We Don't Take Jobs Involving the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

A formation master, at the same cultivation level, may require hundreds of times more resources than other cultivators.

However, similarly, a formation master, under certain circumstances, can be as effective as a thousand opponents of the same level!

In an encounter battle, a formation master's combat power might not even be as good as a sword cultivator of the same level!

There's no way around it... Unless a formation master possesses a super divine artifact like the Formation-Locking Jade, if a formation master and a sword cultivator suddenly encounter each other and the sword cultivator is fast enough, the formation master might be locked down by the sword cultivator before even having time to use any formations, and then entangled and killed.

However, if a formation master is given enough time to prepare and engage in positional warfare, a single formation master can withstand thousands of sword cultivators with their terrifying formations, and may even kill countless of them!

That's what makes array masters so terrifying.

Night Owl knew that Jiu Hai had been famous throughout the Spirit Beast Continent for many years and was one of the powerful figures under Qiu Tian, Demonic Sect Devil Master the Demonic Sect.

The Demonic Sect Spirit Beast Continent has spent a considerable amount of resources to cultivate the Jiu Hai!

And Jiu Hai did not disappoint Qiu Tian. Back when he was only Eighth Rank Jiu Hai, Jiu Hai had created a glorious record of killing three Ninth Rank experts in one night by using a killing formation.

Now that the Four Continents have merged and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has been revived, Jiu Hai has also taken a further step into the Ninth Rank realm.

A Ninth Rank formation master is someone that no other Ninth Rank would dare to offend easily.

Because you've offended a formation master, you can't even imagine what might happen one day when you're inexplicably killed by their formation.

Even if someone kills you, you won't have a way of knowing if it was someone else who did it.

After all, once an array is set up, the array master doesn't necessarily need to stay in one place to control it.

Even if the opponent is thousands of miles away, you can still be killed if you accidentally step into the formation.

So over the years, Qiu Tian has taken down quite a few targets with the help of the Jiu Hai.

What's most infuriating is that even if you're killed by Jiu Hai's formation, you still can't find Jiu Hai's head!

What do you want with them? Do you think they used a magic formation to kill your people?

Jiu Hai means, "Friend... what you're saying doesn't hold water..."

I set up this formation half a month ago. You inexplicably walked into it and died inside. Is that my fault?

What? Are there rules about where a formation master can set up their formation?

Therefore, there is a saying in the Four Continents: "Never easily provoke a formation master. He doesn't need to take action against you personally. As long as he knows in advance where you might go, he can set up a formation there. Then, as long as you go there, you may be killed by him."

And after his formation killed you, you had nowhere to seek justice... because he set up his formation first, and you entered later. Even if everyone knew the formation master was plotting against you, you couldn't do anything about it because his formation was set up first...

What the hell? Why don't you just say you're not going?

Sure... if a formation master sets his sights on you, he will investigate where you might go and then repeatedly place killing formations in those places.

Can you dodge the first day of the lunar month, but can you dodge the fifteenth?

Even if you manage to avoid the fifteenth of the lunar month, what about the second, third, and fourth?

A formation set up by a formation master can fail ten thousand times; even if it fails, it only consumes some resources.

But if he predicts your landing point even once, you're done for...

Over the years, Qiu Tian has killed countless opponents using the Jiu Hai technique...

What the hell? If Jiu Hai is so powerful, why didn't they stop Tantai Jing back then...?

Friend... you may have forgotten that although Tantai Jing 'Tantai Jing array formation ability is not as good as his other abilities, it is probably even better than Jiu Hai's.

Tantai Jing became famous for his battle against the Fengdu Grand Formation!

Although the Fengdu Grand Formation is activated by the Fengdu Token, it also requires the enhancement of Tantai Jing's own array formation talent.

The reason why the Fengdu Token later given to Ma Liang was because Ma Liang's talent in formations was also extremely high.

It can't compare to Innate Formation Mastery, but it's definitely among the top-tier ones.

That's why, even though they are both exceptional talents, people like Ma Liang and Zheng Yu are considered top-tier geniuses.

Because not only are they talented in cultivation, but they are also top-notch in almost every other field. They can master any cultivation method with ease!

While Jiu Hai Dharma Aspect to Jiu Hai like Ma Liang Zheng Yu, and Tantai Jing, he is definitely one of the most famous formation masters in the Spirit Beast Continent.

The Moon Shadow Cult spent a considerable amount of money to get Jiu Hai to help them this time.

The leader of the Moon Shadow Cult personally approached Qiu Tian, requesting that Qiu Tian arrange assassins to help.

"Let's make this clear first, we won't accept anyone related to the Vast Heaven Holy Land!" Although Qiu Tian interested in the deal with the Moon Shadow Cult, he made it clear from the outset that they were not interested.

I still vividly remember that accidental assassination attempt on Chu Xinghe last time...

"Lord Qiu Tian, please rest assured, what merit or ability do we, the Moon Shadow Cult, possess? Even if we had the greatest courage in the world, we would not dare to lay a hand on the people of the Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

"Are you sure?" Qiu Tian asked earnestly.

"Absolutely, absolutely, and without a doubt!" The Moon Shadow Cult said solemnly!

"No... you'd better write a guarantee, just in case we get involved with Vast Heaven Holy Land... I won't even know how I died then..." Qiu Tian said that he really didn't want to take on the job of killing people anymore.

Look at Tantai Jing's side, they're going crazy with killing... all sorts of legitimate businesses are thriving.

