77 First Tes (1/2)

The address that blood moon had given was for an old warehouse. When Bai Yun reached the meeting point, he found out that there were already many people in the warehouse, over four dozen. All of them were simply standing there, looking at the podium that was situated in the middle of the warehouse. Some of them were talking to each other while others were simply standing back.

All of the people here were wearing different clothes. Some were dressed similar to Bai Yun in a cloak and with masks. Some were dressed quite simply in a shirt and pants. Some were even wearing weird clothing he had never seen before. The only common feature was that everyone was wearing a mask. It was obvious. As members of an assassination organization, they did not want anyone to know who they were.

Bai Yun noticed that more than three quarters of these people had a blood moon symbol on their chest. These were the people who were from the inner sections of blood moon. They were also the ones who were standing in the center and chatting. All the outer section assassins were standing in various corners, not socializing with anyone. After all these people were being assassins for various reasons and did not want people to know of their true identity even more than the inner section children. And they also seemed to be taller, and thus older, than the inner section assassins who seemed to be mostly children.

And as for these outer section assassins, Bai Yun expected that at least half of them might be spies send from other major forces. There was no need, or way, to become an assassin when you were only at the qi condensation realm. You were simply too weak to kill any import characters. Especially in a place like Yellow City. The only reason for entering the blood moon so early was to make sure that you gained a lot of authority, in the outer section at least. Thus it was likely that at least some of these were spies. There might also be some others who have gained a legacy of assassination, or even people like Bai Yun, who were using this as a means to earn some money.

When Bai Yun entered the warehouse, he simply went and sat in a corner. He did not know anyone here and he did not want to draw any attention by acting out of the group.

A few minutes passed by when suddenly a man appeared at the podium in the center. It took a few seconds before everyone noticed him. When they did, all the noises in the room died down. The man who came was wearing a black robe and mask. He had long hair down to his shoulders, and only one arm. Where his left arm was supposed to be, his sleeve lay there freely.

As he stood there, Bai Yun felt an oppressive force surround him. The oppressive force wasn't a suppression of energy, but of killing intent. He knew that it was the one armed man testing the people here.

Slowly the killing intent that pressed on the group increased. Bai Yun was able to ignore the killing intent but it was not true for the other people here. If the test was a suppression of cultivation base, Bai Yun might have been in trouble, but this was only the suppression of killing intent. Even though he could not use it freely, Bai Yun's complete killing intent was higher than that of everyone in the whole world. Combined.

Bai Yun watched coolly as the killing intent pressed down on others at the warehouse. He felt that not a lot of these people would be able to survive the killing intent.

One by one the people here started trembling. As everyone was completely covered up, Bai Yun could not see the expressions of the people in the warehouse. But he did see a few eyes through holes in the masks from where he was standing. All of them some perspiration at the corner of their eyes.

A few minutes later, as the pressure slowly rose, one by one, people started to kneel. There were even someone who straight out laid down on the ground in fear.

While everyone else was trying their best to struggle and withstand the killing intent, Bai Yun was having the time of his life. His only regret was that he did not have any snacks to properly enjoy the show.

Just then Bai Yun glanced to his right. There a young man who was trembling while kneeling suddenly grabbed his head and screamed. He then started to roll on the ground and yell ”Don't Kill me! Please don't kill me!” over and over again. Just as he was about to bump into another person who was kneeling beside him, the one armed man flung his arm and a gust of wind picked him up and threw him out of the warehouse. Soon his screams disappeared in the wind. But everyone else was trapped in a hallucination created by the killing intent that permeated the warehouse. Only when someone's killing intent was much worse than the killing intent that they were under would they fall into a hallucination due to the killing intent.

Bai Yun nodded as he saw this. It seems this guy was unable to resist the hallucination and had succumbed to it. The test that the one armed man had put up was a simple test to resist the killing intent he was giving off. There was no cultivation pressure involved in this.

Just as Bai Yun turned to look at some others, a voice sounded out in his ears. ”Enjoying yourself, are we.”

Bai Yun turned to look at the source of the voice. It was the one armed man standing on the podium. He was staring at Bai Yun intently.

”It's not bad.” Ba Yun replied. ”Though the show is quite silent. And you should have provided some snacks while watching the entertainment.”

The one armed man stumbled when he heard Bai Yun's reply. He knew that Ba Yun was not affected by the killing intent, but he would have never thought he would have thought of the whole thing only as a show.

As Bai Yun stared at the one armed man, suddenly their eyes crossed each other. Then the one armed man snorted and a terrifying killing intent suddenly descended on Bai Yun. The one armed man was holding back and only used a small fraction of his killing intent to suppress the others in the warehouse. But he was incensed by the arrogance Bai Yun had shown and simply attacked him with every bit of his killing intent. He did not care if it would have any negative effects on Bai Yun.

Of course, the one armed man was not stupid. He knew that Bai Yun was dropped off by a peak soul step cultivator. So he did not lose his mind and add his cultivation to the suppressive force he send out at Bai un. Killing intent could be resisted as long as one had a formidable mind. But it was not possible to resist the cultivations suppressive force so easily. He had no desire to antagonize a peak soul step cultivator so easily for no reason.

But to Bai Yun even the increased killing intent was nothing. Anyone else who was here would have felt as if a legendary white tiger was roaring at them to kill themselves. But to Bai Yun, it only felt like the meowing of a cute little kitty.

Bai Yun chuckled and closed his eyes. He then took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. But now, all emotions have vanished from his eyes, only to be replaced by a great emptiness. As his eyes once again crossed that of the one armed man, a shade of red flashed through them for a moment.
