Chapter 20 Encounter with the Shadow Assassin Again!

The remaining people inside the Moving Array Map realized something was amiss and fled in terror.

The moment they escaped, the Moving Array Map flickered.

This proved that the Moving Array Map had been activated!

But they had no time, nor the opportunity to re-enter.

Yang Yan was right in front of them!

They didn't dare to go back in!

The uncontrolled corner of the Moving Array Map floated in mid-air.

What a great item!

It could be used to escape in the face of a major crisis in the future.

Yang Yan waved his hand and collected it.

"Handle the rest," he commanded.

Executing the Sword God Technique, along with Human Sword Unity with the Emperor Corpse Sword, had consumed a lot of his Profound Qi.

He didn't want to make a move against the remaining people.

Leng Bi Yue and Wudao Tian were there.

And with the Dragon Array, there was no need for him to take action.

There were servants, so let the servants do it!

As the master, the less he moved, the better.

Otherwise, what was the point of being a master?

"As you command, Master."

Leng Bi Yue, Wudao Tian, Jing Yin, and Jingxin attacked together.

Their power was much stronger than that of the people opposite.

Profound Skills and Taoist Skills were unleashed continuously, forcing Chu Lian, Yuan Shaotian, and the others to retreat step by step.

"Not bad, these Saint Heirs and Little Geniuses do have some skill," Yang Yan said as he watched the fight and practiced the Kunpeng Devouring Sky Technique.

The physiques of Zhou He and Zhuo Tian transformed into strength, allowing him to devour and turn it into his Profound Qi and power.

Replenishing his lost Profound Qi, he returned to his peak condition.

Within their corpses, he found many items.

Zhou He, as a Saint Heir of the Xiantian Sect, possessed a wisp of Innate Energy within the Sea of Suffering.

Such a great item!

If added to Artifacts during forging, it was possible to refine an Innate Artifact.

Perhaps it could even refine an Artifact comparable to those crafted by Saints!

Inside Zhuo Tian, there was nothing left.

Next were the items both possessed, their storage rings.

Having lost their owners, the two storage rings were easily opened by Yang Yan.

"Quite a few treasures indeed!" He laughed as he opened them.

Although the contents of Zhuo Tian's storage ring were not much, there were substantial amounts of Divine Origin and Spirit Stones.

Not to mention Zhou He!

He was a Saint Heir of the Xiantian Sect!

The resources he possessed were far superior to Zhuo Tian's.

Not to mention if he had Innate Energy, would there be a lack of Divine Origin, Spirit Stones, and such?

Without a second word, Yang Yan took out all the Divine Origin.

Absorbing the power within, his inner Profound Qi surged.

Golden Profound Qi rain fell from above the Sea of Suffering.

Streams of Profound Qi bolstered the Divine Bridge.

Spreading continuously, it neared the other end of the Sea of Suffering.

After absorbing for half an hour, he finally assimilated all the Divine Origin.

The full power brought the Divine Bridge above the Sea of Suffering only a tenth away from successful deployment.

Reaching the Realm where the Sea of Suffering, Divine Spring, and Divine Bridge were in union, and then breaking through to the Taoist Palace Realm!

He slightly opened his eyes and saw Leng Bi Yue and Wudao Tian, combining their strength to slay the final Yuan Shaotian.

Yuan Shaotian died with his eyes wide open, unresigned.

His first act of forbearance and retreat

Made him unwilling!

This led to the second assassination attempt.

He thought everything was well-arranged and would be successful.

Who would have thought... it would end in a tragic death!

"Master, this Yuan Shaotian was still babbling about not wanting to die without becoming an Emperor.

What a joke!

As if he could become an Emperor? Truly acting as if there are no more powerful beings in the world," Wudao Tian said.

"To become an Emperor, it shall be our Master!

What is he in comparison?"

He discreetly flattered without a change in expression.

Yang Yan casually tossed a storage ring that landed in the hands of Wudao Tian.

"This is for you. There are Magic Artifacts inside for your use."

Next, he tossed another storage ring to Leng Bi Yue.

That was Zhou He's, containing quite a few treasures.

But for Yang Yan, it was still not as valuable as the Immortal Goddess Sword he carried on his back.

"Thank you, Master." Both expressed their joy.

Jing Yin and Jingxin watched this scene with a bit of envy.

Yet they both clearly understood that they hadn't fully accepted his ownership; naturally, they received nothing.

Following that, Yang Yan released a stream of Profound Qi that transformed into a Kunpeng.

Together they devoured several people, obtaining a few storage rings and storage bags.

The power from the corpses was minor.

So, what he cared more about was whether they had Divine Origin in them.

"There's Divine Origin. Looks like I have a chance to break through Divine Bridge and reach the Taoist Palace Realm today!" Yang Yan thought.

His Divine Bridge was nearly complete, just ten percent shy.

With the Divine Origin from Yuan Shaotian's storage ring, he should be able to reach half the requirement.

Combined with the rest, it was just barely enough.

"Let's go, into the depths of the tomb," he said.

He intended to cultivate and break through while entering the depths of the tomb.

If he was late, he feared that the treasures inside could be taken by others.

Especially the Divine Origin!

There was quite a bit of Divine Origin in the hands of some Saint Heirs.

How much Divine Origin would a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm have?

He couldn't guess, but it was surely enough for his breakthrough!

"As you command, Master."

Jing Yin, Jingxin, and Leng Bi Yue all got onto the palanquin.

Wudao Tian lifted the palanquin, carrying the four of them forward.

A palanquin plus four people.

To Wudao Tian, who had reached the Four Extremes Secret Realm, this was very light!

He could lift it with just one hand!

He didn't even use his Profound Qi, so he had no complaints.

Inside the palanquin, Yang Yan closed his eyes.

He absorbed the Divine Origin's power and continued to build his Divine Bridge.

His Divine Bridge was getting closer and closer to the other side of the Sea of Suffering.

As time gradually passed, the group became more vigilant.

Because the closer they got to the depths of the Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator's tomb, the deeper and more profound the danger.

After about half an hour of travel, they encountered no major crises, only minor ones.

Leng Bi Yue and Wudao Tian easily dealt with these minor crises.

At this time, a tall palace appeared before their eyes.

Around the palace were four bridges.

Below the bridges was boundless darkness, like the gaping maw of a deep abyss.

No one knew what was inside.

At the ends of the four bridges stood an open doorway.

The doors were open, and from time to time, fluctuations of Profound Qi emanated from within.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a figure flew out; it was someone in a black robe.

She wore a black veil, and in her hand, she carried a transparent, shadowless, formless longsword.

Her eyes were large, brimming with a murderous intent.

Leng Bi Yue immediately recognized her as the Shadow Assassin they had encountered on the road while pursuing Xue Ni Chang!

The appearance of this Shadow Assassin here left no doubts.

Xue Ni Chang must be inside the palace.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared.

Because, regardless of how important the treasures of a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator were, they weren't as important as the target a killer had to assassinate.

This was a constraint, a creed of assassins.

Not to be moved by external items, otherwise, it would affect their murderous intent.

Shaking murderous intent!

Once their murderous intent wavered and lost its focus.

They would then be exposing flaws!

In the future, any killings would definitely go wrong.

And if an assassin makes a mistake, they end up dead.

The Shadow Assassin glanced at them, revealing an astonished expression.
