The entire Chamber of Relics was in chaos. The news had spread. Lady Dan cried and fainted on the spot.
Long Yunhai and a group of elders knelt in front of Master He, begging Master He to help them.
An hour ago, a group of top-notch assassins suddenly appeared in Sunset City. This group of assassins first killed their way into the City Lord's Mansion, attracting most of the experts in Sunset City and causing chaos in the city.
When Jiang Xinghe saw that the situation was not right, he immediately stopped the auction and teleported back to the Valley of Gods with Elder Gu, Long Xuesha.
However, just as they were about to activate the Teleportation Formation, a few powerful assassins suddenly appeared and stabbed the three of them to death.
When the teleportation array was about to teleport them away, Long Xuesha and the others relaxed. Furthermore, their bodies were being pulled by the power of space.
Unable to react in time, he was instantly stabbed to death.
Qian Huanhan and the group of elders did not retreat with Jiang Xinghe. It was a blessing in disguise that they were not killed.
There were a total of thirteen assassins, and six of them had died. Their corpses had turned into pools of blood after they died, leaving no traces behind.
However, there were many experts in the city, and many of them had good eyesight. Many experts had already guessed the identities of these assassins.
Long Xuesha was a super Almighty of the Immortal Realm. He was ranked in the top thousand of the God Ranking, and his battle prowess was formidable.
Even if he was drawn in by the power of space at the moment of teleportation, the person who could instantly kill him in one move was definitely a super almighty of the Immortal World. Furthermore, his battle prowess was above Long Xuesha's.
At that time, there were many experts who used their Divine Will to detect the instant the three of them were killed. A black-robed old man suddenly struck out with his palm, and a black dot flew out. Following that, the black dot turned into thousands of black dots and exploded beside Long Xuesha and the others.
It just so happened that Long Xuesha and the others were teleported away. The explosion of the black dot had produced a terrifying spatial tearing force.
Therefore, at that time, the tearing force in the surrounding space was extremely strong. Long Xuesha and the others were torn to shreds alive.
The entire incident had been premeditated. It was an organized assassination, and the timing was very good. They must have calculated it many times and calculated everything.
Such an intricate setup, such a brilliant concealment technique, such an accurate attack, and such a powerful assassination technique.
Two words appeared in the minds of all the powerhouses – the Hand of the Grim Reaper.
It was the number one assassination organization in the Divine World, much more powerful than the Pupil-less Monkeys.
It was undoubtedly the King of the Underground Assassins, and countless powerhouses in the Immortal Realm would turn pale upon hearing its name.
Thirteen assassins. That meant that at least three of the Immortal Realm's super almighties had been mobilized. With so many powerhouses, and all of them looking so unfamiliar, there was a seventy percent chance that the Death God's Hand had made a move.
Elder He flew into a rage and no longer had a smile on his face. However, he did not rashly go to Sunset City. Instead, he continued to oversee Divine Artifact Pavilion.
He Craftsmen Sect, he sending. He of. of the Craftsmen.., the Sect.
The Craftsmen's Sect had no choice but to take action. This was a branch of the Craftsmen's Sect. Jiang Xinghe was a Craftsmen's Grandmaster and Elder Gu had developed the Thunder God's Fury.
Now, the Artifact Pavilion hadn't even handed over the Thunder God's Fury that they had promised the Craftsmen's Sect, yet they were assassinated?
Elder He had come to represent the Craftsmen's Sect to come to an agreement with the Divine Artifact Pavilion. The Craftsmen's Sect would help the Divine Artifact Pavilion withstand the pressure from all sides. Elder He had vowed that with him around, no one would dare to mess around. In the end … he was slapped in the face.
Elder Crane was not the only one who was humiliated. The entire Craftsmen Sect was humiliated!
If this matter was made known, the Craftsmen's Sect's reputation would be greatly damaged. If the Craftsmen's Sect didn't do anything, anyone could kill the Craftsmen's Sect's branch forces for fun in the future.
