The fact that "Master Qian" severed his own heart meridian came as a complete surprise to everyone.
His final words also deeply moved many people.
No one would have guessed that this was a killer who made a living by taking other people's lives.
His last words were actually advice and warnings to his opponent, Lu Qing.
Even Lu Qing's eyes flickered with emotion as he silently stared at the assassin's corpse, lost in thought.
As the aura of the "Master Qian" faded, his appearance and physique began to change gradually.
His originally short and stout body gradually changed and lengthened, growing taller and thinner.
His face also changed to that of a very ordinary middle-aged man.
This bizarre change immediately sent chills down the spines of the guests.
"The Yi Jin Bone Transformation Technique is a secret art that the top assassins of the Seven Kill Tower must practice. It can completely change a person's physique and appearance, and change their identity. It is truly bizarre."
It is precisely because of this technique that the Seven Kill Tower has such a high success rate in assassinations, making it an assassination sect feared by everyone.
It is precisely because of this technique that the Seven Kill Tower has been able to survive to this day, and several top sects have tried to eradicate them, but ultimately failed.
The young man in plain clothes sighed.
The guests immediately felt their hair stand on end.
This Yi Jin Bone Transformation Technique is indeed extremely strange and impossible to defend against.
Who could guard against someone who could completely transform into another person's appearance to carry out an assassination?
After all, everyone has one or two close friends or family members in this world.
Wei Xinghe was even more horrified and shocked.
"Your Excellency Zhi Rui, this person is dead. What about An'er's future safety...?"
The Seven Killings Tower is so terrifying. If they've set their sights on you, will Zi'an have any chance of survival?
"Please rest assured, Patriarch Wei, the rules of the Seven Kill Tower are that once an assassin accepts an assassination mission, the reward must be paid. If the assassination is successful, 70% of the reward will go to the assassin. If the assassination fails and the assassin dies, the reward will belong to the Seven Kill Tower."
Unless the assassin himself admits the mission failed and compensates the sect, the Seven Kill Tower might not be able to return the reward.
Therefore, if the patron wants to continue assassinating Young Master Wei, he must offer another reward.
But this time, even the assassins at the Twelve Heavenly Generals level failed.
If the assassinations continue, the reward would likely more than double.
I don't think that person would be willing to pay such a high price.
The young man in plain clothes reassured her.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood the domineering nature of the Seven Kill Tower.
The young man in plain clothes made his meaning clear: as long as an assassination bounty is posted in the Seven Kill Tower, anyone who takes on the mission will be forced to accept it unless the assassin admits defeat and is willing to offer compensation.
Otherwise, regardless of success or failure, the payment must be made.
Of course, the Seven Killings Tower must have something to rely on to act in this way.
Perhaps it is because, as Your Excellency Zhi Rui said earlier, the Seven Kill Tower has an extremely high success rate in assassinations that they have the confidence to set up such rules.
Even Wei Xinghe felt a little relieved upon hearing this.
To entice an assassin even more powerful than the Twelve Heavenly Generals, the bounty for the mission must be extremely high.
The person behind it all was clearly after him.
If the other party could get someone of that caliber to take action, they would probably just put a bounty on his head for assassination.
Instead of resorting to underhanded tactics like assassinating Zi'an to provoke him, they did so.
"In comparison, I'm actually more worried about Lu Xiaolangjun."
At this moment, the young man in plain clothes continued.
Everyone was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing also looked over.
"According to what this assassin said before he died, he called himself 'Tian Gu'. If I'm not mistaken, he should be the ninth-ranked of the Twelve Heavenly Generals in the Seven Kill Tower."
Although the Seven Kill Tower has countless assassins, the number of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends and thirty-six Heavenly Generals is fixed.
You defeated 'Tian Gu' and he committed suicide, leaving the ninth position of the Twelve Dippers vacant.
The positions of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals hold a very special significance within the Seven Kill Tower. Now that one position is vacant, it will surely attract the covetous eyes of other assassins.
To compete for a position among the Heavenly Stars, one must prove oneself.
The quickest way to prove it would be to assassinate you, the martial arts master who defeated 'Tian Gu'.
So if my guess is correct, next, there will probably be quite a few Seven Kill Tower assassins who want to meet you.
Even the Seven Killings Tower might issue an internal assassination order to kill you.
The Seven Kill Tower's assassination techniques are unpredictable and difficult to deal with; you must be careful.
The young man in plain clothes said solemnly.
"If this is true, then isn't Xiaoyan in danger?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing's expression became somewhat serious.
If the Seven Killings Tower really intends to assassinate him, then it would indeed be quite troublesome.
He himself wasn't afraid, but he was afraid that those people would use any means necessary to harm Xiaoyan.
"You can rest assured about that. The Seven Kill Tower also has its own pride. According to its rules, if you want to prove that you have the ability to compete for the position of Heavenly Star, you must defeat you fair and square with the art of assassination."
If you are threatened by others to force your submission, not only will the Seven Kill Tower not acknowledge such achievements, but they will also punish you.
The positions of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits hold special significance within the Seven Killings Tower; how could they be so casually assigned to such positions?
The young man in plain clothes explained.
"I see. That's fine then. Let them come. I want to see what's so strange about this Seven Kill Tower."
Hearing that it wouldn't affect anyone else, Lu Qing felt much relieved.
As for the assassination attempt by the Seven Kill Tower...
That Yi Jin Bone Transformation Technique, capable of changing one's appearance, is indeed miraculous.
But in front of him, who possesses divine soul power and extraordinary abilities, even the most miraculous transformation techniques are completely exposed and utterly useless.
Unless it's an assassin at the Innate Realm level, he doesn't need to be too wary.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing couldn't help but ask, "Lord Zhi Rui, do you know if there are any assassins at the Innate Realm level in the Seven Kill Tower?"
"Yes!" the young man in plain clothes answered confidently.
"But don't worry, even the Seven Kill Tower must abide by the Holy Mountain's prohibition. Martial artists above the Innate Realm are not allowed to attack humans below the Innate Realm without cause."
"If anyone dares to openly defy the prohibition, even the Seven Kill Tower will not be able to withstand the pressure from the Holy Mountain and the Four Great Secret Realms."
"Excellent! I've been wanting to see the other secret techniques of the Seven Kill Tower, and this is a good opportunity."
Now Lu Qing could finally relax.
Seeing Lu Qing remain so calm and composed in the face of a possible terrifying assassination attempt, all the guests were filled with admiration.
They remembered the words "Tian Gu" had said before he died.
Although it is unclear what exactly this so-called "eternal change" is.
But I do somewhat believe in the idea of a chosen one.
If even someone as stunning as Lu Qing cannot become the chosen one of destiny...
They simply couldn't imagine what kind of extraordinary talent a true chosen one of destiny must possess.
