"How did this happen?" An Immortal Lord slamd his hand onto a table, shattering it.
Projected before him was an image of the Immortal Emperor sent by the Mission Hall to spy on Blood Sword and, if possible, kill him.
"I don’t know, my lord. One mont, I was working to find a connection between Blood Sword and the Renegade Hunter. Next, an anonymous account posted a thread that included not only my true identity but also the assassinations I had perford in the past, and even my connection to the Warrior Tower.
If I hadn’t seen it early, there is a good chance I wouldn’t be speaking with you right now." He paused and sighed before adding, "It is strange how soone could know all those things. It was as if they knew personally."
"That is indeed strange. But you don’t think I had anything to do with that?"
"Of course not, my lord. I have known you all my life. You trained and nurtured , so my trust in you is unquestioned.
However, we also cannot deny the fact that soone leaked my information, and the only way that could happen is if we have a mole."
There was no jumping to conclusions, but the only logical explanation was that a mole was among them.
There are many kinds of spy units in the warrior tower; however, this unit of spies was under the command of only one Supre Elder.
He managed everything, and so there was just no way any other Supre Elder would have the faintest idea of who was within this spy unit.
So the only way a mber of their unit would be exposed would be if soone with sufficient clearance leaked them. But to find the mole right now would be hard.
Aside from this Immortal Lord, there were six others, each with their own reputation. Accusing the wrong one was not going to end well.
"Find a safe place and remain hidden there for now. I will look for a way to identify the mole and bring you back safely."
"Okay, my lord, and if there is any consolation, know that Blood Sword and the Renegade Hunter have nothing in common aside from their arrogance and battle power.
From what I have observed, Blood Sword is very insidious and a bit unhinged. It would be best if we didn’t antagonize him. We can also eliminate him quickly to take care of everything.
If he were to grow up, there is a chance he would use any ans necessary to co after us."
"Thanks for the input. I will be in touch." The call ended, and the Immortal Lord sighed.
"I knew they weren’t the sa person, but who am I to persuade a Supre from pursuing his agenda?" He sighed again.
He had trained many spies, and thanks to him, the Warrior Tower had uncovered many chilling discoveries.
So, for one of his best to be exposed like this, there was just no way he wouldn’t be pissed at Supre Elder Juo. But then again, who was he to be pissed at soone who is probably pissed at everyone, considering he wasn’t having a good ti this past week?
Regardless, he had to call and report.
As expected, his boss didn’t take it well.
"Send more and inform the spies on Planet Stella to focus on locating the Renegade Hunter. Since nobody has seen him, there is a chance he isn’t even there. So they should find him."

"Lord Supre, this is a live feed of the Renegade Hunter having afternoon tea with Lord Victor and Lady Rory. It seems he had been on Planet Stella all this while."
"But how..."
"Here is also a video of Blood Sword returning to the arena."
The Immortal Lord wanted to add, "Even an idiot would know they are not the sa person. What then is preventing a sane person like you from coming to the sa conclusion?" However, he loved his life, and so he wouldn’t dare say that.
Supre Elder Juo grit his teeth.
Even with this cloud of hatred blocking his reasoning, seeing the tower videos finally made him take a step back.
But just to be on the safe side, he issued one last order, "Post a 10 billion HC bounty on Blood Sword. Even if he is not the sa person as that brat, he still is a criminal, and so he must be dealt with."
He hung up the call, leaving the Immortal Lord with a calm yet happy expression. Finally, his aimless mission would co to an end.
He quickly made so calls, and right when the clock hit 7 am, a bounty went live. Klaus was the first to see this bounty, sothing that made him grin from ear to ear.
"At this point, the only thing I needed was weapon spirits, so since you have sent them my way, I can only hope when this is said and done, nobody will have any regrets."
Klaus was not scared, mainly because at the peak of the Early Immortal stage, he could finally sense just how monstrous he really was.
Even without using any Immortal Ring, he could sense that a True Immortal would suffer against him.
What then would beco of him when he used his two Immortal Rings and even went ahead to use the Paragon Mark to temporarily take three more from his wives?
If anything, he welcod this challenge because it would finally give him a reason to go all out and cause the underworld to recognise his power even more.
The assassins who saw the bounty began making their moves, so even planning to carry out the job during his next battle. Of course, that would be stupid since entering that arena was a death sentence.
There was just no way Varkos would allow anyone to ss around during a duel. Even if his enemy were to be Klaus, as long as he was fighting in a tournant, even he could not evade the stage and try to kill him.
However, anything can happen, especially with 10 billion Heaven crystals on the line.
anwhile, others who weren’t on Planet Yahmir started moving toward it. The bounty was 10 billion worth of Heaven Crystals. There was just no way they would pass up on such a bounty.
So they started moving to planet Yahmir, and soon, it would be them against the legendary Blood Sword, who would finally reveal his true nature to everyone.
As the saying goes, there is always sothing up the sleeve of an evil man.
The day started with more deaths, and by the ti the clock struck 9 pm, the first round of battles ended. 128 criminals started, but only 64 made it out alive.
The deaths were on another level, and that was evident in how much people loved it. The more deaths, the happier they got.
It was chilling to see such an enthusiastic sight when death was happening all around. However, who could bla them?
Before the second day of the tournant ended, the lineup for the next day was displayed.
Klaus was paired against the 13th champion of the Blood Tournant. He was a lad nad Silas Keth, but to the rest of the underworld, he was known only as the Shadow Reaper.
From what Klaus and Icon could find, he had already ford four immortal rings and could harness the power of darkness on an unprecedented level.
He was among the top 10 most dangerous opponents Klaus would be facing in this tournant.
The next day, they started the opening battle.
