Changes in Yunwu Tavern
In the past few months, many interesting things had happened in Dongxuan.
The most popular one was that Dongfang Luxian was turned into a stone statue by the current sect master of the Cloud Rising Sect, Ning Beixuan, and placed it at the entrance of the sect for people to 'admire'!
Young Lord Gu, who was ranked first on the Earth Roll, died in Ning Beixuan's hands.
Ning Beixuan had only cultivated for a few years, and he was already a Martial Saint when he was only twenty years old!
Every piece of news was like a deep water bomb, causing one's heart to tremble.
Jiuzhou Empire, Cloud Mist Tower.
"The Dongfang family hasn't made any moves recently?"
A customer asked curiously.
"Not for the time being. However, I heard that the Dongfang family's men have begun to retreat from the Eastern Divine Kingdom. I think there will be a big battle soon!"
"Even such a powerful three star Dou Di like Dongfang Lu Xian was suppressed. The Dongfang clan originally had three Dou Di. Now, only two remain. Do they really dare to start a war with the Cloud Rising Sect?"
"Hehe, have you forgotten that the Dongfang Clan has the support of the Three Great Dragon Clans? Although the Dongfang Clan is usually reluctant to talk about this, it is the truth. If the Three Great Dragon Clans were to take action, the Cloud Rising Clan would be destroyed!"
"That is true. Compared to a Dou Di and a Dragon Emperor, the former is stronger and more brutal."
Just as the group of diners were sharing the information they had obtained from various sources, a thunderous boom suddenly rang out from Cloud Mist Restaurant!
Many people suddenly remembered the legend of the past. They hurriedly ran downstairs to the entrance of the Misty Cloud Restaurant and looked at the signboard. At this time, more and more people had gathered. The leaders of the Black Jail Sect, the Wu Imperial Palace, the Mu Imperial Palace, and the various big powers in the capital all had their expressions change greatly after hearing the loud noise.
In the Imperial Palace, a middle-aged man's eyes moved slightly. The stone room he was in suddenly exploded. Then, this middle-aged man turned into a bolt of lightning and appeared in front of the Cloud Mist Tower.
The owner of the Cloud Mist Tower, a disciple of the Ding Clan, Ding Ling, who rarely showed herself, stood at the entrance with an excited expression. The words "Cloud Mist Tower" on the signboard above her head gradually transformed into a hazy golden light. The golden light continuously changed. After a whole two hours, the first brand new golden word appeared.
It was the word 'Ning'!
"Ning?"
"The person the Book of Life and Death wants to kill this time is a guy surnamed Ning?"
"Who is it?"
"Could it be … Cloud Rising Clan Leader Ning Beixuan?"
"Hiss …"
The passersby gasped.
"There are a few words that haven't appeared yet. I can't be sure that it's Ning Beixuan!"
Someone frowned.
"Um, I'm just passing by. Is the legendary Book of Life and Death this plaque?"
Someone asked weakly.
"I'm a local from the capital, but today is the first time I've seen the Book of Life and Death. It should be this plaque!"
An old man said excitedly.
The middle-aged man from the Imperial Palace quietly disappeared after seeing the first word. The Black Jail Sect's Top Grade Constable Yang Ben, Head Constable Ye Mingyu, King Wu, King Mu, and the other nobles did not notice the middle-aged man's existence. After seeing the word "Ning", they fell into deep thought.
"Ning … could it really be him?"
Ding Ling stood there with a solemn expression.
According to past experiences, it would take a whole month for the full name on the Book of Life and Death to appear. Therefore, it was still unknown whose life and death would be decided by the Book of Life and Death!
"If it's really Ning Qi, the heavens must be watching us!"
Duan Juntian and his brothers stood at the end of the street as they looked at the Cloud Mist Tower's plaque excitedly.
Many of them who hated Ning Qi or had a grudge against him were looking forward to it!
At the same time, a few figures quietly left the capital and headed toward the Cloud Rising Sect. They were Cloud Rising Sect's disciples who were out on a mission and happened to witness the change in the Cloud Mist Tower.
…
Vermilion Bird Empire.
Fire Phoenix City.
White Emperor Tower.
At this moment, the White Emperor Tower's Tower Master, three Gold-token Assassins, thirteen Silver-token Assassins, thirty-six Bronze-token Assassins, and hundreds of Bronze-token Assassins were gathered in front of the White Emperor Tower's forbidden area. It was an altar led by the White Emperor Tower's Tower Master. Everyone was bowing as though they were waiting for someone on the altar to descend!
"Senior Sister, could it be that the legendary people from the headquarters are coming?"
Zhou Luning whispered to Wuma Feng Ling through Voice Transmission.
"Don't speak."
Wuma Feng Ling frowned slightly and berated her through Voice Transmission.
"It's fine if you don't want to speak. I'd like to see if the assassins from the headquarters have three heads and six arms."
Zhou Luning pouted aggrievedly.
Ever since they failed to assassinate Ning Qi, Wuma Feng Ling and Zhou Luning changed their target. They accepted many missions in Eastern Mystic Land, including one to assassinate the Heaven and Earth Pavilion's prodigies. They completed all of them successfully and finally earned the title of Bronze Assassins. Moreover, the two women were the strongest among the hundreds of Bronze-token Assassins. They were known as the Bronze Kings.
Suddenly, a ball of distorted blue light appeared on the altar. The blue light gradually grew from the size of a fist to the size of a basketball. It grew bigger and bigger.
All the assassins held their breaths nervously as they stared at the altar with their mouths agape. Apart from the White Emperor Tower's Tower Master and the three Gold-token Assassins, most of the Bronze-token Assassins were nervous. It was their first time seeing people from the headquarters!
A hand reached out from the blue light. The hand was as thin as a stick, like a piece of human skin draped over the bones. There was no flesh or blood on it. The fingernails were as black as ink and three inches long. They shone with a cold light.
Zhou Luning, who had been nonchalant all this while, could not help but feel nervous when she saw the hand.
Then, a second hand reached out and pulled the blue light to the side. An old man who was only six feet tall and had a cold expression on his face like a monkey appeared on the altar.
"Greetings …"
The White Emperor Tower's Tower Master quickly went forward and cupped his fists. However, just as he spoke, he was shocked to see another arm reach out from the blue light. The second person to appear was a woman in her thirties. She had a faint smile on her face that made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. Then, the third person appeared. It was a young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He stood tall and straight. He was nine feet tall and looked very handsome.
"T-Three people came? Is the headquarters' mission this scary? Are they planning to assassinate the three Dragon Emperors? "
The White Emperor Tower's Tower Master did not feel happy at all. Instead, his heart sank.
"Kaka, Shorty Zhou, we meet again."
The old man who had arrived first looked at the White Emperor Tower's Tower Master and laughed. The assassins' expressions immediately changed. Their Tower Master was nine feet tall, and the other party was just a skinny old man who was six feet tall. How could he be so rude to the old man?
"Senior Hou, you must be joking. May I know what mission this time is for the three of you to come together?"
