Seven Killings Order, Ripples Begin to Rise

Seeing that Lu Qing was not afraid of the Seven Killings Hall's possible assassination attempt, even the Plain-Clothed Youth felt admiration.

At this moment, even he had to admit that what "Heavenly Lone Star" said before his death did indeed make some sense.

Lu Qing might very well be an unparalleled genius born before the Era of Great Strife, possessing Destiny Fortune in his destiny.

"Young Master Lu, this might actually be an opportunity for you."

Seeing Lu Qing's composed demeanor, the Plain-Clothed Youth admired him and joked.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Lu Qing was slightly taken aback.

"The Seven Killings Hall is a mysterious sect with an ancient heritage, and it also adheres to some ancient rules."

The kill order issued from within the Seven Killings Hall is called the Seven Killings Order.

Once the Seven Killings Order is activated, you will face assassination attempts from the entire Seven Killings Hall, but these assassinations are not unlimited.

According to the rules of the Seven Killings Order, it can only attempt to assassinate you a maximum of seven times.

If you survive seven attempts, the Seven Killings Hall will lift the assassination attempt on you and treat you with the highest honors.

They will not only treat you as Honored Guest, but also promise never to accept any assassination missions related to you again.

At the same time, it will also announce to the entire Assassin World that you have become Honored Guest of the Seven Killings Hall, and any other assassin organization that attempts to assassinate you will be regarded as a provocation against the Seven Killings Hall and will face retaliation from the entire Seven Killings Hall.

Furthermore, it is said that in addition to these, the Seven Killings Hall will also offer a special opportunity.

However, the specifics of this opportunity remain unknown to everyone.

The Plain-Clothed Youth stunned everyone with his explanation.

I never imagined that the assassinations by the Seven Killings Hall had so many intricacies involved.

"Your Excellency Zhi Rui, according to what you've said, does that mean that as long as someone survives the Seven Killings Order, they will actually receive the protection of the Seven Killings Hall?" Wei Xinghe asked.

"Not bad," the Plain-Clothed Youth nodded.

Lu Qing then asked, "May I ask Your Excellency Zhi Rui, has anyone ever survived this Seven Killings Order?"

"Yes!" the Plain-Clothed Youth affirmed.

"The Seven Killings Order of the Seven Killings Hall is not issued lightly, but according to the records of my Heaven's Secret Pavilion, the Seven Killings Hall has issued at least several hundred Seven Killings Order in the past ten thousand years."

The events are too ancient to be verified, but in the last thousand years, a total of three people have survived the pursuit of the Seven Killings Order.

The most recent one was a figure from three hundred years ago.

And those three, just as rumored, received the protection of the Seven Killings Hall, and thereafter, they were never assassinated in any form for the rest of their lives.

It is rumored that one of them had a bounty on his head from a newly emerging assassin organization.

But as soon as the bounty was posted, before anyone could even accept the mission, the assassin organization was completely eradicated overnight.

It is precisely because of these events that people believe the Seven Killings Hall truly adheres to the rules of the Seven Killings Order.

In the past thousand years, only three people have successfully survived the assassination attempt by the Seven Killings Order!

Upon hearing this, everyone finally realized just how difficult this task was.

Good heavens, the odds are so low, even "nine out of ten chances of survival" doesn't even begin to describe it.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were doomed to die.

No wonder the Seven Killings Hall made such a promise; for them, it's rare to find someone who can survive the Seven Killings Order's pursuit, perhaps only once every few centuries.

If you were to actually encounter someone who could escape the Seven Killings Hall's pursuit seven times without dying, they would undoubtedly be an exceptionally Destiny Fortune genius with extraordinary fortune.

What harm is there in temporarily retreating and giving way to such beings?

After a moment's thought, some astute guests immediately understood the secret behind it.

This rule of the Seven Killings Hall, though seemingly restrictive, is actually a way out left for them.

"So, Young Master Lu, you don't need to worry that the Seven Killings Hall will break its promise after you pass the Seven Killings Order. This is an ancient rule that the Seven Killings Hall has passed down for ten thousand years, and they cannot violate it," the Plain-Clothed Youth said in conclusion.

"I would never entrust my life to someone else's promise."

Lu Qing remained unmoved and said calmly.

"Whether the rules of the Seven Killings Order are real or fake, I don't care. If the Seven Killings Hall really wants to assassinate me, then it should be prepared to become my enemy. At that time, when to stop will not be up to them."

Lu Qing is not someone who is willing to be passively beaten.

If the Seven Killings Hall really intends to assassinate him, then it's hard to say who will be the hunter and who will be the hunted.

