All the assassins in black in Heavenly Mandate City acted at the same time. Who was behind this?
But for Long Yu, the most important thing was to ensure that no one was killed in this assassination!
"No matter who is behind this … I swear I will not let any one of you go!"
A strong murderous intent surged in Long Yu's eyes. His figure flickered and instantly hundreds of ancient shadows appeared, teleporting in all directions!
And Long Yu himself activated the Mark of Nine Serenities in his Dantian at this moment, mobilizing the power of the entire Realm of Nine Serenities to enhance his detection ability!
Balanced control … expansion!
One hundred miles!
Two hundred miles!
Three hundred miles!
With the addition of the power of the Realm of the Nine Serenities, the range of Long Yu's detection rapidly expanded until it covered the entire Heavenly Mandate City.
Everything that was happening in Heavenly Mandate City was seen by Long Yu. There were three hundred and twenty-one assassins in black, all of them in the Emperor Realm or Great Emperor Realm. Among them, three hundred were in the middle and late stages of the Emperor Realm, and the other twenty-one were in the early and middle stages of the Emperor Realm.
These 300 assassins in black were originally hiding in the Heavenly Mandate City, waiting for an opportunity to strike. When they heard the rhythmic sound of thunder, they instantly acted at the same time, killing everyone in the Heavenly Mandate City who was related to Long Yu.
Since Long Yu had already detected the whereabouts of all the assassins in black, it would not be so easy for them to succeed.
"Divine Script of the Void … Teleportation!"
All the ancient shadows conjured by Long Yu teleported in an instant and appeared in various parts of the Heavenly Mandate City, finding the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Mandate City who had been assassinated!
Almost all the assassins in black were stunned at this moment. They did not expect that just when they were about to kill their targets to complete their mission, an unfathomable black figure would appear …
This black figure was the Desolate Ancient Shadow that Long Yu had condensed!
However, the black figure was pure darkness, and outsiders could not see what it looked like at all. Moreover, as soon as these shadows appeared, they immediately attacked the assassins in black.
As for the method of attack, they all used the same ultimate technique, the Space Severing Strike!
At this moment, within the entire Heavenly Mandate City, a terrifying aura of space-breaking divine characters erupted, almost sweeping the entire sky above the city!
That intimidating aura shocked all the martial cultivators of the Jianghu and the city guards who were fighting with the resurrected souls.
"Space Shattering Strike … Kill!"
Long Yu floated up, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. Although he did not personally take action, he had achieved an extremely shocking effect by overseeing the situation.
Almost in an instant, all 321 black-clothed assassins were killed by the terrifying attack of the black figure before they could even make a move.
In a breath's time, all the black-clothed assassins were killed by the Space Splitting Strike!
Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng were fighting a mid emperor realm awakened beast together when two early emperor realm assassins in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tried to kill them in an instant.
Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng were shocked. They didn't know these two black-robed cultivators, so why were they attacking them?
But as soon as the thought flashed through their minds, they were already prepared to attack, not giving the two any chance to do so.
But at this moment, two black figures suddenly teleported into the sky above the four of them. Then, the aura of space-breaking divine characters exploded out!
Following that, the two assassins in black seemed to have no ability to resist at all. They each spat out a mouthful of blood, and their eyes revealed a look of disbelief …
What kind of Martial Skill could actually penetrate their bodies and attack their vital parts?
In that instant, the two assassins felt as if a sharp blade had pierced into their bodies and shredded their dantian. Even as early emperor realm cultivators, they had no chance to resist.
"Didn't they say that this operation was safe …"
The two assassins fell to the ground one after the other, their eyes wide open in death!
The other three hundred and nineteen assassins in black had suffered the same fate as these two assassins in black. All of them had died in an instant, and the cause of their deaths was the same. Their Dantians had been destroyed by an unknown force, causing their inner world to explode, and they had lost their lives!
The lord of Heavenly Mandate City, Gu Yixian, was now an early emperor realm cultivator.
But just a moment ago, he was ambushed by three Mid-emperor assassins. Gu Yixian was in the middle of dealing with the two awakened souls of the late emperor realm, so he almost couldn't react in time.
Fortunately, Gu Yixian himself was strong. Although he was only an early emperor realm cultivator, his true strength was definitely at the level of a Mid-emperor!
Three Mid-emperor assassins working together failed to kill Gu Yixian. Then, three blurry black figures appeared out of nowhere and exploded with the power of space-breaking divine characters. In an instant, the three assassins in black died, their dantian completely destroyed!
