Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Heavenly Killing Pavilion

[Quest: After you entered the academy with first place, many beautiful women sought your guidance and learning, and their private interactions were intense, causing dissatisfaction among the male students. One of them paid a large sum to hire a Heavenly Killing Pavilion assassin. Please evade their assassination attempt.]

[This mission cannot be abandoned.]

[Mission Reward: Unlock the special mission “Search for Fragments of the Immortal Ladder.”]

This was quite interesting. Aside from the first novice mission, which could not be abandoned, this was Jiang Li’s first unavoidable mission.

In other words, in the system’s perception, this mission, or more accurately, the reward, was crucial.

“Heavenly Killing Pavilion…”

Jiang Li had certainly heard of this organization. It was Jiuzhou’s top assassin organization, a rival to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

The Heavenly Killing Pavilion was responsible for killing high-level cultivators, while the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion profited from their spirit stones. The two organizations had a long-standing conflict.

Jiang Li estimated that, according to the system, he had been at the academy for over a month and was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, while the lowest-ranking assassins in the Heavenly Killing Pavilion were all in the Golden Core stage. This was an extremely dangerous mission in the system’s eyes.

And for Jiang Li, it was also quite challenging.

…

Among the human dynasties, the one that most venerates the use of force is undoubtedly the Tianyuan Dynasty. The Tiansha Pavilion is located within the Tianyuan Dynasty’s imperial city, openly displaying its name. It is highly sought after by the Tianyuan people and enjoys brisk business.

Unlike the order-oriented Tianji Tower, the Tiansha Pavilion thrives in the most chaotic of locations. Everyone in the Tianyuan Dynasty has enemies, and everyone wants to kill, yet finds it difficult to do so. This is when the Tiansha Pavilion proves its usefulness.

If the Tiansha Pavilion were established in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be shut down the next day as an illegal organization. The Tiansha Pavilion

‘s assassins are divided into three ranks: A, B, and C, responsible for targeting cultivators in the God Transformation, Nascent Soul, and Golden Core stages. In addition, there are the Chief and Deputy Chiefs, both in the late and peak stages of the Fusion stage, who specialize in targeting Fusion stage cultivators.

At this moment, the A-rank assassins and the Chief and Deputy Chiefs gathered to discuss a matter of particular importance to the Tiansha Pavilion.

“Wouldn’t it be uncultured to divide the ranks into three categories, A, B, and C? I’m considering changing the rank names. Does anyone have any good ideas?” the Pavilion Master asked slowly, prompting the assassins to ponder.

Indeed, A, B, and C didn’t sound impressive enough, and their aura was much weaker. A more appealing and imposing rank would be a good choice.

“How about Gold, Silver, and Bronze Killers?” the Deputy Pavilion Master offered a constructive suggestion.

“No, no, no, we’re all cultivators. Gold, silver, and bronze are possessions used by mortals. How can we classify them based on mortal items?” an A-rank assassin retorted.

“Since gold, silver, and bronze aren’t good enough, let’s use Spirit Stones. Low-rank Killers, mid-rank Killers, and high-rank Killers. The two Pavilion Masters are the ultimate killers,” another A-rank assassin continued.

The Pavilion Master tutted. “Top-grade killers, why does that sound like an insult? And calling a Jindan-stage killer inferior? Won’t they be dissatisfied? That’s inappropriate.”

“How about Heaven-grade killers, Earth-grade killers, and Human-grade killers? That’s the Way of the Three Talents. It shows we’re cultured,” said a well-read A-grade killer. People only know about heaven, earth, and man, but rarely about the Way of the Three Talents.

An A-grade killer frowned. “We’re only at the Spiritualization Stage. How could we possibly be destined to bear the title ‘Heaven’? If the first Pavilion Master hadn’t become the disciple who mastered the Seven Killings Stele in the Celestial Realm, we wouldn’t dare call ourselves the Heaven-killing Pavilion.”

“What about Level-1 killers, Level-2 killers, and Level-3 killers?”

“Those aren’t as good as Level-A, Level-B, and Level-C,” the other killers chorused.

