Outside the Secret Realm of Seven Killings Hall.

Chen Yuan's figure gradually appeared, causing the surrounding void to distort slightly, a faint aura of rules enveloping him, as if covering him with a layer of hazy light.

After leaving Shuzhou City, he went straight towards the direction of Seven Killings Hall without delay, aiming to prevent the people of Seven Killings Hall from getting wind of the news beforehand.

Very few people knew about Xiang Qianqiu's death at this time; only Moluo and a select few were aware, and Chen Yuan had already made arrangements on Xiang Guangsheng's side to prevent the news from spreading.

Unless the people of Seven Killings Hall possessed extraordinary abilities, it was impossible for them to foresee this. But nonetheless, resolving this quickly is for the best.

Before he arrived, Daoist Tianxu and Xu Yan had already come to this place to make preparations. Upon sensing Chen Yuan's presence, several Yang Gods quickly gathered together.

"Daoist, how is the preparation of the grand formation?"

"It is ready."

Daoist Tianxu smiled faintly.

Unless someone wielded a great divine skill with enormous cost, it was extremely difficult to relocate a secret realm attached to the world, and the surrounding void was sealed.

Even those inside the secret realm had no possibility of tearing through the void.

Even immortals were the same!

This was the foundation of Taixu Immortal Sect; given time, they could easily seal the void.

"This time, the Ten Immortal Sects are about to become Nine Immortal Sects." Chen Huaiyi said in a deep voice, with a hint of humor and a sense of achievement in his eyes. For anyone, witnessing the demise of a powerful immortal sect with a millennium-long heritage is an absolute honor, akin to witnessing the change of an era.

"Let's begin!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Besides them, Moluo was also hiding within the void layer. Even if the ancestor of Seven Killings Hall had a trick to break the great formation, it would be to no avail.

Placing the wrong bet comes with a price!

With the Emperor Slaughter Saber in hand, Chen Yuan's gaze turned cold, causing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy around him to move and swiftly converge. In the next moment, a dazzling sword light hundreds of feet long exploded with a bang.

...

Within the Secret Realm of the Seven Killings Hall Mountain Gate.

Due to the deliberate concealment of the arrangements by Daoist Tianxu from outside, the people inside Seven Killings Hall were actually unaware that a void sealing formation had been laid outside.

However, the Seven Killings Hall Master had nonetheless received some extremely bad news. No matter how Chen Yuan tried to block the news, Seven Killings Hall, entrenched for a thousand years in the Central Plains, still had a vast intelligence network.

Just now, an informant risked their life to send back a message that Chen Yuan was suspected to be in Shuzhou City. Although this information was not yet fully confirmed, it was enough to startle him.

Upon receiving the message, he wasted no time heading to the forbidden area in the back mountain to meet the ancestor, and the moment they met, he relayed the information he had just received.

By the Blood Pond, all was silent. After a moment of silence, the ancestor of Seven Killings Hall spoke solemnly:

"This is not entirely unexpected. Between Xiang Qianqiu and Chen Yuan, a victor was bound to emerge. It is indeed somewhat surprising that Chen Yuan emerged as the victor."

"What should we do now? Should we proceed with the previous plan and probe Chen Yuan's intentions first?" the Hall Master asked solemnly.

"Is there any response from Xiang Qianqiu?"

"None yet, I fear he might have already...." the Hall Master did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear. With no response from the other side,

there could only be one answer: he had already fallen.

If not, even in a severely injured state, there should have been some movement.

"How about the people we dispatched?"

"They are still waiting at the Prince Mansion, and the reply was that King Yan is not present at the mansion; they asked to wait a moment."

"Wait a moment...."

Listening to the Hall Master's words, a vague unease suddenly rose in the ancestor of Seven Killings Hall's mind. At his level, premonitions could foretell some things in advance.

Chen Yuan's suspected appearance, the lack of any response from Xiang Qianqiu, and King Yan's absence from the mansion....

"This is bad, Chen Yuan is probably about to take action."

The ancestor of Seven Killings Hall's gaze suddenly locked, quickly inferring this possibility. Even if it might be wrong, even the slightest suspicion was extremely dangerous.

"Perhaps, this person is already on his way. The Secret Realm cannot remain."

"But... a millennium of heritage..." There was some reluctance in the ancestor of Seven Killings Hall's voice.

"Foolish, what is a so-called heritage worth? As long as the elites are preserved, Seven Killings Hall still has hope for a comeback. But if you and I fall, then... Seven Killings Hall will have no more chances."

"Convey my order: all assassins of the Core Realm and above in Seven Killings Hall must leave the Secret Realm and await further instructions."

"Yes, disciple...."

Just as the Hall Master finished speaking, suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and various formations within the Secret Realm of Seven Killings Hall rapidly surged, resisting the attack from outside.

Chen Yuan.... has already arrived!

"Ancestor, what should we do now?"

The Hall Master's face darkened, filled with cold malice.

"You go open the Secret Realm and express surrender to Chen Yuan, saying that from now on we are willing to submit. I will immediately use a secret technique to forcefully restore some of our power as a show of confidence."

"I understand, ancestor."

"Quickly go!"

The Hall Master nodded and turned to leave.

The ancestor of Seven Killings Hall's gaze slightly hardened as he snorted softly. His physical body rapidly began to dissolve, merging with the Blood Pond, while the surrounding void trembled slightly.

He directly tore open the void, intending to leave.

He was the most crucial person to Seven Killings Hall. As long as he lived, Seven Killings Hall still existed. As for everyone else, they were just pawns that could be sacrificed, including the Hall Master.
