"What mission? Could it be a mission to assassinate the Dark Souls? "
Duanmu Zi guessed.
"That's right," Elder Tian Shu said. "The Elder King looked at the list carefully and found that the density of the Dark Souls is terrifying. They disguise themselves as all kinds of people. Some are in academies, some are in sects, and some are even disguised as ordinary Rogue Cultivators. They don't contact each other. They only return to the Netherspirit Realm when they are summoned."
Elder Tian Shu said, "This time, the Elder King has given me this important assassination mission, because only the few of us know about this matter, and we can't leak it out. Once those Nether souls find out, it will be even more difficult for us to assassinate them."
"Elder Tian Shu, are you the only one?"
Ye Mo couldn't help but ask.
"How is that possible?" Elder Tian Shu said. "There are at least a thousand Dark Souls hidden in the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal World. The Elder King has already investigated all of their strengths. There are more than a dozen Immortal Kings, and their strengths are all below mine. As for the other Dark Souls, they are all Immortal Supremes and Immortal Saints.
I can't deal with them alone. "Elder Tian Shu said," This matter can't be delayed. The Elder King has ordered me to erase these Dark Souls one by one from the list within three months. "
"Elder Tian Shu, let me help you!"
Duanmu Zi said.
"Even if you don't help me, it won't work. The Elder King knows that the two of you know about the Dark Souls, so he asked the two of you to cooperate with me to complete the mission. The Elder King also said that if the three of us can kill all the Dark Souls hidden in the Immortal World within three months, he'll consider Ye Mo's suggestion."
Elder Tian Shu couldn't help but look at Ye Mo.
"Really?"
Ye Mo's face lit up. It seemed that there was a chance for this matter to turn around. The Elder King, who looked extremely dignified, wasn't so cold and ruthless.
"What suggestion?"
Duanmu Zi and Mu Wanqing were both confused.
"You guys don't know," Elder Tian Shu said. "This Ye Mo is too bold. He actually asked the Elder King to spare the Dark Souls of the Netherspirit Realm in front of him. At that time, the Elder King was so angry that he almost killed us."
Elder Tian Shu couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when he thought about what had happened back then. If he hadn't dragged Ye Mo away in time, Elder Wang would have gone crazy, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Duanmu Zi was shocked when she heard that. She knew a little about the temper of the Elder King. Ye Mo actually dared to say something like that in front of the Elder King. However, although Ye Mo's words were risky, they had an obvious effect.
As long as they could erase all the Nether souls on the list within three months, the elder king would release the Nether souls from the Nether Soul Realm.
"Looks like the Elder King is someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Ye Mo smiled faintly.
"The Elder King said that even though he won't kill those innocent Nether Souls, he will seal the Nether Spirit Realm and trap those Nether Souls in the Nether Spirit Realm forever."
Elder Tian Shu continued.
Naturally, Ye Mo wouldn't object to that.
Next, the Elder King began to assign tasks to Ye Mo and Duanmu Zi. "I've already divided the list into three parts. One for those below the Fourth Level Celestial Saint, one for those between the Fourth Level Celestial Saint and Seventh Level Celestial Saint, and one for those between the Eighth Level Celestial King Realm. These three lists will be given to Duanmu Zi, Ye Mo, and me. But the most difficult task is still for Ye Mo, because most of the Nether Souls are around the Fifth Level Celestial Saint or the Sixth Level Celestial Saint."
"With my current strength, if I were to assassinate a Seventh Level Celestial Saint, I can easily kill a Seventh Level Celestial Saint with one strike. Killing those Nether Souls shouldn't be too much of a problem."
Ye Mo said.
"What?"
Duanmu Zi was shocked. "You've only condensed two Saint Marks, and you can kill a Seventh Level Celestial Saint with one strike?"
"When he stole the list from Ming Xiaotian, the Clan Leader of the Nether Spirit Clan, he escaped from two Seventh Level Celestial Saints," Elder King Tian Shu said. "Ye Mo's current strength is extraordinary. Even Zhou Han can't compare to him. If the Dean knew about Ye Mo's current strength, I'm afraid he'd be shocked speechless."
Elder Tian Shu had read Ming Xiaotian's memories, so he was very clear about Ye Mo's performance in the Nether Spirit Realm. He couldn't help but sigh. "Looks like the Dean made the right choice back then."
"This?"
Duanmu Zi's face was filled with disbelief. Back then, Ye Mo had been the most inconspicuous existence in front of her. But now, he had completely surpassed her.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. If I didn't even have this trick up my sleeve, how would I be able to fight against Zhou Han in the future?"
Ye Mo couldn't help but say.
"Alright, take your respective lists and assassinate them one by one," Elder King Tian Shu said. "It's best not to cause a commotion, lest things get out of hand and the other Nether Souls find out. After the Nether Souls are killed, their original forms will be revealed.
So, after killing them, you must dispose of their corpses. "
"Understood!"
Ye Mo and Duanmu Zi each took a list and glanced at it. There were more than 500 Nether Souls that Ye Mo had to assassinate. As for Duanmu Zi, he had to assassinate more than 300. As for Elder Tian Shu, he only had to kill more than 200.
"Since that's the case, let's begin," Elder Tian Shu said. "Whether or not we can save the lives of those innocent Nether Souls will depend on our performance in the next three months."
The three of them disappeared from the Immortal Martial Space at the same time.
The next moment, Ye Mo appeared in a city in the Ninth Heaven. This city was called Ink Feather City.
This assassination mission was the most difficult for Ye Mo. In three months, he had to assassinate more than 500 Nether Souls. That was equivalent to assassinating five Nether Souls a day.
Furthermore, the targets were all Nether Soul experts with different methods. Something could happen at any time.
Ye Mo sat in a corner of an inn, holding a list in his hand. The list was arranged according to the strongest to the weakest. The first target he had to assassinate was the society leader of the Earthen Pillar Society, a Fourth Level Immortal Saint.
This person was a Nether Soul in disguise. He had established the Earthen Pillar Society in Ink Feather City and had recruited countless disciples. Furthermore, he had quite a bit of prestige in Ink Feather City. If he died for no reason, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
But Ye Mo didn't care that much. It was fine as long as no one knew he was a Nether Soul. In the Immortal World, who didn't have at least one or two enemies?
Now, the most important thing was to find out the whereabouts of the Earthen Pillar Society.
"I heard that the society leader of the Earthen Pillar Society is celebrating his 10,000th birthday today. There's going to be a huge banquet tonight. Apparently, all the big shots in Ink Feather City are going to celebrate with him."
"The society leader of the Earthen Pillar Society, Luo Kui, is a true powerhouse in Ink Feather City. Who would dare not give him face? Looks like there's going to be a good show tonight. I wonder how many big shots are going to celebrate with him."
Immediately, the sounds of discussion from the guests could be heard in the surroundings.
