Following a Shiver

At this moment, in Passageway No. 11.

All the guards had been taken down, and those Profound Immortals from the Great Sun Immortal Continent wore cold smiles as they prepared to enter the main city and go into hiding.

Just then.

"Bang!"

As those Profound Immortals were about to enter the city, a black shadow—Su Yanjin—swiftly flashed by.

Before the Profound Immortals even realized what was happening, their dantians and meridians were completely destroyed, and they collapsed in pools of blood. Their faces still carried the smiles from before.

Everything happened in an instant.

Meanwhile, at another location.

At Gate No. 13 in the eastern part of the city.

A dozen Profound Immortals from the Great Sun Immortal Continent were concealing their auras and flying swiftly toward the gate.

In front of the gate, the Earth Immortal guards stood at their posts, completely unaware of the approaching Profound Immortals.

Just as they were about to fly past the gate.

"Bang!"

Another black shadow flashed by, and these dozen Profound Immortals were instantly killed, falling from the sky and landing in front of several guards.

Only then did the guards react, shouting urgently, "Enemy attack!"

However, when they cautiously approached the fallen Profound Immortals, they found that they were already dead.

...

Similar incidents occurred at more than a dozen passageways.

All of it happened in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, Su Yanjin returned to his post as if he had never left.

As for the two guards who had been chatting, they continued their conversation.

In their eyes, Su Yanjin had been standing there the entire time, never moving.

As dawn approached, the news of the incident was quickly reported to Xiang Tiannan, the ruler of the continent.

"Is this true? Hundreds of Profound Immortals were all killed at more than a dozen passageways?"

Xiang Tiannan exclaimed in shock.

Jiang Cheng nodded and replied, "Absolutely true."

"What's more, I've analyzed the time of their deaths and the methods used, and they were all identical—their dantians and meridians were completely shattered."

Jiang Cheng reported with a grave expression.

"Killing hundreds of Profound Immortals at the same time? Using the same method? And over such a vast distance?"

Xiang Tiannan was even more astonished.

Someone with such abilities was at least a Sun and Moon Immortal Realm expert, possibly on par with himself.

When did such a powerful figure appear in Star Net Capital City? And why was he unaware of it?

"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Issue a decree: anyone who can provide clues about this expert will be rewarded with a lower-grade immortal artifact."

Xiang Tiannan commanded sternly.

"Understood."

Jiang Cheng accepted the order and prepared to go and make the announcement.

"Wait a moment. I'm still not entirely at ease. Take me to inspect the bodies of those slain Profound Immortals. Perhaps we can find some clues."

Xiang Tiannan stopped Jiang Cheng.

He decided to personally inspect the corpses to confirm whether there was any conspiracy involved.

"Alright."

Jiang Cheng nodded and immediately notified the gate guards to prepare, then led Xiang Tiannan there.

At Passageway No. 9 in the southern part of the city.

Zhang Cheng also received the news and quickly gathered his small team.

"Stay sharp, everyone. The ruler is coming for an inspection. Keep your focus and don't mess up, understood?"

Zhang Cheng shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The guards responded in unison, standing straight with solemn expressions, each one putting forth their best demeanor.

After all, it was the ruler. If they performed well and caught his eye, they might even get promoted!

Su Yanjin, however, stood there expressionlessly.

"That's the attitude. When the ruler arrives, be sure to salute him."

Zhang Cheng continued to remind them.

Just as he finished, he saw Xiang Tiannan and Jiang Cheng approaching, surrounded by a group of attendants.

As Xiang Tiannan walked closer, his mind was still preoccupied with the matter of the Profound Immortals.

There were no visible wounds on the bodies of those Profound Immortals, and such a technique was something he had never seen before.

When he arrived at Passageway No. 9.

Zhang Cheng quickly signaled.

In an instant, he and the other guards all saluted Xiang Tiannan in unison.

"Ruler!"

Still lost in thought, Xiang Tiannan was brought back to reality by this call.

Seeing the guards in front of him standing tall and alert, Xiang Tiannan nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, you at Passageway No. 9..."

Before Xiang Tiannan could finish his compliment, he paused.

Because he saw an Earth Immortal guard suddenly start walking toward the gate on his own.
