Chapter 958: Ten Thousand Troops Come to Meet

Chapter 958: Chapter 962: Ten Thousand Troops Come to Meet

The Bear Tribe, relying on the Human Daoist Sect, has the Leopard Cat Clan as its biggest partner. The mother of the Bear Tribe’s Clan Leader, Xiong Taishan, comes from the Leopard Cat Clan.

Every few generations, the Bear Tribe and the Leopard Cat Clan have a marriage alliance.

At this moment, the Clan Leader of the Leopard Cat Clan brings his clan members to the Bear Tribe because Xiong Taishan sent a letter saying that a beheading assembly would have issues and asked their Leopard Cat Clan to assist immediately.

Therefore, the Clan Leader of the Leopard Cat Clan not only came but also invited the Supreme Elder.

How old is this Supreme Elder exactly?

The Clan Leader doesn’t know either. The Supreme Elder holds a very high position within the clan, above the Clan Leader, but generally does not get involved. If he does, the Clan Leader must follow his command.

On the way, the Supreme Elder talks about his youthful experiences. Now, the Supreme Elder is telling stories to the Clan Leader and the juniors, recounting how he encountered a great figure when he was Clan Leader.

He followed this great figure for a month.

The members of the Leopard Clan are very curious. What kind of person is worthy of being called a great figure?

As they inquire about who this great figure is, the Supreme Elder originally wants to reveal it,

but suddenly trembles, his expression drastically changing.

“You’ll… you’ll see him soon. He’s also heading in the Bear Tribe’s direction.”

The Supreme Elder’s words leave the Clan Leader and the tribe members puzzled.

Could it be that the great figure is also visiting the Bear Tribe?

If so, they should definitely seek guidance from this great figure.

“That person will be at the Bear Tribe? Does the current Clan Leader of the Bear Tribe have any ties to our Leopard Cat Clan?” the Leopard Clan’s Supreme Elder suddenly asks.

The Leopard Cat Clan Leader nods.

“Actually, the current Clan Leader of the Bear Tribe is also your later generation, your niece’s niece… Oh, it’s too tangled. Anyway, he’s still your junior.”

“Oh.” The Supreme Elder nods, “I hope he takes good care of that great figure for me.”

… On the edge of the continent, several silhouettes are practicing swordsmanship at a pitch-black water pool.

They are assassins!

Assassins differ from hitmen.

Hitmen risk their lives, fighting even at the cost of their own life, ensuring the opponent dies too.

But assassins,

if they fail to kill,

they flee thousands of miles,

to kill again, fail again, flee again, then prepare for another chance, then kill!

Black Water Pool is the name of this place and also the name of an assassin organization,

led by the King of Killers.

The King of Killers is in the Fifth Grade of the Martial Emperor Realm, but he has killed someone in the Ninth Grade of the Martial Emperor Realm, thus becoming famous on the edge of the continent.

At that time, he shouldn’t have been able to kill someone with the Ninth Grade of the Martial Emperor Realm, but if he failed once, he’d flee and later find another chance, then kill.

Retreat when the enemy advances,

Disturb when the enemy retreats,

Eventually, he ended up killing that person in the Ninth Grade of the Martial Emperor Realm,

and through that event, many people on the continent’s edge came to admire him. He used that opportunity to develop his strength.

Thus, “Black Water Pool” was born.

Each person practices swordsmanship in front of the waterfall in the pool, with some organization members bitter beyond belief.

“Strive!”

“Try harder.”

Seeing the organization members’ fatigue, the King of Killers, with a black scarf on his face, coldly says, “You must listen to me. Practicing swordsmanship in water is twice the result with half the effort. This is what my master once told me.”

“He said there’s a way to practice swords, the Way of the Sword: ten swords into one, a hundred swords into one, a thousand swords into one, ten thousand swords into one, a hundred thousand swords into one…”

A hundred types of swordsmanship, combined into one sword, is how to train in the Heavenly King Realm. A hundred types of swordsmanship combined into one sword is how to train in the Martial Emperor Realm.

This sword,

is unstoppable!

Just as the King of Killers was about to lecture this group of followers,

suddenly someone arrives, it is a Bear Soldier.

“Is this Black Water Pool?”

“Yes.” The King of Killers nods, his tone even colder in front of outsiders, like a fierce ghost, “If someone seeks me, there’s only one reason, and that’s to hire an assassin to kill someone!!!”

“Indeed, I’ve come here for this matter of killing.” The Bear Soldier, cold sweat dripping, intimidated by the atmosphere of death, says, “But the Clan Leader says the target this time isn’t ordinary, might have some skills, so rather than hiring other assassins, we’re hiring you personally.”

“Oh?”

The King of Killers chuckles, having not personally killed someone for a long time, as he’s been accumulating killing intent,

waiting for the day it erupts. Then, the sword thrust will be truly terrifying.

How could he waste his killing intent on someone else’s affairs,

The King of Killers was about to refuse when he suddenly sensed something, his gaze intense.

“Alright, I’ll go with you to the Bear Tribe.”

“Really?” The Bear Soldier rejoices. Both he and Clan Leader Xiong Taishan had come with a hopeful attitude, not expecting it to succeed?

“Indeed.” The King of Killers nods,

The assassins behind him are stunned.

The Bear Soldier is delighted, immediately bowing, “Thank you King of Killers, thank you King of Killers. When my clan leader learns of your personal involvement, he’ll be overjoyed.”

“Delighted or tearful, only time will tell,” the King of Killers says ambiguously,

leaving the Bear Soldier dumbfounded. What does this mean?

… Meanwhile,

The Blood Mist has completely enveloped the mountains where the Bear Tribe resides,

Wu Tian currently leads a group in a bird-chirping and flower-scented spot within the mountains, awaiting the beheading assembly to begin, so Wu Tian and his company are in no rush to act.

Within the Blood Mist, the little one asks Wu Tian to tell her a story, so Wu Tian directly recounts the story of “Stellar Transformations,”

The little one rolls her eyes upon listening,

“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?” Wu Tian asks, puzzled,

“What’s wrong with ‘Stellar Transformations’?”

Remembering how she used to enjoy stories like “Battle through the Heavens” and “Coiling Dragon,”

she loved those.

“Dad, why is it always about the rise of the trash?” the little one complains, “Does it mean that someone clever like me from a young age has no hope?”

Wu Tian laughs, “Perhaps!”

The little one becomes unhappy.

At this moment, a Wild Chicken Clan enters the mountains to attend the beheading assembly,

and happens to be seen by Wu Tian and his company.

But the Wild Chicken Clan, due to the dense Blood Mist, doesn’t notice Wu Tian and his group.

Yet for Wu Tian and his group, the Blood Mist rises because of them, allowing them to see clearly.

The Wild Chicken Clan is escorting an old man into the mountains,

Looking at the old man, Wu Tian finds him somewhat familiar but can’t quite remember who he is.

“Haha, I’ve heard that for generations, you had no relation with Wutian Celestial Emperor, yet always admired him, correct?” the Wild Chicken Clan Leader suddenly asks the old man they’ve captured.

Throughout the journey, he’s asked several times,

The old man, tired of it, now shouts, “Originally, I didn’t want to talk to you, but now I’ll tell you, yes, yes, yes! My ancestors were beggars once, and thanks to Wutian Celestial Emperor’s help with a thousand taels of gold, we escaped poverty. My ancestors have always worshipped Wutian Celestial Emperor’s portrait. Whether you wish to kill or beat, do as you please.”
