Bone Burial Steppes, one of the three major forces.
Xuan Ling Fortress belonged to the Xuanluo Immortal Kingdom in the Human Immortal Domain.
It was a sun-class sect in the Bone Burial Steppes' Sun, Moon, and Constellation system. Together with the other seven sun-class sects, it was part of the Immortal Domain.
Xuan Shuo was a famous playboy in Xuan Ling Fortress, whether it was in the eyes of the three major forces or in the eyes of the Underworld Cave.
Ling Dang did not know much about Xuan Shuo, but after she entered the Underworld Cave, she was told one thing.
"What is it?" Xie Tian asked after leaving the cave.
Ling Dang and An Xi looked at each other, then sighed. "Xuan Shuo was on the Underworld Cave's Frost List ten years ago, but it was revoked after only three days."
Xie Tian was puzzled. "What does this mean?"
"Third Master … Eldest Senior Brother, you really don't understand?" An Xi could not help but tremble. "There are only two ways for the Underworld Cave to revoke the list. First, the person is killed. Second, the person's name is revoked by the Underworld Cave's higher-ups."
Xie Tian's expression froze.
Xuan Shuo did not die, otherwise, he would not have been on the Frost List.
Therefore, Xuan Shuo must have the support of the Underworld Cave's higher-ups.
"The Underworld Cave is very powerful, and the Underworld Cave's killers have no scruples in accepting missions." Seeing that Xie Tian was not paying enough attention, Ling Dang threw out another bomb. "But for the Underworld Cave's killers, there is one kind of person they cannot provoke, and that is the person who disappeared from the list."
Xie Tian nodded and asked, "If this kind of person is so strong that the Underworld Cave's killers dare not provoke him, why is the disappeared Xuan Shuo on the list again?"
"Uh …"
Right, wasn't Xuan Shuo's name revoked by the Underworld Cave's higher-ups? Why was he on the list again?
Ling Dang and An Xi were stumped.
The Underworld Cave's twelve caves. Xie Tian entered Sea Cave, but the way out was not the way he came in. He did not see the gray trees that resembled Dao-Enlightening Supremes.
When he felt the aura of the Bone Burial Steppes, he knew that he had walked out of Sea Cave.
Turning his head back to take a look, Hai Ku had completely disappeared. Even if he used all his evil emotions, there was not a single trace left.
"How do we go back after we finish the mission?"
Hearing this, Ling Dang took out her killer token: "After completing the mission, the token will sense it and tell us how to return."
Xie Tian sighed ruefully in his heart, even though he had just learned that Sea Cave was ranked last among the Nether Cave's twelve caves.
Entering the Bone-burying Plains for the second time, Xie Tian carefully sensed the pressure of heaven and earth.
The Heaven Resisting Bracelet was still useful. Xie Tian glanced at the eighty-fourth slot and thought of his little sister.
The further they went, the more different the pressure of the Burying Blood Plains became from the Forsaken Land.
Xie Tian even felt a sense of familiarity, as if this familiarity was similar to the aura of the Three Thousand Worlds, but countless times stronger.
"This should be the unique pressure of the Human Immortal Realm …"
If not for the trip to the Rakshasa Purgatory, this unique pressure was something he should have faced, and it was something he had to challenge.
"Xuan Shuo, Xuan Ling Castle, Xuan family, Xuanluo Immortal Kingdom …"
For Xie Tian, he was more familiar with the Xuan family, one of the Eight Great Immortal Families of the Xuanluo Immortal Kingdom.
Even if he used his toes to think, he knew that Xuan Shuo, who dared to have the surname Xuan, must have come from this familiar place.
Not to mention Xuan Shuo's talent and combat strength, just this surname alone was enough to show that the difficulty of the assassination mission Xie Tian took was far higher than Ling Dang.
But he was not angry, and was instead somewhat happy.
This abnormality could only mean one thing — Miao Gu's death had made the master of the twelve small swords, or this person's subordinates, notice him.
His probing had successfully made the other party react.
"Come, let me know you, let me know you, let me understand you …"
Ever since Miao Gu died, Dark Practice had been in a mess.
Seeing that Xie Tian, who had accepted the mission to kill Xuan Shuo, was still in the mood to laugh, he became even more confused.
"Big … Senior Sister."
"Hmm?"
"I'm a little flustered …"
"It's normal, it's always like this on a first mission."
Actually, it wasn't a mission … Looking at Ling Dang's receding figure, Dark Practice sighed and caught up with the two.
Because of Mu Ye's instructions and the fact that the mission to kill Xuan Shuo had no time limit, Xie Tian didn't leave alone. He hadn't forgotten Mu Ye's promise to temporarily babysit.
Ling Dang giggled. "I'm relieved that you're here."
"Is the mission difficult?" Xie Tian asked as they walked.
"It's more than difficult …"
Ling Dang sighed and told him about the mission she had accepted.
"Moon-level sect Scarlet Castle, elite Rakshasa King Luo Tie …"
Xie Tian murmured. It was indeed much easier than his own mission.
"Don't underestimate Luo Tie." At the mention of Rakshasa, Rakshasa King Ling Dang's eyes flashed with a trace of tangible hatred. Her voice also turned cold. "Luo Tie's brother is an ominous star, Rakshasa."
Xie Tian had personally experienced how powerful Rakshasa was. "Viscount?"
"Baron." Ling Dang looked at Xie Tian speechlessly. "If I were a Viscount, I would rather be a slave for life than accept this mission."
"Indeed."
Since it was a Baron, Xie Tian felt a lot more at ease. After all, he had improved a lot since the Barren Hill of Nirvana several years ago.
If he fought without restraint, he could even use some immortal qi to perform divine abilities, not to mention that he had reached the seventh major realm of body refinement.
Seeing the seriousness in Xie Tian's eyes dissipate, Ling Dang couldn't help but ask, "You're not afraid of a Baron?"
Xie Tian shook his head. "Let's wait and see. There's always a way."
Just as Ling Dang expressed her doubts, An Xi interrupted again.
"Third … uh, Eldest Senior Brother."
Xie Tian turned his head. "You called me?"
An Xi was quite embarrassed, but thinking of his mission, he felt he had to speak.
"Star-class sect, Black Demon Valley, elite disciple Hu Qiang …" Xie Tian muttered and looked at Ling Dang. "Is it difficult?"
Ling Dang glanced at An Xi and pouted. "For him, it's certain death."
Xie Tian understood. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Black Demon Valley first."
Black Demon Valley belonged to the Departed Demon Ridge, which was one of the four major Immortal Realms behind it.
Xie Tian didn't have the slightest impression of the Cruel Immortal Realm. At most, he saw it as the Xuanluo Immortal Kingdom.
Of course, according to the ranking of the four major Immortal Realms, the Cruel Immortal Realm was stronger than the Xuanluo Immortal Kingdom.
However, whether it was Departed Demon Ridge or Black Demon Valley, the word "demon" triggered a small part of Xie Tian's memory.
"The one who rules the Cruel Immortal Realm is a great demon that ran amuck in ancient times …"
Hearing Ling Dang's introduction, Xie Tian's pupils contracted.
"Are you sure it's a great demon?"
Seeing Xie Tian's expression change, Ling Dang finally giggled. "I knew you would be afraid as a body refinement warrior. But don't worry, it's just a descendant of a great demon."
Even so, Xie Tian's heart tightened slightly.
He wouldn't forget the great demon's corpse in the Pill Cauldron World.
