"A trip to the Hall of Assassins will give me a promise from the Assassin Dao Union? The Dao of Assassins is the Dao of Courage. Even if I can't get this promise, I have to take a trip and understand what true courage is. "
When Hong Yi heard the words of the Assassin Dao Union's Supreme Elder, he went silent for a moment. Then, he looked at her as if trying to figure out something.
But after the Supreme Elder finished speaking, she didn't move at all. She hugged her sword and sat on the steps. Her eyes were closed and her aura was one with the mountain rocks. She was like a stone statue. Her grey clothes didn't move at all in the mountain wind.
The female Grand Elder seemed to be around 30 years old. She had an ordinary appearance, belonging to the type that was neither ugly nor beautiful. She was dressed in gray clothes, which covered her face, so no one would pay attention to her wherever she went.
The other two grand elders, on the other hand, were two ordinary middle-aged men in gray robes. They were also sitting in the main hall of the Hall of Assassins, as if they were the guards of the hall.
However, Hong Yi knew that their cultivations in the Martial Dao were probably not inferior to the Divine Might King, Yang Tuo. All of them were peak Saints in the Martial Dao.
"Looks like if I enter the Hall of Assassins, I will be assassinated by these three Supreme Elders and five Supreme Elders. Even with my Human Immortal body, I can't deal with the assassination of these eight experts just by relying on martial arts. Hong Xuanji might be able to, but it's impossible for me! "
Hong Yi calculated in his heart.
While his body was that of a Worldly Immortal, his martial experience was shallow. He couldn't even compare to the Enduring Monk who had studied martial arts for his entire life. He couldn't even compare to the God Might Emperor Yang Tuo. Of course, he couldn't compare to these three Supreme Elders.
Martial experience was martial experience. One had to immerse themselves in martial arts for their entire life to get rid of all distractions. Hong Yi was now a Worldly Immortal, but his Martial Intent was only at the Wu Sheng level. It couldn't compare to Hong Xuanji's physical body and intent.
Perhaps Hong Xuanji could face the assassination of the three Grand Elders of the Assassin Dao Alliance. But Hong Yi knew that he couldn't.
Compared to the experience of martial arts fighting. Hong Yi was still very shallow.
Moreover, the danger of entering the Hall of Assassins was far greater than that.
Deep inside the Hall of Assassins, rows of stone pillars extended into the distance. The deepest part was completely dark, as if it was a Lesser Chiliocosm.
This atmosphere was enough to make one's hair stand on end and not dare to move forward. Moreover, there were indeed endless dangers hidden within.
Seeing Hong Yi standing in front of the 'Hall of Assassins' in silence, Godly Might King Yang Tuo smiled and said, "What's wrong? Could it be that Lord Zhuangyuan wants to enter the Hall of Assassins and follow the example of the Monogatari? "
"Exactly."
Hong Yi nodded and looked at the three large words "Hall of Assassins" in front of him.
"All the geniuses in the world want to enter the Hall of Assassins. Two years ago, the number one general in the world, God of War Champion Marquis also wanted to enter and received the promise of the Union. However, due to various reasons, he couldn't enter. It's better for Lord Zhuangyuan not to enter. A gentleman doesn't stand under a collapsing wall. As a secondary sage, it might not be a wise choice to take the risk. Moreover, Lord Zhuangyuan still wants to join forces with me to defend against the invasion of the Western Region Chara. "
Godly Might King Yang Tuo said. His tone was calm but it wasn't a provocation. He truly didn't want Hong Yi to enter.
At his and Hong Yi's level, provocation was useless. Godly Might King naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Hong Yi nodded to Godly Might King Yang Tuo, "Hong Yi appreciates Godly Might King's good intentions."
"Bring the incense, I want to offer it to the Ancient Dao Piercer!"
Saying this, Hong Yi suddenly said loudly.
"Alright!"
Yan Kai looked at Hong Yi and said this word. Yan Shiliu, who was behind him, looked at Hong Yi with a complicated expression. After that, he brought the incense burner, copper basin, and other sacrificial items.
Hong Yi washed his hands in the copper basin, tidied his clothes, and personally lit an incense stick. Then, he lowered his knees in front of the Hall of Assassins and kowtowed.
