That night, Ye Qinghan mobilized the city guards to oversee the Genius Academy, then left the City Amongst the Clouds with Xue Wuheng and Xue Wu. There were many places that didn't have gates, or at least weren't connected to each other.
A small place like the City Amongst the Clouds didn't even have a long-distance Teleportation Array. The seven of them had pretty good cultivations, and their speed was extremely fast. They shuttled through the vast mountains and rivers, but they didn't know that their every move was being watched by someone else.
In the Holy City of the Snow Empire, the fourth prince had already learned that his first mission had failed, and that it had been ruined by a random brat.
"Since we've failed, we'll bury them all in the wilderness!"
The fourth prince's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and they were filled with haze. His soul-stealing eyes were frightening.
"Send an emissary from Hell. The price will be double the market price." The fourth prince said coldly. "I want Xue Wuheng, Xue Wu, and that bastard who ruined my plans to die without a burial place."
"Yes!"
A black figure left quietly. The temperature in the courtyard was enough to freeze a giant god to death. Only the cold plum blossoms were blooming.
…
Hell wasn't the reincarnation hell of the mortal world. It was the largest assassination organization, and it was on par with Heaven. There were eighteen emissaries in Hell, which meant that there were eighteen Paramount Gods!
Hell didn't just have eighteen emissaries. There was also the Lord of Hell, a peak Paramount God on par with Huang Peng. He had once fought alongside the Realm Lord, and even the Realm Lord of the Snow Empire had to give him some face and call him brother.
There were three emissaries under the Lord of Hell, and they were all peak Paramount Gods. They were ranked above the emissaries, and this was the full strength of Hell!
Heaven and Hell were on par with each other. The only difference was that Heaven's experts used the light element, while Hell's experts used the vicious darkness element. Heaven and Hell coexisted, and they were recognized by the Realm Lord. As long as they didn't assassinate the emperor of the empire or trample on the danger of the imperial family, killing the princes wasn't a big deal.
Both Hell and Heaven's headquarters were set up outside the Holy City, but the two High Lords weren't there. They had been missing for a long time, perhaps in search of the Realm Lord's dao.
A powerful emissary walked out of hell. He was ranked sixteenth among the emissaries, and his code name was Sixteen. He didn't even have a name.
Sixteen was wearing black clothes. He didn't even wear a mask. His face was emotionless as if he was dead. He took the territory entrance and headed to Northwest City.
The space gate traveled back in time, and the Milky Way hung upside down. The next morning, they arrived at the Northwest City. They were already very far away from the Saint City.
Great Emissary Number 16 received the news from the Message Talisman and rushed towards the southeast to welcome Ye Qinghan and the others.
The distance between the two sides was like a dozen or so large cities. It seemed that they might not meet, but if Xue Wuhen wanted to return to the Border Army barracks, he would have to pass through Single Gorge. This place was rugged and precipitous, and the cold air above sealed the unparalleled experts. Not even the Overgods dared to recklessly charge in.
The sixteenth great emissary's destination was the Single File Gorge. His speed was extremely fast, and he hoped to reach the Single File Gorge before Xue Wuhen.
…
Ye Qinghan and the others moved quickly, hoping to cross the Single File Gorge before the other side could react.
Along the way, the major divisions of hell sent experts to harass and interfere with the speed of Ye Qinghan and the others. They were extremely cautious along the way. From time to time, someone would use the Border Army's divine crossbows to shoot arrows. Even Xue Wuhen had to be careful. The power of those divine crossbows was too great.
"This is called the Realm Opening Crossbow. It's the most powerful divine crossbow in the Border Army. Only experts above the rank of centurion can be equipped with it. Take one, and as long as you inject spiritual essence into it, it will become an indestructible crossbow. Its range is three hundred li. As long as it pierces through its body, the giant god will be severely injured." Xue Wuhen and the others sat in a valley. The past few days of rushing had made him extremely tired. His trust in Ye Qinghan increased a bit, and he sent a powerful Realm Opening Crossbow to Ye Qinghan.
"This is a Moon-ranked Spiritual Stone. Put it in the energy slot and it can save you more than fifty percent of your strength. A Moon-ranked Spiritual Stone can support you to fire three thousand arrows in a row." Xue Wuhen immediately introduced.
The Moon-ranked Spiritual Stone was like the milky white moon. It radiated divine light and contained boundless spiritual essence. It was pure, vast, and priceless. This kind of thing had always been in the hands of the Paramount Gods. Some princes and special princes would have some.
Ye Qinghan held the Moon-ranked Spiritual Stone and took a deep breath. He put the Spiritual Stone into the energy slot and held the crossbow with both hands. His eyes were cold and fierce, like the eyes of a wolf, scanning the surroundings. The Realm Lord's spiritual sense silently traversed a thousand li and discovered that there were four or five peak Giant God experts with crossbows waiting for them eight hundred li ahead.
Of course, Ye Qinghan didn't say anything. Eight hundred kilometers was a short distance for a minor world, but for places like the Snowy Kingdom and the God World, the divine sense of a Paramount God could only detect living things within a range of two hundred and fifty kilometers. Beyond that, even a peak Paramount God would find nothing but a blurry image in their sea of consciousness!
"Let's continue forward." After resting for about an hour, Xue Wuhen said in a deep voice, "Xu Zilong, the four of you protect Xue Wu. Zuo Feng and I will walk in front."
Xu Zilong and the others had their backs to Xue Wu and formed a semicircle, protecting Xue Wu. They held the crossbows in their hands and carried the long spears and crossbows on their backs. They were protected by military armor and could use their lives to protect Xue Wu at any time.
Rustle rustle rustle!
The group moved quickly.
Ye Qinghan's eyes were like torches. He gently shook his bracelet and sensed the structure of the crossbow. He wanted to build an even stronger crossbow that could kill experts from five hundred li or even a thousand li away.
Eight hundred li was already beyond the range of their spiritual sense. However, their speed was very fast. After an incense stick's worth of time, they arrived. In front of them was a lush forest and a short mountain peak. The leaves above covered the sky and were luxuriant. Hundreds of people might not be able to find them if they hid there.
Just outside the mountain range, Ye Qinghan stopped and frowned. He whispered, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, Ye Qinghan raised the crossbow and locked his spiritual sense on an assassin.
Hua!
Divine power poured out, forming a sharp divine crossbow arrow. With one arrow, it pierced through countless withered branches and rotten leaves, destroying mountain rocks. It directly pierced through the body of an assassin, piercing through his head. The divine crossbow arrow crashed into a tall mountain, causing it to explode into pieces.
Puff — —
The remaining three people were swept away by the qi and blood. They fell from the branches and coughed up blood.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh — — —
The four Border Army soldiers and Xue Wuhen attacked at the same time. The crossbow arrows flew and directly pierced through the bodies of the three people. Blood filled the sky.
Xue Wuhen was more and more surprised as he walked. He didn't expect Ye Qinghan's spiritual sense to be so powerful. The Border Army and him, a Border Army Chiliarch, couldn't find the assassin, but he found it from dozens of li away. It was unbelievable.
Ye Qinghan shrugged and said faintly, "I have the wood spiritual space. These assassins hiding in the bushes are just standing in front of me naked. They are simply looking for death."
