Tang Yu removed the Heaven and Earth Lock.
Everything in the room remained the same.
There were no signs of damage except for the two Unity realm experts and Ku, one of the 12 Elders.
"It's too clean. It doesn't look like an assassination."
In order to prevent others from thinking of the Heaven and Earth Lock, Tang Yu swept out a gust of wind and messed up the spacious room. After Ku was killed by Nancy, his origin was destroyed, and the rest of his broken body was left there.
After thinking for a while, Tang Yu used the power of time that he could barely touch to erase the traces around him.
He created a scene of vendetta.
After all, it was common to hire assassins to assassinate the higher-ups of powerful forces.
Whether it would succeed or not, it was still up to him.
"Seems like I'm still missing something?"
Loud shouts could be heard from outside. Several powerful auras were approaching.
Tang Yu still felt like he had forgotten something important.
"It's a mark!"
"An assassin who didn't leave a mark isn't pure!"
He rummaged through his belongings. There didn't seem to be anything special on him. Suddenly, he found a limited edition playing cards in a corner of his spatial ring.
Ever since the Jubao Pavilion opened a few years ago, playing cards had become a popular entertainment product in the Mountain and Sea Realm, where the entertainment industry was lagging behind.
They were sold in White City and many other neutral cities.
Most of them were products that followed the trend and pirated products. Poker cards were not rare in the continent or the Endless Ocean.
Tang Yu took out a King of Spades card with a drawing of a king and flicked it.
The hard rune card embedded itself into the wall. The phantom of a person wearing a crown appeared on the surface of the card.
In the next moment.
Tang Yu stepped out of the isolated space, and his figure disappeared.
A few seconds later, a group of guards rushed into the hall, followed by a few God domain experts who were alerted by the commotion.
All they could see was the empty front hall and the messy room at the back.
There were still some remnants of the dissipated aura.
The few God domain experts' expressions flickered as they dashed into the room, only to see the remains of the corpse, which was so badly mangled that it couldn't even be seen clearly.
But they recognized it at a glance.
"Elder Ku, how is this possible?!"
Even God domain experts with high statuses couldn't hide their astonishment upon seeing this.
Elder-Class existences were the upper echelons of the Heavenly Alliance Chamber of Commerce's upper echelons.
Although Elder Ku's battle prowess was one of the weakest among the twelve elders, he was still an elder, and he was stronger than the God Domain experts present!
First, the Warlock of Many Treasures was captured, then Elder Ku was assassinated in his old nest …
"The Heavenly Alliance Chamber of Commerce is going to be in turmoil."
The stakes were too high. Several God Domain realm experts ordered the activation of the Formation and the lockdown of the Heavenly Alliance City.
However, they also knew that since the assassin could assassinate Elder Ku in such a short time without being discovered, sealing off the Heavenly Alliance City was probably useless.
But he still had to put on an act.
None of the God domain experts dared to destroy the scene, fearing that they would be held responsible.
Very soon,
The other three Venerated Elders in Heavenly Alliance City rushed over together.
"'Ku' is indeed dead. As for the other Unity realm experts in the alliance, not even a trace of them remains. The strength of the assassin is extremely strong. It should be a single strike that killed 'Ku' without giving him any chance to resist."
"Instant kill Ku? Even an invincible expert couldn't do it. Could it be a Saint? Which Sage did 'Ku' offend? "
"It could also be that the assassin carried some sort of special treasure that could seal off the aftermath of the battle."
The three Venerated Elders analyzed.
If it was only 'Ku' acting alone, and he was killed because he offended a Sage, the Venerated Elders wouldn't be too worried.
What they were worried about was the enemy of the Heavenly Alliance Merchant Association hiring an assassin.
Since the assassin could assassinate Elder Ku without anyone noticing, they were in a similarly dangerous situation.
"Investigate and see if we can find any information about the assassin!"
A God domain realm expert who knew a little about divination and a few Unity realm experts who were proficient in divination and Backtracking arrived at the scene.
They cast their arts together.
A formless energy enveloped the entire room and the hall outside.
A moment later.
The scene in the room changed, rewinding to the time before the incident.
Elder Ku's blurry figure sat on the main seat. Two peak Unity realm experts sat on either side of him.
At this moment.
An expert clad in black robes appeared outside the hall.
In an instant, the scene in Backtracking became distorted. The two Unity realm experts who were casting their arts vomited blood.
