Chapter 548 - 255: Soul-Gradual Saber, Zhang Ye!
"If you make a false move, I can take your life at any moment."
In the darkness, the voice of Zhang Fuguang echoed, as if coming from all directions, making it impossible to determine his exact location.
"Blood Shadow Sect actually has such a master. I once visited Blood Shadow Sect and gained some understanding of it. In my opinion, your skill ranks among the top three in the sect." Monarch Yuehan cautiously observed his surroundings and continued, "Even I can’t sense your presence. If you’re willing to follow me, I can give you whatever you desire."
"Blood Shadow Sect, Zhang Ye."
Zhang Fuguang calmly replied.
"Soul-Gradual Saber Zhang Ye..." Monarch Yuehan’s pupils contracted, heightening his vigilance!
The name itself had long been renowned, sending chills down one’s spine upon mention.
This was the purpose of Zhang Fuguang revealing his name, to intimidate Monarch Yuehan further, preventing him from acting rashly. Although he was confident in his assassination skills, his first priority was ensuring Li Hengsheng’s escape before considering killing Monarch Yuehan.
Otherwise, if his attempt failed, Li Hengsheng would be in danger.
"The sixth on the Divine Weapon List, Soul-Gradual Saber, combined with the murderous Zhang Ye of the Blood Shadow Sect, I didn’t expect to have such an honor." Monarch Yuehan said with a smile, "Your master once almost succeeded in assassinating an Earthly Immortal, and the disciples you bring up are equally excellent. If I recall correctly, you once assassinated a Great Martial Sect member when you were merely at the Innate Perfection level."
"Afterwards, when you stepped into the Grandmaster realm, six members of the Great Martial Sect died by your hands. Your name might be even more renowned than your master."
"It’s a pity there’s no news of you lately. Although I’ve been in the Eternal Prison, I’m aware of the outside news. You defected from the Blood Shadow Sect and were hunted, but the assassins sent after you all died by your hand."
"Zhang Ye, I admire you. Follow me, and I can offer you anything you wish for."
Monarch Yuehan continued trying to persuade Zhang Fuguang.
Yet no matter what Monarch Yuehan said, Zhang Fuguang remained silent, like a beast lurking in the mountains, waiting for its prey.
Should Monarch Yuehan show any weakness, Zhang Fuguang truly could strike him down on the spot.
The dark night.
This is the dominion of Zhang Fuguang.
Regardless of who it is, escaping Zhang Fuguang’s assassination here is impossible.
Zhang Fuguang had this confidence.
But Monarch Yuehan did not give up and continued trying to persuade Zhang Fuguang, while also remaining vigilant, ever ready for Zhang Fuguang’s assassination attempt.
Monarch Yuehan understood clearly that any slight lapse in his concentration would lead to Zhang Fuguang emerging from the darkness and delivering a fatal strike.
Causing his death on the spot.
Yet, Monarch Yuehan found himself anxious as well, for he had followed spatial traces to chase to this point; if he delayed further and the traces vanished entirely, finding Li Hengsheng within the vast Cangyuan Realm would become nearly impossible.
Cangyuan Realm is so vast.
Finding a person isn’t that simple.
Yet with Zhang Fuguang stalling him, Monarch Yuehan had no room to act otherwise.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Time ticked away, and Monarch Yuehan also began to admire Zhang Fuguang’s endurance. After two hours of persuasion, Zhang Fuguang remained silent after revealing his identity, as if he had vanished.
But Monarch Yuehan knew well; Zhang Fuguang was there, waiting for Monarch Yuehan to make a mistake.
The assassination skills of Blood Shadow Sect were among the best in Cangyuan Realm, two hours meant little to them.
Even for two days, even twenty days, they could lie in wait, just for a single opening from their foe.
Moreover, what is this Painting Treasure that could enshroud the world in eternal darkness as if it were perpetual night?
This place was nearly akin to the Eternal Prison.
The standoff between them persisted for an unknown duration.
Meanwhile, within this desolate desert, others began to appear.
In the darkness, dozens of figures silently emerged, each exuding a sense of mundane normalcy.
At that moment, an immense light burst forth, illuminating this blackened world.
Zhang Fuguang’s Painting Treasure hovered mid-air, suddenly snatched by someone.
The person was none other than Faceless Painting Saint.
Faceless Painting Saint held ’the lamp under the shadows’, closely examining the wooden carving in hand, momentarily marveling at its marvels.
"Is this also a Painting Treasure?"
Faceless Painting Saint had never seen a Painting Treasure like this before.
With this desert cloaked in radiance, the night dissipated, Monarch Yuehan knitted his brows and looked around, at the same time, everyone present was from the Blood Shadow Sect.
Previously, while Monarch Yuehan was trapped here, he had used a Secret Technique to notify Faceless Painting Saint to have Blood Shadow Sect come to eliminate the traitor.
Blood Shadow Sect, upon hearing of Zhang Ye’s whereabouts.
Mobilized as many as twenty-seven top experts.
Blood Shadow Sect’s approach towards traitors was to kill without fail!
Yet even under the bright illumination, no trace of Zhang Fuguang was found.
It seemed as though Zhang Fuguang wasn’t there, but no one was surprised, given the unique Cultivation Technique of Blood Shadow Sect; they knew Zhang Fuguang must be concealed, moreover, among them were experts familiar with Zhang Fuguang.
