742: Let him do it

Boom! A massive, boundless purple-gold treasure hammer descended, ruthlessly suppressing the void below. The heavens and earth shook violently.

In the next instant, a figure shrouded in grey-white mist emerged from that void. Their expression was one of astonishment.

At the same time, Daoist arts were circulating within their body. The figure in the grey-white mist reached out and struck a palm against the purple-gold treasure hammer, which was descending like a collapsing mountain.

Clang! A booming sound of metal clashing rang out. The massive purple-gold treasure hammer flew backward, shrinking continuously.

A moment later, it landed in the hands of a purple figure who had appeared before the three demons of Heavenly Scorpion. The purple figure grasped the purple-gold treasure hammer as it flew back.

However, the residual recoil force on it caused the purple figure's right arm to tremble. Zhou Xiutong felt a shock in her heart. Purple-black lightning flashed around her body and vanished instantly, completely neutralizing the recoil force.

She then focused her gaze on the figure appearing within the grey-white mist. "You are not an Orange Fragrance Assassin?" "You are Red Fragrance..."

Zhou Xiutong's expression was grave, and in her eyes, a purple-black lightning bolt, resembling a swimming dragon with a single horn, flashed by. This dragon-like purple-black lightning granted her the ability to see through falsehoods.

"A fleshly Incarnation, is it..." Zhou Xiutong's slightly furrowed brow smoothed out. "Hmm?" The figure in the grey-white mist's expression changed once again.

This Junior, who was merely in the Early Stage of the Void Refining Realm, had actually seen through his true nature at a single glance. Moreover, this place had clearly been isolated; how did this Junior in the Early Stage of the Void Refining Realm find this place...

Red Fragrance Tower... Hearing the words of Zhou Xiutong, who stood before him, Heavenly Scorpion felt a slight relief, while a name surfaced in his mind. He had once heard this name mentioned in his clan.

Red Fragrance Tower was a mysterious organization in the Eastern Wasteland. It was a mysterious assassin organization that made its living by accepting contracts to kill. Red Fragrance Tower never asked for reasons when killing; they only looked at the price. Anyone, any force, as long as they could afford the price, even a successor of a Holy Land, or even an Elder, would be hunted by them. And their success rate was not low.

It was renowned in this Eastern Wasteland, an existence capable of stopping children from crying at night. Red Fragrance Tower's strength was extremely formidable. Several Holy Lands had once joined forces, intending to destroy Red Fragrance Tower, and even a Heavenly Venerable had personally displayed their Divine Might. Yet, they could do nothing against Red Fragrance Tower. This was because the Master of Red Fragrance Tower was also a Heavenly Venerable.

Furthermore, it was rumored among the forces in the Eastern Wasteland that perhaps one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects stood behind this Red Fragrance Tower. Otherwise, how could it have run rampant until now.

"Red Fragrance Assassins, using various fragrances to represent the assassin's Rank and strength..." "Orange Fragrance Assassins are already terrifying assassins capable of hunting down Void Refining Great Powers..." "Red Fragrance... the top-tier assassins of Red Fragrance Tower, are existences capable of hunting down Dao Lords of He Dao..."

Heavenly Scorpion whispered, his heart shaken. The reason he knew all this was because, in the past, a descendant of the Qilin clan had come to the Flowing Light Sand Realm with Fairy Gui Yi, the little Disciple of Hongdao Heavenly Venerable of the Dongxuan Dao Court, and had been attacked. The Zhou Family had only learned this information after investigating later.

This Red Fragrance Tower was already lawless. Previously, they had dared to strike against a Heavenly Venerable's Disciple and the Qilin Bloodline. Moreover, Red Fragrance Tower had struck many times. They had hunted down many geniuses from the Western Border Demon Domain and the Southern Domain Spirit Clan who had come to the Eastern Wasteland for training. This had already caused several sensations. They were wanted by the Dongxuan Dao Court, the Yuhua Immortal Court—also one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects—and several powerful Holy Lands. Yet, who would have thought that now, they would strike again, and the target was the Kunpeng, one of the five supreme Bloodlines. Red Fragrance Tower only cared about accepting contracts to kill. Behind this, it was clear that someone wanted to incite a conflict between the Immortal Sects and the supreme Bloodlines of the Demon Domain.

"What an impressive Junior." "You must be the Junior from the Qingyang Zhou Clan named Zixiao." "Truly extraordinary, to be able to see through my Incarnation while in the Void Refining Realm. Impressive."

