Chapter 283: Easy Slaughter, Infinite Walker_2
"If there is a chance, I indeed need to explore it."
Although Lu Qing possessed superpowers, he was still very interested in this miraculous place that could magically enhance one's comprehension.
Meanwhile, upon hearing the elder doctor's words, Lin Zhirui's heart stirred.
According to the elder doctor, didn't that mean Lu Qing was still only in the Postnatal Realm?
During the day at Holy Mountain, had he really used his Postnatal Realm cultivation to severely injure Master Xuan Nu of Suspended Mountain with a single strike?
For a moment, Lin Zhirui's heart was mysteriously shaken.
He found it somewhat unimaginable, what kind of cultivation method Lu Qing had pursued.
To possess a frightening strength that could rival the Great Success of the Innate Realm while still in the Postnatal Realm.
"Mr. Zhi Rui, do you know who these people are?"
Lu Qing used his knife to lift the black masks from the faces of the two corpses in the courtyard, revealing the ordinary faces of middle-aged men.
Although he had already secretly used his superpower to investigate these people's identities, he still wanted to hear Lin Zhirui's opinion.
Lin Zhirui looked carefully for a while, then shook his head, "Forgive my poor sight, I have never seen these people before, and there is also no record of them in the archives I have reviewed."
He felt puzzled as well. Logically speaking, given the extraordinary skills of these individuals, each a Martial Arts Expert above the Innate Realm, Tianji Building should have had records of them.
"If the old man is not mistaken, these people should be from 'Wujian Building.'"
Just then, a voice sounded from outside, and the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master slowly walked in.
"Master!" Lin Zhirui hastily greeted him.
"Tower Master, do you know the origins of these people?"
Lu Qing wasn't surprised by the arrival of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master.
Their earlier battle had been quite noisy, and it would have been odd if a powerhouse like the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master hadn't noticed.
"I am late, I hope you all will not find it offensive." The Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master said apologetically, "These people's technique of concealment is indeed remarkable; even I was deceived by them and failed to detect their presence."
"No worries, they are but a few insignificant characters; there's no need for the Tower Master to act, we can handle it," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"These people are not insignificant in the least."
The Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master formed a Sword Qi in his hand and made a cut on one of the corpses, ripping open the cloth on the chest and revealing a strange tattoo on the chest.
Seeing this tattoo, he exhaled, "Indeed, they are people from Wujian Building, I didn't expect that this terrifying organization still exists."
"Master, what is Wujian Building? I don't seem to have ever heard of this Sect," asked Lin Zhirui.
"You naturally haven't heard of it because this Sect disappeared hundreds of years ago.
I thought it had completely perished and ceased to exist, but it seems they are still hidden in the shadows," sighed the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master.
"This Wujian Building is a terrifying assassin organization that suddenly appeared over four hundred years ago.
Yet, its rise was incredibly swift, and at its peak, it even once surpassed Seven Killings Tower."
"It was even stronger than Seven Killings Tower?" Lin Zhirui was astonished.
He knew that Seven Killings Tower was the most powerful Sect in the assassin world today, its influence so great that many Sects in Central State had to step back.
If this so-called Wujian Building could suppress even the Seven Killings Tower, how powerful must it have been?
"Correct, although Seven Killings Tower is an ancient Sect with a long heritage, during the rise of Wujian Building, even this ancient assassin Sect, on the matter of assassinations, couldn't compare to them.
Once, these two assassin Sects battled over their ranking in the assassin world.
Each sent ten Innate Realm assassins and ten Postnatal Realm assassins to compete in assassination techniques.
The result was a complete defeat for Seven Killings Tower.
Out of twenty matches, Seven Killings Tower lost seventeen, with fifteen disciples perishing in the contest.
After that battle, Seven Killings Tower was severely weakened and had to withdraw from the competition for the leadership of the assassin world.
Since then, Wujian Building's influence swelled once more, reaching its peak."
"Since Wujian Building was so formidable, why haven't I ever heard the name of this Sect now?" Lin Zhirui asked.