Amidst their heated discussion, a Level-B killer pushed through the door.

“Booth in during a meeting? Do you understand the rules?” the Pavilion Master rebuked.

Under the gaze of the Pavilion Master, Deputy Pavilion Master, and a group of A-Class assassins, the B-Class assassin’s legs trembled as he trembled, “Pavilion Master, you said you’d tell me any news about your sister. Your sister sent me a wedding invitation.”

The B-Class assassin placed the bright red wedding invitation on the table closest to the door, not wanting to linger any longer, and immediately fled.

The atmosphere was so tense, it seemed they must have been discussing something serious.

The mention of the Pavilion Master’s sister drew everyone’s attention to the invitation, and a bad feeling welled up in their hearts.

The Pavilion Master’s sister was also an A-Class assassin, the only female among them. She was cool and beautiful, especially in her striking black outfit, which accentuated her impressive figure. Almost all the A-Class assassins were interested in her, affectionately calling her “Junior Sister.” Thirty

years ago, the Tiansha Pavilion received a large order: a large sum of money to kill a cultivator in the Fusion Stage. This was supposed to be the task of the two Pavilion Masters, but the Pavilion Master’s sister, driven by her competitive spirit, insisted on taking on the task. Unable to dissuade her, the Pavilion Master agreed.

As a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage, the Pavilion Master’s younger sister understood the significant gap between the Heterogeneity Stage and the Heterogeneity Stage, and naturally, she wouldn’t resort to a direct assassination attempt. Instead, she devised a meticulous plan: first, she planned to infiltrate the Heterogeneity Stage cultivator’s sect, then become his disciple. Once the cultivator was fully confident in her, she could then carry out the assassination.

To prevent leaks, the Pavilion Master’s younger sister remained silent during the mission. The assassins were concerned, yet they dared not contact her, fearing that the Heterogeneity Stage cultivator might discover anything and risk serious consequences.

Thirty years later, a message finally arrived, and the assassins were eager to see what the younger sister had to say.

But why was it a wedding invitation?

As the Pavilion Master opened the invitation, a small image stone slid out, infused with spiritual energy, and soon, a phantom of the younger sister appeared.

The once aloof younger sister vanished, replaced by a shy expression the Pavilion Master had never seen on her face before.

“Brother, long time no see.” The younger sister smiled sweetly, overflowing with joy, “I’m getting married to my master. You must come.”

The younger sister pulled her master over, a handsome man.

He was the target of assassination!

Puff –

not only the Pavilion Master vomited blood, but also a group of top-level assassins felt heartbroken.

The Pavilion Master, who was at the peak of the fusion, was pale and absent-minded. He asked the Deputy Pavilion Master to preside over the Tiansha Pavilion and said that he would be in semi-retirement from today.

Before leaving, he left a message.

“Everyone is here to make a living, there is no need to sacrifice yourself.”

The deputy pavilion master has no interest in the pavilion master’s sister. What he wants is the position of pavilion master.

He naturally would not say that the mission thirty years ago was issued by him and the person in the fusion stage together. The person in the fusion stage was a famous woman-controlling expert who had been eyeing the pavilion master’s sister for a long time, and he had been eyeing the position of pavilion master for a long time. The two of them hit it off and came up with this plan.

From the pavilion master’s sister’s acceptance of the mission to the formulation of the apprenticeship plan, the shadow of the deputy   pavilion master can be seen. What apprenticeship? A man and

a woman living alone in a room, are you afraid that they won’t fall in love after a long time?   The deputy pavilion master was not happy for long when the second-class killer rushed in again. “You are so flustered, how can you behave!” The deputy pavilion master showed his majesty and pretended to be serious.   However, this time the second-class killer did not care to be afraid and shouted: “Someone has issued a mission to kill Jiang Renhuang!”   　Thanks to the three book friends Menghu from Fantasy Township, Mr. Lin Qingxuan, and 20170514233608061 for their monthly ticket support.   　　Thanks to the book friend Menghu from Fantasy Township for the reward   (this chapter is over)
