How could Wang Daoyuan let go of such an opportunity? An illusory dragon claw materialized in his hand and clawed at the area of the courtyard where there were spirit energy fluctuations.
The assassin's escape technique was quite good. A black shadow flashed and instantly dodged Wang Daoyuan's attack.
But once he used his escape technique, his concealment technique was exposed.
This person's cultivation was at the early stage of Yuanying. His face was masked and he wore black tights.
Since he looked like a man, there was no need to keep him alive.
Wang Daoyuan had already grasped the Black Dragon Halberd in his hand and used the True Dragon Levitation Technique to chase after the assassin.
The assassin's escape technique's advantage was that it was relatively quiet and not fast. It was far inferior to the True Dragon Levitation Technique.
Wang Daoyuan came to the assassin's side and suddenly swung the halberd in his hand.
The assassin also took out a pitch-black longsword to block. Unfortunately, with a heavy weapon like the Black Dragon Halberd and Wang Daoyuan's physical strength, how could an assassin resist in close combat?
The two weapons clashed, producing a piercing sound.
The assassin's sword was unable to block, and the Black Dragon Halberd smashed into his chest.
Then, with a "crack" that sounded like a bone breaking, the assassin flew backward and crashed into the defensive formation.
Before he could recover, Wang Daoyuan had already closed in.
His left hand transformed into a giant dragon claw and grabbed the assassin.
The assassin struggled with all his might, but he was completely unable to shake off the dragon claw.
A moment later, the spirit energy fluctuations in his body disappeared.
He was abandoning his physical body and escaping with his Yuanying.
Wang Daoyuan was already prepared. The Black Tortoise Purgatory, which he had modified to capture his opponents alive, was extremely effective against Yuanying.
A black water ball with a diameter of six feet instantly appeared and enveloped the assassin's entire body.
The moment the Yuanying's head appeared, he realized that something was wrong.
He used a spell to attack the Black Tortoise Purgatory in an attempt to escape.
Unfortunately, his attack was still too weak.
The Black Tortoise Purgatory quickly shrunk and firmly trapped the Yuanying.
After that, he put the assassin's Yuanying and corpse into the space of the Spirit Pearl, and slowly burned the Yuanying with flames.
Wang Daoyuan's Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique was too shallow, so he did not dare to use it on Yuanying cultivators.
There were many other soul-searching techniques as well, but none of them were useful against Yuanying cultivators.
In any case, he didn't need to think too much to know that this person was sent by the Huang Family. There was no need to take the risk of searching his soul.
Although there was a lot of noise in the courtyard, the array had a soundproof effect, so it wouldn't spread out.
The only thing that happened was the assassin crashing into the defensive formation.
There were some traces of fighting in the courtyard, so he cast a spell to erase them.
Since the Huang Family had sent an assassin to kill him, they must have wanted to kill him in this city.
Since the assassination had failed, it was very likely that he would try something else.
It was better to clean up the traces first so that other evidence would not be caught.
Fifteen minutes later, the assassin's Yuanying was burned to ashes, and a huge amount of spiritual power was scattered into the space of the Spirit Pearl.
Naturally, there was no need to keep his body, but the equipment he was wearing was a low-grade fifth-level magic tool, which could somewhat avoid detection by divine sense.
After removing the equipment, he burned the corpse to ashes.
His harvest was not small. In addition to his equipment, he also obtained a black longsword of Lower Rank Five and a Universe Ring.
Doppelganger Blood Flame opened the Interspatial Ring to check the situation inside.
There were only a few thousand upper-grade spirit stones, a token, an inch-wide pearl, a dozen Nascent Cultivating Pills, and a few Nine Death Resurrection Pills.
There were no cultivation methods, spells, or anything like that.
This could only mean that this guy's cultivation technique and spell came from an assassin organization.
There were strange patterns carved on the token. On the front, there was a black dragon with blood-red eyes, and on the back, there were two words — Ghost Snake.
These words were the current common language of the Qixing Sea Xiuxian Community, unlike the words on Blood Shadow's token, which were from ancient times.
It could also be seen that this assassin organization did not have a long history.
The blood-eyed black dragon should be the symbol of this organization, and the Ghost Snake should be the code name of this assassin.
