How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

The Heavenly Fiend Hall... inside its branch hall.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the mottled bloodstains on the four walls. Mo Bo's withered fingers lightly tapped the wooden table, and the scattered talismans on the table vaguely revealed the four characters "Master of All Laws".

"I wonder what the cultivation level of the Master of the Myriad Laws Sect that you mentioned is?"

"His strength is unknown... but there is a Great Sage within the Myriad Laws Sect," Mo Bo replied.

A withered hand emerged from behind the curtain, and a hoarse voice replied, "Ordinary assassins never return."

Mober pushed a storage ring over: "What I need is absolute certainty."

The masked man's withered fingers traced the surface of the ring, making a rustling sound: "Not enough. We need to use the offerings of three Great Saints from the 'Shadow Assassination Division' of the Heavenly Fiend Palace. In addition to this ring, there are three thousand-year-old blood ginsengs and a Soul-Condensing Jade Marrow."

"Sure, but the rest will be paid in cash after the job is done," Mober said.

"Okay~"

The masked man took the ring and put it on his hand: "Come back in three days with the remaining resources to collect the heads." After saying that, he disappeared into the shadows, leaving only a faint trace of blood.

On the solitary peak, the headquarters of the Heavenly Fiend Palace, forged from black stone, resembles a lurking behemoth.

The palace gates are two massive wooden doors made of ghost wood, with lifelike nine-headed serpent patterns coiled on the copper rings. Above the gate hangs the three ancient red seal characters "Tian Sha Palace," which are as if carved in blood and exude a chilling aura.

Inside the hall...

The masked man knelt on one knee and whispered into the darkness, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness."

"Palace Master, we just received a mission from the Xiao family. They want to assassinate the Sect Master of the Myriad Laws Sect in the Eastern Region. Their strength is unknown, but they know of one Great Saint within the sect. The Xiao family requires the mission to be completed within three days."

"My subordinate is asking for 50 million spirit crystals, plus three thousand-year-old blood ginsengs and a Soul Condensation Jade Marrow upon completion of the mission."

A cold voice echoed from inside the hall: "Very well."

"Where is Shadow Assassin...?"

The three Great Saint Realm elders appeared in the hall as three black shadows, and immediately knelt on one knee towards the shadows: "Your subordinate greets the Hall Master."

"Did all three of you hear that? Bring the head back in three days," said the Lord of the Heavenly Fiend Palace.

"Your subordinates obey..." After receiving the order, the three Great Saint Realm elders quickly stood up and disappeared into the hall like ghosts.

The masked man also quietly retreated.

The land of Middle-earth.

Jianzhou City is named after swords.

In the center of the city, a dark blue-black stone sword stele rises from the ground, more than three zhang high. The stele is blank, yet it seems to exude endless sword intent. Every day at the first light of dawn, countless sword cultivators gather here, some sitting, some standing, their fingertips gathering qi to draw sword marks and afterimages, trying to comprehend the true essence of the sword path from this blank stele.

Outside the city, a giant sword pierces the sky. It is the highest peak in Jianzhou, and the eaves and brackets of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion are faintly visible amidst the swirling clouds and mist at its summit.

It is said that the Sword Pavilion contains ancient sword manuals, and only true sword prodigies can ascend to the summit of this sword peak and glimpse the true face of the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Stele and Sword Peak stand facing each other across the distance. One is in the city, inspiring countless people to comprehend its secrets, while the other hides unparalleled martial arts manuals in the clouds. Together, they have forged the renowned reputation of Sword State as "the heart of swordsmanship under heaven."

Guiyuan Sword Pavilion is hidden in the clouds, with various pavilions carved into the towering stone cliffs. Above the main hall, the four ancient seal characters "Guiyuan Sword Pavilion" are inscribed on the lintel, with vigorous strokes that faintly convey the feeling of sword energy running rampant.

"Sword fanatic, did you gain anything from your trip to the Eastern Region?" Guiyuan Sword Master asked with a smile.

