Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

Chapter 918 Assassin Organization

"The Third Regiment Commander can go. With her current strength, killing Lin Yan is more than enough! It's a sure thing! There will be no risk!"

Several senior executives nodded in agreement.

"No, Third Brother, you have to help me! And Second Brother, I need you both. Although eliminating Lin Yan is of paramount importance, the struggle for the Dao Fruit is even more crucial!"

Wu Tian shook his head.

"Captain, with your strength, you are practically the strongest force entering the Abandoned Continent this time. Obtaining the Dao Fruit should be a piece of cake, right?"

Xue Mei was puzzled.

"Judging from the surface, that's true. But those major Douling families won't sit idly by! I've heard they've already mobilized figures who have sealed away the ancients, and the Void Great Dao Sect might also send someone of that level."

Wu Tian was helpless.

"What! They're even using someone who's been sealed for eternity? These major Douling families are too ruthless!"

Several senior executives gasped in shock.

However, the strength that these ancient forces reveal on the surface is only the tip of the iceberg.

These ancient families have been passed down for millions or even tens of millions of years; their heritage is simply unimaginable.

For example, every tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, some unparalleled geniuses are born. These geniuses are nurtured by their families, but once they reach a certain level of cultivation, they are sealed away by the families.

Every so often, such geniuses would enter the world to cultivate themselves.

This allows these geniuses to cultivate for millions of years, some even tens of millions of years, while their actual age is only tens of thousands of years.

This allows these geniuses to possess incredible strength despite having very few lifespans.

Some geniuses are so young that they are even more terrifying than the older generation of giants.

However, such geniuses do not appear easily, because their families have spent countless years and endless resources to cultivate them, making them extremely precious.

If there is any loss or serious injury, the Douling family will feel a great loss.

"This time, the Xuanqi Sect Continent is too important. If we can seize this opportunity, it is enough to give birth to a Yuanhai Realm cultivator, which will make a family glorious for hundreds of millions of years. So even though there is some danger, those forces still let these people who have been sealed for thousands of years emerge into the world."

Wu Tian's expression was solemn.

If they were geniuses of the time, he wouldn't even consider them a threat.

Even a nine-star genius from the Void Great Dao Sect is not a threat as long as they haven't fully matured.

But those geniuses who have been sealed away for eternity are different.

These people can also enter the Xuanqi Sect continent, and some of them are no less powerful than him.

Those people practiced the most advanced techniques and martial arts of their respective families, and received the most advanced training. Wu Tian was not confident that he could defeat an existence of this caliber at the same level.

"Then who should our Heavenly Blood Legion send? We can't just let this kid continue to mess around!"

Xue Mei frowned.

Going to kill Lin Yan with someone below the seventh level of the Dou Ling realm is too risky. They might fail and make Lin Yan wary. Perhaps after one failure, Lin Yan will retreat back to the Void Dao Sect.

However, those at the seventh level of the Douling realm and above cannot spare any manpower.

Even the Grand Elders and Guest Elders at the seventh level of the Douling realm had to be fully utilized to support Wu Tian in his quest for the Dao Fruit.

"Contact assassin organizations and spend money to hire seventh or even eighth level Dou Ling cultivators to take action. Meanwhile, the core members of our Heavenly Blood Legion are all using their resources to compete for the Yuan Hai Dao Fruit on the Xuanqi Continent!"

Wu Tiandao.

"This? Asking them to hunt down a five-star genius must cost them quite a bit!"

Everyone was in awe.

The assassin organization is very large; if you have money, you can even assassinate someone at the ninth level of the Dou Ling realm.

However, the cost is high!

If they do it themselves, they don't have to spend any money.

“It’s worth it no matter how expensive it is. That kid caused my Heavenly Blood Legion to lose several commanders and elders. These people alone are worth a lot of money.”

Wu Tiandao.

"In that case, I'll take charge of contacting the assassin organization."

A senior executive immediately made contact.

Soon, the assassin organization sent someone to meet with this high-ranking member of the Heavenly Blood Legion.

"To assassinate this person, we will pay a deposit of 10 billion immortal jades first. The amount will be increased depending on the difficulty and losses."

The assassin organization responded quickly.

"A deposit of 10 billion? How can it be so expensive? He's only at the peak of the seventh level of the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

The high-ranking member of the Heavenly Blood Legion was taken aback.

"This person is not only a five-star disciple of the Void Dao Sect, but also highly valued by the Void Sect Master and Inspector Luo Yan. The risk of killing him is not low. In addition, according to our intelligence, this kid recently killed a seventh-level Dou Ling from your Heavenly Blood Legion."

The assassin organization responded.

"That's because our fourth regimental commander was seriously injured, so he's not that strong."

The high-ranking members of the Heavenly Blood Legion said.

"The risks of assassinating him far exceed those of a seventh-level Dou Ling. If you wanted to assassinate a hall master, 5 billion would be enough. But if it's him, you'd need to prepare at least 15 billion, or even 30 billion. If you think that's too expensive, you can find someone else. If it weren't for our years of cooperation, we wouldn't want to get involved in this mess."

"That's what the head of the assassin organization said."

“Alright, our Heavenly Blood Legion will cover the cost. We'll pay the balance once we've taken his head.”

The two parties eventually reached an agreement.

……

It took Lan Fei and the others a full six months to heal their injuries.

In the past six months, Lin Yan has also been immersed in cultivation, trying to find an opportunity to break through to the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, but unfortunately he has not felt anything at all.

"Without a Dragon Clan Dao Fruit, I will ultimately be unable to break through. I must find a Dragon Clan Dao Fruit as soon as possible!"

Besides cultivating the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique, Lin Yan also refined the metal essence he obtained, which strengthened his Primordial Sacred Dragon Body, but his progress slowed down considerably.

"If you want to make a significant breakthrough now, don't absorb Emperor-level materials anymore, the effect will be minimal. Only Douling-level materials will be of some help to you."

Dragon Emperor Sword Spirit Path.

"It seems my cultivation is about to hit a bottleneck!"

Lin Yan was helpless.

Previously, his cultivation level would advance by leaps and bounds almost every once in a while, but now the speed has suddenly dropped, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"The higher the level, the more resources are needed to break through; there's no way around it. Otherwise, why can't those Douling families, with tens of millions of years of accumulation, afford to support even a few Douling Ninth Level cultivators?"

The sword spirit laughed.

"After leaving the abandoned continent, I'll have to start spending money to improve my cultivation. Dragon Clan Dao Fruits, metal materials for the Battle Spirit Realm, and fire-attribute materials for the Mechanical Clan... each one will cost mountains of gold and seas of silver!"

Lin Yan felt that he didn't have enough Immortal Jade.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he currently has over 20 billion immortal jades; he'll probably exhaust them all in less than ten years.

After six months of recuperation, Lan Fei and the others have recovered to about 70-80%.

"Brother Lin, do you plan to continue cultivating on the Abandoned Continent, or return to the Void Great Dao Sect?"

Lan Fei asked.

"Let's see how things go. If there are still opportunities on the abandoned continent, we might as well take them."

Lin Yan smiled.

The group continued exploring the abandoned continent.

However, the subsequent treasure hunt did not go smoothly.

Lin Yan and his group explored several areas that might offer opportunities, but returned empty-handed, as the opportunities had already been seized by others.
