It was said to be the highest because the target of this summon was all the assassins in the world. It was not limited to a sect, a sect, a gang, a association, or a hall. As long as one was an assassin, he or she had to obey the summon!
The reason why the summon had such a high authority was that it was the assassin's summon that had been set up by Sun Changkong, the Unrivaled Expert and Unrivaled Assassin in the past.
Sun Changkong had dominated the world back then, killing his way through the universe, suppressing all the heroes in the world into submission, not daring to defy him. It was also this person who had come up with the Dictum of Death in view of the endless killings in the martial world and the fact that the assassins were willing to sell their lives for money, unscrupulous and unscrupulous. Deep in his bones, it was to restrain the actions of the world's assassins.
Even after this person had passed away, the Dictum of Death was still revered by the world's assassins as a divine artifact; no one dared to violate it.
This Dictum of Death had always been enshrined by The Merciless Tower. This was also the root of The Merciless Tower's growth and its greatest source of confidence in disobeying the Concourse of the Underworld.
Now, the Dictum of Death had actually been activated?
Anyone with a bit of knowledge and insight who knew what this token represented could not help but feel a chill in their hearts as they looked at the Dictum of Death hovering in the sky.
"The Dictum of Death!"
Yun Yang lifted his head to look at the sky, a faint smile on his face. "It looks like Hen Bieli is really infuriated now. He can't hold it in anymore."
First Court King Qinguang chuckled coldly. "Hen Bieli thinks he can stay out of this and watch the fight from the sidelines. Isn't he the one who sent out the Dictum of Death for help now? What a slap to his own face!"
Yun Yang stood with his arms behind his back and said with a faint smile, "No one, no sect, can have the confidence to win when faced with the Four Seasons Tower's terrifying attack. The Concourse of the Underworld has already told everyone with reality. How would The Merciless Tower dare to try?"
"Still, I don't understand …" First Court King Qinguang scratched his head and said, "How did Sword, Snow, and Frost find The Merciless Tower? This … this doesn't make sense! "
"According to legend, the Hall of Crimson Blade's leader, Hong Zhan, and Hen Bieli are sworn brothers. They're very close, as close as brothers … Now that Hong Zhan has vanished without a trace, of course, Venerable Lord Sword, Snow, and Frost will have to look for Hen Bieli, who's most likely to know Hong Zhan's whereabouts …"
"Actually, even if the Four Seasons Tower did not make the first move, The Merciless Tower would have secretly joined the battle between Hong Zhan's Hall of Crimson Blade and the Four Seasons Tower."
"According to the information I received, Hong Zhan has already met up with Hen Bieli outside the city. This proves that the three Venerable Lords' decision to strike first and eliminate The Merciless Tower's combat power was a foresight."
Yun Yang smiled faintly.
First Court King Qinguang was hit with a sudden realization. "So that's how it is. This is a secret. Even the Concourse of the Underworld has no prior knowledge of this."
Before he finished, he had another question, "But how did Sword, Snow, and Frost know about this?" Is the Four Seasons Tower's intelligence network so vast? "
Yun Yang looked at him thoughtfully, a meaningful smile hanging on the corners of his lips as he said faintly, "That's not it … I was the one who revealed this information to them. They'll owe me a favor anyway. The more the merrier, isn't it?"
First Court King Qinguang was speechless.
The real culprit who stirred up the situation was sitting right in front of him.
"But how did you know? Intelligence that even the Concourse of the Underworld and the Four Seasons Tower don't know about should be considered top-secret information, right? "First Court King Qinguang asked after some time.
Yun Yang chuckled. "Of course I have my own information sources. I'm going against the Four Seasons Tower. Even if my combat power isn't as good as theirs, what's the point of fighting then?"
Ever since Shui Wuyin had integrated the Nine Supremes' intelligence network, Yun Yang had learned too many of the world's secrets!
Especially now that these assassins were all inside and outside of Tiantang City, in Shui Wuyin's base camp. If he could not even find out about this, Shui Wuyin might as well kill himself.
"Once this Dictum of Death is released, the world's assassins will definitely gather here!" First Court King Qinguang's eyes were burning with passion. "That's the holy relic in the hearts of the world's assassins! Since the beginning of time, there hasn't been a second person other than Sun Changkong who could have such an achievement! "
"The Unrivaled Assassin in the world! The Unrivaled Expert in the world! "
"To be able to dedicate one's life as an assassin under the Dictum of Death is the dream of us assassins!"
