Zuo Dao removed the storage ring from Li Yunqi's right middle finger as instructed and handed it to Wang Xiaoqiang. The others then also went to collect the spoils—storage rings.
The storage rings of the two evil cultivators, including those of the dead assassins of the Wind Rain Pavilion, were all taken and handed over to Wang Xiaoqiang,
Wang Xiaoqiang casually tossed them into his Suru Ring, then with a commanding voice amplified by power, issued orders throughout the Heavenly Killing Sect: "Listen up, all mbers of the Heavenly Killing Sect. The Heavenly Killing Ancestor conspired with the Evil Immortal and faced righteous retribution. None of you are to leave the Heavenly Killing Sect; await the Wind Rain Pavilion's decision. Anyone who leaves will be executed without rcy."
The voice bood like thunder, resounding mightily, shaking the entire structure of the Heavenly Killing Sect.
Every disciple of the Heavenly Killing Sect froze in fear, none daring to utter a sound, much less flee from the sect.
After speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang led the five others away from the Wind Rain Pavilion and found a secluded spot to begin 'dividing the loot'.
Wang Xiaoqiang took out all the collected storage rings, perford the blood-recognition binding, and then extracted all the contents, finding a considerable haul. Aside from clothes, food, and water, most were Condensation Pills and Golden Silk.
Condensation Pills are special pills used by Daluo Golden Immortals to quickly condense Immortal Liquid, extrely precious.
Wang Xiaoqiang swept his divine sense over them to count: over seven hundred Liquid Gathering Pills and more than twelve hundred pieces of Golden Silk.
Wang Xiaoqiang adhered to the principle of fair distribution, dividing the over seven hundred Liquid Gathering Pills into six parts, and the more than twelve hundred pieces of Golden Silk into six parts as well, reassigning the extra hundred-plus Liquid Gathering Pills and dozens of pieces of Golden Silk.
At this point, Ling Xuefei said, "Leader, there's no need to divide anymore. It's troubleso, and besides, such a small amount isn't significant. You're the leader, you made the greatest contribution this ti, it's only right you take more... I believe no one has any objection, right?"
As Ling Xuefei spoke, her beautiful eyes swept over the group, and imdiately the other four n all agreed, "Yes, the leader made the greatest contribution, it's only fair."
Wang Xiaoqiang did not refuse, keeping the excess of over a hundred Liquid Gathering Pills and dozens of pieces of Golden Silk for himself, then everyone took their own share.
"Alright, we've eradicated the Evil Immortal and executed the Heavenly Killing Ancestor, which ans we've successfully completed our mission. I'm sure we'll receive ample rewards upon returning to the Wind Rain Pavilion," Wang Xiaoqiang exhaled deeply, happily saying, "But compared to the rewards, what I value more is all of you. Through this operation, I've co to know you and consider you friends. I hope you don't see as an outsider either. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just speak up..."
As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, his gaze shifted, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Ling Xuefei and Zuo Dao, the aning clear: I consider only you two as friends.
The two instantly understood. Ling Xuefei averted her gaze sowhat shyly, and Zuo Dao, clasping his fist, said, "Leader, from now on, we're brothers. We share hardships and enjoy successes together. If you need anything, just ask..."
Zuo Dao hadn't finished speaking when Tianhuo, Long Mu, and the remaining assassin from the second group all clenched their fists towards Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Big Brother Qiang, if you need anything in the future, just speak up..."
Being called big brother by a centenarian and two middle-aged n felt rather awkward for Wang Xiaoqiang,
However, he didn't actually agree to have these three as his young followers; Tianhuo and Long Mu were like plants swaying in the wind, not worth relying on,
The mber of the second group, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't know well, so he wouldn't accept him either. He simply clasped his fists lightly and said, "You three are too courteous; you're all older than , Wang Xiaoqiang. Truly, if it cos to calling soone, I should call you big brothers... If you three brothers need anything, just command younger brother..."
Given Wang Xiaoqiang's strength, he was undoubtedly the strongest among the assassins of the Wind Rain Pavilion. If they could make friends with him and gain his favor, life would get much better. The three showed expressions of slight disappointnt upon hearing this, as it was clear Wang Xiaoqiang was unwilling to beco closely involved with them.
Subsequently, under Wang Xiaoqiang's lead, the assassins returned to the Wind Rain Pavilion. On their way back, Wang Xiaoqiang released half of the Spiritual Spring within him, disguising himself as a cultivator of the Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm.
...
On the Wind Rain Pavilion.
The sect leader and deputy tower master, along with two administrators, stood on the pavilion, leaning against the railing, awaiting the assassins' return. An Evil Immortal mingling in the orthodox cultivators' territory and collaborating with them was a matter of great significance. If Biluo Heavenly Emperor found out, it would certainly result in charges of dereliction against them, possibly resulting in them losing their positions.
It's been three days and one night. The assassins have not yet returned.
That night, the four of them did not sleep, standing on the pavilion all night, waiting all night.
At dawn.
A group of figures flew from the horizon.
Ann Qilang pointed to the figures in the sky and joyfully said, "They're back."
"Only six returned; did sothing happen to the other four?"
"Did they complete the mission?"
"Let's not make random guesses," the sect leader Black Whirlwind instructed. "Invite them into the first-floor hall, then seal the entire hall with a restriction."
...
Three minutes later.
First-floor hall.
The entire hall had been sealed with a restriction.
In the center of the hall.
Wang Xiaoqiang and six assassins stood in a row. Wang Xiaoqiang took out the heads of the Red-Haired Evil Immortal and the Heavenly Killing Ancestor, with Zuo Dao also placing the head of the White-Haired Evil Immortal on the ground.
Wang Xiaoqiang then recounted the execution of the mission, though omitting so minor details, like the competition between the two groups lasting three days, or the matter of 'dividing the loot' afterwards.
After listening to Wang Xiaoqiang's account, the sect leader, deputy tower master, and two administrators all showed contented expressions. Despite the sacrifice of four assassins' lives, the mission was ultimately completed, considered a success.
The sect leader Black Whirlwind solemnly asked, "No leaks, right?"
"At least we in the first group have none; whether the second group does, I don't know," Wang Xiaoqiang replied.
Black Whirlwind nodded, then said, "Alright. Wang Xiaoqiang stays, others may go rest. Rewards will be distributed to you shortly... Rember to keep this confidential. Anyone leaking information will be executed without rcy."
The five assassins glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang and then left the first-floor hall.
Seeing the deputy tower master and two administrators not leaving, the sect leader Black Whirlwind added, "Did you not understand?? Except for Wang Xiaoqiang, all must leave!!"
"Yes!" the deputy tower master and two administrators responded, casting a puzzled look at Wang Xiaoqiang before leaving the first-floor hall.
"Little Qiang, not bad, haha..." With only the two of them left in the hall, the sect leader Black Whirlwind approached Wang Xiaoqiang, patting his shoulder, then unexpectedly broke into laughter, though his corpse-like face made the laughter neither lively nor pleasant—it was actually frightening, and at night it would surely terrify soone to death.
Seeing that horrifying smile, Wang Xiaoqiang's stomach churned, and he nearly vomited.
"Little Qiang, your cultivation base isn't just this, is it? Can an Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm slay an Evil Immortal?" Black Whirlwind's smile suddenly vanished, becoming serious and severe.
