Vereina stared at Davis for some time, seeming to contemte a lot before she turned away and said nothing.


    Davis didn''t mind and stepped forward, continuing the journey without even bothering to take the loot. He was too rich to even bother.


    Mingzhi and the others followed him and Schleya was also done with refining the immortal beast''s blood from the Golden Vajra Rhinoceros, collecting it in a cauldron that she possessed. The gory scene was hidden by a veil of bloody light, so no one found it ufortable.


    Without a single hint of hesitation, they killed a few bandits and an immortal beast, making their way to the Ghost Tear Hall''s hideout.


    Within a few minutes, they rushed past many valleys and chanced upon a cave that headed inside the mountain. It was without much embellishment or decoration and looked natural, even water dripping out over the ceiling as there was a water source nearby on a mountain peak.


    Heading inside, Davis, Fiora, Mingzhi, Schleya, Katherine, and Vereina saw that the path hade to a dead end. However, Davis raised his hand, and a ripple appeared before the cave, causing the wall to disappear.


    They continued heading inside, and there were more paths diverging, but each time Davis raised his hand and disyed his status te, he would be met with the correct path opening for him.


    ording to his senses, there were multipleyers of defenses ced on each cave route, one that could trigger one''s death. However, none of them reacted to the people around him, causing Davis to rx.


    He felt the Ghost Tear Hall to be thorough, making him think that the defenses were temporarily deactivated when activating through a status te.


    *Whoosh!~*


    Abruptly, a ck-robed person wearing a ck dragon''s mask appeared in front of him, kneeling in front of him.


    "We were expecting you toe, junior master."


    Davis blinked at this scene while the others also looked at each other, wondering what was going on. On the other hand, this made Davis wonder if Deathseeker lied and there was the ability to find his location using the status te, but on second thought, he imagined that it was because he activated all those pathway gates, making him understand that there must be mechanisms to see who was essing which area.


    "Were you people waiting here for me specifically? Is your master present here?"


    "No, we death ves are spread throughout thends, mountains, and seas; some of us waiting for your presence in branches such as this Zyrus Prefecture''s main branch. However, I have informed master of your arrival, so there''s a chance that master could pay a visit."


    The death ve replied in a pious voice, making Davis a bit ufortable. He wasn''t the kind of person who would personally keep ves, but he didn''t disagree with it either, as he felt some people really did deserve to lose all their freedom just like they deserved to die.


    He didn''t know these death ves'' circumstances but chose not to bother for the moment and turned a blind eye to his master''s hobby until he knew more.


    Besides, it seemed like Deathseeker really wanted to meet him, even going as far as to ce his manpower in certain branches to look for him, even though his master said that he should go look for a Ghost King or a Ghost Emperor if he were to ever want to contact him.


    "Alright, take me inside. I want to see how the branch is."


    "Your wish is mymand."


    The death ve stood up and turned around, disying his staunch back as he continued to walk without any ounce of depression or difort.


    Davis was a bit curious, considering that he couldn''t sense the other party''s cultivation as it was deeply concealed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "What should I address you as? You have a number?"


    Last time, Davis remembered that ve Four met with him in the Mercurial Ice Blitz Valley to deliver the status te that Deathseeker specifically made for him.


    "No, I am Death Dragon." Shook the death ve, causing Davis to raise his brows.


    "Oh? You''re not only not a numbered ve but also possess a powerful name? Are you that strong?"


    "I think so."


    Death Dragon lightly voiced out as though he was smiling, making Davis more curious about Death Dragon''s true cultivation.


    Nheless, the path before them quickly became quiet as no one spoke anything.


    With the death ve, Davis and the others were easily able to get through the manned checkpoints without any questions being asked. Moreover, even though the death ve appeared to be servile, the other assassins deeply respected him, not even disying the slightest hint of derision.


    Before long, they appeared out of a cave tunnel, bing bathed in sunlight- no, a kind of artificial light that hung above.


    "...!"


    Mingzhi and the others became stunned as they witnessed this scene while their eyes adjusted to the ever-glowing brightness, causing them to pan their heads and gaze at the marvel before them.


    ''What the hell...? A mini underground city...? And all of these people... are assassins?''


    Mingzhi was stunned as she saw the people in the streets of this vast underworld. She could see children to men and women running around, either practicing or going about their way with ingredients in their baskets as though they were mortals buying groceries to cook for lunch.


    For a moment, they all couldn''t help but wonder about the life these people would lead in this vast underworld world, making them think about their assassin ways and habits, their customs and usages, and how they live down there among them as well as how they came to be where they would go.


    "Please."


    Death Dragon lightly invited them before he descended the obsidian stairs, causing Davis and the others to follow. They looked around, taking in the spectacr novelty of the two-story buildings that were ced around them.


    "Ghost King!~"


    "Ghost King!"


    But suddenly, as they walked through the main street that was long and wide, leading to a giant nine-story pce in the center, many people came forward and greeted them while having eerie smiles on their faces while some were masked, causing Davis to blink before he turned to look at Death Dragon walking before him.


    ''Great... a Ghost King is a ve of Deathseeker. Have I been underestimating my master too much?''
