"It was Ghost Spear Xian Yutong? You actually took down Ghost Spear Xian Yutong?" After recognizing the true face of the assassin in black, Fengh Qingyue’s expression suddenly became shockingly astounded.

"What, is this Ghost Spear Xian Yutong famous?" Ye Zhen had not been in Qinglan Martial Capital for long and was not well acquainted with the famed martial artists within Qinglan Martial Capital.

"More than famous, extremely famous! Three years ago, one of the Eight Great Protectors of Heavenly Net Sect, Fann Wuming, who had reached the Fifth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, died under the assassination by Ghost Spear Xian Yutong.

Ghost Spear Xian Yutong specializes in assassination, excelling in speed and also proficient in the Disguise Technique. Over the past decade, he has murdered more than ten Vein Forging Realm powerhouses and countless Soul Sea Realm martial artists under his hands in Qinglan Martial Capital, being considered a top enemy by all major forces. Even our Sun and Moon Divine Sect lost a Hall Master to him, and after multiple attempts to encircle him failed, costing us two members, our sect too gave up."

As Fengh Qingyue spoke, Ye Zhen responded,

"Is he a professional assassin?"

"Master Fengh, are you saying that this Ghost Spear Xian Yutong was hired to assassinate me?" No matter how renowned Ghost Spear Xian Yutong was, that was the issue Ye Zhen was most concerned about.

"Exactly, Ghost Spear Xian Yutong is indeed a professional assassin, he often took on assassination jobs previously, and although his fees were extremely high, he never failed, which is why many sought his services.

However, it isn’t necessarily true that Ghost Spear Xian Yutong came to assassinate you because he was hired!" Fengh Qingyue said.

"Not hired by someone, Master Fengh, I should have no enmity with this Ghost Spear Xian Yutong."

"You don’t have personal enmity with Ghost Spear Xian Yutong, but you are at enmity with Yan Cong, the Stars Tower Master from the True Spirit Domain."

Fengh Qingyue’s words left Ye Zhen stunned, his face full of confusion as he looked at Fengh Qingyue, "Yan Cong is related to this Xian Yutong?"

"More than three years ago, before Ghost Spear Xian Yutong assassinated Fann Wuming, one of the eight major protectors of the Heavenly Net Sect, he had secretly joined the Inner Guards Hall of the Stars Tower, holding a not insignificant position."

"Ghost Spear Xian Yutong joined the Stars Tower?" Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly changed, realizing that this was probably the only explanation for why Ghost Spear Xian Yutong would come to assassinate him.

"Yes, although Yan Cong, the Stars Tower Master from the True Spirit Domain, kept it extremely secret and even changed Xian Yutong’s identity when he joined the Stars Tower.

But our spies from Sun and Moon Divine Sect are everywhere! It didn’t take long for us to learn of this news, but we just didn’t announce it," Fengh Qingyue said.

Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Zhen acted swiftly, with lightning speed, he grabbed the storage ring from Ghost Spear Xian Yutong’s body, and with a movement of his Divine Sense, his face immediately turned extremely sour.

"It really is... Yan Cong!"

In the storage ring of Ghost Spear Xian Yutong, Ye Zhen found a Star Plate set with Red Jade, which was a level higher than Ye Zhen’s Green Jade Star Plate.

"What a pity..."

Looking at the Star Plate that Ye Zhen drew out, Fengh Qingyue sighed softly, "If we had captured Ghost Spear Xian Yutong alive and then found this Star Plate, it would probably have caused Yan Cong quite a headache for a while. The trouble with Ghost Spear Xian Yutong is no small matter."

Ye Zhen silently nodded.

Now, with the death of Ghost Spear Xian Yutong, a Star Plate alone couldn’t prove much. Although the Star Plates of Stars Tower were rare, they weren’t undetectable.

Later on, the Stars Tower might even counter-accuse, claiming that Ye Zhen had killed a member of their tower and then framed them.

"However, the fact that you were able to kill Ghost Spear Xian Yutong is already quite an achievement! Even I am not confident about capturing him alive! By the way, how did you manage to deflect Xian Yutong’s Ghost Spear? That move was simply divine; I still can’t figure out how you did it!" Fengh Qingyue asked.

"This....." Ye Zhen was somewhat troubled. Normally, a martial artist freely asking another for their secrets is a big taboo. Had it been someone else, Ye Zhen would have either slapped them or retorted coldly.

However, facing Fengh Qingyue, to whom he owed his life, he could not do that.

Finding himself in a difficult position, Ye Zhen decided to just go for it. Once said, it’s out there, and the Geomagnetic Field is not avoidable just by knowing about it.

"Master Fengh, mainly I know a bit about the geomagnetic....."

"Hm? Not good, trouble is coming, let’s go!" Almost simultaneously, Fengh Qingyue sharply exclaimed.

Ye Zhen looked in the direction pointed by Fengh Qingyue, and saw a martial artist clad in the robe of the Longevity Sect just tossing a Talisman Communication into the sky.

As soon as the Talisman Communication reached the sky, it burst into two, with one beam of Talisman Light shooting towards the south of Qinglan Martial City, while the other burst into two large characters flashing with purple light in the sky - Soul Hook!

"Soul Hook Ledger?" Ye Zhen instinctively cried out.

"Hurry, let’s go!"

With a slight tug, Fengh Qingyue pulled Ye Zhen and they both soared away. But just as they were about to set off, a flash of light burst from Ye Zhen’s palm, and he immediately stowed away the body of Ghost Spear Xian Yutong into his storage ring.

