Blood God Palace Assassin

In the core area of the Immortal City, magnificent palaces were linked together like an imperial palace. Every building exuded an ancient and majestic aura.

Resplendent and magnificent, the exterior alone truly allowed one to feel the decadent stench of wealth.

It was extravagant and luxurious.

This was the headquarters of the Huangfu family.

Young Master! We have confirmed the locations of that rogue cultivator and Zi Ling'er. Do you need your subordinate to send men to capture them?

A sharply dressed man knelt on one knee, his gaze fixed on the ground, not daring to look up.

His cultivation base impressively revealed him to be an expert at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.

Not far in front of him, a handsome and elegant man reclined in a chair. He was casually draped in a gold-threaded cicada robe as thin as a cicada's wing, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a face carrying an unruly arrogance.

A Golden Core female cultivator served beside him, occasionally picking up a spirit fruit to place into Huangfu Yunteng's mouth.

Hearing the man's words, the corners of Huangfu Yunteng's mouth curled up into a most sinister smile. A Tongxuan realm rogue cultivator actually managed to trap and kill four old dogs of the Zi family. How interesting.

I want to see just how far he can go when facing my Huangfu family.

Huangfu Yunteng casually spat a spirit fruit seed onto the Golden Core woman, then stood up and stretched out his arms.

Seeing this, the Golden Core woman hurriedly took out an extravagant outer robe, draped it over Huangfu Yunteng, and tidied his attire.

Let's go. Follow me to witness the abilities of this rogue cultivator.

Huangfu Yunteng planned to take action personally.

He would also conveniently capture his new pet, Zi Ling'er, and bring her back. This was a new toy he had gone to great lengths to select; he could not let her fool around with a rogue cultivator.

As the dignified young master of the Huangfu family, he had no desire to be cuckolded by a rogue cultivator.

Only when Huangfu Yunteng and his subordinate had completely left and vanished did the Golden Core woman finally heave a sigh of relief and clean the filth off her body.

As Huangfu Yunteng's maid, the slightest mistake could cost her her life.

Although she was a Golden Core cultivator, she had no right to choose her own life. Her family had sent her to the Huangfu family merely to curry favor with them.

However, even if she was careful and hardworking enough, she had only earned the qualification to be one of Huangfu Yunteng's thousands of maids. She had to live carefully every single day, not knowing if she might die on any given day.

Meanwhile, after Mo Tianxiao and Zi Ling'er spread the false information, they took a detour and advanced toward the Immortal City.

If Huangfu Yunteng sees the surprise Senior left behind, he will probably be so angry that he vomits blood.

Zi Ling'er's fair and tender face carried a trace of mischief. The moment she thought of how her senior had played both the Zi family and the Huangfu family for fools, her eyes could not help but shine with adoration.

A rogue cultivator at the Tongxuan realm and a Nascent Soul stage tag-along actually managed to entangle with two major powers for so long. Not only did they not suffer any losses, but they also counter-killed quite a few people and even picked up a quasi-saint weapon for free.

If word of this got out, who would believe it?

If it had not happened to her, she would never have believed it either.

What's more, Senior not only trapped and killed so many people from the Zi family but also planned to scheme against the young master of the Huangfu family. Such a feat was enough for her to brag about for a lifetime.

These short few months had been terrifyingly nerve-wracking, yet incomparably thrilling.

He might not be so angry that he vomits blood, but it will definitely make him miserable. That much is true.

Mo Tianxiao's expression was calm. He did not feel the slightest bit proud of this matter; instead, he became even more cautious.

Moving forward, the Zi family and the Huangfu family would inevitably be extremely careful and absolutely would not give them any chances.

Once Huangfu Yunteng abandoned martial ethics and let a Saint realm expert take action, all their methods would be in vain, completely useless.

Next, they had to quickly head to the Yaochi Heavenly Palace to seek a powerful backer, and then look for an opportunity to do the rest.

In a flash, over ten days passed. The two of them were only halfway away from the Immortal City, and they did not encounter any accidents along the way.

This indicated that they had successfully bypassed the Zi family and even the Huangfu family. One side was moving away from the Immortal City, while the other was about to arrive; the distance between the two parties was growing further and further apart.

We will rest for fifteen minutes, then continue our journey.

Mo Tianxiao casually tossed a spiritual energy recovery pill to Zi Ling'er, then sat cross-legged himself and began to regulate his breathing.

Zi Ling'er did not stand on ceremony. She took the pill, sat cross-legged, and recovered her consumed spiritual energy.

Swish!

Right at this moment, a phantom dressed entirely in black solidified behind Mo Tianxiao, holding a sharp blade in a reverse grip that gleamed with a bone-chilling light.

Extreme killing intent erupted from his eyes as the sharp blade in his hand thrust straight toward the back of Mo Tianxiao's neck!

Hmm?!

The instant the sharp blade touched his skin, Mo Tianxiao's eyes suddenly snapped open. His pupils turned dark red, the spiritual energy in his body explosively detonated, and a black-gold armor surfaced on his skin in the blink of an eye.

Clang!!

The deafening sound of the collision stirred up violent fluctuations, causing Zi Ling'er, who was sitting cross-legged and regulating her breathing in the distance, to instantly open her eyes.

Senior!!

What greeted her eyes was the sight of a black shadow holding a sharp blade, attempting to assassinate her senior. Meanwhile, her senior exuded a terrifying aura from his entire body. Those dark red eyes, in particular, gave her the sensation of her whole body being pricked by needles.

At the same time Mo Tianxiao erupted with spiritual energy, his entire being fully entered a combat state. He stood up, spun around, and threw a fierce punch.

However, the black figure had anticipated this. Upon failing the initial strike, he immediately flashed backward. His figure gradually faded, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Mo Tianxiao lacked any emotional fluctuation, as if he were looking at a corpse.

You still want to run?

Mo Tianxiao could not help but sneer. Can you run away!

Immortal Dao Secret Art: Sleight of Hand!

In the next instant, that black phantom became solid once again, while Mo Tianxiao's figure gradually blurred, hiding and vanishing into the air.

How is this possible!?

Seeing this scene, the black-clad man's pupils shrank drastically, and his face filled with shock. His cultivation technique had failed!

No matter how hard he thought, he could never have imagined that such an unreasonable method existed in this world!

Facing this sudden change, the man reacted extremely quickly, immediately widening the distance and shooting backward.

Regardless of what had actually happened, the assassination mission had failed, and he had to evacuate. He would leave first and look for the next opportunity later.

As an assassin of the Blood God Palace, he sought a one-hit kill. If he failed, he had to retreat immediately. This was the rule, and it was also the survival principle that allowed the Blood God Palace to become a top-tier assassin organization.

Roar!!

A dragon roar exploded in his ears like a clap of thunder. The man's heart shook violently, and he fiercely turned his head, slashing the sharp blade in his hand toward the direction of the dragon roar on his left.

Over here!

A sinister laugh came from the other side. Mo Tianxiao's figure was exposed, accompanied by bursts of dragon roars around his body.

True-grade movement technique, Eight Desolates Roaming Dragon Step!

Great Annihilation Fist!

Condensing his fist, he fiercely blasted it toward the assassin, and explosive annihilation energy detonated from his fist.

Bang!!

The punch smashed into the assassin's chest, instantly blooming into a resplendent blood-colored flower. The assassin's upper body exploded directly, sending flesh and blood flying everywhere.
