Single-handedly wiping out the Wind and Rain Tower

Rock Island.

The edge of the Island rises more than ten meters above the sea, forming near-vertical Cliff Face. Waves crash against the Cliff Face, splashing up bursts of spray, as darkness gradually falls.

The entire island sits abandoned on the Sea.

There are two moments in the world when one is most lonely.

I took a nap until six or seven in the afternoon, and the house was empty, with only the faint sounds of noise coming from the street.

And, the night falling in the depths of the Sea.

Humans are social animals.

Especially when facing danger, even having a useless person by your side makes you feel much more at ease.

Shao Qiu was almost completely still, clinging to the protrusion of the rock wall in this position. He had been soaking in the seawater for a long time and was the only one who had come here.

This place is far from the mainland, so other people can't come here.

It was getting dark.

He patiently waited for the perfect moment.

Because he joined the Mortal Domain, he knew more secret information.

For example...

Four years later, the Strange Tide descends.

The island will be the first to die. Normally, this island is indeed a natural stronghold, and there is no need to build Island City Wall around it. However, once the Undersea Strange Tide Landing, this location will be completely isolated and helpless, becoming the front line.

Even if he doesn't take action.

These people won't live for more than a few years.

But how could he not take action?

Shao Qiu switched hands and gripped the protruding rock face, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. Just thinking about what he was going to do that night made him tremble uncontrollably. The adrenaline rush was more intense than anything a woman could experience.

Someone once told him that becoming famous at a young age is not a good thing.

Perhaps that person is right.

He rose to fame at the age of 17, suffered a setback in the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, and was imprisoned for seven years. Now, having joined the Mortal Domain and returned to his soul, he is finally able to unleash his full potential once again. In this life, he seeks neither wealth nor immortality, but only fame.

A person lives forty or eighty years.

Actually, there is no difference.

Only one stroke can be left in history books, but some people leave a thick mark, while others leave a thin one. He wants to be one of the thick marks.

Everyone in this world has something they are good at, even the most inconspicuous ordinary person has something they are good at, and everyone also has their own hobbies and dreams.

What defines a genius?

When what you're good at is what you love, and it's also your dream.

He's a genius.

Therefore, he never shied away from calling himself a genius, and he truly was.

It got dark.

The Eternal Night, like a curtain, surged in rapidly from the horizon, enveloping the entire Sea in the blink of an eye.

Shao Qiu turned his head and looked towards the end of the sky. One day, he would definitely go to the end of the sky to see where the Eternal Night came from. But his body did not delay at all. He used both hands and feet to crawl out of the sea and lay on the rock wall seven or eight meters high.

This height allows you to avoid most of the Strange Entities in the sea.

It also allows them to remain undetected by the people on the Island.

He was waiting to fall asleep.

Two hours later.

The entire Island fell silent, becoming utterly quiet, with only the faint sound of snoring. No one in this world had the habit of staying up late; after all, with the Eternal Nightfall, one couldn't get anything done while staying up.

With his entire body pressed against the rock wall, Shao Qiu released his right hand, pulled out Dagger, and quickly stabbed a special Vein Patterns on his left arm before placing his index finger on the Vein Patterns and murmuring something.

"Heaven-Hiding!"

The next moment -

His entire body was almost completely integrated with the rock wall, making him virtually undetectable.

He began to climb quickly.

There was no sound of breathing, no sound of climbing.

They climbed up the Cliff Face like ghosts.

At the age of 17, he went to the Slaying Immortal Holy Land and used this Martial Technique to evade all of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land's detection methods. In the end, he was discovered by the Exotic Beast of the Immortal Slaying Immortal Holy Land. This Martial Technique requires sacrificing one's Lifespan to use.

He sacrificed himself for 50 years that time.

The "Wind and Rain Tower" is far inferior to the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, and there is no need to offer sacrifices for so many years.

He sacrificed one year of his Lifespan, which was enough.

This is a Yellow Grade Martial Technique.

Just by looking at the grade, you can tell how strong this Martial Technique is. Moreover, this Martial Technique exclusive to "Living Dead" Cultivator, perfectly suited to them. Furthermore, among all Martial Technique, those that sacrifice Lifespan are definitely the most powerful.

These three factors combined make his Stealth abilities completely superior to those of Wind and Rain Tower.

Shao Qiu has already climbed to the Island.

The entire Island is a large Natural Eerie Fire Zone.

He strode out into the depths of the Island without any disguise, walking straight into the Island's interior. However, at a glance, he was completely invisible, as he and the Eternal Night behind him seemed to merge into one.

