The masked assassin looked down and saw to his horror that his right foot had been blasted off. He immediately let out a piercing scream and fell to his knees, unable to move.

"Ah!"

Seeing the masked assassin wailing on the ground, Duan Gujin ceased his assault, guessing that the opponent could no longer flee.

To prevent the masked assassin from using the Teleportation Plate to escape, he moved quickly, sealing the assassin's hands to ensure he could not make any movements.

Moreover, to prevent the masked assassin from committing suicide by poison, he immediately used his Divine Sense to inspect the inside of the assassin's mouth for any hidden poison capsules.

After confirming there were no issues, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You might as well kill me!"

Realizing his hands were sealed and his right foot had been blasted, the masked assassin gave up hope.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Duan Gujin immediately asked.

"I will not tell you, abandon that hope!"

The masked assassin displayed a fearless expression, looking coldly at Duan Gujin.

"Don't worry, you won't die!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath, his eyes flickering as he contemplated how to extract more information from the masked assassin before him.

Currently, he had no Divinity Transformation Pill on him; his only choice was to forcibly read the assassin's memory.

Unable to ascertain if he could kill the masked assassin here, he did not want his actions of killing a Human Warrior to be recorded on the Recording Name Plate.

If it came to that, he might very likely be expelled from this session of the Heaven Seizing Exam.

This was also why at the last critical moment, he decided to only blast the assassin's right foot.

He was running out of time, and the depletion of Primordial Power in his body was severe; he had to act swiftly and decisively.

He took a deep breath and quickly acted, crippling the assassin's Cultivation, rendering him powerless.

"I hate you!"

The masked assassin gritted his teeth in hatred towards Duan Gujin, but now he was utterly powerless and could only let Duan Gujin cripple his Cultivation.

After crippling the masked assassin's Cultivation, Duan Gujin then forcefully entered his memory.

An hour later, he finally learned from the masked assassin's memory that his adversary was an assassin from the Blood Demon Palace, dispatched here under the orders of the Vice Palace Master.

Duan Gujin was most surprised to discover that the masked assassin was a disciple of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, sent by the Vice Palace Master into the Ancient Battlefield to kill him.

"Why does the Vice Palace Master of the Blood Demon Palace want to kill me?" was not something the assassin needed to know.

"When did I offend the Blood Demon Palace?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he couldn't figure out when he had offended the Blood Demon Palace.

He had previously heard from Yan Dapang about some Demon Sects on the Jiuzhou Continent, and the Blood Demon Palace was among the notorious ones.

Those who joined the Demon Sects were considered Demon Cultivators by the Righteous Sects of the Jiuzhou Continent, and targets for elimination.

However, these Demon Sects were not only difficult to find but also moved unpredictably.

Thus, it was a very challenging task for the Righteous Path to eliminate Demon Sects.

The Demon Sects had strongholds, but these strongholds were far from the Jiuzhou Continent and perilously dangerous, peppered with obstacles like Flame Mountain, Thunder Basin, and Karma Fire Burning Lake.

A slight misstep could lead to death while navigating through these treacherous places.

A thousand years ago, the Righteous Sects of the Jiuzhou Continent had sent masters to siege the lair of the Demon Sect, suffering heavy losses and returning defeated.

Although every member of the Demon Sect deserved to be executed, it was not so easy for the disciples of the Demon Sect to simply walk out of their lair.

Generally, only those martial experts who had reached or surpassed the Martial Emperor Realm could walk out of the Demon Sect's lair to Jiuzhou Continent.

The Blood Demon Palace is an important branch of the Demon Sect, and its strength within the Demon Sect is rather substantial.

After Duan Gujin learned the truth, he took a deep breath.

"So, someone from the Blood Demon Palace has already infiltrated the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect!"

He believed that even if he shared this intelligence, the elders of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect would not believe him.

Moreover, a master from the Blood Demon Palace had now infiltrated the ranks of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.

And, he deduced, the infiltrating master from the Blood Demon Palace held a high position within the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.

"What should I do now? I can't just stay by his side all the time!"

Duan Gujin exhaled, aware that time was pressing, and he must quickly eliminate more skeletons here.

He delved into his Divine Sense to check the Recording Name Plate and gasped when he saw the time displayed.

"Darn it! Only an hour left!"

He exhaled, eyes widened, and scanned the surroundings.

A moment later, he found a skeleton and with a flash of his body, turned into a beam of light, quickly pouncing towards the skeleton.

After delivering two Void Palms, he finally killed the skeleton before him.

He looked at the fallen assassin, a young man of thirty-one years, Eighth Level of Martial Emperor, with a handsome appearance, completely lacking any ferocious expression on his face.

Had he not forcibly read the memory of that assassin before, Duan Gujin would never have believed that this young man was an assassin from the Blood Demon Palace.

Duan Gujin pondered for a while, immediately searching the assassin's belongings.

Although he found some Spiritual Medicine and Dark Weapons on the assassin, he dared not use them, fearing they might be part of the ploy by that master infiltrated within the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.

He discarded the Spiritual Medicine and Dark Weapons onto the ground, then helped the assassin to activate the Teleportation Plate.

After ten breaths, a strong Transmission Energy enveloped the assassin's body.

Shortly thereafter, the Transmission Energy teleported the assassin's body away.

Seeing the assassin transmitted away, Duan Gujin sighed with relief.

Right before that, he had already shattered the assassin's Divine Soul, rendering him a fool.

He knew he was in a dangerous land where mercy held no meaning.

He sighed, continued searching for skeletons nearby, and proceeded to eliminate them with utmost speed.

In a secret room within the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, a powerful Transmission Energy appeared and then transmitted the Divine Soul-shattered assassin into that secret room.

Outside that secret room, a disciple of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect on guard saw the assassin covered in blood and with a broken right leg, instantly rushed forward to inspect the assassin's injuries.

After a while, that disciple of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect realized that the assassin's Divine Soul had been shattered and that forcibly reading his memory was now impossible.

The disciple immediately reported this news to an elder of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, who upon hearing it, ordered the disciple to dissolve the assassin's corpse, leaving no trace behind.

The disciple immediately followed the elder's order, melting the corpse into a mass of blood and flesh, and threw the assassin's bones off a cliff.

The elder of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect then frowned deeply, unable to comprehend why the Martial Emperor Eighth Level assassin he had sent out had died so miserably.

"I hope that assassin didn't expose my identity! I am always very cautious with my actions; logically, that assassin shouldn't have known who I am!"