The Clan Master of Craftsmen Sect was enraged. He gave orders to investigate the culprit. The Craftsmen Sect sent out two supreme warriors and many powerful warriors. The entire Divinity was shaken.
…
The Divinity was in turmoil. Those at the Chamber of Artifacts did not know. They only felt the sky was falling. Lu Li felt it especially strongly.
The Chamber of Artifacts was the first place he felt a sense of belonging. Jiang Xinghe was nice to him. Patriarch Gu treated him like his own son, just like how Lu Renhuang did.
Long Yunhai held grudges against him, but Long Xuesha was nice to him as well. Lady Dan and Long Yunhai would cause him trouble occasionally, but those were trivial matters.
Lu Li felt comfortable at the Chamber of Artifacts. He had already regarded himself as a part of the Chamber.
Now, the Chamber of Artifacts was collapsing, and the reason could be … him!
Because of the Wrath of the Thunder God!
Back in the days, the Thunder Bringer had shaken many forces in the Divinity. Naturally, the Fury of Thunder, which could kill a mighty warrior in the Divinity, would affect the interests of many forces.
The fact that so many powerful warriors from major sects had come was proof enough.
It was Blood Fairy who modified the Thunder Bringer. However, it was Lu Li who gave it to Patriarch Gu. That was to say — indirectly, he was the one who killed Patriarch Gu and Dragon Xuesha and Jiang Xinghe.
He had killed a man who treated him like his own son!
Lu Li felt his heart was being stabbed by a knife. He locked himself in a room in Patriarch Gu's manor and refused to see anyone.
After a day of grief, he came to his senses. He told himself to forget about the pain and pull himself together.
Otherwise, he would soon follow Patriarch Gu and lose the chance to avenge Jiang Xinghe and Dragon Xuesha.
The enemy had assassinated Patriarch Gu and Jiang Xinghe. Clearly, the enemy was trying to destroy the Fury of Thunder and could not let it exist.
As Patriarch Gu's protégé, Lu Li was likely to have the method to forge the Fury of Thunder. Why would the enemy spare his life?
Qian Huanhan was in danger as well. Of course, the enemy would not make any moves in the near future. Patriarch Crane was in the Valley of Relics. The enemy would not be so crazy.
That being said, Patriarch Crane would leave sooner or later. With Dragon Xuesha gone, the Chamber of Relics would lose its super mighty warrior.
By then, any powerful warrior could sneak in and Lu Li and Qian Huanhan would die a tragic death.
Without the protection of the Chamber of Relics, would Ling Wanjian and Chou Qianjun let Lu Li live?
Therefore, Lu Li's only chance of survival was to go to Patriarch Ying for help or to be Patriarch Ying's disciple.
However, Patriarch Gu's body was not cold yet. How could Lu Li become Patriarch Ying's disciple?
This was against Lu Li's principles.
What was more, joining the Craftsmen's Sect meant that he could only forge artifacts for the rest of his life. Lu Li was not happy about it.
As far as he was concerned, forging artifacts was only a sideline. Cultivating his abilities and becoming a powerful warrior was the way to go.
"Half a year!"
Lu Li thought about it for a while. He was sure that he could be safe for half a year at most. After all, nobody would dare to kill anyone in the Chamber of Relics before this incident was over.
Therefore, he must find a way to protect himself in half a year. After that, he would have to face all kinds of assassination attempts.
His abilities were not strong. He would not even know how he was going to die.
"Who organized this assassination attempt?
Cabinet of Cloud?
Palace of Evil Spirit? "
Two names popped up in Lu Li's mind but he soon rejected them.
It was said that the most powerful assassin organization in the Divinity, the Hand of Death, was involved in this assassination attempt. Three super mighty warriors from the Divinity were involved.
Cabinet of Cloud and Palace of Evil Spirit would not be able to invite the Hand of Death.
"Is it the other three forces?"