"The appearance of the Dictum of Death is also what the world's assassins want to see!"
"Once the Dictum of Death is out, the martial world will submit! This isn't just for show! "
"How many assassins do you think The Merciless Tower can gather with the Dictum of Death this time?" Yun Yang asked slowly.
"A conservative estimate …" First Court King Qinguang calculated in his mind and said, "Ten thousand people – this number is definitely there. Besides, these are only assassins in the heaven realm. The actual number of people who will come will only be more! "
"The Dictum of Death may not be too attractive to the assassins who have established their own sects, but to the lone assassins, especially the famous ones, it holds a sacred meaning! Sun Changkong had always been a loner back then, roaming the world alone … "
"Ten thousand people? Ten thousand heaven realm cultivators? King Qinguang, aren't you exaggerating a little too much? "Yun Yang asked in surprise.
It was not that Yun Yang was a coward, but the number that King Qinguang had reported was a little too exaggerated. Yun Yang's friends and enemies had long surpassed the limit of the heaven realm, but a heaven realm cultivator was still a pinnacle level in this world. In the eyes of ordinary people, the most powerful person in this world was only a Tenth Perfection grandmaster.
The heaven realm, on the other hand, was a legendary level that was a step further than Tenth Perfection!
Liang Yunqi, the Dragon of Clouds who had lost his life in the Residence of Nine Supremes, was only a Tenth Perfection but he was already a legend in the Empire of Dayuan. Now, King Qinguang was talking about ten thousand heaven realm assassins. Was this not a joke?
"Heh, Young Master Yun's knowledge is too limited. There are many capable people in the martial world. The more famous one is, the more capable he is. The number of expert assassins scattered in the martial world is even more uncountable! Once this Dictum of Death is announced, it will sweep through the martial world like a hurricane! As long as there's enough time, even those assassins who are far away in the snowy plains, endless deserts, and endless oceans will rush over! "
"This is the power of the Dictum of Death, or rather, its beauty. The ten thousand I mentioned is really the most conservative estimate. It's also limited to the number of people who can be gathered within seven days. As for how many can be gathered after a longer period of time, it's impossible to estimate."
Ten thousand heaven realm assassins was only a conservative estimate.
The final number of people who would be gathered could not be estimated!
Yun Yang was shocked once more, but he was immediately overjoyed. This was good news!
If all these people were to go against the Four Seasons Tower …
Tsk tsk, just thinking about it made him excited!
"Then, the Four Seasons Tower's strength in Tiantang City is insufficient. It's far from enough," Yun Yang said quietly.
"That's right. As long as these assassins can contribute once, the Four Seasons Tower's current manpower won't be able to withstand a single blow. "
First Court King Qinguang said rather delightedly, "Not to mention that there are many nameless mysterious assassins in the martial world whose cultivation base is terrifyingly high … Any one of them would be enough to wipe out Venerable Lords Sword, Snow, and Frost!"
Yun Yang thought about it quietly and said, "That won't do either. The imbalance of strength between both sides is detrimental to the subsequent plans."
"Also, it's far from the point where the Hall of Crimson Blade and The Merciless Tower are at their wits' end. Why would The Merciless Tower's Hen Bieli release the Dictum of Death at this time? I'm afraid there's more to it than meets the eye. "
Yun Yang looked at First Court King Qinguang.
First Court King Qinguang chuckled humorlessly. "There's more to it than meets the eye. The Concourse of the Underworld is now crippled. I guess Hen Bieli has long thought of using the Dictum of Death to command the world's assassins …"
"He's probably waiting for the right time. Once the time is ripe and the Dictum of Death is released, as long as one-tenth of the assassins who hear the news join The Merciless Tower, The Merciless Tower will be the top assassin sect of all time. Besides, there's no need to worry about the Concourse of the Underworld's suppression now … "
"Now that the Four Seasons Tower has struck, it's considered as giving Hen Bieli a more unique excuse!"
"I see. I didn't expect there to be such a deeper meaning to this."
Yun Yang frowned and said, "I'm going out for a while."
First Court King Qinguang asked sensitively, "You're going to look for Sword, Snow, and Frost?"
Yun Yang replied, "Of course, it won't do if we're annihilated so easily. The enemy of my enemy isn't necessarily my friend. It could be an accomplice or a troublemaker."
"Tipping off the enemy is still the least of my loyalty as a martial world person."
Yun Yang said with a righteous expression.
Yun Yang left, amidst King Qinguang's pained expression.
