Even though they found it hard to believe, the assassins in the forest were not too surprised to see Xie Tian appear.
After all, the four people who died in the Dead Man's Cave more or less proved that Xie Tian was not as weak as he seemed.
Sensing that someone had suddenly appeared behind him, Xie Tian stopped in his tracks and turned around. His gaze moved from low to high before finally landing on the person's face.
"What's up?"
"Every assassin from the Nether Cave has their own code name." The assassin who appeared was a little puzzled as to why Xie Tian was looking at his feet, but he didn't care too much and asked coldly.
"Codename …" Xie Tian didn't think too much about it and said those three words as if it was a matter of course.
"Half a life?" The assassin murmured. This name sounded a bit pretentious, and he couldn't help but smile eerily. "Hai Ku Yun, Li Dong, Huo Du."
Xie Tian nodded and turned to leave.
"Hey."
"Anything else?"
"You killed the inauspicious material. You should have been ranked ninety-five among the Frost Level Elites in the Sea Cave, but this spot was taken by the wild wolf."
Xie Tian asked, "Wild wolves?"
Huo Du laughed darkly: "Worried Ghost Cave Wild Wolf, Hai Cave Frost Rank Elite 96."
"Oh."
Huo Du was slightly stunned when he saw Xie Tian leave.
Do you think it's over just because your spot was snatched?
After this exchange, even though everyone felt that this body cultivator was strange, they could tell from Xie Tian's attitude after his spot was snatched that the body cultivator was terrified by the wild wolf's forceful actions.
"Bang!" Wild Wolf smirked in disdain. "Tell him to keep being a coward. If the only disciple of Muye Cave dies in my hands, wouldn't I become a sinner of Muye Cave for ten thousand years?"
When he returned to Muye Cave, he could still hear the laughter from time to time.
Xie Tian ignored him and returned to Mu Ye.
"I've finished reading the contents of the jade talisman."
Mu Ye couldn't be bothered to open his eyes. He was already satisfied that this disciple of his could return to Muye Cave alive.
As for whether he had embarrassed Mu Yedong or not, he didn't think it was necessary to say anything, because if he did, he would definitely be embarrassed.
"Look for it yourself. There are many jade talismans on the ground."
Xie Tian didn't care about this kind of attitude. He bent down and carefully rummaged through the garbage.
As he picked them up, he felt that no matter what the other party's attitude towards imparting skills was, he still had to have a proper attitude towards learning.
As such, he also began to clean up the garbage that had almost buried Mu Ye.
Six hours later, Xie Tian finally separated the jade talisman from the trash and dug Mu Ye out from the pile of trash.
He examined the pile of trash one more time to make sure there were no jade talismans left behind. With a sweep of his right hand, he collected all the trash into his storage pouch, then bowed to Mu Ye and left.
"It took a month to finish reading the first jade talisman. How disappointing."
Even Mu Ye himself didn't know why he'd said those words at the end.
Xie Tian thought about it and replied, "I will try my best."
"Work hard? Crack crack, crack crack crack crack … "
The mocking laughter rang out again, sending off Xie Tian, who was full of harvest.
Looking at the empty space around him, Mu Ye's mocking laughter stopped abruptly. A trace of anger and annoyance appeared on his scarred face.
He'd lived among trash for too long. He wasn't used to living without it.
"Trash! Do you only know how to clean up trash? That's not what I want! Not this! "
There were very few people who were as lucky as Xie Tian to obtain what he wanted.
Mu Ye didn't have one, and neither did Ling Dang.
Standing outside Vigilant Cloud Cave, Ling Dang could still hear Vigilant Cloud Cave's deputy cave master's rejection.
"Deputy Cave Master Yun Li, you're a coward!"
Ling Dang, who was usually as happy as Ling Dang, cursed madly. Then, she was blasted to the front of Troubled Ghost Cave by a faint murderous intent.
Inside Troubled Ghost Cave, a frost-level assassin had been ordered to wait.
Seeing the heavily injured Ling Dang raise her head with difficulty, the assassin smiled maliciously. "You have five breaths to kill us, and you'll become a disciple of Troubled Ghost Cave."
Ling Dang's throat trembled. She couldn't get the words out.
However, she knew that it was useless even if she asked, because there weren't just one person standing in front of her, but fifty.
