Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian calmly watched as Zheng Hong Yi vehemently denied the accusations. After Zheng Hong Yi finished speaking, he only said indifferently, Are you done?

Hm? Fear rose in Zheng Hong Yis heart when he saw Duan Ling Tians calm expression. Does Duan Ling Tian have evidence?

When Zheng Hong Yi was summoned here, he had assumed the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang was careless and allowed Duan Ling Tians subordinate to communicate with Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, he assumed Duan Ling Tian was lucky and managed to escape with his life intact. He was under the impression that the assassin was still alive and holding Duan Ling Tians subordinate hostage.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian waved his hand and brought out a Spatial Ring. Then, he passed the Spatial Ring to Sun Liang Peng who was standing next to him and said, Sect leader, please have a look and see if Zheng Hong Yis Soul Pearl is in this Spatial Ring?

Sun Liang Peng had seen his third direct disciple firmly denying his involvement in this matter. Although he was inclined to believe Duan Ling Tian, there was nothing he could without any evidence. Upon seeing the Spatial Ring, he was finally reminded that Duan Ling Tian was in the possession of the assassins Spatial Ring.

If Zheng Hong Yi was the one who hired an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang, Zheng Hong Yis Soul Pearl should be with the assassin.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Hong Yi sneered. It doesnt mean anything even if this Spatial Ring has my Soul Pearl! There are many people in the sect who have my Soul Pearl. Its not hard to verify this.

Duan Ling Tian turned frosty when he heard Zheng Hong Yis words. He said with a mocking smile, Well, what if I told you this Spatial Ring belonged to the assassin?

The Spatial Ring of the Blood Skull Gangs assassin?

Zheng Hong Yi was stunned speechless. Why was the assassins Spatial Ring in Duan Ling Tians possession? There was only one possibility for something like that: the assassin had died.

Following that, Sun Liang Peng brought a Soul Pearl out from the Spatial Ring. An expression of fury appeared on his face immediately. As Zheng Hong Yis master, he was, naturally, familiar with Zheng Hong Yis soul mark. There was no doubt this Soul Pearl belonged to Zheng Hong Yi.

With this confirmation, Sun Liang Pengs expression turned frosty as Celestial Origin Energy began to rise from his body. It seemed like he intended to kill Zheng Hong Yi to seek justice for Duan Ling Tian. So its really you! You insolent disciple!

Master! Zheng Hong Yi cried out. A panicked expression appeared on his face when he saw the killing intent flashing in his masters eyes. He hastily said in an attempt to save his life, You cant believe him! Just because he said the Spatial RIng belonged to the assassin, how can you just take his word for it?

I watched Duan Ling Tian pick the Spatial RIng from the assassins corpse! Sun Liang Pengs killing intent did not subside at all. He turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said, Duan Ling Tian, you have the right to deal with him... You can kill him to avenge your subordinate.

Thank you, sect leader. Duan Ling Tian nodded. When he turned to look at Zheng Hong Yi, a terrifying killing intent raged in his eyes. Liu Guang Lin had died because of him. He had to avenge Liu Guang Lin no matter what.

At this moment, Sun Liang Peng turned a deaf ear to what Zheng Hong Yi said, ignoring Zheng Hong Yi. He only watched on expressionlessly as though he did not care about Zheng Hong Yis life or death.

Zheng Hong Yis expression changed drastically. Fear tightened its grip around his heart when he saw his master truly did not care about what happened to him.

Duan Ling Tian was about to land the killing strike when Zheng Hong Yi hastily said, Duan Ling Tian, Im not the only one who had dealt with the Blood Skull Gang. Wang Hong is involved as well. In the previous assassins Spatial Ring, you should be able to find a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord. Its called the Jade Light Armor. It was given to her by the grand elder. She had used it as a deposit to pay the Blood Skull Gang. Faced with his impending death, he gritted his teeth and decided to drag Wang Hong down with him. If he had to die, he would not die alone. If they decided to spare Wang Hong due to her connection, he might have a chance of surviving as well. It was his last-ditch attempt to survive.

Wang Hong? The killing intent in Duan Ling Tians eyes intensified as he turned to look at Sun Liang Peng meaningfully. Sect leader... It seems like the grand elder wasnt being honest when we spoke to him before.

Insolent disciple, do you have evidence? Sun Liang Peng asked icily as he stared at Zheng Hong Yi. Despite his question, he was already rather certain of Wang Hongs involvement.

Master, I dont have any evidence. However, I can ask Wang Hong to meet me. You can hide while I speak to her, Zheng Hong Yi said.

