Bright red blood gurgled out of the wound on her left shoulder. Feeling the sharp pain, Ink Cicada's face was very ugly.
She never thought that someone would dare to sneak attack her at the Thunder Lake. If she hadn't reacted quickly, her head would have fallen to the ground.
Looking at the shadow that had disappeared into the Thunder Peak, Ink Cicada clenched her teeth but didn't pursue! In her current state, she could only defend. If she chased, she would only be killed again. At that time, she might not be so lucky.
Just as Ink Cicada was about to check the injury, there was a fluctuation of spiritual power not far away. Looking up, she saw Ruan Shizhi's right arm being cut by a shadow. Blood immediately spurted out and splashed in the sky.
However, that shadow only had one chance to attack. Ruan Shizhi directly operated his wind attribute spiritual power in the next moment, and with a flash of blue light, he chased after the shadow.
However, what Ink Cicada didn't expect was that Ruan Shizhi's figure quickly appeared and suddenly stopped. She watched as the shadow quickly disappeared from the Thunder Peak.
Without thinking much, Ink Cicada quickly took out a precious medicinal pill from her storage ring and swallowed it. The medicinal pill melted in her mouth and turned into a warm current, rushing toward the wound on her left shoulder.
"What was that just now?" Ruan Shizhi frowned. With a flash of blue light, he directly arrived ten meters in front of Ink Cicada. Frowning, the shyness on his face disappeared, leaving only a stern expression.
"Someone is assassinating us!" Ink Cicada said with certainty.
Although she didn't know who the opponent was, in that situation just now, if she hadn't forcibly used her immortal energy to resist the terrifying attack, she was very sure that the enemy would have cut off her head without hesitation. This wasn't a test, this was a real assassination.
"Why would I be assassinated? I don't have any enemies in the South Ming Continent! "Ruan Shizhi's frown deepened.
His previous whereabouts were very low-key. No one knew him at all. The only time he showed up was in the Sutra Pavilion. At that time, he saw the Blue Dragon of the Akatsuki. He was really itching to attack, but this didn't seem to have anything to do with assassination!
Although the Akatsuki was also good at assassination, those people just now were definitely not the Akatsuki. Moreover, Ink Cicada and the Akatsuki had a good relationship. They wouldn't kill her at this time.
"Why didn't you chase after him just now? With your speed, it shouldn't be difficult for you to catch up to that shadow! "Ink Cicada asked doubtfully.
"Someone has locked onto me with their aura. I don't dare to act rashly!" Ruan Shizhi explained.
Both of them fell into silence. They were thinking about who would assassinate them at this time. This kind of powerful assassination method was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess. Who was it?
Time passed, and the two of them used their own methods to recover from their injuries. After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, their injuries were more or less healed. Glancing at the lightning lake, the two of them no longer had any intention to continue cultivating. Thus, they turned around and walked down the mountain together.
This wasn't because their relationship was that good, but because of the assassination attempt just now, the two of them had a common enemy. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The two of them were in a similar situation now, not to mention that their opponent was very strong. To some extent, it was indeed safer for the two of them to walk together.
Just as the two of them were about to reach the mountainside, more than a hundred disciples of Dayin Tower suddenly appeared and rushed towards the mountaintop. After seeing Ink Cicada's figure, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Miss Shui, we couldn't contact you with Dayin Tower's token. We were about to go to the mountaintop to find you! Something big happened in Immortal Mansion! "The leader immediately said after arriving beside Ink Cicada.
Ink Cicada frowned slightly. Her Dayin Tower's token had already been given to Blue Dragon of Xiao as a keepsake. These people really couldn't contact her. "What's the big matter? Speak!"
The people of Dayin Tower didn't care about Ruan Shizhi who was standing at the side. It seemed that this matter wasn't confidential at all. They directly spoke.
"The geniuses of Immortal Mansion suffered a large-scale assassination attempt. Among the four great sects, Luo River Sect's Luo Yuxi was seriously injured. Tian Yan Sect's chief disciple Yan Yangqiu died. Blood Spirit Sect's Blood Spirit Gongzi once again had one of his Blood Fiend Spirit Bodies destroyed. Golden-sun Sect's chief disciple Qin Luo was with Lin Long and the others from Lin Family. These people are very strong, so they were only injured and didn't have any major problems."
"In addition, each of the eight great families had an heir who died. Lin Family's Hundred Spirit Child Lin Shen has already died. Zhao Family's Zhao Li has also fallen …"
As the Dayin Tower's disciples reported, Ink Cicada and Ruan Shizhi's expressions became more and more unsightly. This was no longer targeted at a certain force, but the entire Fire Country, and even the entire Southern Ming Continent.
"Do you know who's behind this?" Ink Cicada asked with a gloomy face.
"It's not clear yet, but it's certain that it's an organization called Heavenly Court. These people are very strong. They only attack once in every assassination attempt. Whether they succeed or not, they will immediately retreat. However, their success rate is terrifyingly high. Almost no one can completely stop their attacks. And so far, no one has caught any evidence of this organization, let alone the assassins!"
"Now, it's interesting!" Ruan Shizhi pursed his lips and muttered to himself.
"Dayin Tower has already used a secret method to send the news outside Immortal Mansion. Tower Master Jia Wenhe ordered us to ensure Miss Shui's safety. Now the whole Immortal Mansion is in a state of panic. I hope Miss Shui can act with us to prevent …"
Before the disciple finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ink Cicada.
"Rely on you? I'm afraid I'll die faster! "Ink Cicada said coldly," Just now on the top of the mountain, I was assassinated! "
Everyone gasped and looked at Ink Cicada in shock. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
They didn't expect Ink Cicada's identity to be so important. When they heard that Dayin Tower's Tower Master Jia Wenhe personally ordered them to protect Ink Cicada's safety, everyone was shocked.
If Ink Cicada was really assassinated by Heavenly Court this time, then they, who escorted Ink Cicada to Thunder Peak but didn't protect her, probably wouldn't be able to live.
"By the way, do you have any recent information about the Xiao? Or have they been assassinated? "Ink Cicada suddenly asked.
"The Xiao has also been killing people recently, but we can't find out the specific situation, let alone whether they have been assassinated or not! But from the current situation, every time the Heavenly Court assassinates a genius, they will release the news through their own channels. So far, no news of the Xiao being assassinated has been released! "