Then, Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue used their Body Skills to swiftly head towards the direction of the Heavenly Spirit Auction House. Occasionally glancing back, Ye Zhen saw streaks of light gathering towards the direction of the two large characters "Soul Hook" flashing in purple light in the sky.

Only then did Ye Zhen realize the horror encapsulated within those two characters "Soul Hook."

Because in just those dozen or so moments, more than twenty streaks of light had surged toward the direction where the word "Soul Hook" flickered. According to the vague sensations of Ye Zhen, more than half of those streaks of light emitted the presence of martial artists from the Vein Forging Realm.

"The reason the Soul Hook Ledger of the Longevity Sect is so formidable is mainly because it carries huge bounties. Ye Zhen, your bounty amounts to 200,000 mid-grade Spirit Crystals, enough to tempt many martial artists, especially since your cultivation is only at the First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm.

Moreover, it won’t be long before the martial artists of the Longevity Sect will come to assassinate you!"

While running, Fengh Qingyue explained the matters of the Longevity Sect’s Soul Hook Ledger to Ye Zhen, causing Ye Zhen’s brows to furrow lightly.

This is really troublesome.

If it were so, every time I step out, I would be discovered by the disciples of the Longevity Sect, who would then send out Soul Hook Talismans. Wouldn’t Ye Zhen be forced to remain hidden within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect?

Looking at the streaks of light gathering in the sky, Ye Zhen’s frown deepened.

Originally, when the Vermilion Bird Hall Master of the Longevity Sect, Duan Yingnian, threatened to write Ye Zhen’s name on the Soul Hook Ledger, Ye Zhen hadn’t cared much. But now, Ye Zhen realized that the Soul Hook Ledger was his biggest problem.

If he didn’t resolve this, he would be like a street rat in Qinglan Martial City—whenever he showed his face publicly, and the Soul Hook Talisman Light was infused, there would always be people in the world who believed they could earn the bounty.

"Master Fengh, I heard that the Sun and Moon Divine Guards’ Second Commander, Chen Changxing, has also been listed on the Longevity Sect’s Soul Hook Ledger for many years and still remains unscathed. How did he manage it?" Ye Zhen thought of Sunx Changxing, whose name had hung on the Longevity Sect’s Soul Hook Ledger for many years yet came through unharmed.

"He fought his way out!"

"Chen Changxing killed enough of the Longevity Sect’s people to instill fear, even the greedy ones were terrified, so naturally, no one dares to make a move! If it weren’t for Chen Changxing’s precedent, just the name on the Longevity Sect’s Soul Hook Ledger would be enough to scare away many martial artists."

"A bloody path? Alright, I understand!"

A terrifying evil Qi flashed through Ye Zhen’s eyes.

Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue moved swiftly, darting through the streets and alleys, throwing off a group of martial artists chasing them from the sky.

However, before long, with the addition of more than a dozen Longevity Sect martial artists, the group intent on earning the huge bounty found their command.

Approaching thirty individuals split into three groups to envelop and chase from a distance. Just as they were about to catch up, Ye Zhen was considering whether to use the geomagnetic field to speed up, when Fengh Qingyue suddenly halted.

"Alright, we’ve arrived."

Following closely, Ye Zhen halted as well but nearly stumbled over Fengh Qingyue.

Bang!

A mass of purple Spiritual Power suddenly surged from Fengh Qingyue’s back, then fiercely collided with Ye Zhen’s chest, not only abruptly stopping Ye Zhen but also sending him staggering back several steps, nearly leaving him breathless.

"Master Fengh, why stop here?" Ye Zhen asked, rubbing his chest, looking around; when he looked up, he saw five dazzling characters not far away.

"Heavenly Spirit Auction House!"

"Oh, I understand!"

Seeing the characters for "Heavenly Spirit Auction House" nearby, Ye Zhen realized why they had stopped there.

Today was the day of the Grand Treasure Auction at the Heavenly Spirit Auction House—those who caused trouble nearby were essentially challenging the Heavenly Spirit Auction House.

"Ye Zhen, this time, let’s see where you can run!"

Almost simultaneously, the roar of Duan Yingnian, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master of the Longevity Sect, echoed through the sky.

In the midst of his roar, a tall figure surged forward, his palm thrusting out as a huge black Spirit Shuttle, spinning with extreme might, hammered down directly towards Ye Zhen’s head.

As it spun, the black Spirit Shuttle stirred up the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy in the void, creating a massive vortex of Primordial Energy as it hammered down, making the void tremble and all martial artists scatter out of the way.

"Primal Spirit God-Destroying Shuttle!"

"A mid-grade Spirit Artifact, the Primal Spirit God-Destroying Shuttle!"

From all around, exclamations filled the air; many nearby martial artists, as if seeing something terrifying, hurriedly scattered and retreated.

At that very moment, with the Primal Spirit God-Destroying Shuttle locking onto him, Ye Zhen found it difficult to even breathe. Almost simultaneously, the Purple Spirit within Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein, which had always been quiet, suddenly surged wildly, sensing the impending danger.

"You have only one chance to imprint your Divine Sense on me, use your arm as the medium to draw on my power. Even though it will shatter your arm, it can save your life!" A Divine Soul message from Purple Spirit suddenly entered Ye Zhen’s mind.

"Any later, and even I can’t save you!"

In that moment of life or death, Ye Zhen’s gaze turned towards Fengh Qingyue. At the same time, a Demon Cloud Fruit silently slipped into Ye Zhen’s palm.
