Chapter 618: Chapter 617: The Person Behind the Scenes

"Die!" The moment he drew his sword, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters, who had calm eyes before, suddenly turned vicious and unrivaled. Murderous intent roared out of him like an actual storm, fusing perfectly with the blade.

This single slash could instantly kill a world-class power who had stepped into the Saint Realm!

So terrifying were the assassins of the Blood Killing Sect with their Heavenly Characters!

"Hmm!?"

But in the next instant, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters froze.

Time and space seemed to halt at that moment.

His blade was only an inch away from Ye Xuan’s neck.

But it could not advance any further.

The vicious look that filled his eyes was replaced by astonishment.

It met Ye Xuan’s tranquil gaze head-on.

From start to finish, Ye Xuan’s expression never changed.

Calm and nonchalant, as if he did not consider his opponent significant at all.

A tempest of shock and awe rose in the heart of Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters.

This guy was off!

Very off!

In that moment, he even felt as if he were brought into a different world.

Too terrifying!

"Huh?!!"

At that moment, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters suddenly widened his eyes, his pupils shrinking rapidly, watching in disbelief at something behind Ye Xuan.

Behind Ye Xuan, a colossal phantom was quickly taking shape.

An unspeakable terror oozed out, directly intimidating them.

In that instant, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters felt his soul tremble, his body uncontrollably seized by an indescribable fear.

That fear made the blade in the hand of Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters tremble and slowly move away, putting more and more distance between the edge and Ye Xuan’s neck.

As it moved further away from Ye Xuan’s neck, the blade dropped to the ground.

And Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters knelt down before Ye Xuan, trembling.

It was clear that Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters had no wish to kneel, but the terrifying pressure left no room for resistance.

He could only inch by inch kneel before Ye Xuan.

At this moment, Ye Dong and the others beside him also came to their senses, feeling a cold sweat break out on their backs.

That instant, when Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters made his move, they hadn’t even had time to react, as his blade had come within three inches of Ye Xuan.

If it had been any faster, Ye Xuan’s head might have been ’relocated.’

This had utterly terrified Ye Dong and the others.

Yet the scene before them allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief while their respect for Ye Xuan deepened.

The young master had truly become more and more terrifying.

Facing the top-notch assassin of the Blood Killing Sect with Heavenly Characters, he had subdued him in an instant, making him kneel right there and then!

This level of power was truly frightening.

It was completely beyond their reach.

Of course, they were unaware of the events that had unfolded recently in the Demon Realm of the Mo family.

If they had known, they probably would not have been so surprised.

Even the Sovereigns of the Demon Realm could not withstand the suppression of Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul. What was a mere assassin of the Heavenly Characters in comparison?

Ye Xuan looked down indifferently at Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters and spoke slowly, "Shall I find out myself, or will you tell me?"

At this moment, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters was subdued to the point of bleeding from his seven orifices, looking even more ferocious. He lay prostrate at Ye Xuan’s feet, his body trembling incessantly as if he was still struggling.

He had no idea what kind of monster he was facing.

Just one look had made him kneel down.

What the hell was the point of an assassination now?

It didn’t matter if it were him or even if the most top-notch assassin among the Heavenly Characters came, they most likely wouldn’t stand a chance, either.

Perhaps, only the godly assassins of the Seven Killings Sect, elusive as they were, might have a fighting chance.

However, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters knew the rules of the Blood Killing Sect all too well. No matter how fearsome the enemy, after a failed attempt, one absolutely must not divulge any information about the client. Otherwise, they would be expelled from the sect, followed by being hunted down by the sect’s assassins.

Until death!

Faced with the terror of this young man, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters feared the Blood Killing Sect even more.

Being part of it, he was even more aware of its horrifying aspects.

If he were to be expelled and hunted down by the Blood Killing Sect, it’d mean his life was essentially over.

Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters had no courage to face such a future.

Thus, Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters clenched his teeth and refused to speak, no matter what.

Seeing that Number Forty-Nine of the Heavenly Characters remained silent, Ye Xuan smiled lightly and said, "I know what you’re afraid of. Rest assured, whether you speak or not doesn’t really matter. In the end, I know who sent you."

