The Heavenly Demon Sect’s Assassination List?
After chatting with Luo Qifeng for a moment, Shen Ran walked out of the hall.
He immediately thought of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Assassination List that Luo Qifeng had mentioned.
This was the first time he had heard of this assassination list, and he was a little interested.
!!
Then he asked Elder Wang who was beside him, “Elder Wang, do you know about this so-called Heavenly Demon Sect Assassination List?”
Elder Wang and Elder Chen’s bodies were covered by black robes, and their figures looked similar.
But he could distinguish between the two of them.
Elder Wang’s aloofness made Shen Ran, who was beside him, feel like he was in an icehouse.
On the other hand, Elder Chen was the complete opposite. His entire body emitted a hot feeling.
Faced with Shen Ran’s question, Elder Wang said coldly, “I remember that Elder He is in charge of this.”
At this moment, Elder Chen said enthusiastically, “It’s Elder He who’s in charge of fixing the rankings in the sect.”
Hearing the answer, Shen Ran understood.
Without hesitation, he walked towards Elder He’s residence.
As Shen Ran was walking, Elder Wang and Elder Chen hid in the dark.
The two elders disappeared just like that. Although he could sense the existence of the two elders, others would not be able to sense them unless they were very strong experts.
Elder He was not on the Eighth Summit, but in the Empyrean Sword Sect.
Shen Ran walked towards the Empyrean Sword Sect.
On the way, he could see many disciples talking behind his back.
Among them were compliments and envious voices.
There were also some comparisons.
“Look, he’s Shen Ran, one of the three Dao Seeds of the Empyrean Sword Sect.”
“It’s said that he defeated countless geniuses of the Southern Region, including Gu Shujue, and obtained a Heavenly Flame.”
“Although he has obtained the Heavenly Flame, I sense that he’s only at the sixth level of the Illumination Realm. His Highness Ji’s cultivation is higher than his. Moreover, if this continues, he has no chance of winning the competition for the position of Dao Child.”
“His Highness Meng is now at the eighth level of the Illumination Realm. I think the future battle for the position of Dao Child will definitely belong to him.”
“He was just lucky for a moment. He’s not that strong.”
“….”
Shen Ran ignored the whispered discussions around him and walked straight towards Elder He’s residence.
Soon, he came to a hall.
The hall appeared empty except for an elder with white hair. He was sitting at a table with his eyes closed. He might be taking a nap.
However, as Shen Ran walked over, Elder He’s eyelids blinked slightly and he looked over with turbid eyes.
When he saw Shen Ran, he seemed to have sensed the sound for a moment. His originally turbid eyes instantly became much clearer.
But soon the clarity dissipated and became turbid again. He smiled.
“Shen Ran, one of the three Dao Seeds who shone brightly in the mystic realm of the Fallen Phoenix Hill and obtained the Heavenly Flame.”
Elder He recognized Shen Ran at a glance.
As he spoke, he vaguely looked to the left and right of Shen Ran and clearly saw the two hidden Dao Protector Elders.
Being recognized by Elder He, Shen Ran cupped his fists and smiled. “Elder, I want to check the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Assassination List.”
Hearing Shen Ran’s words, Elder He was not surprised at all.
Elder He nodded at first, then reached out with a withered palm.
The next moment, something black suddenly appeared on the otherwise empty table.
This was followed by a fierce killing intent which spread out.
“See for yourself.”
Then, Elder He closed his eyes to rest again.
Shen Ran thanked him and looked at the black item.
It was about three feet long and a foot wide, like a stone. It was completely black.
At a glance, the most eye-catching words were:
Assassination List.
These words were blood-colored, as if they had been carved with blood. When one looked at them, one could smell blood.
After taking a rough look at the words, he looked down.
The next moment, Shen Ran’s eyes narrowed.
The first name on the assassination list was his name.
The moment he saw his name, Elder He, who was dozing off, seemed to have thought of something. He said faintly, “The Heavenly Demon Sect’s assassination list is not only for disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect to assassinate the names on the list.”
“The other cultivators can also do it. As long as they kill the people on the list, they can go to the Heavenly Demon Sect to receive their rewards.”
On the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Assassination List, other than the geniuses of the Southern Region, there are also enemies of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
As Elder He spoke, Shen Ran looked at the first name on the list.
Shen Ran: Fifth level of the Illumination Realm. Killing him can obtain one king-level Dharma treasure, two fourth-grade pills, and 50,000 spirit stones.
He saw this short line of words and the introduction on it.
Shen Ran’s eyes widened.
Good lord, not to mention the others, even he was tempted.
The reward was a king-level Dharma treasure and fourth-grade pill. Moreover, there were two pills and so many spirit stones!
It had to be said that the Heavenly Demon Sect was really generous.
And this proved that they really wanted to kill him.
After sighing slightly, Shen Ran looked at the Assassination List again.
In addition to himself, he also saw Lei Qianren, Zhou Ziran, and the young masters of the Xu and Zhao families.
And these people were all in the top twenty.
Further down, he saw Ji Qinglin and Meng Ling. The two of them were 24 and 26 respectively. The rewards for killing them were also not bad.
Seeing this, Shen Ran understood.
This so-called Heavenly Demon Sect Assassination List was used by the Heavenly Demon Sect to kill those geniuses and the experts of the opposing forces of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
And none of them were cheap.
It had to be said that the Heavenly Demon Sect’s operation was not bad. They took down their own enemies with someone else’s hand.
After roughly understanding the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Assassination List, Shen Ran bade farewell to Elder He and left.
He went straight back to the Eighth Summit.
After returning to his residence, Shen Ran roughly went through the recent events in his mind.
As well as what Luo Qifeng had said, he also remembered the matter of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s assassination list.
After everything was sorted out, Shen Ran directly entered the system space.
He used the system space to check his recent opportunities.
This seemingly trivial action led to a surprising finding.
Shen Ran immediately discovered that a mystic realm was about to open in five days.
Five days later, the East Sea Mystic Realm would open!
At the same time, he also learned that there were countless natural treasures in this East Sea Mystic Realm.
In particular, there was a Level 6 Spirit Pill.
Knowing this, Shen Ran was instantly interested.
It also clarified his next target.
Then, without hesitation, he began to prepare.
He was preparing for the East Sea Mystic Realm in five days.
