Deathseeker traversed the many floating inds of the Aurora Cloud Gate. He simply didn''t step into any ind as he saw that they wouldn''t have the information he required. He first stopped at a convening ind like the Proving Grounds.


    Here, the disciples gathered were constantly practicing their moves and getting pointers from fellow disciples and even instructors.


    He merely walked past them without invoking a single bit of suspicion and heard the whispers and conversations going on around. It wasn''t long before he heard the names Feng Chu and Davis Alstreim being thrown around a lot.


    He had heard about the feud between Davis Alstreim and the Earth Dragon n and Fire Phoenix n. However, it is his first time hearing about Feng Chu being rted to Davis Alstreim and probably how they were both the same person even though there was not enough proof. Beginning to form a slight suspicion over Dead End''s true identity, he started investigating Feng Chu''s whereabouts and learned that it wasn''t public yet.


    His stoic expression started to invite some suspicion, so he left the Training Grounds and sought to look for Feng Chu''s residence.


    However, halfway through, a brown-robed middle-aged man suddenly blocked his path.


    Deathseeker''s ck eyes narrowed as he saw this person appear out of nowhere. Even with some guesses, he literally couldn''t tell where he had appeared from, causing him to instantly be cautious.


    "For what reason had an outsider infiltrated my Aurora Cloud Gate?"


    "Who are you?" Deathseeker responded in an indifferent voice.


    "That''s my line." The brown-robed man shook his head. Although his facial features appeared quite suave and appearedzy, there was a sliver of fearlessness in his eyes.


    "If you can''t answer, I''ll be forced to destroy you rather than arrest you for trespassing our grounds."


    Deathseeker couldn''t help but raised his head and chuckle a bit, albeit silently.


    "I''m Deathseeker, and I believe I have something to discuss with one of your disciples."


    "Deathseeker? Forgive my ignorance, but it doesn''t ring a bell." The brown-robed man shook his head.


    "Aye, I had no interaction with you secluded people before, so it is not surprising that you people don''t know me. If you act like you didn''t see me, then we both can stay clear of each other. It''s not like I''m here to assassinate someone, so rx."


    "I really don''t know who you are, but if you want to discuss something with one of our disciples, you can merely approach us from the proper channel. There''s no need to sneak in."


    "Unfortunately, I''m an assassin, and I''m looking out for my to-be-disciple''s anonymity. I can''t just walk in and request that disciple''s name, can I?"


    Deathseeker chuckled and gestured freely as though he didn''t have a care in the world, causing the brown-robed man to sigh.


    "Ai, the number of assassins and undevoted disciples in my Aurora Cloud Gate has recently grown. Well, as long as they follow the rules, I don''t think I can say anything about them as an Elder. But for you, you''re an outsider. Since you have infiltrated, you will have to pay the necessary price. You will be arrested and given an appropriate response, a public flogging. Do you want to struggle or surrender?"


    Deathseeker disyed his teeth to the brown-robed man''s words, "Well then, nameless Elder of the Aurora Cloud Gate, it seems like I can only die graciously."


    As he spoke, he drew an ordinary sword from his spatial ring and abruptly rushed forward, using his momentum to slice off the Elder''s head. A spiral of death energy surged from his palm and encased the ordinary sword, quickly turning into a deadly weapon that shook the other party''s heart.


    "What!? A Fiend!"


    The brown-robed elder let out a surprised shout and immediately sidestepped away from Deathseeker, managing to evade the fatal blow by a hair''s breadth.


    However, Deathseeker didn''t stop at that. He used his momentum tounch himself forward once more and sliced down the Elder''s torso. Deathseeker''s undtions didn''t even spread past a hundred-meter radius. His death energy was difficult to detect, causing the brown-robed elder to be disadvantaged.


    But at this moment, thetter suddenly took out a saber andshed out with iparable calmness. Before the ordinary sword covered in death energy could strike out with a life-ending intensity, the saber moved in a vertical arc in one singr motion and sliced through Deathseeker''s body that was locked in ce.


    Deathseeker''s eyes went wide in shock over the overwhelming Immortal Emperor undtions that trapped him, but his lips couldn''t help but curl.


    "Old fart, you really know how to act... Hehehe..."


    Hisugh resounded out before his figure split into two and burst into ck-grayish death energy, leaving behind a ring that shine before the brown-robed elder. Thetter retreated as he reached out his hand and grabbed what seemed to be a life ring, and in that were some people who seemed to have been taken captive by him.


