Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a man entered the arena, clapping and cheering. His cultivation level was at the late stage of the Yuan Dan realm.
"Young Master Lan, your cultivation and courage are truly remarkable! This duel was indeed spectacular and will likely be recorded in the annals of the Xuanhuang Continent!"
Lan Hua frowned. "Who are you?"
The man smiled and said, "I am Du Yu, head of the Burial God Alliance Affairs Department!"
"The Burial God Alliance has indeed appeared!" Lan Hua snorted.
"What?! He's actually a member of the Burial God Alliance! How utterly despicable!"
"The Burial God Alliance has wreaked havoc on the Xuanhuang Continent, and countless comrades have died tragically at the hands of its assassins!"
"Exactly, we absolutely cannot let this person leave!"
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and surrounded Du Yu, not giving him any chance to escape, which shows that the Burial God Alliance has a very bad reputation.
However, Du Yu appeared calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about his own safety.
Huo Xiaoxiao knew that this person came from the Burial God Alliance, and her expression changed instantly. She began to worry about Lan Hua's safety, and her hands kept clenching and unclenching.
As an assassin of the Burial God Alliance, although she did not know the Burial God Alliance's purpose in showing itself, targeting Lan Hua was definitely not a good thing.
Lan Hua snorted, "Aren't you afraid of being surrounded and killed on the spot by cultivators from the Xuanhuang Continent just for showing up here?"
Because of the duel between Lan Hua and Duan Yu, nearly half of the cultivators from the Xuanhuang Continent have gathered on Mount Undying. What a powerful force that must be!
"I'm scared, so scared!" Du Yu exclaimed, making an exaggerated expression.
Lan Hua snorted, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Du Yu chuckled evilly, "I've come here specifically to invite you to join the Blood Ranking of the Burial God Alliance, a killer hero. Would you consider it?"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, causing an uproar among the crowd.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Although this kid was demoted from the Pill God Palace, he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong!"
"That's right, it seems like you've done quite a few good deeds. Saving the six sect leaders is a great achievement!"
Lan Hua frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong.
Knowing that this person clearly knew he had rejected the Blood List, he still did this simply to make him admit to being an assassin and to drag him into a quagmire.
"Hmph, I'm just a proper rogue cultivator, I have absolutely no connection with the assassins of the Burial God Alliance!" Lan Hua snorted.
"Yeah?"
Du Yu smiled and took out an item, which was the sound transmission jade talisman used exclusively by the Burial God Alliance.
"A sound transmission jade talisman? What can that thing prove?" Lan Hua wondered to herself.
Du Yu held the communication jade talisman in his left hand and channeled a wisp of mental energy into it with his right. The jade talisman immediately shone brightly, emitting a beam of light.
Suddenly, a bright screen appeared in the void, displaying a bunch of text, all of which was about Lan Hua, along with a portrait.
"Holy crap, this is a holographic projection!" Lan Hua thought to herself, her mind racing.
The screen displays: Lan Hua, male, 22 years old, assassin of the Burial God Alliance, codename Hero, has topped the popularity and newcomer lists multiple times, his weapon is a bow and arrow, and his information is extremely comprehensive.
What's even more infuriating is that every mission Lan Hua carried out, and the amount of payment she received, was recorded in detail, spanning more than ten pages.
Lan Hua's expression changed drastically. He himself couldn't remember when he had carried out so many missions, his tracks covering the five regions of the Xuanhuang Continent.
"My God, Lan Hua is actually an assassin from the Burial God Alliance!"
"How could this happen? He actually killed so many people. Is there no law? Is there no justice?"
"Good heavens! This man actually killed my father, the master of the Golden Light Sect! I will never let him live under the same sky!"
"Damn it! My family head, Long Aotian, was assassinated by Lan Hua! I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!"
"......"
In an instant, Lan Hua was subjected to verbal and written attacks and became the target of public criticism; he was almost surrounded by the spittle of the crowd.
Shen Yuyan, Kong Xuan, and the others, who were initially overjoyed, suddenly changed their expressions and found it difficult to accept Lan Hua's other identity.
Even the high-ranking members of the eight major forces looked grim; they never expected Lan Hua to be an assassin.
What's even more alarming is that Lan Hua killed so many people in just over a year, including heads of powerful families and elders of various sects.
Zhao Xueli frowned, also worried about Lan Hua.
Lan Hua snorted, "Du Yu, the Burial God Alliance is truly despicable. Such top-secret information is revealed so easily. Aren't you afraid that the assassins of the Burial God Alliance will be disheartened?"