The mysterious person in the grey-white mist was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhou Xiutong and praised aloud. As an assassin organization, they naturally had an understanding of the powerful forces in this Ancient Realm. This was not only for self-preservation but also to prepare for subsequent contract acceptance.

"A Red Fragrance Assassin, what a grand display, just to deal with this little Kunpeng..." "But it is also too useless; to actually let this Nascent Soul Stage little Kunpeng escape to this place." Zhou Xiutong's expression returned to calm. She spoke with faint mockery.

A Dao Lord of He Dao had personally taken action. Even if it was just an Incarnation formed from a speck of flesh, such a performance was truly hard to comment on. Behind Zhou Xiutong, the several-zhang-tall Kun Lingzi's expression froze. But, unusually, he did not refute it. It seemed he had already seen something malicious from this purple figure.

"What do you know!" The mysterious person's voice sank. Then, he took a deep look at Zhou Xiutong and the Kun Lingzi behind her. "Go!"

He had means bestowed by the Master on his body. It isolated the heavens and earth, unseen by any Heavenly Venerable. But since this Zhou Xiutong had broken in, it meant that something had gone wrong somewhere. With his extremely cautious nature, he would definitely not take action again. The mysterious phantom's figure trembled. The heavens and earth shifted, and the void quivered.

"Niece Xiutong, he is escaping..." Heavenly Scorpion shouted towards Zhou Xiutong in front of him. But just as he spoke, he did not notice that the heavens and earth around him were already slowly changing. The original scenery was continuously fading. Before Heavenly Scorpion had finished speaking, and before he could come to his senses, he saw that grey-white figure condensing once again in the distant void.

"...ing..." Heavenly Scorpion paused. That grey-white figure had clearly already run away; how could he have come back? "What is this..."

In the distance, the Red Fragrance Assassin of Red Fragrance Tower also caught a glimpse of the one person and three demons still within his line of sight. His heart slowly sank, and a long-lost feeling of panic and fear began to spread in his heart. Looking around, this surrounding area had already become a vast ocean. He seemed to have not shifted to the place he was supposed to go.

"Welcome to the Chaotic Sea." Zhou Xiutong put away the purple-gold treasure hammer in her hand and smiled lightly at the clearly flustered grey-white figure.

"Chaotic Sea..." "No..." "Shifting of Heaven and Earth!" The grey-white figure once again used his own Dao. His figure began to blur. Hum~ The void twisted, and the grey-white figure revealed his form again. However, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a massive island covered in hazy clouds, which had taken on a slight shape.

"Senior, ahead is Gui Zhou Island; would you be willing to come inside and sit for a while?" Zhou Xiutong's light laughter reached the ears of the grey-white figure once again.

"It is you who is playing tricks!" The grey-white figure was terrified. Gui Zhou Island was the nest of the Qingyang Zhou Clan, the territory where that Heavenly Venerable presided. He absolutely could not move forward any further.

"This Junior does not have such great ability." "It is my Old Ancestor who wants to see you." As Zhou Xiutong said this, she already bowed slightly.

"Heavenly Venerable!" The grey-white figure felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly looked up. He saw that, he knew not when, three blazing, burning suns had appeared above this sky. When he looked up, within two of those blazing suns, a long, narrow black abyss suddenly emerged in each.

"Heavenly Venerable!" The grey-white figure's body collapsed with a boom. Those were not suns; they were pupils! They were a pair of snake pupils like great suns!

"Heavenly Venerable! No!" Staring directly into the eyes of a Heavenly Venerable, the grey-white figure suffered a backlash, suddenly collapsing and turning into a speck of flesh. But he did not disappear; instead, around that speck of flesh, speck after speck of flesh suddenly condensed from the void. Uncontrollably, they attached themselves to the originally collapsed flesh. In just an instant, it transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist wearing a grey-white robe.

However, on this Daoist's face, there was an indescribable terror. This was his true body, which had never appeared, far away ten thousand times ten thousand miles. Yet it had suddenly collapsed and appeared here. At this moment, his He Dao body was already exposed under the gaze of a Heavenly Venerable. He knew best what this represented.

"Master, Master, save me!" The middle-aged Daoist shouted in terror. At this time and place, only the Master could save him.

"Let him come." At this moment, a low, majestic voice—the voice of Heaven's Mandate, as if issued by the Dominator of billions upon billions of living beings—fell into the middle-aged Daoist's heart. It completely transformed his heart, which was already like a raging sea, into a boiling abyss.
