In the middle of the mountains, there was a secret base of phantom assassins.
Right now, a few silver masks assassins were holding a meeting.
"It has been tens of years when our organization lost so much of our members." A silver masked assassin said.
"Is it because they have underestimated our target?" The second silver masked assassin said.
"You can't blame them either, who would have thought a young boy of early earth profound realm cultivation could defend against the combined attack of tens of earth profound realm assassins." The third silver masked assassin spoke.
"What is the big deal about it? Haven't we seen many other superb genius in the past and assassinate them, it will be also the same this time."
"Update mission information, make sure it will not miss this time."
...
Feng Yun and others returned to the Mystic Heaven Peak safely. Just as Feng Yun arrived at the sect, he was called by the sect master. Sect Master inquired about the assassins as well the enemies that Feng Yun has offended.
On the other hand, a new legend of Feng Yun spread in the Mystic Heaven Peak, he defeated all the genius refiners of True Fire Palace, furthermore, Feng Yun even knew the ancient refining technique that could create weapon with special effects.
Many people were eagerly waiting for Feng Yun to refine the weapon again, they might have chance to buy the weapon with special effect.
"Feng Yun, do you really have no idea who placed the bounty on your head in the phantom assassin organization? If you want to get rid of the pursuit of phantom assassin, we have to find the person who hired them to kill you." Sect Master have a serious face as he spoke.
Feng Yun was already thinking over this for days, he couldn't think of any other person who hates him enough to hire the phantom assassins other than Yang clan from the Blazing Sun Dynasty.
Feng Yun remembered the people of Yang Clan who come to the Profound Blossom Sect for revenge, but instead they were killed by Feng Yun and Long Shu, although his mother helped him to held back the Heaven Profound Realm Experts of Yang Clan, it doesn't mean they would forget of their revenge.
They couldn't Feng Yun into the daylight, but they could use under hand attacks to kill him. What is the best way to kill someone secretly other than borrowing someone to do it.
But there is something that bothering him, according to the Mu Xiurong, the Yang Clan was not top power in the Blazing Sun Dynasty, Feng Yun wasn't sure that Yang Clan have guts to kill Feng Yun whom the Mu Clan wanted to protect.
If his mother found out that Feng Yun was hunting by Phantom assassins because of Yang Clan, then the Yang clan would cease to exist in the Blazing Sun Dynasty.
There is another possibility that enemy of Mu Clan has noticed the presence of Feng Yun, and somehow they found out the relationship between him and Mu Clan, so they wanted to kill him.
Suddenly he remembered another possible candidate, when he visited the city with Long Shu and Su Rou, he beat down a son of ancient hidden family.
After explaining everything just as Feng Yun was planing to leave.
"Oh! Feng Yun, I have another important news for you. A big event going to happen soon, it will affect power system of the entire region of Long Imperial Dynasty." Sect Master Shen Jiahao said.�
"Hmm! What is it?" Feng Yun asked curiously.
"The Long Imperial Dynasty is going to host a grand martial art competition for young martial geniuses, anyone under the age of thirty could participate in this competition." Shen Jiahao said.
"Huh! Grand Competition!" Feng Yun heard about this competition from Liu Mingxia before joining the Mystic Heaven Peak, Liu Mingxia told him that this competition could bring great opportunity to the participants because of its generous rewards.�
But Feng Yun was perplexed by the words of Sect Master, is this competition really so great?
"Sect Master, isn't it just a big competition for young peoples? How can it affect the power system of Long Imperial Dynasty." Feng Yun asked with puzzled look.
"Feng Yun, this competition is not simple, you will understand later. It not just Long Imperial Dynasty, even other imperial dynasty also hosting a grand competition. The top rankers of these competitions will get the chance to go to Black Dragon Empire to study martial arts there." Shen Jiohao spoke in serious tone.
"The Black Dragon Empire is hegemony in this region, there are experts everywhere, our mystic heaven peak could be considered as an average ranked sect there. Countless people dreamed to go there to practice." Shen Jiahao said with some admiration in his eyes.
In the Long Imperial Dynasty, the highest cultivation base was sovereign profound realm, but only a handful of experts was able to break through the sovereign profound realm and every one of them were thousands of years old monster.
Because of lack of spiritual energy, it was very difficult to break through sovereign profound realm in the Long Imperial Dynasty, that's why many experts of heaven profound realm would go to the Dragon Black Empire in search of opportunity.
Shen Jiahao also desire to go to the outside world, but he was the leader of a sect, he couldn't leave the Mystic Heaven Peak behind.
'Empire!' As soon as Feng Yun heard the name of Black Dragon Empire, his mind lost for a moment. He remembered that Zi Ling was taken by an expert from Heavenly Phoenix Empire because that expert fancied Zi Ling's talent. After that day, Feng Yun heard any news from Zi Ling, he was also worried about her, but he couldn't do anything about it. He was not powerful enough to go out and search for her.�
Heavenly Phoenix Empire was millions miles away from here, even if he wanted to go to the Heavenly Phoenix Empire with his cultivation, it would take a very long time, years maybe. Furthermore, the road was very dangerous, even if he ready to go, it very likely that he killed in the middle journey.
He could wait to became stronger and go to the Heavenly Phoenix Empire. Now that a great opportunity appeared in front of him, he would try his best to grab it. At least, he has a path to walk now, as long as he performed well in the competition, he would get his chance to became strong faster.
"Sect Master, when will this competition start?" Feng Yun asked.
"Because of some unexpected circumstances, the Long Imperial Dynasty has changed the date of the competition. This competition will start after six months." Shen Jiahao said.
"Okay, I will work hard for this competition." Feng Yun said firmly.
"Hmm! Good! Okay, you can go now. And try not to venture out alone for a time until we find the solution for phantom assassins." Shen Jiahao said and warned him.
"Disciple understood!" Feng Yun said with a bow before leaving the hall of sect master.�
Just as Feng Yun came out from the hall, a handsome young man walking towards the hall of sect master.�
The young man was bearing a white colored robe carrying a sword behind his back, his appearance was handsome, and have powerful aura, as terrifying sword intent resolved around him.
Feng Yun glanced at the boy, his pupil constrict slightly because it was first time when Feng Yun met someone who have such powerful sword intent in his body.
Feng Yun was sure that this boy must have comprehended at least third level of sword intent to be able to have such powerful sword intent around his body.
Feng Yun guessed a name of white clothes sword man in his mind, the number disciple of Mystic Heaven Peak, Sword Maniac. Other than him, Feng Yun couldn't think of anyone else who could comprehend the third level of sword intent in such young age.
As Feng Yun was looking at the boy in white robe, he also glanced back at Feng Yun. The eyes of the white robed young man flickered with surprised when he glanced at Feng Yun.
Because when he could at Feng Yun, he could sense strong sword intent from others body, although it was completely restraining inside Feng Yun's body unlike himself, he could still sense it. Because he was very sensitive towards sword intent, he could sense others sword intent.
Both of them glanced at each other for a moment and nodded at each slightly before withdrawing their gazes. Crossing their path, Feng Yun walked out from the hall while Sword Maniac entered the hall of sect master.
When Feng Yun returned to his courtyard, it was already evening, as he knocked on the door, it was opened by Tang Yuan.
"Welcome Senior Brother!" Seeing the familiar face, a smile blossomed on her face and she greeted Feng Yun with a bow.
Feng Yun nodded while smiling and entered the house, he forgot to give her a kiss before walking inside.
"Congrats senior brother for winning the competition!" Tang Yuan congratulate Feng Yun excitedly.
