Chapter 348: Dark Killing of the Prodigy, Assassination!

Chapter 348: Dark Killing Heavenly Pride, Assassination Incoming! [First update, seeking full subscription]

While Yan Sect was investigating, Ye Tian had already returned to Gourd Divine Mountain.

Inside the Divine Artifact Refining Hall on Gourd Divine Mountain.

Ye Tian met Divine Blue Ruo again.

“Divine Blue Ruo, this is the Tier 6 exotic flame you wanted—Purple Flame Exotic Flame!”

Ye Tian handed the jade box containing the sealed Purple Flame Exotic Flame to Divine Blue Ruo.

Divine Blue Ruo opened the jade box, and after confirming its contents, nodded and said, “Good, I will honor my promise to forge a weapon for you. Bring your Space Divine Gold!”

Ye Tian took out the palm-sized Space Divine Gold and handed it to Divine Blue Ruo.

“The quantity is sufficient, but do you want to forge a support-type spatial Divine Artifact, or an attack-type spatial Divine Artifact? If you want to forge an attack-type spatial Divine Artifact, I can forge a spatial knife for you, making your lethality even more terrifying. If it’s a support type, I can forge a Dimensional Magic Cube Artifact for you, which can enhance various abilities of your Space Talent. Which one do you choose?”

Divine Blue Ruo asked.

“I choose the Dimensional Magic Cube Artifact!”

Ye Tian said without hesitation.

A spatial knife seemed good, but it couldn't be combined with his knife technique. However, using a dimensional magic cube weapon could enhance various abilities of his Space Talent and wouldn't affect his use of knife technique.

Therefore, the Dimensional Magic Cube Artifact was more suitable for him!

“Alright, then I will forge a Dimensional Magic Cube Artifact for you. Forging a spatial Divine Artifact is quite time-consuming. Come back in two months!”

Divine Blue Ruo said.

“Then I will wait on Gourd Divine Mountain for two months. I wonder if it’s convenient for Divine Blue Ruo?”

Ye Tian asked.

“As long as you don't enter my main peak, any other place is fine!”

Divine Blue Ruo had a strange quirk: when he forged Divine Artifacts, he didn't want anyone around, and even his personal guards had to keep their distance.

Ye Tian left. He found a spot halfway up Gourd Divine Mountain, threw out a small palace, and began resting and cultivating in this palace, waiting for two months.

This time, the guards didn't come to drive Ye Tian away.

Divine Blue Ruo began forging the spatial Divine Artifact for Ye Tian, and Ye Tian also didn't waste time, starting his cultivation there.

…

Yan Sect’s power was immense, so investigating where Flame Demon Heavenly Pride had gone was not difficult at all.

Soon, they found out that the last place Flame Demon Heavenly Pride went was the Divine Fire Secret Realm.

The Divine Fire Secret Realm was a Secret Realm only accessible to cultivators below the divine level. Since a five-star Heavenly Pride wouldn't be killed by the fire spirits of the Divine Fire Secret Realm, the one who killed Flame Demon Heavenly Pride must have been another Heavenly Pride.

Immediately, their suspect was Lei Ling Heavenly Pride, the only six-star Peerless Genius on Silver Universe Star, but they quickly dismissed this speculation. According to their investigation, Lei Ling Heavenly Pride had been in seclusion ever since he returned from Mota Galaxy, and many people could vouch for him. As for Lei Ming Heavenly Pride, he had not been to the Divine Fire Secret Realm, which was easily verifiable.

After ruling out Lei Ming Heavenly Pride, they turned their attention to other Heavenly Pride and began mobilizing a large number of personnel to investigate Heavenly Pride who had visited the Divine Fire Secret Realm during that period.

Because Ye Tian didn't expect to encounter Flame Demon Heavenly Pride and get into a conflict when he previously went to the Divine Fire Secret Realm, he didn't disguise himself and entered the Divine Fire Secret Realm in his true form.

Therefore, Ye Tian was found to have entered the Divine Fire Secret Realm.

Yan Sect.

Before the Sect Leader was a file containing Ye Tian's information. A True God below was reporting: “Reporting to the Sect Leader, according to our investigation, during this period, the only Heavenly Pride who entered the Divine Fire Secret Realm was Wan Fa Heavenly Pride. He entered the Divine Fire Secret Realm, and shortly after our sect’s Flame Demon Heavenly Pride died, Wan Fa Heavenly Pride emerged. He is the prime suspect!”

The Sect Leader of Yan Sect picked up Ye Tian's file and frowned, saying, “Wan Fa Heavenly Pride only has the strength of a three-star Heavenly Pride. Although he went to Mota Galaxy and obtained a planetary birth Opportunity, his strength should have improved significantly, but at most, he’d be a four-star Heavenly Pride. How could he have killed Flame Demon Heavenly Pride?”

“Perhaps it was some kind of one-time super weapon!”

The True God below speculated.

