797: The old man in the Heavenly Palace, piercing the sky with his bloody hands
Lu Mingya glanced at Xie Weilou and said indifferently, "The Divine Kingdom is the strongest assassin organization in ancient legends. It was founded in the Middle Region. At its Peak, its power spread across the entire Tianhuang, but there is no trace of the Divine Kingdom now."
The Reincarnation Sect has an extraordinary origin and involves a great deal; naturally, Lu Mingya knows quite a lot.
The assassin organization known as the Divine Kingdom once spanned Tianhuang through the ages, but now it has disappeared.
In this Eastern Desolation, when people mention assassin organizations, the first one they think of is the Heavenly Palace. As for the Divine Kingdom, those who know of it are few and far between!
The Mysterious Person from the Heavenly Palace immediately looked at Lu Mingya and sneered, "Ignorant Little Girl, who said there is no trace of the Divine Kingdom now?"
“...”
Nearby, the Longevity Saintess's eyes instantly became hollow, and she walked directly toward that Corpse Skeleton.
As the Power of Time swept over her, she completely ignored it, as it was unable to affect her in the slightest.
“Hmm?”
Seeing this, everyone could not help but show a look of surprise.
The Longevity Saintess could actually ignore this Power of Time?
Since entering the ancient city, the Longevity Saintess seemed to have remained unaffected by the Power of Time, which was extremely eerie.
Xie Weilou stared at the Longevity Saintess and thought to himself, "This woman's situation isn't right; it's just like what happened back at Guangyin Ridge."
“...”
The Heavenly Palace Mysterious Person watched the Longevity Saintess coldly but did not stop her, thinking it was fine to let her scout the way.
The God Slayer was the First God of Slaughter, with heaven-shaking cultivation. At his Peak, he could even assassinate a Peerless Great Emperor.
Even though he had fallen, his Corpse Skeleton remained eternal and indestructible, carrying a terrifying pressure. How could it be easy to approach?
The Longevity Saintess's steps were steady, and she soon arrived ten meters in front of the Corpse Skeleton.
She looked at the Corpse Skeleton before her with hollow eyes, and a raspy voice came from her mouth: "A mere ant, unable to even handle a small matter, simply wasting my things. Now, hand it over..."
“...”
Everyone's pupils constricted as they looked at the Longevity Saintess with eyes full of suspicion and uncertainty. She was calling this Corpse Skeleton an ant?
Lin Qinghuang stared at the Longevity Saintess and said calmly, "Her state seems off."
Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "If she were in her right mind, she wouldn't approach this Corpse Skeleton."
He understood that the Longevity Saintess's current state was related to that eyeball and the mysterious existence from Guangyin Ridge; she must be under control right now.
The Corpse Skeleton before them carried a terrifying Power of Time, suggesting it had likely been to Guangyin Ridge and had some connection with that mysterious existence.
“Damned Little Girl, how dare she call Lord God Slayer an ant? She's dead for sure.”
Cold light flickered in the Mysterious Person's eyes, his killing intent extremely dense.
“Hand it over.”
The Longevity Saintess reached out toward the Corpse Skeleton, and a bizarre vertical eye emerged at the center of her brow.
Whoosh!
From within the skull of the Corpse Skeleton, a blood-red Storage Ring flew out and landed directly in the Longevity Saintess's palm.
“Consider yourself sensible!”
The Longevity Saintess gripped the Storage Ring, then turned and withdrew.
“A Storage Ring?”
The Mysterious Person was startled, and then greed appeared in his eyes. He instantly rushed toward the Longevity Saintess: "Hand over Lord God Slayer's Storage Ring!"
A trace of clarity returned to the Longevity Saintess's hollow eyes. Seeing the Mysterious Person rushing over, her expression darkened, and she threw a punch.
“Seeking death!”
The Mysterious Person's tone was icy as his aura surged. His cultivation reached the Kou Gong Peak in one step as he met her punch.
Boom!
Their fists collided, and the Longevity Saintess was instantly knocked back several meters.
“Kou Gong Peak!”
After the Longevity Saintess stabilized her body, she raised an eyebrow.