"I have been studying since I was young. Every time I read the history book 'Biography of the Assassins', the blood in my heart would surge!" Hong Yi's voice resounded between heaven and earth.
"The path of the assassin, fighting against many alone, is courage!"
"The path of the assassin, sacrificing one's body for a noble cause, is courage!"
"The path of the assassin, within five steps, blood stains the golden hall. The emperor fears, is courage!"
"Today, I offer sacrifice to the Ancient Dao Piercer, the path of the brave. May everyone in the world have the heart of a brave man! Those in high positions would be fearful and wouldn't dare to act recklessly! Those in high positions would be fearful and wouldn't dare to act recklessly! Those in high positions would be fearful and wouldn't dare to act recklessly! There is nothing in the world that is unfair. Today, I have come to offer sacrifice to the Dao Piercer in front of the Hall of Assassins. I have nothing to show for it, I can only offer my utmost sincerity. May the Dao Piercer be passed down from generation to generation, never to be replaced. "
"As long as the Dao Piercer is not destroyed, the brave man is not destroyed. As long as the brave man is not destroyed, the people dao will always prosper … "
Hong Yi's words were loud and clear, lingering in front of the main hall of the Hall of Assassins. After offering sacrifice, Hong Yi kowtowed heavily on the stone floor, letting out a metallic clang.
This kowtow was purely to offer sacrifice to the true meaning of courage. He hoped that the brave man's heart would prosper in the people dao.
Every time he kowtowed, the thoughts in Hong Yi's soul would move a little, seeming to become more crystalline, upright, and powerful!
As long as the Dao Piercer is not destroyed, the brave man is not destroyed. As long as the brave man is not destroyed, the people dao will always prosper.
"Utter sincerity, as expected of a figure whose essay shocked a hundred sages …" As he listened to Hong Yi's funeral oration, the Mighty God King Yang Tuo's expression became more and more solemn, and he felt his blood boiling in his chest.
Hearing Hong Yi's words, the three elders of the Assassin Dao Alliance stood up slightly, their eyes flickering with a strange emotion.
From Hong Yi's words, they seemed to have found the true meaning of the Dao Piercer, the true meaning of courage.
"Hong Yi, if we are successful in our cultivation and can break through the shackles and step into the Human Immortal Realm, it will all be thanks to your words today. We have nothing to repay you with, so let us kowtow to show our gratitude! "
The three Supreme Elders of the Assassin Dao Alliance, Yan Kai, and the rest of the five elders stood up and knelt down towards Hong Yi when they saw Hong Yi kneeling in front of the main hall.
"Let us work together to achieve the Dao Piercer! Let us offer sacrifice and inherit the ancient courage … "
Hong Yi also knelt down to return the greeting. Finally, the nine of them knelt down towards the 'Hall of Assassins'!
The Dao of the Assassin, the courage of the people, was passed down from generation to generation. It made the people in power fearful, not daring to act rashly. If there was injustice, he would have the courage to draw his sword and seek justice for himself. With such determination, what else was there that wasn't worth kowtowing to?
After Hong Yi and the eight elders knelt down, they stood up at the same time and burst into laughter.
Following this, the eight elders retreated into the main hall of the 'Hall of Assassins' and hid in the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
"Hong Yi, if you want to enter the Hall of Assassins and obtain our promise, then come on in! You have the courage, but do you have the strength to do so? Be careful, we won't go easy on you. " The voice of the female grand elder who spoke just now came from the darkness in the depths of the Hall of Assassins.
"Of course I won't go easy. If I did, it would be disrespecting the ancient Assassin Dao and the courage in my heart. Today, I'm entering the Hall of Assassins, not because of the promise of the Assassin Dao Alliance, but because I respect the courage of the assassins … Everyone, in the face of life and death, let us work together! "
Hong Yi laughed heartily. With a flick of his clothes, he stepped into the Hall of Assassins.
The moment Hong Yi stepped into the 'Hall of Assassins', the huge stone door slowly closed by some unknown force. None of the aura inside could be transmitted out.
Even the God Might King, Yang Tuo, could not sense any movement within the 'Hall of Assassins' after the door closed.