Sensing the Leng Yi in Lu Qing's words, the Plain-Clothed Youth felt a chill run down his spine.

He then realized that the person in front of him was not as kind as he appeared on the surface.

The other guests felt a chill run down their spines.

Especially for Ma Gu, the scene he involuntarily recalled in Happy Life Stronghold where Lu Qing stood in the firelight with a long knife in hand, surrounded by rolling heads, corpses strewn everywhere, and blood flowing all over the ground.

Because of the assassination attempt by "Heavenly Lone Star," the apprenticeship ceremony held by the Wei Clan had to end hastily.

However, apart from the Qian Clan, the other guests were not disappointed at all.

They gained a great deal from participating in the Wei Clan's apprenticeship ceremony this time.

Not only did they witness a duel between martial arts masters, but they also learned a lot of secret information that they would never have been able to access before.

Some astute individuals, in particular, gleaned crucial information from the conversation between the Plain-Clothed Youth and the assassin.

For example, those disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Pavilion.

"What is this unprecedented upheaval?"

In a small courtyard, several disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Pavilion were gathered together, discussing in hushed tones.

"I don't know, but the Heaven's Secret Pavilion has always been mysterious and knows countless secrets. The Seven Killings Hall is also an ancient sect with a history of ten thousand years. For them to be so serious, it must be something extremely important."

"This matter must be reported to the sect. If what those two said is true, and the world is about to undergo a major change, then our Azure Cloud Sword Pavilion must prepare in advance!"

"Seventh Junior Brother, I will write a letter later. You should set off for the sect immediately and report today's events to the sect in full."

"Yes!"

After discussing it for a while and making a decision, the group started talking about other things.

"Speaking of which, that Young Master Lu is truly terrifying. Even the Top Twelve Heavenly Killers of the Seven Killings Hall are no match for him, and they can't even escape."

One of the Azure Cloud Sword Pavilion disciples was still amazed when he recalled what had happened that morning.

The Top Twelve Heavenly Killers of the Seven Killings Hall are all extremely terrifying figures according to the sect's records.

Rumor has it that they all possess the ability to assassinate Martial Dao Grandmaster.

And the facts proved that the rumors were true.

The aura that "Heavenly Lone Star" unleashed at that time was not only terrifying, but also had a strange effect of shocking the mind and freezing thoughts.

Even the Wei Family Head, Martial Dao Grandmaster, seemed to be affected at the time, and his movements became sluggish.

But even such a terrifying assassin was utterly helpless in front of that Young Master Lu, unable to even escape, which was simply unbelievable!

"Yes, it's unbelievable that such a peerless genius exists in a small place like Cang County. I think even the top Direct Disciple of our Sword Pavilion's inner sect are far inferior to this Young Master Lu in terms of talent."

The Elder ' teachings were indeed correct. There are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. There are always geniuses and prodigies in this world who are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

We had previously thought that the people in Cang County were simply ignorant and had never seen a true martial arts master, which was why they believed the rumors and excessively praised that Young Master Lu.

Little did we realize that the real frog in the well was ourselves.

Another disciple echoed the same sentiment.

The remaining few people remained silent upon hearing this.

There was no way around it; the shock Lu Qing brought them was simply too great.

It's unbelievable that a teenager could achieve such martial arts skills.

Even the twelve terrifying assassins of the Seven Killings Hall were easily defeated by him; his strength was simply unbelievable.

More importantly, in addition to his formidable martial arts prowess, he was also skilled in medicine and could easily neutralize the dreaded Blood Fiend Poison of the Seven Killings Hall.

His medical skills were in no way inferior to the martial arts prowess he displayed.

A young boy who has achieved such success in both martial arts and medicine.

This left the Azure Cloud Sword Pavilion disciples feeling shocked and bewildered.

In fact, they were all somewhat relieved at that moment.

Fortunately, during the banquet, after hearing the country young masters praise Lu Qing, although they disagreed, they did not make any sarcastic remarks about the Young Master Lu.

Otherwise, they would all become clowns and be slapped in the face in public.

It seems that following the teachings of the Elder is the right thing to do when traveling.

Always remain humble, no matter when or where, and never become arrogant or complacent because of momentary impulses.

Now, several disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Pavilion have come to a profound realization of how true the teachings of their Elder were back in the sect.

Perhaps this is the true meaning behind the sect's decision to send them out for training.

Just as the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Pavilion were experiencing the meaning of their training...

In a small building in the County Magistrate Residence.

Plain-Clothed Youth sat at a desk, holding a jade pen, and wrote furiously on a book of Crimson Decree Jade Scroll placed on the desk.