Wang Daoyuan couldn't tell what this bead Dharma artifact was.
He probed it with his divine sense, and there seemed to be runes and tool patterns inside.
After injecting spiritual power, there was a slight fluctuation in the defensive formation nearby.
As he got closer, the fluctuation in the defensive formation became more intense.
It seemed that this was the method the assassin used to enter the courtyard without breaking the formation.
The blacksmithing inheritance he obtained in the School of the Emperor Star of the Seven Stars Secret Realm mentioned this kind of magic tool, but it was extremely difficult to refine.
It required at least a fifth-level blacksmith to refine this kind of thing.
This magic tool was called the Formation Breaking Bead. If placed at the weak point of the formation, one could enter the formation without breaking it or causing a big commotion.
Of course, this required a deep understanding of the formation.
If one encountered a completely unfamiliar formation and could not find the weak point of the formation, the Formation Breaking Bead would be useless.
The small courtyard's defensive formation was set up when the Rare Treasure Island's market was established, and there was nothing special about it.
It had probably been figured out by these guys, so it was reasonable that it was broken by the Formation Breaking Bead.
After dealing with the assassin, Wang Daoyuan returned to the Earth Fire Room as if nothing had happened. He took out the alchemy furnace and began to refine pills.
He was going to refine a fourth-grade upper-grade pill, the Blood Essence Strengthening Pill.
The main purpose of this pill was to strengthen the physical body, and it was also a pill commonly consumed by Golden Core body-tempering cultivators in the Sea Of Seven Stars.
The ingredients were easy to find, and most of them were from demon beasts.
There were fewer ingredients for refining pills. As a Yuanying cultivator, Wang Daoyuan naturally had an easier time refining fourth-grade pills, and his speed was also very fast.
After half a day, it was time for the pills to fuse with the essence of the spiritual objects.
At that moment, someone gently touched the formation at the courtyard's door. This was a courtesy to inform the owner that someone had come to visit.
Wang Daoyuan used his divine sense to investigate and found a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator standing at the door.
One of them was wearing the uniform of the guards, so he should be from the guards.
More than a thousand feet behind him stood three early-stage Yuanying cultivators. Two of them were from the guards, and the last one was the Huang Family cultivator who came to threaten him earlier.
If Wang Daoyuan did not open the door for the guards, he might offend them.
In the Rare Treasure Island's market, the guards could not be offended.
He used his divine sense to control the formation and opened an opening at the courtyard's door to let them in.
Anyway, with his strength, these people would not be able to take his life.
The four of them entered the courtyard, and Wang Daoyuan said, "I'm in the middle of refining pills, and it's the critical moment of condensing the pills. Please wait for a moment, Daoyou."
The Huang Family cultivator said angrily, "Wu, do you have any respect for your seniors? Vice Commander Lin of the guards is here, and you don't even come out to welcome him."
Wang Daoyuan said with a smile, "I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I didn't know that Vice Commander Lin was here.
However, I'm at the critical moment of condensing the pills, and I can't be distracted. Please forgive me, Vice Commander Lin. "
Vice Commander Lin's temper was not bad, and he did not seem angry. "It's fine. It's rude of us to visit so suddenly. It's fine to wait for a while."
The Huang Family cultivator still did not let it go. "How dare you! You know Vice Commander Lin's identity, and you still dare to ask him to wait."
It was easy to deal with the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little ghosts.
Vice Commander Lin didn't say anything, but he began to shout.
Wang Daoyuan also scolded angrily, "Huang, do you have any respect for your seniors?
Vice Commander Lin is fine with it, and you're still not satisfied?
What, is your status higher than Vice Commander Lin? "
The Huang Family cultivator was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
The other two early-stage Yuanying guards also looked at him with gloating expressions.
Vice Commander Lin said, "It's best not to be disturbed while refining pills. Second Young Master Huang, please calm down."
Half a day later, the pill was condensed.
The formed pills fell into the pill furnace, and Wang Daoyuan condensed a few fire controlling patterns. All that was left was to nourish the pills.
He stood up and walked out of the courtyard, leading the four people into the room. He cupped his hands and asked, "May I know why Vice Commander Lin has come to my humble abode?"
