Master Qionghai was a rogue cultivator.
Although he only had three spiritual roots, he cultivated all the way to the third level of the Void Realm through his indomitable perseverance.
In the world of rogue cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, he was an object of emulation and worship for countless rogue cultivators.
What those independent cultivators didn't know was that he was secretly making a living as an assassin.
This time, he received another business deal.
However, he refused when he learned of the target of the assassination, because the target was the Holy Son of the Nine Saints Sect.
Even the strongest rogue cultivator is still a rogue cultivator; they cannot contend with the nine major sects.
Unfortunately, the other party gave too much.
These things are enough for him to break through to the fourth level of the Void Realm.
Therefore, he took the risk and accepted the assassination mission.
According to his assassination habits, he would usually find out everything about his target before taking action.
But this assassination mission was too urgent.
He could only lie low on the route from the Nine Saints Sect to the Xuanming Sect, seeking an opportunity.
He worked as an assassin in secret for many years without being discovered because he obtained a spell to conceal his presence from the cave of a deceased monk.
As long as he lies dormant and doesn't move, even a master of the Dao Integration Realm won't be able to detect his presence.
At this moment, Master Qionghai transformed into a rock through special means. Even if a Dao Integration expert landed beside him, as long as he did not expose himself, the other party would not be able to detect him.
Time passed slowly as we waited.
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the mountain where he was hiding. Immediately afterward, a vast divine sense enveloped the entire mountain.
Feeling the divine thought passing through his body, Master Qionghai was both bewildered and terrified. Why would this Dao-merging powerhouse appear here?
He had a vague feeling that the other party was coming for him!
He was right; the other party was indeed after him.
After learning from You Lin'er's memories that You Xuance had arranged for someone to ambush him on the way, Gao Yan immediately used his precognitive abilities to find the assassin's hiding place.
Then send one of the Dao-aligned disciples who was protecting him to deal with the other party!
"brush!"
The Daoist master appeared in mid-air in a flash, then raised his palm and pressed down. Instantly, the mountain where Master Qionghai was hiding turned into dust.
His transformation into stone seemed extremely abrupt.
"escape!"
Qionghai Zhenren no longer cared about hiding and transformed into a streak of rainbow light, flying towards the distance.
"You think you can escape now that you've fallen into my hands? How naive!"
The Dao-Merging expert who was protecting Gao Yan smiled disdainfully, flicked his finger, and a ray of spiritual light caught up with True Man Qionghai and entered his body, sealing him away!
A powerful cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm appeared in a flash, lifted him up, and disappeared from the spot.
Inside a flying boat, Gao Yan was leisurely drinking Enlightenment Tea with another protector.
A figure flashed by.
In addition, Zunhedao appeared carrying Qionghai Zhenren.
Throwing him to the floor, the Dao-Merging expert flattered him, saying, "Holy Son, you are indeed a man of divine wisdom! Following your directions, I indeed found this person on that mountain!"
Master Qionghai looked completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know I was hiding there?"
Although he accepted the assassination mission, he did not tell his employer where he would carry it out.
Gao Yan didn't even bother with them.
"Holy Son, what do you intend to do with this person?" the Daoist asked.
The two Dao Integration experts that Shangguan Shang assigned to him were named Jiang Huaihai and Li Ganming. The former was at the fifth level of Dao Integration, and the latter was at the seventh level of Dao Integration.
Therefore, it was naturally Jiang Huaihai's job to capture the assassin.
"Old Jiang, you can handle this as you see fit!"
Gao Yan dismissed it, saying it was unacceptable.
He had no interest in subduing a mere assassin at the third level of the Void Realm, since he owned a puppet factory capable of mass-producing Void Realm puppets.
Moreover, with the blessing of good luck, one starts at the sixth level of the Void Realm.
Jiang Huaihai asked Gao Yan because he wanted to know if the Holy Son wanted to subdue this person.
Seeing that Gao Yan had no intention of subduing the other party, he also had murderous intent: "Since the Holy Son doesn't think much of him, then I'll kill him!"
"No! Your Highness, spare my life! Just don't kill me, I'm willing to serve you like a slave!"
Qionghai Zhenren, a rogue cultivator, had no idea what backbone meant. Seeing that he was about to be killed, he immediately chose to admit defeat and surrender.
Seeing how spineless Master Qionghai was.
Gao Yan suddenly changed his mind: "Here's what we'll do. I'll give you a chance. Go and assassinate the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Xuanming Sect. If you can successfully assassinate three Venerables, I might spare your life!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, I am willing!"
Master Qionghai quickly responded.
"Old Jiang, leave something on him, and take it back after he finishes everything!" Gao Yan instructed.
"Yes, Holy Son!"
After leaving his mark on Master Qionghai, Jiang Huaihai sneered, "Boy, I've left a restriction on your soul. Complete the task assigned by the Holy Son within a year and come back to me, or else, prepare to have your soul scattered!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Senior!"
Master Qionghai dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction; on the contrary, he expressed his gratitude!
After sending Master Qionghai away.
The three of them sat together, drinking tea and chatting.
"Holy Son, how did you know the exact location of their hiding place?" Jiang Huaihai asked curiously.
"Old Jiang, have some tea!"
Gao Yan poured Jiang Huaihai a cup of tea before slowly saying, "I possess a supernatural power that allows me to foresee things related to myself!"
Upon hearing this, both Jiang Huaihai and Li Ganming widened their eyes.
Foreseeing the future, even if it is only related to oneself, is an unbelievable thing. You should know that even if the emperor can foresee the future, he can only see a corner of it!
