Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!-Chapter 874 - 320: Climbing to the Fourth Place on the Tianjiao List, The Plan to Save Qingyunzi!_2

Chapter 874: Chapter 320: Climbing to the Fourth Place on the Tianjiao List, The Plan to Save Qingyunzi!_2

In the Qingyun Realm, the two major native forces were naturally the Qingyun Sect and the Tianyuan Sect!

These two forces belonged to the more orthodox major powers.

However, in the Three Thousand Worlds, not all major powers were on the side of righteousness…

Besides factions like the Descending Sect, which everyone agreed deserved destruction, there were also many forces that were neither completely righteous nor outright evil, or even neutral!

Among these, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Money Guild, and the White Emperor Tower were very famous; these three powers were considered absolutely neutral, hardly ever interfering with conflicts or annexations between cultivator factions.

Aside from the Money Guild, where money talked and could “make a ghost turn a millstone”, if a power was willing to pay a steep price, the Money Guild would also make a move in secret.

...

But the Money Guild was comparatively restrained and thus maintained a rather decent reputation in the Cultivation World.

The truly profit-driven and morally ambiguous force was the Wind and Rain Tower!

The Wind and Rain Tower’s founding date was unclear… It became famous initially some eons ago when it accomplished an earth-shattering feat!

They accepted a mission to assassinate a Daluo Golden Immortal!

Although the mission ultimately failed… that Daluo Golden Immortal, after being assassinated and recovering from injuries for a hundred thousand years, reappeared in the Three Thousand Worlds… previously thought to have died and fallen!

With the disappearance of that Daluo Golden Immortal for a hundred thousand years, the power he had established was also devoured and emptied…

After this, the Wind and Rain Tower’s reputation soared!

It became one of the top forces in the Three Thousand Worlds overnight!

Su Xing knew that the assassin code names of the Wind and Rain Tower were divided into ‘Wind’ and ‘Rain’; each code-named assassin was an elite of the Wind and Rain Tower!

As for whether there were higher-ranked assassins above ‘Wind’ and ‘Rain’, Su Xing did not know…

A ‘Rain’ code-named assassin was able to assassinate anyone below the Profound Immortal Realm, including all cultivators in the True Immortal Realm, with a very high success rate!

Assassins code-named ‘Wind’ were even more terrifying, capable of killing even Golden Immortals!

It was rumored that the Wind and Rain Tower accepted missions regardless of the client’s identity or the target’s status; as long as the profit was sufficient, they would carry out the assassination!

Flashes of intelligence crossed Su Xing’s mind as he frowned and said,

“It seems… I’ve made it onto the hit list of the Wind and Rain Tower!”

“The Descending Sect must have paid a steep price to get the Wind and Rain Tower to take action…”

Su Xing felt somewhat troubled.

A single assassination attempt wasn’t much to worry about.

But what concerned Su Xing was that the Wind and Rain Tower’s attempts were relentless!

If the first attempt failed, the Wind and Rain Tower might send even more elite assassins for the next attempt!

That was assuming… the Descending Sect could afford it.

“Things are getting tricky!”

“I don’t know how determined the Descending Sect is to kill me… If they continue to raise the stakes and engage even peak True Immortal Realm or even Profound Immortal Realm cultivators, then I’m really in trouble…”

Su Xing pondered for a moment but had no good solution.

Running away from the Little Qingyun Realm and not proceeding with the plan to save Qing Yunzi felt somewhat unacceptable.

“At this point, all I can do is take one step at a time and be careful…”

After deliberating for a while, Su Xing’s gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel.

[After counter-killing the assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower, you returned to White Emperor City…]

[Soon, your fame spread throughout the entire White Emperor City!]

[In the sixth year, you ascended to the Tianjiao List, ranking eighteenth on the Human List!]

[After making it onto the Tianjiao List, your fame outshone your past!]

[Every cultivator in the Little Qingyun Realm knew of a late-stage Heavenly Immortal-level cultivator who had been targeted for assassination by the Wind and Rain Tower and had successfully counter-killed!]

[It should be noted that it is a rare case for assassins of the Wind and Rain Tower with higher realms to fail when targeting those of lower realms, and to be counter-killed is even rarer throughout history…]

[You quietly sent out people to spread your fame, stealthily cultivating in White Emperor City, waiting for the next opportunity to appear.]

[As time flew by, the tenth year quickly arrived!]

[One day, while purchasing cultivation resources in White Emperor City, a sudden premonition from your Escape Speed talent warned you of danger, followed by a strong murderous intent heading straight for you!]

[Without the slightest hesitation, you instantly released three thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura to guard around you.]

[Then, a terrifying wave of mana swept through the entire western district, destroying hundreds of shops in the vicinity, and the city’s protective Formation was activated instantly!]

[The three thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura, under this mighty wave of mana, were damaged by more than half in an instant…]

[And you too were eroded by the mana, spewing out a mouthful of blood.]

[When you looked up, a black-robed Loose Cultivator was escaping through the air, heading out of White Emperor City!]

[Your heart trembled, the Wind and Rain Tower had made its second move!]

[And this time, they had sent a True Immortal Realm cultivator!]

[You knew that it must have been the Descending Sect increasing the bounty on you, paying an even higher price to engage this True Immortal Realm assassin!]

[And judging by this assassin’s aura and mana, he should be an early-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator!]

[At this moment, several powerful auras rose into the sky from the city, all Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, seemingly rushing to your aid.]

[But you knew that the Wind and Rain Tower assassin had chosen the perfect timing; at this time, the Master of the White Emperor Tower’s sub-tower, the only True Immortal Realm cultivator, was not present in the city.]

[And with only a few Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, it was clearly impossible to stop this True Immortal Realm assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower!]

[Thus, without hesitation, you immediately took a Healing Pill and then chased after the assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower!]

[This True Immortal Realm cultivator had an incredibly swift escape technique; in just a short moment, he fled thousands of miles away, beyond the reach of ordinary Heavenly Immortals.]

[But fortunately, your own Escape Speed was quite remarkable, with Sword Control Technique combined with an initial understanding of the Realm of Sword Dao, you could travel a million miles in a day…]

[You pursued relentlessly and finally, an hour later, caught up to the True Immortal Realm cultivator!]
