Chapter 415: Chapter 284: Eradicate Completely! _2
Although Suspended Mountain was greatly suspected, it couldn’t be fully confirmed that they were the culprits.
I hope you will think thrice before acting, lest you fall for someone else’s provocation and be used as a pawn without realizing it.”
“Rest assured, Tower Master, I am not such a reckless person,” Lu Qing nodded.
“That’s very good,” the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master nodded, “However, with the Wujian Building reappearing in the world after hundreds of years, this matter is no small issue, and I must report to Holy Mountain.
Young Master Lu, you all must have been frightened tonight, please rest well. We will send someone to handle these bodies.”
“Thank you, senior.”
Lu Qing did not object but bowed to the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master.
As soon as the Tower Master hurried off, some other disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Tower soon came, bowed to Lin Zhirui, and began to take away the bodies.
Lu Qing and his companions did not stop them, watching as they took the bodies away.
“Mr. Zhi Rui, what are you thinking about?”
After the disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Tower had taken away the bodies, Lu Qing saw Lin Zhirui as if lost in thought and asked.
“I’m thinking, if it’s confirmed that tonight’s incident was the work of Suspended Mountain, Young Master Lu, what do you plan to do?”
“What else can I do? They’re powerful, and we’re just small figures. Other than keeping our distance, what else can we do?” Lu Qing said indifferently.
If you are a small figure, then I’m afraid there are no big figures left in this world.
Lin Zhirui silently complained in his heart.
Which small figure can crush a disciple of Suspended Mountain to death and get away completely?
Furthermore, who else could severely injure a disciple close to reaching the Great Success of the Innate Realm of Suspended Mountain while still in the Postnatal Realm?
However, Lin Zhirui also knew that Lu Qing’s words were just to placate him.
Knowing Lu Qing as he did, Lin understood that he was not someone who would shrink back when faced with difficulties.
Back when he only had the cultivation of the Muscle Bone Realm, he dared to challenge a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Suspended Mountain, no matter how powerful, would hardly be able to intimidate him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to kill that disciple of Suspended Mountain in front of so many people during the day.
Of course, Lin Zhirui did not persuade Lu Qing.
At their level of cultivation, their personalities were extremely independent, and their wills as strong as steel.
Once they decided on something, it was rare for them to change their minds because of a few words from others.
By now, the grudge between Suspended Mountain and Lu Qing and his companions was clearly irreconcilable, and it was not something he could dissuade.
Therefore, Lin Zhirui did not say much more when he bid farewell and left.
…
Not long after Lin Zhirui returned to his own courtyard,
on another side of Holy City, in a certain house, several figures with strange auras were gathered, staring in silence at some shattered jade tokens before them.
After a while, a hoarse voice said: “Their Life Plates have shattered, they are all dead.”
“How could they fail so quickly, they had just entered not long ago, hadn’t they?” another figure could hardly believe it.
“Four disciples, close to the Great Success of the Innate Realm, all dead. Wasn’t it said that the targets were just a few of the Postnatal Realm and one of the Great Success of the Innate Realm?
Or could it be that that old guy from Heavenly Mechanism Tower made a move?” another figure asked.
“It doesn’t make sense; even that old man shouldn’t have been able to detect Jue Ming and their movements so quickly.”
“No matter the reason, it’s clear that we were probably tricked by the monks from Suspended Mountain, who did not provide full information,” the hoarse voice coldly stated.
“I knew it, those baldies weren’t so kind-hearted; they dared to let us strike, intending for us to go to our deaths!” a figure exclaimed indignantly.
“So, what do we do now? Even disciples of the Minor Achievement of the Innate Realm have failed, do we continue the mission?”
“Of course we continue. Are you thinking of defying Suspended Mountain’s orders?”
Upon hearing this, all the figures shuddered.
Although they were cursing the monks verbally, they knew all too well just how formidable the true Suspended Mountain was.
It was a terrifying power they could not possibly resist.
“Prepare yourselves. Wait a moment longer, and we will make our move personally.
The other party has just experienced an assassination; they will never expect that we will strike again.”
The hoarse voice said coldly.
“Really?” However, just as his words ended, a voice faintly emerged from outside, “Then have you ever considered, whether you can survive tonight?”
“Who’s there?!”
The figures in the room were seriously startled.
They never expected that someone could approach them, master assassins, undetected.
The way the newcomer concealed his superpower was terrifying!
Boom!
Just as those figures inside the room were deeply shaken, the windows and doors of the room suddenly exploded open. Several streaks of cold glint, carrying irresistible power and stirring the air currents, blasted towards them.
“Dodge!”
Although the attack came suddenly, the people inside were all skilled fighters. They instantly scattered in all directions.
Bang!
With a massive sound, the building where those figures were located immediately split apart, the walls directly shattered.
Just as one of the figures emerged, the next moment, he saw a dazzling sword light flare up in front of him.
“How…”
The figure’s eyes suddenly widened, as he hadn’t sensed anyone’s presence in front of him.
However, by the time he saw the sword light, everything was already too late.
Before he could finish his next two words, he felt dizzy, and the last sight he beheld was his own headless body.
“Third brother!”
“Third bro!”
“Third senior brother!”
The other figures, at this moment, all rushed out of the dust, seeing the scene before them and all crying out in shock.
Their hearts felt even cooler.
To think, Third Brother had just advanced to the Great Success of Innate Realm not long ago, and now, he was decapitated with a single strike.
Who exactly was the attacker? Could it be a Perfect Innate Realm master who detected their tracks and came to kill them?
The figures looked towards the figure standing before Third Brother’s corpse, trying to discern his identity.
However, when they clearly saw the person, they were all taken aback.
For they saw the person was dressed in black, securely wrapped, with a ghost face mask covering his face, revealing no hint of his real appearance.
More importantly, his superpower was ethereal, seemingly blended entirely into the surrounding space.
If they hadn’t seen him with their own eyes and only relied on sensing with Divine Soul Power, they would never have noticed him standing there.
His ability to conceal his superpower was on par with their “Infinite Walker,” perhaps even slightly superior.
“Who are you, and why do you attack us?” a hoarse voice questioned.
However, Lu Qing had no interest in answering his question.
Instead, he secretly communicated through Divine Soul, “Little Li, take action, make it quick, let none escape!”
Indeed, the man in black with a ghost face mask was Lu Qing.
After killing those Infinite Walkers attacking the small courtyard, he had used his superpower to investigate their identities.
Not only that, but he had also obtained a crucial piece of information from various notes.
That was the Infinite Walker still had a group of assassins lurking somewhere in Holy City.
So as soon as Lin Zhirui left, he immediately informed his master and took Little Li to the hiding place of the remaining Infinite Walkers.
Having learned from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master about the typical behavior of the Infinite Walker assassins, Lu Qing could not allow these unscrupulous beings to live.
“Hmm!”
Hearing Lu Qing’s voice, Little Li, who had already employed his Innate Divine Ability to hide in another layer of space, lightly responded, then swiftly pounced toward one of the figures across him.
Simultaneously, Lu Qing swung his long sword, his form exploded forward, attacking the remaining three figures.
“Be careful!”
Sensing the murderous aura released by Lu Qing, coupled with the formidable prowess he demonstrated by slaying Third Brother with a single strike.
The remaining three figures of Infinite Walkers didn’t dare to be negligent, taking out their weapons, and bracing themselves for battle.
However, in the next moment, one of the figures’ pupils suddenly dilated. In disbelief, he looked down at his chest.
There, unbeknownst when, a hole the size of a bowl had appeared.
Inside, his heart had already vanished!
