Infinite: 10,000x Cashback System In Cultivation World

Hearing Wang Xiong’s question, Senior Chen didn’t answer immediately.

The hall fell into a deathly silence. The black clad assassins behind the old man lowered their heads even further, their breathing becoming extremely shallow.

”Fail?”

Senior Chen finally opened his mouth. His voice was like grinding ice, carrying a chill. ”You actually have the nerve to ask me why it failed?”

Boom!

Without any warning, a terrifying, mountain like pressure suddenly erupted from Senior Chen’s thin body. The air in the main hall instantly solidified, turning into a visible, suffocating vortex of spiritual energy.

Wang Xiong’s expression changed drastically. He was only at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm. In front of a Peak Core Formation Realm expert, he was no different from an ant. His knees buckled, and he was forced to his knees with a loud thud, his face turned pale as blood vessels burst in his eyes from the sheer weight of the aura.

”Se... Senior Chen! Please, Please have mercy!” Wang Xiong gasped, struggling to keep his head up, his arrogance completely shattered.

”Mercy?” Senior Chen sneered, his eyes flashing with a terrifying, murderous gleam. ”When you hired my people for Heaven’s Table, you patted your chest and guaranteed that the assassination attempt would be easy! You told me the opponent was nothing more than a rich, foolish young master playing a merchant. You said he was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!”

Senior Chen took a step forward, the wooden floorboards cracked under his foot.

”But what happened?!” Senior Chen’s voice suddenly rose. ”That same ’fat sheep’ slaughtered my four precious disciples! Four of them! All of at Foundation Establishment Realm, wiped out in less than a day of time!”

Wang Xiong’s pupils contracted in sheer shock. ”Four... four of your disciples died? But... but I heard that Young Master Yu only has a few bodyguards...”

”Bodyguards? You blind fool!” Senior Chen laughed coldly. ”You dare say my information is false? Do you even know who you’re dealing with?”

His voice turned colder as he continued, ”The Blood River Assassination Guild belongs to me. Do you think I became its leader by relying on a few easy jobs? I’ve been walking through blood and corpses since I was ten years old. People like you wouldn’t even have the courage to look me in the eye if you knew who was standing in front of you.”

Wang Xiong’s heart stopped. He knew the senior was from the Blood River Assassination Guild. The mere name of that underground organization was enough to make the entire city’s big shots tremble. Only now clarity fully returned to him. He had actually tried to talk back to the master of the guild?! He was practically begging for death.

”Originally, I was in a very good mood,” Senior Chen continued, his tone dropping low and deep. ”I just emerged from three years of seclusion after successfully breaking through to the Peak Core Formation Realm. My lifespan has increased, and my cultivation has reached a new height. I was planning to enjoy the life and promotion.”

Senior Chen’s eyes turned completely bloodshot, the spiritual energy around him beginning to violently swirl, tearing at the furniture and curtains in the hall.

”But what news did I get the moment I stepped out of seclusion?! That my four precious disciples, whom I personally trained, were butchered like dogs! Because of your stupidity and arrogance, my Blood River Assassination Guild has suffered a massive loss of face!”

Wang Xiong was trembling so hard his teeth were chattering. He kowtowed frantically against the broken floorboards. ”Senior! Senior Chen! I was blind! I was ignorant! Please, I will compensate you! I will give you all the remaining spiritual stones in the restaurant’s vault—”

”Shut up!”

Senior Chen raised a hand, cutting him off. The violent spiritual energy in the hall suddenly converged back into his body. He straightened his back. A majestic aura swept across the room, making everyone feel the terror.

”Since my disciples died, I will use their blood and sacrifice their souls. Since my Blood River Assassination Guild lost face, I will use his head to restore it.”

Senior Chen’s voice was now completely devoid of human emotion.

”Today is the day that Heaven’s Table will see blood! I, Chen Tianyou, will personally—”

”Hehe... Ahahaha...”

Just as Senior Chen was about to unleash his killing intent, a sudden sound interrupted him.

It was a soft, pleasant laugh, clear and almost delicate. The sound felt strangely out of place in the blood soaked, tense atmosphere.

But the moment this laughter rang out, the entire hall froze.

Wang Xiong, Lin Ao, and the dozens of black clad assassins instantly turned their heads, their eyes wide with shock.

Standing right in the middle of the hall, between the kneeling Wang Xiong and the Senior Chen, was a girl.

She looked about eighteen or nineteen, wearing a simple but elegant light green dress. Her skin was as white as jade, her features exquisite to the point of being otherworldly, and a pair of bright, starry eyes were curving into a crescent moon as she laughed. She looked like a fairy who had wandered into the mortal realm.

But no one was admiring her beauty.

Because at this moment, a wave of absolute, bone chilling horror was washing over Senior Chen’s heart. His face, which was previously filled with majestic killing intent, instantly turned ashen as if he has seen a ghost.

How?

This was the only thought screaming in Senior Chen’s mind.

He was a Peak Core Formation Realm expert! His spiritual sense was like a radar that covered every single inch of the Golden Phoenix Restaurant. He could sense the flight of a mosquito, the falling of a lead from the outside tree.

But this girl... she was just standing there.

There werr no fluctuations whatsoever. Not even sound of footsteps. She hadn’t broken in too, she hadn’t used a movement technique either. It was as if she had simply always been there.

Even he, a Peak Core Formation Realm overlord, hadn’t noticed her approach until she decided to let out a laughter.

’Monster... This is a terrifying monster who completely shatters everything I thought I knew about cultivation.’

Senior Chen’s throat bobbed. The killing intent he had just built up, instantly scattered without a trace. His hands, which had just been ready to summon a technique, began to tremble uncontrollably at his sides.
