The president, grand elder, and the three middle-aged men behind them all shifted their gazes away from Jianchen. They stared in the direction of the battle.
"They're from the Underworld sect and the Yama Hall. I never thought that two of the three peak assassin organizations that have vanished from the continent for a thousand years would come," the grand elder said with a heavy voice. His face was rather sunken.
A gleam of light flickered through the president's eyes as he said, "Looks like the person who hired the Underworld sect and the Yama Hall must have paid quite the price to get them to send Saint Rulers at the same time. However, the Underworld sect and the Yama Hall suffered a heavy blow from the Bloodsword sect a thousand years ago. They were heavily injured and were almost wiped out. A thousand years isn't enough for them to recover much, so there's nothing to be afraid of. What I'm truly worried about is whether the Bloodsword sect has interfered. If they do, the situation will become rather severe."
The grand elder became rather stern when he heard the Bloodsword sect. He said, "Of the three peak assassin organizations on the continent, the Yama Hall and the Underworld sect are skilled at hiding their presence, making it very difficult for people to detect them. They can then use surprise attacks to instantly kill their targets. The people from the Bloodsword sect, on the other hand, use their unique Baleful Yin Qi to deal with their enemies. This Baleful Yin Qi is cultivated through slaughter and is extremely mysterious. It can fuse with space and pierce through everything. It can affect a person's mind when they catch them off guard, blurring their target's mind.
In some aspects, the Bloodsword sect and the Yama Hall are more like the Yama Hall. In some aspects, the Bloodsword sect and the Yama Hall are more like the Bloodsword sect. However, the only difference between them is that they can't hide themselves at all. The special nature of the Baleful Yin Qi makes it so that they'll be recognized with a single glance no matter where they go. As a result, they always choose to kill openly when they carry out missions. They're not as skilled at hiding their presence as the Yama Hall. However, the Bloodsword sect has vanished from the continent for a thousand years, so they shouldn't appear again. "
Jianchen could not help but think of uncle Xiu from Longevity Valley as he listened to the president and grand elder discuss the Bloodsword sect. He already knew that uncle Xiu was the sect master of the Bloodsword sect who had vanished for a thousand years. His strength was unfathomable.
At this moment, the battle in the distance gradually calmed down. Over a dozen figures rapidly approached from all directions, arriving on the street where Jianchen stood very soon.
The middle-aged man who had saved Jianchen earlier threw the corpse in his hand to the ground and emotionlessly said, "I killed someone!"
The middle-aged man silently made his way to the president's side. However, he looked at Jianchen's golden armor and a strange light appeared in his eyes. This was the first time he had seen a defensive treasure that could block an attack from a Saint Ruler without being damaged at all.
Afterward, the remaining people all returned. Out of the four Saint Ruler assassins, only the middle-aged man had managed to kill one of them. The other three had all fled.
The eight ancestors of the eight clans all looked at Jianchen as a strange light flickered in their eyes. One of them, an old man in fiery-red robes, said to Jianchen, "You must be little brother Yang Yutian. Brother Yang Yutian is completely unscathed from an attack from a Saint Ruler, which really does surprise me. Looking at it now, it seems like it's all thanks to the golden armor on him. May I ask what the armor on little brother Yang Yutian is for it to possess such great defense? This is the first time this Old Man has seen something like this."
"I obtained it by coincidence. I do not know the exact details of the armor," Jianchen said indifferently. He did not reveal too much information.
Just when the people of the eight clans wanted to ask more questions, the president's voice rang out, "Yang Yutian, it's your fortune to have obtained such a treasure. You're lucky to have it with you today, or you would have been in danger. Although I called someone to secretly protect you, I never thought that the two assassin organizations would send four Saint Rulers to attack you at the same time. You almost died to their hands. Alright, now that the matters here have been resolved, come back to the union with me."
The president did not pay any attention to the ancestors of the eight clans. He directly returned to the union with Jianchen and the heavily injured Yang Ling.
After they had left, the faces of the ancestors of the eight clans all became rather sunken.
"I never thought that Yang Yutian would actually have a defensive treasure on him, allowing him to remain unscathed after taking an attack from a Saint Ruler. It'll be extremely difficult for the people from the Underworld sect and the Yama's Hall to kill him with such a treasure," a middle-aged man said with a heavy voice.
"One of the four Saint Rulers sent by the Underworld sect and the Yama's Hall is dead and three are injured. With their personalities, they definitely won't just let the matter go. Let's tell them that Yang Yutian possesses a defensive treasure and let them think of something," the old man in red said with a deep voice. The old man in the fiery-red robe said in a flat tone, but there was a trace of greed hidden deep in his eyes.
