"Catch up on the ninth update!"
The Seven Kill League was able to survive in the Qingyu Region for more than a thousand years because they had a strict system.
No assassin was allowed to leak any information about the Seven Kill League!
Every assassin had a pill in their mouth that contained deadly poison. If they were captured alive, they would bite the pill and take the poison to kill themselves.
As a result, no one was able to obtain information about the Seven Kill League and no one knew where the headquarters of the Seven Kill League was.
This was the reason why the Seven Kill League was able to survive.
The assassin's suicide by taking poison was out of Ye Xing's expectations. Ye Xing sighed helplessly.
If he had known earlier, he would not have asked. Instead, he would have sealed the assassin's acupoints so that he could not move. Then, he would not have needed to ask. Ye Xing used his Eye of Clear Cloud and used his Mind Power to forcefully penetrate the assassin's mind to search for information.
Although this would destroy the assassin's mind and the information obtained would not be complete, it was still better than not getting anything at all.
Ye Xing moved the corpses of the four Perfected Persons together. Naturally, Ye Xing noticed that there were seven small blood-red swords on their sleeves.
"The four of them have seven small blood-red swords on their sleeves. This should be a clue. Perhaps it represents their identities!"
"The four of them each have a medium grade flying spiritual weapon. A medium grade flying spiritual weapon is worth at least 20,000 medium grade Star Crystals. None of the medium grade Perfected Persons from the Nine Upper Sects have a medium grade flying spiritual weapon. Could it be that the four of them are not martial artists from the True Xuan Domain?"
Ye Xing frowned slightly and was surprised.
The four Perfected Persons were most likely not martial artists from the True Xuan Domain. However, Ye Xing had never left the True Xuan Domain. Even when he left the Qingyun Region, he had only gone to the Nine Heavens City once.
There was no way that he could have offended martial artists from outside the True Xuan Domain.
"If they are martial artists from outside the True Xuan Domain, they might be assassins hired by someone to kill me!"
"That's right! The Five Star Perfected Persons said that they were more like assassins than us. It seems that they are indeed assassins. This makes sense! "
"Someone wants me dead, but they don't dare to openly go against Wu Yu. Therefore, they invited assassins from outside the True Xuan Region to kill me!"
"If I was killed, Wu Yu would only be able to find the assassins from other regions. Although Wu Yu has a very high position in the True Xuan Domain, he doesn't have much of a deterrent force in other regions. It would be difficult for him to find the real culprit behind my death."
"If someone hired an assassin to kill me, be it the Earth Fiend Sect or the Fire Cloud Sect, they are all suspects!"
Ye Xing's superbrain was powerful, and it worked very quickly. He thought about it carefully and figured out what had happened.
Ye Xing collected the four Enlightened Masters' mid-grade storage rings and mid-grade air-transportation spiritual tools. Then, he waved his hand, sending out starfire that enveloped the four corpses and set them ablaze.
Looking at the four burning corpses, Ye Xing's eyes narrowed and glowed. He murmured, "Hired assassins to take my life? One day, I will get to the bottom of this! No matter who the real culprit is, you are all dead! "
Soon, the four corpses turned into ashes. Ye Xing entered the starcrystal mine and met Gu Tianshang.
After Ye Xing destroyed the Dong Fu Sect, Hua Tianfeng and Lin Tongyu led some martial artists back to the Falling Star Sect. Gu Tianshang continued to guard the starcrystal mine.
Ye Xing told Gu Tianshang about the four Enlightened Masters he had just killed. He had already guessed their origins, and Gu Tianshang was shocked.
He couldn't believe that Ye Xing had just returned, and now, even a Five Star Enlightened Master had died in Ye Xing's hands.
Of course, Gu Tianshang was more worried about the origins of these assassins.
Gu Tianshang said, "I don't know about the outside world, but the True Xuan Domain doesn't have such a powerful assassin organization that could send four mid-grade Enlightened Masters to kill you.
Moreover, each of them has a mid-grade flying spiritual artifact. They must be martial artists from other regions. The Star Continent is very big, and there are many experts in the outside world. There are even Venerables and Kings.
Ye Xing, when you encounter something, you have to be cautious. When the star crystal lode was attacked, you didn't rush in recklessly. Instead, you calmly approached and ambushed those assassins. This is the function of being cautious. You have to be careful at all times. "
Ye Xing nodded and said, "I will. Elder Gu, how is the mining of the starcrystal mine going?"
Gu Tianshang said, "We are almost done. We have finished mining the low-grade astral crystals. We have a total of twenty-three million astral crystals. The middle-grade astral crystals should be finished in three to five days. We have a total of 2.1 million astral crystals."
Ye Xing said, "I will practice my archery in the next few days near the starcrystal mine. When the mining is finished, everyone will return to the sect. I will destroy this place so that no one will find out."
In the next few days, Gu Tianshang sped up the mining process, traveling day and night.
Outside the starcrystal mine was the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. There were many open areas, which were suitable for Ye Xing to practice his Exterminating Flame Archery.
Three days passed in a hurry.
When the mining of mid-grade starcrystal mine was finally finished, Ye Xing's Exterminating Flame Archery improved by leaps and bounds.
Ye Xing obtained five mid-grade storage rings from Yang Ba and the four assassins. The storage space of a mid-grade storage ring was about ten times larger than that of a low-grade storage ring.
