Chapter 886: The Black Blood Tower’s List of a.s.sa.s.sination Targets, a Planted Fuse
“T-The Young Master is dead?!”
“Retreat!”
The surviving a.s.sa.s.sins gave up defending the branch and started escaping. However, an invisible energy field suddenly enveloped their surroundings just as they were about to flee. It was Chu Kuangren’s miniverse!
Upon seeing that, the escaping a.s.sa.s.sins tried to fend off it with their miniverses.
However, they were just too weak.
Compared to Chu Kuangren, their miniverse was not worth mentioning at all. Soon, everyone was slammed to the ground by Chu Kuangren.
Following that, Chu Kuangren unleashed his Single Thought Series.
Thousands of spiritual weapons appeared in the void.
They immediately rained down upon the a.s.sa.s.sins, killing them off one by one.
Within a few moments, the a.s.sa.s.sins from this Black Blood Tower’s branch were all dead!
Next to him, Duan Muhong was stunned.
She praised internally. “As expected of the Sword Poem Immortal. This technique of his is truly overpowering. It’s simply unbelievable!”
Chu Kuangren then walked towards one of the buildings nearby.
Duan Muhong quickly followed.
“Jian Sanjue is locked in a dungeon below that building. You go and rescue him first. I’ll look around for a while.”
Chu Kuangren said.
At that, Duan Muhong nodded. “Alright.”
…
As one of the most elite a.s.sa.s.sin organizations in the Violet Gold Galaxy, even a small branch like that would contain many hidden treasures within it.
After searching through the area, Chu Kuangren did obtain many valuable items. In terms of spiritual marrows alone, he had gained billions of them.
Thanks to that, his originally deflated coin pouch had gained quite some weight.
Soon after, he arrived at a secret room.
It was guarded by many seals, restrictions, and formations — all of which was not a problem to him, who proceeded to break through them with ease.
Upon entering that secret room, Chu Kuangren saw several jade scrolls hung on the wall, each with a different name written on it.
Each of them represented a target for a.s.sa.s.sination.
It did not take long before Chu Kuangren found his name among them.
“Oh, it looks like they were really going to attack me.”
Chu Kuangren grabbed that jade scroll with his name on it and then mobilized his Emperor Thoughts. Soon, large amounts of information flooded his mind.
It included information about his age, cultivation level, cultivation techniques, place of birth, and many more. All of them were recorded in great detail.
Two frightening words were written in red at the end… Extremely dangerous!
“Hmph. You guys still had the guts to attack me despite knowing that I’m a dangerous person, huh? It looks like you folks from the Black Blood Tower have been bored of living.”
Chu Kuangren closed his fist, turning that jade scroll into ashes right away.
A cold gleam shot out from his eyes.
After that, he looked at the remaining jade scrolls hung on the wall and noticed a few familiar names among them.
“Yang Xiao, G.o.dly Moon Daoist Celestial, An Tian, Daoist Celestial s.h.i.+ Ling…”
Chu Kuangren’s gaze grew colder.
Although he was not well acquainted with those people, all of them had something in common. They were the ones who came to protect him during the battle at the Ancient G.o.dly Moon Kingdom.
That meant the Black Blood Tower was going to attack the people who once protected him?
‘Who’s the one instructing them behind the scenes?’
After some digging, he eventually discovered who it was.
“As I suspected… Planet Zi!”
Chu Kuangren sneered. Planet Zi not only wanted to kill him, but they also would not spare the cultivators who protected him that one time.
“If that’s the case, this Black Blood Tower can no longer exist any longer.” Chu Kuangren immediately transmitted the information he found to the G.o.dly Moon Daoist Celestial.
He asked him to warn the others about it.
Besides that, he also told them to leave the Black Blood Tower to him.
Moments later, the elite cultivators from all corners of the galaxy soon received his message. They were incredibly enraged about Planet Zi’s actions, to say the least.
“F*ck. I was only there to return a favor, and now Planet Zi is coming after my life? Should I even be surprised? It’s Planet Zi, after all. Truly tyrants, they are.”
“The Black Blood Tower… B*stards. No wonder I feel like someone has been watching me recently. It turns out it’s them all this time, huh?”