They were still trying their best to maintain the scene, but they couldn't make the scene in Backtracking clear.
About ten seconds later.
The scene finally became clear. The black-robed expert turned around. His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, meeting the gazes of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Alliance Merchant Association.
His figure disappeared without a trace.
Weng —
The scene in Backtracking calmed down.
The three Venerated Elders were clearly dissatisfied. "I want to see what exactly happened after the black-robed expert entered the room!"
Hence, the Unity realm experts who were proficient in Backtracking prepared the casting materials and busied themselves for a few days. Finally, the scene in Backtracking was no longer distorted. What appeared in front of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Alliance Merchant Association was a mosaic scene.
The three Venerated Elders: "..."
What's the point of having you!
"Elders, although the scene in Backtracking is not clear, it proves one thing." The Unity realm expert in charge of Backtracking hurriedly said, "That black-robed expert is very likely a Sage.
A Sage is surrounded by laws. His every move is in harmony with heaven and earth. With our abilities, it is impossible for us to see his appearance clearly. Furthermore, that expert was wearing a black robe that covered his entire body. "
Several experts in charge of divination also suffered a backlash at this time. "We only divined a shattered space and a boundless sea of fire, which should be the manifestation of the laws. This is a saint-level existence with very high attainments in the laws."
"Yes, yes, Elder. That Saint-level existence might have had a grudge against Elder Ku in the past. Now that Elder Ku is dead, there are no clues. It's not that we don't want to avenge Elder Ku, it's just that we have no other choice.
Actually, what he was implying was that since Elder Ku was already dead, why would they still provoke someone who was suspected to be a Saint-level being?
If they continued divining, they might attract the attention of that Sage. At that time, Elder Ku would not be the only unlucky one.
"However, Elders, we have divined a crucial clue."
The God Domain realm expert who knew a little about divination walked around Elder Ku's corpse. He arrived at the corner of the wall and pulled out an unremarkable poker card.
"This poker card that represents the 'King of Spades' was left behind by that black-robed expert."
One of the elders frowned. He felt that things were not so simple.
"What is a poker card?"
The God Domain realm expert who knew a little about divination explained, "Poker cards are a kind of entertainment item sold by the Jubao Pavilion. There are 54 cards in a deck of poker cards, 52 of which are real cards, and the other two cards, Joker and Joker, are side cards … Poker cards are very popular now. Elder, you actually don't know?"
The God Domain realm expert blabbered on and on. At the end, his gaze made the elder feel as though he came from a remote village.
It was very uncomfortable.
What made the elder even more uncomfortable was that the other two elders clearly knew what poker cards were. The other Unity realm and God Domain realm experts present also had some understanding of poker cards. Only he knew nothing.
He did not even know how it could be called popular!
The elder was furious and his aura was intimidating.
The God Domain realm expert who knew a little about divination suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Elder, I have a limited edition poker card here. I will give it to you."
The elder accepted it expressionlessly.
"In short, define this black-robed expert as the 'King of Spades' and pay close attention to any information related to the 'King of Spades'."
...
While the 'King of Spades' group was moving, another of Tang Yu's clones had arrived in the capital of the Dragon Yuan Empire.
It was a combination of him, Elaine, and Xingyue.
Tang Yu, who was wearing the World Ring, easily found the Mental Demon Clan's clone — a general of the Dragon Yuan Empire who held great power.
According to the investigation, this general's combat strength was not as strong as the Heaven Alliance Chamber of Commerce's elders. However, he had been assassinated by the Shadow Guild's Mo Ying and was severely injured. Therefore, this general was always protected by experts.
"One God Domain realm expert and twelve peak Unity realm experts."
Tang Yu, who was in his illusory state, thought.
The general himself was a God Domain realm expert. After being possessed by the Mental Demon Clan, his combat strength had increased slightly. The twelve peak Unity realm experts stood in a formation and could pose a threat to a God Domain realm expert if they joined forces.
"This is a little troublesome. Therefore … let's fight head-on."
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave exploded in the general's residence.
In just a short moment, everything returned to normal.
The entire general's residence was in chaos. Experts tore through the sky and appeared in the sky above the general's residence.
The experts released their mental energy. With a sweep, they understood what had happened.
"General Dragonspine has fallen … Did anyone in the general's residence see the killer?"
The servants in the residence shook their heads.
They were at most ordinary Awakening realm experts. When the shockwave erupted, they were already scared silly. The Void Treading realm experts in the residence did not dare to go to the center of the battle to check it out.
