Boom!
When that gaze fell upon him, Guai Xin instantly plunged into an endless darkness.
In this boundless blackness, countless lonely celestial bodies floated, all incredibly dilapidated and eerily silent, quietly suspended in this vast universe.
Above these planets, a pair of eyes filled with the essence of the entire universe quietly stared at Guai Xin, as if trying to see through everything in his heart in an instant.
Guai Xin's eyes became dazed in that moment.
Just then, a resonating sound echoed, and a terrifying dragon's roar reverberated through the heavens and the earth. The dragon's chant sword at his waist had unknowingly floated up, with a startled dragon moving around, instantly waking Guai Xin from his confusion.
"The Dragon's Chant Sword, so you're a disciple from that lineage."
Seeing the Dragon's Chant Sword on Guai Xin, those eyes revealed a serious expression, letting out a light laugh. With a boom, the scene before Guai Xin instantly shattered, revealing a figure that stood proudly, exuding an endless concealed killing intent, quietly turning his back to him.
"Guai Xin, master of the Sky Outside Tower in Southern Origin City, pays his respects to the senior." Guai Xin hurriedly bowed to the figure ahead, his expression respectful.
"Such a young master of the Sky Outside Tower, yet already possesses such strength; truly, heroes emerge from the youth." The figure spoke lightly, laughing.
"Junior does not dare to take such praise." Guai Xin quickly lowered his head. "May I ask which expert from my Heaven Beyond Heaven has come to visit the Sky Outside Tower in Southern Origin City? I apologize for not welcoming you properly."
"Hehe." The figure turned around, gazing indifferently at Guai Xin, "As a person from that lineage, you can become the master of the Sky Outside Tower in Southern Origin City at such a young age; you must be part of the core direct line. The news of my arrival, your lineage wouldn't fail to inform you, would they?"
Guai Xin's expression froze.
"Alright, before this seat, do not play any tricks." The visitor turned and sat down in the only chair within the grand hall, looking down at Guai Xin. "This seat is the Great Saint of the Peak. I believe you have heard of my purpose for coming here, given your background. Now, tell me everything you have gathered regarding that Qin Chen in the Sky Outside Tower, leaving no detail omitted."
"Understood." Guai Xin's expression remained respectful as he hurriedly conveyed all the information he had collected about Qin Chen to the Great Saint of the Peak, leaving no detail out.
"Oh? This person actually wiped out the third leader of the Black Dragon Society, the Saint of the City Dragon, with a single move? And possesses a unique and astonishing mastery in spatial techniques?" The Great Saint of the Peak's lips curled into a cold smile. "It seems that one wishes for me to take the lead in our Heaven Beyond Heaven task? To act as bait?"
The Great Saint of the Peak laughed coldly. Being a chaos-level assassin, he was certainly no fool. Every mission he undertook was done personally, and he would thoroughly investigate rather than trust information easily obtained.
As an assassin, a single mistake could lead to irreparable consequences.
"Very well." The Great Saint of the Peak stood up. "I am also serving as the inspector of Heaven Beyond Heaven while I am here in the Southern Cosmic Sea. I will give you half a month's time. After completing my other task in half a month, I expect to see the accounts of your Sky Outside Tower for this era."
As the words fell, the Great Saint of the Peak's figure swayed and suddenly vanished.
Phew!
Seeing the Great Saint of the Peak leave, Guai Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time.
Outside the grand hall, the chief steward of the Sky Outside Tower rushed in abruptly.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Guai Xin's eyes flickered. "That person has already been here."
"You mean...?" The chief steward of the Sky Outside Tower's pupils shrank. "Shouldn't we...?"
