While Gu Yixian and the others were in the City Lord's Mansion discussing the countermeasures, Long Yu had already begun to search for the culprit behind the scenes.
First, he found the place where the continuous, rhythmic sounds of thunder came from when the assassination began, and found that it was just an ordinary building. There were hundreds of these watchtowers in the Heavenly Mandate City. The watchtower that was guarding this one? One of the Mid-stage King Realm city guards in the watchtower had died.
When Long Yu arrived, he only saw this city guard. From the corpses in the watchtower, it seemed that someone else had come here and killed this city guard. Then, The sound of thunder from the watchtower was the signal for the assassins in black to begin their attack.
If it was before Long Yu stepped into the Emperor Realm, he would have no way to deal with this situation. But now that he was in the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm, he had a certain degree of understanding of the power of deduction!
Moreover, because of the Mark of Nine Serenities, he could borrow the power of the Realm of Nine Serenities for a short period of time to increase his power of deduction.
Things that ordinary people could not deduce, Long Yu might be able to deduce!
However, it was Long Yu's first time using his powers of deduction to capture the culprit behind the scenes. He hid himself and found a secluded corner in Heavenly Mandate City. Then, he began his deductions.
At this moment, there were only ten breaths of time left since the assassination began. The closer he was, the more likely it was that he could deduce the result!
"Realm of Nine Serenities … Deduction!"
Long Yu activated the Mark of Nine Serenities in his body and at the same time used his own power of deduction. Suddenly, the tyrannical power of the Realm of Nine Serenities gathered and increased Long Yu's power of deduction several times!
Long Yu was already in the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm. Now that his power of deduction was increased by three to five times, his power of deduction reached the level of the late-stage or even the peak of the Emperor Realm.
But this wasn't enough!
Long Yu found that when he wanted to use this level of deduction to deduce the real culprit behind this operation, he couldn't find any traces of the culprit.
"I've already grasped 15% of the Nine Nether Mark. Previously, I didn't push it to the limit … But now, since someone wants to touch my brothers and friends, how can I still hold back?"
Long Yu clenched his teeth, and the power of the Netherworld Divine Characters in his body completely enveloped the Netherworld Mark. He urged the Netherworld Mark to further absorb the energy from all over the Netherworld Realm, and then strengthen Long Yu's deduction ability.
Long Yu's deduction power increased by five times again!
As he continued to make deductions, a silhouette of a person finally appeared in Long Yu's mind, causing Long Yu's heart to skip a beat.
Although this person's face had yet to be revealed, and his entire figure was still hazy, Long Yu found that he was quite familiar with this figure.
Under normal circumstances, it would take a very long time for an ordinary person to deduce the opponent's information, and it might even be offset by the opponent's deduction ability.
But now, Long Yu used the Netherworld Mark to strengthen the deduction ability, directly suppressing the opponent's resistance, and immediately deduced the opponent's figure!
And because of Long Yu's keen perception, he directly guessed the opponent's possible identity.
"Lei Emperor's personal disciple … Zhi Bai!"
Endless murderous intent flashed in Long Yu's eyes. He didn't expect that the culprit behind this assassination would be Zhi Bai. This person had a conflict with Long Yu before, especially after Long Yu killed Ge Yuntian in the life-and-death duel, and the conflict between the two sides must have intensified.
Of course, Long Yu didn't take Zhi Bai seriously, and he didn't see Zhi Bai after that … However, he didn't expect that this Zhi Bai would be so vicious that he would hire assassins to assassinate Long Yu's friends in the Heavenly Mandate City!
If it weren't for Long Yu being in the Heavenly Mandate City and wanting to protect everyone, this assassination would probably cause the entire Heavenly Mandate City to suffer heavy losses!
Once more than half of the City Lord's Office of the Heavenly Mandate City was lost, the power of the entire Heavenly Mandate City could be said to be passively weakened. In that case, it would be even more difficult to fight against the Dark Moon Catastrophe.
"Deduce Zhi Bai's current position!"
Long Yu followed the figure that he deduced, but he didn't try to deduce the exact appearance of the other party, but directly turned to deduce the other party's position.
It was conceivable that Zhi Bai, who had reached the peak of the Imperial Realm, must be resisting Long Yu's power of deduction. However, he didn't expect that Long Yu had already determined his identity by deducing his figure, and then immediately began to deduce his position!
Zhi Bai was caught off guard and couldn't guard against Long Yu's change of direction of deduction. His current position was directly exposed to Long Yu.
"The Holy City of the Five Emperors is heading towards the Sacred Tower!"
Long Yu immediately saw Zhi Bai's current position, and the murderous intent in his heart spread. Even if this guy was hiding in the Holy City of the Five Emperors, so what?
As long as the other party didn't have time to step into the Sacred Tower, Long Yu could instantly kill him!
"The Space Tunnel … has appeared!"
After Long Yu deduced Zhi Bai's current position, with a thought, he created a special Space Tunnel in front of him. This Space Tunnel led directly to the Holy City of the Five Emperors, which was also where Zhi Bai was now!