As he wrote, the tip of the jade brush shone with light, transforming into characters that fell onto the Crimson Decree Jade Scroll, disappeared into it, and vanished.

After writing continuously for half an hour, the Plain-Clothed Youth wrote down everything that had happened in the past few days in the Crimson Decree Jade Scroll and then passed it on to the sect.

He then put down his pen, stood up, walked to the front of the small building, looked at the distant sky, and his face showed worry.

"A great Ten Thousand Year Shift or pattern) is about to change drastically. Various demonic and Evil Path are also stirring. Where will the Destiny Fortune of Human Race ultimately lead?"

The conversation with "Heavenly Lone Star" made the Plain-Clothed Youth realize that the impending Ten Thousand Year Shift was probably no secret among many top powers.

He was even more worried when he thought about some things that Heaven's Secret Pavilion had investigated in recent years.

I deeply sense that a great upheaval is imminent, and the world is about to descend into chaos. I wonder how many more people will die tragically and how much suffering will ensue.

It is even more uncertain whether their Heaven's Secret Pavilion will be able to adapt to the changing circumstances and preserve itself amidst such a massive upheaval.

He then thought of Lu Qing.

He still hasn't been able to see through this mysterious young man.

Even using the sect's Exotic Treasure, they still couldn't see through its true nature.

It was as if there was always a layer of mist surrounding the other party, which could conceal any investigation or calculation.

Although he couldn't find out Lu Qing's background, he always had a sense of warning. He could feel that Lu Qing's strength was extremely terrifying, and even he might not be his match.

Considering Lu Qing's age and "Heavenly Lone Star's " dying words.

Even the Plain-Clothed Youth couldn't help but somewhat agree with the "Heavenly Lone Star" theory.

Perhaps, Lu Qing really is a peerless genius born before the world is about to change.

Only those born under the heavens, Destiny Fortune, can defy the calculations of the Heaven's Secret Pavilion's Exotic Treasure and conceal their own aura of fortune.

But are these extraordinary geniuses who emerge in response to the times really that terrifying?

The Plain-Clothed Youth recalled some ancient records of the sect.

According to those records, the world will change, heroes will rise up, and many geniuses will emerge to compete for Destiny Fortune.

If all these Child of Destiny possessed talents as terrifying as Lu Qing's, he simply couldn't imagine how dazzling the brilliance of so many peerless geniuses vying for supremacy would be.

How could their Heaven's Secret Pavilion possibly follow the Tianji and guide the trend in the face of these unparalleled geniuses?

The Plain-Clothed Youth felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the sect's ancestral precepts.

He couldn't help but wonder if the sect's founding patriarch had been a bit too far-fetched.

"Zhi Rui, are you there?"

Just as the Plain-Clothed Youth was lost in thought, suddenly, his friend knocked on the door.

"I'm here, come in."

The Plain-Clothed Youth casually put away the jade pen and the Crimson Decree Jade Scroll, and said indifferently.

The door was pushed open, and County Magistrate Yan Canghai walked in, carrying some wine, dishes, and a chess set.

"What is it?" the Plain-Clothed Youth asked.

"Let's have a drink and play chess."

Yan Canghai lifted the object in his hand.

"Didn't you already drink a lot of wine at the Wei Clan this morning? Are you still drinking?"

The Plain-Clothed Youth was speechless. He noticed that his friend seemed to be getting more and more addicted to drinking.

"That little bit of alcohol is nothing; the Seven Killings Hall assassins scared it away long ago."

Yan Canghai set out the wine, dishes, and chessboard on the table without a second thought.

"Come on, I see you seem to have a lot of worries too, why don't you come and have a couple of drinks with me?"

The Plain-Clothed Youth thought for a moment, then sat down at the table without refusing.

His friend poured him a glass of wine.

After having a few drinks and playing a few more chess moves...

Yan Canghai then asked, "Are you troubled by what the Seven Killings Hall assassin said today about the once-in-a -Ten Thousand Year Shift?"

The Plain-Clothed Youth paused, his face expressionless, and said, "It's not something you should know. Don't ask. Have you forgotten the lessons of the past?"

This time, Yan Canghai did not back down, but smiled and said, "It seems that what ' Heavenly Lone Star ' said was true. The world is really about to change."

The Plain-Clothed Youth remained silent.

After a while, he said, "That's right, the world is about to change, but not in the way you imagine."

Yan Canghai, put away your petty thoughts. This is not something you can touch.

If you interfere recklessly, not only you, but even my Heaven's Secret Pavilion, or even the Holy Mountain, could be shattered to pieces and suffer eternal damnation.

Do you want to drag your Yan Family clan to destruction?

Upon hearing this, Yan Canghai's expression finally changed drastically.