She finally felt that she'd been too naive.
According to the rules of the Underworld Cave, although she had the right to choose a deputy cave master after passing the third cave's trial, she couldn't win against the person who made the rules.
After sitting in a daze for an hour, Ling Dang regained her mobility and silently left Troubled Ghost Cave.
She felt that there was no need for her to go to Steep Stream Cave, one of the four caves of Hai Cave. It would be a wasted trip. Her experience in Vigilant Cloud Cave and Troubled Ghost Cave had clearly been arranged by them.
"But where can I go now …"
Ling Dang walked on the road in a daze, not knowing where she should go.
When she saw the familiar path, she stopped and looked at the most dilapidated cave of Hai Cave's four caves.
"Maybe this cave is the only one willing to accept me …"
Ling Dang laughed. Her voice sounded like a broken bell, dry and unpleasant to the ears.
"It can accept me, but it's not worth keeping me …"
Just as she was about to accept the fate bestowed upon her by a powerhouse and walk toward the master of the twelve small swords, Ling Dang saw three Heaven-level slaughter slaves walking over.
"Here?"
"It … should be. Only Muye Cave fits the description of such a dilapidated cave …"
"Hey, this concerns our entire lives. Is it reliable?"
"Hmph, I only know that the body refiner killed the elite frost-level assassins, Ominous Talent, and that he failed the entrance examination and was taken in by Vice Cave Master Mu Ye. With these two points, we can definitely become frost-level assassins!"
"That's not what I meant. I mean, after entering Muye Cave, can we really only use traps in the future …"
…
After passing by the three, Ling Dang suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Ominous Talent …"
After staying in the Underworld Cave for two years, Ling Dang knew very well what this name meant.
Thus, she was very puzzled as to how Mu Ye had not tossed Ominous Talent's corpse out of the cave.
The next moment, she thought about how Xie Tian had disappeared after practicing the Three Steps in the Air. She seemed to understand something, but it also made her even more puzzled.
"That can't be. Could it be that he really wasn't acting?"
At this point, a guess appeared in her mind, and this guess was the answer to why Mu Ye had not tossed Xie Tian's corpse out of the cave.
"He used a trap technique to kill Xiong Cai and the other three …"
…
It wasn't until two screams rang out beside her that Ling Dang snapped out of her daze.
Of the three Sky-level slaves who had entered Muye Cave, one had succeeded, while the other two had failed.
Strangely enough, the two who had failed seemed to be overjoyed, while the one who had succeeded looked miserable.
"That's right. Even if he entered Muye Cave, what does it mean …"
Ling Dang smiled and turned to leave, but she stopped again.
This time, she stood there for a whole two hours.
During this time, she thought of a problem.
"After entering Muye Cave, I can only practice traps. My path of killing will be extremely difficult, but at least it means that I haven't given in …"
…
Mu Ye sighed as he looked at the Sky-level slave in front of him.
"It seems that I made the right decision to take in that piece of trash. At least he brought me another disciple …"
Mu Ye was quite satisfied with his second disciple, even if his aptitude was mediocre.
At least he wasn't like the body refiner who had to open the back door for him.
"You even helped the Old Man clean up the trash …"
Mu Ye was very satisfied with his second disciple. He didn't have a chance to look down on him just because of the pile of trash that had disappeared.
"Old Man, Mu Ye."
"Sky-level slave, An Xi, pays his respects to Vice Cave Master Mu Ye!"
"Your aptitude is passable. Go find your Eldest Senior Brother and get your jade talisman," Mu Ye said, then added something that he didn't say to Xie Tian. "If you have any questions, come find me."
"Yes, Master." An Xi bowed and then asked curiously, "Eldest Senior Brother …"
Mu Ye seemed to understand. "If you're not satisfied, you can be the Eldest Senior Brother yourself."
After sending off his second disciple, Mu Ye was so happy that he didn't know whether he should jump up and down.
Just as he was about to let out a hearty laugh to vent his joy, his bones suddenly stiffened.
The girl whom the master of the twelve swords valued so highly, the girl whom even he couldn't wait to recruit, was standing in front of him.
When Ling Dang took her first step forward, Mu Ye couldn't help but praise himself in excitement.
He felt that the best thing he had done in the past tens of thousands of years was to recruit that little body refiner into Muye Cave.
