Realms In The Firmament

The Hall of Returning Nature.

Meng Wuzhen had been so upset.

He was upset not only because the Monarch’s Hall killed lots of his men, or the House of Chaotic Storms and the Xie League were winning the game.

He was upset about something else…

There was a mysterious assassin in the Limitless Ocean!

The assassin was powerful and hard to track down. He was like a phantom. He only killed the men of the Hall of Returning Nature who were lone outside!

As he attacked, he killed!

The Hall of Returning Nature did a lot of work to track him down, but the information was limited. He only killed people of the Hall of Returning Nature!

Since the assassin was against the Hall of Returning Nature, the Hall of Returning Nature had to fight back. In fact, the Hall of Returning Nature had arranged dozens of traps to get him. The assassin seemed to have a great precaution. Nothing ever got him!

The traps didn’t get the assassin, but it didn’t mean he wasn’t there. Every time when a trap was dismissed, somebody got assassinated!

In the beginning, people under level eight of the Saint Origin Stage would be attacked. After about two months, people of the Immortality Stage got attacked…

The strongest among the victims was at the fourth level of the Immortality Stage!

There was a dead body covered by a white cloth in front of Meng Wuzhen. He looked angry!

‘Who is that bloody assassin? Why does he assassinate my men?’

‘Does he belong to the Monarch’s Hall? Or the House of Chaotic Storms? Or the Xie League? Or the Great Ye Army?’

‘His moves… It is thorough… Perfect timing… That is a great assassin. He should be famous… Why haven’t we heard of him before?’

Looking at the list of the names of those who were killed… Meng Wuzhen’s advisers came up with a conclusion. Even the top ten assassins in the Human Realm Upon Heavens weren’t that good!

When did such a powerful assassin come to the martial world?

Nobody knew who he was. Nobody saw his face. They weren’t so sure about the gender of the assassin…

Famous assassins always lived in the shadow… This man came up against the Hall of Returning Nature… It was weird…

Meng Wuzhen thought a lot. He had set up many traps, but none of them worked… Day after day, his men were dying!

Who was the guy?

…

There was a tree in the woods. It wouldn’t catch any attention.

In the shadow…

A dark shadow was sticking on the tree. As the wind shook the tree branch, the shadow moved along as if it was a part of the tree.

Even if people walked over and looked up, they wouldn’t notice the man on the tree!

It was such a brilliant insidious skill!

Even if Ye Xiao was here, he might not be able to do any better.

The black shadow was doing an excellent job of hiding himself!

Many people dressed in the clothes of the Hall of Returning Nature were searching for something right under the black shadow.

There were some spiritual beasts that were good at searching…

The black shadow was so silent like a part of the tree.

The searching team of the Hall of Returning Nature almost searched everywhere, and they were moving away.

One man seemed to be lost in thoughts. He was walking slowly.

The dark shadow hadn’t moved a bit.

The people of the Hall of Returning Nature were gone, the dark shadow was still quiet.

After a while, a few men approached. The dark shadow wasn’t moving. The next searching team started searching, and the dark shadow wasn’t moving…

After four searching teams went over, somebody complained. “How on earth does such a forest hide any man? I think that assassin has long gone… We are wasting time here…”

The others nodded to agree.

After a while, they split up and then gathered up again. Nothing was found.

“He’s gone. Let’s move next.” A man sighed.

“Yes!”

Everybody moved.

The black shadow wasn’t moving. He watched them leave.

After a long time, another shadow appeared. He sighed and then disappeared.

This man was the one who took charge of the searching work.

The black shadow wasn’t moving.

When another man of the Hall of Returning Nature showed up, the dark shadow moved!

There was a flash of cold light!

The man didn’t have time to react before his throat was cut open. The only thing he saw before he died was a blurry image of a man dashing over him.

It was so fast. It didn’t even make any air flows.

The dark shadow flashed over.

The man of the Hall of Returning Nature staggered and then fell down. As he fell, his head ran away over a hundred feet…

– Shoot shoot shoot… –

A few other people got over there quickly.

“The assassin! He’s here!”

Somebody was shouting.

The dark shadow had long gone…

Behind the hill, there was a river. Somebody appeared, and the water rippled… The dark shadow disappeared again.

He took a bucket of water and put it in his space ring.

In the sky, somebody sighed. Nobody heard the sigh.

“Wenren Chuchu, how long haven’t you drunk…”

…

“You failed to catch the assassin!” Meng Wuzhen almost spat out blood.

He looked at his men, who were frustrated. He felt helpless.

All these men together, searching again and again, got nothing. He was losing his people!

He was having a headache dealing with such an excellent assassin.

While Meng Wuzhen was upset about it and thinking about his next move…

“Master.” The Jade Phoenix walked over. “A letter from the House of Chaotic Storms.”

“The House of Chaotic Storms?” Meng Wuzhen said, “Bai Chen?”

The Jade Phoenix said, “Wan of the Clouds delivered it.”

Meng Wuzhen said, “Let her in!”
