Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1065: The Four Extinguishers! Seven Slaughter Sect!

Boom...

The lake water churned as the nine Immortal Stone Clans rose once more, their severed limbs rejoining their bodies.

Their movements were clumsy, yet they regained their ability to stand and move.

This resilience was due to the destructive aura of the Sword of Death Realm clinging to where their limbs had been severed.

"Just who are you?"

An Immortal Stone Tribe member, glaring at Ye Yun, demanded with resentment.

"You Immortal Stone Clans, once hailed as one of the Five Great Heavenly Demons of the past age, have now become mere lapdogs for the Spirits?"

Ye Yun scoffed.

"..."

The nine Immortal Stone Clans froze, silenced by Ye Yun's words, as if a storm had been stirred within their souls.

"Tell me, who commanded you to lurk within Blood Abyss Lake for ten million years?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, questioning coldly.

"I have nothing to say!"

Abruptly, one of the Immortal Stone Tribe members let out a loud laugh and declared fiercely, "Since you recognize us as the Immortal Stone Tribe, you must know that our kind fears no threats!"

"Is it simply that you do not fear death?"

Ye Yun chuckled.

He extended a single finger, pointing towards the nine behemoths.

"Stasis!"

Instantly, the Stasis Technique was unleashed.

The nine members of the Immortal Stone Clan were immobilized within Blood Abyss Lake.

Following this, Ye Yun produced a Spatial Magic Treasure and collected the Immortal Stone Clans.

Having concluded these actions, Ye Yun surveyed his surroundings and selectively erased the memories of those still present in the lake as deemed necessary.

With a flicker of his form, Ye Yun departed from Blood Abyss Lake.

His two swords sliced through the sky above distant peaks, currently in pursuit of a translucent gray figure.

The void rippled subtly as Ye Yun materialized from it.

"Let's see where you, the assassin, intend to flee?"

Observing from a distance as his two swords rapidly pursued the gray figure, Ye Yun allowed himself a discreet smile.

Within the Divine Land, countless potent factions exist.

Concerning the enigmatic assassin organization, legend speaks of four forces as the most formidable.

These four powers are the Sect of Seven Kills, the Sect of Killing Life, the Sect of Killing God, and the Sect of Inhibition Demons.

The Four Great Assassin Sects are renowned across the Divine Land, commonly referred to as the Four Exterminations.

The Four Exterminations are shadowy killer factions that instill deep fear.

Even the former Supreme God Sovereign was aware of their existence only by name.

The scarcity of their appearances contributes to the mystique surrounding the Four Exterminations; when they do emerge, their targets are typically powerhouses at the very least of the Half-step God King Realm.

This particular gray figure, possessing such extraordinary skills in concealment, evasion, and assassination, is almost certainly affiliated with these mysterious Four Exterminations.

Ye Yun refrained from killing this assassin, opting instead to observe the destination of his flight.

His Silver Sword alone seemed insufficient in power.

Consequently, Ye Yun dispatched the Heaven-Slaying Sword to join the pursuit, ensuring a greater likelihood of success.

This sword had already manifested an Artifact Spirit with its own independent consciousness; as long as Ye Yun willed it, the spirit would meticulously carry out his commands.

Ye Yun extended his hand and recalled the Silver Sword.

At this juncture, that particular sword was no longer required.

He would let the Heaven-Slaying Sword maintain vigilance.

Under the Heaven-Slaying Sword's pursuit, escape was impossible.

Anyone daring to lay claim to the Heaven-Slaying Sword was essentially inviting their own demise.

No one in the Divine Land was deemed worthy of wielding a sword capable of cleaving the Heavenly Dao.

This Heaven-Slaying Sword, even when not directly wielded by Ye Yun, possessed astonishingly terrifying combat prowess.

"How can this sword be so formidable?"

The gray figure, while fleeing and employing various secret techniques, constantly traversing the void yet unable to elude the pursuing sword, mused in utter dread.

The second sword following close behind, when contrasted with the initial Silver Sword, felt exponentially more terrifying to him.

"This sword's origins must be extraordinary; it seems far more potent than our Sect's top-tier God-grade sword..."

The gray figure reflected.

At this moment, a decision formed within him: he would return to the Sect.

