The Taixuan Hierophant was one of the eight War Gods under the command of the Great Snow Mountain. His strength had already reached the threshold of the Supreme Plane. Even in the Great Snow Mountain, he was considered a powerful person.
He had created the Taixuan Sect to select the younger generation of geniuses for the Great Snow Mountain. As long as a disciple caught his eye, he would use all the resources of the Taixuan Sect to train them and send them to the Great Snow Mountain in the future.
Now.
There were many cultivators in the Great Snow Mountain, and many of them were sent there by the Taixuan Hierophant.
Therefore, the Taixuan Hierophant was very prestigious in the Great Snow Mountain. Among the eight War Gods, he was one of the best. Therefore, the Master of the Great Snow Mountain had given him a kill order.
This Kill Order was different from other Kill Orders. It was a Kill Order of the highest level. It meant that the master of the Great Snowy Mountain could make a move once in a life-and-death situation. It was equivalent to having a second life. However, the scholar had used it to save Helmet Tianhou without knowing it.
The Taixuan Hierophant was very angry.
On the bronze throne, the Taixuan Hierophant was dressed in a black robe. His entire body exuded a cold aura. He stared at the scholar. The air in the entire meeting hall seemed to freeze. Even the other elders felt a chill.
"Hierophant, I was wrong. Please give me a chance."
The scholar kowtowed and begged for mercy. What a joke. Just feeling the terrifying aura of the Taixuan Hierophant was enough to make him tremble. He was terrified. He was very afraid of the Taixuan Hierophant.
"I gave you the kill order to let you cultivate well and not have any worries. When you reach a certain level, I will send you to the Great Snow Mountain. However, you did not cherish it." The Taixuan Hierophant was very disappointed with the scholar's actions.
He waved his sleeve and an ice arrow shot out. It arrived in front of the scholar as fast as lightning and went straight for his head. Many elders in the meeting hall looked at each other. No one dared to plead for mercy for the scholar. They knew that the Taixuan Hierophant was really angry.
"Hierophant."
The scholar was almost crying. If the ice arrow had been a little closer, he would have died. He was scared out of his wits and his body trembled. Even so, he still begged for mercy.
Crack!
The ice arrow that was about to shoot at the scholar suddenly shattered. Then, the solemn atmosphere in the meeting hall disappeared. Everything returned to normal.
Whoosh!
All the elders heaved a sigh of relief. The scholar cried tears of joy and repeatedly kowtowed to thank the Cult Master. "Many thanks for the Cult Master's grace of not killing me. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation in the future to repay the Cult Master."
"Hmph, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."
The Taixuan Hierophant said in a low voice. "Before the Great Snow Mountain kills that person, you must find the killing order for me. No matter what method you use, I only want results."
It was because of the scholar's extraordinary talent that the Taixuan Hierophant did not want to kill him. That was why he gave him a chance.
"Sect Leader, don't worry. Even if I die, I will bring back the kill order." The scholar kowtowed and then left.
In the conference hall.
Time was of the essence. They had to find Fang Chen before the Great Snowmountain acted and take back the kill order.
"Sect Master, the person who obtained the kill order was able to easily defeat Hai Tianhou. His strength shouldn't be low. At the very least, he should be a peak Ninth Level Sage Realm expert. I'm afraid it'll be a little difficult for the scholar to take back the kill order from him." An elder muttered.
"Moreover, the Great Snowmountain is already on the move." Another person added.
The Taixuan Hierophant said, "I'll make the arrangements."
…
After leaving the conference hall, the scholar wiped away his tears. His face was ferocious, and his eyes were filled with endless killing intent. He exuded a cold aura and came to the courtyard where Hai Tianhou was.
"Big Brother." Seeing the scholar, Hai Tianhou's face was full of smiles.
If it wasn't for his big brother, he would have died at the hands of that guy. Every time he thought of this, his anger soared.
He, Hai Tianhou, had swept through a city, but he ended up like this. He could not accept it.
"Hai Tianhou," the scholar said coldly.
The scholar said with a cold expression, "Do you know the price I paid to save you?"
Hailou Tianhou was dumbfounded. The scholar had only taken out a command medallion to save him. He hadn't paid a huge price. Hailou Tianhou realized that the scholar's expression wasn't good, and his eyes were filled with anger. He hurriedly asked, "Big Brother, what happened?"
"That token was a kill order given to the Taixuan Sect by the Great Snowmountain. I used the kill order to save you without permission and angered the Sect Master. I was almost executed by him. Fortunately, I'm talented. I'm the most outstanding genius of the Taixuan Sect in the past thousand years, so I was spared."
Hearing this, Hai Tianhou sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Taixuan Hierophant wanted to kill the scholar because of a token. What was going on?
Wait!
The scholar's token was a kill order?
"Kill order?"
Hai Tianhou's eyes widened. "That guy took the kill order from the Great Snowmountain. Doesn't that mean he's dead for sure?"
When he thought of the kill order, the first thing he thought of was the bloody rumor in the Jianghu.
The scholar said coldly, "He's definitely going to die, but not at the hands of the Great Snowmountain. He's going to die at my hands. The Sect Master gave me a chance to live. The condition is that I kill that guy before the Great Snowmountain and take back the kill order."
"This …"
Hai Tianhou was a little anxious. Once the kill order was issued, the Great Snowmountain would act immediately. If he wanted to take back the kill order before they did, wouldn't that be a race against death?
He finally understood why the scholar's expression was so cold. It was about his life and death.
"Big Brother, what are you going to do?
This brother's life was saved by you. As long as you give the order, even if I have to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, this brother will not even frown. "Hailou Tianhou patted his chest and promised.
Seeing this, the scholar's expression softened.
Before he came, he had already thought about it. It was impossible for him to take back the kill order with his own strength. He had to rely on Hai Tianhou's strength.
"It's time to use the connections you've accumulated over the years." The scholar knew that Hai Tianhou had many friends and knew many strong people.
Hai Tianhou's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll contact them now."
Next, the two of them began to discuss how to deal with Fang Chen. The latter was too strong. They couldn't fight him head-on, so they had to use a strategy.
Array Masters, Talisman Masters, Weapon Masters, Pill Masters, and Hai Tianhou could all find helpers.
"Okay, it's decided. You go and contact those people. I'll go and find out where he is," the scholar said.
The two of them split up.
However, they didn't expect that the person they wanted to deal with had already come to the Taixuan Sect's territory and was asking about the scholar and the Taixuan Sect.
If nothing went wrong, Fang Chen would take the initiative to attack the Taixuan Sect soon.
