Chapter 324: Chapter 136: The Assault Begins

"That place, is where the Heavenly Demon’s Demon Envoy currently resides," said Yun Wuyue, pointing to a tall building not far away.

Under the obscure moonlight, Yun Wuyue still wore a white palace dress, looking nothing like someone here to assassinate another, but rather as if she was out for a spring outing.

Over her face was still a white veil, which did not seem to indicate any intention to conceal her identity.

However, Qing Yu, with his sharp and insightful eyes, had long noticed the difference in Yun Wuyue’s stature compared to before. She appeared slightly taller and more slender, with subtle adjustments made to her figure, resulting in a significant change. Even those familiar with her would find it difficult to discern Yun Wuyue’s true identity.

It was rather because they were familiar with her that they could notice the differences in Yun Wuyue’s physique from her own, more firmly denying her identity.

The biggest change in Yun Wuyue lay in her face. Under the effect of the "Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill," the veil scarcely made a difference; Qing Yu could see that Yun Wuyue’s current face was entirely different from her real one.

’It seems that Yun Wuyue must also possess a method similar to my Disguise Technique.’

Qing Yu did not detect any traces of a Human Skin Mask on Yun Wuyue’s face, indicating that, like him, she was changing her features by shifting her muscles and bones.

"This place is a stronghold of the Yin Demon Sect; to curry favor with the Heavenly Demon Palace, Gu Ningyu offered this place for the Demon Envoy to stay temporarily. Little did she expect that by doing so, it would enable us to easily find our way here and eliminate the Demon Envoy," Yun Wuyue said with a detached voice mixed with a hint of sarcasm.

’It seems she holds a deep grudge against that Gu Ningyu,’ Qing Yu assessed silently.

Having collaborated with Yun Wuyue for some time now, Qing Yu had never heard her so openly reveal the name of a Yin Demon Sect member. Now that Yun Wuyue was recklessly mentioning Gu Ningyu’s name, it seemed she regarded her as good as dead. Dead people don’t need their names kept secret.

"When do we make our move?" Yun Wuyue asked.

"Just wait a little longer, we are waiting for one more person," estimated Qing Yu, gauging the time.

Just then, a dark figure approached from afar.

The person was dressed in black, with a black scarf wrapped around the head, revealing only a pair of eyes, and wearing a black hat, obscuring the gaze.

This pitch-black individual seemed to stroll leisurely, but with each step, he crossed several meters, and in just a few breaths’ time, he had already arrived at Qing Yu’s side.

"Young Master Yu, you’ve been waiting," he said.

His voice was hoarse, giving no hint of his age. No one could guess that this was the famous "Little Buddha" Monk Shi Jue of the martial world.

At this moment, not only was Shi Jue’s attire completely different from before, but even his habitual way of speaking, his tone, and the Buddhist sayings like "Amitabha" and "Well said" that one might expect from a Buddhist, were not once uttered by Shi Jue in this guise.

It was as if he became a completely different person, transforming from a little Buddhist monk into a ruthless character of the Demon Path. In Monk Shi Jue’s own words, "No form of self, no form of others, no form of living beings, no form of life. Being formless, one can assume any form."

For Shi Jue, who had such enlightenment, revealing himself in another image was as simple as changing a desktop on a computer.

Qing Yu had intended for Monk Shi Jue to take the fall, but unexpectedly, Shi Jue had switched to a completely different image. Indeed, he was as cunning as a ghost.

"Dragon Chief, who is he?" Yun Wuyue asked directly.

"He is the helper for this mission."

Shi Jue, too, responded with a hoarse voice and a grating laugh, "I am called Bitter Poison, pleased to meet you, Two Dragon Heads."

A bizarre and unpleasant laughter, like the screeching of a night owl, penetrated the air. Yun Wuyue slightly furrowed his brow but did not continue speaking. Among the Demonic People, there were many more things more terrifying and venomous than this; although Yun Wuyue felt some disgust, he was not unaccustomed to it.

"Everything is almost in place; get ready to make a move."

Qing Yu’s words spurred Yun Wuyue and Monk Shi Jue to sharpen their spirits and adjust their states to their optimal condition, preparing for the fierce battle to come.

Their opponent was an envoy from the Heavenly Demon Palace—a source of the Demon Path. Although the three of them were the foremost of their young generation and even stronger than some of the older experts, they did not dare to take this lightly.

"Mingyue Xin, confirm one last time, there’s no one from the Heavenly Demon Palace at the True Pill Realm?"

"Of course; if there were True Pill Realm masters among them, our mission would be akin to suicide. I’ve confirmed repeatedly, there are no True Pill Realm masters."

"In that case, let’s do this."

With a flick of his finger, a gentle breeze brushed against a certain area below.

After that, nearly a hundred dark figures silently advanced towards the brightly lit tall building.

However, the moment they came within twenty meters of the tall building, sounds of battle began to emerge.

Under the dim moonlight, green and purple ghost hands broke through the earth, grasping at the ankles of the Exorcism Sword Guards walking on the ground.

"Oh dear, it seems we’ve been discovered from the start. The assassins of the Azure Dragon Association don’t seem to be very capable," Monk Shi Jue said with an odd and peculiar tone.

This guy seemed to have completely switched his persona to one of the Demonic People; his strange way of speaking was completely different from when he was dressed as a monk.

Hearing the weird Nuoyu, Qing Yu was not annoyed; after all, the foundation of the Azure Dragon Association’s assassins lay there—they were all brainwashed cannon fodder, and it was somewhat luxurious to train them in stealth techniques. The true utility of the assassins from the Azure Dragon Association lay in combat.

Furthermore, with the "Circulation of the Six Voids Technique" that Qing Yu was practicing now, how could he be unaware of the monsters underneath the ground? Yun Wuyue had also mentioned this before the action.

These Exorcism Sword Guards were merely meant to startle the snake.

"The walking corpses trained by the Heavenly Demon Palace’s Shiyin Hall, Gong Ziyu, how do you plan to deal with them?" Monk Shi Jue asked, laughing eerily.

"You seem to know a lot," Qing Yu said.

Monk Shi Jue continued to laugh bizarrely, not replying.

The Heavenly Demon Palace, for some reason, appeared only when the world was in great chaos. The Martial Arts and abnormal skills they cultivated often promoted the death of living beings and the occurrence of turmoil.

The Shiyin Hall specialized in controlling dead bodies to create walking corpses, spreading Corpse Poison and causing epidemics to foster disasters.

"Walking corpses cannot stop us."

With Qing Yu’s words, a series of deafening explosions echoed from below, numerous flames lighting up the dark night with spots of brightness.

"These are the concealed Firearms of the Azure Dragon Association, right? Truly formidable," Yun Wuyue said, observing the frequent flashes of light before him.

These Firearms, though incapable of harming a Divine Origin Realm Martial Artist like her, could inflict fatal damage on those at the Innate Realm. The key was that using these Firearms required no cultivation; with a bit of training, one could use them easily.

As they spoke, the Fire Dragon had cleared countless walking corpses buried underground, and within twenty meters of the tall building, the foul smell of burnt flesh was everywhere. There were corpses of walking corpses and Exorcism Sword Guards alike.