All this time, Wang Hong was unaware that the Blood Skull Gang had sent another assassin. Naturally, she had no inkling as to what had happened at all.

Then, Zheng Hong Yi hurriedly sent Wang Hong a Voice Transmission telling her that the Blood Skull Gang had sent another assassin. Therefore, she agreed to meet him.

It did not take long before Wang Hong arrived. As soon as she saw Zheng Hong Yi, she did not greet him but immediately asked, Zheng Hong Yi, whats his cultivation base? According to my grandfather, Duan Ling Tians current cultivation base is equivalent to a Ten Directions Celestial King.

Before Zheng Hong Yi could respond, Wang Hong continued to say, If hes just a normal assassin, he wont be able to kill Duan Ling Tian.

As soon as Wang Hong finished speaking, Zheng Hong Yi looked at the air in front of him and asked, Did you hear that?

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongs expression changed dramatically as an ominous feeling rose in her heart.

Wang Hong, youre a part of this as well?! Sun Liang Peng asked angrily.

Wang Hong watched, frightened, as Sun Liang Peng and Duan Ling Tian appeared.

Sun Liang Peng was furious. He did not expect Wang Hong to do such a foolish thing with Zheng Hong Yi. Did she not take her grandfather who was the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect into consideration before she acted so foolishly?

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian only looked at Wang Hong coldly as though he was looking at a dead person.

S-sect leader?! Wang Hong already had a bad premonition when Zheng Hong Yi spoke to the air. When she saw Sun Liang Peng, she was shocked.

When Wang Hong regained her senses, she glared at Zheng Hong Yi and said through gritted teeth, Zheng Hong Yi! Its your own fault you got exposed, why must you drag me down with you? If she still did not understand Zheng Hong Yis intention, she would have lived her life in vain.

After that, Sun Liang Peng spoke to Wang Hongs grandfather, the Simplicity Celestial Sects Grand Elder, and the other high-ranking officials of the Simplicity Celestial Sect regarding how the duo should be dealt with.

Zhang Guang Zheng, the person who brought Duan Ling Tian to the Simplicity Celestial Sect, was the first to speak up. This is terrible... Its already bad enough that our disciples are killing among themselves. Now, they even dare to hire assassins! I think they should be put to death to serve as an example for the other disciples! With this, we can prevent something like this from happening again in the future.

I agree. The other Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, a middle-aged man with a medium build, agreed with Zhang Guang Zheng.

Apart from Wang Qian Zhan, the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, who had not spoken up yet, the other high-ranking officials of the Simplicity Celestial Sect agreed with sentencing Zheng Hong Yi and Wang Hong to death.

Grand Elder, what do you think? Sun Liang Peng asked as he looked at Wang Qian Zhan.

Everyone instinctively turned to look at Wang Qian Zhan.

These eyes were like an immense pressure on him. Sentence them to death then, he said indifferently before he left without turning back.

Despite Wang Qian Zhans indifference, the other high-ranking officials of the Simplicity Celestial Sect could understand his feelings. Therefore, they were not offended by his abrupt departure.

Sun Liang Peng had allowed Duan Ling Tian to personally execute Wang Hong and Zheng Hong Yi. It could be considered as doing Duan Ling Tian a favor as well.

After Duan Ling Tian had executed Wang Hong, he looked at Zheng Hong Yi and asked curiously. Zheng Hong Yi, Im curious... Whos your guarantor?

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tians words, the others who were present turned to look at Zheng Hong Yi curiously as well.

The Blood Skull Gang was one of the top assassin organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory. It was not easy to employ their services. One had to be or had to have a guarantor who was, at least, a leader of a grade-six force or a Celestial Lord. A way to bypass that was to have connections with someone from the Blood Skull Gang. Most of the people present were certain Zheng Hong Yi had a connection with someone from the Blood Skull Gang.

Zheng Hong Yi sneered. Im going to die anyway... Why should I tell you?

Well, if you answer my question, Ill leave you with an intact corpse. Otherwise, youll die by a thousand cuts and dismemberment! Duan Ling Tians voice was frosty, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified, causing chills to run up peoples spines.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tians words and seeing the killing intent in Duan Ling Tians eyes, Zheng Hong Yis face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. He did not doubt Duan Ling Tians words at all. Out of fear, he hastily said, I met the son of a high-ranking official in the Blood Skull Gang once. I did him a favor so he gave me his Soul Pearl and promised me two chances to employ the Blood Skull Gangs service.
