Chapter 429: Dao Burial Ground

w.a.n.g Wei looked at the hooded chapter floating in front of him, holding his broken right hand that had a bent dagger in his other hand. While he was distracting, this person suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stabbed him in his head.

Unfortunately for him, w.a.n.g Wei's fleshly body was simply beyond reason. So, instead of killing him as expected, his Supreme Tier dagger was broken, and the force of the attack broke his wrist.

"Who are you? More importantly, how did you bypa.s.s my senses?"

He knew that his intuition did not work because this person posed no danger to him, however, even if distracted, it is unreasonable for this person to bypa.s.s his senses.

The hooded figure did not say anything. Since the a.s.sa.s.sination failed, he would retreat. A s.p.a.ce tear appeared behind him and he turned invisible. Unfortunately for him, before he could leave, w.a.n.g Wei clutched his hand.

This slight movement generated a ma.s.sive tornado in the sky that rendered the s.p.a.ce in the surrounding turbulent and prevented the a.s.sa.s.sin from escaping. Oddly though, he could not see this a.s.sailant, even with his True Vision.

So, he added something else to his True Vision, the power of Karma. The a.s.sa.s.sin tried to kill him, so there is cause and effect between them. Using that link, he was able to see someone flying with an unparallel speed in the northeast direction.

With one step, he appeared in front of the a.s.sa.s.sin and waved his hand making the latter unable to move. The hooded figure could not see the numerous invisible threads that bound him.

'How could he see me?'

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Wei looked up and down at this person.

"You're not from the Death Order Palace. They would not break the rules and sent a True Monarch to a.s.sa.s.sinate me. In that case, you must be from Shadow Slayer Temple.

"Has someone placed a hit list on my head? No, more importantly, have you guys resurfaced in this generation?"

w.a.n.g Wei knew of the Shadow Slayer Temple as they were an a.s.sa.s.sination group like the Death Order Palace. However, unlike the latter, they had no rules or restrictions. As long as someone paid enough money, they will a.s.sa.s.sinate the target.

Because of this, many Emperor Lineages were not happy with them, so they banded together to find the headquarters of the temple and destroyed them.

Unfortunately, the Shadow Slayer Temple will always resurface after being dormant for a while. No matter how many times they are extinguished, they would resurface again.

The odd thing about this organization is the fact they are not an Emperor Lineage, a Dao Lineage, or even an Immortal Lineage. No, they are just a Supreme Land, and yet, they are so mysterious and powerful.

Every time that they are destroyed, they will resurface again after a while. And all the Emperor Lineages have sent Ancestor-level characters to investigate who is behind them but nothing has ever been found.

According to what w.a.n.g Wei knew, even a few Great Emperors have tried to find the mystery behind this faction. And the closest answer that they come up with is that they are related to the Dao Burial Ground, one of the 6 Forbidden Zones of the Myriad Emperor World.

Amongst the forbidden zones, the Dao Burial Ground might not be the most powerfulthat t.i.tle belonged to the Nether h.e.l.lbut it might be the hardest to deal with and the one that poses the most danger to the entire world. And that's because they are very sneaky in doing things.

Once in a while, countless figures whose face has been covered by a black fog will come out from that area and began to ma.s.sacre everyone in their paths: whether it was mortals, cultivators, or demon races, they would kill everything and absorbed their essence.

However, these individuals will never attack the Domains of some powerful Emperor Lineages or their allies. They would also not directly attack the main bases of these lineages.

When it comes to the domains of the weaker Emperor Lineages they will not be spared. And even if these sects woke up their Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables, there are usually people from the forbidden zone on par with these cultivators.

What's worse is the fact that the time for their exit is never fixed: sometimes they come one generation after the other, and other times they wait for a few dozens or more generations before appearing.

Many Great Emperors have tried to deal with this problem once and for all. Unfortunately, there is a reason that this place is considered a Forbidden Zone. Many Second-Cla.s.s Great Emperors have died inside, and even First-Cla.s.s ones have been greatly injured before running away. A few even died inside as well.

As for Eternal Emperors?

Well, this is where the sneakiness of this forbidden zone comes into place. The moment an Eternal Emperor is born, the entire area will disappear without a trace. And it seemed that even Eternal Emperors could not find them.

Because of this, this forbidden zone has existed since the Ancient Emperor Era.

'How could he know my ident.i.ty?' thought the hooded figure.

Of course, w.a.n.g Wei has been reading this guy's Fate Line. Although this a.s.sa.s.sin has a magical artifact that locked his Fate Line, with w.a.n.g Wei's current ability and by mixing the power of Fate with Karma, he can still acquire a great deal of information.

So, in his eyes, he experienced the cruel training that this a.s.sa.s.sin experienced back in the Shadow Slayer Temple, and all the people he secretly killed during his existence as an a.s.sa.s.sin.

Unfortunately, he could not find the person who placed a price on his head. However, he did not learn how this person managed to bypa.s.s his senses. The temple handed this man an Innate Treasure to ensure the success of this mission.

One with a powerful invisibility ability.

"Well, it seems that my luck is on the rise. I just got two innate treasures one after the other," muttered w.a.n.g Wei, who then proceeded to check his Qi Luck to ensure that someone was not using it to trap him.

Being lucky is a good thing, but being too lucky is usually a sign that something is wrong. So, he had to make sure.

"I just invented a new technique, so, let's try it on you," said w.a.n.g Wei with a smile that terrified the a.s.sa.s.sin.

"[Karma Severing]"

The a.s.sa.s.sin saw countless yellow threads connected to him appear, then, a sword also appeared before cutting these threads one by one. Immediately afterward, a terrified look appeared on his face.

He could feel it: his existence was being erased. All the people who knew of his existence had their memories of him forcibly erased. Whether it was his fellow compet.i.tors back in the temple, his instructor, his leader, and even the love of his life.

He met her during a mission after he was injured. She healed him back to health even though he was a stranger; she was the kindness soul he had ever met, so he hid his ident.i.ty from her.

After becoming a companion with her, he would spend all his time when he was not on a mission with her.

His leader told him that this mission had a high chance of failure, however, if he succeeded, he would be granted his freedom and can finally settle down. Although the a.s.sa.s.sin knew that his leader might be lying to him, he did not hesitate to take the riskjust because of the chance of being with her.

And now, he did not exist to her: from now on, she would not remember all the joyous time they spent together: all their laughter, sorry, and moments together

With each thread cut, the a.s.sa.s.sin could feel a part of him disappearing; all trace of his existence was forcibly erased. He knew that once all the threads were cut off, he would die.

However, he was wrong. After all the threads were cut off, a barrier surrounded him to prevent him from completely disappearing from this world.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Wei had a frown on his face. He created this technique as a prototype to deal with Eternal Emperors in the future. By erasing all their cause and effect, he should be able to erase all their existence.

All their achievements in history, all doc.u.ments that have their name, all the people who remembered them: as long as they were erased, they can be killed.

This was not the reason he frowned. He was quite satisfied with this prototype spell. The reason he frowned is that he felt an existence that was not affected by his spell.

This existence did not have any karmic threads connected to the a.s.sa.s.sinor at least w.a.n.g Wei could not see it, and yet, w.a.n.g Wei could feel that this person was not affected by this spell, the existence could remember the a.s.sa.s.sin and if wanted, could prevent him from disappearingalthough it appeared as if it was not prepared to do so.

'Could this guy be really related to the Dao Burial Ground?'

After thinking about it, he waved his hand and the a.s.sa.s.sin turned into a bead and was sealed inside. He thought that he may have some other use.

Then, without hesitation, he broke the s.p.a.ce and headed straight to the Yu family's Domain.
