Chapter 668: Cai’er’s Domain of Purification (I)

Being the chief elder of the Assassin Temple, how could the experienced Xue Zhisheng not be able to tell out the changes on the others? Just as Cai’er had said, strength was the greatest factor of authority. Moreover, she wielded the symbolic Saint Dagger of Samsara, giving her an extreme importance inside the Assassin Temple. Adding Sheng Yue’s support of her to that, if this went on, his control over the elders would surely suffer a huge blow.

The reason why Xue Zhisheng had such backing in the Assassin Temple naturally had its basis, stemming first of all from the consideration behind his decision for the Assassin Temple.

At the same time, he had his own selfish motives. The head of the Mage Temple Li Zhengzhi had given him the promise that if he managed to get the Assassin Temple to remain neutral, after the new Alliance gets established, he’d be given a high position in this new Alliance. Don’t think that because of his old age, his thirst for authority would have lightened. Perhaps he was even more thirsty for the unobtainable.

Right now, it looked that Sheng Yue and Cai’er were about to regain control of the situation, so he naturally wouldn’t leave the matter at that. Snorting coldly, he suddenly let a huge blast of imposing manner burst out from him, catching the attention of everyone present here.

“Very well. Then let this man try out, to see whether you are qualified to undertake the heavy responsabilities of the Saint Daughter of Samsara. If you win, I will unconditionally support all your future decisions, as well as be in favor of you replacing Sheng Yue. But if you lose, stay secluded in our Temple for a few more years, and you can take duty in some high position after you gain sufficient strength.”

No matter what one may say, Xue Zhengzhi was a higher-up from the Assassin Temple. After a short time of fury, he gained some knowledge of Cai’er from Sheng Yue’s explanation. Of course, he understood that Cai’er’s presence would very possibly make a new glorious future arise for the Asssassin Temple, so, right now, his speech was a lot lighter. Of course, he did not believe that the current Cai’er had enough capability, after all, she was still so young. His current hope was to gain control over the current Assassin Temple and gain a better standing in the new Alliance. As for the future, it should be left to the youngsters of Cai’er’s generation.

That is why Zhisheng decided to accept Cai’er’s challenge and prove himself with strength, in order to maintain his support among these fickle assassins.

Sheng Yue did not evenq take Xue Zhisheng in his eye, a light smile coming in to view on his severe face. That’s because he knew that at the time Cai’er brought the Assassin Temple’s higher-ups there, Xue Zhisheng had already lost. He didn’t lose in cultivation, but in age and future. Even if he didn’t take part anymore, Cai’er’s supporters would only keep growing more and more. As for this battle, no matter whether it ends as a win or a loss, Cai’er had already made a real impact on the people, making her control over the Assassin Temple only a matter of time.

Xue Zhisheng’sfigure sparkled slightly, then his figure disappeared, and the next instant he appeared at a distance of twenty meters from Cai’er. His awe-inspiring look was directed at her like a viper eyeing its prey, his hands placed behind his back and showing a unwavering face.

“Make your move then.” As a powerhouse of higher generation, Xue Zhisheng was four generations ahead of Cai’er, so attacking the first was not something he could do.

Cai’er responded with a light smile, “Then you better take care.”

The Sickle of the Goddess of Light lightly paused on the ground, and the pure white light of purification spread to all directions, giving off a feeling of electricity hovering through the whole sky. Cai’er’s Sickle of the Goddess of Light strucked under these circumstances.

Right at the same time as Cai’er made her move, Xue Zhisheng’s body disappeared, leaving only light silver remnants behind.

That was the highest powerhouse of the Assassin Temple, an assassin wielding space attribute, not someone who speaks casually, but one with real great strength.

When Cai’er’s blow landed and gave off the feeling that she was in a disadvantageous position, a miraculous change took place.

The Sickle of the God of Death rapidly traced a shifting arc, and at the same time, Cai’er’s whole body turned into a white color, and the Sickle of the God of Death had a huge blade extension attached

First of the seven arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood.

Dang. A figure was pushed away in midair.

At the same time that huge white blade swept past the empty space, Xue Zhisheng fortunately appeared at its weakest spot.

Having just crossed space through instant shift to face such a terrible blow, Xue Zhisheng was really pressured greatly as one may well imagine.

The killing intent originally swarming out from Cai’er seemed to have disappeared, but the immense Sickle of the God of Death in her hand felt about to slice Xue Zhisheng

A pair of silvery white daggers with an orange tint came to block off that white glow, as he took on a soul shock, dispersing rapidly his spatial spiritual energy, as his spiritual highland unexpectedly got dispersed upon contact with that white blade.
