The Ghost Killer elder lying on the ground, his pupils contracted sharply. He never expected that this young man before him had actually guessed his true identity!
Although the name Ghost Killer was famous in the assassin world, very few people knew his true identity. Those who had seen Ghost Killer in action were already dead!
"You... how did you know?" Ghost Killer said, lying on the ground, his breath faint.
"Since you are a dying man, there's no harm in telling you!
My teacher has a nickname, and his nickname is King of Assassins!
Also, my teacher has an organization under him called Heavenly Dao!"
"Heavenly Dao! Heavenly Dao has a cycle of retribution, Heaven spares no one!
So you are actually from Heavenly Dao, and you are a student of the King of Assassins!
I lost fairly! Well, I am inferior to you, and I accept my death at your hands. But before I die, I want to know how you discovered me?"
"Don't you know that as an assassin, you shouldn't talk too much, otherwise, you won't even know how you died!"
Ling Tian said, he directly summoned the Soul Refining Furnace. The lid of the Soul Refining Furnace was opened, and Ling Tian pierced Ghost Killer's throat with his sword. His soul was directly sucked into the Soul Refining Furnace. Then, the furnace lid was closed, and the Soul Refining Furnace began to work, refining Ghost Killer's soul!
Then Ling Tian bent down and picked up the slender short sword from the pile of paint.
Ling Tian condensed his fire-attribute true qi into this short sword, and flames instantly ignited on the short sword. The paint stained on the sword body was instantly burned away.
Ling Tian flicked the slender short sword with his finger, and the short sword made a crisp sound. Ling Tian was also very satisfied with this weapon. This weapon was truly excellent for an assassin. It could easily pierce through a body, and even if it hit bone, as long as a little internal force was injected into it, it could pierce through the bone!
With a thought, Ling Tian put the short sword into his spiritual realm space. He did not linger at the scene, but headed towards the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, dozens of disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were ambushed by Ling Tian. Ling Tian used all the skills he had learned from the King of Assassins, Xiang Wentian.
Meanwhile, Yulia, Pang Zongheng, and Shi Jiu had already arrived at the stone platform that the merfolk had forced prisoners to build.
Although the entire building was severely damaged, having experienced shelling and then being bombed again by Ah Li with a magic core bomb, the entire base still stood there.
There were even bloodstains and some residual remains on the base, which clearly indicated that a very fierce battle had taken place here!
Pang Zongheng dismounted from the slide, took out a compass from his Qiankun bag, and then began to pace on the platform, occasionally looking at the compass.
After a while, he straightened up.
Yulia quickly went over.
"Elder Pang, have you figured out this formation?"
Pang Zongheng narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard.
"Yulia, this island-protecting grand formation is not simple, but those merfolk are quite formidable. The place they chose, which is the platform beneath our feet, happens to be the weakest point of this island-protecting grand formation's energy.
I guess their purpose in building this structure was to set up a formation here, and then use the power of this new formation to forcibly counter the island-protecting formation, consuming its energy."
"Then is their method feasible?" Yulia asked curiously.
"Theoretically, it makes sense, but this counter-formation must be extremely powerful." Pang Zongheng explained without reservation. In his opinion, these were just theoretical principles, and even if these principles were told to others, they wouldn't be able to break it.
"The old man talks too much. Just tell me if you can solve it!" Shi Jiu said unceremoniously from the side.
Pang Zongheng rolled his eyes at him, "You layman don't understand anything, so shut your mouth!"
Shi Jiu didn't speak and turned to the side. Yulia continued, "Elder, what are you going to do?"
"Since there are existing conditions, there's no harm in borrowing them.
I plan to set up a formation here, but instead of simply countering the formation, I will use this formation to create a passage in this island-protecting grand formation."
"I see, you are indeed an expert." Yulia flattered him subtly. This flattery made the old man feel very comfortable.
"However, achieving this is not easy and requires a lot of energy.
Yulia, I will start setting up the formation now. You go find our people and have them transport all the corpses here. I need to access the power of the bone formation.
If possible, try to capture the other people on the island alive. Freshly killed people contain more energy, making the materials more useful."
"Okay, I'll go up right away!"
Yulia said, turning to look at Shi Jiu, "Ninth Master, Pang Lao's safety is entrusted to you.
This operation is of great significance to our Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Alliance Leader attaches great importance to it..."
"Yulia, I'm not a child. I know how important this matter is!
Don't worry, I won't let this old man have any trouble. Even if he dies, it will be after the mission is completed!"
After Shi Jiu finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate. He had absorbed a large amount of raw souls in the past few days. Although those things could bring him a lot of energy, he had to refine them with effort, otherwise, this energy would only burden his body.
Yulia shook her head with a wry smile. Although her status in the Heavenly Demon Sect was not ordinary, the most basic rule in the Heavenly Demon Sect was the survival of the fittest, the strong ruled!
These two old men were too strong, so they didn't need to give Yulia face. Of course, Yulia was tactful and wouldn't take it to heart.
Yulia descended the platform and used her qinggong. She stepped on the beach with her toes, and her figure shot out more than ten meters. Her graceful posture was like a butterfly flitting through flowers.
Along the way, Yulia found many corpses. These were the corpses of adventurers.
Yulia didn't pay attention at first. The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect killed people as a matter of course, so she didn't care about seeing these corpses.
But soon, Yulia felt something was wrong. The corpses were getting more and more numerous, but she still couldn't find any disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"Where the hell did these scoundrels go!"
Yulia cursed inwardly. This woman actually wanted to find a few subordinates from the Heavenly Demon Sect to pass on this task.
As a leader, one must have the ability to delegate. Only a fool would do everything personally.
However, Yulia ran for more than 20 minutes, covering more than ten kilometers, and still couldn't find a single disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
