Chapter 1398: Chapter 1396 Entering the Hidden Sect (Seventh Update)

Towering trees, dense forests, and scattered reefs were everywhere on this island; at first glance, not a single human figure was visible. But with a sweep of his X-ray vision, Xiao Yifeng sensed hidden formations here, obscuring the true situation from outsiders, while the headquarters of the Hidden Sect was concealed within.

”This Hidden Sect is quite advanced; the Sect even has formations for protection. No wonder it seems so mysterious to outsiders, impossible to locate their headquarters!”

Brilliance flickered in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes.

Subsequently, this guy at the second level of the Ningxuan Realm activated the formation, then led Xiao Yifeng inside.

Upon entering this formation, the scene changed dramatically. A series of black-themed buildings appeared in front of them, along with a large number of Hidden Sect members dressed in black.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura, most were at the Celestial Being Realm and Void-breaking Realm level, with not a few masters even in the Body Refinement Realm, and a considerable number of Ningxuan Realm experts.

”Why did you bring an outsider in here? Who is he?”

At this moment, a group of Hidden Sect members approached Xiao Yifeng, among them, a melee expert in the Ningxuan Realm cast a glance at Xiao Yifeng and shouted at the Ningxuan Realm second-level Hidden Sect expert who had brought him in.

”Take me to see your Sect Leader. I have important business with your Sect Leader!”

Xiao Yifeng spoke directly, facing this group of people.

”Kid, who do you think you are? To imagine seeing our Sect Leader, you’re really dreaming. Men, seize him!”

This Ningxuan Realm three-level Hidden Sect expert coldly shouted, and immediately, the other Hidden Sect members rushed towards Xiao Yifeng.

”Ah, can’t you understand the words!”

Xiao Yifeng shook his head, waved the stele, and knocked them all away.

”Hidden Sect Leader, come out!”

Xiao Yifeng emitted a thunderous shout, his voice loudly reverberating throughout the Hidden Sect.

The entire Hidden Sect was thrown into a state of shock, with numerous Hidden Sect experts rushing over, surrounding Xiao Yifeng, including more than a dozen Ningxuan Realm experts, even with six or seven-level Ningxuan Realm experts appearing.

”Damn, so many experts! If this Hidden Sect isn’t part of the Shadow Assassination Organization, it’s over!”

Xiao Yifeng thought pessimistically to himself.

”Vice Sect Leader!”

At this moment, the crowd of Hidden Sect experts parted to form a path, then respectfully called out.

A man dressed in a black cloak, with a lean body, a cold face, and eyes emitting hawk-like cold gleams, came over, his body exuding a very powerful aura.

This aura was terrifyingly intense, at least reaching the seventh or eighth level of the Ningxuan Realm, according to Xiao Yifeng’s assessment.

”Who are you? You have enough guts to intrude into my Hidden Sect and call directly for my Sect Leader. It seems you think you’ve lived too long already!”

This man coldly uttered to Xiao Yifeng, his eyes flashing with icy glints, casting an oppressive aura over Xiao Yifeng.

”Are you the Hidden Sect Vice Sect Leader?”

Xiao Yifeng asked while looking at this man.

”That’s correct!”

The man replied, and he was indeed the Hidden Sect Vice Sect Leader, Xu Huai.

”Then you should recognize this, shouldn’t you?”

Xiao Yifeng took out the Hidden Assassination Order.

”What is this? Who exactly are you?”

Xu Huai looked at the Hidden Assassination Order in Xiao Yifeng’s hand, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

”Damn it, even the Vice Sect Leader doesn’t recognize the Hidden Assassination Order! Could it be that this Hidden Sect isn’t the additional Shadow Assassination power the old man stationed on Heavenly Island, or is the old man tricking me!”

Xiao Yifeng thought sadly to himself.

”I want to see the Hidden Sect Leader!”

Xiao Yifeng did not give up and reiterated. Now only by meeting the Hidden Sect Leader could he confirm whether there was a relation between the Hidden Sect and the Shadow Assassination.

”Hmph, do you think you can see the Sect Leader just because you want to? I see you’re definitely harboring some plot. Men, seize him, interrogate him harshly!”

Xu Huai addressed Xiao Yifeng with a cold growl.

”Hidden Sect Leader, the Hidden Assassination Order is here. Are you still not coming out to meet?”

Xiao Yifeng’s expression darkened as he shouted again.

”Courting death!”

Seeing Xiao Yifeng shout again, Xu Huai suddenly attacked with his palm towards Xiao Yifeng.

”Stop!”

Just then, a low voice sounded, and then a figure appeared here.

”Sect Leader!”

Seeing this figure, Xu Huai abruptly halted his hand, bowed, and called out, and the rest of the Hidden Sect members also half-kneeled respectfully and called out to the Sect Leader.

Clearly, this man was the Hidden Sect Leader.

”What did you just say? The Hidden Assassination Order is here?”

The Hidden Sect Leader’s eyes moved to Xiao Yifeng, with an excited expression in his gaze.

”Recognize it?”

Xiao Yifeng raised the Hidden Assassination Order to the other.

Seeing this Hidden Assassination Order, the Hidden Sect Leader’s pupils contracted, and his gaze instantly focused.

”Come with me, the rest of you disperse!”

The Hidden Sect Leader said, leading Xiao Yifeng away from there.

Watching the Hidden Sect Leader take Xiao Yifeng away, Xu Huai’s eyes flickered with an unusual glint, pondering something unknown.

Within a building of the Hidden Sect, the Hidden Sect Leader took Xiao Yifeng there and then knelt respectfully, saying, ”Hidden Sect Leader Lu Chao greets the Young Master!”

Hearing these words from Lu Chao, finally, a heavy weight lifted off Xiao Yifeng’s heart. Apparently, this Hidden Sect was indeed a part of the Shadow Assassination Organization.

”Looks like you were also trained by my master as part of the Shadow Assassination, right?”

Xiao Yifeng said.

”Yes, over a dozen years ago, I was chosen with nine others by the Master for training, then sent to the Heavenly Island to form the Shadow Assassination’s power there, called the Hidden Sect. I became the Sect Leader. Back then, the Master said that if anyone came wielding the Hidden Assassination Order in the future, they would be the Young Master, and we must obey all their commands!”

Lu Chao spoke solemnly.

”Then why doesn’t that Vice Sect Leader know about the Hidden Assassination Order?”

Xiao Yifeng asked.

”Because only the ten of us initially chosen by the Master knew about the Hidden Assassination Order, and Xu Huai joined the Hidden Sect afterward as it developed. He was made Vice Sect Leader because his strength was formidable and his abilities outstanding, so he wasn’t aware of the Master and the Hidden Assassination Order’s existence.”

Lu Chao explained.

Xiao Yifeng nodded and asked, ”Apart from you, how many in this Hidden Sect know about the Hidden Assassination Order?”

”Back when the Master brought ten of us to the Heavenly Island, three have since died, leaving seven of us, including me. Among them, five are now strong ones at the Gathering Elixir Realm!”

Lu Chao replied.

”Gathering Elixir Realm, so strong. What’s your strength?”

An unusual glint passed through Xiao Yifeng’s eyes.

”Lu Chao’s talent is lacking, only reaching the Ninth Level of Ningxuan Realm today, unable to breakthrough to the Gathering Elixir Realm, disappointing the Master’s past nurturing!”

Lu Chao said with his head lowered.

”Ninth Level Ningxuan Realm, and that’s considered poor talent? The old man is truly awesome, casually cultivating so many experts.”
