Chapter 872 - 875: Assassin God Nation

Lu Bai Cha and Dao Feng fought fiercely for half a day, with no clear winner.

Both sides were quite surprised.

But reaching this point, they had to call a truce to avoid the sparring turning into a deadly fight; otherwise, what would they do when the Azure Empire attacks tomorrow?

After exchanging glances, Lu Bai Cha and the others approached Wu Tian, looking at him with respect.

"Could it be that these people are smart enough to see through my identity?" Wu Tian wondered.

"Mr. Wu Tian, we already know your disciple’s cultivation level, and we once had an idea. Do you know what it is?"

After exchanging a glance again, Lu Bai Cha and the others smiled at Wu Tian in front of them.

They had also looked into Wu Tian’s legend; though he was ruthless, those he killed all deserved it.

Moreover, Wu Tian’s skills were genuinely impressive, not only himself but his disciples were extraordinary as well.

"You want... me... to be the Ancestor of Blood Refinement?" Wu Tian stammered, unsure of what to say.

"We’d like to recognize you as our Martial Uncle."

"Yes, indeed."

"If you become brothers with our master, then there won’t be any more conflicts."

While saying this,

Lu Bai Cha and the others were visibly excited. If Wu Tian became their Martial Uncle, they could learn some of his martial arts techniques,

Dao Feng and the others were equally excited, believing that if the Ancestor of Blood Refinement became their Martial Uncle, they could learn his knowledge as well.

Wu Tian furrowed his brow slightly; he knew of similar examples from Earth City’s television dramas, where Snowflower Goddess Dragon, Ancient Wood Heaven, and the Frontier Elder weren’t under the same master, but became sworn brothers due to their respective skills.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Seeing Wu Tian’s furrowed brow, Lu Bai Cha and the others thought he was about to refuse.

"In that case, you could become the Senior Brother, making our master the Junior Brother. We will try our best to persuade our master."

Lu Bai Cha and the others spoke one after another, believing that if the Ancestor of Blood Refinement and Wu Tian, two amazing men, could reconcile, it would be a blessing for the common people.

"You, all of you..." Wu Tian sighed, looking helpless: "I refuse."

What?

Lu Bai Cha and the others were stunned, almost falling over.

You’re offered to be the Senior Brother of the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, and you don’t want it?

Did you say something wrong?

Or did we mishear due to temporary ear trouble?

"How could it be?"

Lu Bai Cha and the others couldn’t believe it, all taken aback.

"I just refuse." Wu Tian said straightforwardly.

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement was actually him; what’s the point of this Senior Brother and Junior Brother business? Is it boring or what?

Without any benefits,

Why would Wu Tian bother?

"Mr. Wu Tian, perhaps we were too rash, so we can give you time to consider. Just give us an answer before tomorrow’s battle, how about that?"

Lu Bai Cha and the others thought they had been reckless, and awkwardly smiled,

"Yes, Sect Leader, you can think it over and give us an answer tomorrow." Dao Feng agreed,

In the eyes of both sides’ disciples, this matter held benefits for them.

"Whatever you say." Wu Tian said lazily; actually, whenever he was asked, Wu Tian would refuse.

"Alright, then we’ll come back tomorrow." Lu Bai Cha and the others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Wu Tian’s words meant there might be a change tomorrow.

They might gain a Martial Uncle or Martial Brother.

After they left, Wu Tian and the others returned to the Royal Palace,

On the way,

"Princess Miaoshan, as a princess from the Immortal Dynasty, do you know about the Assassin God Nation?"

Remembering how Yang Tianzi had told him that Wutian Celestial Emperor’s old acquaintances were mostly hunted by the Assassin God Nation,

Wu Tian couldn’t help but ask,

"This..."

Miaoshan and Master Li the Fortune Teller exchanged a glance, surprised Wu Tian would ask this question,

"You asked the right person. Regarding an existence like the Assassin God Nation, most investigations only uncover those four words. Only a force of the Nine Stars would know more details." Miaoshan hesitated, then spoke gravely: "There’s talk that the Assassin God Nation was founded by the Wutian Celestial Emperor."

"What?"

Wu Tian frowned deeply,

Nonsense,

He had never heard of the Assassin God Nation before. Clearly, it emerged after he had left the Immortal Emperor Realm.

And the Assassin God Nation was hunting his old acquaintances, what could it possibly have to do with him?

"Yes, what we at the Shen Xiang Sect learned is the same." To Wu Tian’s surprise, Master Li said the same,

"The Assassin God Nation is not one of the Nine Stars; it’s a power from the Upper Realm." Miaoshan continued seriously,

"A power from the Upper Realm." Wu Tian’s eyes gleamed sharply,

He now wanted to know who was leveraging his name as the Wutian Celestial Emperor to establish the Assassin God Nation?

An assassin organization could just be an organization,

Yet they called it a God Nation?

What arrogance...

"Are you curious to know who the Overlord of the Assassin God Nation is, and how they’re connected to the Wutian Celestial Emperor?" Miaoshan saw Wu Tian’s doubt and sighed: "To my knowledge, no one has identified the true mastermind behind it."

Master Li nodded: "It’s not you alone, many people are investigating it. You must know, the Assassin God Nation emerged suddenly nine thousand years ago and assassinated many famous people. The sects and families of those killed spared no effort in their investigations."

"But all they’ve found is the assertion that the Assassin God Nation was founded by the Wutian Celestial Emperor, and its Overlords appointed by him."

"Rumor has it that forces from the Upper Realm once allied to annihilate the Assassin God Nation, and during that time, the Nation was destroyed, with countless assassins perishing in the disaster."

"However, many assassins escaped, and after that disaster, the Nation no longer dared act openly, forcing it into hiding, so that no one knows where the current Assassin God Nation is." Master Li shook his head.

"That’s a lot of words for nothing." Wu Tian smiled wryly.

But after thinking a bit,

"Do you know what martial arts techniques the Assassin God Nation employs? Surely someone must know that?"

Miaoshan,

Master Li shook their heads; they knew too little about such things.

"If you want to know, you could visit the Storytelling Manor." Master Li said: "The storytellers span the upper and lower realms, all looking identical, differing only in age and gender. You’ve seen storyteller bookshops, but few know of the Storytelling Manor. You could check there for any news on the Assassin God Nation."

"Alright."

Wu Tian nodded; the storytellers were quite mysterious. Like the All-Knowing, they seemed to know everything.

Behind the storytellers, Wu Tian always felt there was a hidden conspiracy.

Though he had no evidence, it was just a gut feeling.

At the Royal Palace, Wu Tian had Si’er escort Miaoshan and Master Li to arrange their rooms.

Wu Tian held the little one, and with Dao Feng and the others, headed to the back garden,

Dao Feng and the others kept urging Wu Tian to agree with Lu Bai Cha and form a brotherhood with the Ancestor of Blood Refinement,

"Still trying to overthrow me? Daughter, they’re all yours."

Wu Tian’s face turned dark; did these little rascals really think they could "overthrow" him successfully?

He let the little one teach them a lesson, to show them they were dreaming.
