“Do you really think you can stop me from killing her?” The gold-medal assassin sneered as a powerful surged toward Duan Ling Tian like a flood and landed squarely on his chest.
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian staggered a few steps back before spitting out a mouthful of blood spurted, looking miserable.
Huan’er who was being shielded by Duan Ling Tian cried out, “Brother Ling Tian!” Her expression darkened, and her beautiful limpid eyes turned cold. A cold energy rippled out of her body into the surroundings. In just an instant, the entire backyard seemed to turn silver due to the frost.
“Huan’er.” Upon seeing Huan’er’s anger, Duan Ling Tian took two steps to her. He reached out and held her slightly raised hand. “You… are not his opponent.” His expression was grave and his emotions were turbulent as he looked at the gold-medal assassin.
‘My current cultivation base is much stronger… Even the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect wouldn’t be able to reduce me to this state with her aura alone. Moreover, this person had withdrawn his aura at the last second. Otherwise, I would’ve been in an even more wretched state!’ Duan Ling Tian knew the gold-medal assassin had shown mercy. Based on this, he could tell the gold-medal assassin was even stronger than the Celestial Duke from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect whom he had met in King Qin’s Mansion in Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.
‘Rumor has it that 90% of the powerful gold-medal assassins are the high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. They’re doing it for the money.’ Duan Ling Tian also knew the gold-medal assassin in front of him was from one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Moreover, based on the gold-medal assassin’s strength, his position in the sect had to be high as well
At this point, Duan Ling Tian further guessed that the gold medal killer in front of him was a high-ranking official in one of The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
‘Something’s not right!’ After a while, Duan Ling Tian discovered something was amiss. ‘It seems like he has no intention of harming Huan’er… He’s targeting me… To be precise, he seems to be targeting the three Overarching Heaven Pills in my hand.’ With these thoughts in mind, he heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression eased. After regaining his composure, he asked the gold-medal assassin, “Since you have no intention of killing Huan’er, what do you want?”
“You’re very smart.” The gold-medal assassin looked at Duan Ling Tian indifferently. “As long as you promise me one thing, I won’t kill this girl… If you promise me this, I’ll protect her from all the black-market assassins. I’ll even kill the person who put a bounty on her and destroy his whole family!” His tone was casual as though he was talking about the weather.
“What is it?” Duan Ling Tian asked even though he had a vague idea of what the gold-medal assassin wanted. If he was right in his assumption that the person in front of him was from one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland and had a high position in the sect, the person must want him to join his sect after discovering he was a prominent Celestial Alchemist who could refine Overarching Heaven Pills.
The gold-medal assassin stared at Duan Ling Tian and bluntly said, “Join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”
Tai Yi Celestial Sect!
Duan Ling Tian was taken aback upon hearing this even though he had prepared himself for it. He looked at the gold-medal assassin and said, “So you’re a member of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… With your strength, your position is definitely not low. What position do you hold in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”
“You’re very smart,” the gold medal killer said calmly, “However, there’s no need for you to know what position I hold or who I am… People who know about it, generally, don’t have a good ending.” Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
“What if I disagree?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“You’re smart so you should know.” The gold-medal assassin’s eyes narrowed and his tone was dark. It was clear he would kill Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian disagreed.
“If you’re sincere about recruiting me, please take off your mask and talk to me,” Duan Ling Tian said calmly.
“Take off the mask?” The gold medal killer’s eyes swept over Duan Ling Tian coldly. “You mean… as long as I take off my mask, you will join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”
“Maybe,” Duan Ling Tian replied noncommittally.
“You’re fooling around with me!” The gold-medal assassin was clearly angered. His energy surged out again, knocking Duan Ling Tian back against the stone table.
Duan Ling Tian spat out blood again.
“Brother Ling Tian!” Huan’er’s expression was grave, and her eyes were brimming with concern as she caught Duan Ling Tian.
“Huan’er, I’m fine.” Duan Ling Tian regained his footing with Huan’er’s support before he wiped the blood off the corners of his mouth. He said with a smile to the gold-medal assassin, “So… are you willing to take a bet? If you don’t take off your mask, there’s no chance of me joining the Tai Yi Celestial Sect at all. However, there’s a chance I might join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect if you take off your mask.” He put the ball in the gold-medal assassin’s court.
Huan’er supported Duan Ling Tian as she glared at the gold-medal assassin with killing intent. She wished she could kill the gold-medal assassin at this moment. However, she knew even if she used the techniques she had inherited, she still would not be an opponent to the gold-medal assassin. Apart from her mother, the gold-medal assassin was the strongest person she had met.
“Are you seeking death?” The gold-medal assassin’s voice was cold and impatient.
Upon hearing the threat, Duan Ling Tian only smiled and remained silent. It was as though he was confident the gold-medal assassin would not kill him.
After a moment, just as Duan Ling Tian expected, the gold-medal assassin took a deep breath and reached out to touch his mask when he saw Duan Ling Tian was not going to give in. However, he did not immediately take his mask off. “If you dare to fool around with me… Not only will I kill the girl, but I’ll smash your body and bones and turn them into ashes after I kill you!”
As soon as the gold-medal assassin finished speaking, he took off his golden mask, revealing a middle-aged and burly man with a square face full of stubbles. A crimson cinnabar mole could be seen on his glabella.
Upon seeing the gold-medal assassin’s face, Duan Ling Tian could roughly guess his identity. He had heard about the high-ranking officials in the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. He knew that the supreme elder and the sect leader were the strongest in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Below them were the two Great Guardians of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. He asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you should be Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, right?”
“Yes!” the middle-aged burly man replied calmly. He was not surprised that Duan Ling Tian recognized him. As a high-ranking official of the Tai Yi Sect, his portraits were widely circulated in the Wasteland.
“I have long heard that gold-medal assassins have powerful backgrounds… It’s said that even the sect leaders of the major Celestial Sects are gold-medal assassins. Although I haven’t encountered a sect leader who moonlights as an assassin, I count myself lucky for being able to meet the Left Guardian of Tai Yi Celestial Sect,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sigh.
“Don’t change the subject!” Tie Tai He said threateningly and impatiently, “I’ve taken off my mask. Give me an answer now. Are you going to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect or not? Think it through… If you refuse, both you and the girl will die!”
“I’ve thought it over,” Duan Ling Tian replied, “First of all, I’m very grateful that you’re willing to give up the mission for me… However, I’ve already made up my mind to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. It’s impossible for me to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect…”
“You’ve already decided to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect?” Tie Tai He’s expression changed drastically. His Celestial Origin Energy surged out like a raging flame as his thunderous voice reverberated in the air. “Boy, how dare you fool me?!”