"Because, Wujian Building acted excessively," the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master stated with a complex expression in his eyes.
"This Sect, during its rise, acted crazily, accepting any commission regardless of the nature, committing many cruel deeds.
After defeating Seven Killings Tower and claiming the top position in the assassin world, their power expanded further, yet they did not restrain themselves or assimilate their gains.
On the contrary, their actions became even more unrestrained.
Their assassination missions grew crazier, willingly accepting commissions no matter how immoral."
"They would even assassinate infants if necessary,"
"Even disciples from other sects were assassinated in large numbers."
"Sometimes, to accomplish a mission, they would resort to any means necessary."
"They even committed such outrageous acts as poisoning an entire city just to assassinate one person."
Hearing such acts, everyone felt a chill to the bone.
Ma Gu couldn't help but speak up, "Has Wujian Building gone mad? With such behavior, how could the other sects tolerate them?"
"That's why they later disappeared," said the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master.
"Wujian Building, with its cruel and ruthless indiscriminate assassinations, has become no different from evil demons, naturally intolerable by other sects.
Thus, under the call of Holy Mountain, all the major sects instantly launched a crusade against Wujian Building.
Although Wujian Building was powerful, under the universal crusade, fighting was as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
After years of purging, Wujian Building was uprooted completely; even their most secret headquarters were destroyed and all disciples were slaughtered.
Even to ensure this sect vanished completely, the major sects later sealed away all information about Wujian Building.
They aimed to bury this evil sect in the annals of history.
We thought Wujian Building had been completely eradicated; unexpectedly, some remnants still linger.
And it seems, they might have grown strong again."
The Tower Master's gaze fell on the several corpses, his expression complex.
Both shocked and filled with suspicion.
"Master, you said Wujian Building has disappeared for hundreds of years; then how can you be sure these men are disciples of Wujian Building?" Lin Zhirui asked.
"Look at the tattoos on their chests," the Tower Master pointed at the initially slit-open clothes, "this tattoo is a unique symbol of Wujian Building.
It's said that the tattoo is a secret technique, containing a very potent drug.
When the disciples of Wujian Building face dire situations, they can just activate the secret technique and absorb the drug from the tattoo.
This allows them, to increase their strength by more than tenfold in a short time.
However, this secret technique can only be used once, as after its use, the user will definitely collapse and die.
Moreover, it takes some time to activate; if you interrupt a disciple of Wujian Building from fully absorbing the tattoo, there's nothing to worry about.
When the major sects were crusading against Wujian Building back then, they suffered great losses due to not understanding this secret technique and lost many experts."
Everyone's gaze fell on the tattoo at the chest of the corpses.
Some found it hard to imagine that this small tattoo could increase a person's strength by more than tenfold.
Ma Gu and others felt fortunate.
It was lucky that Lu Qing and elder doctor had killed these men before they could use the secret technique.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Apart from this tattoo, there's another thing, their method of concealment," continued the Tower Master.
"Wujian Building has a core inheritance called 'Infinite Walker,' which has a unique way of hiding their presence.
Once used, even Innate Realm experts can hardly detect their traces.
Back then, it was precisely because of this inheritance that Wujian Building acted so audaciously.
They were convinced that once they wanted to hide, no one could find them.
Indeed, this was the case as initially during the sects' crusade against Wujian Building, they could almost find no trace of them.
Later, it took great effort from Seven Killings Tower to develop a technique to counter 'Infinite Walker,' which eventually left them nowhere to hide.
However, considering what just happened, Wujian Building has evidently further improved their inheritance.
Even I was deceived and didn't realize their presence in time."
With that, the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master covertly glanced at Lu Qing.
Even he had not detected these people from Wujian Building, yet Lu Qing had been able to sense them.
How exactly had the young man managed to do this?
Lu Qing had not noticed the Tower Master's gaze; he pondered for a moment.
Then he suddenly asked, "Tower Master, who do you think sent these assassins to kill us?"