No matter what grade of starcrystal it was, its volume was the same. A low-grade storage ring could store about two hundred thousand, while a mid-grade storage ring could store about two million.
Ye Xing had a total of seven mid-grade storage rings. One was the Falling Star Sect's Sect Master's ring, one was from Gu Feiyang, and the other five were from Yang Ba and the four assassins.
The millions of Medium Grade Star Crystals that Ye Xing had extracted were stored in the Medium Grade Storage Ring that he had used to store the Medium Grade Star Crystals. The other six Medium Grade Storage Rings contained 12 million Low Grade Star Crystals.
Ye Xing had a lot of low-grade storage rings, about a dozen of them. He organized his belongings into a few low-grade storage rings and put the rest of them into low-grade starcrystals, which added up to six million low-grade starcrystals.
There were still millions of low-grade starcrystals left, which could not be stored. They could only continue to be stored in the underground treasury of this stronghold. After all, there were formations protecting it.
Ye Xing set up a large number of self-destructing formations in the depths of the starcrystal mine, destroying the mine.
Then, led by Ye Xing, all the people in the stronghold returned to the Falling Stars Sect on the Silver-winged Demonic Condors and two Red Flame Flying Lions.
After Ye Xing rebuilt the sect, although Hua Tianfeng and Lin Tongyu led some cultivators back to the Falling Star Sect, there were very few of them. The place was very big, so it always seemed cold and cheerless.
Now that everyone in the starcrystal mine had returned, the place was livelier. However, it still could not be compared to before.
After returning to the sect, Ye Xing received another piece of good news. The group of Falling Star Sect disciples had already entered the Falling Star Nation and would reach the Falling Star Sect the next day.
The next day, Wu Mingyi led close to two hundred Falling Star Sect disciples to the Falling Star Sect. There were also two three-star Venerables from the Tianluo Sect.
Ye Xing opened the formation door and led everyone to the foot of the mountain to receive the group.
These disciples were the elites of the Falling Star Sect. Many of them were high-grade Martial Sages and would become Marquises in the future. If they were lucky, some of them might even become Venerables.
After sending the Falling Star Sect disciples to the sect, Xiang Hongye and Yang Tongzhi rested for a while before bidding farewell to Ye Xing. They had not returned to the sect yet.
Although they had been escorting the disciples of the Falling Star Sect for almost three months, the two of them were in a good mood. Firstly, they had improved their relationship with the Falling Star Sect. Secondly, they had traveled together with Wu Mingyi. They were both Enlightened Masters, so they had little to talk about with the disciples of the Falling Star Sect. Over time, they became friends.
The Tianluo Sect was a powerful force in the Qingyun District, but it was not worth mentioning in front of the Tiangang Sect. No one in the sect was related to the Tiangang Sect.
Now, Xiang Hongye and Yang Tongzhi had become friends with Wu Mingyi. This was great news for the Tianluo Sect and for themselves.
At least, their status in the Tianluo Sect would change greatly. Even four-star Venerables might not be as important as them. In the future, their words would have a lot of weight in the sect.
That night, Ye Xing and Wu Mingyi had a drink to thank Wu Mingyi for escorting them.
After thirty minutes of drinking, Ye Xing asked Wu Mingyi, "Brother Wu, there was a man wearing a black robe with seven blood-red swords embroidered on his sleeves. Do you know where he came from?"
Wu Mingyi was stunned. He asked in surprise, "Why do you ask, Lord Ye? Have you met him before? "
Ye Xing nodded and told Wu Mingyi about how he killed the four assassins.
Wu Mingyi sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Young Master Ye, this is incredible. This is big trouble. There are seven small blood-red swords on his sleeves. This is the symbol of the Seven Kill Alliance, an assassin organization in the Green Feather Region!"
Ye Xing raised his eyebrows. "Qingyu District's Seven Kill Alliance?"
Wu Mingyi nodded. "That's right. The Seven Kill Alliance is one of the top assassins in the One-star Forces. Any One-star Sect is wary of them. Most of the cultivators they've assassinated were Astral Realm cultivators. They've even assassinated half-step Honorable Realm experts!"
"So powerful?"
Ye Xing was stunned. This assassin organization was much more powerful than he had imagined.
Wu Mingyi said, "The Qingyu District is ruled by the Qingyu Empire. Even the Qingyu Empire wants to eliminate the Seven Kill Alliance, but the Seven Kill Alliance still exists. Of course, they are powerful. Even the imperial family of the Qingyu Empire was assassinated by the Seven Kill Alliance."
Although Ye Xing was surprised by the strength of the Seven Kill Alliance, he was not afraid. Soon, his expression returned to normal and he said indifferently, "They failed the first time and the assassins they sent were all killed. Will the assassination be stopped or will there be a second time?"
Wu Mingyi said, "The Seven Kill Alliance can survive for a long time because they are strong, secretive, and trustworthy. They will definitely complete the mission they accept.
Even if they fail the first time, there will be a second and third time. They will only give up if they fail all three times and return the reward to the customer.
Therefore, whether it is to avenge the assassins who failed the first time, to maintain the reputation of the Seven Kill Alliance, or for the success of their business, they will definitely do it again. "