“I thought I could stay away from this mess after returning the favor, but I didn’t think Planet Zi would be so unrelenting. What a shame… Very well, then! Since you guys want to play, I shall gladly accompany you until the end!!”
“Phew. Good thing Brother Chu’s message arrived in time…”
The elite cultivators from all corners of the galaxy were fuming with anger. At the same time, a fuse was also planted deep within them, a fuse that would lead them to rise up against Planet Zi.
When the perfect opportunity comes, that fuse would be ignited.
Many people knew it.
They knew that this opportunity would come from Chu Kuangren in the future.
…
Inside the Black Blood Tower’s Branch.
Chu Kuangren was almost done looting the whole place.
Meanwhile, Duan Muhong had rescued Jian Sanjue from the dungeon too.
The Immortal Progeny, who was once bursting with life, was now covered in wounds. His aura was extremely weak — a sign that he had gone through much torture.
Fortunately, due to Duan Muhong and the others’ escape, the Black Blood Tower would not kill Jian Sanjue before killing the rest of them.
In the future, if the Heavenly Sword Sect were to attack them, the Black Blood Tower could use Jian Sanjue as a bargaining chip against them. That was why Jian Sanjue had managed to keep his life.
“I owe you my thanks, Brother Chu.”
Jian Sanjue looked at Chu Kuangren with mixed feelings.
Previously at the Violet Blood Planet, he once said to Chu Kuangren that he would challenge him again.
However, by the looks of it, he was not even qualified to be Chu Kuangren’s opponent now.
“You’re welcome.”
Chu Kuangren lifted his hand to channel his Emperor qi and heal Jian Sanjue’s injuries with the Spring Breeze Healing Technique.
Support-based cultivation techniques like that have been incredibly useful to Chu Kuangren so far. However, because it was only an Emperor Technique, it was not that effective in healing a Daoist Celestial’s injuries.
Even so, Chu Kuangren was a top-notch physician, and he eventually managed to treat most of Jian Sanjue’s injuries after administering some treatments.
“Alright. Now that he’s been saved, I shall take this Immortal Tendon and leave. Until we meet again,” Chu Kuangren said before he turned around and left.
Jian Sanjue and Duan Muhong had no objections to that. If it were not for Chu Kuangren, they would have lost their lives long ago, let alone a mere Immortal Tendon.
…
In the vastness of s.p.a.ce.
Inside a sailing wars.h.i.+p.
Chu Kuangren was fiddling with the Immortal Tendon when he noticed there was no scent of blood on it at all. Instead, there was a certain fragrance to it.
The Immortal Sparks swirling around it were extremely mysterious.
The Black Blood Tower’s Young Master only managed to refine it partially. Hence, he could not fully exert the maximum power of that Immortal Tendon.
Otherwise, his combat strength would increase to a whole new level.
At that strength, he could even compete against the First Seats.
“Immortal-related things are truly extraordinary.”
Chu Kuangren exclaimed.
Although the Immortal Tendon possessed many fascinating uses, Chu Kuangren did not plan to refine it and integrate it with his body.
His meridians were perfect and intact. Besides, with his Stellar Undying Body, his physical strength was now abnormally strong, so there was no need for him to forcefully integrate an Immortal Tendon that did not belong to him.
When he reached his goal to become an Immortal in the future, he could have as many Immortal Tendons as he wished. That was not a joke. With his Immortal Body, it could truly be done. By then, all he had to do was rip out one of his tendons, and a new one would grow back in its place.
Did that not mean he would have infinite amounts of Immortal Tendons?
“Although it’s not compatible with my body, this Immortal Tendon is still a valuable treasure no matter what. I can’t simply let it go to waste.”
“What should I use it for then?”
Chu Kuangren pondered.
After some thought, he placed that thought on hold as he still could not think of anything for the time being. His main goal now was to wipe out the whole Black Blood Tower!
He already knew the location of the Black Blood Tower’s headquarters as he had looted through this branch of theirs.
Next, his destination was the planet where the Black Blood Tower’s headquarters was located… Planet Sirius!
“Are you ready to face my wrath, Black Blood Tower?” said Chu Kuangren as he looked into the stars with a chilling gaze in his eyes..
