Chapter 799: Chapter 42 Assassination【2 in 1】_2

"Stop, you thief!" Two Town Star Island Elders quickly pursued, individually unleashing their Magical Artifacts and Divine Abilities, illuminating the surroundings with intense light.

However, despite being targeted by all the attacks, the Black Dagger didn’t hesitate and blinked through a thousand feet in an instant, eventually turning blurry and disappearing into the distant sky.

It left no trace of ever being there!

Meanwhile, many more Town Star Island members gathered around Hong Zhenyuan, shouting "Island Master!", "Father!", "..."

A chorus of shouts rang out. It took the combined strength of several cultivators to catch his falling body, yet they still struggled to hold him. Only when more than ten individuals managed to pull together were they barely able to stop the descent.

"Father!" Hong Jufeng rushed forward, his hand grasped by Hong Zhenyuan.

"Er...ah..."

A bloody Hong Zhenyuan held his son’s hand, his eyes filled with scattered light and an expression of disbelief and refusal. Despite being a notorious figure in the Eastern Sea, he hadn’t expected to meet such a sudden end.

As things stood, he squeezed out the last of his breath, barely managing to utter two words before falling silent.

"Seven Kills."

...

"To repay the killing I’ve committed, I’ll offer my prayers and earn merit."

In the ancient and quiet temple, there was a charming child in monk robes who appeared to be just over ten years old. Despite not having his hair ordained, his pure and handsome face bore an innocuous smile.

Behind him stood a young man, dressed in black, half of his face bloody, his eyes still brimming with unrelenting ferocity and resentment.

These two _ Chu Yi and Li Jiantong _ hailed from the Sacred Mountain of the North Region.

Chu Yi was kneeling on the ground with hands clasped together, bowing his head in solemn reverence.

Li Jiantong seemed unimpressed, "How much can one merit from such a simple act?"

"Every bit counts," replied Chu Yi, standing up after completing his prayers, only then asking, "Did the plan go smoothly?"

"Smooth enough. After thirteen days of ambush, the opportunity finally presented itself," Li Jiantong replied, "one strike and his life was taken."

"Isn’t it interesting that he was trying to summon his mount because of some islands taken by Fuyao Country," Chu Yi shared, "and the catalyst for this event was Shu Mountain."

"And the complete Seven Kills legacy you’ve cultivated was also found in the Law Protection Hall of Shu Mountain."

"Including me..."

Chu Yi exited the temple and stood on top of the Sacred Mountain blanketed by pure snow. Looking skyward, he sighed, "We’re still reaping his kindness..."

"Your dear Senior Brother?" Li Jiantong asked.

An assassin couldn’t easily kill a Seventh Realm cultivator unless the assassin was also a Seventh Realm cultivator.

Since ascending the Sacred Mountain, under Chu Yi’s command, the Mountain Tribe had settled down. Chu Yi gave Li Jiantong a legacy, encouraging him to diligently cultivate, transforming from a warrior to an assassin.

Li Jiantong had demonic descendant bloodline, and before he fully transformed into a demon, his cultivation talent was considerably high. Not only did his cultivation rapidly progress, mastering Divine Skills was also easier for him. Thus, he was able to transition successfully in no time.

"The skills of my Senior Brother are enough for me to learn in a lifetime," Chu Yi sighed and continued, "Because I can’t learn all of his skills, I often have to resort to some conspiracies and calculations."

"This is much more convenient." Li Jiantong chuckled, "One by one, we’ll kill them all, and no one can compete with us."

"You weren’t like this before, you were brave and clever when leading the Mountain Tribe on your own." Chu Yi said, smiling gently.

Li Jiantong fell silent.

He realized that lately, he had tended to follow others without much thought for his own actions. It seemed that he had become too accustomed to following others, he had lost the habit of independent thinking.

This was indeed a terrifying development.

But he couldn’t deny, that when he was leading the Mountain Tribe, he was cautious and careful, constantly living on the edge, each day was exhausting. But ever since he started ’sharing a brain’ with Chu Yi, he felt much lighter.

Perhaps embracing a superior mind was more comforting than relying simply on might.

"We’ve already made our move against Town Star Island. We don’t need to worry about Jupiter Dao anymore." Chu Yi explained, "You killed Hong Zhenyuan using Heavenly Star Oddity Technique, they will naturally think that it was done by one of the houses from the Tianxing Lineage. When the time comes, they’ll get entangled with each other. By killing one person, we can remove two potential threats."

"Let the people from the Ice Soul Sword Sect fight with Buddhism."

"As for the Yu Mountain Academy’s side, let War Mausoleum Mountain deal with them."

"Striking our enemy’s weakness with minimum effort, that’s the core principle of strategy," Chu Yi said, a natural flatness to his tone that showed no arrogance whatsoever.

Listening carefully to Chu Yi, Li Jiantong nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What about the Talisman Sect?"

"...."

This time it was Chu Yi’s turn to fall into silence.

In this competition among the Ten Earth Sects, Chu Yi knew all their opponents’ weaknesses, except for one: the Talisman Sect, which left him somewhat bemused.

Not even to speak of weaknesses, he didn’t know anything about this sect.

He wasn’t the only one facing this predicament.

Only a few days before, when Red Cotton Peak hosted the "Advance, Male and Female Cultivators" event, did the Talisman Sect somewhat gain visibility. That was because when all the other Talisman Masters on the market were raising their prices, the sudden emergence of the Talisman Sect insisted on selling talismans at reasonable prices. They refused to earn an extra Spirit Stone Coin from ’family members’, which dramatically boosted the sect’s popularity among outsiders.

Chu Yi pondered over this approach, feeling a sense of familiarity.

His dear Senior Brother never engaged in profit-making businesses. He lived a life of "distributing benefits to family members," which led him to become the tycoon of both Shu Mountain and the Immortal Cultivation World.
