Chapter 1198: A Painful Interview!
A vast mountain range lay north of the Spirit Inferno Domain. At this moment, a black- cloaked figure flashed past the trees, his cloak tattered and filled with warm blood. It was clear that this person was running from someone or something.
"Just who the hell is that crazy lunatic, and why can't I get rid of him!?!" A husky voice cursed in frustration with a hint of deep fear.
At this moment, the cloaked figure seemed to sense something, as all the fine hair on his body stood with a deep sense of fear. A runic crystal appeared in his hand, and he instantly crushed
it!
The next moment, a barrier appeared around him. As the barrier manifested, multiple dark streaks appeared out of nowhere and directly shot toward him like lightning bolts.
The barrier trembled under the volley of the sharp bolts, and it managed to block most of them, but alas, there were too many. At this moment, the barrier instantly shattered, and those directly landed on the man's body as he instantly let loose a shrill scream filled with gut-wrenching pain.
But strange, those black streaks didn't land on any of his vital as if the attacker was deliberately avoiding them for some reason and didn't want to kill him but just pulverize him.
The man lay on the group as blood gushed out from his body as he cried in pain. He knew he was no match for the other party, and at this moment, in front of him, a graceful figure adorned in black robes and hood above it appeared like a ghostly phantom.
Furthermore, another person was standing behind this hooded figure like a shadow.
The man suppressed his pain as he looked towards the hooded figure in front who had been chasing after him for three days. He didn't think about it at first because of his arrogance, but now, he knew that the other party could've killed him on multiple occasions, yet he somehow managed to escape every time.
"You are not worthy of my revenge. If I wanted to kill you, you would've been dead without even being able to retaliate, and you know it better than anyone." The hooded figure replied dismissively, "But what I want is to join the Fiend Assassin Guild, and I thought the easiest way would be to prove myself to the Vice Guild Leader. So, what do you think, do I qualify to join the Fiend Assassin Guild or do I have to find the Branch Guild Leader?"
Blooded Fiend, who had lived for over five thousand years, was rendered utterly speechless when he heard the reason for the other party to hunt him down for three straight days was to 'prove' herself.
"Y-y-y-you goddam lunatic!" He cursed in resentment and directly vomited blood in anger. At this moment, a dark interface suddenly opened in front of the hooded figure. She heard an emotionless voice speaking in her head, and her pitch-black eyes suddenly widened with shock and pleasant surprise.
This might be the most bloody and painful 'interview' for the 'interviewer' in the history of the Mortal Ascension Heaven!
In the Eastern Guardian Sect City, two cloaked figures were standing in an alleyway of the black market, and they were observing a ten-floor dark tower with crimson rune markings not far away from their position. This dark tower was none other than the branch of the Sea of
Secrets!
"Madam, although we found the Sea of Secrets, how do we join them? From what I gathered from the black market, the Sea of Secrets is an extraordinary place; they won't allow just anyone to enter; they select their 'guests' on their own, and no one knows the criteria. Furthermore, almost everyone wanted to become their guests, even the AIG sect. They are too mysterious and hold unfathomable power." A woman's worried voice rang from one of the cloaked figures as she advised her 'madam' to drop this ridiculous plan.
The 'madam,' however, didn't seem too worried about it at all as she nonchalantly chuckled and replied, "Others might not know their criteria for choosing their guests, but from 'his' words, it's pretty clear they select talented and famous people who have the potential to bring him information. Although it's vague, and there might be more to it, it's still enough to know what they are after.
"But we are not here to become mere 'guests,' instead, we want to join the Sea of Secrets ranks. What we should be thinking about is how to become their member. Ever since I heard about them, I have known what my target is, and you know I like challenges like this."
The next moment, the 'madam' turned around and started walking away from the alleyway, and the other woman quickly followed.
"Since they like gathering information, I need to prove my abilities. Hehe." The madam giggled with anticipation in her voice as her golden eyes shone with excitement.
At this moment, an interface popped up in front of her as she heard the emotionless voice. She was startled before she clicked her tongue: "Even our mighty backer wants me to do the same. Now it's even more interesting!"