A Unity realm steward of the general's residence said, "The general has God Domain Realm guards and a group of personal guards that are completely made up of peak Unity realm experts. Moreover, when the ripples of the battle appeared, some Unity realm experts from the residence rushed over, but …"
That Unity realm expert had a lingering fear. He had deliberately slowed down his pace.
"The Unity realm experts who went to provide support are all dead. No one knows what happened. The killer is simply lawless!"
The Dragon Yuan Empire had used similar tracking and investigation methods as the Heaven Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
However, they had found nothing.
The difference was that the upper echelons of the Dragon Yuan Empire were 90% sure that it was the killer. It was not the first time that General Dragonspine had been assassinated.
"However, the killer this time was a little rash. It does not match the style of the Dark Shadow Guild."
"The killer is so rash. Are they not afraid of being exposed and surrounded by us? We have more than ten God Domain realm experts in the imperial capital. There is also a Sage realm old ancestor in hibernation. "
"However, we did not discover anything. This proves that the killer's assassination was still very successful."
"Eh? Look, this is a 'Queen of Hearts' poker card left behind by the killer. "
The God Realm expert flipped the limited-edition poker card between his fingers. "A new assassin organization has appeared. The assassins are very good at anti-tracking and anti-divination. I think we should start with General Dragonspine's enemies and investigate who hired the assassins of the Poker Association."
…
The two teams of assassinating the God Domain realm experts were very successful.
On one hand, it was due to the fact that very few experts were involved in the Law of Space. On the other hand, one team had the Heaven and Earth Lock and the other team had the Ice Chime. They could instantly kill a God Domain realm expert and suppress the spread of the battle waves.
It was only when General Dragonspine's trusted God Domain realm expert self-detonated that the battle waves could not be completely suppressed.
Although winning recklessly felt good for a while, Tang Yu felt that he was not a reckless person.
But Tang Yu didn't think he was a reckless person. He was brave and resourceful.
The other three teams' assassination of the Unity realm clones went much more smoothly.
It was a real assassination.
The Unity realm experts of the Mental Demon Clan were far inferior to the God Domain realm experts. The security at their location was not as tight. Moreover, Gray Blade, Fanny, and Kong were able to destroy the source of the Unity realm expert in an instant. There was not even a corpse left. All that was left were traces of the assassination and a poker card left at the scene.
…
On the first day, ten clones of the Mental Demon Clan were assassinated.
On the second day, the people of the Mental Demon Clan began to use their authority to think of ways to protect themselves. However, they were still killed by them. After all, the one with the highest status was only at the God Domain realm. Without a suitable reason, they did not have the qualifications to ask other God Domain realm experts to protect them.
It was worth mentioning that.
Tang Yu thought that his assassination would cause a stir in the continent. In the end, it was still calm.
Some of the forces that were originally in a state of friction and crossfire seemed to be easing up.
At first, he was still suspicious. After the investigation by the intelligence department, they discovered that there was no news of a certain expert being assassinated or dying.
"In the top forces, God Domain realm experts are also the pillars. The death of every God Domain realm expert is a huge blow to the force. It is very likely that the force will be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the surrounding forces. Therefore, the various forces have a tacit understanding to conceal the death of their experts."
He wanted to laugh.
The intelligence department could not find out anything even with all their efforts. Most of the top forces were not clear about this either.
It was common for a God Domain realm expert to not show up for a few years or even a few decades.
"The Cliff Heart Empire and the Alliance Army of the Eight Kingdoms shrank their forces on the same day. I'm afraid they are also confused."
Gray Blade's expression was even more confused.
He opened his mouth. "My Lord, there's something I don't know if I should say."
"What is it?"
"Some of the forces that we have assassinated are secretly looking for us …"
"Isn't that normal?"
Which force would be indifferent to the death of a senior member? The Heavenly Alliance Chamber of Commerce, which had a cold relationship with each other, would have to do their best on the surface.
"No …" Gray Blade paused, "The ones who are secretly looking for us are just the private actions of some of the higher-ups. Moreover, they aren't looking for us, but … they want to contact our 'Poker Association' and hire our assassins to assassinate their enemies and so on.
After all, our Poker Association can even kill a God Domain realm expert with one blow. In the eyes of those senior members, our business ability is beyond doubt. "
"So …" Gray Blade asked the question he wanted to ask the most, "My Lord, do we accept those jobs?"
