Eternal Saber

In the past life, there were four great assassins whose names remained in the annals of history.

Each of them carried a sense of certain death, sacrificing themselves to assassinate.

Because of their fearless spirit and earth-shaking feats, they were remembered by later generations, and even historians wrote separate biographies for them.

The Stealth Technique of the Hidden Sect was a mastery of perfection.

The assassination methods were also at their peak, far surpassing the four great assassins in the books of past life.

But he ultimately did not have the heart of certain death.

In spirit, he was still far inferior.

The Hidden Sect, after many years of silence, finally comprehended the ’sacrifice’ sword intent, which was considered touching the threshold of the Transformation Realm.

But in the instant of the final stab, he was intimidated by Chen Tang’s ’Eternal’ Sword Intent, a cowardice stirred in his heart, wanting to flee, naturally leading the Sacrifice Sword Intent to collapse without a fight.

Chen Tang let out a light breath.

The assassination process just now was extremely brief, yet perilous beyond measure.

Life and death were only within a hair’s breadth!

Chen Tang glanced at the sword wound on his chest.

The Sword Intent of the Hidden Sect dissipated, with his Vajra Indestructible Body, the sword wound was not significant, and by now, the bleeding had already stopped.

In no time, it would crust over and heal.

Chen Tang walked toward Ming Yue Wanderer, who was not far away.

"Little brother, I..."

Ming Yue Wanderer felt complex, his expression awkward, wanting to speak but hesitating.

The Hidden Sect used the lives of Shangguan Caiyun and her child to coerce him, leaving him with no choice.

This act was against the principles.

But in his heart, the lives of Shangguan Caiyun and her child were indeed more important than Chen Tang.

Chen Tang gave a faint smile and said, "Senior was trapped, had no choice, it’s nothing."

Ming Yue Wanderer was still troubled, unsure how to explain, but with Chen Tang’s casual remark, the matter was thus put to rest.

It was just two years gone unseen, and this young man before him now felt a bit unfamiliar.

Not only had his cultivation and battle prowess reached a terrifying stage.

But just this grandeur of a Grandmaster made one admire.

Back then, he only felt this from the Emperor Wu.

"Right, Lady Yun!"

Ming Yue Wanderer was shocked, hastily stood up, wanting to rescue Shangguan Caiyun.

A hawk’s cry echoed in the sky.

A golden light swooped down, besides Ah Li, there was also a captivatingly beautiful woman holding a baby, it was indeed the former boss lady of Qianzhu City’s Shadow Tower, Shangguan Caiyun.

Before entering the Shadow Castle, Chen Tang had Ah Li ride the Little Golden Roc and hide in the sky.

Chen Tang anticipated that the Four Great Elders of the Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest would surely come out to stop him.

Should the Four Great Elders die, it was possible the Hidden Sect would act.

Then, it would be the time to rescue.

"Lady Yun!"

Ming Yue Wanderer beamed with delight, quickly stepping up to help support Shangguan Caiyun and her child down.

"Are you okay, are you unharmed?"

Ming Yue Wanderer looked over Lady Yun, then at the baby in her arms, asking, "Is the child alright?"

"We are all fine."

Upon seeing daylight again, reunited with Ming Yue Wanderer, Lady Yun was stirred with emotions, even choking up.

"It’s alright, it’s alright."

Ming Yue Wanderer gently wiped away Lady Yun’s tears from her cheeks, comforting, "The Four Great Elders of Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest and the Hidden Sect are all dead, no one can harm us anymore."

"Ah!"

Lady Yun’s eyes widened.

Not until now did she notice the chaos around, large patches of blood, several corpses.

"Who killed them?"

"Little brother Chen Tang."

"Ah?"

Lady Yun blinked her tear-stained eyes, a bit incredulous.

"Little brother, what are your plans next."

Ming Yue Wanderer looked around, and said, "Here the Hermits..."

Even though the Hidden Sect and the Four Great Elders were dead, there were still numerous Hermits on the Hermit Continent.

"Senior once said, if one could live steadily and solidly, who would wish to become neither human nor ghost, reduced to a numb, machine of slaughter."

Chen Tang said, "The Hidden Sect and the Four Great Elders are dead, there should be no one able to shake senior’s status on the Hermit Continent."

"From now on, senior shall be the chieftain of the Dongyi Race, the Continent Lord of the Hermit Continent, hoping senior can change the Hermit Continent, and let the Hermits here live like real people again."

Ming Yue Wanderer was originally from the Dongyi Race, familiar with the customs and cultural traditions of this place.

He was also a Transmission Elder.

The Hidden Sect, Four Great Elders, and all twelve floor masters were dead, no one’s status was higher than his.

Indeed, when Emperor Wu took Ming Yue Wanderer by his side, making him one of the Immortal Slayers, and personally nurtured him, there was probably such an intention.

Ming Yue Wanderer pondered for a moment and said, "There’s no problem with me being the chieftain of the Dongyi Race, but as for the Continent Lord, it should be you to oversee."

Chen Tang waved his hand and said, "I’m not interested, the Continent Lord of Celestial Cauldron Continent has already been handed to Shen Che."

"The Four Nations have united?"

Ming Yue Wanderer’s heart stirred, vaguely grasping something.

Chen Tang nodded.

Ming Yue Wanderer glanced at Ah Li beside, and then continued, "Since you’re not to be the Continent Lord of the Hermit Continent, let Ah Li take it, I’ll remain the Transmission Elder to support her."

Ah Li hurriedly shook her head.

Chen Tang asked with a smile, "Didn’t you just speak? Why won’t you now?"

Ah Li slightly lowered her head.

Just now, she suddenly saw Chen Tang, her emotions surged, and she momentarily forgot this matter.