"Additionally, the Blood Killing Sect will also disappear soon."

Having said that, Ye Xuan reached out with his right hand, which surged with Dao Patterns, turning into a pure white jade-colored hand.

Despite the fierce struggle of Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine, Ye Xuan’s right hand reached towards the back of Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine’s head.

A startling occurrence took place, Ye Xuan’s right hand actually passed directly through the back of Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine’s head and extended into his mind!

That scene, even Ye Dong and others, couldn’t help but shudder.

Such a technique was truly frightening.

As Ye Xuan’s right hand extended into the back of Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine’s head, Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine’s body suddenly trembled violently and became rigid, unable to move.

A moment later, Ye Xuan suddenly yanked, seemingly grabbing something and forcefully pulled it out.

Boom!

At that moment, Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his complexion as pale as death.

At this moment, he felt a section of his memory had disappeared.

"What have you done..."

Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine looked at Ye Xuan’s jade-like hand, his face extremely unsightly.

Ye Xuan crushed the ball of memory, closed his eyes to probe for a while, and then muttered, "It’s not surprising at all, Medicine Pavilion, Long Family, and... the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty."

From this segment of Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine’s memory, Ye Xuan had already figured out who the employer was.

There were three parties.

Medicine Pavilion, Long Family.

And one more, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty!

The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, the top overlord of the East Desolation Domain, had absolute top-tier strength within the entire East Desolation Domain.

Even the Mo Family might be slightly inferior to the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

And the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty was the largest dynasty in the entire East Desolation Domain.

It commanded over a hundred dynasties and several hundred Upper Countries!

It dominated half of the Southern territory of the East Desolation Domain.

Even the Medicine Pavilion was within the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

As for the likes of Purple Flame Mountain, Tiger Evil Sect, Qingliu Mountain, and Seven Killings Sect, they were all forces within the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

Why would the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty make a move?

Well, there’s a reason for that.

First of all, the relationship between the Mo Family and the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty had always been somewhat tense.

Add to that, the Medicine Pavilion and the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty were family, ultimately belonging to the same clan; hence during the conflict between Master Refined Dragon of the Medicine Pavilion and Ye Xuan, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty took the opportunity to intervene.

This was also why the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty made its move.

The real person who sought out the Blood Killing Sect was someone from the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

However, naturally, there was also the involvement of the Divine Dragon Azure Sea Long Family and the Medicine Pavilion.

As for this, Ye Xuan was not surprised.

When he left the Mo Family Divine City, besides mentioning the Long Family and the Medicine Pavilion, Mo Yunchui focused on talking about the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

All along, the Mo Family and the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty did not get along well.

That relationship was even worse than the hostility between the Long Family and the Ye Family.

And Ye Xuan, being Mo Yunchui’s lifesaver and being close to the Mo Family, had become widely known throughout the East Desolation Domain.

For this reason, the involvement of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty seemed justified.

But to Ye Xuan, it gave a different impression.

"There really are quite a few people seeking death," Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.

Looking down at Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine lying on the ground, powerless and full of pain, Ye Xuan spoke calmly, "Do you wish to die?"

Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine clenched his teeth and said firmly, "Just kill me."

Though he had lost that segment of memory, he was no fool. Piecing together the cause and effect, he knew Ye Xuan had stolen that segment of memory from him.

If he didn’t die, Ye Xuan knew the information anyway.

And once the Blood Killing Sect found out, an endless hunt would await him.

"Wanting to die is simple, but since you were ordered to assassinate me, I won’t let you die so easily."

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently and gently shook his right hand, directly stunning Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine into unconsciousness while sealing his meridians.

Having done all this, Ye Xuan gestured to Ye Xi at his side.

"Xi, throw him into a city and then spread the news of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty’s assassination attempt on me," Ye Xuan instructed.

Since Tian Zi Number Forty-Nine was so afraid, let him step into that phase then.

Soon, those hunting him wouldn’t just be the Blood Killing Sect.

The Mo Family.

The Ye Family.

They would all make a move.
