Among the twelve caves of the Underworld Cave, the most special one was the Child Cave.
In addition to the glory of the first cave, the Child Cave had many other aspects that made the other eleven caves revere it.
For example, the Child Cave was the closest place to the Underworld Cave's 24 Killing Stars.
For example, the Child Cave only had one hundred and twenty Silver-level assassins, ninety Dew level, sixty Rain level, and thirty Cloud level. Every one of them was an existence that the other caves had to look up to.
For example, among the three hundred assassins in the Child Cave, there were some that even the cave master did not dare to provoke. These assassins might not be strong, but behind them stood the supreme 24 Killing Stars of the Underworld Cave.
So …
Unbelievable?
Suspicious?
All the uncertainties that appeared on Xie Tian could not overcome the threat of the Zi Cave Assassin's command medallion. Saluting and greeting were both indispensable.
Xie Tian did not care about these things.
He only wanted to bring Mu Ye into the Clown Cave.
If he thought about it further, he would think about how to enter the Clown Cave more easily.
Now that his goal had been achieved, he put away the token and smiled at the stunned Bell. "Why aren't you smiling?"
Bell was speechless.
First, he secretly learned about the Heavenly Thunder Rumble, about the Great Elder, about killing Luo Jin and Luo Tang, and about deceiving the Supreme Emperor. Then, he saw this guy take out an assassin's token from the Zi Cave and made the assassins from the Ugly Cave bow down in fear.
Please, can't you do something normal?
"Follow me."
As though afraid that Xie Tian would do something earth-shattering or be exposed, Ling Dang hurriedly led the way and left.
Watching Bell and the others disappear, the silence at the entrance of the Clown Cave was finally broken.
"Impossible, how could this guy be an assassin from the Child Cave?"
"Carrying milk babies and disabled people, is this what the Child Cave's assassins do?"
"Could we have been tricked?"
…
The assassins looked at each other, then all looked at the cave master Mo Chou's eldest disciple — Killing Sword.
"The Child Cave's assassin token can't be fake."
Killing Sword, whose life goal was to become an assassin, was very clear about the importance of the token.
"Not to mention a Silver-level assassin token, even a Silver-level assassin token is enough to be on equal footing with the Supreme of the Underworld Cave …"
Therefore, no one would dare to forge such a token. No one would dare to impersonate the identity of a Child Cave assassin.
"However, it's just a token. It can't be fake." Killing Sword laughed coldly and turned to leave.
The assassins were puzzled.
"But the token can't be fake? Senior Brother Killing Sword is … "
"Don't tell me this person's strength is trash?"
"It's possible. I heard that some of the Three Hundred Assassins in the Child Cave have never fought before, let alone accepted a mission …"
"Didn't they say that these people are not to be trifled with?"
"Isn't that obvious? If he was easy to deal with, would Senior Brother Killing Sword let him go? Forget it, let's disperse … "
…
The group of killers dispersed, and Killing Sword, who had returned to the cave, finally showed anger on his cold face.
He did not expect that not only did he fail to stop Ling Dang's men from entering the Clown's Den, he was even slapped by Ling Dang's old acquaintance!
What's more, he didn't expect was that the reason he was slapped in the face was all because of the errand boy he had ignored from the beginning to the end!
"A mere Heaven Breaking Primary Stage Body Cultivator. If I'm not wrong, you're one of the Three Hundred Assassins in the Child Cave, one of those undeserving existences …"
These existences were backed by the Underworld Cave's supreme 24 Killing Stars. Even the Twelve Cave Masters would not easily provoke them.
"But I'm not afraid!"
Thinking of the way some people in the Clown's Den looked at him, Killing Sword's sword intent suddenly exploded. As the void surged, the shadow of a white tiger could be vaguely seen.
This shadow was extremely real, roaring through the heavens and earth! Dominating the heavens! Looking down on all living beings like ants!
"I wanted to enter the Child Cave, and was worried that there was no one to serve as a foil in the Life and Death Realm, but you jumped out …"
Killing Sword smiled coldly. "If you really were a capable assassin from the Child Cave, I would naturally respect you. Unfortunately, you're just a second-generation assassin who relied on the shadow of your predecessors! If that's the case, don't blame me for being presumptuous! "
Taking a deep breath, the humiliation of being slapped in the face gradually faded. Killing Sword closed his silver-white killing eyes.
He understood that even though he had the idea, he still needed to plan carefully to succeed.
"This person isn't capable, but the Killing Star is terrifying. Even if I use him as a stepping stone, I need to know when to stop. Otherwise, the gains won't make up for the losses …"
No one was willing to offend the Killing Star, but as long as it was within the Killing Star's tolerance, he felt that he could give it a try. If he succeeded, not only would he be able to return all the humiliation he had suffered, but he would also be able to easily enter the Child Cave and fulfill his life's wish!
Just as Killing Sword was deep in thought, Ling Dang abandoned Little Bell and her master and dragged Xie Tian into the Child Cave's boudoir … cave.
"Deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors …" An Xi clicked his tongue and sighed.
Smack!
"Aiyo, Master, why did you hit me? I was helping you … "
Mu Ye said angrily, "Go away!"
Inside the Child Cave, An Xi experienced a familiar scene once again.
Xie Tian sat cross-legged in dejection. Ling Dang's eyes widened as she stared at Xie Tian.
"Roquín, you killed him?"
Xie Tian nodded. "Yes."
Ling Dang sneered. "Why didn't you say so back then?"
Xie Tian smiled. "Are you sure?"
Ling Dang was taken aback. She immediately recalled that Xie Tian had admitted to it when they met at the inn in Xuan Ling City.
"But, how is this possible?!" Ling Dang was going crazy. "How could a supreme prodigy who could kill the Killing Star Rakshasa appear before me? And he even went to the Child Cave! You, how are you a supreme prodigy? "
Actually, in Ling Dang's eyes, Xie Tian was very powerful.
"Terrifying comprehension, nimble mind, battle prowess …"
The key was his battle prowess.
In Ling Dang's eyes, Xie Tian was a body refiner. He was powerful as hell. His long legs, in particular, could make her collapse.
On the other hand, Xie Tian was a sinister and despicable villain. No one could find the traps he set. He could easily fool Roquín with a simple act.
However, even if Xie Tian were to add these two aspects together, he still wouldn't look like a supreme prodigy, alright!
"You must be hiding something from me!" Ling Dang said angrily. "I called you Eldest Senior Brother in vain. Tell me! How could you kill the Killing Star Rakshasa? And, did you really kill Luo Tang? But, but why is it Xuanzhi? And, how did you become the Child Cave Assassin?! "
A series of questions bombarded Ling Dang. Xie Tian smiled and said one word before turning to leave.
"Guess."
Seeing that his beloved disciple was in a daze, Mu Ye sighed and said, "Little Bell …"
"M-Master …" Ling Dang came back to her senses. It was Xie Tian again. "Eldest Senior Brother, he …"
Mu Ye stared at the bell with a serious expression. "Not Eldest Senior Brother, but Grand Elder. Do you understand?"
Ling Dang had never seen her master so serious. She felt as if her heart had been hit hard.
She understood that the force of the hit was how much her master valued Xie Tian.
"Master, can you tell how powerful he is?"
Hearing this, Mu Ye felt bitter.
If I could tell, would I have ordered him around like an odd-job servant in the beginning?
