Chapter 398 The Tower Disappeared
Silver Moon Spear, Break Your Soul.
The spear pierced right through the chest of one of the killers.
At the same time, a huge sabre as wide as a door fell from the sky, slicing one of the killers into two.
The third and last killer was knocked out by a palm. It smacked into the wall and collapsed onto the ground, looking as if all the bones in his body were shattered by the impact.
Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows. "This combination is most interesting."
One of the Four Guardians of Heavenly Revelations, Zhuque, Sikong Qianluo.
Disciple of Master Wangyou of Snowy Peak Temple, Wuchan.
One of the top five in the ranking list of assassins, Ming Hou.
Ye Ruoyi breathed a sigh of relief. "You’re all here."
"Ye-jiejie, are you hurt?" Sikong Qianluo asked.
"Fortunately, they seem afraid of the State Preceptor’s presence here and have only been testing us." Ye Ruoyi retreated a few steps and asked Qi Tianchen, "State Preceptor, have you pinpointed where that person is hiding?"
Qi Tianchen shook his head. "Not yet."
Wuchan stepped forward and looked at the corpse whose bones were shattered by his Vajra Demon Subjugation Divine Skill, a disturbing frown on his face. "You said that my shidi has been transformed into a medicine man like this?"
"Yes, I saw him that day. Four martial experts in the Heavenly Realm joined forces but couldn’t stop him. Even one of the five great sword immortals, the Wrath Sword Immortal, couldn’t defeat him," Sikong Qianluo replied.
Wuchan withdrew his hand. "Xiao Se has a way to cure him?"
"He said they’ll be able to prepare the medicine very soon, but how to make him take this medicine is a big problem. He’s way too powerful." Sikong Qianluo shook her head.
"Which is why he’s entered this tower. Perhaps when he comes out of this tower, things will be different," Qi Tianchen said.
Wuchan stood up. "Then, we’ll wait for him to come out!"
"Screech!" A third scream sounded.
There was a flash of cold light and a long sabre landed behind Wuchan.
Wuchan smirked, turned his head and struck with his Great Vajra Fist. The fist landed on the blade of the sabre.
The blade did not move at all, but Wuchan was forced to retreat seven steps. Although he had the Unbreakable Vajra Body Arts to protect his body, his hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Incredible sabre power." Wuchan looked up, but was shocked at the sight.
The man\'s face was full of scars made by blades, but his eyes were empty. It was clear that he had lost his state of mind.
"Be careful, this person is not easy to deal with." Xie Xuan looked at the sabre in the other man’s hand. "The sabre move he made just now was no ordinary move. It must have been imparted by Xie Qidao of Hidden River’s Xie House. A few days ago, Lanyue Marquis visited and mentioned this person. He ought to be the present Head of Xie House, Xie Jiucheng."
"Head of Xie House." Sikong Qianluo furrowed her brows slightly. "How did he get turned into such a pathetic state?"
"He was injured before," Ming Hou said solemnly. "And it must have been a near fatal injury, but he survived."
"You were also seriously injured once," Wuchan said suddenly. "Back then, you seriously injured Old Man Tianquan, but suffered grievous injuries yourself and almost died."
"No. In fact, at that time, there was no doubt I was going to die." Ming Hou carefully examined Xie Jiucheng in front of him. "It was as grievous as his injuries. Even if Hua Tuo was reincarnated, he wouldn’t have been able to save me."
"But you were saved, and just like this person in front of you, you lost your state of mind. Looks like many things have suddenly gained an explanation," Wuchan said solemnly. "This Xie Jiucheng is from Hidden River?"
"The Hidden River is now loyal to the Red Prince Xiao Yu," Ye Ruoyi said.
Ming Hou was stunned. "Red Prince?"
"Screech!" A fourth scream sounded.
Xie Jiucheng raised his sabre and charged at everyone.
"Allow me!" Ming Hou swung his huge sabre furiously, clashing directly with Xie Jiucheng\'s saber. His power was quite extraordinary. After all, he was ranked in the top five on the ranking list of assassins, and his strength should not be underestimated. But everyone knew that the Hidden River regarded that list of assassins as a joke.
As for Ming Hou and Yue Ji, who were ranked fifth on the list of assassins, when they acted independently, Ming Hou was just a martial expert in the Unrestrained Earthly Realm. After spending time in the Rakshasa Hall, Ming Hou had regained his lucidity, and he felt that he could have taken the first tentative steps into the Unfettered Heavenly Realm. Yet, he was facing the current Xie Jiucheng who had been refined into a medicine man and his strength was far superior to before.
After matching three sabres in succession, Ming Hou was not able to gain the advantage but Xie Jiucheng\'s long sabre had already left several cuts on him.
"I\'ll help." Wuchan stepped forward.
"Screech screech screech!" The screams kept ringing.
Finally, another four people jumped into the courtyard.
"Looks like he’s figured out our aces this time and sent all the rest of his people in." Xie Xuan glanced back. "Just which floor did the people inside reach?"
"How troublesome." Sikong Qianluo swung her spear furiously. "It\'s because of you people that we’re being forced to stay in this Heavenly Revelations City and we can’t even leave. See if I don’t hack you to pieces!" She swung her spear, but was aiming for Xie Jiucheng. "This one seems to be the most powerful so leave him to me. Ming Hou, Wuchan, you take care of the rest!"
"The daughter of the Spear Immortal is truly extraordinary," Qi Tianchen remarked with a smile.
Xie Xuan nodded. "I’d say she has exactly the same temperament as her mother back then."
Although the fighting was getting more and more ferocious outside the First Tower Under Heaven, the inside of the tower was extremely quiet.
Xiao Se looked at the portrait of the ancestor founder of the Directorate of Astronomy for a long time, but he couldn’t make out anything unusual about it. The Wuji staff was also gradually becoming quiet. Finally, he gave up on examining the painting but he couldn’t find an exit either, so he retreated again.
"Let’s be honest, ancestor founder, what exactly do you want me to do? Can you give me a hint? Can you stop with that half-smile? It’s freaky." Xiao Se leaned against his staff and added impatiently, "If you don\'t give me anything, I\'ll smash your portrait!"
Suddenly, the talismans on the Wuji staff flashed.
Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he felt a hand touch his shoulder.
Court of State Ceremonial.
A beautiful woman with white hair sat on the eaves and used the tip of her staff to tap on the tiles on the side. She was signalling for the person below to look up.
However, the Chief Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, Jin Xian Gonggong, continued sitting where he was, slowly counting his rosary, and did not even raise his eyebrows.
"A guest has arrived but you’re not even saying hello? You should at least invite me for some wine?" Ji Xue said lazily.
"I don\'t have wine here, just tea." Jin Xian Gonggong gently flung the Buddhist beads from his hands, swept up a cup of hot tea by his side and with another gentle fling, he threw the teacup towards the visitor.
Ji Xue reached out to catch the teacup. She glanced at it before blowing at it and drank it slowly. She grinned. "Good tea."
"Does Bai Xiao Hall have a hobby of sneaking around?" Jin Xian asked.
"I admire Jin Xian Gonggong a lot, so let’s skip the riddles. Hand over the person I’m looking for. You can’t protect him nor should you protect him. Since I managed to locate him, other people’s investigation won’t be far behind." Ji Xue tossed down the teacup lightly.
Jin Xian caught the teacup, but he still didn\'t look up. "And what if I say no?"
