167: The Millennia Change, An Era of Great Contention
However, though “Family Head Qian” changed his expression, he still did not speak.
The cloth-clothed youth did not mind and continued, “It is rumored that the seventy-two Earth Devils and thirty-six Heavenly Gang Killers of Seven Killings Tower, each of them skilled in assassination and stealth techniques, are extremely formidable.
Each of the seventy-two Earth Devils is a Martial Arts expert over the Small Success of the Muscle Bone Realm.
They can change their muscles and bones, disguise their appearance, and assume another identity flawlessly, catching people off guard.
As for the thirty-six Heavenly Gang, they are even more incredible, each one is a strong practitioner above the Internal Organs Realm, possessing various assassination secret techniques.
Moreover, the Internal Organs Realm experts of Seven Killing Tower must have assassinated at least three Martial Artists of the same level to qualify for a position among the Heavenly Gang.
The thirty-six Heavenly Gang Killers are divided into upper, middle, and lower Twelve Gang, based on your cultivation and the ‘Shaking God Secret Technique’ you displayed earlier.
I presume you must be one of the Upper Twelve Gang?”
The more everyone listened, the more shocked they became.
The influence of Seven Killings Tower was too terrifying.
Based on what the cloth-clothed youth said, just the seventy-two Earth Devils and the thirty-six Heavenly Gang were already an incredibly strong force.
Knowing that the entirety of Cang County combined didn’t have many strong practitioners in the Internal Organs Realm.
Not even the State Mansion could gather so many Internal Organs Realm experts.
With the strength of Seven Killings Tower, it would be easy to sweep through a commandery.
“Family Head Qian” initially didn’t want to respond, but as the cloth-clothed youth narrated,
He finally couldn’t help but speak out.
“It’s no wonder you are a disciple from Tianji Building, so knowledgeable about our Seven Killings Tower. But isn’t your Tianji Building always touted as absolutely neutral, not participating in any power struggles? Isn’t what you are doing now a violation of your principles?”
“We from Tianji Building need not explain our actions to such as you, who skulk in the shadows,” the cloth-clothed youth said indifferently.
“Seven Killings Tower in recent years has acted more and more recklessly, committing assassinations and stirring chaos among sects and commanderies, which has gradually begun to affect the stability of the human race. Do you really think no one dares to punish you?”
“Ha ha ha, don’t talk so self-righteously. A great change that hasn’t come in ten thousand years is about to arrive. Who isn’t vying now? Are you really that noble, Tianji Building? Do you think you’re worthy of deciding the fate of the human race?”
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, “Family Head Qian” burst into laughter, his face full of sarcasm.
“Exactly, you guys have found out something!”
The cloth-clothed youth’s expression became solemn, finally obtaining the information he wanted to know.
The recent actions of Seven Killings Tower were indeed part of some scheme.
“Hmph, you so-called Righteous Alliance, do you really think you can conceal the heavens with one hand? Don’t forget, my Seven Killings Tower is also a supreme sect with ten thousand years of inheritance. You think you can block information and monopolize the first mover’s advantage as if the fate of the world is something you, with your sanctimonious mien, can control?”
“Family Head Qian” seemed to no longer care, disclosing the information of his own faction with disregard.
Since he was already misled this time, he naturally wanted to mislead others in return.
The cloth-clothed youth was shaken, knowing the situation was truly developing in the negative direction as the Tower Master had predicted years ago.
The surrounding guests, listening to the conversation between the two, were all confused faces, completely unaware of the significance.
Only Lu Qing sensed something.
He knew that the great changes mentioned by the two were probably related to the resurgence of spiritual energy.
It seemed that those top forces were indeed aware of the rise and fall of spiritual energy.
And they had already begun to make arrangements early to seize the preemptive opportunities.
Looking at “Family Head Qian” with his slightly fierce expression, the cloth-clothed youth fell silent.
At the same time, he was even more anxious.
If things were really as the other party said, it would not take long before the whole world would indeed start to become chaotic.
“Master Wei, I have no other questions to ask. I’ll leave this person for you to deal with.”
Seeing Wei Xinghe standing in front of him again and that cold expression on his face.
“Family Head Qian knew that this time, he probably wouldn’t escape death.
He wasn’t afraid though, having been a top assassin in the Seven Killings Tower, his hands were stained with countless lives, and he was long aware of the possibility of dying on a failed mission.
However, there was one thing he needed to clarify before he could die in peace.
So he said to Wei Xinghe, “I know I’m doomed to die, and I truly don’t know who the employer is, but if you let that young master answer a few of my questions, I can tell you the contents of this assassination mission, and you can guess who the enemy is.”
Wei Xinghe turned to look at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing, his expression unchanged, said calmly, “Ask.”
But he didn’t say whether he would answer.
“I dare to ask you, who was your mentor, and are you a descendant of the Four Great Secret Places?”
In Family Head Qian’s eyes, a devilish genius like Lu Qing was likely to have been nurtured only by those mythical places mentioned in legends.
Unfortunately, those places are ethereal.
Even with the intelligence of the Seven Killings Tower, investigating for thousands of years, they had found nothing.
