Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 988 - 466: New Entry!

The night breeze was slightly cool.

Through the window glass, Shen Ye saw the figure of a man in black standing on the backyard wall.

Assassination—

It had happened three times in total.

Only after that was I given the title of "Bloodline."

From that point on, the world was no longer on guard against me, nor would it hinder me from doing anything.

It seems, then, that assassination is a kind of selection.

Over three silent days, based on individual performance, different labels and classifications were assigned.

"Bloodline" should be a high evaluation.

Then what are the other labels?

As I pondered.

The man in black leaped off the wall and began walking toward Shen Ye’s room.

He drew the sword at his waist as he walked.

—The assassination had begun!

Shen Ye’s eyes flickered.

What kind of label do I need to secure formal, safe survival after this assassination?

Definitely not "Truth."

Winning doesn’t seem to work either.

Both paths of fate indicated an end in death.

Then what should I do?

The man in black had already crossed the backyard.

No time to think—

Shen Ye took a deep breath, opened the window, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Thief!"

His voice traveled far into the night.

The man in black froze.

After a moment, there was little response from the surroundings.

Shen Ye’s heart tightened.

No good, it’s not working!

He shouted again, even louder:

"Adultery! Adultery! Catch the cheater! Strip him bare and beat him hard!"

In an instant.

Amidst the night, the sounds of windows and doors being flung open echoed far and wide.

The entire street lit up.

It was just past nine o’clock at night.

Most people hadn’t gone to bed yet, and those who had were startled awake by Shen Ye’s cries, scrambling to the doors to see the commotion.

The man in black, seeing the tide turning against him, fled instantly.

He had just leapt onto the wall when suddenly he raised his sword to block in one direction.

Thud!

A heavy impact sounded.

Like a cannonball, the man in black was knocked back into the yard, crashing into the ground and creating a shallow crater.

Father Shen!

Father Shen stood atop the wall, staring coldly at the man in black and shouting:

"Who are you really?"

Mother Shen stood behind him.

More and more Professionals began landing on the wall.

"Old Shen, why did you bring someone back home to fool around?"

One Professional joked as soon as they landed.

"Open your damn dog eyes and look clearly!"

Father Shen barked.

Everyone turned to look into the courtyard.

The man in black struggled to his feet, trying to flee in another direction, but it was already too late.

The entire wall was now covered with Professionals.

The path leading to the room was also blocked.

The crowd watched him with interest.

"Damn it! Didn’t you say to strip him? Why is he still wearing so much?"

One Professional growled.

Some had already figured out the situation and spoke up:

"This clearly isn’t an adultery bust."

"Indeed, this guy looks like an assassin or killer."

"Strange, who has Old Shen offended?"

The crowd buzzed with speculation and then collectively drew their weapons, encircling the man in black.

—Though they didn’t witness the scandalous scene they imagined, capturing an assassin in unison was still a tale worth retelling for years.

Outnumbered and aware resistance was futile, the man in black simply dropped his longsword and surrendered.

"Escort him to the Security Bureau," Shen Ye shouted loudly.

"There’s no Security Bureau anymore; it’s called the Law Enforcement Bureau now." Father Shen glared at him.

It’s all because of you, brat, that this turned into such a mess.

—Just wait until I’m back from the Bureau to settle accounts with you!

The crowd escorted the assassin away.

Father Shen went along.

Mother Shen stayed behind to watch over the house.

Not that there was much to watch over.

Several Professionals from the Law Enforcement Bureau arrived at the scene to handle the search and security while Mother Shen coordinated alongside them.

Shen Ye was asked a few questions before being sent back to sleep.

Returning to his room, he closed the door.

The lights and noise were shut out.

The fear and tension on his face completely vanished. Shen Ye yawned, sat by the window, and poured himself a glass of water.

Sipping it, he looked out toward the backyard wall.

—Would more assassins come?

Suddenly.

A surge of energy rippled through him.

Sixteenth Layer of Law Realm.

Lines of faint glowing text silently appeared:

"Your doppelgänger has been fervently practicing the ’Rapid Cultivation Guide,’ achieving a significant breakthrough on the seventeenth day of the third month."

"Your All Attributes have increased to 450 points."

"Congratulations."

"When utilizing the king species bloodline, your All Attributes can now barely unleash the power of the Three Techniques."

"The Three Techniques have formally activated."

"Your Dharma Aspect, ’Yin Yang Liangyi Salvation Mountain,’ is about to evolve to a higher level."

"Once your Dharma Aspect completes its evolution, the three Technique Spirits will return."

"—They are waiting for that moment."

"Additionally, during the evolution of your Dharma Aspect, you will temporarily be unable to use the power of Dharma Manifestation."

Shen Ye was slightly surprised.

"Su Rong, can the Three Techniques reach the Truth Level?" he asked.

"Of course they can. Do not underestimate the Three Techniques—one day, you’ll understand," Su Rong replied with profound meaning.

Shen Ye pulled his thoughts back and began planning how to deal with the next assassination attempt.

A flash of cold light.

Clang!

The Night Rain Blade deflected the attack.

In a split second, Shen Ye used the momentum of the attack to burst through the window, shattering glass as he landed outside with a crash.

Two men in black burst through the shattered window, continuing their pursuit.

"Help! Someone help!"

Shen Ye shouted at the top of his lungs, turning and running.

—The assassins had suddenly respawned!

And right behind him!

This test was far too treacherous!

The Power of Truth on the Night Rain Blade was fully suppressed.

Shen Ye only used the most basic defensive techniques, never striking back, even leveraging the attackers’ strength to propel himself backward.
