YM778.TV Chapter 50: Chapter 50 – Black Turtle Sacred Land
Before leaving, Shi Hu remembered something and asked while making a throat-cutting gesture.
"Oh?" Song Yang clearly understood Shi Hu\'s thoughts and fell into contemplation before finally reprimanding him. "We won\'t kill him. If we do that with the contractor and others find out, who would dare to hire the Shura Palace?"
This was Song Yang\'s thought: if people found out that the Shura Palace coveted treasures more than the reward itself, who would have the courage to hire them?
And if no one hired them, how could the Shura Palace increase its reputation so that Song Yang could gain reputation points from the system?
Although, if it were discovered that the Shura Palace attacked even its own contractors, it would create a commotion in the eastern region and Song Yang would likely receive many reputation points, but that would only be in the short term.
After some time without receiving assassination missions, the reputation points would drop dramatically.
But the next sentence from Song Yang left Shi Hu, who had been reprimanded, puzzled.
Song Yang continued: "And if, hypothetically, the Golden Body Sect received information after the assassination about who hired the Shura Palace..."
"And somehow thought about seeking revenge through the Shura Palace..."
"That..." Shi Hu seemed to understand something and then showed a serious expression and said, "Palace Master, don\'t worry, I guarantee to complete the mission."
Seeing Shi Hu turn into a shadow and disappear, Song Yang smiled slightly. He was indeed very tempted to find out if Fang Yu had more corpses.
Even when he obtained the Phoenix Blood Sword, an imperial artifact, he wasn\'t as excited as he was seeing that the reward for this mission was a corpse of a beast at the peak of the Saint King.
After all, although the power from an imperial artifact is formidable, it is still auxiliary.
Compared to obtaining a Saint King corpse that could enhance his own strength, Song Yang naturally preferred the latter
And if this plan went well, not only would there be no risk of the Shura Palace being seen as someone who kills for treasures, but he would also receive the reward from the Golden Body Sect.
After finishing his thoughts, Song Yang disappeared from the spot, murmuring softly, "Beiyang City, wait for me."
Black Turtle Sacred Land
The Black Turtle Sacred Land is one of the two sacred lands in the Eastern region, alongside the Purple Flame Sacred Land.
Majestically situated on a towering mountain that resembles the shell of a turtle, the Black Turtle Sacred Land is considered one of the two supreme forces in the Eastern region.
Entering this sacred land is the dream and desire of nearly all the young people in the Eastern region.
At this moment, in the palace located at the heart of the mountain, where the aura is most abundant, numerous figures are present in a meeting.
Although each figure has their aura completely contained, they exude a terribly oppressive pressure, especially the figure sitting in the main seat.
If the disciples of the Sacred Land were present, they would certainly recognize all these figures as the central elders of the sect and the sect leader, who is seated in the main seat.
Within the palace, an elder suddenly stood up and spoke with righteous indignation:
"Holy Lord, won\'t you take action regarding the Shura Palace, which is beginning to destabilize the balance of power in the Eastern region?"
"In less than three months since its emergence, besides destroying a sect with thousands of years of history, the Shura Palace is primarily responsible for the crisis that the current Bihai Dynasty is facing."
Before the Holy Lord could respond, another elder spoke with a hint of disdain:
"Elder Tang, since when do you care about the stability of the Eastern region and the Bihai Dynasty?"
"Isn\'t it just your fear that, one day, your enemies might hire the Shura Palace to kill you? Don\'t worry, you are an elder of the Sacred Land; a mere Shura Palace wouldn\'t dare to kill you!"
This was Xu Canghai\'s thought. Since the day the Shura Palace delivered the token without anyone detecting it, Tang Luoye had been furious and wanted to destroy the Shura Palace.
He also wanted to, but after several unsuccessful investigations, he practically forgot about the matter. However, in each meeting, Tang Luoye invented some new reason to destroy the Shura Palace.
As if he were afraid of the Shura Palace, even though the two forces had no grudges and the Shura Palace had never killed anyone from the sect. This attitude irritated him greatly.
"Xu Canghai!" Tang Luoye roared with anger, releasing his aura fiercely towards Xu Canghai. Although what Xu Canghai said was true—he truly feared death—the way Xu Canghai spoke publicly made him feel pressured to refute it so as not to lose prestige.
The aura exuded by Tang Luoye was nothing less than the aura of a 7-Star Saint!
In a sect like the Blue Lotus Sect, Sun Donghai, the sect leader, has the same cultivation level, but here in the Sacred Land, even a mere elder possesses the cultivation of a 7-Star Saint.
"What? Do you want to fight?" Xu Canghai was not intimidated by the crushing aura directed at him and released his own aura to counter it, which, surprisingly, was also that of a 7-Star Saint.
The constant impact between the two auras began to distort the space in the area. The other elders stepped back and watched with interest the conflict.
"Enough!"
As the tension in the hall was about to reach its peak, a majestic voice sounded.
This voice carried an incredible pressure that neutralized the conflicting auras and forced Xu Canghai and Tang Luoye to retreat, their faces pale.
This majestic pressure naturally emanated from the Holy Lord, Shen Yuanzhu, a powerful 3-Star Saint King!