"Realm … realm … courage … only today did I understand … how could a person like Hong Yi hide under others? Such a person was like a dragon. I, Yang Tuo, have seen many people. Birds, I know they can fly. Fish, I know they can swim. Beasts, I know they can run. A beast that can run can be caught with a net, a fish that can swim can be caught with a line, and a bird that can fly can be shot with an arrow. As for a dragon, I do not know what it looks like. This Hong Yi is a dragon-like person … "
Yang Tuo sighed to himself.
"Send a letter back to the Madam. Tell her that we're going to rearrange our plans for Hong Yi."
"Yes!" Hearing Yang Tuo's words, the two Daoists took out a bunch of paper cranes from their robes and blew on them. The paper cranes flew up into the clouds and disappeared.
"I wonder what kind of soul-stirring battle it will be in the Hall of Assassins."
Creak …
The heavy stone door closed slowly, blocking out all light. The entire Hall of Assassins was plunged into darkness. There was no light at all. It was like a world of darkness.
The sounds from the outside could not be transmitted into the main hall.
However, Hong Yi's eyes could see everything clearly.
First, he did not put up his guard. Instead, he looked at the seven words on the pillar in front of him. 'Monogatari was here'. The words were like the person, controlling the Heavenly Dao.
"Monogatari, so what if you control the Heavenly Dao? Can you suppress the courage in one's heart? You're looking down on courage by writing like this … I'll erase your words today. Don't tarnish the courage of the Dao of Assassins. "
As Hong Yi spoke, a spot of light flickered on his finger. It was a sparkling, sparkling object. Electric arcs flickered and sizzled, but it seemed to contain the will of a vast space.
This was the will of a four-stage lightning tribulation.
One by one, the will flew out of his hand. A total of seven flew towards the seven words on the pillar, wanting to erase them all.
However, just as the seven thoughts shot onto the pillar, that 'Meng Shen-Ji was here' seven large characters suddenly erupted with a kind of deep blue radiance, blocking the thoughts from advancing.
At the same time, the blue light suddenly turned into countless small swords. Then, they gathered in the air to form a huge sword that resembled the Heavenly Dao Demon Sealing Sword. With a violent swing, it slashed towards Hong Yi!
Chi!
These seven words actually contained supreme magic power.
They could not be offended.
This was the prestige of the Sovereign Dao's sect master, the number one person in the world. He could not even tolerate the blasphemy of words. Blasphemers would die!
All those who offended the Heavenly Dao would be turned into dust.
Hong Yi was slightly surprised. He swung the divine sword in his hand upward, and a sword qi pierced through the air, colliding with the blue sword that was slashing towards him.
Boom! The two collided, and everything was destroyed. The blue Heavenly Dao Demon Sealing Sword turned into countless blue star fragments that floated in the air.
However, the Heavenly Dao Demon Sealing Sword did not fall to the ground this time. Instead, after shattering, it suddenly condensed into a pagoda. As soon as the pagoda appeared, it seemed to immediately break through the restraints of space. It expanded, and the entire space was completely frozen. There was not a single bit of air that could flow. Then, it fiercely enveloped Hong Yi.
"Taiyu Pagoda!"
Hong Yi's heart trembled violently. He immediately recognized that this was the true form of an immortal treasure from the Taishang Dao's' Universe 'chapter. It possessed boundless power.
Su Mu had once displayed it in front of Hong Yi, but the might of this' Taiyu Pagoda 'was simply countless times greater than the power that Su Mu had displayed. It caused Hong Yi to feel an irresistible urge to resist.
"Do the words he left behind have such magical power? Great Vacuum Handprint, support the pagoda! "
With a furious roar, nine halos of light flew out from behind Hong Yi's head. His Eternal Primordial Spirit appeared, and the Buddha of the Future faintly appeared. Buddhist chants filled the air, and golden light flowed, instantly transforming into a giant hand that grabbed the descending Taiyu Pagoda and pushed it upwards.
The two collided, and spatial ripples spread out in all directions.
Boom!
The Taiyu Pagoda was lifted up by the Great Vacuum Handprint, and with a shake and a fierce squeeze, it shattered into blue star fragments once more. Then, the melodious sound of a bell resounded throughout the great hall of the Hall of Assassins.
The Bell of Cosmic Extremity descended once more.
Hong Yi had never imagined that after entering the Hall of Assassins, he would first have to contend with the power of the words left behind by the Monogatari before he could even contend with the eight elders of the Assassin's League.
