Chapter 16: The Killer
Du Hongcheng saw the two people coming, and he looked back at the warrior who fell to the ground. "Are they also from here?" the martial artist shook his head, and Du Hongcheng didn't look like he was faking. As they spoke, the two men were already close. One of them, who was slightly taller, took a few quick steps forward. He hugged his fists at Du Hongcheng and said, "Everyone, the two of us are here to join the army, this is a token." With a flip of his hand, he pulled out four six-pointed star-shaped objects. Then he said, "Two of these four tokens are mine and his, and the other two are for the two who have just entered. Du Hongcheng saw this token, and then looked at the martial artist. "This is a token?" the warrior nodded, "You see they all said that this token was sent to me, so we don't need to confirm our identities." Du Hongcheng said to the warrior while asking Zhang Di to lift the seal. The warrior felt the release of his seal. Sit up and move your body. "Since that's the case, then I welcome the four of you to join, the Yu Empire's Assassin Tancheng Branch, we are still the most basic one-star branch here, I am Li Haoyu, the leader of the branch, among the four of you, I already know the two who came first, so what about the next two?" The warrior nodded. Zhang Yuan, who had not spoken, asked, "You said that this is the most basic one-star branch?, so what kind of tasks can we take?"
"The first-level branch can only take targets that don't exceed the rank of non-commissioned officer," the warrior replied.
"So, there must be a two-star branch above the one-star branch, how can we improve the level of the branch, the two of us I am in the late stage of the sergeant level, and he is in the early stage of the Qing level, if it is the task of the first-level branch, it is not something worth looking forward to for the two of us. Zhang Yuan said directly, "I want to know how we can raise the level of the division!"
Li Haoyu froze for a moment, he glanced at the five people present and said, "We calculate the level of the division in this way internally, there are promotions and decreases, if there are more than five strong people at the level of non-soldier in the first-level branch, it is the second-level branch, if there are more than ten phase-level powerhouses in the second-level branch, it is the third-level branch, if there are more than five fourth-level powerhouses in the third-level branch, it is the fourth-level branch, and if there are more than ten king-level powerhouses in the fourth-level branch, it is the fifth-level branch. If there is an emperor-level one, join the headquarters. However, on the other hand, if the division is reduced due to the task, the strong will be demoted. For example, if the five fourth-phase powerhouses in the fourth-level division suddenly have one less, then they will be demoted to the third-level division. After a pause, he continued, "Actually, now we can apply for the second-level division, and the five of us are all strong people above the rank of sergeant, but before applying for the division, I still want to know about everyone's abilities." The other four people thought for a moment, and Du Hongcheng asked, "Knowing our abilities, can you guarantee that we won't leak it?" Li Haoyu replied decisively, "Of course, each of us swore to our own tokens that if we leaked the internal affairs of the organization, we would be devoured by ten thousand thunders. Saying that, he took out his six-pointed star and raised it above his head with mana, and he said solemnly, "Today, I swear in the name of my Li Haoyu that I will never divulge anything related to the organization, and at the same time, I will not mention all the secrets of my branch to the outside world. After speaking, the six-pointed star emitted a white light to connect the heaven and earth and Li Haoyu's body, and Du Hongcheng and the four of them could feel that an invisible force between heaven and earth had enveloped Li Haoyu's body. After doing this, Li Haoyu looked at Du Hongcheng and the four of them, and these four people also imitated Li Haoyu and began to swear.
At the end of the oath, Li Haoyu said to the four of them, "You are all here to join the army, and our organization is part of the army. But everyone can tell from the name that we are actually a killer!" As soon as these words came out, the four of them reacted differently. Du Hongcheng's face was calm, but he was thinking in his heart, Zhang Di stood behind him, not saying a word. Wang Nan's face was grim, while Zhang Yuan was calm and there was a hint of excitement flashing. Li Haoyu's gaze swept over the faces of the four of them one by one, "Everyone should understand that we can't directly participate in the battlefield, because this will cause a large number of deaths for ordinary people. So we can only participate in the war as killers, and we assassinate monks. Du Hongcheng's faces softened a little after hearing this, after all, they were monks, and they would definitely not make a move on ordinary people. Du Hongcheng asked Li Haoyu, "How do you usually contact your superiors?" Li Haoyu made a gesture to follow me and walked towards the center of the village.
A statue stands there, the owner of the statue is very ordinary is the head of the Yu family, Du Hongcheng noticed it when he fought with Li Haoyu before, although his current strength is not strong, but to say that it is very simple to destroy some ordinary stones. But the statue was not damaged in the slightest after being hit by him, he had doubts before, but he couldn't find out because he was going to fight with Li Haoyu, and now he saw that there was really something wrong with the statue.
Li Haoyu walked to the statue and stopped, turned around and said to the other four: "Since we have sworn together, we are brothers, so it doesn't hurt to tell you the secret of this statue." He paused and said, "This statue is just an appearance, and inside this statue there is a magic circle leading to the headquarters, and with this magic circle, our superiors often give us tasks. However, ladies and gentlemen, we are absolutely not allowed to enter the circle unless the division is destroyed, and on the other hand, the headquarters issues a mission, and only sends a letterhead. But we can enter the headquarters when we upgrade, so let's go. After saying that, he raised his hand and shot out a mana, and the statue slowly separated, and finally a small teleportation array appeared. Du Hongcheng and his entourage of five stepped into it. Originally, Du Hongcheng didn't want to go, but Li Haoyu said that if he wanted to upgrade, he had to go to the headquarters to apply for it together. After having the experience of being besieged by the Leopard Cantis Clan, Du Hongcheng himself has become much more cautious, so he must think about some particularly mysterious places.
This trip to the headquarters, Du Hongcheng must go, he has actually been eyeing this huge force for a long time, if he can finally control here, it will be a great help for him to restore the country, he will not easily leave this organization, and Du Hongcheng does not believe that this organization is made by the Yu family, such a perfect system is difficult to create by the Yu family alone, there must be a shadow of the Holy Land in it. If returning to the Holy Land is not a good thing for him, although the Holy Land will not kill him, it is still possible to put him under house arrest. He didn't dare to bet on the Holy Land's attitude towards a person who would become Emperor Da Nao in the future. From the moment he left the Holy Land, he had no relationship with the Holy Land, and if he were the Holy Land, he would not give a chance to grow up to a person who would be able to threaten his position in the future. Du Hongcheng hesitated in his heart, if this headquarters was in the Holy Land, then he really thought about it. Go, he may not come back. If he doesn't go, how will he integrate into this organization? Just as Du Hongcheng was hesitating, a female voice suddenly sounded in his heart, "Go, with this Purple Cloud Cave Mansion, we will at least not have to worry about our lives, and we are not afraid of house arrest in the Holy Land." Du Hongcheng nodded after listening, this female voice is a hero, her words reminded Du Hongcheng, at the beginning he also thought about hiding in the picture scroll once he was discovered, but how to cultivate like this, you can't store too much yuan power in the picture scroll. So he vetoed the idea, but now it's different, he has the Purple Cloud Cave in his hand, and he just forgot about it. Cultivating in this not only won't worry about resources, but will also get twice the result with half the effort, as long as it is not a few Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses. This cave is impregnable. Thinking of this, Du Hongcheng walked up to the teleportation array, and with a flash of light, the five of them disappeared, leaving only a one-step cultivator who cultivated silently and a silent village.