“That is possible. From the current evidence, Wan Fa Heavenly Pride’s possibility is indeed the greatest. If he were just an Emperor-level, any True God could obliterate him, but he is a Heavenly Pride, and cultivators above the divine level cannot lay hands on him. However, none of our Yan Sect’s Emperor-level cultivators are a match for Wan Fa Heavenly Pride.” The Sect Leader of Yan Sect found himself in a difficult situation.

The True God below suggested, “Heavenly Pride can only be dealt with by Heavenly Pride. The Sect Leader can invite a Heavenly Pride to act; I’m sure there will be Heavenly Pride willing to take action.”

“Who should I ask to act? The news of our sect’s Flame Demon Heavenly Pride’s demise cannot be kept secret. Four- and five-star Heavenly Pride would definitely not dare to act, and there is only one six-star Heavenly Pride on Silver Universe Star. Given Lei Ling Heavenly Pride’s personality, he probably wouldn’t make a move.” The Sect Leader of Yan Sect shook his head.

“Sect Leader, you forgot one person. If we invite that Heavenly Pride to act, killing Wan Fa Heavenly Pride would be very easy!” the True God said.

“Are you saying…” The Sect Leader of Yan Sect realized who that person was.

One of the six-star Peerless Genius—Dark Killing Heavenly Pride, a Heavenly Pride skilled in assassination, who had previously assassinated three five-star Heavenly Pride and one recently Breakthrough six-star Peerless Genius, earning him the title of the Terminator of Heavenly Pride.

This six-star Peerless Genius was not a Heavenly Pride of Silver Universe Star, nor one of the nine major star systems’ Heavenly Pride. Therefore, he belonged to a notorious force in the Galaxy—Killing God Hall.

This six-star Peerless Genius was not a Heavenly Pride of Silver Universe Star, nor one of the nine major star systems’ Heavenly Pride. Therefore, he belonged to a notorious force in the Galaxy—Killing God Hall.

Killing God Hall had always been suppressed by the nine major star systems of the Galaxy and dared not send assassins into the nine major star systems. In recent years, they had been relatively low-key, but one person was very high-profile, and that was Dark Killing Heavenly Pride.

Dark Killing Heavenly Pride was a Peerless Genius. Even if he appeared openly on Silver Universe Star, cultivators above the divine level would not dare to attack him; this was the Human Race’s protection for Heavenly Pride.

But among the Heavenly Pride, who would dare to attack Dark Killing Heavenly Pride?

Even Lei Ling Heavenly Pride didn't dare to attack Dark Killing Heavenly Pride, after all, Lei Ling Heavenly Pride also didn't want to be constantly targeted by an assassin Heavenly Pride; that would be a lifetime of anxiety!

However, inviting Dark Killing Heavenly Pride to act would come at no small cost!

The Sect Leader of Yan Sect thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.

“Wan Fa Heavenly Pride is 100% related to this matter, and he has no background, so killing him is not a big deal. Hmph, no matter what, this matter must be accounted for to the entire Yan Sect.”

The Sect Leader of Yan Sect decided to invite Dark Killing Heavenly Pride to act, no matter the cost.

In a flash.

Half a month passed.

By this time, the news of Flame Demon Heavenly Pride’s death had completely spread throughout Tianjiao Pavilion, alarming many Heavenly Pride.

There were even rumors that Wan Fa Heavenly Pride killed Flame Demon Heavenly Pride, but few truly believed it.

Lei Ming Heavenly Pride heard the news and immediately sneered, “Can Wan Fa Heavenly Pride kill Flame Demon Heavenly Pride? How ridiculous! He thinks he’s a Peerless Genius. I wonder who spread such nonsense!”

Lei Ming Heavenly Pride didn't take the news seriously, just dismissing it as a joke.

This day.

Ye Tian was cultivating when he suddenly sensed a strong surge of hostility.

“Someone wants to deal with me?”

Ye Tian withdrew from his cultivation state, stood up, and expanded his spatial perception to check his surroundings.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian flew out, standing in mid-air.

“No one?”

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

“Eye of Insight!”

Ye Tian activated this talent.

In an instant, a young man in a black robe, holding a black sharp blade, was hidden in the distance, slowly approaching him.

And as Ye Tian's gaze fell upon him, the young man immediately knew he had been exposed.

“Wan Fa Heavenly Pride, you actually discovered me. It seems you possess a talent that can perceive stealth!”

The young man emerged from his stealth state, showing no disappointment at all.

In fact, he also knew that even if his Stealth Talent could deceive Ye Tian, it couldn't deceive the divine-level cultivators on Gourd Divine Mountain.

If he truly infiltrated halfway up the mountain, those divine-level cultivators would definitely stop him.

“If assassination fails, then kill by force!”

The young man thought to himself.

But this was Gourd Divine Mountain, where many divine-level cultivators resided, and Divine Blue Ruo was also here.

He couldn't act here; he had to leave Gourd Divine Mountain.

“Who are you? I can sense that you want to kill me?”

Ye Tian questioned.

“Indeed, I want to kill you. Do you dare to come out of Gourd Divine Mountain?”

The young man laughed loudly.

“What if I do?”

Ye Tian instantly teleported out, leaving the range of Gourd Divine Mountain.