Gu Yixian was just about to counterattack when he encountered this scene, and he couldn't help being stunned.
He wanted to take a closer look at the three black figures that he couldn't see clearly. However, the three black figures quickly dissipated like smoke and dust …
Because Long Yu had condensed three hundred and twenty-one shadows in one go, each shadow only had enough power for a single attack. After that one attack, the energy would be exhausted and they would dissipate.
Such a situation was occurring throughout the entire Heavenly Mandate City!
The sudden assassination of the assassins in black was followed by the sudden appearance of the strange black figures, and then all of them dissipating …
"Who's helping us? Could it be Long Yu? "
Gu Yixian looked at the place where the three Desolate Ancient Shadows disappeared. He pondered for a moment and felt that it was similar to Long Yu's Desolate Ancient Shadows.
But the problem was, Long Yu shouldn't be here, right?
And even if it was Long Yu, he shouldn't be able to summon the shadows to help him so quickly, right?
Most importantly, the three assassins were Mid-emperor realm. Since when did Long Yu's ancient shadows reach the level where they could kill such powerhouses in a single attack?
"But if it's not Long Yu, then who is it?"
Gu Yixian's brows knitted tightly together …
Just like Gu Yixian, the other members of the City Lord's Office who had been assassinated in the Heavenly Mandate City were mostly Long Yu's friends on Heavenly Mandate Island. They were all King and Emperor Realm martial arts cultivators, and they governed the entire Heavenly Mandate City together with Gu Yixian.
When the assassination happened, Gu Yixian immediately summoned everyone back to the City Lord's Office to discuss countermeasures, mainly to prevent the next wave of assassinations.
Since there was a round of assassination, there might be a second round. Fortunately, the Dark Moon Calamity had only just begun, and the situation wasn't that urgent. Summoning three hundred people back wouldn't result in any serious consequences.
"Everyone is back. Tell me what just happened, and your speculations."
Under Gu Yixian's summons, all the City Lord's Office members who had been assassinated, including Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng.
Qiao Ziying and Nanmen Yingxia were the first to arrive, because they were the closest to the City Lord's Office.
Their experience was similar to Gu Yixian's, but they were each assassinated by a Late-stage Emperor Realm assassin, obviously because they were only in the Middle-stage Emperor Realm.
Simple speculation showed that this assassination was planned long ago to target all the people in the City Lord's Office. Otherwise, it was impossible to assign people one level higher than the members of the City Lord's Office to assassinate them.
"Just now, I used my power of deduction and tried to divine it, but I couldn't get any results. I don't know who launched the assassination or who saved us later on."
Gu Yixian said with a slight frown.
"In that case, the martial arts of both sides are much higher than City Lord Gu's."
Hong Yue, the mature woman on the side, pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not wrong, this matter must have something to do with Long Yu! Although we haven't seen Long Yu for a long time, I don't think our Heavenly Mandate City would provoke an existence of this level other than Long Yu. "
Hong Yue was now the premier of the City Lord's Office with her Late-stage Emperor Realm cultivation. She was in charge of all the specific affairs in the city.
"Regardless, it's fortunate that we didn't suffer any losses this time. However, we must be careful in our next actions. I will arrange for a team of Emperor Realm City Guards to patrol the city and only target the suspicious characters."
The commander of the City Guards, Chihuo, a Late-stage Emperor Realm cultivator, said solemnly.
Chihuo and Man Xin were respectively the commander and deputy commander of the City Guards. Although they were only Late-stage Emperor Realm cultivators, their true strength allowed them to fight against an Early-stage Emperor Realm cultivator. They could even hold their ground against a Middle-stage Emperor Realm cultivator for a while.
Chi Huo had already fused with the Heavenly Fire True Spirit, becoming the source of his inner world. Man Xin, on the other hand, had obtained the inheritance of the Stormy Demon Saber. Now that he and the Stormy Demon Saber had reached the Soul Fuse level, the power he could unleash from the Stormy Demon Saber had become even stronger.
Furthermore, Man Xin had also unlocked another layer of seal on the Stormy Demonic Saber, turning it into a top-grade ancient rank Combat Weapon. To Man Xin, this could be said to be a great transformation.
"That's right. Arrange enough people to ensure that everyone is safe."
Gu Yixian nodded and swept his gaze across the crowd. He looked at the injured members and ordered, "Those who are injured, take care of yourselves first. We will have to rely on Miss Liao's pills if we want to survive the Dark Moon Cataclysm."
Liao Lele nodded, then took out some healing pills and distributed them to the injured.
