Chapter 616: Chapter 270: Eliminating Hidden Dangers, Cyan Simurgh Phoenix, Spirit Void Talisman Scripture

She felt a sudden pain in her abdomen and looked down.

She saw.

Without knowing when.

Countless strands of hair had penetrated her protective dharma robe, piercing through from behind:

"This... how is this possible?"

In this process.

She was completely unaware.

Moreover, Fu Changsheng, that little beast, was clearly at the foot of the mountain.

Bang!

Zhang Yuanyuan fell to the ground, filled with immense unwillingness.

Dying with her eyes open.

At this moment.

An ominous wind stirred above her head.

Autumn Cicada flickered, landing steadily on the ground, glanced at the utterly dead Autumn Cicada, and with a slight shake of the Human Emperor Banner, a Tier Two Ghost General suddenly materialized.

Autumn Cicada pinched a spell with her right hand.

Zhang Yuanyuan’s soul was extracted from her body.

The waiting Ghost General opened its mouth, instantly swallowing it into its abdomen.

Before Autumn Cicada, a Quasi-Tier Three cultivator equivalent to a human Half-Step Purple Mansion, Zhang Yuanyuan, at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, was evidently no match.

"Autumn Cicada, well done."

Fu Changsheng absorbed the Nine Yang Divine Sword into his body.

Meanwhile, as he waved his Sword Point.

A Sword Aura passed over Zhang Yuanyuan’s neck, and a great head quickly floated towards him.

At this moment, the runes on the strange mask flowed.

Surprisingly, a gray vortex appeared.

A suction force burst from the vortex, absorbing Zhang Yuanyuan’s head, and from the vortex quickly transmitted stacks of Spirit Stones, exactly the bounty amount.

Soon after.

The vortex trembled and vanished.

The runes on the strange mask instantly receded.

Simultaneously.

A line of text prominently appeared on the mask:

"Assassination mission successful, received fifty points, after reaching one thousand points, can be promoted to Ninth-tier Assassin, and receive Ninth-tier bounty missions."

The text disappeared.

Just at that moment.

A beam of blood light suddenly erupted from Zhang Yuanyuan’s body, quickly shooting towards Fu Changsheng. Fu Changsheng dodged swiftly, but the blood light, seemingly tangible yet insubstantial, landed a strange force on Fu Changsheng:

"Damn it!"

Fu Changsheng operated his mana.

Yet could not erase this strange aura.

However.

Just then.

The runes on the strange mask slightly trembled, and a brilliant scarlet light burst forth, a sizzling sound was heard, and Fu Changsheng instantly felt the eerie aura that clung to him was quickly dispelled.

Fu Changsheng was delighted:

"This mask actually has such an effect!"

Fu Changsheng was somewhat joyful, remembering that the exchange for Thousand Kui Jade in the Shadow Sect required one thousand points, now he had gathered fifty, hope for acquiring Thousand Kui Jade was in sight.

Once he had the Thousand Kui Jade.

He could cultivate the "Great Derivation Technique: Third-Layer," and thereby unlock the Niwan Palace, taking a step forward towards becoming a Half-Step Purple Mansion.

Fu Changsheng was full of motivation as an assassin.

.....

Meanwhile.

Qiuu Kui, who had already left Yunshan County and ventured deep into the Eastern Wilderness, suddenly halted, quickly tapping his storage bag, a flash of Dawn Light followed, and a unique Soul Jade floated mid-air.

Yet this Soul Jade was already shattered:

"Yuanyuan!"

Qiuu Kui’s expression changed.

He had clearly given Yuanyuan a Tier Three [Cyan Simurgh Spirit Talisman] for protection, who could take Yuanyuan’s life: 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Whoever dared touch my person is courting death!"

Qiuu Kui quickly pinched a spell.

Chanting an unknown spell incantation.

Soon after.

A strange aura started to condense from the Soul Jade, and mid-air, a human figure began to gather.

Just as its features were becoming defined.

Bang!

The Soul Jade suddenly shattered.

Qiuu Kui was repelled by the force, staggering back several steps before steadying himself:

"This...."

The force just now.

Was far beyond what a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion could do.

At the very least a Golden Core Master:

"When did a Golden Core Master appear in South Huai, this ghost place?! How could Yuanyuan have offended a Master?"

Qiuu Kui was utterly baffled.

Indifferent.

He seemed to think of something.

His expression changed swiftly.

He glanced quickly towards the Blood-colored Forbidden Area:

"Could it be something from inside got out?!"

Thinking of this.

Qiuu Kui’s face turned pale.

Muttering curses:

"The Ancient Great Power of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area made it clear long ago not to tread in it, these people now, seeing the chance to find valuable treasures inside, recklessly ventured in, and now, they’ve fed those things inside."

The more Qiuu Kui thought, the more afraid he became:

"No way, if it really is something from inside got out, unguardedly, the entire Eastern Wilderness might be buried with it!"

This wasn’t merely about avenging his wife.

He quickly rushed towards the Yinan Tribe.

Planning to have the tribe investigate thoroughly around Qiuyang Mountain and the Blood-colored Forbidden Area. If it were true, precautions must be taken early.

.....

At the foot of Qiuyang Mountain.

After the strange mask resisted the mysterious energy, it lightly trembled with a buzzing sound, the spirit light of runes faded, returning to an ordinary scarlet mask.

The strange mask detached from Fu Changsheng’s face.

Fu Changsheng reverted to his original appearance.

First time executing a Shadow Sect assassination mission, this time was exceedingly effortless, and he now understood the assassination process thoroughly.

Fu Changsheng looked at the strange mask in his hand, quite astonished:

"The tier of this mask is far beyond a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact!"

Capable of remotely teleporting items.

Capable of altering appearance.

More wondrously, capable of sending human consciousness into a mystical space.

The Shadow Sect was far more powerful and mysterious than he imagined.

In this way.

The items he needed might all be obtainable within the Shadow Sect.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve, the unactivated Cyan Simurgh Spirit Talisman and Zhang Yuanyuan’s storage bag floated towards him.
