Chapter 228: Chapter 169: Seven Killings Order, The Waves Begin to Rise

Seeing that Lu Qing showed no fear of the possible assassinations from Seven Killings Tower, even the cloth-clothed youth couldn’t help but admire him.

At this moment, even he had to admit that what “Heavenly Orphan” said before dying had some truth to it.

Lu Qing indeed might be an exceptional talent born at the right moment before the era of great strife, carrying the mandate of destiny.

“Young Master Lu, actually, this could be an opportunity for you, perhaps.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s composed demeanor, the cloth-clothed youth couldn’t help but remark jokingly, after admiring him inwardly.

“Oh, what do you mean by that?” Lu Qing asked, slightly taken aback.

...
“Seven Killings Tower is a sect that possesses ancient heritages, and similarly, it follows some ancient rules.

Within Seven Killings Tower, an assassination order is issued called the Seven Killings Order.

Once the Seven Killings Order is activated, you will face the assassins of the entire Seven Killings Tower, but these assassination attempts are not unlimited.

According to the rules of the Seven Killings Order, they will carry out a maximum of seven assassination attempts against you.

After seven attempts, if you are still alive, then Seven Killings Tower will cease their pursuit and offer you the highest courtesy.

Not only will they treat you as a distinguished guest, but they will also pledge never to accept any assassination tasks concerning you ever again.

Additionally, they will declare to the entire assassin world that you have become a guest of honor in Seven Killings Tower. Any other assassin organization that attempts to assassinate you will be seen as provoking Seven Killings Tower, and they will face Seven Killings Tower’s revenge.

Moreover, it’s rumored that besides these, Seven Killings Tower will present you with an opportunity.

However, what this opportunity specifically is, no one has ever known.”

The cloth-clothed youth’s explanation made everyone listen in stunned silence.

No one had imagined that an assassination from Seven Killings Tower involved so many specifics.

“Mr. Zhi Rui, based on what you’ve said, does it mean that anyone who survives the Seven Killings Order will in turn be protected by Seven Killings Tower?” Wei Xinghe asked.

“That’s correct,” the cloth-clothed youth nodded.

Lu Qing, however, inquired, “Then may I ask Mr. Zhi Rui, has anyone ever survived this Seven Killings Order?”

“Yes!” the cloth-clothed youth asserted.

“The Seven Killings Order of Seven Killings Tower is not issued lightly, but according to the records of Tianji Building, in the nearly ten thousand years, Seven Killings Tower has issued at least hundreds of Seven Killings Orders.

Too distant events are hard to verify, but in the most recent millennium, a total of three people have safely survived the pursuit of the Seven Killings Order.

The most recent individual was a figure from three hundred years ago.

And these three individuals did indeed, as rumors had it, receive Seven Killings Tower’s protection, and thereafter, they never experienced any form of assassination for the rest of their lives.

It is said that one of them was once targeted for assassination by a rising assassin organization.

But the moment the contract was offered, before anyone could take up the task, that assassin organization was uprooted overnight and completely eradicated.

It is precisely because of these incidents that people believe Seven Killings Tower truly adheres to the rules of the Seven Killings Order.”

Only three people had managed to survive the assassination attempts of the Seven Killings Order in a millennium!

Hearing this, everyone finally understood just how difficult this was.

Goodness, the odds were so slim, it was hardly sufficient to say it’s surviving against all odds.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was a near-certain death scenario.

No wonder Seven Killings Tower would make such a promise; to them, someone surviving the Seven Killings Order was a rarity that might not occur even once in hundreds of years.

Anyone who could escape Seven Killings Tower’s seven attempts and remain unscathed must indeed be an exceptional talent with tremendous fate and destiny.

For such a being, to step back and make way temporarily, what’s the harm?

Some astute guests pondered for a moment and then suddenly understood the subtlety involved.

The rule of Seven Killings Tower might appear restrictive, but in reality, it was a way for them to keep an escape route for themselves.

“So Young Master Lu, you needn’t worry about Seven Killings Tower not keeping their promise after you survive the Seven Killings Order. This is an ancient rule passed down through thousands of years in Seven Killings Tower, and they cannot possibly break it,” the cloth-clothed youth concluded.

“I never entrust my life to the promises of others.”

Lu Qing remained unaffected, replying indifferently.

“Whether the rule of the Seven Killings Order is true or not, I don’t care. If Seven Killings Tower really wants to assassinate me, then they should also be prepared to become my enemies. At that point, when to stop may not be for them to decide.”

Lu Qing was not one to passively receive blows.

If Seven Killings Tower really wanted to assassinate him, it might well turn out to be a question of who hunts whom.

Sensing the coldness in Lu Qing’s words, the cloth-clothed youth felt a chill in his heart.

Only then did he remember that the person before him was not as kind as he seemed on the surface.

The other guests felt an inexplicable chill as well.

Especially Ma Gu, who couldn’t help but recall the scene he witnessed at Happy Village: Lu Qing holding a long knife amidst the flames, decapitated heads rolling, corpses scattered everywhere, blood filling the ground.

Because of “Heavenly Orphan’s” assassination attempt, the Wei Family’s mentorship ceremony could only conclude hastily.

However, aside from the Qian Family, the other guests felt not the slightest disappointment.

Their gains from attending the Wei Family’s ceremony this time were immense.

Not only had they witnessed a duel between Martial Arts Experts but also learned many secret informations they normally couldn’t have accessed.

Particularly some keen-minded individuals who detected extremely important information from the conversation between the cloth-clothed youth and the assassin.

Like the disciples from Qingyun Sword Pavilion.
