Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 676: Chapter 386: First Arrival at the Outer Sea

The murderous intent arose and alarmed all directions.

The assassination by the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion came quickly and left just as swiftly, yet even just a short sequence of moves, the dazzling murderous intent that burst forth still shook the entire Yu City!

From various directions within Yu County’s Inner City, the stationed places of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Hehuan Sect, Heavenly Seal Sect, and other sects, the Guardians of the Six Viscera Realm and even some Stewards of the Five Viscera Realm were nearly all startled at once, their gazes uniformly shifting towards the depths of the Yu Family, each showing a look of shock.

“Who… is this?”

“Such terrifying murderous intent. Which Path of Slaughter Grandmaster has arrived in Yu County?”

“No! It’s not just that!”

A protector of the Heavenly Seal Sect leapt up and landed on the corner of a roof, looking towards the far distance of the Inner City, his eyes somewhat horrified, “This murderous intent isn’t nearby at all. It’s from an unknown distance away, and you see that…”

He said, looking up towards the sky, his eyes revealing a hint of shock. Above the firmament, the originally clear blue sky had somehow turned densely clouded. This was the murderous intent, or rather, the will of Martial Arts, influencing the weather!

The will capable of affecting the weather within a certain range, even a Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster could not achieve this extent. Only those terrifying beings who had reached the summit of Martial Arts through ascending the Blood Exchange Realm could do so. Additionally, that earlier hint of bone-chilling killing intent, despite the vast distance, roughly perceived as if walking the road to the underworld.

In the Cold North, probably only one person.

Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion!

A horrifying existence at the pinnacle of the Path of Slaughter, any mention of his name changes colors, without a name nor a traceable origin. It’s because of the existence of the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion that the Blood Hidden Pavilion, a sect that practices the path of assassination, can overtly survive in the Cold North. Even though disciples of reputable orthodox sects sometimes die under suspicious circumstances believed to be the handwork of Blood Hidden Pavilion, no sect is willing to trouble Blood Hidden Pavilion.

It is because no sect wishes to offend Blood Hidden Pavilion to the death, even if they could completely eradicate the overt influence of Blood Hidden Pavilion, as long as the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion is still around, that is the most terrifying threat in the world!

Blood Hidden Pavilion dares to travel the path of slaughter, taking on contracts, boldly claiming there is no one they cannot kill, and the existence of their master is their backbone. Even if a Celestial Human expert isn’t afraid of the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion, there are always younger generations and disciples within their sects. Once they no longer abide by the rules, apart from those in the Blood Exchange Realm or Celestial Human beings, who else could escape an assassination by the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion?

“It turned out to be that person acting…”

“But who could have provoked that individual to take action personally?”

The Guardians and Stewards of the major sects, while shocked at the action of the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion, quickly realized there was someone worthy of the Master of the Blood Hidden Pavilion’s personal intervention. Thinking of that direction, which seemed to be the residence of the Yu Family, the answer was almost self-evident.

Chen Mu!

The Peak Master of Seven Profound Sect’s Spirit Profound Peak, the top of the world’s Grandmasters list, the tenth Qiankun Grandmaster of Da Xuan!

With this thought,

All parties were shocked!

Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion attempted to assassinate Chen Mu!

No matter the result, this news would likely spread through the Cold North within days.

…

Meanwhile.

Several figures were currently heading towards the Yu Family’s residence.

The one in the lead, clad in white, his face the same as many years before, was none other than Yan Jingqing, the Inspector of Yu County.

Following Yan Jingqing were several Stewards of the Seven Profound Sect, holding positions in the Inspectorate, along with the increasingly elderly City Lord of Yu City, Xue Huaikong, whose dense black hair was faintly tinged with grey. Following Yan Jingqing at a rapid pace, numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, almost like stirring up stormy waves.

Was that surge of murderous aura just now from the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion?

Who could have drawn out the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion to take action, and at the Yu Family residence, could it be…

His thoughts ceaselessly flashed through his mind, but he dared not speak out, even though he sensed that the murderous intent had gradually subsided, most likely having already departed, he still dared not voice discussions concerning the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion, only silently following behind Yan Jingqing.

Soon.

The group delved deep into the Yu Family’s residence, arriving beside the courtyard where Yu Jiujiang resided.

Yan Jingqing landed silently, his gaze fixing on the streets ahead, roughly perceiving the surroundings. His pupils slightly constricted, he took a deep breath, also feeling a chill on his back.

It was indeed that person’s handiwork!

He was a high-ranking practitioner on the Wind Cloud List, and had also crossed hands with grandmasters. Although he had never been targeted for assassination by the Grandmasters of the Blood Hidden Pavilion, he had encountered the Grandmaster of the Blood Hidden Pavilion in action before, and the killing intent he sensed here compared to that was like a minor witch seeing a great sorcerer.

Since it was the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion who took action, the target of the assassination must also be out of the ordinary. Moreover, since this was the Yu Family’s residence, the answer was almost self-evident, which made Yan Jingqing’s expression slightly heavy.

How terrifying was the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion, personally taking action meant a thin line between life and death. Even if Chen Mu had once repelled the old ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Yuwen Hao, Yan Jingqing’s heart was still heavily suppressed.

Chen Mu…

Chen Mu, who had once risen in Yu County, he knew him thoroughly, and also understood Chen Mu’s nature. Speaking from his heart, he truly hoped that Chen Mu would achieve perfection, ascend to the ultimate peak in the world, and become a legendary Martial Saint.

Because he knew Chen Mu came from the lower classes, harbored compassion for the common people struggling in a chaotic world, once his Martial Arts ascended to the ultimate peak, looking over the whole world, unbeatable, he would surely aim to stabilize the chaotic world, reshaping Qiankun.

And this was also the principle he had sought all his life.

He himself did not have the power to stabilize the chaotic world, and had not even seen hope in the past, but the emergence of Chen Mu let him see a glimmer of light, especially since Chen Mu had reached the level of Grandmaster, only a step away from reaching the highest rankings, that glimmer of light seemed to have completely pierced through the dark clouds, illuminating the world’s mountains and rivers.
