Chapter 1504: Chapter 352
In the Eastern Province, many factions have attempted to find Kill Society. Some sent people to join Kill Society, hoping to slowly infiltrate the higher ranks, but they all failed.
Although the assassins of Kill Society are divided by rank, even the top elite assassins don’t know where Kill Society is located. Apart from the high price of their killings and taking on any task, they are no different from ordinary assassins.
Others tried to locate Kill Society through the persons collecting the payments. After all, Kill Society charges for killings; one has to collect the money somehow.
As it turned out, people discovered Kill Society collects payment directly using treasures. They send a beam of light to retrieve the valuables from a distance.
The Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is special, yet, for some reason, the treasure of Kill Society can still be used. This has puzzled everyone since, under normal circumstances, the power required for such remote collection would definitely exceed the Golden Core Period Limit.
Ultimately, every faction in the Eastern Province tried all methods, but none were able to locate Kill Society.
After obtaining the talisman, Yan Yourong quickly departed, returning to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Within Hundred Peaks Sect, Cao Zhen had been modifying treasures for a while, and only after finishing improvements for all the disciples’ treasures did he take a brief rest. Then he was surprised to find Yan Yourong was no longer at Hundred Peaks Sect.
“What did You Rong do? Does no one know?”
Cao Zhen was deeply curious, and with a thought, he connected to China Cloud. Soon, Yan Yourong’s figure appeared in his vision.
In a dense forest, Yan Yourong was engaged in battle with a cultivator he had never seen before.
This was You Rong pursuing an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. Why did You Rong want to kill this person? What grudge was there? Furthermore, why did You Rong not use the Five-thunder Righteous Method or the treasure he gave her, not even using that large seal? The sword she wielded was merely a treasure of Common Low Grade that she excavated from a living grave of an Earth Immortal Realm in the Heaven Prayers Sect.
In Cao Zhen’s vision, although Yan Yourong merely used a Common Low Grade treasure for a year and didn’t cast any powerful spells, she suppressed the opponent with just her sword technique.
As a beam of blade light flashed by, the strange Earth Immortal Realm cultivator fell to the ground.
Yan Yourong kept the opponent’s Qiankun Bag, but did not immediately leave. Instead, she took out the Grieving Anger Dragon Blade, which had already been upgraded to Yellow Level Upper Grade, and beheaded the opponent, placing the head into the Qiankun Bag.
Cao Zhen’s brows furrowed instantly. Killing is one thing, but why take the opponent’s head? There are only two reasons for taking someone’s head: one is to use the opponent’s head to honor predecessors, which clearly doesn’t apply as their sect’s grudges have been settled.
Then it must be the second reason: to collect money.
Just as Yan Yourong was about to leave, her master’s voice suddenly sounded in her mind: “You Rong, what are you doing? Shouldn’t you explain this to your teacher?”
Yan Yourong sighed inwardly at once; she was discovered by her master. She knew her master had special cultivation techniques, allowing him to investigate the disciples at any time. She just didn’t expect her master to accidentally see her killing someone.
Originally, she planned to quietly investigate by herself, hoping to conceal it for a while longer. But now, given that her master had already seen it, she had nothing to hide, so she honestly confessed, “Master, I joined Kill Society. However, rest assured, I won’t indiscriminately kill innocents; I’ll only kill those who deserve it.”
“Kill Society? You want to find out Kill Society’s location?” Cao Zhen immediately guessed Yan Yourong’s intention. After all, Kill Society had just assassinated him, and Yan Yourong joined Kill Society right after. Anyone could guess what Yan Yourong wanted to do with just a toe.
“Kill Society has been around for so many years without anyone finding their lair. Thinking you can locate it is a bit idealistic. Besides, killing is dangerous; if not done well, one could be killed in return.
Forget it, as your master, I know your personality well. Since you’ve joined Kill Society, all the persuasion will be in vain, and you won’t quit. So, hurry back, I’ll teach you some more spells, at least they’ll enhance your self-defense abilities a bit.”
Previously, it wasn’t that he refused to teach other spells to disciples. It’s mainly because they hadn’t mastered the Five-thunder Righteous Method yet; if he taught other spells, it wouldn’t make sense.
Xiang Ziyu, that young lad, could learn other spells, but he has been busy researching his own treasure lately, claiming he doesn’t have time to cultivate spells.
Nowadays, the disciples on Four Treasures Peak, apart from Wan Ren Di, have mostly cultivated the Five-thunder Righteous Method well, so the next batch of spells can be taught.
In the next few days, Cao Zhen found the disciples at Four Treasures Peak and began teaching spells.
Seven days later, Yan Yourong returned to Four Treasures Peak.
Seeing Yan Yourong, Cao Zhen immediately inquired, “What’s the situation with Kill Society?” He was also filled with curiosity about Kill Society.
“The assassins of Kill Society are divided into five levels: from highest to lowest they are Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, and Wu. After squeezing into Kill Society, the society determines an assassin’s level based on the cultivation base. I’m at Earth Immortal Realm, so I was assigned as a Ding-level assassin.”
Yan Yourong relayed her experiences: “After I arrived, they once had me await three days, saying that they’d bring the talisman and mask to me. During those three days, I lingered outside Kill Society’s branch, but never saw anyone enter or exit. After three days, the items appeared in Kill Society.
