As a matter of fact, Ji Tao and the others were startled once the competition started.
Each Soul Formation Cultivator led an assassination team and there were eight teams in total. They sneaked into the depths of the Grotto-heaven from all directions, along the mountains, bases and fortresses of the branches.
However, every time they entered a base or fortress, they would find that there was no one there. The cultivators there had already been killed by Jiang Tian.
"The Book Pavilion has been destroyed!"
An old Divine Assassin entered the base and scanned with his Immortal Will. He immediately used a Communication Dharma Artifact and said.
Such a Communication Dharma Artifact was left behind in the ancient times and was even more subtle than Immortal Will. Not even a Soul Formation Overlord could detect it. Every assassin in the world was equipped with one.
"Everyone in the base of the Artifact Refining Hall is gone!"
Another old Assassin in a black outfit also exclaimed.
"The Sword Testing Peak has been destroyed!"
"The Artifact Refining Hall has been destroyed!"
"All Nascent Soul Cultivators above the Zuo Wang Peak have been killed! The enemy hasn't noticed! "
Messages came in from all directions.
"That's terrifying!"
Everyone was stunned and disbelief was written all over their faces.
Ji Tao had already invaded an empty base. After receiving the news, cold sweat rolled down his face like a waterfall.
Jiang Taichu's assassination skills were too powerful.
Those bases were a few hundred miles away from each other and they occupied different locations. Some were even facing each other.
However, Jiang Tian alone was equivalent to having countless clones. He was like an army of thousands of men and horses. All of these strongholds were wiped out by him without a sound, and no one noticed.
"Did Kang Tae-chu cheat? Is someone helping him? "
Ji Yusha couldn't believe it.
It was extremely difficult to assassinate someone without being noticed.
Nascent Soul Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators could self-destruct and once they did, the world would be shaken.
Even if they couldn't, their Divine Souls would be destroyed and their Golden Cores or Nascent Souls taken away. However, once their Divine Souls were destroyed, their Soul Tablets would still send messages.
If the Assassin Dynasty wanted to carry out continuous assassinations, they had to use an ancient Dharma Artifact or a replica that specialized in capturing Golden Cores and Nascent Souls. Otherwise, they would be discovered and they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
But even so, the chances of success were still extremely low. Usually, it would only take three to five people before it was exposed.
"No!"
Ji Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly. "We've set up a base outside. If someone invades, we'll know!"
"Then aren't we going to lose?"
Ji Yusha's beautiful eyes widened, unwilling to accept this. She didn't know why, but she just didn't like Jiang Tian.
If they submitted to Jiang Tian, they would have to hand over the great dynasty of the human world to him. If they listened to Jiang Tian's orders and spoke humbly, they would be even more displeased.
Ji Tao flipped open a jade slip. With a flash of light, a map of the Water Moon Heavenly Abode appeared before everyone's eyes.
Pa pa pa!
Ji Tao waved his hand.
The strongholds that Jiang Tian had destroyed had all become flickering red dots on the map. Everyone frowned and looked carefully.
"The Grand Primordium Senior swept the stronghold from the outside to the inside in a circular manner, layer by layer, plowing the courtyard and sweeping the acupoints, pushing towards the central hall."
Ji Tianlan glanced at the red dots on the map and complimented from the bottom of her heart.
"Using this method, no one escapes. Also, it can avoid being discovered by the neighboring strongholds."
In fact, this was also the situation of the strongholds of the Water Moon Heavenly Abode.
With the central hall as the core and the mountains as the strongholds, they cooperated with each other and formed many blockades. The blockades formed many layers of defense.
"Indeed. According to our calculations, Kang Tae-chu has probably killed one-third of the Nascent Soul Cultivators. "
Ji Tao's expression was grave as he stared fixedly at the map. "Our chances of winning are next to none!"
"Our assassination speed is not as fast as Kang Tae-chu's. The only thing we can do now is to bypass the blockade and head straight for the Central Great Hall, going deep into the hinterland. "
Ji Yusha hurriedly said.
"Otherwise, we won't even be able to get anything if we follow Kang Tae-chu. We can only watch him kill everyone and give the dynasty of the human world to someone else!"
