Chapter 1536: Chapter 357_3
As for the rest, we don’t need to bother. This period won’t last long, in just a few years, the Earth Immortal of the Indestructible Period will awaken, and then we can naturally know his identity.
Also, hasn’t the mission to assassinate Cao Zhen, the sect leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect, always remained incomplete? Let him see the task involving Cao Zhen on the talisman and see if he will take it.”
After the previous assassination attempt on Cao Zhen failed, they also discovered that Cao Zhen’s strength was stronger than imagined and informed the people at the Treasure Pavilion that if they wished to continue the assassination attempt, they would need to pay more.
Of course, the people at Treasure Pavilion could choose not to pay more, but if they did, then no one would probably take the task to continue the assassination of Cao Zhen.
In cases like these, where the fee has already been charged, and after an assassination attempt, the demand for an increased fee occurs, this isn’t the first time it’s happened.
After all, it is unlikely that people will expose their trump cards for no reason.
Those who assassinate always have unknown means, and if those unknown means are many, the price of assassination will naturally be different.
In such situations, the price is always increased.
If because of this, you think the assassin society is too shady, then by all means, go kill someone yourself, don’t come to ask the assassin society.
Cao Zhen has worked as an assassin for a year now, and slowly, he discovered a pattern; at first, his avatar would view the talisman and see tasks around his vicinity.
However, as he killed more people, the tasks appearing on the talisman were no longer near his activity range, and moreover, most of the tasks offered by people were to deal with those of ill-repute.
Just like how a phone from the previous life would recommend items based on personal likes.
This is proper big data.
Except today, when his avatar checked the talisman, he was surprised to find a task to assassinate himself.
He looked at the task’s introduction about himself out of curiosity to see how the assassin society evaluated him.
“Cao Zhen: Sect Leader of Hundred Peaks Sect, reincarnated great ability, early Longevity Period, yet his combat strength can’t be judged by ordinary early Longevity Period standards, recommended for Longevity Period peak-level assassins to take the task, and multiple assassins are suggested.
He has numerous means, possessing a mid-grade Yellow Level treasure Silver Light Wings and an upper-grade Yellow Level treasure Orange Light Wings, and a common high-grade treasure Thunder Light Sword.
However, he is skilled in artifact refining and likely has other treasurers but has never showcased them before others.
Skilled in utilizing a lower profound grade Thunder System spell.
Other spells, unknown.
Excellent swordsmanship.
Reward: Two Yellow Level treasures, thirty thousand Immortal Stones.”
“That’s really stingy, only two Yellow Level treasures, and they didn’t even specify the grade, definitely Yellow Level low-grade treasures. This amount of bounty, who are they looking down on!”
Cao Zhen muttered sarcastically to himself as his gaze inadvertently shifted downwards, and suddenly, his eyes paused sharply; he saw a familiar name.
“Linghu Gudu: Early Longevity Period, Loose Cultivator. Uncertain movements, proficient in water system magic, possessing a Yellow Level low-grade treasure Water Gathering Pearl. Bounty reward: one common low-grade treasure.”
Cao Zhen checked carefully, ensuring it was indeed the Linghu Gudu he knew.
“What’s with this kid getting targeted too? This bounty for pursuing and avenging someone of his early Longevity Period level is quite high too. What did he do to get the assassin society to chase him down? The problem is, this kid is running all over the place; nobody knows where he’s gone, can’t even rescue him.”
Cao Zhen even suspected that Linghu Gudu’s bounty was so high precisely because he kept running around.
Moreover, the assassin society isn’t professional enough; normally they provide clues of the person to be assassinated, but now, they’ve failed to provide any clues!
Where am I supposed to find Linghu Gudu!
Cao Zhen sighed helplessly. Initially, he and Linghu Gudu embarked on exploring relics together, and that’s how they obtained the Prosperous Age Picture Record, and later, when the Hundred Peaks Sect faced danger, Linghu Gudu even went to the Hundred Peaks Sect for assistance.
He truly wants to save Linghu Gudu, but he doesn’t know where to go to rescue him.
Moreover…
Suddenly, whether it was his main body or his avatar, Cao Zhen simultaneously discovered the entire void violently shaking.
Above the void, sun, moon, and stars simultaneously emerged, and beams of solar, lunar, and stellar light gathered in the void and then flew toward the distance.
“What’s happening? A heavenly phenomenon, is there another peerless relic appearing?”
Cao Zhen stared blankly at the distance, but no matter how he looked, it didn’t feel like a peerless relic was appearing; it even felt more massive than the commotion made by a peerless relic!
But soon after, the void presented an image, that of an endless sea, abruptly the void kept fracturing, and then fracturing again, giving him the feeling that a world was appearing out of thin air.
Cracks emanated from the horizon continuously downward, extending everywhere above the sea, and these cracks gradually began to stabilize, viewed from afar they seemed like countless channels connecting with the void.
Cao Zhen counted one by one and discovered that these channels appear to number ninety-nine, some wide, some narrow.
“This scene, how it’s so reminiscent of the legendary dangerous places? Could it be, a new dangerous place has come into being!”
Having stayed in the Eastern Province for so long, he also came to know that there are three major dangerous places in the Eastern Province, each has ninety-nine channels, entering the dangerous place through different channels leads to different areas within the dangerous place.