Now trying to conceal it, but it was impossible to hide any longer.

Only, although her throat was healed, her voice still didn’t sound very pleasant.

In front of Chen Tang, she still didn’t wish to speak much.

Ming Yue Wanderer suddenly asked, "Now that Celestial Cauldron and Hermit continents have been taken over, is your next step to go to Donglai Continent?"

"Yes."

Chen Tang nodded and said, "Some friends from the Divine Land have come over, I’m planning to take them to Donglai Continent to settle."

"Alright."

Ming Yue Wanderer said, "I’ll go with you, just to meet those Mystic Masters from Donglai Continent."

"There’s no need."

Chen Tang smiled slightly and said, "You stay here to handle matters on Hermit Continent. Though the Hidden Sect members are gone, there are many hermits, and you and Ah Li need to gather people to take over this place, which will be quite troublesome."

"There’s nothing significant over at Donglai Continent, just some Mystic Masters, none of them matter."

To Chen Tang, besides the Returning Void Daoist at the Transformation Realm level, other Mystic Masters posed no threat to him.

"You all will be busy next, I’ll leave now and come to see you when I have time."

Chen Tang said this, leaped into the air.

Little Golden Roc soared up, carrying Chen Tang and turning into a streak of golden light, disappearing into the distance.

"Hey..."

Ah Li looked up and called softly, but only saw a flash of golden light at the edge of the sky, then it vanished.

Lady Yun noticed the disappointment in Ah Li’s eyes, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "It’s alright, you’ll meet again in the future. Then, I’ll teach you some moves to definitely handle him!"

Ah Li blinked, remained silent, pretending not to understand.

-----------------

Celestial Cauldron Continent, Old Capital.

Since Chen Tang appeared, slicing through Moon Night Warehouse with a single slash, intimidating the Four Nations, a month had passed.

During this time, Shen Che had become the Continent Lord of Celestial Cauldron Continent in name, beginning to establish a new capital based on the Old Capital, while abolishing the names of the Four Nations.

Murakumo Chikawa and Amaterasu Senno outwardly cooperated, but privately they were secretly hindering and not very cooperative.

No matter what, Shen Che was after all their junior, only Second Grade Innate.

Having them, two First Grade Grandmasters, assist made them somewhat uncomfortable.

But, since Chen Tang left only a month ago, his residual power still lingered, so the two dared not openly oppose Shen Che.

That day, Shen Che, Murakumo Chikawa, and Amaterasu Senno were discussing matters in the main hall of the new capital.

Murakumo Chikawa and Amaterasu Senno still avoided the main topic, making various excuses.

Shen Che felt the fire within him, but it was unsuitable to vent it publicly.

His confidence came from Chen Tang.

But Chen Tang was not there, having previously said he was going to Hermit Continent, and then there was no news.

He had already sent emissaries to Hermit Continent to inquire.

Calculating the time, they should be back soon.

Soon after, a guard approached from outside, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the Continent Lord, a letter has come from Hermit Continent."

"Oh?"

Shen Che took the letter, glanced at it briefly, and his expression changed.

Murakumo Chikawa and Amaterasu Senno exchanged glances, speculating that something must have happened on Hermit Continent!

Could it be that something happened to Chen Tang on Hermit Continent?

"What’s going on?"

"Let me see it!"

Murakumo Chikawa stepped forward and directly snatched the letter.

Amaterasu Senno also leaned in for a closer look.

The first sentence of the letter stated that the Hidden Sect, the Four Great Elders of the Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest, and the Twelve Floor Lords of Shadow Tower, had all died at the hands of Chen Tang!

Sss!

The two old men gasped, their scalps tingling.

Although the Hidden Sect hadn’t entered the Transformation Realm, it was once considered a potential threat to Grandmasters of the Transformation Realm.

Assassinating Emperor Wu and surviving was in itself a miracle.

Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of a young man in his twenties!

Following that was the current situation of Hermit Continent.

Ming Yue Wanderer had become the chief of the Dongyi Race, and new Four Great Elders of the Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest, as well as new Twelve Floor Lords, had been chosen.

The basic framework of Hermit Continent remained unchanged, but after a month of adjustment, it had mostly stabilized, no longer taking assassination jobs and mainly focusing on farming and commerce.

The Continent Lord of Hermit Continent was the former Ghost Concealment.

At this moment, someone announced, and Murakumo Kyo came in from outside, saying, "Grandfather, there is news from Donglai Continent."

"What does it say?"

Murakumo Chikawa asked.

Murakumo Kyo took a deep breath before slowly saying, "The Mystic Masters of Donglai Continent have been completely wiped out, none survived."

Murakumo Chikawa was stunned.

"What about Spiritual Wave True Monarch?"

He asked a moment later.

Spiritual Wave True Monarch was originally the Continent Lord of Donglai Continent.

Murakumo Kyo shook his head and said, "Spiritual Wave True Monarch had left Donglai Continent for Nanxia earlier and never returned, thus avoiding this disaster."

Amaterasu Senno quietly marveled and softly murmured, "Donglai, Celestial Cauldron, and Hermit, these three states all under his control, it’s no wonder he doesn’t want to be the Continent Lord of Celestial Cauldron; he aims to become the Lord of the East Sea!"

Though Chen Tang never stated it outright, his sweeping of the three Eastern Sea states made him the actual Lord of the East Sea in everyone’s eyes!

Murakumo Chikawa seemed to realize something, suddenly shuddered, instinctively looked at Shen Che beside him, smiled, and said, "Continent Lord, what were you saying just now, let’s continue the discussion, I think your points are very valid."

"Yes, yes."

Amaterasu Senno promptly echoed, "The Continent Lord is right."
