Chapter 1501: Chapter 351_4
They don’t want to fail either.
However, if they fail three times, the You Sha Society will cease further attempts, and within a millennium, they won’t accept any more contracts to assassinate this person.
As for the money spent by the one who placed the contract?
Once the money reaches the You Sha Society, there’s no talk of refunds.
In fact, after the first failed attempt, the You Sha Society will assess the reasons for failure, and if they feel the target’s strength far exceeds estimated, they might even increase the price.
If you don’t continue to pay, then sorry, we will no longer pursue the assassination.
Initially, the slogan of the You Sha Society was that once a contract was accepted, it must be completed, and after one failure, they would pursue non-stop.
Later, they pursued a prodigy of the Yin Yang Sect, and after three consecutive failures, that prodigy also became wise and hid within the Yin Yang Sect.
Then when that prodigy went out again, he even set a trap along with others, counter-killing members of the You Sha Society, inflicting great losses on them.
Later on, that prodigy of the Yin Yang Sect experienced a tremendous fortunate encounter, reached the state where Yin and Yang merge, and further advanced, now becoming the Supreme Elder of the Yin Yang Sect!
There are probably not many in the entire Eastern Province who can rival him, let alone his identity as a Supreme Elder of the Yin Yang Sect. Continuing to assassinate him would provoke the entire Yin Yang Sect to fight desperately against the You Sha Society.
It was because of this event that the You Sha Society wanted to change their rules, and in general, they no longer accepted tasks to assassinate geniuses of the Great Teachings.
But the You Sha Society completely changed their rules because of another incident.
Subsequently, they pursued a loose cultivator. This loose cultivator wasn’t particularly strong and didn’t have any powerful backers, but he possessed an extremely special mask treasure. When worn, it could completely conceal his aura, change his appearance, and even alter the appearance of the Immortal Mountain. If he didn’t use spells, it was impossible to identify his identity.
After the You Sha Society attempted to assassinate him twice, he realized they were after him and simply wore the mask and stayed hidden.
No matter how strong the You Sha Society is, they still have to find their target to act, and how can they kill someone they can’t find?
That task remained uncompleted for a long time.
Since then, the You Sha Society finally changed their rules, deciding to pursue a target only three times and cease any tasks against them for a millennium after three failures.
“So, I’ve been pursued once; there are still two more attempts,” Cao Zhen felt somewhat displeased, feeling uneasy knowing someone is constantly plotting against him.
In this way, he still couldn’t expose all his cards.
This time, the six assassins from the You Sha Society seemed to be taken out quite easily. However, the premise was that they were discovered, and the You Sha Society’s people seemed to wait for the Void Breaking Sect’s move before acting. Only the Void Breaking Sect’s departure for unknown reasons disrupted their plan.
If Wan Ren Di hadn’t found them, and the Void Breaking Sect hadn’t left, these people could have possibly succeeded by launching a sudden attack during their confrontation with the Void Breaking Sect.
After all, these were six Earth Immortal Realm individuals.
Therefore, he had to keep some cards hidden.
After today’s battle, the card he still kept hidden was the Prosperous Age Picture Record!
The Prosperous Age Picture Record is an offensive treasure, not a defensive one.
After refining treasures for the disciples and modifying the Hundred Peaks Sect’s formation, he also had to refine a defensive treasure.
Currently, he had no other choice; unable to find the You Sha Society, he had to strengthen his own defenses first.
The You Sha Society has established branch locations in many places to accept tasks or allow individuals to apply to join, but there is no branch in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Previously, during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the You Sha Society also entered the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and tried to establish a branch, but they were refused by Cao Zhen.
In fact, it’s not only the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty; many areas controlled by the Great Teachings are discontent with the You Sha Society and prohibit them from entering, such as regions controlled by the Yin Yang Demonic Sect, where there is no branch of the You Sha Society either.
But these are mere branches; no one knows where the main headquarters of the You Sha Society is.
If one day the headquarters of the You Sha Society is exposed, they will be close to destruction.
Over the years, the You Sha Society has killed countless people, offending numerous factions.
The Void Breaking Sect’s people have already left, and Cao Zhen’s group can’t guard the mountain gate indefinitely. After dealing with the corpses of the six dead assassins, they only left a few from the Earth Immortal Realm to guard, while the rest went on with their duties.
Cao Zhen originally intended to refine a treasure for Yan Yourong, but after this incident, he decided to set up the Great Formation first. Setting up the Mountain Protection Array of the Hundred Peaks Sect requires a lot of resources, so he started with the Golden Light Array.
Void Breaking Sect.
The people of the three major Demonic Sects, after moving all resources from the Void Breaking Sect and dismantling all Great Formations, took away what they could and deliberately destroyed the mountains and Cave Mansions of the Void Breaking Sect before leaving.
Their cooperation this time was very successful, and after realizing they couldn’t withstand the forces of the Demonic Sects, the Void Breaking Sect chose to flee instead of holding on to a losing battle.
