"If they died in the hands of these people, then it wouldn't be the Xiao!" Shui Mochan seemed to suddenly think of something and said with a self-deprecating smile.
The strength of those assassins just now was very strong, but these people only caused her injuries and nothing more, they weren't able to kill her in one hit. And against the same level, or perhaps even more powerful [Akatsuki], these people's outcome wouldn't be any better.
From this point of view, the Heavenly Court should have already made a move against the Xiao, but they didn't get anything.
"This Heavenly Court has a big plan!" Ruan Shizhi scratched his head and said with a blurred expression.
At this moment, the situation in Immortal Mansion was crazily stirred up by this assassination organization that came out of nowhere.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 days had passed.
During this period of time, the assassinations of the Heavenly Court didn't stop. They were still constantly attacking the top geniuses, and the whole Immortal Mansion was stirred up by their madness.
The cultivators at the lower level were better, because the people of the Heavenly Court didn't care about them at all, which made them feel more at ease than those powerful geniuses.
However, the assassinations of the Heavenly Court were not unchanged. What was different from the beginning was that they also attacked the cultivators at the Yuanying stage!
It seemed that they would choose the strongest cultivators to attack. The stronger the cultivator, the more they were interested in them, and the more likely they were to become their assassination targets.
This practice made the reputation of this mysterious organization soar, and even overshadowed the previously insufferably arrogant terrorist organization, the Xiao, on some levels.
Moreover, what made everyone puzzled was that during the time when the Heavenly Court was wreaking havoc, the Akatsuki organization seemed to know nothing and completely disappeared. Basically, no one had seen their traces again. Some people guessed that it was because the people of the Akatsuki organization were afraid that the people of the Heavenly Court would assassinate them, so they hid. Some people also said that the Akatsuki organization had been destroyed by the Heavenly Court …
In the midst of the various opinions, the atmosphere in Immortal Mansion became particularly solemn, especially those powerful geniuses. After the initial pride, they all began to group up and no longer dared to act alone. They were extremely afraid of the pervasive assassinations of the Heavenly Court.
At the entrance of the nameless canyon.
The members of the Solitary Sword Sect were still guarding the entrance to the valley. They had already been there for nearly a month.
"Eldest Senior Brother, that Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi have been in the valley for so long, but there hasn't been any sound at all. Could they have died in there?" A young man asked cautiously.
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked into the valley.
To be honest, he didn't have absolute confidence. The valley was too quiet. It was so quiet that he felt that everything had returned to nothingness. It was time for him to harvest.
However, every time he had this thought, he would feel an inexplicable sense of panic, as if danger was approaching.
This intuition made Zhao Zheng give up the idea of entering the valley again and again. He was afraid, afraid that Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi were still alive. If either of them were still alive, then Zhao Zheng would be the one to die.
"There's no rush," Zhao Zheng finally said. "Let's wait a bit longer!"
Truth be told, he could tell that the surrounding Solitary Sword Sect disciples were getting impatient. After all, they were in the middle of an Immortal's mansion, and there were plenty of opportunities for them to search for. And yet, they were wasting so much time doing nothing. No one would be willing to do that.
Previously, Zhao Zheng had been able to rely on his status as the Eldest Senior Disciple to suppress them. He had even promised them many benefits. But now, a month had passed, and he knew that their patience was running out.
"We've already probed the valley many times," said another young man, unwilling to give up. "There shouldn't be any signs of life inside. That means Hayashikawa is most likely dead. This is the perfect time for us to make our move!"
Zhao Zheng was just about to say something when his face suddenly flickered. He looked out into the valley and saw an extremely powerful aura approaching. It was a strange and powerful sword energy that shot up into the sky. It seemed capable of cutting everything in its path apart.
"That's … what a powerful aura …."
"This sword energy …. Why does it feel like it's almost on par with the Sect Leader of the Solitary Sword Sect …."
"How is this possible …. With the strength of the Gold Core stage, he can actually emit the sword energy of a Nascent Soul Cultivator …. Just who is it …."
It wasn't just Zhao Zheng. All of the surrounding Solitary Sword Sect disciples could sense the terrifying sword energy.
Because everyone in the Solitary Sword Sect was a Sword Cultivator, they were extremely sensitive to such powerful sword energy. The person who had yet to reveal himself had a powerful aura that completely surpassed the limits of the Gold Core stage. Everyone, including Zhao Zheng, felt as if they were facing their own Sect Leader.
Zhao Zheng swallowed hard. He knew that this time, he wouldn't have the opportunity to enter the valley to collect Hayashikawa's legacy. The owner of the sword energy was heading straight for the valley. Although he wasn't moving very quickly, he could clearly sense that he was getting closer.
And for some reason, there was something familiar about the sword energy.
The white-robed young man slowly approached, a long sword strapped to his back. His features were handsome, and his eyes were calm. His entire person emanated an indescribably ethereal aura that seemed otherworldly and natural.
Just like that, he walked over step by step. Every step he took seemed like a casual step, but the distance he covered was completely incomparable to that of an ordinary person.
As the young man approached, Zhao Zheng's mouth opened wider and wider. A look of terror appeared on his face, and his knees buckled, and he dropped to his knees.
"Di …. disciple …. Solitary Sword Sect …." Zhao Zheng's voice trembled as he knelt on the ground. Before he could finish speaking, he saw the young man's clear eyes looking over at him. In that instant, he felt as if he were looking at a terrifyingly sharp sword. The sword energy seemed capable of piercing through the heavens, as if it were capable of ripping the Heavens apart.
"Screw off!"
The young man said casually, as if he was unwilling to say another word to the group of people in front of him. In fact, other than the glance he gave Zhao Zheng, his gaze did not land on these people again. Only the canyon, and only the thing there, attracted him the most.
When Zhao Zheng heard the word "screw off," he didn't think it was inappropriate. In fact, he was pleasantly surprised. Without any superfluous movements, he led the Solitary Sword Sect disciples away.
"I'm coming!" Murmured the young man. He took a step forward, heading in the direction of the pool of water.
