Chapter 722: Chapter 364: Union of Cults_2
The Underworld has its own set of rules.
Strength reigns supreme, might makes right.
If someone died, it means they provoked something they shouldn’t have.
There may be few things that even an A-level power can’t touch, but life is always like this; who can guarantee a lifetime of luck?
Some people are lucky for a moment, barely escaping crisis.
Some are extremely unlucky, losing everything in a single crisis.
Sha Xin took out a list and tore off the name on the first page.
Of the opponents he had chosen, the first one he had to kill was Caesar Du.
In the entire notebook, more than a dozen pages had been torn out, some of which were people he had killed, while others died an unlucky death after provoking something they shouldn’t have.
The notebook had been used for many years, and only a few names remained on the list.
For example, Wang Wenhua, this individual single-handedly presides over World Gambling City, not only collecting various fees but even proclaiming himself king.
In the gambling city, without power, everything is empty talk, but this person occupies half of the city’s interests with an A-level superpower.
Wealth from all over the world flows into his hands like a stream; no one knows how much money Wang Wenhua has.
Another name, if Lin Beichen were here, he would definitely be shocked.
Because this person is the landlord of Huadu, Xu Jiangyan.
Looking at Sha Xin’s faint smile, Solence’s face suddenly darkened.
"Don’t think that this doesn’t matter; his death is also related to you. According to Caesar Du’s report before his death, he discovered Holy Water in Dragon Country."
Holy Water?
Upon hearing this, Sha Xin abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Not just Sha Xin, the other Superpower Users in the room also changed colors, looking at Solence in disbelief, thinking he was joking.
The genes of a Superpower User can’t directly appear or be enhanced out of thin air; their power comes from the Original Gene.
Using ordinary methods, it’s impossible to activate the energy within the Original Gene, so the common belief in the Superpower Realm is that of Holy Water.
Holy Water is more important than anything else; as long as one ingests a drop of Holy Water, they can activate a drop of Original Power.
Holy Water is power, and Holy Water is also a medium.
A Superpower User, regardless of how weak their initial ability is, can become a super-strong person merely by absorbing enough Holy Water.
Under such circumstances, Holy Water has almost become a strategic resource, with every Superpower User madly vying for it, highly coveted in the Underworld even more than beauties and gold.
"Where did he discover it? I want a share too!"
Sha Xin coldly said, with thunder constantly flashing around him, transforming into golden flames of thunder.
"Sha Xin, you are from the Golden Mountain Sect, you shouldn’t meddle in our plans."
Another person shrouded in darkness said, his body covered in so much ice that it seemed he could freeze the entire world at any moment.
Upon hearing this, Sha Xin’s face suddenly darkened.
He didn’t expect this old guy to come out of seclusion.
One of the three great masters of the Hell Sect, he controls ice and airflow, known as Mysterious Ice.
In the Underworld, his reputation even surpasses that of Caesar Du and is on par with Sha Xin himself.
With Solence present, coupled with two other super masters of the Hell Sect, each could match Sha Xin and even have an edge over him.
Especially Solence!
This friend, known since childhood, now had cultivation so high that Sha Xin couldn’t imagine.
But Sha Xin was not afraid.
The Hell Church might be formidable, but it was inferior to the Golden Mountain Sect.
Although Qin Wenwu was dead, the resources and talent maintained by the Golden Mountain Sect for hundreds of years still supported it like a giant entity.
The Golden Mountain Sect could at any time bring out a dozen super-strong individuals. Though slightly weaker than Solence, they could surround and kill him through siege tactics.
Without Solence, the rest of the Hell Sect’s strength wasn’t worth treating as a strategic resource.
"Caesar Du was invited to Genetics International. He discovered the clue of Holy Water in Huadu.
According to reports, he lost contact shortly after sending back the news, and the Life Locator he left in the Sect also lost signal, meaning his body had already been burned to ashes!"
Solence said coldly.
"The materials used to make the Life Locator are very special. Even if smashed by thousands of pounds of rock, it couldn’t be completely destroyed. Only special flames or mysterious powers could affect its operating principles.
Could it be... the person who killed him was a Cultivator from Dragon Country?"
Mysterious Ice asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Sha Xin.
The Golden Mountain Sect had many ties with Dragon Country. If anyone present knew Dragon Country best, it would undoubtedly be Sha Xin.
Qin Wenwu, the founder of the Golden Mountain Sect, was from Dragon Country.
"You all talk too much. Since Caesar Du told you about the Holy Water, he must have mentioned the relevant personnel. Who is this person?"
Sha Xin asked coldly, with a trace of impatience.
He was a guest, but now he was being treated like an enemy.
These people really thought he was easy to bully.
Solence took out a piece of information and read it several times, seemingly unable to pronounce the name.
"I only recognize this word as ’wood.’ What do two woods together mean? According to Caesar Du’s report, this person is a professor of biological life at Huadu University and could also be a Superpower User."
When others heard this, they looked puzzled.
Superpower Users are not super geniuses; they just have Original Genes. But in terms of learning ability, they’re not much stronger than ordinary people.
Few people present were interested in Dragon Country, and recognizing one "wood" was already impressive.
But when Sha Xin heard the words "two woods together," his expression suddenly changed.
"Sha Xin, have you figured out who he is?"
Solence asked curiously.
"President, do you remember a recent event? Death King Cobra went to Dragon Country for a mission, only to have himself and over seventy elite assassins killed!"
Sha Xin said softly, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.
"Of course, I know. The Underground Assassin Group suffered drastically from this incident.
Death King Cobra was their next King of Assassins, and after years of grooming hadn’t even recouped costs before dying, causing the group’s decline from a superpower to a medium-weak power."
Solence immediately responded.
This incident significantly disturbed the balance of the Underworld.
A bounty from the Golden Mountain Sect normally wouldn’t tempt most people, but when it reached hundreds of millions of US Dollars, even superpower experts couldn’t help but be moved.
However, this matter hadn’t yet escalated before Death King Cobra’s death abruptly ended it.
In Dragon Country, Death King Cobra’s power was akin to a Death Gate Realm super expert.
Such experts, if one dies, there is one less.
It might take decades to cultivate such an expert; they are rare treasures.
"If I’m not mistaken, the person Caesar Du discovered should be Lin Beichen, currently the top in Dragon Country."
"Lin Beichen?"
Solence’s face suddenly changed, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
Lin Beichen was not an unfamiliar name, but not a familiar one either.
First Qin Wenwu, then Death King Cobra.
In the Underworld, many had heard Lin Beichen’s name.
"If Holy Water is in his possession, with Hell Sect’s strength, wanting to take it back is simply a fantasy."
Sha Xin bluntly stated.
Solence’s face turned extremely gloomy upon hearing this.
No one desires to provoke a super expert.
Even an exceptional expert like Solence wouldn’t want to provoke Lin Beichen.
But as president of the Hell Sect, he had to be responsible for all the members.
With Caesar Du dead outside, he must give everyone an explanation; otherwise, there would be internal dissent.
