151: Chapter 151 The Five Major Assassin Organizations—Quicksand

The timing was perfect—not a second more, not a second less. It took exactly three hours for Mu Cheng to refine the remnant soul of the Demon Butcher.

"Is this... has it started?" Mu Cheng woke up and found himself in a forest.

Yue Chan nodded and replied, "Mm-hm, it's already begun. It looks like this is the true Ancient Battlefield."

"Brother Cheng, I've finally managed to contact you. We're currently in the Ancient City."

A moment later, Mu Cheng received a message from Gu Na.

Mu Cheng replied immediately, "Got it. I'm heading to the Ancient City right now."

Just after sending it, he suddenly realized something and looked bewildered. "Wait... aren't we already in the Ancient City?"

"Of course not. The Ancient City is on the edge of the Ancient Battlefield. That's where the gods messengers are selected from," Yue Chan said while studying the rules.

This time, the Ancient Battlefield was different from usual; it was in holdout mode...

"Defending the Ancient City? Even after the gods messengers are selected, they still need to compete? What a hassle," Mu Cheng said, becoming a bit impatient as he looked at the rules.

It hadn't even started when they entered; they simply kept heading east, and only upon reaching the east did they learn that the Ancient Battlefield hadn't actually begun yet.

Now there was another requirement to hold the Ancient City, where the sixteen people with the highest points would be selected to compete again.

"Wait... don't tell me this is another setup?" He suddenly reacted, feeling highly suspicious.

A Black Hole Energy Source was something at the level of a Great High Priest, yet he had obtained it so easily... If this wasn't a setup, what was?

In fact... Mu Cheng was now one hundred percent convinced that the information about the legends in the high-tech bracelet was true.

Of course, he was also very puzzled as to why such terrifying existences would appear on Blue-White Star.

Yue Chan: "There's no gravity suppression here, but our Bloodline Power is restricted to the Ninth Order Peak. I suspect... this holdout won't be that simple."

"Regardless... let's head to the Ancient City first," Mu Cheng said after studying the route.

The Ancient City.

"The people here... must have lived here for a long time! These city walls are so dilapidated; I'm curious what could have caused this," Gu Na said slowly.

The Ancient City was quite large, but the city walls, which were less than twenty meters high, were almost on the verge of collapsing.

But what was strange was that the people here lived very comfortably, laughing and talking.

Chu Yaoyao also found it very strange. "Setting that aside, there are at least a thousand outsiders, right? Why are there no names on the leaderboard yet?"

"Maybe it only updates every once in a while! Otherwise, with over a thousand people, how could no one be on the board?" Tao Shuishui had just finished speaking.

She was instantly proven wrong as names appeared on the leaderboard.

1st Place: Xiao Luolu, 108,611 points

2nd Place: Xiao Mingming, 107,099 points

3rd Place: Xiao Huihui, 107,010 points

4th Place: Xiao Honghong, 107,010 points

...

"Why do these names feel so familiar?" Tao Mumu looked at them, feeling they were extremely familiar but unable to place them.

Chu Yaoyao: "Could it be The Four Littles of Super-Ability Academy? It couldn't really be them, could it?"

"I remember now. It must be them, The Four Littles of Super-Ability Academy... Otherwise, who else would have the strength to guard this place?" Tao Mumu said as she recalled.

"Regardless... let's wait until Brother Cheng arrives before making any plans," Gu Na didn't think more about it.

This stage of the Ancient Battlefield had a one-month selection period. No matter how high the points of those four were, they didn't have any real advantage yet.

On the other side.

"I guessed right. The top four should be The Four Littles of Super-Ability Academy... powerhouses from the same era as Lu Yunzi," Yue Chan said, looking at the names on the leaderboard.

Mu Cheng didn't really care. "Are they really that powerful? By the way... doesn't all this information come from the high-tech bracelet? Then don't you think there's a possibility that those legends are also true?"

"It's hard to say... Truth and lies are often intertwined. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I really can't believe it," Yue Chan said skeptically.

At this point... she could only be described as half-doubting; she didn't believe it, but she couldn't entirely dismiss it either.

"Fine! I can't win an argument with you," Mu Cheng didn't say anything more.

For him, he could practically walk all over monsters now, so he didn't need to worry at all.

There was no other way... that was the power of the Devouring Bloodline. Even when facing Ninth Order Peak monsters, he could still easily crush them.

In fact, he had also thought about this: why was it that he had no problem dealing with Ninth Order Peak monsters, yet if he had to fight a person...

He suspected even Yue Chan... could probably beat him up.

The two continued forward through the forest, but the surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet. Even Dun Dun was very still in Yue Chan's arms.

"There shouldn't be any danger, right?" Mu Cheng became very cautious.

Yue Chan: "It is indeed quite strange, but this little guy is very quiet, so there probably isn't any."

"True, but we should still be careful." Mu Cheng wasn't worried about monsters, but about people.

It was hard to say if Dun Dun could detect people, but he was certain that his hidden hint would not show people.

As they went deeper into the forest...

"So you're the owner of the Devouring Bloodline? After three whole months, you've finally arrived."

As a voice rang out, a group of fierce-looking people surrounded Yue Chan and Mu Cheng.

Leading them was a man in white ancient-style clothing, looking elegant as he stood atop a leaf.

"You're from Quicksand. It seems the four great assassin organizations have already colluded with the Demon God," Yue Chan recognized them at a glance.

"You've got a good eye, little girl. I am Bai Feng of Quicksand. It's not quite collusion; we're just each getting what we need," the man in white said, in no hurry to strike.

"If you want to fight, then come! Do you think we're afraid of you? Today, we'll act on behalf of heaven," Yue Chan tossed Dun Dun aside, and the green lotus sword appeared in her hand.

In an instant, she released a terrifying sword qi.

Bai Feng laughed, a loud, booming laugh. "A fine way to put it! 'Acting on behalf of heaven,' indeed!"

"Why don't you go ask the so-called Eight Great Families what they are up to right now?"

"Enough, enough, you talk too much. If you want to fight, then let's go!" Mu Cheng didn't waste any more words.

He instantly released his battle qi, and qianji transformed into a long spear.

"Take them down. Remember, they must be alive, or else you'll face the consequences!" Bai Feng ordered without moving himself.

Soon, sixteen Men in Black began to release their Bloodline Power. Before long, they formed a Talisman Array that trapped Mu Cheng and Yue Chan.

"What... are they planning to do?" Mu Cheng asked, unable to figure it out.

Yue Chan: "How should I know? They want us alive... wait, that probably isn't it either!"

As a faction from the previous generation, when had the Five Great Assassin Organizations ever not aimed for the target's death?

Yet this time, they specifically wanted them alive.

"Whatever, let's break this Talisman Array first." Mu Cheng didn't think much more about it. Since they wanted them alive...

Now that they were in a passive position, Mu Cheng could naturally use his full strength without any reservations!
