Arriving in the Central Land of the Divine Continent

Mo Tianxiao had asked Ao Dalong to stop the enemy from self-destructing. Instead, he simply smashed the guy's soul to pieces with a single strike of his club, solving the problem from the root.

But the problem was that this wasn't what Mo Tianxiao meant at all.

Mo Tianxiao looked somewhat helpless. He had been planning to refine this Saint-level assassin's soul to extract information about the Blood God Palace's headquarters.

Now it seemed the plan would still have to proceed.

With a wave of his hand, a dense swarm of howling dark spirits flew out from the Human Emperor Banner, completely devouring the energy erupting from the Saint-level assassin's shattered soul.

Although the Saint Realm soul had been scattered, its energy could still be used to enhance the strength of the various spirits within the Human Emperor Banner.

Witnessing Mo Tianxiao's methods, Ao Dalong looked curious. He hadn't expected his big brother to be raising so many dark spirits, and they weren't weak either.

Huang Xiaoyao, on the other hand, had seen Mo Tianxiao's Human Emperor Banner before and remained perfectly calm.

Yun Sangyi, however, felt a slight chill in her heart. With so many souls, just how many people had this guy killed?

Killing them wasn't enough; he even refined their souls, preventing them from ever reincarnating. This was even more ruthless than an assassin. No wonder he could become the young master of a demonic sect.

He was definitely not a good person!

Big brother, don't blame me for being heavy-handed. There was a restriction in this assassin's soul. I'm afraid that before your treasure could refine it, it would have triggered the restriction, causing his soul to passively self-destruct.

Ao Dalong explained the reason why he had bludgeoned the Saint-level assassin to death with one strike.

So that's how it is. I don't blame you, I just feel it's a bit of a pity.

A Saint Realm soul was gone just like that; naturally, it was a pity.

However, he had more or less figured one thing out: the inner assassins of the Blood God Palace seemed to all have restrictions planted in their souls, specifically designed to prevent soul-searching and similar techniques.

Meanwhile, freelance external assassins like Yun Sangyi didn't have such restrictions.

Of course, this also meant that external assassins knew absolutely nothing about the core secrets of the Blood God Palace.

We actually managed to kill a Saint-level assassin. If they knew they lost a Saint-level assassin just because they took a mission to assassinate you, their intestines would probably turn green with regret, right?

Yun Sangyi was still somewhat amazed.

This was a Saint Realm expert, an irreplaceable pillar for any faction.

It's all thanks to Big Brother's methods and the Blood God Palace's Blood Stealth Art. Otherwise, a Saint Realm cultivator wouldn't be so easy to take down.

As a Saint Realm cultivator himself, Ao Dalong naturally knew how powerful they were.

If this Saint-level assassin's Blood Stealth Art hadn't failed, they might not have been able to kill him. Not only that, but a few of them might have been killed in retaliation.

After all, only those who had learned the Blood Stealth Art knew just how overpowered it was.

Against someone of the same cultivation level, unless you had a special eye technique, there was absolutely nothing you could do.

Oh right, there's also this dagger. It seems pretty decent. Big Brother, do you want it?

Ao Dalong took out the assassin's curved dagger. It still gleamed with a cold light and was incredibly sharp; it had almost sliced off Yun Sangyi's head earlier.

Mo Tianxiao glanced at it and realized it was actually a Quasi-Saint weapon. Come to think of it, he was a Saint-level assassin after all. Even if he was just at the weakest early Saint stage, owning a Quasi-Saint weapon was quite normal.

Keep it for yourself to use. Just remember not to let the assassins from the Blood God Palace spot any flaws.

After briefly sorting out their loot, Mo Tianxiao and the other three set off again, heading towards the Central Divine Continent.

It was just one Saint-level assassin. The moment the Blood God Palace dared to accept the mission to assassinate him, they were destined to pay a heavy price.

A Saint-level assassin was only the beginning.

Upon entering the Central Divine Continent, the group felt the atmosphere shift slightly. It seemed much livelier here than in other regions.

Because the Supreme Dao Sect, which claimed to be the leader of the righteous path, oversaw the Central Divine Continent, the majority of factions, families, and sects in the Xuanhuang World that considered themselves righteous had gathered here.

The Central Divine Continent was also the region with the most mortals.

Although he didn't know just how righteous this Supreme Dao Sect truly was, judging solely by the sheer number of mortals, Mo Tianxiao was quite impressed by them.

At the very least, the Central Divine Continent appeared peaceful on the surface, and the mortals living here showed no signs of living in fear.

Brother... Sister Nan, what is that? It looks like it would be very delicious!

Huang Xiaoyao looked at the candied haws being peddled on the street, her clear eyes instantly drawn to them.

Mo Tianxiao looked at the crystal-clear candied haws, then looked at Huang Xiaoyao's eager expression.

...

A short while later, Mo Tianxiao and the other three were strolling through the bustling mortal town, each holding a stick of candied haws.

Yun Sangyi took small bites of her candied haws, occasionally glancing at Mo Tianxiao's sexy little lips glistening with sugar syrup.

Stop looking, I don't swing that way.

Mo Tianxiao felt that Yun Sangyi's orientation was more or less a bit problematic. He should just let her sit at the same table as Su Muyao. But she didn't seem to be entirely like that either. Could this girl be bi...

What are you talking about?

Yun Sangyi didn't understand what Mo Tianxiao was saying. She simply thought Mo Tianxiao's little girl appearance was very cute.

By the way, where are we going next? Should we go straight to the Blood God Palace branch?

Two Saint weapons! To be honest, she was quite looking forward to it. She wondered what kind of Saint weapons the Blood God Palace would give her.

Yun Sangyi was fantasizing, imagining whether she was about to own a Saint weapon too.

However, Mo Tianxiao shot her a ruthless glance, as if guessing what she was thinking.

Are you kidding, sister? Do you really think they would just hand you two Saint weapons for free? Don't you know your own strength?

Judging from the attitude of the Saint-level assassin they had killed from the Eastern Region's Blood God Palace branch, it was obvious that things like rewards would absolutely not be given to an external assassin like her.

If you just took the Saint weapons and quit the Blood God Palace, wouldn't they suffer a massive loss? Even if they were going to give them out, they would give them to their own people.

He hadn't expected that Yun Sangyi, despite having adventured outside for so many years and assassinated so many people, was actually much more naive than he thought.

Let's find an inn to rest for a bit. We've been traveling for so long, there's no rush right now.

They casually found the most luxurious inn in the area and booked a few rooms. Because it was Huang Xiaoyao's first time in the human world, she was extremely curious about everything around her and dragged Mo Tianxiao along to go shopping.

Since Yun Sangyi had nothing to do, she strongly insisted on tagging along.

As for Ao Dalong, in order not to disturb his big brother and the two girls who might potentially become his sisters-in-law while they shopped, he decided to wander around the town on his own.

Didn't that old geezer say the human world was sinister and cunning? He felt it was quite nice. At a glance, everyone seemed to be living in harmony.

Noticing a small stall selling masks, Ao Dalong walked over with great interest, picked up an Azure Dragon mask, and asked the stall owner, How much is this?

The stall owner glanced at the burly Ao Dalong and held up one finger.

Seeing this, Ao Dalong tossed out a hundred spirit stones from his spatial ring. It's only one hundred? That's quite cheap.

Huh?

Seeing a hundred sparkling spirit stones laid out in front of him, the stall owner immediately bounced up from his chair.
