The Ghostface Sect was an organization that had existed for over 10,000 years, their influence reaching every nook and corner of this Bloodsin City. They would be the first to find out about anything happening in the city. Although they were not included among the city's five strongest organizations, not one organization wanted to be their enemy. After all, there was more to the Ghostface Sect than meets the eyes. They had a terrifying acc.u.mulation of strength.
Presently, in the Ghostface Sect's main hall, Lady Shura was kneeling respectfully before a man with a green ghostface mask. She was reporting to him everything that had happened in the city recently. A majority of her report pertained to a young man called Xiang Shaoyun.
After listening to the entire report, the eyes of Green Ghost lit up as he muttered, ”Fighting Emperors with the cultivation level of seventh-stage Skysoar Realm, causing even the Four Great Ancient Academies to fight over him. Ultimately, he chose the Dragon Phoenix Academy, becoming a recruit-disciple. Yesterday, right after returning from the Devil Domain, he took over the Skeleton Gang and destroyed the Noxious Blood Gang. The governor, Tang Zhan, and his son Tang Longfei had personally met him as well. Now, he has vanished after entering the slum.” He sighed and continued, ”This kid definitely has an extraordinary background. There is no doubt that he is Lord Xiang Dingtian's descendant. But where is my master? Could it be that this kid has the guts to lie to me?”
”Sect master, this subordinate still has something else to report,” said Lady Shura.
”Go on,” said Green Ghost.
”Recently, many Rat a.s.sa.s.sins members have appeared in the city, all of them here for Young Master Xiang,” said Lady Shura.
”Rat a.s.sa.s.sins? Exterminate them like the pests that they are, then,” said Green Ghost indifferently.
...
At a certain chaotic slum in the city, over 10 people in crude attire gathered. All of them had reserved auras, not leaking even a tiny bit out of their bodies. At a glance, they looked the same as the commoners in the slum. One would generally not pay much attention to them.
In truth, these were all members of the renowned Rat a.s.sa.s.sins. Most of the time, they operated independently. Today, they had all gathered here upon receiving an emergency notice. None of them were weaker than the Emperor Realm, and there were even Sovereigns in their ranks.
From the members gathered here, the prowess of the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins was evident. They specialized in killing for wealth and rarely failed. This time, a seemingly simple mission to kill a King had actually caused them repeated losses. It was an insult to their reputation.
After waiting for a bit, one person noiselessly appeared among the group. The newcomer had a bald head and did not seem older than 30. Not only was he young, he also had an incredibly handsome face. One could say that he was a pretty monk.
If Xiang Shaoyun was here, he would be able to recognize that this person was Huo Xudong. The group of a.s.sa.s.sins revealed a look of respect when they saw Huo Xudong, but they remained silent.
”The client has increased the bounty for us to finish off Xiang Shaoyun as quickly as possible. He had vanished near this area today. Therefore, look for him and kill him at all costs. Otherwise, the reputation of our Rat a.s.sa.s.sins will suffer, and we will be punished by the sect master as a result. Understand?” said Huo Xudong solemnly. Everyone nodded, but not one of them spoke. It was as if they were a group of mutes.
”Alright, I won't bother saying anything unnecessary. Find him as quickly as possible but don't rashly make a move on him. He is someone with a nether prison devil puppet that has a Sovereign Realm's combat prowess. After you find him, notify everyone immediately. Work together to kill him instead,” said Huo Xudong.