"No, we can't. Once we're discovered, we'll be surrounded. This, this is too risky! "Ji Tianlan was startled and immediately tried to persuade him.
"Don't panic. Let me think!" Ji Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was having a fierce struggle in his mind.
As the King of Assassins, Ji Tao had seen all kinds of situations, but he had never been as nervous as he was today.
This was indeed risky, but if they didn't do it, they would lose to Kang Tae-chu.
"Father, what are you thinking about? We're not afraid even if we're discovered. After all, all our Soul Formation Grand Cultivators are here. We might not lose to the Water Moon Heavenly Abode even if we fight them face to face! "
Ji Yusha was full of arrogance, but then she was a bit worried and said,
"But if we lose to Kang Tae-chu in the assassination competition, we'll be doomed! We'll have to give up our ancestral inheritance to him and call him Heavenly Emperor in the future. We'll have to kneel down when we meet him. I feel so cowardly just thinking about it! "
"I'm afraid that's the only way!"
Ji Tao was convinced. He clenched his fists and said coldly,
"All assassins, listen to me. The eight assassination teams will form three teams. I'll lead the first one, Elder Zhao Sijing will lead the second and Elder Wang Hailing will lead the third. We'll break into the core of the Water Moon Heavenly Abode and get in front of Kang Tae-chu. But everyone, please be careful. We can't let the Water Moon Heavenly Abode discover us! "
"Yes!"
Hundreds of Nascent Soul Level assassins and eight Soul Formation Overlords from all directions answered after receiving the order.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
From time to time, they would hide their figures and auras. From time to time, they would transform into ferocious beasts and birds. Some of them would stay motionless against the mountain walls, and some would hide in the clouds and mist. They would quickly change their positions and form an assassination team. They would charge toward the core area in an orderly manner.
After passing through the areas that Jiang Tian had swept, they finally found living Nascent Soul Level cultivators in the strongholds and fortresses.
They immediately started a massacre. Like locusts passing through, they killed more than twenty people in a row.
But good things didn't last forever. The cultivators in the Water Moon Heavenly Abode weren't ordinary cultivators, nor were they good-for-nothings.
When they besieged the stronghold of the Long Stone Peak, a Half Soul Formation Cultivator there noticed their energy and immediately activated the Strangulation Array.
Under the attack of the Strangulation Array, Ji Tao and the others had to show up.
"Elder, we're under attack!"
The cultivators in the stronghold of the Long Stone Peak quickly sent messages and rushed out of the stronghold to fight against Ji Tao, another Soul Formation Elder and dozens of Nascent Soul Level assassins.
Once the battle started, wind blew, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Some cultivators died immediately. The hurried screams made people's hair stand on end.
"A dynasty of assassins has invaded the human world!"
"A battle has begun at the Long Stone Peak!"
"Emergency help!"
In a moment, all the strongholds were sending messages.
Clusters of Essence Qi rose from the strongholds and soared into the sky like smoke signals. They formed many Deity Words and flashed in the sky. Everyone could see them clearly.
"Kill!"
"How dare a dynasty of assassins offend the Water Moon Heavenly Abode? Do you want to die?"
Immediately, the cultivators of the Grotto-heaven Realm shouted angrily. They either rode on lights, flying swords, flying chariots or savage beasts, and charged towards Ji Tao and the others at lightning speed.
There were even giant crystal battleships in the sky, flashing and flying towards the Long Stone Peak. The army of cultivators surrounded Ji Tao and the others.
In the end.
Some cultivators even went to the strongholds to check, only to find that there was no one there. Almost two hundred Nascent Soul Level cultivators had been killed right under their noses.
"Master, elder! Oh no, the strongholds outside have been destroyed. The Book Pavilion, the Artifact Hall … Nascent Soul Level cultivators have all been killed! "
"The Soul Tablet of Shui Qijie, who's in the secret chamber of the Alchemy Hall, didn't respond. He might have been killed!"
They were shocked. That was an extremely heavy loss, so they quickly reported the news to the Central Grand Hall.
