"It's been quite lively online lately!" Heavenly Water Region Aizen said to Zesi with a smile.
"It's certainly quite lively." Zeszes has recently noticed the online discussions.
If Zesi hadn't known the purpose of the rankings before, he wouldn't have cared.
But after learning about the purpose of the rankings, Zesi couldn't help but pay attention to them.
Although Zesi was somewhat disappointed that his ranking didn't improve, Zesi didn't really care.
"It's not just online anymore. Recently, many internationally notorious assassins have infiltrated District Z, and dozens of people have already died at their hands, especially in Heavenly Water City. Most of those who died were Martial Soul that had been tested this year, and without exception, they all Martial Soul from the One Piece World," Aizen continued.
Upon hearing Aizen's words, Zesi raised an eyebrow and frowned.
He really didn't know that.
"Do you know who did it?" Zesi asked.
It was obvious that these assassins were after him.
In the Divine Desolation World, with his Martial Soul body, Zesi fears no one on the entire Mercury.
Even the number one on the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking, Zesi would not be afraid of.
But in the real world, he's just a weakling.
Although after Martial Soul advances to the Seventh Tier and becomes Transcendent Life, some of its power will be fed back to the body.
Even without learning the Martial Soul Guidance Technique, he can still connect with his Martial Soul and borrow some of Martial Soul power.
But it was only a tiny bit.
At most, it will make him slightly stronger than average.
Compared to those assassins who had cultivated Martial Soul Guidance Technique and were nourished by Martial Soul Power for many years, becoming inhuman beings, Zesi didn't think he had any chance of winning.
"The assassins all come through missions issued by the Assassin Organization Alliance, so naturally they can't know who did it. But thinking about it, it's easy to guess who would be so blatant," Aizen said with a smile.
The Assassin Organization Alliance is an extremely large and ancient dark organization on Mercury.
Moreover, it is likely related to high-ranking Federation officials and some important figures.
Such an ancient organization must have top-notch secrecy.
(cffb) "It seems I'll be away for a while. I'll be leaving the team's affairs to you from now on," Zesi said.
"No problem," Aizen replied calmly.
The next moment, Zesi tapped his foot, and his body transformed into a beam of light, shooting towards the distant sky.
"Haha, the Azure Emperor is in a hurry this time!" Zhou Qian said.
"It's impossible not to be anxious. As the newly Awakening Martial Soul, the Azure Emperor is completely powerless to resist in the real world. He himself, and even his parents and family, are under threat," Aizen said.
"He wouldn't just rush straight to Blood Fortress and the Holy Church, would he?"
"It's quite possible. Regardless, this will definitely shake the entire Divine Desolation World, and it's not impossible that it might even cause the fall of some powerful Martial Soul." "No way, right, just as the Mercury protection period is about to end?" Naruto Uzumaki said.
"Do you think our captain would mind these things?" Aizen asked with a smile.
Blood Fortress, also known as Dark Blood Fortress.
In the West, there are two factions: Light and Dark. The Light faction is led by the Holy Church, while the Dark faction is led by Blood Fortress.
Blood Fortress is a gathering place for a large amount of power from the dark world.
Vampires, werewolves, dark mages, and so on.
It is one of the strongest Martial Soul forces on the entire Mercury.
On this day, the people in Blood Fortress suddenly saw the sky and earth change color in the distance. "What's going on? What happened?" "Is the enemy attacking?"
"Who dares to provoke Blood Fortress? Don't they have a death wish?" Dark clouds gathered in the distance, and the air was filled with immense pressure. Everyone understood that this was no natural phenomenon; the Divine Desolation World was not the Grand Line, where strange celestial phenomena would suddenly appear.
Unless it's in an area with a high density of fantasy elements.
However, the Mercury region is almost entirely in a remote area, with few areas containing high-density fantasy elements.
They knew it was man-made.
They were extremely surprised. Who had the audacity to provoke Blood Fortress and Count Blood Earl?
Just then, they saw a person slowly walking towards them, stepping on the air, in the distance.
He seemed to be walking slowly, yet he appeared before them in the blink of an eye.
"Is this Blood Fortress?" the newcomer asked calmly as he appeared before the group.
"You, you are the Azure Emperor."
The people of Blood Fortress exclaimed in surprise.
If we were to ask who the most influential figure on Mercury is right now, it would undoubtedly be the Azure Emperor. His newly Awakening Martial Soul possesses terrifying strength, and not long ago he even killed an Eighth Tier Troll King.
For a time, his fame even surpassed that of the top three Blood Earl on the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking, who were angered by the Azure Emperor several times.
Therefore, everyone on Blood Fortress recognized the Azure Emperor's appearance.
There are photos of the Azure Emperor on the Martial Soul Forum.
How did he end up here?
"Could it be that you're dissatisfied with your ranking on the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking and are here to challenge the Earl?"
"No way, is he crazy? He came all by himself?"
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
"Looks like we've found the right place!"
As he spoke, an incredibly terrifying aura emanated from him.
The person who arrived was Zesi.
After leaving the Heavenly Water Region, Zesi searched for a long time before finally finding Blood Fortress.
He knew Blood Fortress was to the west, but he didn't know its exact location.
I had to ask many people before I finally found Blood Fortress.
"I heard that Blood Earl is here. Could you go and inform him so he can come over?" Zesi's eyes flashed with an incomparably terrifying aura, causing everyone present to feel fear. Many people were so terrified that their bodies stiffened, unable to move.
