Chapter 331

The Mortal Slaughtering Burial Ground shook the entire southern region.

Zi Chen, who had disappeared for a long time, had once more appeared. The rumors that he had left the southern region to join the Martial Heaven Alliance were shattered.

Furthermore, as soon as he appeared, he caused a huge commotion.

He had entered the depths of the burial ground, stolen a precious treasure, slaughtered five monsters, and then used that treasure to kill Yu Kong.

As soon as the Stellar Sand appeared, the heavens and earth changed color, the dome of heaven collapsed, and the void was pierced through. There was nothing it couldn't pierce through, nothing it couldn't break.

"It's too terrifying. That's the Stellar Sand we're talking about, a legendary item. Once it appears, the dome of the heavens will collapse. Flying experts will disappear without a trace, and even Spirit Weapons will turn into dust."

"The Xing Chen Sand pierced through all experts. No one was able to survive."

Back then, Zi Chen's successful escape had caused an uproar. Hundreds of people had attacked, but they hadn't been able to stop him. Furthermore, quite a few of them had died.

The news spread like wildfire. Just like a few months ago, Zi Chen was the topic of discussion in the streets, alleys, restaurants, and inns.

After that, they talked about the two treasures. It was unexpected that they had been able to discover two treasures in the Mortal Slaughtering Burial Ground.

"That day, I saw a Martial Ancestor level expert vomiting blood and returning."

"The Cang and Li families' experts were supporting each other as they circled around Yongqi City. They seemed to be heavily injured, and they didn't enter."

"The Geng family's people all left yesterday. They were very low-key and didn't attract any attention."

"The Zhu family's people also left. They seemed very dejected."

In the teahouses and restaurants, people were constantly talking about the battle that day. The conflicts between the major powers had intensified, and they were no longer as harmonious as before.

"The Qin family's people also left. It's just that when they left, they all went to the Liu family. Furthermore, the Liu family held a banquet to send off all the major powers."

"I saw Yunxia City's Wang Qiong and Wang Xian 'er leave early in the morning. The other members of the Wang family also left."

"Martial Ancestor's Miao Kong and Wu Mo have also left. It is very strange. Zi Chen and the Martial Ancestor have an irreconcilable grudge. This time, the Martial Ancestor actually took action for Zi Chen."

"What the hell do you know? The Martial Ancestor has two factions. Zi Chen only has a grudge with one faction. He is good friends with Miao Kong."

Everyone was discussing animatedly. Everyone was guessing who would obtain the two treasures in the end. However, no one knew. These major powers were very strict this time. They didn't manage to find out anything.

However, the major powers that had suffered great losses left behind ruthless words upon their return.

"Su Long, even if you're protecting Zi Chen, we still have to kill him."

"The dignity of the Chu clan cannot be violated. As long as Zi Chen dares to appear, he will die without a doubt."

"We must kill him."

The major forces were completely enraged. Zi Chen had repeatedly killed their clan's monstrous geniuses, causing them to lose face. Only by killing Zi Chen would they be able to restore the reputation of the major forces.

Each of the major powers said that they couldn't wait to kill Zi Chen. However, they didn't take any action. After all, Su Long's ferocity was still fresh in their minds.

They didn't dare to go overboard.

The Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion was the most controversial sect in the Southern region.

The training of their disciples was mainly to kill the geniuses of the major powers. Almost every year, there would be assassinations of geniuses. Moreover, this was an assassin organization. It wasn't uncommon for major powers to hire them to kill monstrous geniuses.

Back then, the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion had sent out Yu Kong to kill Wang Qiong and Wang Xian 'er. It was a hired assassination. However, it didn't succeed.

In the past thousands of years, the major powers had tried to encircle the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion several times. However, they returned empty-handed each time.

The Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion's methods were endless. They had many experts, and their headquarters were very secretive. No one knew where their headquarters were.

There were rumors that the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion wasn't a local power of the Southern region. They were outsiders who had established their sect a thousand years ago. They had always been in contact with the outside world.

In the past thousands of years, quite a few genius disciples had been secretly sent out by them to be nurtured in the outside world.

Just like the Martial Heaven Alliance, the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion also had an organization behind them.

It was called the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance.

This was an assassin organization that had existed for countless years.

Of course, these were all rumors. No one had ever confirmed them. Even the major powers that had existed for tens of thousands of years didn't dare to be certain.

The Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion had many branches spread throughout the seven cities. However, no one knew where their headquarters were.

Just as the burial ground's trip had come to an end, and everyone was discussing the matter of Zi Chen and guessing who had obtained his foundation, the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion began to move.

The Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion was located in the middle of a stretch of mountains. It was a very remote place. The headquarters was covered by a huge concealment array, concealing its aura. Outside the headquarters, there were many beasts wreaking havoc. There was no lack of small demons among them.

No one had ever guessed that the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion's headquarters would be located within a group of fierce beasts.

On this day, in the depths of the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion's headquarters, there was a formation that hadn't been activated for thousands of years. But today, it suddenly lit up.