This was Long Yu's greatest skill after mastering the Mark of the Nine Serenities. As long as he was in the Nine Serenities Realm, he could teleport faster than anyone else!
It should be noted that the Space Tunnel he created could allow him to travel thousands of miles in an instant. Even from one end of the Shen Wu World to the other end, it was only a step's distance.
Long Yu stepped into the Space Tunnel. This step crossed thousands of miles, allowing him to step into the center of the Holy City of the Five Emperors!
The scene in front of Long Yu suddenly changed, from the Heavenly Mandate City to the Holy City of the Five Emperors.
Long Yu was quite familiar with the Holy City of the Five Emperors. After the Dark Moon Cataclysm, the overall atmosphere in the Holy City of the Five Emperors had become as solemn as the Heavenly Mandate City. The Alliance of Five Emperors and the cultivators of various forces were guarding the Holy City of the Five Emperors, fighting against the constantly reviving Ancient Souls of the Dead.
The third direct disciple of Lei Emperor, Zhi Bai, seemed to have just teleported back to the Sacred Tower. He wanted to leave the Sacred Tower, but he felt that someone had deduced the result, so he wanted to go back to the Sacred Tower to hide.
After all, Zhi Bai didn't know who was deducing him. He only knew that his whereabouts and position had been exposed, so the best way was to hide in the Sacred Tower.
The Sacred Tower was built by the Loushan Clan, a force from beyond the heavens. It was indestructible, and hiding in it could be said to be 100% safe. Unfortunately, he didn't have this opportunity.
Long Yu crossed thousands of miles with one step and appeared directly in front of Zhi Bai. He still looked like a middle-aged man. For Zhi Bai, this appearance was extremely unfamiliar, and the aura of Long Yu was also something he had never seen before.
"What do you want?"
Zhi Bai's face darkened. He found that the person who appeared in front of him was only in the middle stage of the Emperor Realm. This made him feel a little relieved. Even if they fought, the other party would not be a match for him.
However, before Zhi Bai could react, two sharp blades seemed to have appeared in his body, directly destroying his Dantian and meridians.
"Air Splitting Kill! Minor Accomplishment! "
After the massacre in the Heavenly Mandate City, Long Yu's Air Splitting Kill had finally been upgraded to the minor accomplishment realm. Its power and speed had doubled, and its killing ability was even more terrifying!
"Duankong Sacred Spring … Kill!"
A blue stream of water quietly condensed into a sharp blade and appeared in Zhi Bai's body, cutting his Dantian and meridians into pieces!
Of course, as a cultivator at the peak of the Emperor Realm and a personal disciple of Lei Emperor, Zhi Bai would not be killed so easily. But then, Long Yu raised his hand and displayed the third-grade Divine Formation, Nine Abyss.
Nine pitch-black cracks, before Zhi Bai could react, came crashing down on Zhi Bai!
"Violent Thunder Net!"
Zhi Bai raised his hand and shouted. Violent thunder divine characters rumbled all over his body, like the roar of the heavens, forming a lightning net, blocking the nine pitch-black cracks!
This was a royal magic that he had mastered, and it was also his strongest defense. Any power of the divine characters that came into contact with the Violent Thunder Net would be devoured!
With regards to this move, Zhi Bai was very confident!
"How dare you break into the Holy City of the Five Emperors and attack me, a personal disciple of Lei Emperor. You're dead!"
Zhi Bai's eyes were filled with joy. He only needed to block this move, then the other cultivators in the Holy City of the Five Emperors would arrive soon. One had to know that this was the Holy City of the Five Emperors!
As a personal disciple of Lei Emperor, he was actually attacked in the Holy City of the Five Emperors. Once the nearby cultivators sensed it, they would definitely come to help him. The person in front of him would definitely not be able to escape!
"Although I don't know if there is anyone else behind you, since I have deduced that it is you, then you shall die!"
The middle-aged man that Long Yu had transformed into had a gloomy expression. As he spoke, the nine pitch-black cracks instantly spread to the other party's Violent Thunder Net.
The Divine Matrix Nine Abyss was a third-grade divine matrix. It was like nine chains stretching out from hell, instantly suppressing the Violent Thunder Net.
The evil aura exploded, and the power of the Nine Levels of Hell came crashing down. The Thunder Net could only block one of the pitch-black cracks, and then it was completely shattered, losing any defensive ability!
Under the remaining Thunder Net, the remaining eight pitch-black cracks arrived in an instant. Before Zhi Bai could react, he was directly smashed into pieces!
Zhi Bai still had a look of disbelief on his face. He did not believe that he would die just like that. The key was that he died in such a mysterious way!
Who was the one who killed him?
He did not know!
Why did the other party want to kill him?
Was it him that was deduced?
Could it be that this person was an ally of the Heavenly Mandate City?
Moreover, the power that this person displayed was so eerie and strange. Could it be related to Long Yu who had disappeared for a long time …
No matter what, Zhi Bai could not understand these questions. Because when the Divine Matrix Nine Abyss descended on him, his life had been completely cut off!
However, at this moment, several shouts came from all around.
"Thief, stop!"
"How dare you!"
