Chapter 1232 Experimental Material
The Dark Cloud Pavilion Master stood on the hidden thirteen floors of his pavilion, overlooking the city. Although a mist still surrounded him, any discerning individual could detect his slightly restless mood. He suddenly sensed something somewhere in the city.
Although it was brief and swiftly disappeared, he sensed one of his people somewhere they should not be. 'Was I right? Did something happen to my people?' He resisted his first instinct to immediately check out and, instead, sent a communication talisman to assemble the Dark Mists Assassins.
Not even ten seconds passed before countless mist shadows materialized behind him.
"Master!" They said in perfect synchronized voices.
"Some rats have infiltrated our order. Let's remove them," the Pavilion Master ordered, and the group answered: "As you wish." Everyone disappeared from their locations. The Pavilion Master led them to a house hidden underground in the worst area of this city where only mortals lived.
'Whoever picked this location chose an excellent spot, and the protection around this hidden base was also well done,' the Pavilion Master sneered. He expected as much from someone who may have successfully corrupted his men against him. However, it did not matter how capable the person was or who was behind them; he would eradicate this threat as soon as possible.
'I hope it's one of the other pavilions so I can use this excuse to extort resources from them,' the Dark Cloud Pavilion Master thought as he ordered his people to break in. As expected, the people inside resisted, using the formation in this base to fight them off. However, it was useless as the Dark Mist Assassins slaughtered everyone in sight. Most of these people were weak, which was normal since it was easier to detect people with higher cultivation when entering the city. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.comething is wrong,' thought the Pavilion Master. Things proceeded too easily and too smoothly. He ordered his people to be careful, and on their guard since something major might be coming once they arrived at the core of this base. However, the Pavilion Master was not prepared for what he saw inside. A handsome man with gray hair and eyes waited for him, with all the members of his Law Enforcement Hall standing behind him.
The Dark Cloud Pavilion Master immediately realized this was a trap and wanted to leave, but it was too late. His divine sense warned him that the room was now in an isolated dimension with potent arrays preventing their exit. He then calmed down, faced his opponent, and asked: "Who are you?"
Wang Wei did not answer him but looked intently at the Dark Cloud Pavilion Master and the Dark Mist Assassins.
"You have the rare Dark Mist Qi, which boosts assassin-related skills and allows its user to share the Qi with others, forming a bond similar to that of a hive-mind. The primary holder of the Qi has absolute control over the secondary holders; they can also perfectly sync with them, read their minds, and share abilities.
The Inner Hall belonged to the Dark Mist Assassins, or people close to him, while the Outer Hall recruited foreigners who served as assassin mercenaries. Anyone can join the Assassin Hall; they complete missions and receive resources as compensation. The pavilion will even invite talented individuals to join the Inner Hall; thus, this hall also serves as a recruiting method.
Wang Wei controlled the Pavilion Master to activate the [Supreme Summon], which is a rare event in which the pavilion demanded all the outer members to show up for an important meeting. This was the only mandatory thing in the Outer Hall, and anyone who refused the call could forfeit their identity. Based on the situation, these people might be blacklisted from the entire Lawless Zone.
With this massive summon, assassins as low as Iron and as high as Gold swiftly headed to the Dark Cloud Pavilion. Sadly, they were walking into a lion's den. Wang Wei showed no mercy and controlled these people, forcing them into his servitude. Once everything was under control, he prepared to head to the Green Earth Pavilion when he received a talisman from Mongke.
"Did something happen?" Wang Wei read the information, and soon afterward, the space between him opened a portal to release something.
...
Mongke traveled to a small planet. At first glance, this planet seemed beautiful and could be described as a heavenly paradise. The mortals were happy, had plenty to eat, and lived fulfilling lives. However, only a few people knew this was just a facade. Mongke teleported directly to a towering mountain surrounded by a mist.
As soon as he arrived, the mist on top of the mountain receded, showing a woman who embodies the idea of a demoness. She wore a long white robe that trailed behind her, but her hair was abnormally dark — it could be described as Vanta black.
She used a dark green powder to shade her lips, and her pointy nails were purple-black. The Poison Demoness looked down the mountain with her violent eyes.
"Barbarian King? Why are you here?" she asked before suddenly remembering something. "I heard you were defeated yesterday." She did not hide the schadenfreude from her voice. "Are you here to get some poison from me to defeat your opponent?"
"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Mongke rebutted.
"True," nodded the demoness. "So, what's your purpose here? I haven't cultivated a new batch of poisons that are somewhat effective for your body tempering." Her voice contained a hint of annoyance and embarrassment at the last sentence.
"I'm here on behalf of the new lord I serve under," Mongke said calmly, making the demoness squint her eyes.
"Surrender or be forced to do so."
