The Four Great Taboos of the Cultivation World

This contrast was simply too stark.

Although Li Zi stood straight, her eyes kept drifting uncontrollably toward the group from the Hall of Samsara.

Everyone else, who was pretending to chat, was doing the same.

Because of its remote geographical location, the Hall of Samsara was an extremely mysterious existence in their eyes.

The entire sect was made up of assassins, and their passed-down lineage consisted entirely of assassination techniques.

The Hall of Samsara controlled the most complete intelligence network in the entire continent.

Once, an ancestor had entered the Dao as an assassin, achieved sudden enlightenment in a set of the most venomous and ruthless assassination cultivation methods, and ultimately underwent Tribulation Transcendence to Immortality.

The disciples of this Hall of Samsara practiced the Assassin's Way.

Such a mysterious organization also had gossip to eat?

[That's right, Host. Look at the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara like this—he simply looks like a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin, but in reality, he's actually a love-brain.]

Dozens of burning gazes landed on the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara.

Although the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara had his face hidden beneath black gauze and his expression could not be clearly seen, his body trembled.

He was already starting to consider whether to run away right now.

He was sweating profusely.

He felt as though the black gauze on his face had become a fig leaf, and he almost failed to keep a straight face.

[The Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara has a childhood sweetheart junior sister. The two grew up together and made a lifelong pact, but one day, his junior sister went to the mortal world, fell in love with a prince, and stubbornly insisted on breaking their pact to marry that prince.]

Li Zi glanced at the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara again and preemptively answered, [The Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara killed that prince?]

Everyone else also secretly guessed.

Perhaps the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara directly wiped out that country?

[Of course not. Although the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara was in pain, he still fulfilled the two of them. Later, that prince became the emperor, and the junior sister became the empress. Things changed because the emperor took concubines, and the junior sister was in immense pain. She contacted the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara, complaining to him every single day. The Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara felt heartache for her and even used the sect's power to kill whoever the junior sister wanted killed and obtain the intelligence the junior sister wanted to get.]

The Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara slowly placed one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

He stirred up murderous intent.

If someone could know his past so clearly, it would be no different from exposing his most vulnerable places for others to see.

As the assassin god of the Hall of Samsara, his murderous intent was silent and untraceable; even the Spirit Sword Sect Master had not noticed it.

His gaze fell upon Li Zi.

With just a single move, she could drop dead on the spot.

[But in reality, his junior sister has always been using him.]

The movements of the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara paused.

The hand pressing on the sword hilt slowly tightened, yet the action of drawing the blade stopped.

Using him?

A flash of bewilderment crossed the depths of his eyes.

[The imperial court of that country was in turmoil, and the emperor could not sit firmly on the throne, so he discussed it with the junior sister: using the feelings of the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara for the junior sister to treat the entire sect as a tool for their killings. Their plan was very successful. The Sect Master was extremely doting on the junior sister, obeying her every word, and helped them resolve a great deal of trouble.]

Li Zi frowned, [Isn't this bullying an honest person?]

[And that's not even all. The emperor fell gravely ill and needed a drop of heart blood for treatment. Under the entreaties of the junior sister, the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara directly drew his sword and mutilated himself. But in reality, they intended to use this drop of heart blood to place a Gu parasite on the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara, saying that such a Sect Master would be easier to control and would later become their puppet.]

Li Zi was utterly shocked, [Is this a junior sister? She's an enemy! Even enemies aren't like this.]

The body of the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara trembled once more.

It was true!

Everything matched up!

Just yesterday, his junior sister had come to the sect to beg him for a drop of heart blood to cure her husband's illness.

Without the slightest suspicion, he had taken out the heart blood.

The wound on his chest would need at least two years to fully recover.

His junior sister actually wanted to place a Gu parasite on him?

Li Zi sighed, [A love-brain really is something you can't afford to have. This Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara didn't even stop to think: when the emperor got sick, why on earth did he specifically need his heart blood? Why didn't that junior sister offer her own heart blood instead of demanding someone else's? Is other people's stuff that sweet? Whenever you encounter this kind of person who only knows how to take unilaterally, hurry up and run away. All these people are extremely selfish.]

The system said, [Actually, if the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara went to the imperial palace right now, he might even be able to catch up with the Gu-planting process.]

The next second, the Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara and his disciples vanished on the spot.

The Four Great Taboos of the Cultivation World

Li Zi stared blankly at the spot where the group from the Hall of Samsara had just been staying.

She had to admit that these people from the Hall of Samsara really came and went without a trace.

Sect Master Uncle had even smiled at them, yet they ran off directly without even saying hello.

The system was still holding forth, turning pages at a high speed, [Speaking of love-brains, I have to mention the Sect Master of the Flame Hall. This is a legendary female, yet because of a love-brain, she was misunderstood in all sorts of ways and even ended up with the title of a chaotic female demoness.]

The Sect Master of the Flame Hall?

Everyone's gazes converged toward the Flame Hall side.

The disciples of the Flame Hall all had the same hallmark fire-red hair.

The sect's disciples all possessed fire-type Spiritual Roots, and the cultivation method they practiced was also the purest "Blazing Sun Technique" in the world. When practiced to a certain realm, they could even draw the heart fire of the sun into their bodies for their own use.

Those with exuberant Yang energy within their bodies were generally mostly males, yet stubbornly, a chaotic demoness had emerged from within their sect.

Huo Fei.

Back then, she relied on her formidable talent to stand out from among a crowd of male disciples, and even directly defeated her Master in the tenth year after entering the sect, successfully seizing the position of Sect Master of the Flame Hall.

Everyone in the cultivation world envied the Flame Hall for possessing such a Heaven's Chosen who could lead the Flame Hall to steadily sit upon the throne of the number one grand sect in the cultivation world.

Unexpectedly, she ultimately became the number one catastrophe of the cultivation world.

Back then, it was precisely because of this Huo Fei that tens of thousands of people died in the demonic cultivator war.

Afterward, the Flame Hall was constantly ostracized by the major sects.
