for assassins."
As these cold words came out, the seven assassins of the Purple Snake Organization glanced at each other, then simultaneously began to move.
Their movements were synchronized, and as they changed positions, they intertwined with each other, as though they were a single entity.
"Serpent Sword Dance!"
The seven assassins of the Purple Snake Organization shouted in unison, throwing out the longswords in their hands. With a 'clang' sound, the seven longswords overlapped, emanating a fierce aura.
A terrifying sword aura filled the air, creating a piercing sound as it sliced through the air. Their target was Hillman and the two rats of the ninth rank.
"What a powerful combination technique!"
"They really live up to their reputation as one of the four major assassin organizations!"
Staring at the fierce sword aura, the surrounding people all felt a strange chill run down their spines.
Bang!
But just as the sword aura was about to sweep past Hillman and the two rats of the ninth rank, a dazzling divine aura suddenly appeared.
The divine aura flashed past, first annihilating the seven longswords, then appearing in front of the seven assassins.
The pupils of the seven assassins contracted, but before they could even make a sound or react, they were pierced through by the divine aura.
When the dazzling divine light dissipated, the seven assassins disappeared along with it.
"What … what just happened …"
Seeing this sudden scene, the surrounding people were all stunned, instantly falling into a state of confusion.
They all stared blankly in front of them, speechless. Only after a long time did they recover from their stupor. They looked around, as though searching for something.
"Look! Someone appeared! "
"Who … who is he?!"
"Could it be that the light just now was his technique? Was he the one who killed the Seven Demons of the Purple Snake Organization? "
"He's Boss Chu!"
"The owner of the All-heavens Shop, who disappeared for ten years, has returned!"
…
Above the ruins, a young man appeared. His face was expressionless, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.
The surrounding people all stared straight at Chu Bei. At first, they were stunned, but when they recognized who he was, they all cried out in shock, their voices filled with astonishment.
"Boss, you … you're back …"
Looking at the figure that looked exactly the same as ten years ago, Hillman came back to his senses. His voice was trembling, and he was incomparably excited.
Those disciples of the All-heavens Shop who had been standing far away, under Hillman's beckoning, all ran towards Chu Bei and knelt down to pay their respects.
Of course, there were some disciples who had never seen Chu Bei before, and their faces were filled with apprehension.
"Boss Chu, Lord Hogg is dead. Young Master Linley is probably in a bad situation right now. Those seven assassins must have been sent by Clayde. Young Master Linley's disappearance for two days must have had something to do with Clayde. "Hillman's face was filled with anxiety.
"Ten years, huh."
Chu Bei murmured to himself, looking calmly at Hillman.
"Gatemaster, actually, young master Linley's mother didn't die because she had a difficult labor. That year, when the Madame was pregnant, because the medical conditions in Wushan township were too poor, Lord Hogg took the Madame to Fenlai City. But just as the Madame gave birth to Wharton, a group of mysterious people appeared and took the Madame away. Lord Hogg was outnumbered, and was only able to save Wharton. But according to what Lord Hogg said, at that time, he saw that one of the assassins had the mark of a red spider on his arm. "
After speaking to this point, Hillman took a deep breath, then continued, "Lord Hogg, as the successor to the Dragonblood Warrior clan of Baruch, chose to endure for the sake of preserving his clan's lineage. Until you appeared, established the All-heavens Shop, and took young master Linley as your disciple. Lord Hogg no longer had anything to worry about. The same day you left, he began to investigate this matter. Afterwards, following the trail of the red spider mark, Lord Hogg finally found the person behind the kidnapping of the Madame. "
"That year, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt was the younger brother of the current King of Fenlai, Clayde – Duke Patterson! But unfortunately, Lord Hogg's assassination attempt failed, and he was surrounded instead. Heavily injured, he came to me. Before dying, he repeatedly warned me that only after young master Linley broke through to the ninth rank would I tell him the truth. "
"Just half a month ago, young master Linley successfully broke through. When he learned that Lord Hogg had died, as well as the truth behind his mother's death, he immediately sought an opportunity to kill Duke Patterson. The next day, when he returned, he told me that the true mastermind behind the assassination attempt wasn't Duke Patterson, but rather the current King of Fenlai, Clayde! "
"Two days ago, young master Linley left without saying a word. But up until now, he still hasn't returned! If I'm not mistaken, the reason he left this time was to go find Clayde! "
After speaking, Hillman looked frantically at Chu Bei. "Boss, two days have passed, but young master Linley still hasn't returned. I'm afraid something has happened."
