The Mission Hall of the Shadow Tower was divided into nine levels. If one wanted to enter the top level, they would need to have the appropriate authority.
Because, other than the Shadow Tower's own power, many of the assassins were hired from outside. In other words, anyone could become an assassin of the Shadow Tower. The relationship between them and the Shadow Tower was purely a cooperative one.
This was also the reason why the Shadow Tower was so powerful. Many people needed wealth, so they chose to become assassins to earn it. However, there was a flaw to this. Sometimes, the information of the mission would be leaked out. Although the possibility of this was small, it was still unavoidable. However, the Shadow Tower didn't seem to care. Since they dared to become an assassin, they naturally wouldn't be afraid of revenge.
Naturally, the Shadow Tower had another rule. They wouldn't accept missions to kill the direct descendants of the transcendent powers. As for the other missions, they would accept them.
The fifth level of the Mission Hall could only be accessed by 5-star assassins. This was a mission for those at the initial level of Heavenly Dipper. Those who could accept missions here were all extremely powerful characters.
Today, there was an additional mission on the fifth floor of the Mission Hall, which was quite eye-catching.
Qin Wentian, nineteen years old, from Chu, cultivation base at the third or fourth level of Yuanfu, a fourth-ranked Grandmaster. Protected by a second-level Heavenly Dipper female protector, as well as two fourth-ranked Puppets with combat prowess at the initial level of Heavenly Dipper. At the back of the mission, there was a portrait as well as the reward.
"This must be the youngest fourth-ranked Grandmaster in the Moon Continent. This is the first time I've seen someone at the Yuanfu Realm worth so much." A person wearing a mask said with a faint smile. Most of the people who came here would not show their faces to others. This way, when accepting a mission, if they killed someone with a background, it would not spread out and they would not be hunted down by the background of the person who killed them.
"What kind of hatred does this person have? Why would he pay such a huge price to kill a genius Grandmaster?" Many of the assassins were bewildered, but they didn't care too much. They were here to see if there were any suitable missions for them to accept.
"I'll accept this mission." A silhouette walked up and tore down the mission sheet. He stared at the portrait of Qin Wentian as though he was looking at a huge fortune.
"Tian Can, can the four of you do it?" Someone immediately knew his code name upon seeing the insignia in the silhouette's hands.
The assassin, Tian Can, was a group of four people, not just one. It was said that there were four master and disciples, a husband and wife with two disciples. They were all very ruthless and had killed many people.
"Killing someone with a cultivation base at most at the fourth level of Yuanfu? What's the big deal? This fortune is mine for sure." A look of disdain flashed in Tian Can's eyes. Behind him stood three people. Two of them laughed out loud, "Master, after this mission, we can buy a defensive armor for Master's wife."
"Yes, it's more than enough. At that time, I'll give each of you a fourth-ranked divine weapon." The hunchbacked figure grinned, as though he could already see the divine weapons in front of him.
After all, a Yuanfu cultivator was different from a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign. As long as he and his wife could delay the Heavenly Dipper Sovereign and the Puppet, his two disciples could easily kill Qin Wentian.
This mission would be difficult for other assassins to complete alone, but with the four of them working together, it was easy.
This time around, he would be able to earn a huge sum of money. He didn't know who would be so generous as to pay such a hefty price just to kill a Grandmaster with limitless potential.
...
Naturally, Qin Wentian didn't know that his name had already been written in the mission hall of the Shadow Pavilion. He also didn't know that the mission had already been accepted by someone else.
After returning to the White Deer Institute, he quietly waited for news from the Thousand-Jue Alliance while simultaneously cultivating one of the powerful innate techniques recorded in the ancient scroll of the Ascendant.
Qin Wentian's will seeped into the ancient scroll, and an extremely shocking scene appeared before his eyes.
A silhouette stood proudly in the air. About a hundred meters away from him, there was a terrifying ancient mountain peak. The silhouette pointed a finger forward, and the tip of his finger seemed to be cast from gold. Instantly, the entire Heavens and Earth turned golden, as the entire space was enveloped by the Mandate of Gold.
In the entire world, it was as though that finger was the only thing left in the world. Pointing at the mountain peak ahead, an endless amount of golden energy was gathered in that finger. The finger light streaked across and landed on the mountain peak. Cracking sounds rang out as the entire mountain peak was instantly turned into golden shards that scattered across the world.
"Heaven Breaking Finger, cultivate the Gold-Element Ancient Scroll, cultivate the Indestructible Golden Body, then cultivate this innate technique, breaking the heavens with a single finger."
This was the voice left behind by the innate technique, causing Qin Wentian to be extremely shocked. However, this voice also mentioned the Gold-Element Ancient Scroll that he had abandoned.
The more the other party mentioned it, the more suspicious Qin Wentian felt.
"I don't believe that if I don't cultivate the Gold-Element Ancient Scroll, I won't be able to cultivate the Heaven Breaking Finger." A sharp glint of light flashed in Qin Wentian's eyes. This Heaven Breaking Finger was most probably a Heaven-ranked innate technique. The stronger one's cultivation base was, the deeper their comprehension would be, and the more terrifying the might they could unleash.
With a single finger of the Gold-Element Ancient Scroll, an ancient mountain was shattered. The aura it exuded caused Qin Wentian's heart to tremble.
This was definitely the most powerful innate technique he had ever seen in his entire life.
The Heaven Breaking Finger didn't mention that one had to cultivate the Mandate of Gold. In that case, he could cultivate the Mandate of Demonic Energy.