There are no City Wall on the Island.

However, several Cannon Tower were placed there.

Only...

He calmly walked past a Cannon Tower, slowly pushed open the door to a room, and the Cannon Tower did not react at all, completely ignoring him. Inside the room, six burly men were sleeping.

There were no visible or hidden sentry posts on the entire Island.

Too.

The fact that a power doesn't even build City Wall is enough to prove that they are extremely confident in their geographical location and natural defenses, so why would they need to leave people to guard the city at night?

He walked forward quietly.

Like a shadow, it appeared beside a bed in the deepest part of the room, holding Dagger in its right hand with specially designed blood grooves on both sides to minimize the sound of blood splattering when cutting.

Their alertness is too poor.

Shao Qiu murmured to himself.

They were sleeping so soundly.

With his left hand, he lightly and delicately covered the other's mouth and nose, while simultaneously, with his right hand, he thrust the Dagger upwards at an extremely precise angle into the junction of the jaw and neck.

The blade pierced through the soft tissue, precisely reaching the deepest point, and then gently stirred.

The burly man's body twitched almost imperceptibly, and he died without even uttering the slightest whimper.

Do the same thing.

The second one, the third one.

The movements are precise and repetitive, like a machine.

Soon.

The sixth man in the house also died at his hands. There were no surprises. All six men died in their sleep. He was quick enough that they didn't even wake up when they died.

Everyone will die.

No one can live forever.

Therefore, choosing a way to die that suits you is a compulsory course that everyone must go through.

Being silently killed in one's sleep is considered a rather pleasant and comfortable way to die.

At least it's much better than drowning or being torn apart alive by Strange Entities.

Shao Qiu gently wiped the blood from the Dagger onto the rough Hemp Robe of the last target, stood still and listened intently. There was no sound outside; it seemed no one was paying attention to the Life Tablet at night.

Otherwise, the shattering of six Life Tablet would have already alarmed the entire faction.

He slowly left the room and put the door back in its original position.

Continue towards the other houses.

All detection methods were ineffective against him; no alarms sounded. He was like a silent ghost, mechanically reaping lives as night fell.

Until the Eternal Night receded as scheduled, like the tide.

The first pale rays of dawn shone down.

Shao Qiu, dressed in A White Robe with a few bloodstains, stood at the edge of the Seaside, playing with the Dagger in his hand, gazing at the sunrise slowly rising over the distant horizon, his face full of smiles.

The smell of blood and the sea on the Island mingled together, creating an extremely tempting, slightly sweet aroma.

One person.

One night.

Alone and single-handed, he was expelled from the Wind and Rain Tower) list.

The largest Assassin organization?

It's far inferior to his previous Godslayer Hall.

How should I boast to the Domain Lord about my trip when I get back? I have to praise him.

Time flies, and a day passes quickly.

The sky gradually darkened again.

Several lone boats drifted on the sea. As planned, his Shadow Pavilion members had come to pick him up. They would spend the night here taking stock of their spoils, and then pack them up to take back to the Mortal Domain the next day.

Take everything you can.

At this moment, Shao Qiu once again left behind the familiar "Shadow Pavilion" mark on the Island, along with a "Shadow Pavilion Death Warrant".

Pity.

It's uncertain when this place will be discovered; perhaps it will be a very long time from now.

After all, this Island is indeed secluded.

Mortal Domain.

It was late at night.

The Auction is tomorrow, and Crippled Monkey and the others are busy in the Camp, making final preparations for the Auction.

Meanwhile, inside the Inn in Mortal City.

The Family Head of the Gongyang Clan, an Elderly Man with white temples, personally led the Trade Association. He sat in the Inn, looked at Gongyang Yue with a wronged expression, and remained silent for a long time before turning his head to look at Gongyang Yiyue beside him and speaking in a hoarse voice.

"My wife died young, and I was afraid she would follow in her footsteps, so I never let her go out. She was a simple-minded person."

"She's immature, but aren't you immature too?"

Do you know what it means to rashly intrude into a powerful force during the Eternal Night?

"Especially since you're a Night Watcher."

Don't you know that yourself?

Gongyang Yiyue lowered his head and sighed softly. In fact, he really wanted to say that although he looked like a Middle-Aged Man, he was also the Grand Supreme Elder of the Gongyang Clan and seemed to hold a high position and great power.

But he's Night Watcher.

He was activated once, but he actually only lived for nine years.

To put it bluntly...

