Chapter 158: Initial Movement

  On the road, Klaes told Elder Er about Tianxin's actions and movements in detail for a month.

  "Elder Chel, if you intervene, what are the chances that the people of Lieyan City won't find out?" He De asked with a furrowed brow, turning sideways to Elder Chel with a respectful expression.

  The organization includes Hert, and only five people know that the main artifact has appeared on the Dragon God Continent, and Elder Chir is one of them.

  Heard didn't know what kind of identity Chel Elder was in the organization, only knowing that his strength was very strong and his position in the organization was very high. He followed him to protect him, all because of the order of the Lord of the Divine Realm.

  The soul of Gu Li was also stripped away by this powerful top-tier demigod, allowing him to merge.

  In the organization, apart from the leader, He De's greatest reliance was this mysterious elder, and He De would not ignore his opinion.

  Besides, he wasn't too familiar with the cultivation world and needed the elder's opinion.

  "Kill that guy who asks too many questions, don't let the people of Lieyan City find out. It's easy, I have plenty of dark-element poison to do it. But wanting to take action and catch him, then quietly take him away, this is very difficult."

  Hurd looked at Chell with some incredulity.

  Cherlong is a top-tier demigod, the best at assassination among the dark system's top-tier demigods, and also one of the strongest among them. As for Qīng Tiān, he was just a lower-ranked demigod who had only recently advanced to that level.

  "As soon as we entered Flame City, we were targeted." Cher explained.

  "If there's even a slight movement in Flame City, that old man Crandton will know about it. It won't be easy to take away Tiankong. Something must have happened in Flame City, otherwise the atmosphere wouldn't be so tense. That old man actually prepared five top-tier demigods for me, this treatment is not ordinary."

  Cher said with a sneer.

  Several people in Heerde subconsciously turned their heads and looked around, trying to find out who was staring at them.

  "Alright, you don't need to look anymore. What we say, they can't hear. Although they are following us, they still dare not use their spiritual power to monitor us. Before that Cranton guy figures out our purpose, he won't turn against us. Let's do it, let's do it."

  "Is it possible for us to keep him from interfering with this matter?" Hed asked after a moment of thought.

  "It's tough. The situation in Flame City is special, and the forces behind Klangdon are very strong, no weaker than the organization. Moreover, the relationship between the organization and the forces behind him is not good, even a bit bad."

  "Have you bought it?"

  "One is that we can't come up with something that would move him, and two is that doing so would only attract his attention and that of other forces, which would be counterproductive."

  Cher shook his head and said.

  "What can we do?"

  "Take him down now or wait until he leaves Flame City and then we'll make our move." Cher said with narrowed eyes.

  "Alright, let's wait and see for now. If it really doesn't work out, we'll just have to take him down." Hede said with a gloomy face, nodding his head.

  Except for Dirac, Longli, Feynman and other sixteen lower and intermediate gods of Tianxin, Heerde does not know the new gods of the Dragon God Continent.

  From the magical image, he didn't recognize Ask the Sky.

  Although it's highly unlikely that Asking Heaven is related to the Master Divine Artifact, Hede didn't plan on letting him off, because his intention was to kill the wrong person and not let him go.

  Be able to catch the questioning heaven, it is naturally the best, if can't catch, then kill it.

  Absolutely cannot let news about the main artifact spread in the cultivation world before the seal of the Dragon God Continent disappears, said Hei De quietly.

  As long as the news of the main artifact is not spread, the organization can take the initiative at the first time, and only in this way can the possibility of retrieving the main artifact be maximized.

  If the news gets out, it will attract a large number of powerful forces and top-tier deities, which would be troublesome. Although the organization is very powerful, it is still not enough to confront the entire cultivation world.

  It will be a chaotic battle, and no one knows what the final outcome will be.

  "Lord, 'Ice Moon' has just reported that a group of people have entered Flame City."

  Senriki stood behind the castle owner and said.

  "How many people? What strength?" The city master was shocked and asked in a low voice.

  "A top-tier Archon, thirteen mid-tier Archons, plus the three high-tier Archons who entered Flame City a hundred years ago. In total, there are sixteen high-tier Archons." Senri detailedly said.

  "Who is that top-tier demigod?"

  "Cherl Elder of 'Ice Month'."

  "How did this old guy come? A hundred years ago, the purpose of those three upper-ranking gods entering Flame City was investigated clearly, wasn't it?" The city master raised an eyebrow and said with some surprise.

  This old guy has made his move, what is he here for?

  "Not long after they entered the Blazing City, a lower-ranking deity and a god from the Dragon God Continent came out. These two were sent away by the three of them, while the three people continued to stay behind. Their purpose should be related to the Dragon God Continent. If their goal was just to receive those who came out from the Dragon God Continent, this lineup seemed a bit too grand."

  "What's most astonishing is that among the thirteen upper-ranking deities who have come this time, one of them is actually a lower-ranking deity from the Dragon God Continent a hundred years ago." said Senri Ishizuka.

