Chapter 179 The Assassin Appears
Divine runes were everywhere. They were one of the basic elements that made up the entire world. They were the external embodiment of the laws of nature.
Because of this, any action would touch the divine runes and leave behind traces.
It was impossible for ordinary cultivators to capture these traces.
Only Array Masters could see the Divine Inscriptions, and only powerful Array Masters could find the tiniest traces within them.
It was said that powerful Array Masters could even use the divine runes to go back in time and replay what happened thousands of years ago.
However, that was an ability that only Array Masters who were close to the level of God could have.
Although Ye Chengming was a Master, he should not have reached that level.
However, it should be possible to use the divine runes to find traces left behind by a person.
Just as Zhao Mu was distracted, Ye Chengming threw a divine rune to him.
"I'll leave this area to you. Don't worry, you must identify it carefully. If you find anything unusual, tell me immediately," Ye Chengming instructed.
Zhao Mu nodded.
This divine rune was only as thin as a strand of hair, but it contained a huge amount of information. Zhao Mu only glanced at it briefly, and he felt that his mind was overloaded.
If he had not broken through to the Eighth Stage, he would not have been able to do this.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Mu calmed his mind and began to analyze the divine runes to find clues.
The enemy could still be hiding in the Vast Star Sacred Ground. There must be traces to follow.
Zhao Mu was completely focused. Billions of divine runes flowed before his eyes. His mind was completely immersed in it. He felt like he was digging three feet into the ground to find an ant.
It was difficult, but not impossible.
After 15 minutes, the divine rune in Zhao Mu's hand had been completely checked. There were no abnormalities.
Ye Chengming had already checked four divine runes. His efficiency was several times higher than Zhao Mu's.
A Master was indeed a Master. He was indeed powerful.
Zhao Mu took out another divine rune and continued to search.
Suddenly, Zhao Mu's expression changed.
"There's something unusual here."
As soon as Zhao Mu finished speaking, Ye Chengming quickly rushed over. He grabbed the divine rune and immediately locked onto the abnormality.
"Found it!"
As soon as Ye Chengming spoke, Grand Elder Wen Xingluo rushed over.
"Where is the demon hiding?"
Ye Chengming pointed at a spot in the southwest direction of the Vast Star Holy Land.
Without another word, Wen Xingluo charged over.
Sword God Qu Liu's gaze also locked onto this place. For a moment, the stars in the sky seemed to have dimmed quite a bit. A formless sword intent hung high up in the sky, causing people to tremble in fear.
The two elders, Teacher Zhou and Bai Muxue, moved at the same time.
With this kind of momentum, even if the other party was a Heaven Tier elite, they would most likely have no chance of winning.
Zhao Mu was about to join in the fun, but was stopped by Ye Chengming. "The enemy's strength is unknown. Be careful. Walk behind me, lest you get caught in the crossfire."
"Elder Ye is right." Zhao Mu nodded.
After all, he was only in the Deity Transformation Realm. If the battle was fierce and he was accidentally injured, it wouldn't be worth it.
However, he still had to join in the fun. After all, he was the one who had found her.
Moreover, Zhao Mu felt a sense of familiarity from the traces of the divine runes.
This made him rather curious.
"Slash!"
Thunder rumbled from the ground.
A loud sound came from the southwest.
Zhao Mu looked sideways and saw the heavenly thunder and fire burning in the sky. The soaring thunder and fire lit up the entire Vast Star Holy Land.
The scarlet fire reflected on Zhao Mu's face, and an evil and strange aura rushed over.
Ye Chengming waved his hand and condensed a huge shield boundary to prevent the fire from spreading.
He frowned. "This aura … Could it be …?"
As if sensing something, Ye Chengming pushed the protective barrier towards the southwest.
Gale novel.
Zhao Mu followed closely behind.
He finally understood why there was a familiar feeling.
This evil aura was similar to the aura of the evil cultivator he met in the Zhou Nation's palace.
Ghost Sect!
Could it be that the assassin who assassinated Grand Elder Wen Xingluo was not a demon but an evil cultivator from Ghost Sect?
The guts of the Ghost Dao Sect were too big.
Zhao Mu quickly followed Ye Chengming's footsteps and approached the battlefield.
After approaching, Zhao Mu realized that the battle had ended.
Countless sword aura shadows had completely sealed the assassin.
One of the sword intent even penetrated the assassin's spiritual altar and nailed him in the air, preventing him from escaping.
The powerful Sword Intent even caused a crack to appear in space, stirring up a wild and violent Void Storm.
It was as if doomsday had arrived, and Zhao Mu was moved.
This sword was definitely from the sword pair, from Sword God Qu Liu.
A casual slash of Sword Intent could pierce through space?
How terrifying was this sword intent?
This was the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign!
"Ghost Dao Sect!"
What are you guys planning? "
Wen Xingluo was also an experienced and knowledgeable person. After recognizing the origin of the assassin, he was quite surprised. The one who attacked him was actually not from the Demon Clan, but an evil cultivator from the Ghost Dao Sect. This was really out of his expectations.
"Kekekeke … To be able to die under Sword God Qu Liu's Star Slashing Sword Intent, I can die without regrets. There's no need for Sword God to do it personally. I'll settle it myself."
The evil cultivator laughed strangely. Suddenly, his body burst into red lightning flames that shot into the sky. In the blink of an eye, his physical body was completely burned, leaving not even ashes behind.
He would rather die than reveal a word of the secret!
Zhao Mu was moved.
How could the people from Ghost Sect be so fierce?
"This …"
Wen Xingluo was stunned. He did not expect this outcome. He looked at Qu Liu. "Sword God, what do you think about this …"
Qu Liu thought for a moment and said, "Strengthen the security inside and outside the Holy Land. Inform the disciples that there is no need to go out for the next few days. I will make a decision after I find out the intentions of the Ghost Path Sect."
"Understood."
Qu Liu then looked at Ye Chengming and Zhao Mu and said, "I hope that the two of you will not spread what happened today for the time being. In addition, the construction of the protective formation will continue as usual. You must complete it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Sword God!"
Before he finished speaking, Sword God Qu Liu flew back to the Luo Fu Sword Palace.
Wen Xingluo and Teacher Zhou also left immediately.
Bai Muxue, on the other hand, stayed behind and hooked her finger at Zhao Mu.
"Me?"
Zhao Mu was a little surprised. Why was Bai Muxue looking for him?
Ye Chengming was also very curious, but he had to go and build the protective array now, so he didn't have time to continue wasting time here.
"Since Elder Bai has called for you, just go over. This old man will take his leave first. If you have time, come and help me build the array."
"Alright, Old Ye."
After seeing Ye Chengming off, Zhao Mu walked towards Bai Muxue.
"Young Master, would you like to come to my cave residence for a chat?"
Hooking her finger and inviting me to her cave residence?
What, this big sister has taken a fancy to me?
Fine, I'll go. I'm not afraid of you. Are you going to eat me up?
"Then I shall accept your invitation."