    Clearly, the other party didn''t want to offend thempletely, so he didn''t kill the inner disciple and the workers.


    However, he didn''t dare go near the remnant death energy left by Deathseeker. It was like poison. Even though it was an Immortal King''s deadly attack that wouldn''t hurt an Immortal Emperor like him, it was still a powerful poison. Once hit, he knew that his vitality would be spent more, and he would be closer to death than ever.


    "Only a soul body...?"


    At this moment, a white-robed elder appeared near the vicinity, his voice sounding disappointed.


    "Our sect''s reputation has been spread throughout history in the ancient powers, and anyone who''s here has at least heard of our hidden might before, so who dares to really enter the Aurora Cloud Gate with their true body when infiltrating?"


    A third elder appeared. He wore a blue robe and appeared dashing.


    They all wore different robes, but their affiliation seemed to be the same as their emblems matched, having a sword slicing through the azure clouds.


    They were Law Enforcement Elders simr to Elder Aradiel Furiose!


    "Still, to be capable of using death energy, he must be someone from the Ghost Tear Hall."


    The brown-robed elder shook his head, causing the white-robed elder to scoff.


    "Those little ghosts are still looking for disciples with the aptitude to learn death energy to pass down their legacy? Sigh, even if they want to pursue assassination arts, can''t they discipline their children? Look at this Deathseeker. So crass and feisty like a youth..."


    "So he''s also looking for that fellow." The blue-robed elder sighed, "Sigh, how many characters did we arrest or kill in the past twelve hours?"


    "I don''t know. Thirteen...? Fourteen...? It seems all want a piece of him and his treasures."


    Hearing the number, the three of their lips couldn''t help but curl. Even in a year, it would be rare for them to even have a single infiltrator, but just in one day, there were so many.


    "Everyone should know what to do. Don''t forget the Grand Elder''s words."


    "Alright."


    "That''s already understood."


    The three of them waved their arms, and together, they reached out their hands and tried to purge the remnant death energy. It wasn''t long before they practically removed the stain from the space and disappeared like the wind.


    In some other location of the Aurora Cloud Gate''s Domain, two eyes shot wide open as a ck-robed young man with pale skin opened his eyes. His sockets were empty without eyeballs and, instead, possessed a deathly vortex that revolved in it.


    "Ah, so hateful! I lost a powerful soul body and couldn''t find my disciple. This is infuriating!"


    He clenched his teeth and roared with some anger in his expression.


    In front of them, there were a dozen ck-robed characters on their knees, seemingly shuddering from his outburst.


    "Who would''ve expected the Aurora Cloud Gate still holds such tremendous might? Do those old fellows never ascend? Our sect''s old foggies weren''t kidding when they repeatedly told me not to offend the Aurora Cloud Gate."


    Deathseeker shook his head before he smiled, "However, I did get a clue to my disciple''s whereabouts."


    "ve Four, get up." The vortex in his eyes spun as his gazended on a ck-robed person, "I have a special mission for you. Once youplete it, return to me at once and report the findings. I will erase your memories, but if you mess up, you will fade away to death."


    "Yes~"


    ve Four obediently replied as he kept his head lowered.


    "Take this spatial ring and deliver it to a true disciple of the Aurora Cloud Gate named Feng Chu. Don''t enter the Aurora Cloud Gate. Instead, try to wait for him outside."


    "I understand, master."


    After ve Four took the spatial ring, he bowed and turned around, disappearing into the darkness like a specter. The strange thing was that his aura was radiating death energy as well.


    "Now then, those old foggies are getting restless over my slow progress. It''s time to enter the Immortal Emperor Stage."


    With a step into the air, Deathseeker left with his entourage. Their figures disappeared together in the wake of dawn, leaving behind a mine that had lost its luster and a lot of unconscious disciples.


    A few minutester, an Immortal King of the Aurora Cloud Gate appeared in the air and saw that a Mid-Level Immortal Crystal Mine was ransacked for what it''s worth, his expression turning unsightly over the tant provocation of some powerful bandit.


    Although it was a mine that was going to be depleted soon, he couldn''t believe someone really dared to offend their Aurora Cloud Gate.


    Butter on, that Immortal King got the news to not pursue this matter, dumbfounding him.
