Chapter 404 - 405: Found You

Su Mo couldn’t help but frown at his words.

Yama Hall?

’That name sounds so familiar.’

The Ninth Floor Master explained, "Yama Hall is an assassin organization. They commit every crime imaginable and are vicious to the extreme. If they set their sights on something you have, you must offer it up unconditionally. Otherwise, they’ll kill you for your treasures and annihilate your entire sect and clan."

"That Yama Hall really is despicable!"

Su Mo agreed.

In the Martial Arts World, there were plenty who would kill for treasure, but those were deeds done in the shadows. No one ever dared to do such things out in the open.

Let alone annihilating entire sects and clans.

Yama Hall’s actions were a blatant defiance of the entire world.

The Ninth Floor Master said resentfully, "And that’s not all. They often pull strings behind the scenes, instigating conflicts between the major powers just so they can reap the benefits. Everyone in the Cangxuan Realm hates them to the bone."

"Why hasn’t anyone destroyed them?"

Su Mo asked.

The Ninth Floor Master gave a wry smile. "All the great Sacred Lands want to destroy Yama Hall, but the problem is they have far too many experts. Publicly, they have a full ten Martial Emperors."

HISS...

Su Mo couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

’Ten Martial Emperors out in the open... so how many are there in the shadows?’

’Who knows how many more there are.’

He had been in the Central Profound Domain for so long, but aside from killing a few Martial Emperor Residual Souls, he had never even seen a living Martial Emperor.

’And to think Yama Hall has so many of them.’

’Martial Emperors are as common as dogs to them, it seems.’

The Ninth Floor Master continued, "Their ten public Martial Emperors correspond to the Ten Kings of the Underworld from mythology. The most famous among them are King Qin Guang, King of Chu River, Emperor Song, and the King of Reincarnation..."

"Wait, did you say the King of Reincarnation?"

Su Mo interjected.

He finally remembered that the King of Reincarnation was a member of Yama Hall. No wonder the name had sounded vaguely familiar earlier.

The Ninth Floor Master nodded. "The King of Reincarnation is the lowest-ranking member of the Ten Halls of Yama, but he’s also the most active. His methods are so cruel they’re utterly abhorrent."

"Tell me, how abhorrent are we talking?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

The Ninth Floor Master clenched his fists. "Rumor has it that to obtain cultivation resources, he didn’t hesitate to offer his wife and daughter to a powerful figure for his pleasure. In the end, to secure his position among the Ten Halls of Yama, he even killed his own father and son, and slaughtered all of his relatives."

"That..."

Su Mo sucked in a breath of cold air.

’What kind of person could be as cruel and depraved as the King of Reincarnation? To not even spare his own wife and daughter...’

’Killing his father, killing his son, slaughtering his own clan.’

’That’s not a man.’

’He’s clearly a beast in human skin, more devoid of conscience than any Evil Demon.’

Su Mo said in a low voice, "I must find a way to eliminate this guy as soon as possible."

’The King of Reincarnation is completely unscrupulous. He killed his own father and son. Who knows what atrocities he’d commit if he ever reached Qingyang City.’

"Elder Su, you know the King of Reincarnation?"

The Ninth Floor Master asked, curious.

Su Mo said, "I more than know him. We have a score to settle."

The Ninth Floor Master looked bewildered.

As far as he knew, Su Mo was from the Northern Profound Domain, while the King of Reincarnation had remained in the Central Profound Domain for years.

’Logically, their paths should never have crossed. How could they have become enemies?’

Su Mo said nonchalantly, "It’s not that big of a deal. I just had some people take turns slapping him a few times, spat on him a few times, and destroyed one of his clones. That’s all."

"What?"

The Ninth Floor Master’s jaw dropped, and he stood frozen on the spot.

’Slapped the King of Reincarnation, spat on him, and even destroyed his clone?’

’That’s something only a madman would do, right?’

One had to understand that even experts from the great Sacred Lands would respectfully make way if they encountered a clone of the King of Reincarnation, not daring to offend him.

’And Su Mo actually said it wasn’t a big deal, even adding "that’s all"?’