His intention was to lure the sword back.

Furthermore, he aimed to entice its master to return to the Sect as well.

Only under such circumstances might he find a chance at survival.

After all, the swordsmanship displayed by that youth in white was astonishing; he had not sustained injury under the Nine-star Exorcism Sword Formation, but instead shattered it with immense power.

The nine Immortal Stone Clan members, each at the God King Realm Layer Ten, were no match for him even collectively.

He, standing at the eighth stage of the God King Stage, was even less capable.

Skilled in concealment and assassination, his own cultivation level was not exceptionally high.

The assassination doctrine of the Sect of Seven Kills dictates that if a decisive strike can eliminate the target at the appointed time and place, the mission is accomplished.

Therefore, combat outcomes are not solely determined by one's realm.

...

A streak of light flashed by.

The gray figure utilized a teleportation array concealed within the mountains, making a swift escape.

However, the sword remained locked onto him, following him through the teleportation array.

Ye Yun maintained his pursuit, staying close behind the fleeting figure.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword, guided by instinct, kept the target in its sight; it would not lose the trail.

Through a series of rapid teleports, the gray silhouette escaped the confines of the Blood Abyss Lake's miniature world, materializing in an expansive territory at the southernmost point of the Divine Land.

This region was desolate, characterized by hazardous wildlife and a scarcity of spiritual energy, making it a sparsely populated area.

"This must be the Ancient Sand Domain..."

Ye Yun materialized from the void, his gaze sweeping over the landscape as he confirmed his deduction.

Indeed, this domain was situated at the remote southern edge of the Divine Land, known for its relative poverty.

"Which of the Four Exterminations could it be?"

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes, focusing on the disappearing gray figure, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He paused, choosing not to press the chase just yet.

He decided to let the Heaven-Slaying Sword engage in a bit of play.

Through his connection with the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Ye Yun began to perceive the unfolding situation around him.

After breaching the void, the gray figure ultimately plunged into a gargantuan valley.

Near the valley's edges, shimmering waves of light began to surge.

The figure's own luminescence intensified, propelling him through the barrier and into the interior without resistance.

With a sudden flash, the Heaven-Slaying Sword pierced the formation, following him in.

This blade was of an indestructible nature; such barriers were incapable of impeding its progress.

Clang, clang, clang!

A resonant chime echoed from above a complex of grand structures.

Instantly, figures converged from all directions.

"An intruder has breached the Sect!" one voice bellowed.

"Sect Master, help me!"

As the gray figure passed through the formidable array, his true appearance was revealed.

He was a wizened old man, clad entirely in gray attire.

A sword was clutched tightly in his hand.

Abruptly, the Heaven-Slaying Sword ceased its motion in mid-air, its awareness intensely focused on its immediate surroundings.

"Master, their stronghold has been located!"

Via telepathic communion, the Heaven-Slaying Sword conveyed a Divine Thought.

"Excellent. Go on and stir things up a little..."

Ye Yun's responding Divine Thought resonated back.

Observing through the Heaven-Slaying Sword's senses, Ye Yun saw the inscription on the Sect's main plaque.

Three prominent characters adorned its surface.

The Sect of Seven Kills!

This nefarious organization held the third rank among the formidable Four Exterminations.

"Lu Jiu, it's not your designated time. Why have you returned from Blood Abyss Lake so soon?"

A middle-aged man, standing at the precipice of the God Emperor Realm, exuded an aura of dignity and moved with imposing strides as he emerged from the void.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Goddess of the Ancient appeared at Blood Abyss Lake. I managed a swift ambush and, with a single decisive strike, shattered her heart!"

The individual identified as Lu Jiu spoke, his fists clasped in deference.

He cast a scan with his Divine Consciousness, noticing the sword suspended motionless in the air, and let out a quiet sigh.

He surmised that this obediently hovering sword must be overwhelmed with fear by the sheer number of powerful cultivators within the Sect.

"Shattering the Goddess of the Ancient's heart? Magnificent! You have earned tremendous merit!"

The middle-aged man erupted in hearty laughter.

His attention then shifted, fixing upon the sword, and he exclaimed with evident surprise, "Could this unparalleled blade be what you brought back?"
