Chapter 1129 Assassins Arrive One After Another

"Hidden stars secretly send forth impermanence."

A woman's shrill shout rang out on the noisy battlefield. At first, no one paid attention, but it was an important signal.

It was Pavilion Master Chang who, despite the attacks from Grand Star Elder and the others being ineffective, bought her ample time.

Common sense dictates that any powerful attack will have a very long wind-up animation.

The Pavilion Master Chang's eyebrows rose with a bean-sized red light, which was inexplicably dazzling, but she supported it with her palms.

At this moment, the assassin's short weapon had already pierced Zhou Zhouyou's chest skin.

His 'Rage of a Common Man' possesses a rare killing bonus, which Zhou You could not stop even when he used the strongest spatial defense.

Just as he was about to succeed, the Unpredictable Assassin activated his secret weapon.

There is a hidden star in the sky called Impermanence. Unlike other stars, it is invisible and intangible, yet it is a real thing, hidden in the vast universe.

The Impermanence Star guides the dead to heaven; it is the spiritual totem worshipped by the Impermanence Killer.

The trump card hidden within the main body of Changge is a deadly move from the Impermanent Star, which was worshipped and drawn upon by successive generations of Impermanent Assassins, and condensed from the profound energy of the Hidden Star.

The leaders of assassins throughout history have all been called "Great Star Leaders," and they are usually a male and female master and sister, so that the female's mysterious yin body can bear the hidden star power that symbolizes the dark side.

Without the assistance of Pavilion Master Chang, the title of Grand Star Lord would be undeserved, and he would be forced to step down sooner or later.

The Pavilion Master's eyebrows grew even brighter and more piercing as she stared intently at the assassin's back, seemingly trying to pierce through him with her gaze.

A strange thing happened: the assassin, who was about to succeed, was actually drawn in by her 'gaze'.

The next moment, the assassin abandoned the victory that was within his grasp, turned to look at Pavilion Master Chang, and his eyes were filled with confusion.

The hidden star power in the surrounding void rapidly increased to a million times its original concentration, destroying his shattered body in one fell swoop.

No one expected that the assassin would be dealt with so easily.

Fearing further complications, Da Xingzhang and the others quickly searched the surrounding area and finally confirmed that it was not a feigned death, but a genuine and complete death.

"Impressive! This is the trump card of the Unpredictable Assassin!"

Dongfang Daqian, who had been watching this scene closely, sighed, "However, the assassin 'Judgment' is not so easy to deal with."

The chaotic group began to calm down, taking stock of the casualties and holding the remaining pieces of the game.

Grand Master Da Xing and Pavilion Master Chang arrived together, bowing respectfully to Zhou You with a touch of arrogance, saying, "I have not failed in my mission."

The assassin Wuchang made the greatest contribution this time. If it weren't for Pavilion Master Chang's intervention at the crucial moment, Zhou You would have been either killed or seriously injured in the assassination attempt.

Before Zhou You could speak, a voice rang out, "Don't be too happy yet. Back then, the assassin 'Jie' sacrificed eighteen like-minded comrades-in-arms in order to infiltrate the tyrant's side. Do you really think that assassins only have one method?"

The Great Star Chief's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Zhou You with shock in his eyes, only to see that Zhou You's expression was calm, clearly indicating that he had already thought of this.

Assassins are skilled at creating schemes, and adept at using a series of interconnected schemes; if one scheme fails, another will follow.

"Since you have offered this reminder, you must be a friend, not an enemy. Please come out and meet me."

brush!
Chaluozha appeared beside the convoy, stopping at a safe distance, and cupped his hands in greeting from afar, saying, "Chaluozha, the Eastern Heavenly King of the Shakyamuni Sect, has come to assist His Excellency the Governor of Qingchu Prefecture."

Upon hearing him introduce himself, everyone became wary. They were already on edge, and some even suspected that the newcomer was an assassin in disguise.

Zhou You beckoned, "Come forward and let's talk."

The people below parted to make way for Rongcha Luozha to approach.

Chaluozha didn't waste any words, "Back in Putuo Prefecture, I received a great favor from you, and I have come today to repay it."

He then held up the scroll in his hand, saying, "Please accept this. Whether you use it or not is entirely up to you. As for me, if I can stop the assassin, fine. If I can't, then I'll just have to die."

These words were spoken with unwavering resolve, yet Zhou You sensed something unusual in their tone: Putuo Prefecture, a great favor… Could it be…?

The image of a hungry tiger flashed through Zhou You's mind, and a flash of inspiration instantly made many previously unclear points clear.

He nodded to Chaluozha, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhou You picked up the painting, touched it briefly, and then sent it into the small cauldron's inner space.

He wouldn't dare use anything of unknown origin unless it was a last resort and he had no other choice.

"Governor, shall we continue forward?"

Zhu Ruoxuan, the head of the guards, advised tactfully, "The further we go, the more dangerous it becomes. It's safer to go back home, where there's an ancestral hall."

"We've come this far, are we going to turn back now?"

Zhou You shook his head, pointed forward, and said, "Pass on my order: continue forward, target: the Prime Minister's residence."

When he, as the leader, gave the order, everyone in the team obeyed and organized the convoy to continue their journey.

The assassins looked at the newly joined Chaluozha, wondering what his purpose was in coming here, their expressions filled with suspicion.

"do you know?"

When the Great Star Elder heard the question from Pavilion Master Chang, he shook his head. "The situation in Putuo Prefecture is too chaotic, and it's hard to tell whether the news is true or false. As one of the Five Heavenly Kings, Chaluozha must have the support of the Eastern Palace Master behind him."

"Let's keep an eye on things. The Buddhist sect might be colluding with the assassins."

Zhou You gently touched his chest; the wound from the short weapon was still there, about the size of a grain of rice, and it was difficult to heal, constantly oozing blood.

Looking at the spot where the assassin had vanished into thin air, the short weapon had disappeared without a trace, which was extremely unusual.

The weapon seems not to be a physical entity, but rather bound to the assassin's life, disappearing along with the assassin.

"Is the anger of a common man enough to pierce the sun and moon?"

As Zhou You muttered to himself, the carriage traveled a distance, and in the middle of the road stood a man, holding the short sword at his waist.

"Zhou Daqian, you destroyed my Mu clan, and now those who linger on the brink of death have come to seek revenge!"

Upon hearing this, the guards were furious. This was outrageous! They had participated in the extermination of the Mu clan back then and had already wiped out all the men.

Even Mu Lingshe, who was far away in the Buddhist sect, returned to her family before her death. Where were the remnants?

Without asking any further questions, it must have been the work of an assassin.

"Send your name!"

The newcomer strode forward and declared generously, "The remnants of the Mu clan, all Mu people are gone."

Mu Renjin drew his short sword and charged into the caravan. His guards and retainers on both sides attacked him, but he neither dodged nor evaded. By the time he was a hundred paces away from Zhou You, his body had been torn to pieces.

The scene was exactly the same as the assassin from before.

"Zhou Daqian, those who kill will be killed in return. Just you wait, retribution will come for you soon!"

"I am a remnant of the Mu family. Guess which family that assassin came from? Haha, I'll tell you, his name is... Qi Fengzhang!"

"And who are you?"

The three familiar words made Zhou You's eyelids twitch. It was him! How did he survive the massacre of his family and become an assassin?
The mystery grew rapidly, like a snowball, taking hold of Zhou You's mind.

Mu Renjin came here to die, and casually said these words in front of Zhou You.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Ruoxuan cleaved his head in two with a single blow, and his body fell to the ground. The short sword then vanished into thin air.