He's just a nine-year-old child, but nobody treats him like one, so he can't act like one either. He has to slowly learn how to handle unexpected situations like an adult.

"Father."

Gongyang Yue cautiously approached the head of the Gongyang Family Head: "This matter has nothing to do with the Elder. It was my own willful act. I have already apologized to Domain Lord Chen, and he said he doesn't mind."

"Don't you care?"

The head of the Gongyang Family Head said with a grim expression, "That's because Domain Lord Chen is giving Qi Yue a break. Otherwise, if you had led a Night Watcher into another force's territory without even giving a notice, what would that be any different from Declaration of War?"

"To put it bluntly."

"If Domain Lord Chen had made a move back then, the entire Gongyang Clan would have been dragged to the brink of death. When you go out, you represent the Gongyang Clan. Your every word and action represents my behavior. You can't keep thinking that you are just yourself."

"And do you think that everything will be fine once you apologize?"

"Father..."

Tears welled in Gongyang Yue's eyes; his father had never spoken to him in such a tone before.

"Never mind."

The Family Head the Gongyang family was about to say something, but seeing his daughter's appearance, he felt a pang of pity. After a soft sigh, he looked at Gongyang Yiyue, paused for a moment, and then spoke softly.

I don't have many years left to live.

"The originally designated heir of the Gongyang Clan was Qi Yue."

"But now that Qi Yue has joined the Mortal Domain and is finding another husband for Gongyang Yue, let alone whether she's willing, given her personality, she won't be able to control her husband. In the end, the entire Gongyang Clan will become a sacrifice in someone else's hands."

Many people will die.

So one-

"The main purpose of this trip is not the Auction, but to find a way to merge the Gongyang Clan into the Mortal Domain, so that Qi Yue can still be the heir of the Gongyang Clan."

Qi Yue has now broken through to the Martial King.

"His status in the Mortal Domain is not low either."

"Enough to protect the Gongyang Clan."

"This..." Gongyang Yiyue found it hard to accept, and stood up in a daze, saying, "Family Head, this... the Gongyang Clan will be extinct from now on. With our 'Hidden City,' our Gongyang Yue clan will be safe and sound."

The Elderly Man, clearly quite old, walked wearily to the window and said hoarsely, "The Gongyang Clan has no successor. No matter how secluded the city is, it's useless. Many powerful forces have crumbled from within."

"It will be difficult to gain the support of the people if anyone is appointed as the successor, and internal strife and a power struggle will inevitably break out."

"Merging it under the Mortal Domain and letting Qi Yue take over is the best choice; no one dares to question it."

What is the greatest significance of the Family?

"It's about bringing everyone together to Huddle for Warmth, so we can survive the Eternal Night."

I believe it.

"One day the Eternal Night will fade away. Since it has faded away before, it will surely fade away again now. It's just a pity that I won't be able to see that day. I hope that the descendants of the Gongyang Clan will be able to see it."

"Go to sleep."

I'm a little tired.

Actually, there was something he didn't say.

From the perspective of the Family lineage alone, marrying Qi Yue is not the best choice; marrying Chen Fan would be.

He didn't even dare to think about it.

What a sight that must have been!

Although Chen Fan is still young and doesn't need to worry about succession, a faction must have a designated successor to ensure stable development; otherwise, Chen Fan might die in an accident.

The entire force was instantly leaderless.

The Mortal Domain crumbled.

If Chen Fan left behind his Heartblood before his death, someone could inherit Chen Fan buildings based on Heartblood. But if he died suddenly and didn't leave behind Heartblood, all these buildings would turn into ruins, and the various Pavilion Master of the Mortal Domain would have to disperse.

But he knew that was unrealistic.

So I didn't say that.

It's pointless to say anything.

Mortal Domain, Camp.

Chen Fan looked in front of him and saw Zhao Shengping carefully picking up an extremely inconspicuous clod of earth covered with thick yellow mud with tweezers, and then picking up Hammer.

When the Soil is broken up.

An indescribable fragrance instantly dispelled the Winter Season chill and brought a touch of warmth to the Camp.

The moment the outer shell peels off.

Steam rose up.

A fragrance mingled with the bitterness of lotus leaves, the aroma of Soil, and the scent of some kind of fruitwood instantly filled the air, revealing the whole chicken inside, roasted to a glistening amber color.

My skin is taut.

Not a single spot was charred.

It's as perfect as a work of art.

If the maximum score is ten, this Beggar's Chicken would get a 7 out of 10 based on its appearance alone.