The Mandate of Demonic Energy was tyrannical and tyrannical. The might it could unleash was equally terrifying.
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian closed his eyes and started to cultivate the tyrannical Heaven Breaking Finger Art.
After cultivating for a short period of time, Qin Wentian discovered that every time he activated the Heaven Breaking Finger Art, the amount of Astral Energy he had to expend was as vast as the ocean. If he used his Divine Energy to unleash the Heaven Breaking Finger Art, although the might of the attack would be stronger, it was unknown how much Astral Energy he would have to expend.
This caused Qin Wentian to sigh in admiration. Cultivation truly required resources. If he didn't have enough Yuan Meteor Stones, he wouldn't even be able to cultivate this innate technique. Just think about it, he couldn't possibly exhaust the Astral Energy from the Nine Heavenly Layers after exhausting the Astral Energy in his body. If he did that, he would waste too much time.
Without resources, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate. Hence, many ordinary people would choose to plunder and risk their lives.
Qin Wentian cultivated for a short period of time before entering his dreamscape once again. In his dreamscape, he could imagine to his heart's content as he pleased.
On the second day, the people from the Thousand-Jue Alliance arrived and delivered the items he wanted. After Qin Wentian paid them for the items, they immediately left, not disturbing Qin Wentian's cultivation.
Glancing at the items on the ground, a smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. He could finally attempt to break through to the second level of the Fiend Transformation Art.
Once he reached the second level of the Fiend Transformation Art, it would be much easier for him to cultivate the Heaven Breaking Finger Art.
For the next few days, a towering Demonic Qi could be sensed from the back mountain of the White Deer Institute. Many people turned their gazes in that direction as expressions of bewilderment could be seen on their faces. Why would the Demonic Qi be so intense?
Could it be that Qin Wentian's Astral Soul contained a powerful demonic beast Astral Soul? Was he cultivating a powerful demonic beast cultivation art or innate technique?
Although puzzled, no one disturbed Qin Wentian. Many people who were watching even saw the Shadow of the Demonic Beast rise into the void and then gradually disappear.
Three days later, Qin Wentian's entire body was enveloped by a terrifying demonic qi. His entire person resembled a fearsome demonic beast. Even for the most powerful demonic beasts, they wouldn't be able to match the intensity of his demonic qi.
"Ah …"
A low roar emanated from the demonic aura. The demonic aura in the void suddenly converged into a vortex and rushed madly into Qin Wentian's body. Very soon, the demonic figure gradually appeared in their line of sight. However, within his body, there seemed to be a terrifying demonic beast's life force. That exuberant, surging vitality made people's hearts tremble.
The Fiend Transformation Art allowed the cultivator to transform into a human. The cultivator would be able to combine the strengths of both humans and demons into a single body. The body of a human would possess the exuberant life force of a demon, a powerful physique, a terrifying fleshly body, and a terrifying explosive strength. The unique characteristics of demons would be imparted onto the cultivator.
At this moment, if there was someone else present, they would be able to clearly sense that the current Qin Wentian's vitality and the strength of his physique had already far surpassed those at the same level as him.
If it was purely based on physique, without the use of Astral Energy or innate techniques, he would be able to easily crush those at the same level as him. His physique was at the level of a demonic beast.
"The second level of the Fiend Transformation Art, completed." A smile appeared in Qin Wentian's eyes. Being able to cultivate the second level of the Fiend Transformation Art in such a short period of time definitely had something to do with the terrifying bloodline power in his body.
After completing the second level of the Fiend Transformation Art, Qin Wentian didn't leave. Instead, he continued to cultivate the Heaven Breaking Finger while waiting for news from the Thousand-Jue Alliance regarding Hua Xiaoyun.
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed. During these seven days, the Leng Clan had already given their reply. They had already reached a compromise, and their Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, Elder Leng Mao, had already been killed. It wasn't worth it for them to offend Qin Wentian for the sake of a few people. Not only that, they also heard that Qin Wentian had already become a guest elder of the Thousand-Jue Alliance. The Leng Clan didn't wish to offend Qin Wentian any further, and hence, they had no choice but to end this matter.
As for Hua Xiaoyun, he couldn't wait any longer. He made a trip to the Shadow Tower, and upon hearing that an assassin had already accepted the mission to kill Qin Wentian, and that the assassin had already arrived at the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent to set up an ambush, Hua Xiaoyun also left the Northern Region of the Moon Continent. He wanted to see how Qin Wentian would die.
What Hua Xiaoyun didn't know was that the moment he stepped into the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent, there were also people paying attention to him.
Qin Wentian finally received news of Hua Xiaoyun's whereabouts. Not only that, the Thousand-Jue Alliance had also informed him that Hua Xiaoyun had actually arrived at the Eastern Region.
This news caused Qin Wentian's eyes to flash with sharpness. This Hua Xiaoyun really came at the right time.
How could he kill Hua Xiaoyun without the Hua Clan knowing?
Qin Wentian understood that with the status of the Hua Clan, their intelligence network would definitely be extremely powerful. If he directly killed Hua Xiaoyun, it would be easily discovered. If he killed a descendant of the Hua Clan, it would be extremely difficult for him to remain in the Moon Continent any longer.
But no matter what, Hua Xiaoyun had to die.
Even if he had no other choice, he would still have to kill Hua Xiaoyun if he had to leave the Moon Continent.
Qin Wentian walked out of the White Deer Institute. He didn't bid farewell to anyone, nor did he tell Bailu Yi that he wanted to kill Hua Xiaoyun. He didn't want anyone else to be implicated in this matter.