This was a formation that had existed since the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion had been established. Even after thousands of years, it had never lit up. No one knew what it was for, and it had never been used. However, for thousands of years, there had always been people guarding it.

Furthermore, the pavilion's Elders had repeatedly warned them that if there was any change in the formation, they had to immediately report it.

Today, the formation that had been dead for thousands of years suddenly lit up. Brilliant light flickered as the formation runes lit up and shone brilliantly.

The old assassin's expression changed. He hastily went to report it.

After a while, figures arrived one after another. They were all old assassins who had been around for god knows how long. Their beards were white, and their teeth had all fallen out. However, the invisible aura that surged around them was very terrifying.

Seeing the formation lit up, all the old men were excited.

"It lit up. The rumors are true." An old assassin looked at the glowing formation. He was so excited that his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"It's been thousands of years. The one-way teleportation formation really lit up. Seems like our Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion is really an external force."

"According to the ancient records, we belong to the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance. And this is the formation that the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance uses to contact us."

The few old men were very excited.

After thousands of years, generations of old assassins had died. The truth could no longer be verified. There were only a few words left in the ancient records.

"Is it really the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance?"

They were all Elders, and the rumors about the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance were all from the Elders who had passed away. It was a super big alliance with many experts. Its foundation was far beyond the seven big cities.

"Buzz."

Within the formation, the light vibrated. The formation runes lit up, and rays of light appeared one after another. Finally, it formed a complete formation, and ripples spread out.

All the Elders were filled with anticipation.

"Boom!"

Following that, the formation shone brightly, and a surge of aura surged out from the formation like a tsunami. Cracks appeared on the surrounding stone walls, and an illusory and blurry figure appeared in the middle of the formation.

"Buzz."

The Elders sent out a ray of energy to stabilize the stone room, not allowing the energy to wreak havoc.

Within the formation, the illusory figure solidified. It was a youth wearing black clothes. His eyes were cold, and a terrifying aura surged around him.

"Are you from the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion?" The youth spoke as soon as he appeared. His voice was cold, and his expression was arrogant.

"You're from the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion?" One of the Elders stepped forward respectfully.

A token appeared in the youth's hand. It was as black as ink, and its material was unknown. It emitted an austere aura. There was a skull with two swords crossed. He coldly asked, "Do you recognize this?"

"This is the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance's token. Greetings, milord." The Elders were shocked. The rumors were true. The Heavenly Slaughter Alliance really did exist.

Whoosh.

Within the transportation formation, the light disappeared, and the youth stepped out. He looked to be in his thirties, but the aura around him was at the Ancestor level. It was very terrifying.

Furthermore, his status was extraordinary. The Elders all bowed their heads in front of him, trembling with fear.

The youth first walked around the place, frowning from time to time. His expression was one of dissatisfaction as he muttered to himself, "As expected of a barbarian land. There's nothing here. Resources are scarce, and there aren't even that many experts."

The Elders brought the youth to a meeting hall. The youth sat in the main seat and gathered all the higher-ups of the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion.

When the assassins heard that someone from the outside world had come, they were all very excited and curious. They would secretly size up the youth from time to time, which made the Elders very unhappy.

"Milord, do you have any orders for us to suddenly come here?" asked one of the Elders carefully.

"Yes, let me introduce myself. I'm Tan Fang from the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance. Your guesses were correct. This is a branch of the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance."

Tan Fang's words caused an uproar, but most of them were excited.

"I'm here to unify the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion and make it the number one sect here. Of course, I can't do it alone. After some time, there will be more people from the Heavenly Slaughter Alliance."

This was extremely exciting news, and everyone was very excited. Only some of the Elders' expressions changed.

"But before that, I have to settle this matter first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade slip appeared in Tan Fang's hand. As he injected some energy, the jade slip lit up, and a figure suddenly appeared in the air.

It was also a young man. He was tall and sturdy, and his eyes were like Xing Chen's. He stood in the air.

"Have you seen him before?" Tan Fang asked, his eyes sweeping over the surroundings.

The Elders shook their heads. Just by looking at the figure, they knew that he was extraordinary. Unfortunately, no one had seen him before.

More people shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen him before.

"No?" Tan Fang frowned, looking a little unhappy.

"It's him!" Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the back.

"You've seen him before?" Tan Fang's eyes shot out cold lightning as he stared at the assassin at the back.

"I saw him in Cangli City. He's called Su Long, and he's a Celestial from the Martial Heaven Alliance." This was an old assassin with the power of the Spirit Origin realm. He was the one who had gone to Cangli City that day.

"Yes, it's him. Where is he?" Tan Fang suddenly stood up, his aura surging. The atmosphere in the hall instantly became oppressive.

"He left. He brought a youth back to the Martial Heaven Alliance," said the old assassin.

"Impossible! There's no way he would return to the Martial Heaven Alliance!" shouted Tan Fang.

"Yes, that youth didn't go. Recently, he even showed himself," added the old assassin.

"Then let's find him. Then we'll find Su Long's whereabouts."
