C384 Scarlet Sovereign

"Woo!"

The purple card killer's killing intent made the Purple Thunder Lion Beast Leilei subconsciously feel fear. She let out a low roar and turned around like a civet cat, standing behind the deeply dejected Lee Yihong.

"Hmph."

"You want to truly comprehend the loneliness of life? It's not that simple."

Xuanyuan Ce, whose eyes were sharp and even had a trace of fear, had an indefinite light in the depths of his sharp eyes. There seemed to be a trace of fear and killing intent.

It was as if he was guessing the intention of the purple killer, but also as if he was weighing the threat of the purple killer once he escaped.

He was even wondering why Lee Yihong's soul aura had suddenly disappeared.

"Hmph!"

The purple-haired assassin coldly harrumphed upon hearing this, as if he was laughing at Xuanyuan Ce for not daring to fight.

"Let's go!"

"Hua ~!"

He coldly glanced at Xuanyuan Ce. The purple-haired assassin was as arrogant as anyone else. He didn't have the slightest bit of fear towards Xuanyuan Ce's existence. He swept up a spatial force that enveloped Lee Yihong and the Purple Thunder Lion Beast, who were emitting a gloomy aura. Then, they disappeared like smoke.

There was only a cold afterimage left behind by the assassin. It was as if with just a slight movement from Xuanyuan Ce, this phantom would instantly solidify, and the true body would return to its original form.

"Huala ~!"

However, the killing intent and majestic aura in the world retreated like water, and the afterimage also disappeared.

"Damn it, it's actually the Purple Card assassin who has already found a trace of the Lone Silence of Life"

"BOOM!!"

After the Purple Card assassin disappeared, Xuanyuan Ce's expression changed drastically. He clenched his right hand, causing the space to tremble.

A Late Period of Formless Stage warrior who wanted to meet Qing Styx, and even a purple card assassin who had comprehended the Death of Life,cloud Palace would not easily become enemies with him unless they had the confidence to make him stay.

Otherwise, once an assassin with such a cultivation base escaped, it would be a disaster. All the disciples of Cloud Palace, and even the Formless Stage Supreme Elders would not dare to take half a step out of the sect.

"It's true that a magic weapon grade Interspatial Ring can't isolate my soul, but Lee Yihong's soul aura suddenly disappeared. Clearly, he has broken free from my soul imprint."

"It is impossible for you to break free from my soul imprint without condensing the Great Dao. Even with the help of this purple card killer, it is impossible for you to break through my soul imprint in such a short period of time."

"Rumble...!"

The space between his eyebrows moved, and a majestic spiritual force once again shot out from between Xuanyuan Ce's eyebrows. It swept out without any restraint, and even somewhat crudely.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz ~!"

The undercurrent deep underground, the particles in the air, the leaves, and even the heart of the pond fish were all swept away inch by inch.

"Something's not right!"

"Hua ~!"

Xuanyuan Ce's cold eyes suddenly shook. "If crazily burning one's life force causes one's soul to deteriorate, then one will be able to break free from my soul imprint at the same time."

"The assassin who was full of twilight just now was Lee Yihong!"

"Bang!"

"* Chi La *"

"Damn it!"

The void exploded. As if he had been struck by lightning, the fear in Xuanyuan Ce's eyes suddenly disappeared.

It was as if only now did he know that he had been tricked by the purple killer.

......。

"Hua ~!"

Lee Yihong and the Purple Thunder Lion Beast, who had left a long time ago, were swept away by the purple token killer. They broke through the void and appeared on the precipice of an unknown valley.

"You are Lee Yihong!"

The purple assassin's eyes were as sharp as blades as he looked at Lee Yihong, who was wearing a black robe.

"Yes,i am Lee Yihong!"

"Swoosh!"

Staring at the purple token killer, Lee Yihong did not avoid his gaze. Instead, he changed into a black token robe and put on the robe of a core disciple of the academy.

"I'm Lee Yihong, a core disciple of the academy. Greetings, Chi Jun."

Lee Yihong, who had changed into a robe, suddenly kneeled down on one knee and greeted the assassin.

"Oh, you have already guessed it?"

The purple killer's eyes lit up. A trace of shock flashed across his eyes, but it slowly dissipated. He nodded slightly.

"Yes. When I asked Senior if there was a grudge between Senior and Qu Qiong,i suddenly felt something in my heart. I guessed that Senior should be Mr Kong's master, the Grand Elder of Genius Academy, Chi Jun, who was chasing after Daoist Qiong."

Lee Yihong answered honestly. This was also the reason why he asked Dao Mu and the others to leave first. However, before Lee Yihong could say anything, Xuanyuan Ce had already arrived.

"Hehehehe, your talent in cultivation is amazing. You are an ancient genius, but I never thought that your intelligence is also extraordinary. This is the fortune of our academy."