The Mysterious Person said coldly, "Hand over Lord God Slayer's Storage Ring, or else, no mercy."
The Longevity Saintess said indifferently, "A mere Kou Gong Peak thinks he can threaten me?"
The Mysterious Person sneered, "Kou Gong Realm? Who told you I was in the Kou Gong Realm?"
He reached out both hands, suddenly plunged them into his own chest, and then pulled hard.
Boom!
The Mysterious Person's chest was instantly torn open, blood gushed out, and a foot-long Blood-colored Casket flew out.
The aura on the Mysterious Person's body completely dissipated as he fell to the ground. It was as if he had been a corpse, a mere husk from the beginning, and the thing truly controlling him was this Blood-colored Casket!
Buzz!
The Blood-colored Casket vibrated and instantly grew larger, resembling a coffin, before being shaken open by a massive force.
A withered old man dressed in blood-red robes with a wrinkled face crawled out of the coffin. He had one blood-red hand that looked extremely conspicuous.
Boom!
As soon as this old man appeared, a terrifying pressure permeated the area. The ground cracked instantly, and many bones were shattered.
Lu Mingya looked at the old man, her gaze falling on his blood-red hand, and her eyes narrowed: "You are the Heavenly Palace Elder, Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven."
Five thousand years ago, a brilliant assassin appeared in the Heavenly Palace, named Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven.
With a cultivation in the Creation Realm, he had assassinated a Venerable of the Di Clan, causing that Venerable's cultivation to plummet. To this day, that Di Clan Venerable has not yet recovered to their Peak.
Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven sneered, "It has been over five thousand years since anyone addressed this seat this way."
The various factions had sent their juniors into this Grave of Primordial Beginning. Fortunately, he had prepared a trick in advance; otherwise, it would have been difficult to sneak in under the noses of the Marquis of Eight Desolations and the others.
“Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven!”
Imperial Abyss's face darkened, and she immediately stared at Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven, cold light flashing in her eyes.
Her Di Clan indeed had an Old Ancestor who had been assassinated by the Heavenly Palace, and the one who did it was precisely Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven.
Back when Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven ambushed that Di Clan Old Ancestor, the Di Clan Chief was enraged and even summoned Emperor Burial Mountain, pursuing him across eight hundred provinces, but unexpectedly allowed him to escape.
Since then, Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven had mysteriously vanished, as if he had evaporated from the world. No one expected him to reappear after five thousand years.
A Creation Realm expert has a Lifespan of five thousand years, while those who have entered the Venerable Realm have eight thousand years.
Five thousand years ago, this old fellow was at the Peak Creation Realm and could assassinate a Venerable. Now that five thousand years have passed, how much stronger must he be?
“Jie jie!”
Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven let out a bizarre laugh. He looked at Lu Mingya: "As expected of the Reincarnation Sect's Saintess, you know quite a lot! Today's matter has nothing to do with you; this old man will not move against you."
He even dared to assassinate a Di Clan Old Ancestor, but he did not dare to touch someone from the Reincarnation Sect. As a member of the Heavenly Palace, he knew many more things; the Reincarnation Sect was not someone he could afford to provoke.
If he provoked the Reincarnation Sect, someone would naturally come to settle the score with him, and even the Heavenly Palace would be purged.
Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven looked at Imperial Abyss and sneered, "Years ago, I was pursued across eight hundred provinces by the Di Clan Chief and almost died. I have always remembered this grudge. Today, I shall slaughter an Imperial Daughter to vent my hatred."
“...”
Imperial Abyss's face darkened, and she quickly formed hand seals. A miniature Emperor Burial Mountain instantly appeared before her.
“An imitation Emperor Burial Mountain poses no threat.”
Blood Hand Stabber of Heaven's expression was disdainful. He then looked at the Longevity Saintess: "Hand over the Storage Ring, and I can spare your life."
The Longevity Saintess's figure flickered as she moved to Xie Weilou's side: "Fellow Daoist Xie, you took that Triangular Spike earlier, and it seems this old fellow has his eyes on you too. Why don't we strike together and deal with him?"
