54: Chapter 53 An Assassination That Could Change the Situation of the Great Xia Dynasty

"Otherwise?"

Xing Mu's beautiful eyes revealed a sense of laziness.

She seemed completely unconcerned about whether the world would continue to recover, fiddling with the small fish she had just caught, a faint joy on her pretty face.

"The second revival of the world... is it that fast?"

Ye Xiu felt somewhat helpless.

The Great Xia had just resolved its issues with the Yao Race, and internal conflicts had only just begun to emerge, yet the world was about to undergo changes again.

"The last River of Time made the blockade of the Main World much weaker."

Xing Mu put down the fish basket and continued: "The nine revivals of the world will all be advanced significantly; this is a good thing."

"A good thing?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, not feeling that this was a good thing at all.

"Although the Main World is reviving early, the rules and the Dao will not be perfected in advance. Some powerful realms will not take the initiative to connect to the Main World."

"Can realms actively connect to the Main World now?"

"Yes, once the second world revival begins, some weak realms can choose whether or not to connect to the Main World."

"Are they not afraid of death?"

Cold light flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes.

The Kunlun World was suppressed by the Celestial Blade; if ordinary realms dared to connect actively, they would likely be directly suppressed by the Celestial Blade.

Xing Mu shook her head slightly.

She seemed to know what Ye Xiu was referring to.

"The spirit of the Celestial Blade has long since passed away. That trace of obsession will only sublimate to the extreme realm when the world is completely revived, suppressing the strongest great realms among the heavens."

"You know this too?"

"All the secrets of this world are transparent in my eyes."

Xing Mu looked up at the sky.

In her eyes, several majestic figures seemed to be flickering.

Ye Xiu said nothing more.

Xing Mu's status in ancient times must have been extremely noble.

It was not strange that she knew these things, but had she already recovered all her memories?

He shook his head slightly.

After saying goodbye, his Qi erupted, and in just a few seconds, he had locked onto Sikong Tianwen's position.

Stepping through the air, he disappeared at the end of the horizon.

Three minutes later.

Ye Xiu's figure appeared in a military region.

"Xiao Ye, rushing over so urgently, is there something the matter?" Sikong Tianwen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Xiu did not exchange pleasantries.

"Senior, the second world revival may arrive early. The Great Xia should take precautions in advance."

"It will be early?"

Sikong Tianwen was stunned, evidently unaware of this situation.

Subsequently, Ye Xiu recounted the information he had obtained from Xing Mu.

After listening, Sikong Tianwen remained silent for a long time.

Only then did he pat Ye Xiu on the shoulder and leave in a hurry.

"It seems I need to speed up my Cultivate progress."

Ye Xiu did not stay in the military region for long.

After Sikong Tianwen left, he immediately rushed back to Xingluo Mountain.

He began his immersive Cultivate.

...

...

Somewhere in a mountain range.

Above the clouds.

More than a dozen Martial Practitioner of the Mingdao Realm were escorting an old man, fleeing at high speed.

Behind them, three masked assassins were pursuing rapidly.

The murderous intent on them was undisguised; they clearly had no intention of hiding it at all.

"The target of the assassins is this old man. Put me down, and you all leave."

The old man was fearless of life and death.

He hoped to use himself as bait to let these dozen young people survive.

"Councilor, if you die here, the entire Great Xia will be shrouded in civil war. Don't you know the severity of this?"

The young man in the lead was very unwilling.

He waved his hand, signaling the guard team to intercept from the rear.

He himself continued to take the old Councilor and flee forward.

Whoosh.

Boom.

Clang, clang, clang...

Intense battle fluctuations erupted in the rear.

The guard team of over a dozen people only managed to block them for a dozen minutes before they were all slaughtered.

The chase continued.

An hour later, the three who were pursuing had formed a triangular formation, surrounding the two who were fleeing.

"Do you know who you are hunting now?"

The young man protected the old man behind him, his inner power reversing in his body, ready to self-destruct at any moment.

"The Shadow organization takes money to do things, regardless of who the target is." A masked assassin spoke coldly.

As the words fell, the three assassins attacked simultaneously.

"Fight to the death."

The young man felt ruthless in his heart.

With a sudden movement, he threw the old man under the clouds.

Watching the three people attacking, he let out a loud roar, and with a boom, he self-destructed.

The violent explosion fluctuations shook the sky.

Caught off guard, the three assassins were all enveloped by the violent explosion.

When the explosion fluctuations dissipated, the three were unharmed, except for torn clothes and some minor injuries.

Before the world had recovered, the three were already among the Peak of the Great Xia.

Their strength had long reached the ninth grade of the Mingdao Realm, so even if they were directly enveloped by a self-destruction, they were not afraid at all.

Seeing that the old man had fallen to the ground, the three did not hesitate for even a second and chased after him.

On the ground, the old Councilor watched the violent explosion above the clouds.

He sighed in his heart.

This secret trip was clearly betrayed by an internal traitor.

Seeing the three people rushing to kill him, at this moment, the old Councilor sighed in his heart; he seemed to see a series of changes that would be triggered in the near future because of his own death.

Amidst the sigh, suddenly, a Sword Qi rushed from the end of the horizon.

In just a few seconds, a young Sword Cultivator had arrived in front of the old man.

"Councilor, Shangguan Wudao is here to receive you under the orders of the Luoyang Councilor." Shangguan Wudao saw that the old Councilor was unharmed and felt relieved.

But before he could relax, a murderous intent instantly locked onto him.

"There are more experts?"

Murderous intent surged in Shangguan Wudao's eyes.

Sword Qi soared to the heavens.

His sword seemed to have a sword spirit, directly killing the three assassins who were rushing over, while he himself guarded the old Councilor, constantly monitoring everything around him.

"Shangguan, you cannot protect him."

In the distance, a young man walked over slowly.

In just three steps, he had arrived not far from the two.

"Yao Yun, it seems your Yao family wants to rebel."

Extremely strong Battle Intent erupted from Shangguan Wudao.

He kept his eyes, filled with murderous intent, locked on the boy named Yao Yun.

"You cannot protect him."

From the direction of Luoyang, a monk wearing a cassock was walking slowly.

Faint Buddha light bathed the area above the clouds in a glow.

"Is the Buddhist sect also going to get involved?"

Shangguan Wudao's heart sank.

These five people were all Peak experts; this battle would likely be written into the history of the Great Xia.

"Brother Shangguan, the great ship of the era cannot be stopped. Only by uniting the entire Great Xia can we resist the future calamity of the heavens."

Yao Yun walked slowly.

As his footsteps approached, the gravity of the earth intensified.

Shangguan Wudao was fine, but the old Councilor was pale, clearly unable to withstand it.

"Kill!"

With a loud roar, Shangguan Wudao grabbed the old Councilor and soared into the sky.

He did not attack; instead, he chose to run with all his might.