Given the King of Reincarnation’s cruel nature, any one of the things Su Mo did would be enough to make him hunt Su Mo down to the death.

A fight to the bitter end.

Su Mo asked, "Do you know where the King of Reincarnation is?"

"I don’t!"

The Ninth Floor Master shook his head. "Yama Hall is extremely secretive. No one knows where their main headquarters is. However, I do know of one of their branch headquarters, and it happens to be managed by the King of Reincarnation."

"Where is it exactly?"

Su Mo asked.

The Ninth Floor Master lowered his voice. "In Hanhai City, not far from our Nine Great Forces... Elder Su, surely you’re not thinking of going to the Hanhai City branch to seek revenge on the King of Reincarnation?"

Su Mo nodded.

’If the King of Reincarnation isn’t dead, he’s a major threat to Qingyang City. He’ll make a move on it sooner or later.’

’I happen to have some free time right now, so I might as well go and eliminate this threat.’

"I’ll activate the Teleportation Array right away and send you to Hanhai City, Elder Su," the Ninth Floor Master said.

Su Mo waved his hand. "There’s no need to trouble you this time. Since it’s not far from here, I’ll just fly over myself."

With that said, Su Mo vanished from the spot.

The Ninth Floor Master trembled. "He really went... It seems something major is about to happen in the Cangxuan Realm. The very heavens might be about to fall."

Yama Hall had been entrenched in the Cangxuan Realm for thousands of years, and no one had ever dared to make a move against them.

Now, someone was finally going to take them on.

’I hope Su Mo can actually kill the King of Reincarnation.’

「Hanhai City.」

Inside the Yama Hall branch headquarters, a middle-aged man in black robes asked fawningly, "Captain Lu, when will we be heading to the Northern Profound Domain to kill Su Mo?"

"What’s your hurry?"

Captain Lu said coldly, "Su Mo is the one Lord King of Reincarnation has specifically designated to kill personally. He is His Lordship’s prey. Do you dare to touch him?"

"Lord King of Reincarnation’s prey? Of course I wouldn’t dare touch him!"

A flash of fear crossed the black-robed man’s eyes.

Clearly, he was terrified of the King of Reincarnation.

The black-robed man changed the subject, speaking with disdain, "What I don’t understand is why a mere genius from the Northern Profound Domain, even one with heaven-defying abilities, is still just an ant among ants. Is he really worthy of Lord King of Reincarnation’s personal attention?"

Captain Lu shook his head.

He didn’t understand the reason either.

Captain Lu said, "However, you shouldn’t underestimate Su Mo. A while ago, he annihilated over a dozen families within two days, and he also offended the Haoyue Sect, forcing them to issue an Ultimate Pursuit Order."

"So what?"

The black-robed man remained dismissive. "Forget about comparing them to Lord King of Reincarnation. Even compared to us, the entire Haoyue Sect’s combined strength is like a firefly trying to outshine the moon. They’re just a bunch of unimpressive trash."

BOOM!

A thick wave of Emperor’s Might erupted from the black-robed man.

In an instant, all of Hanhai City was in an uproar.

Many people with low Realms were stunned by the man’s Emperor’s Might, collapsing to the ground on the spot, trembling in terror.

"Emperor’s Might! That’s Emperor’s Might!"

"Heavens, there’s actually a Martial Emperor in our Hanhai City!"

The crowd exclaimed in terror.

Captain Lu said, displeased, "How many times have I told you to be more restrained and not casually reveal our presence?"

"Besides the two of us, you won’t find a third Martial Emperor in this entire city. There’s no need for us to hide, is there?" the black-robed man said, unconcerned.

Captain Lu shook his head.

’Their Yama Hall is an assassin organization. They’re supposed to act with discretion, not just in Hanhai City but everywhere else too.’

However, he had to admit the black-robed man had a point.

Here in Hanhai City, there was indeed no one who could rival two Martial Emperors like them.

But just then...

A cold, mocking laugh, like a cat toying with a mouse, suddenly echoed in their ears: "Found you."
