Book 14, Return to the Grand Xia, Chapter 27 – The Sixteenth Stage of the [Criram of the Nine Heavens]

Roughly thirty years ago, hout the entire world of the Grand Xia It seeh they had come from another world

One of the organizations was known as Bloodcloud Hall

Bloodcloud Hall was an assassin’s guild It didn’t participate in any political struggles; whoever gave the out assassinations! They would assassinate anyone frohty Celestial Immortals! They could kill anyone in the entire world of the Grand Xia, aside from the Grand Xia Emperor himself Ever since Bloodcloud Hall had appeared in the world of the Grand Xia, they had delivered talismans to the various supreh the talisendary ‘Bloodcloud Hall world’ There, they could offer treasures and sign agreeets

If the ain If Bloodcloud Hall chose to give up the mission, they would return all the treasures taken

If they succeeded…neither side would owe the other anything

There was another power, one known as the Seamless Gate

This was a power that was far more mysterious than Bloodcloud Hall The Seamless Gate had also revealed traces of itself in the world of the Grand Xia roughly thirty years ago They had furiously stirred up trouble throughout the entire world; for exaifted the Blood God Church, which had always felt hatred towards the Northmont clan of Stillwater, with secret arts and treasures so as to help theer

In the past, the Blood God Church had been weak, and so the Blood God Church had suppressed its hatred for the Northroerful, and with the blandishun to launch frenzied attacks

The Seamless Gate had moved to seduce many powers in many places

They would bestow treasures and secret arts…and would reward those who killed powerful figures! The ifts they would bestow

“What is this Seaence report He couldn’t help but feel dazed and tongue-tied “They are causing so much trouble in the entire world of the Grand Xia…they are causing everyone to kill as many people as possible, and the more one kills, the more treasures and secret arts one would acquire?”

No one knehere the headquarters of the Seamless Gate was located

In fact, no one had even located a gathering point for the Seamless Gate The seduced powers all had to wait for the envoys of the Seamless Gate to personally come visit them

The Seamless Gate was extremely powerful…their white-robed envoys were all Loose Iolden-robed envoys were Celestial Immortals More than three hundred different Celestial Immortals had already been verified!

“Three hundred?!” A look of utter shock appeared on Ning’s face as he read this figure

Terrifying Utterly terrifying!

During the Conclave of Immortal Destiny, just a thousand or so Celestial Ihout the Grand Xia Dynasty to the ht Palace Of course, there were evento participate, such as Celestial Iflame clan, in turn, had only sent Patriarch Arcanum

The entire Grand Xia Dynasty most likely had several thousand Celestial Immortals, perhaps even as many as ten thousand

But…

They represented the full force available to all the marquises, schools, and sects They weren’t necessarily part of the imperial clan’s power! There was a limit to hoerful the imperial clan was, and in fact there had even been rebellions led by marquises in the past Even powers like the North in a low-keypassively as events unfolded There was no way they would act in an insane o serve as cannon fodder for the imperial clan

“We have already discovered le organization, the Seamless Gate In the entire Grand Xia Dynasty, aside from them, most likely only the imperial clan is this powerful None of the other clans or tribes are so strong’ Ning was secretly amazed by this “No wonder not even the Xia Emperor dares to act rashly; after all, the three hundred-plus so-called ‘golden-robed envoys’ are merely ‘envoys’; they don’t represent the Seamless Gate’s full power”

Bloodcloud Hall illing to kill anyone for treasures; even the imperial Xia clan could hire them to take on assassination missions

The Sea chaos everywhere But no one knew anything about the true power, headquarters, or gathering points for the Seamless Gate

Aside from these two major powers, there were other hidden powers as well…but they were evenvery few traces of themselves These two major poere too brash; naturally, there was a bitthem

Be it the already-revealed Bloodcloud Hall and Seamless Gate, or those other hidden powers…

They shared a commonality

They all appeared roughly thirty years ago!

“No wonder the Xia E so cautious Bloodcloud Hall and the Sealy powerful…the book

“Don’t worry too hed “The person who controls this world of the Grand Xia is still his I trouble in secret, such as the Seamless Gate…if they truly had the power to shake the i around furtively, not daring to show their faces, nor would they act in such indirect ways”

Ning was ht I understand”

It made sense Even the likes of the Northmont clan of Stillwater had secret powers behind them such as Patriarch Unity As the controller of this entire major world, and as the Grand Xia Emperor who came from the Primordial Imperial Clan…how es? The control the Grand Xia Emperor had over this entire world was extreon Guard!

Every single cole Raindragon Guard branch was comparable in power to the local marquis

The Raindragon Guard, as a whole, possessed utterly enormous power!

“His I an end to the era of FiendGods in this world; he’s not so The stor but a bit of wind and a few sprinkles of rain” The silver-haired , that you now understand things a bit better, and also see clearly the overall state of affairs here in the world of the Grand Xia”

“Right” Ning nodded “Thank you, senior Skyfox Oh…I should be thanking his Ience report If it wasn’t for this report, I would have no idea about what Bloodcloud Hall was, to say nothing of the Seamless Gate”

“If there’s anything you need, you can go to the imperial capital of the Grand Xia and seek h “I’ll naturally do my best to help out”
