"So, what has happened here?"

In the inn, Lu Yang and his two companions looked at each other in confusion. In the blink of an eye, the colors around them instantly darkened; when they pushed open the window, the street outside was the same.

Lu Yang extended his Spiritual Sense to observe the objects around him. The material and density had not changed at all.

The purpose of the color change seemed to be to inform them that some unknown change had occurred here.

"Fairy, do you know what’s going on?"

Fairy Eternity carefully sensed for a moment, "Hmm, it seems you have been pulled into another space. This is a space completely controlled by an individual. The entire town has been brought into this space, severing contact with the outside world."

"Those who were left outside the city would probably see Chunjiang City disappear, leaving only a large pit on the ground."

"It’s like the power of a Dao Fruit Outline, but it’s not one that’s appeared in ancient times. I have never seen it before."

Lu Yang: "…"

How did a Semi-Immortal pop up again?

"Old Lu, what’s the situation, what did the Immortal say?" Meng Jingzhou stealthily asked Lu Yang.

"We’ve got big trouble on our hands."

Suddenly, power fluctuations came from the distance.

"It’s in the direction of the dungeon!" Lu Yang had the sharpest senses.

"Let’s go have a look."

"The two Benefactresses, please stay here, we will return shortly."

...

"Void Realm?"

One Qi Venerable, holding a treasure gourd, stared intently at the Illusory Shadow.

According to historical records, at the end of the Great Yu, the world was in chaos, heroes vied for power, and before the Jiang and Meng influential families had fully risen, there was one force that was very likely to win the world.

That was the Great Yu’s largest Sect at the end of its period, the Void Sect. The founder of the Sect was a Semi-Immortal known as Void Venerate.

Unfortunately, the Void Sect could not withstand the rise of the Jiang and Meng influential families and was jointly destroyed by them. The whereabouts of Void Venerate became unknown.

Void Venerate’s Dao Fruit Outline was known as the Void Realm Dao Fruit Outline, which is a type of Dao Fruit Outline that creates entirely new spaces. The ability is to forcibly pull people into a completely new space. As for what happens upon entering the new space, ancient texts made no record of it.

This new space came to be called "Void Realm".

"Are you Void Venerate?"

The tall, dark figure expressed slight surprise, "Oh, I did not expect someone still remembers me."

"The books on the market do not contain records about me. It seems you, Great Xia’s upper echelons, have internal information."

Now that his identity had been recognized, the tall figure no longer hid his true face. Layers of dark matter peeled off from his body, revealing a handsome face.

"Jiang Pingan established Great Xia with State Destiny as the foundation, and State Destiny thrives on stability and prosperity. To destabilize it, nothing is more effective than establishing an assassination organization."

Jiang Pingan was the first Emperor Xia.

Void Venerate sighed with a touch of regret, "It’s a pity that Great Xia’s supervision is too strict; I could not find the right assassination organization. Thus, I had to search among ancient cultivators, and fortunately, I found this Night Pavilion."

"Just taking the chance to eliminate Night Pavilion and kill you, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage of Great Xia!"

"Big words for someone of your standing!" One Qi Venerable opened the treasure gourd, and an endless stream of purple Qi, like a flowing ribbon, burst out, sweeping toward Void Venerate.

This was the innate One Qi he had cultivated since his youth, soft enough to form chains to trap people, firm enough to break mountains and seas, shattering space.

Void Venerate lightly hopped backward, dodging the attack.

The One Qi Venerable felt some regret, for that strike was but a feint aimed at the Void Venerate, its real purpose was to shatter the space and break out of the Void Realm.

Unfortunately, the Void Realm, being a product of the Dao Fruit Outline, could not be broken by the innate purple energy.

The Void Venerate sensed the slight tremor of the Void Realm and sneered coldly, "I did not expect the innate purple energy to possess such might. Condensing innate true qi and returning to simplicity, the method of Qi Refinement is indeed extraordinary. What a pity that its lineage will be severed here."

If he wasn’t careful, he could indeed have been harmed by the innate purple energy.

After some thought, the Void Venerate flicked his finger, breaking the shackles and cages holding the people of Night Pavilion, "You’ve been freely killing people in the city, disperse their attention."

Like receiving amnesty, those of Night Pavilion complied with the commanding order of a Semi-Immortal-level Great Power, who would dare not to?

Besides, who wouldn’t enjoy killing when they had joined an assassin organization?

The One Qi Venerable grew furiously angry, "How dare you! Here I establish the rule [All members of Night Pavilion must not move!]"

The anticipated constraint did not materialize, and the assassins of Night Pavilion moved freely.

"Annihilate them!"

City Lord Liu bellowed as the officers sprang into action; the common people were like lambs to the slaughter in front of these assassins, with no power to fight back.

"Did I allow you to move?"

The Void Venerate said languidly, with a mere thought, a massive black cage sealed off Liu and the others.

The One Qi Venerable’s expression darkened as though water could drip from it; he had not at all seen how the black cage had been formed by the Void Venerate.

Fairy Eternity, who was observing the battle, suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is, this place is that Semi-Immortal’s home ground. Rules don’t work here, but he can rely on his mind to activate Void creations, a power he holds in the Void Realm."

"The Void Realm is his turf, he can morph anything here, it feels almost identical to a dream realm."

Lu Yang hurriedly sent a message to the One Qi Venerable, "Venerable, rules are useless here. The opponent’s powers might be activated by their thoughts to create Void objects. We will handle the people from Night Pavilion!"

The One Qi Venerable didn’t expect to find Lu Yang here.

Lu Yang and the two others intervened bravely, intercepting the assassins from Night Pavilion. Enjoy more content from freewebnovel

"Mere three at Nascent Soul Stage, daring to block our path?" the deputy head of Night Pavilion, protector to Ye Xiao, sneered as his hand reached out.

Slap.

Another large hand appeared across the sky, blocking the deputy head of Night Pavilion.

"Leave this person to me!"

A figure soared out from the city; he was one of the three who had initially ambushed the deputy head of Night Pavilion. After the ambush succeeded, he wasn’t involved in the aftermath, enjoying his vacation in Chunjiang City, never expecting to encounter such an event.

Although he was stronger than the deputy head of Night Pavilion, he was not yet strong enough to decide the victor immediately.

"They’re just three at the Nascent Soul Stage, let’s go together!" the Nascent Soul Stage assassins from Night Pavilion did not take Lu Yang and the others seriously.

The Golden Body rose from the ground, one palm striking dead a Nascent Soul Stage assassin, leaving only debris behind.

Meng Jingzhou displayed the Divine Ability of three heads and six arms, charging into the group of assassins, sweeping through them like a whirlwind. When an assassin attempted a sneak attack from behind, he discovered that his dagger couldn’t even pierce Meng Jingzhou’s skin.

"Call the Sword Washing Pool!"

Lu Yang called out lightly, and the Sword Washing Pool flew out from his Storage Ring, crushing a Nascent Soul Stage assassin on impact.

Two long swords shook off the water from the Sword Washing Pool and flew to stand by Lu Yang’s side, like Protectors.

"Clone!"

Lu Yang split into a Wooden Avatar; one hand wielding the Green Peak Sword, the other the Dark Moon Sword, the two swords combined their might, plowing the ground with sword qi, their radiance outshining all, chopping the assassins to pieces.

The remaining assassins who were temporarily spared shuddered in fear; these three were certainly not at the Nascent Soul Stage!