Qiu Tian retorted, "Do you think I don't want to do this kind of business?"

There's no way around it, that Tantai Jing too ruthless... Now, the Demonic Sect over there is not only powerful, but also has plenty of money and manpower.

So Qiu Tian's side not only can't compete with Tantai Jing in the market, but they can't beat Tantai Jing in a fight either.

Now, the Demonic Sect Spirit Beast Continent can only live in the shadow of Tantai Jing, barely surviving in the cracks!

Even so, Qiu Tian still wants to change his business. After all, do you think I, Qiu Tian, don't want to do Tantai Jing's business?

Who the hell enjoys fighting and killing and doesn't earn enough?

What? Do we simply enjoy living with our heads on the line?

We'd rather make a killing on a normal basis than do the dirty work or hard labor...

However, the Moon Shadow Cult had taught him far too much... So after much thought, Qiu Tian accepted the task, but on the condition that the Moon Shadow Cult must write a guarantee.

It is clearly stated above that this mission has absolutely nothing to do with the Vast Heaven Holy Land... The Moon Shadow Cult will be fully responsible for any accidents that may occur!

Qiu Tian stated that they would accept any murder contracts, but they would not accept any murder contracts related to the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

After receiving the guarantee from the Moon Shadow Cult, Qiu Tian was relieved!

Qiu Tian said he would try to take on fewer murder jobs in the future. Although he couldn't make as much money as Tantai Jing, Qiu Tian and Tantai Jing had been discussing cooperation for a long time recently.

Tantai Jing's side also intends to give up some less desirable areas for them...

Although Qiu Tian knew that these areas weren't very profitable and even required a lot of effort, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and continue to approach Qiu Tian Tantai Jing.

What the hell? You're saying a Devil Master like me is so shameful?

Friends? Making money... it's not shameful...

"You bastard, stop barking over there and use the Tracking Spirit Orb to locate the target right now!" Jiu Hai looked at the whining Black Sha and spoke with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Although Black Sha hated Jiu Hai intensely, he understood the Black Sha that one must bow one's head when under someone else's roof. In order to avoid suffering, Black Sha endured the pain and got up to activate the Tracking Spirit Orb.

Soon, the Tracking Spirit Orb located the Yue Ling's position!

"Lord Jiu Hai, that seems to be where the Wei City is located... They have already left the Wei City and are continuing north..." Night Owl knew that Jiu Hai might not be very familiar with the terrain here, so he took the initiative to step forward and introduce it.

Jiu Hai looked at the sensible Night Owl beside him and nodded, saying, "Can you deduce where they will inevitably pass through next?"

"Well... I'll give it a try... Their target is the capital..." Night Owl said.

But before Night Owl could speak, Jiu Hai interrupted him, "Them? Night Owl, what do you mean by 'them'... When I arrived, the Devil Master's order was to kill someone named Yue Ling. My mission was only to kill one person, so why are there 'them' here?"

"Oh... Jiu Hai, please don't misunderstand. The target is only one person, but the target hired two useless bodyguards!"

Hearing this, Jiu Hai nodded slightly and said, "I see... What are their cultivation levels?"

"Cultivation level?" Night Owl paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Lord Jiu Hai, I really don't know what their cultivation level is, because we haven't fought them. But according to reliable sources, it cost us three hundred spirit stones to hire them... so you can completely ignore them!"

Upon hearing that two bodyguards were hired for 300 spirit stones, Jiu Hai burst out laughing!

Damn it! Come on... tell me, what kind of junk can you hire for 300 spirit stones?

Do you know how many resources I, Jiu Hai, use in a single attack?

Three hundred spirit stones... Jiu Hai was speechless... No way... This guy's target is only Third Rank cultivator, and he spent three hundred spirit stones to hire two bodyguards. You, Night Owl, are an Eighth Rank cultivator, and Black Sha's side looks like they're at the peak of the Sixth Rank...

You two failed in a row? That's ridiculous!

"Lord Jiu Hai, you may not know this... but this Yue Ling is very strange... I don't know exactly why, but it's just very strange!"

"My lord, look, this is the content of the previous memory crystal. This is Yue Ling and the two bodyguards she hired..."

Jiu Hai spoke, he opened the memory crystal, but after taking one look at it, Jiu Hai was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, and good heavens, he even soaked the ground!

"Ma... Ma Liang... you... are you trying to kill our Demonic Sect? I'll kill you all right now!" Jiu Hai was truly terrified!

Are you guys insane, Moon Shadow Cult?

Let me kill Ma Liang?

Isn't this just too outrageous?

Seeing Jiu Hai so terrified, Black Sha scoffed, "Please take a look. Is this really Ma Liang? Don't just look at this Ma Liang; look at the other one, Chu Xinghe!"

Upon hearing the name Chu Xinghe, Jiu Hai felt his heart leap into his throat!

What the hell? Not only is there Ma Liang, but there's also Chu Xinghe...

Are we here to assassinate someone? Are you sure this isn't some demonic sect from the Spirit Beast Continent Demonic Sect seeking annihilation?

But just as Jiu Hai was terrified and scrambling to run away, he saw Chu Xinghe in the memory crystal, and in an instant, Jiu Hai's trembling heart calmed down!

Because... this Chu Xinghe looks so fake!

Although Jiu Hai has never met Chu Xinghe in person, just look at this Chu Xinghe who's not calm at all, constantly blushing and getting worked up. Could he really be the real Chu Xinghe?