"Hua ~!"

The purple-haired assassin also put away the Blood Moon Sword on his back with a wave of his hand. He changed into a simple robe worn by the Grand Elder of the academy and revealed a bearded old man with blood-red eyebrows that reached his temples. His eyes were like the eyes of an eagle, and his aura was deep. He was blood-red like a halberd.

Like Lee Yihong, the purple-haired assassin withdrew his identity as an assassin of the Blood Moon Tower. The aura of the purple-haired assassin also changed.

A gust of immortal wind blew across his face and started fiddling with his Qi.

"Lee Yihong greets Chi Jun."

After seeing the true face of Scarlet Sovereign, Lee Yihong bowed once more.

"Quickly get up."

Chi Jun quickly stepped forward to help Lee Yihong up, instead of using his Qi to help him up. Immediately, he became friendly, as if he was incomparably delighted in his heart, and kept nodding his head.

"Are you trying to get revenge for the other assassins who tried to assassinate Qu Qiong?"

Chi Jun, whose blood-red eyebrows reached his temples, looked at Lee Yihong, whose body was filled with twilight.

"Yes. When Mr Kong died in battle for me,i swore that I would kill Qu Qiong. If I don't kill Qu Qiong, my heart of Dao will be filled with inner demons. My thoughts have already started to develop."

"Now that I have killed him, my mind will become clear. I can enter secluded cultivation at any time to break through to the Formless Stage. I can't even suppress my cultivation anymore because I have already combined the true meaning of the Great Dao."

"I've even started to form my own Dao Core in my dantian at all times."

Lee Yihong's expression was stern, but he couldn't conceal his excitement.

"En, the Qi of the true meaning of the Great Dao is surging. It's true that I can break through to the Formless Stage now."

"But why is your soul Qi so weak? Aren't you only in your twenties? Why does your soul aura seem like it's about to reach its end?"

"I can't feel the damage caused by your burning lifespan, nor do you have any soul injuries. This is the true damage caused by the decay of time."

Chi Jun looked at the Qi of Great Dao True Intent on his body and nodded his head in satisfaction, revealing a trace of excitement. However, he was surprised by the Twilight Qi on Lee Yihong's body.

"I won't hide it from senior. I was chased by Xuanyuan Ce into the four perilous lands of the Southern Wasteland. One of my friends was injured and fell into a coma in order to save my soul. Helpless,i went to find the people of Ancient Shaman Mountain to treat him. However, when I broke into the Great Wizard Soul Formation of the Ancient Shaman Mountain, my life was devoured by the Great Wizard Soul Formation for over eight hundred years."

Lee Yihong said in a simple manner, his eyes had a trace of sharpness. "I just found out that Xuanyuan Ce had left a trace of spiritual mark on my body. If it wasn't for the fact that he had combined a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao with the help of his own body,i wouldn't have been able to find it."

Lee Yihong's heart was palpitating at this moment. "Fortunately, my soul has been burned by eight times of my lifespan. That soul mark of his was still completely decayed. It was merely a trace of Qi that was left in my soul. The moment I didn't suppress my Twilight, that mark of Xuanyuan Ce dissipated instantly."

"But this man is very scheming. I'm afraid that he has already thought of me as Lee Yihong, and he will still come after me."

When he thought of Xuanyuan Ce, Lee Yihong was still incomparably afraid. Lee Yihong knew that he didn't have much strength left to defend against such a man.

"Hehe, don't worry. Just now, when I revealed my killing intent,i even deliberately showed a madness that I didn't hesitate to fight for the Dao. I was just trying to trick that Xuanyuan Ce, to let him know that I desire a battle."

"On the contrary, it made him feel apprehensive."

"Or else, even if someone like Xuanyuan Ce knows that he isn't a match for me, he will surely give it a try. Once the battle starts, all of you will be killed or injured. What I fear the most is attracting the experts of Rock Martial City."

"However, if I didn't guess that you are Lee Yihong just now,i wouldn't have any scruples. Even if Xuanyuan Ce and Daoist Banxian joined hands,i won't be able to stop them if I want to leave."

"If I escape, they will have to live in fear for the rest of their lives. They will be hunted down by a Purple Card assassin who has found the meaning of life and death. Even a peak Formless Stage won't be able to sleep or eat in peace."

"But don't worry. Even if Xuanyuan Ce could guess that you are Lee Yihong, he won't be able to catch up to us."

"The identity of a Purple Card assassin that I haven't used for many years is not an undeserved reputation. The blood red name is enough to scare a Late Period of Formless Stage warrior."

"Blood red!"

Lee Yihong was shocked when he heard this. He now knew the identity of Chi Jun's Purple Card assassin.

"As for you, after Kong'er died,i also heard a lot about you. You are very good, very good."

Looking at Lee Yihong, Chi Jun revealed a gratified smile.
