Chapter 2329: Easy Completion
This dangerous experience also reminded Ye Liuyun and these people that the strength of the Sacred Land Martial Cultivators and their various treasures are still very dangerous to them.
"Everyone, never underestimate the enemy again!"
The duplicate also gave everyone a reminder.
Then he gathered the corpses and handed them to Lan Xin for disposal.
Now these Martial Cultivators' golden cores, even if given to Monster Beasts, can be processed through the Universal Cauldron into the energy they need, so none is wasted; they are all premium cultivation resources.
The corpses are also food for Demon Beasts and must not be wasted.
The others also returned one after another to Ye Liuyun's Space World, because they have no identification tags; in an unfamiliar place it's better to keep a low profile to avoid trouble.
The duplicate went back alone to Bright Moon City, first found an inn to stay in, then bought a Bright Moon City map from the trade guild and began wandering around the city, familiarizing himself with each location.
He received three assassination contracts from Seven Kill and also went to verify each target.
The three targets are: a casino Administrator, the eldest son of the Mao clan, and a local tyrant.
Seven Kill's information included the usual activity areas where these people appear.
The casino Administrator is the easiest to locate, as he stays in the casino.
But he has many henchmen, making it hard to strike.
Moreover, he is especially cautious, as if he knows someone intends to kill him, constantly watching the people around.
Even when Ye Liuyun passes by the casino, he scans the area with his Divine Sense.
After realizing his cultivation level is low, he stops staring at him.
The local tyrant also has many subordinates, often surrounded by guards who extort protection fees from small local merchants.
He did not encounter the Mao clan's eldest son that afternoon.
The next day the duplicate used the Thousand Illusion Technique to alter his appearance, brought Mo Shaowen and Liu Yang, and revisited the tyrant's territory, drawing the tyrant's attention.
"You all, come over!"
The tyrant directly called out to the duplicate and the others.
"Calling us?"
The duplicate asked knowingly.
"Do you know who I am?
This is my territory..." The duplicate walked toward Ye Liuyun, intending to snatch their Storage Ring directly.
But the duplicate was too lazy to listen to his chatter; when he approached, he had Liu Yang and Mo Shaowen launch a Spiritual Soul Attack, pulling his Soul into the duplicate's Sea of Consciousness.
The duplicate then readied Black Light to strike at any moment; if those guards dared to emit a Soul to block, he would immediately attack and annihilate their Souls.
Earlier the duplicate used Black Light to eliminate a powerful Soul, thus requiring Divine Soul Power to replenish.
Therefore he launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on the tyrant.
But he overestimated those guards; after all, he's just a tyrant, and no guard is willing to take such a risk for him.
Thus the duplicate's Soul immediately attacked the tyrant's Soul, with thunder and Nether Ghost Fire blasting together, then devouring his Divine Soul Power.
Mo Shaowen and Liu Yang's Souls also retreated immediately.
The guards recovered and prepared to act.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
A few muffled sounds.
Several guards' chests were ripped open by a few beast claws.
The duplicate had prearranged Illusion Hand, Shadow, Black Tortoise, and Tiger King invisibility to deal with those guards.
At that moment, the tyrant's Physical Body was suddenly sucked away by a Martial Cultivator who was rushing in at high speed.
"Hahaha, picked up a ready-made bargain!"
The Martial Cultivator laughed, sucked the tyrant's Physical Body into the Storage Ring, and turned to run.
The duplicate couldn't let anyone snatch the prey right under his eyes.
It was clear that the Martial Cultivator was also a Black Kill assassin.
He immediately employed Space Thought Overlap to close in on the Martial Cultivator.
"Seeking death!"
The Martial Cultivator sensed the spatial fluctuation behind him, saw only the duplicate pursuing, and raised his hand to strike backward.
At that moment, a white Technique shot from the duplicate's pupil, striking the Martial Cultivator's head.
Then with a gesture, he sucked the Martial Cultivator into the Storage Ring.
Meanwhile, Illusion Hand, Tiger King and the others had already dealt with those guards, pulling them into the Storage Ring.
"Retreat!"
The duplicate called out, pulled them into the Space World, then donned the Invisibility Cloak and vanished on the spot.
By the time the city patrol soldiers arrived, Ye Liuyun had already fled back to the inn.
When they acted, the surrounding civilians immediately fled in panic, and no one paid attention to their appearances.
Moreover, the locals were eager for the tyrant to die quickly; they were too delighted to even report anything.
Those tyrants and guards were all slain, so no one could provide any clues.
The arriving soldiers only saw bloodstains on the ground and knew a fight had occurred.
They also knew the tyrant's group was here and thought they were causing trouble, so after a while they left.
The duplicate returned to the inn, inspected the Martial Cultivator, decapitated the tyrant, then found the Martial Cultivator's Black Kill insignia, and placed all exchangeable points and resource items into a single Storage Ring.
The remaining resources were handed to Lan Xin.
"The Martial Cultivators here seem quite wealthy!"
Lan Xin also noticed that the recent resources in the Storage Ring far exceed those of the Divine Realm's Martial Cultivators.
Hmm.
After completing the mission, I'll go look for the alchemy masters here who refine pills and artifacts.
After the clone and others devoured that tyrant's Soul, they once again donned the Invisibility Cloak and left the inn, then outside reshaped into a gambler's appearance, removed the Invisibility Cloak, released Mo Shaowen, and rushed together toward the casino.
At the casino, Mo Shaowen used illusion techniques to control the Administrator, and Ye Liuyun struck directly at his Soul.
The Administrator's Divine Soul Power is relatively weak, so Ye Liuyun feels more confident.
As for the casino's thugs, Ye Liuyun assigned them to the Illusion Hand, shadows and other invisible people.
Once they moved, the casino immediately descended into chaos.
Many people began to seize chips and Divine Crystals opportunistically.
This time Ye Liuyun annihilated the Administrator's Soul, immediately took away his Physical Body to prevent other assassins from looting it, then promptly brought everyone into the Space World, and, wearing the Invisibility Cloak, withdrew amid the turmoil.
He had just stepped out and not run two steps before spotting patrolling soldiers rushing toward him.
So he immediately stood at the roadside to hide, standing perfectly still.
The patrolling soldiers passed right by him, stormed into the casino, and did not notice him.
Thus, the clone easily completed two assassination missions and also harvested a good amount of resources.
Then, he went straight to the Mao Residence to find the Clan Chief's son.
He first arrived at the Mao family entrance, used his Soul to control a guard there, and learned that the youngster had been staying at home, unwilling to go out, likely because he also knew someone was after him.
The clone did not act immediately, but waited until the guard changed shifts at night, let that guard out, killed him, then reshaped into his appearance and slipped into the residence.
Then he headed straight toward the target's dwelling.