  "So soon?"

  "It is said that he was several months ago, took seven product medicine into upper position of a lesser deity."

  "Some meaning." The castle owner sneered.

  It seems there's quite a few strange things in here.

  "Not long ago, didn't a lower-ranking deity appear in Longshen Continent? What's going on now?" the city lord asked.

  "He didn't have anything special, a mid-ranking deity from the Long family chatted with him for a bit and gave him ten middle-grade elemental crystals when he left Flame City. He rented a small courtyard in the city to live in. The three upper-ranking deities of 'Ice Moon' haven't contacted him, but they seem to have some interest in him."

  "Keep an eye on their every move and investigate clearly what their purpose is." The city master commanded in a low voice.

  "Yes, Lord of the Castle." Senaka Kiyoshi bowed his head and accepted the order.

  ———————

  "I want to sign up for the hunting squad," said Tianxin.

  Three months later, Tianxin went to a venue in Lieyan City and signed up for a team to hunt the Crystal Beast.

  These three months, Tianxin has been doing quite well.

  From time to time go watch duels, casually place a bet, earn some living expenses.

  Each time Tian Xin's chips are not many, one or two mid-grade elemental crystals, but each time can earn several mid-grade elemental crystals.

  With Tian Xin's eyesight, it's naturally nine out of ten every time.

  Three months later, Tianxin actually made a small profit, nearly thirty mid-grade elemental crystals.

  Tianxin's understanding of Ya Shen's fighting style has also deepened.

  Each time he placed a bet, it was very small, so there was no need to worry about drawing attention from others.

  As for joining a team to hunt down the Crystal Beast, it's not that they need the money, but rather Tian Xin wants to see what the Crystal Beast is all about, and at the same time take care of those few rats.

  Hedda arrived in Lieyan City and secretly observed Tianxin when she was discovered by Tianxin.

  Although it has been a hundred years, Heerde's appearance is still remembered very clearly by Tian Xin.

  Even if he couldn't recall Hede's appearance, Tianxin could still see the sword intent of the Xuanfeng Sword Technique that Hede had cultivated on his body.

  Hed rose from a lower-ranking deity to a higher-ranking one in just a hundred years, and Tianxin wasn't particularly surprised, after all Hed had the support of the main god behind him.

  However, He De's mastery of the Xiao Ling Sword Technique surprised Tian Xin for a moment.

  Since Gu Lü's soul was swallowed by He De, it means that the main god cannot enter the cultivation realm at will either. Tian Xin thought to himself with some relief.

  As for why Hert allowed Goltas' soul to be devoured, Tenjin roughly guessed it.

  Either Hord's soul was a reward from Lord Lanz for his deep trust, or Lord Lanz planned to devour Hord's soul after he became a god.

  But Hurd's fate was of no interest to Tianxin.

  Before He De entered the Divine Realm, he was bound to die. Letting him live for another hundred years was already sufficient kindness, Tian Xin thought to himself.

  "Are you certain you want to join a hunting party?" asked the superior deity in charge of registration, somewhat surprised.

  Lower-ranking demigods going out of the city to hunt down Crystal Beasts is not unheard of, but it's extremely rare. Moreover, most of these demigods are usually at the peak of their lower ranks and only choose to do so in search of a breakthrough.

  It's really rare for someone like Tianxin who has just entered the Lower God Realm to go out of the city and hunt Crystal Beasts.

  Is he going crazy from poverty or was he originally a complete idiot, thought the upper demon.

  But can an idiot cultivate to a lower-ranking deity?

  The superior being shook his head and didn't bother thinking about it anymore.

  "I'm sure." Tianxin nodded and said.

  "Alright then. Conveniently, our little team is still short a few people. And your name?" The Upper Demon God said.

  "Ask Heaven," Tian Xin said.

  "Three days later, gather at the gate of Lieyan City in the morning. If the gathering time has arrived and you haven't arrived yet, it will be considered an automatic abandonment. So you still have three days to consider, and it's not too late to regret." The Upper God said to Tianxin after registration.

  "Alright, I'll be there on time," said Tianxin.

  "Then see you again in three days." The upper-ranking deity smiled and said.

  He didn't expect the attitude of this lower-ranking god in front of him to be so resolute.

  ————————————

  "Lord Hert, I just received news that the one who asked about the heavens has joined the hunting squad and will be leaving the city to hunt Crystal Beasts in three days," Klaus said.

  "I thought he would stay in Lieyan City forever. Although I don't know why his courage is so great, what he relies on, but these are not important, the important thing is that he left the city. As long as he leaves the city, we can catch him."

  "Three days later, we followed them out of the city." Hurd said with a smile.

  "Yes, Lord Hurd."

  "You have Xiao San disguise himself and sign up for that hunting team, and at the same time investigate the strength of that hunting team. If necessary, kill everyone in that hunting team." He De commanded coldly.

  "Yes, I'll go and arrange it right away." Klaes's heart skipped a beat as he hastily replied.
