Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 189 Assassination
Through the power of the evil ghost skin, Yang Lie read the memories of the Yuantong Demon Cult elders such as Shi Mo, and also knew the terrain of the Koren Empire's palace like the back of his hand.

The Kelun Empire was an empire where religious authority outweighed imperial power. The leader of the Yuantong Demon Cult was the empire's spiritual leader and de facto ruler. The Kelun Empire's royal family merely served as secular rulers, the equivalent of a chief steward.

If the royal family of the Kelun Empire had not been appointed by the leader of the Yuantong Demon Cult, it would have been impossible for them to secure the throne. Sixty percent of the palace's territory belonged to the leader of the Yuantong Demon Cult, and only 40% belonged to the emperor.

"That's the Real Magic Eye Mirror! A magic mirror that sees through reality! The nemesis of stealth assassins! As expected of the Imperial Palace, it's a real problem!"

Yang Lie came to a corner of the palace. With his extraordinary eyesight, he saw from afar a real magic pupil mirror hanging on the top of a palace. It was extremely difficult to sneak in silently.

"The True Demonic Eye Mirror can see through disguises, assassins who use shadows, darkness, and other supernatural powers to sneak through. However, as long as you don't use supernatural powers, it will not react at all."

Yang Lie once again disappeared into the darkness, moving like a ghost outside the field of view of the Real Magic Pupil Mirror.

'Lucky to find it!'

Yang Lie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he activated the power of the dark dragon. A shadow extended from the darkness and pierced into the shadow of an officer moving towards the core area of ​​the palace.

The officer's body trembled, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes, and he involuntarily walked towards the jungle where Yang Lie was.

Soon, Yang Lie used the Life Dragon Transformation to control his body and changed into the appearance of the officer. Wearing the officer's uniform, he strode towards the core area of ​​the palace.

The real magic pupil mirror above the palace had no reaction to Yang Lie and allowed him to pass through easily.

"General Nice, please stay."

Several soldiers stopped Yang Liedao.

Yang Lie said sternly in a nice voice, "Go tell His Majesty, I came here late at night to report urgent military information! It's extremely urgent!"

"Yes! Please wait a moment!"

A soldier responded respectfully and trotted into the inner hall. Not long after, he returned and said respectfully, "General, His Majesty summons you!"

Yang Lie then strode into the palace and came to a spacious study.

Inside the study, a tall, blond, blue-eyed, handsome middle-aged man sat behind a desk. Beside him stood two eunuchs. The man was none other than King Shaka III.

Yang Lie bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty! I have important military intelligence to report. Please have them withdraw!"

"You two, back off!"

Shaka III waved his hand and the two eunuchs immediately retreated.

Shaka III said solemnly, "What happened?"

Yang Lie said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Emperor Zhang Jue of the Eastern Great Spirit Empire is leading an army of 800,000! It's said that the Great Spirit Empire has sent a total of 800 True Person-level warriors to destroy our country in one fell swoop! Many people in the empire have already made contact with the Great Spirit Empire!"

Shaka III frowned slightly and said slowly, "This is impossible! The logistics of an army of 800,000 are enough to bring down an empire!! This is definitely a number they made up to scare us! They only have 80,000 troops at most!!"

In ancient wars, one side would exaggerate its military strength by ten or even dozens of times to intimidate the enemy. Once the enemy saw that the opponent had so many troops, many people would lose their morale, lose all will to fight, and become terrified.

At the moment Shaka III was lost in thought, Yang Lie stepped forward, appearing in front of Shaka III almost instantly, and slashed with his sword. "Assassin!!"

Shaka III was also a powerful warrior of the Five Demon Eyes level. His face suddenly changed, and the five demon eyes on his forehead had just opened when a terrifying sword energy slashed across his neck, instantly cutting off his head and sending blood spurting out.

Yang Lie directly used the Water Dragon Transformation, and the blood spurting out of Shaka III's body turned into a blood ball and fell into his hand, which he casually collected into the small world.

The evil ghost's skin flew onto Shaka III's body and began to read his memory.

"From now on, I am Shaka III!!"

Yang Lie sat directly on Shaka III's chair. His face moved and changed directly into the appearance of Shaka III, smiling.

"Let me see your memory! Hmm? There are two leaders of the Yuantong Demon Cult, number zero! One is Shaka III, and the other is the leader himself! Both sides share memories and perceptions."

"Oh no! The leader of the Yuantong Demon Cult discovered me while I was trying to kill him. No, what kind of power did he use? This doesn't seem to be an ordinary ability. He used the Avatar Tree, a sacred tree passed down from generation to generation in the Kelun Empire, to create an avatar."

"The clone tree blooms once every thousand years, bears fruit once every thousand years, and matures once every thousand years. It takes three thousand years for a clone fruit to appear. After consuming the clone fruit, one can consume one's life essence and strength to create a clone."

"After creating a clone, one's own cultivation will plummet. Therefore, the powerful people of the Kelun Empire rarely use the clone fruit."

"However, in order to control both secular power and the power of the Yuantong Demon Cult, the leader of the Yuantong Demon Cult created a clone, Shaka III of the Kelun Empire. His control of all power prevented the Kelun Empire from internal strife and allowed the entire empire to thrive."

"However, this guy used the clone fruit and separated half of his life essence, which weakened him significantly. He is no longer the strongest in the Yuantong Demon Cult. However, the Crow Death Demon, the number one in the Yuantong Demon Cult, does not know this."

Yang Lie browsed through Shaka III's memories and learned countless secrets, then used his lightness skills to fly outside.

"Assassin!! There's an assassin!!"

"Kill him!!"

"..."

The moment Yang Lie flew out of the study, two life-level eunuchs opened five magic eyes on their foreheads. One of them transformed into a three-meter-tall giant demon, and the other transformed into a five-eyed wolf demon with a wolf head and a human body, and attacked Yang Lie.

"Too weak!"

Yang Lie chuckled and used the Holy Dragon Sword Technique, instantly slashing out two swords.

The giant demon and wolf demon were both cut in half by the sword light, blood splattering everywhere, and then they were sucked into Yang Lie's hands and sent into his small world. The corpses of these real-level powerhouses were nutrients for the evolution of Yang Lie's small world.

"kill!!"

With a loud shout, dense arrows shot from all directions of the palace towards Yang Lie.

There are many powerful crossbowmen hidden in the palace of the Koren Empire. The crossbows they hold are very powerful. Even real-level strongmen may be injured if they do not enter the five-eyed demon state.