Du Yu laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about these things. This is the price you pay for refusing the Blood Ranking!"
After saying that, Du Yu's figure vanished instantly, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Hmm? His sudden disappearance is intriguing!"
Lan Hua was slightly startled, wondering what kind of magic technique in the world could make someone disappear on the spot.
"But he's only at the Yuan Dan realm; even the most amazing movement technique can't do that!"
Suddenly, Lan Hua sensed a fluctuation of talismanic power and smiled slightly. "Invisibility talisman, a mere trifle. With that, you dare to be powerful yet disregard favor!"
Not only Lan Hua noticed it, but even the powerful figures of the Immortal Talisman Sect in mid-air noticed it, but they did not reveal it, because it was unnecessary.
"If you want to slip away, you'll have to ask my Yueque Bow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen invisible arrows swarmed out and shot into the distant sky.
"ah..."
Du Yu let out a scream, then revealed his true form and fell from mid-air.
"You actually destroyed my dantian and extinguished my dantian fire, you might as well have just killed me!" Du Yu said hysterically.
"I won't kill you, but someone else will!"
Suddenly, countless figures pressed in; they were the relatives and friends of the person Lan Hua had assassinated. It was a dark mass, including many rogue cultivators at the Danxia Realm.
Even someone as strong as Lan Hua would find it difficult to break through.
Lan Hua said loudly, "That's right, I am indeed an assassin of the Burial God Alliance, but I am just doing my job for money. If we're talking about cause and effect, shouldn't you be looking for your employer?"
What he said makes a lot of sense. A hitman kills, but not indiscriminately. He is doing the work of eliminating trouble for others, just like an axeman. The real cause and effect relationship is between the employer and the victim.
But the murdered person's relatives and friends don't care about any of that. If the employer can't be found, then they'll seek revenge on the killer.
"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting? You've killed so many people, you deserve to pay with your life!"
Lan Hua snorted, "Even if I don't take these missions, do you think those people won't die? If I don't kill them, someone else will. It's utterly ridiculous!"
"A life for a life is a matter of course. This man is so bloodthirsty, he must be killed today!"
One of them shouted and charged towards Lan Hua. He was quite skilled, having reached the third level of the Danxia Realm. He was none other than Li Han, an elder of the Divine Fist Sect.
"Hmph, you're asking for death!"
Lan Hua's expression instantly turned cold. She unleashed the "Six Gods Without a Master" move, firing thirty-two Crimson Lotus Fire Arrows in a dense, powerful rain of arrows.
"ah…"
"Why didn't you... come with us and kill this thief...?"
Li Han was hit by dozens of arrows, riddled with bullets, and died on the spot, startling everyone into stopping abruptly.
"Who else!"
Lan Hua's arrow once again established her power, without even needing to use a talisman arrow, leaving everyone trembling with fear.
Wei Wuji frowned, worried about Lan Hua.
The person killed was an elder of the Divine Fist Sect. The Divine Fist Sect was a second-rate sect in the Xuanhuang Continent. Although it was not as powerful as the seven major sects, it still had a certain influence.
Although Lan Hua's arrow intimidated the heroes, the consequences might be counterproductive. If someone were to instigate it, the outcome would be unimaginable.
Sure enough, someone shouted, "This boy is truly insane! He even killed Elder Li Han, a highly respected elder of the Divine Fist Sect. Does he intend to kill us all as well?"
"No, let's go together and kill them all, to avenge them!"
"revenge!"
"..."
Everyone rushed forward, a dark mass surging in like a tidal wave, giving Lan Hua a real headache.
"If you want to kill me, then don't blame me for being polite!"
Lan Hua moved her right hand in quick succession, unleashing a series of ultimate moves. Countless invisible arrows filled the sky, shooting towards the approaching dark clouds.
"ah…"
Countless screams echoed through the Undying Mountain; those with weaker cultivation were pierced through by a single arrow.
The sky was filled with blood mist.
However, there were too many people seeking revenge, and they surrounded Lan Hua in several layers.
They can't keep shooting, they simply can't keep shooting.
The blood mist soaked Lan Hua's handsome face, fueling his killing intent and causing him to gradually lose his mind, his attacks becoming increasingly brutal.
Even if the whole world despises us, so what?
Lan Hua summoned the Silver Foreshadowing Brush and wielded it in mid-air, creating a massive talisman that enveloped everyone above the platform.
Fu Shengyuan exclaimed in surprise, "No way!"
