CHAPTER 1254: CHAPTER 1252: SUBJUGATION

This speed was extremely fast, even reaching the peak of the Eighth Layered Venerable level.

I’m afraid no one of the same rank could catch up.

It seems this middle-aged assassin, in order to escape, was willing to use any price to deploy a secret technique.

Lin Xuan scoffed disdainfully, as two clusters of black flames emerged from his eyes, instantly flying towards the sky,

Then, the two flames rapidly expanded in the void, burning across the sky, and finally forming a Black Flame Cage, instantly enveloping the middle-aged assassin.

Rumble rumble rumble!

A thunderous roar resounded, as a black cage floated in the void ahead, tightly trapping the middle-aged assassin.

Lin Xuan then took a step forward, instantly arriving outside the cage.

"Even if you kill me, you won’t get any information!"

The middle-aged assassin gritted his teeth, his voice filled with determination.

As an assassin, life isn’t the most important thing; preserving secrets is!

Yet Lin Xuan didn’t ask further. With a thought, a gigantic black flaming hand materialized within the black cage and grabbed the assassin’s head.

In the next moment, Lin Xuan flipped his palm, and a small black tripod appeared in his hand.

Beast Slave Seal!

Black light flashed, instantly entering the middle-aged assassin’s forehead. Soon, he ceased resisting, floating in the void like a puppet.

Lin Xuan didn’t kill him but planted a Beast Slave Seal, turning him completely into a servant.

The flames in the sky disappeared, all returning to Lin Xuan’s body.

Lin Xuan, with hands behind his back, didn’t act further. At this moment, there was no obstacle around the assassin, yet he didn’t flee.

Not only that, the black mist around his body dissipated, revealing his true face.

He was a middle-aged man, with a lean face, wearing a set of black soft armor with tiny spikes on it.

At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Xuan, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Master."

"Hmm."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly; "Return to your organization and gather intelligence for me."

"Remember, don’t expose yourself, and don’t let Ling Feng get suspicious."

"Yes, I understand."

The middle-aged man nodded, his expression respectful.

If one looked closely, they would notice he looked normal, with no signs of being controlled.

This is the power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod; with the Beast Slave Seal cast by Lin Xuan, no one below the king could detect it.

"Alright, you may go," Lin Xuan waved his hand.

Subsequently, the middle-aged assassin respectfully bowed once more, and then his form turned into a wisp of smoke, disappearing into the air.

Seeing the assassin leave, Lin Xuan took a step back, returning to the back of the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle.

"Alright, the trouble is resolved, let’s proceed." Lin Xuan sat cross-legged.

"Huh? Okay!"

Yu Fei then snapped out of his shock, and asked in confusion, "Brother Xuan, are we really letting that person go?"

"Don’t worry, he is now one of mine, there won’t be any problems."

Lin Xuan smiled mysteriously.

Yu Fei nodded, although he didn’t understand, he trusted Lin Xuan.

So the next moment, he once again channeled his spiritual power, forming a palace, and then urged the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle to continue flying.

Yu Fei didn’t understand, but the two watching Ninth Elder were extremely shocked.

"Did just Young Master control that assassin?"

"Must be. Seeing how respectful the assassin was towards Young Master, he definitely was controlled, otherwise Young Master wouldn’t have let him go."

The Tenth Elder also took a deep breath, "This method of control is terrifying, an Eighth Layered Heaven Venerable Martial Artist didn’t resist at all."

"Don’t think too much, Young Master is too mysterious, we just need to loyally assist him."

The Ninth Elder was indeed very excited, having seen Lin Xuan’s methods boosted his confidence greatly.

The group flew quickly towards the Shen Family’s palace.

Meanwhile, the mysterious middle-aged man returned to the Sky Net Organization.

It’s likely that no one could imagine that the Blood Domain’s renowned assassin would be in such a place.

This is a bustling street, surrounded by shops, with ordinary people passing by.

Even if there are martial artists, they are all low-level ones, and Venerables are rare to be seen.

It could be said to be a very ordinary town.

However, the middle-aged assassin landed on the street, but now the black soft armor was gone, replaced by ordinary clothes.

Moreover, he no longer had the murderous aura of a Killing God, looking just like a regular person.

Probably, no one would guess he was a Sky Net Organization assassin.

The middle-aged assassin, known as Lie Ying, entered a very ordinary shop.

This is a tailor shop, with only an old, droopy-eyed man and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy inside.

These two people nodded slightly when they saw the middle-aged man Lie Ying enter, then paid no more attention.

Lie Ying also nodded slightly and quickly passed through the shop, arriving at the backyard.

Soon, he stood in front of a wilting willow tree, slapped the ground, and a black hole appeared beneath him.

Without hesitation, Lie Ying leaped into the black hole.

In the next instant, the black hole disappeared, the ground restored to its original state.

Enter the black hole, Lie Ying seemed to be transmitted by an array, arriving at a very mysterious place.

This is the Sky Net Organization.

"Lie Ying, weren’t you on a mission? You’re back so soon?"

At this point, Lie Ying, who appeared normal just a moment ago, suddenly became weak, blood gushing from him, he cried out frantically.

"The mission failed, quickly notify Young Master Ling Feng!"

Seeing Lie Ying on the verge of collapse, the surrounding assassins panicked and rushed forward to rescue him.

"Lie Ying, are you alright?"

"He’s severely injured, quickly send him for treatment."

Everyone had no doubts, thinking the mission failed and Lie Ying was seriously injured.

But Lie Ying deeply buried his face in the shadows, a strange smile playing on his lips.

More than half a month later, Lin Xuan and his group arrived in Sky Wind Country.

This is also a very powerful nation on the Heavenly Martial Continent, with the Sky Wind Country’s royal family being a top Sixth Grade sect.

The Shen Family’s headquarters is not in Sky Wind Country, but Shen Lingchuan is here.

Shen Lingchuan is the ninth son of the Shen Family Patriarch, also an influential elder in the Shen Family.

His cultivation had reached the Ninth Layered Heaven Venerable, and he controlled many important resources of the Shen Family, making him an essential figure.

He is also Shen Jingqiu’s father.

This time, Shen Jingqiu’s birthday celebration is being held in Sky Wind Country.

Upon arriving in Sky Wind Country, Lin Xuan and the others could feel the festive atmosphere.

In the sky, rare exotic beasts flew, and on the ground, many war chariots sped.

These exotic beasts bore powerful martial artists, obviously having come from all over the Heavenly Martial Continent to attend the birthday celebration.

All these people were heading in one direction, which was also Lin Xuan and his companions’ destination.
