Ethan withdrew his gaze from overlooking the bottomless abyss below the ninety-nine thousandth step of the Ladder to the Sky. Peering down, there was nothing but vast emptiness with no sign of anything.
Swish!
Ethan strode alone into the mountain path beside the ninety-nine thousandth step of the Ladder to the Sky.
This scene was witnessed by no one other than the red-robed old man and the three young men behind him. From the towering sacrificial altar, the purple sun seemed unchanged and gave no sign of anything unusual. Strangely enough, at noon, the surface temperature in the Beyond Heaven space should have exceeded 50 degrees Celsius. However, the green vine piercing the purple sun showed no abnormality, as if it were a blood vessel connecting the purple sun and the sacrificial altar.
In an instant, Ethan felt his soul return and regain control of his body. At the same time, he heard the summons of the red-robed elder. What does this mean? What should I do? Why did this red-robed elder suddenly call me?Thousands of thoughts flashed through Ethan's mind in an instant.
Upon entering the second floor of the Azure Brick Tower, there were obviously many fewer people. Although Ethan's eyes remained empty and he seemed dull, he keenly noticed that every young man and woman on this floor had a heavy and oppressive aura. In the hundreds of new faces he saw on the way, not one could he see through. Ethan also discovered that the young men and women hurrying about with indifferent expressions in this Azure Brick Tower could be roughly divided into four categories: gray-clothed, black-clothed, blue-clothed, and purple-clothed. <
According to the Black Ledger, Beyond Heaven is the most covert assassin organization in the world. It has branches throughout the continent. Each domain, state, and even some of the larger counties have branch contact points.How large is a domain? A cultivator at the Strong Blood Realm level would probably spend his whole life without being able to get through just one. A normal domain has at least ten or so states, and a single st
The Yan State was located in the northwestern part of the Western Realms. Among the dozens of states in the vast Western Realms, Yan State was medium in population and territory. Hampshire County was a large county in Yan State. Compared with Mistwood County in Xia State, Hampshire County was at least ten times larger in area. This county was vast in area, populous in population, and had a strong martial spirit. In the year 1011 of the Chaos Calendar, early spring. The midday sun was not too intense yet, the sunlight was warm and there was a slight breeze. The main street of Hampshire County was bustling with people coming and going, lively and lively. Occasionally, teams of young men riding black-horned horses could be seen galloping neatly through the long streets. The young men on the backs of the black-horned horses were full of spirits, casting cold glances at the crowds and galloping away in a hurry. These were the garrisons stationed in Hampshire County, responsible for
A month later, the Inn of Homecoming on South Street in Hampshire County.At noon, the air was somewhat sultry. The lobby of the inn was evidently very busy, with an occupancy rate of over 70%. The innkeeper had a smile on his face as he greeted customers incessantly. The waiters were rushing around the lobby, sweating profusely.The lobby was bustling with noise as people were eating, drinking and chatting enthusiastically. There was a steady stream of people coming and going from the inn's lobby.At this moment, a slender figure strode into the lobby. Judging from his build, he was a young man. He wore a gray robe and held a pitch-black long knife in his right hand. Although it was broad daylight, he wore a conical rain hat on his head. The black gauze on the edge of the rain hat hung down to his jaw, and his head was slightly lowered so his full appearance could not be seen clearly.The innkeeper had sharp eyes and hurriedly came forward with a smile, saying, "Sir, are you staying
The slender man's palm struck Ethan's chest, but Ethan's fierce attack towards the slender man's throat was dodged at the last moment with a tilt of the head. "Hmph!" The slender man only felt a chill on his scalp, and a few strands of hair on the side of his head were cut off. Ethan's avatar was hit in the chest by a palm, and retreated seven or eight feet in a row. His figure began to
At dawn three days later.Ethan hurried to the Inn of No Worries as the tavern opened early as always.Compared to three days ago, the atmosphere in Hampshire County seemed strangely tense. Occasionally on the main street, Ethan saw garrison troops marching by, and even saw many young men wielding large sabers or green blades wandering the streets with cold and severe expressions, glancing around from time to time, as if looking for something.Ethan casually threw the Daniel Martin's head wrapped in white cloth. The one-armed man in blue silently accepted it and threw Ethan a bag containing the Spiritual Stone in exchange, without any communication. In fact, for more than two months, Ethan did not even know the name of this one-armed man in blue."Strange." Ethan was slightly startled when he suddenly found that the young waiter behind the one-armed man kept peering at him with a peculiar expression. "Accept the task." Ethan said to the one-armed man in blue who had taken the he
