In the distant seas south of the mainland, there is a series of islands of varying sizes.
This is the location of the Assassin Alliance headquarters that Jiang Liu was looking for.
The headquarters of the Assassin Alliance is located on this series of the largest islands.
Today, a high-bounty mission suddenly appeared on the Assassin Alliance's mission list.
However, this high-reward mission is not about killing someone, but about finding someone.
Looking for someone? For a martial artist who makes a living by taking on missions from the Assassin Alliance, this is an absolute joke.
However, when they saw the amount of the reward, they no longer thought it was a joke.
Subsequently, this message began to spread wildly among all the assassins.
Then, a large number of assassins flocked to the Assassin Alliance headquarters, requesting to take on missions.
The Assassin Alliance accepts all comers; any assassin registered with the Assassin Alliance can take on a mission.
However, when they learned the details of the mission, they were dumbfounded.
Because their mission target was not the people who went missing in the nearby waters.
They all disappeared on that continent in the far east, and have been missing for quite some time.
However, this is to be expected, since they offered such a high price, the task must be quite challenging.
Immediately, many assassins who had accepted the mission either teamed up or sailed alone, but they all headed towards the mainland.
On a small island at the very edge of the Assassin Alliance headquarters, there are several small buildings that look like the residences of ordinary martial artists.
Who would have thought that these ordinary residences were actually the headquarters of the Wheel King Palace?
However, even though the residence appears to be so ordinary, no one dares to approach it easily.
Because all martial artists who approach this island mysteriously disappear.
Over time, rumors began to circulate that the island was haunted, making people afraid to approach it easily.
The island gradually faded into obscurity and disappeared from public view.
Of course, the Wheel King Palace was not only hidden like this, they also buried the Chakravartin temple deep underground, leaving no trace on the surface.
Because they knew that the biggest weakness that would expose them was the temple and the statues.
Only by hiding them all, and not using them too conspicuously, can one avoid being detected by others.
That should allow them to avoid the misfortunes they suffered on the mainland.
The reason they were being so careful was entirely to prevent the previous misfortune from happening again.
Therefore, even if Jiang Liu came here, if he didn't release his Divine Sense and use the repulsive properties of the Saintly Sky Art Qi and the Blood Saint Art Qi within his body to search for them...
It's unlikely that the headquarters of the Wheel King Palace can be found.
"Brother, why did you put the news of our missing people in the Alliance's mission?" Dongyang Sheng shouted angrily at Dongyang Xian.
Dongyang Xian glanced at Dongyang Sheng, who looked furious, and said slowly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to know the inside story of your nephew's disappearance?"
It turns out that among the four people from the Wheel King Palace who were killed by Jiang Liu, one of them was Dongyang Sheng's nephew.
"Moreover, this decision was made by the Old Ancestor," Dongyang Xian continued.
"Old Ancestor? How did he know about this?" Dongyang Sheng frowned and asked.
"How would he know? Hong'er is one of the Old Ancestor's favorite juniors. He's bound to ask questions since we haven't seen him for so long," Dongyang Xian said helplessly.
"I disagreed with him wanting to go and join in the fun, and now look what happened!" Dongyang Sheng was also quite troubled.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Now that the Old Ancestor has given the order, should you go, or should I send someone else?" Dongyang Xian asked.
The current Wheel King Palace has a total of nine Peak Grandmaster.
They are Ancestor Dongyang Cheng, Palace Master Dongyang Xian, and the seven protectors below him: Dongyang Sheng, Dongyang Hui, Dongyang Yi, Dongyang He, Dongyang Cuo, Dongyang Yu, and Dongyang Wei.
The most mysterious are Dongyang Yu and Dongyang Wei, who rarely show their faces and whose activities are unknown.
This is also why Jiang Liu felt fear. Fortunately, the Wheel King Palace is too far away from the mainland, so it has never invaded the mainland.
But that's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is the Assassin Alliance they formed.
Because this Assassin Alliance is the bridge connecting all the martial artists in this vast sea area.
In order to survive, these warriors had no choice but to desperately accept missions from the Assassin Alliance.
This is because the Wheel King Palace has been secretly plundering the cultivation resources of the martial artists in this sea area.
At the same time, they also threaten the lives of these martial artists from time to time.
Of course, the Wheel King Palace wasn't so kind; they went to such great lengths to help them improve their strength in order to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
In reality, they were just implementing a plan to raise treacherous insects.
Because what they need are high-quality cultivation materials, not those of low-level martial artists.
Therefore, the Wheel King Palace used this method to force these low-level martial artists to consciously cultivate diligently.
As for the occasional disappearance of some high-level martial artists, no one finds it strange.
After all, they're assassins! It's not unusual for them to be killed accidentally or disappear for other reasons, is it?
So for so many years, no one noticed anything was wrong.
I have never heard any rumors about the Wheel King Palace here.
It must be said that the methods employed by the Wheel King Palace are quite ingenious.
Not only did they obtain cultivation resources, they also hid themselves very well.
Most importantly, he has developed himself so well and has so many Peak Grandmaster among his followers.
The reason why the Wheel King Palace has issued a mission to send these assassins into the continent is twofold: first, to find out the truth behind the disappearance of those Grandmaster.
Secondly, it was to test the true strength of the mainland and pave the way for a future attack on the mainland.
Thirdly, it was to muddy the waters on the mainland and thereby ascertain the attitudes of the major powers there.
As for whether there were any other purposes, only the Old Ancestor of the Wheel King Palace would know.
With the issuance of this order from the Wheel King Palace, the entire Assassin Alliance gradually became abuzz.
Gradually, more and more assassins received missions and set sail towards the mainland.
After these assassins from the Assassin Alliance entered the mainland, they quickly caused a great stir, with various assassination and robbery incidents occurring all over the country.
Meanwhile, Jiang Liu, who was rushing towards the Source of the Netherworld, had not yet discovered this.
On his journey, he also encountered some assassins heading to the mainland.
However, most of the assassins he encountered were of low strength, so Jiang Liu didn't pay them any attention.
They assumed these martial artists were simply hunting sea creatures or doing something to make a living in this area.
They never expected that all of these people were heading to the mainland to search for the whereabouts of those Grandmaster.
Moreover, the entire continent will be thrown into chaos because of their arrival.
After several days of continuous diving, the Sea Turtle finally reached the waters around Yao Guang Island.