"Senior brother, you have indeed gained some insights..."

So the Sword Maniac told the Sword Master of Guiyuan everything he had seen and heard, and also told him what Liu Yiyi had told him.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Master of Guiyuan spoke softly, "I didn't expect Tianbao Pavilion to be so powerful, having already established a good relationship with Wanfa Sect so early. What does Sword Maniac think of Wanfa Sect?"

"Senior brother, the only word to describe my impression of the Myriad Laws Sect is mystery."

"We don't know what the Myriad Laws Sect is planning now. They wiped out several forces as soon as they appeared. Moreover, on the day I was in Myriad Laws City, I sensed an aura stronger than mine within the city. It must have been sent by the Myriad Laws Sect to guard the city," Sword Maniac replied.

"Oh? Even stronger than you, then you must be at least a late-stage Great Sage, right?" Guiyuan Sword Master asked.

"Senior brother, I think what Liu girl said is right. The Xiao family will definitely not let this go. We can wait and see, or we can ask the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets to do a divination," said the Sword Maniac.

"Let's not rush, let's wait and see! I think this Wanfo Temple is more interesting. Ten thousand years ago, it became the overlord of the Western Regions. After digesting the Western Regions, they have been laying out their plans for the Eastern Regions for the past one or two thousand years. I think they and the Wanfa Sect will have conflicts sooner or later," said the Guiyuan Sword Master.

Central Continent.

The other factions also waited to see what would happen after receiving the news, especially Tianji Tower, which immediately withdrew all its personnel from the Eastern Region back to the Central Continent.

Midnight three days later.

Three dark figures appeared like ghosts on the outskirts of the Shengtian Mountains. The white bone bats embroidered on their black robes were faintly visible under the moonlight. The three were the three Great Saint assassins sent by the Tian Sha Palace.

Lu Chen watched all this quietly, then transmitted his voice, "Chu Feng, catch those three rats outside and interrogate them."

The leader of the Black Fiends had just unleashed his array-breaking cone, but his fingertips had not yet touched the array's light barrier.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Three little mice dare to run wild in my sect?"

"Who?"

The three were startled and turned around to see a person smiling at them. The other person had appeared behind them silently. Only one thought crossed their minds: escape.

"Trying to escape? It's too late!"

Chu Feng's Xuan Tie Battle Ruler crashed to the ground, causing the three assassins' blood and qi to surge, and their Great Sage essence to almost dissipate.

"How dare a few little rats trespass into my Myriad Laws Sect?" Chu Feng unleashed his Bone Lock, directly binding the collarbones of the three.

Black Fiend roared, trying to unleash his natal magic weapon, but Chu Feng smashed it to pieces with a single blow from his ruler.

A moment later, the three Great Saint assassins had their cultivation crippled and were thrown in front of the sect leader's hall like dead dogs.

"Speak, who sent you to the Myriad Laws Sect?" Lu Chen's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

Black Fiend gritted his teeth: "Kill us."

"Oh? So much backbone? Elder Chu Feng, search their souls and see who they are, daring to cause trouble in my Myriad Laws Sect."

"Stop searching our souls, just give us a quick death!" Black Fiend said through gritted teeth.

"Too late." Chu Feng closed his eyes and placed his hands directly on the tops of the two people's heads. A moment later, the two collapsed to the ground, unconscious. He then performed a soul search on the other person.

"Sect Master, the souls of the three have been sealed, so we can't get many useful clues. But from their scattered memories, we know that they come from a force called the Heavenly Fiend Palace."

"Interesting," Lu Chen said.

In fact, Lu Chen had already checked the information of the three people through the system and knew that they were assassins from the Heavenly Fiend Hall. The purpose of the soul search was to find out who the mastermind was.

"Ding, the system has issued a task."

"The Heavenly Fiend Palace dared to assassinate the host. The host is hereby ordered to annihilate the entire Heavenly Fiend Palace. A grand reward will be given upon completion of the mission."