"The Golden Silk Armor can actually block an attack from a Saint Ruler when worn by a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master. If I obtain such a treasure, wouldn't I become even more powerful?" The old man thought. The sliver of greed in the depths of his eyes became heavier and heavier.
"The Golden Silk Armor is just too tough. I've never heard of a treasure that can block attacks from Saint Rulers. I have to find a way to obtain it," Jian Chen sighed.
At this moment, the ancestors of the eight clans all thought the same thing, but they did not show it on their faces. The Golden Silk Armor had already tempted all of them.
Jianchen returned to the central union very quickly under the guidance of the president. He directly flew to the top floor of the castle.
"Yang Yutian, the assassins of the Yama Hall and the Underworld sect are most skilled at hiding themselves. Since they've set their sights on you, they definitely won't let you go with how they do things. At the same time, our central union is basically a public place, so we don't have too many requirements for the people who enter, so it's very easy for the assassins of the Yama Hall and the Underworld sect to sneak in. Against them, regular guards are useless. As a result, your current residence is no longer safe. It's best if you move to the fifth floor. The fifth floor is where the senior members of our Radiant Saint Master rest and enter seclusion. Without an elder's invitation, even core members can't enter," the grand elder said to Jianchen. His voice was filled with concern.
"Yes, grand elder!" Jianchen clasped his hands and returned. His face was filled with some respect. He did not really care about moving. He was confident that apart from Saint Rulers, the other assassins would not be able to threaten him at all. This was because not only did he possess the Chaotic Body that even Saint Rulers could not harm, making it impossible for Heaven Saint Masters to harm him, he also possessed the Body of Immunity to poison. Whether it was poison or assassination, it was useless against him.
"Yang Yutian, there just happens to be an empty room next to mine. You can live there. That way, if anything unexpected happens, I'll be able to arrive in time. Don't go out during this period of time. I'm sure the outside of the central union is filled with the spies of the Underworld sect and the Yama Hall," said the president.
Afterwards, Jianchen moved from the third floor to the fifth floor of the castle. The president and grand elder did not mention a single word about the Golden Silk Armor, allowing Jianchen to finally relax.
In the blink of an eye, there were only ten days left until the competition. During these days, Jianchen remained in his room and did not take a single step out of the central union. He lived a peaceful life. The White Tiger remained in a deep slumber during these days and did not wake up. However, Jianchen could clearly feel that the energy within the White Tiger's body was changing bit by bit.
On this day, Jianchen's expression changed slightly as he sat cross-legged on his bed comprehending a divine technique. His tightly shut eyes slowly opened and with a flip of his hand, an ancient jade pendant appeared in his hand. Immediately, a weak consciousness was transmitted from the jade pendant to the space between Jianchen's eyebrows.
Jianchen muttered to himself for a moment before accepting the jade pendant and walking out of his room. He walked a few meters and arrived at the president's room. As soon as he entered the room, he discovered a middle-aged man around forty years old sitting on a chair with a respectful expression. Sitting across from the middle-aged man was the president of the Radiant Saint Master Union.
"Yang Yutian greets master!" Jianchen bowed to the president.
The president gently put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Jianchen with a smile. He said, "Yang Yutian, this is your senior. His name is Yun Tian. He's been in seclusion for over ten years and only emerged yesterday. Why don't you greet your senior?"
Jianchen roughly studied Yun Tian before clasping his hands, "Yang Yutian greets senior Yun Tian!"
Yun Tian raised his head and glanced at Jianchen. He smiled warmly and said, "Is this master's new disciple? You've reached the 6th Class at such a young age. Not bad. You're much stronger than your senior in the past. Oh right, junior Yang Yutian, as soon as I emerged from seclusion yesterday, I heard that you had a defensive treasure that could block the attacks of Saint Rulers. I wonder if you can show me just what kind of treasure it is? "
"Senior Yuntian, I am truly sorry. This Golden Silk Soft Armor has never left my body and it is extremely difficult to take it off. I can only ask senior Yuntian to take a look at it another day." Jian Chen said with a smile.
"Since it's inconvenient, let's do it another day." Yun Tian smiled in an unconcerned manner. He paused slightly before continuing, "Junior Yang Yutian is truly blessed to be able to obtain such a treasure. However, if I were to obtain such a treasure, I definitely wouldn't wear it and would instead offer it to master. That's because only an expert like master can bring out the greatest effects of such a treasure. On one hand, it can increase master's strength, and on the other hand, it can repay master for his many years of guidance. Junior Yang Yutian, don't you think so?" Yun Tian smiled at Jianchen.
