tremble with fear

"How did he know we had split up?" the Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist asked, feeling puzzled.

Was that assassin just now not afraid of them setting an ambush?

If ten Martial Kings were to surround and kill him, as long as they managed to encircle him, no matter how strong that assassin was, he would undoubtedly die.

He couldn't figure it out, but now was not the time to think about such things. They still had eight Martial Kings remaining. As long as they didn't split up and remained cautious, they shouldn't be assassinated again.

"Let's hurry inside and find a spacious place to set an ambush."

The Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist looked at the Passage; it was narrow and not suitable for an encirclement, and there was a possibility of being picked off one by one by the assassin.

The Sturdy Big Man was clearly terrified. Hearing the Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist's words, he quickly agreed, "Right, Big Brother is right. We should find a spacious place."

Under the lead of the Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist, the Martial Artists of the Iron Luo Sect accelerated their pace and soon arrived at a spacious hall.

"What is this place? What is it used for?" Looking at the hall, everyone was stunned. It didn't look like a place to store treasure; instead, it looked like a place for living.

But who would live under the high tower? There were so many rooms above, so why open up a secret chamber here?

Could it be out of fear that others would breach the Secret Realm? And to have a place to hide?

This was obviously impossible. How could the Secret Realm be breached? Moreover, if the Secret Realm were breached, the entire Secret Realm would belong to the other party; what would be the point of hiding underground?

"You've arrived. Did you kill the assassin from earlier?"

Jue Xin walked out from a cabinet to the side and asked, "Do you know who he is and why he wants to kill me?"

Just now, many Martial Kings had their backs to the door and were close to it, but the assassin hadn't targeted any of them; he had specifically targeted Jue Xin. Jue Xin knew then that he was the assassin's target.

However, he shouldn't have any enemies. In the Great Xia Imperial City, he had focused on Alchemy peacefully and had never left the Imperial City. Could it be someone sent by a competitor?

But that shouldn't be it, right? He only sold some Medicinal Pills. The entire Imperial City was so large, and he wasn't the only one selling Medicinal Pills. Could it be that some Power wanted to kill all the Alchemists in the Imperial City?

That was obviously impossible!

Seeing Jue Xin come out and start asking questions, the Sturdy Big Man immediately became furious: "Who on earth did you offend? Do you know I was almost killed by the assassin just now? The assassin bumped into me, and my chest still hurts now."

"The assassin didn't die? Eleven Martial Kings couldn't kill him? Is a Martial King who has grasped Momentum really that powerful?" Jue Xin muttered to himself, his heart filled with fear.

Generally, Martial Kings have enough Spiritual Qi and have reached the required Realm, but they haven't grasped Momentum, so they cannot make a Breakthrough from the Martial King Realm.

Basically, all Martial Kings first accumulate Spiritual Qi and then slowly Cultivate, relying on luck and Comprehension Ability to comprehend Momentum.

Once they comprehend Momentum, a Martial King will immediately make a Breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm.

However, a Martial Artist who comprehends Momentum first but lacks enough Spiritual Qi to make a Breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm is extremely rare. These are Martial Artists with extremely high Comprehension Ability; such Martial Artists are Geniuses among Martial Kings and are destined to become Martial Emperors.

An Expert destined to become a Martial Emperor came to act as an assassin, specifically to kill him.

Even if he didn't kill him now, as long as he waits until his Spiritual Qi is sufficient, this Martial King will definitely be able to advance to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Although accumulating Spiritual Qi at the Martial King Realm is quite a long process, no matter how long it takes, it is just a matter of time and persistence; one day, it will be achieved.

Offending an Expert destined to become a Martial Emperor is terrifying just to think about.

If the assassin becomes a Martial Emperor and wants to kill him, he will definitely not be able to escape, unless he never leaves the Imperial City again.
