Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2364 Diligently Waiting

Chapter 2364 Diligently Waiting
Davis's gaze fell on the wall of bounties.
Previously, it held the bounties of many cultivators who had committed crimes. It was the same as the ones seen near the city gate and other locations. But now, the frame of the board became blood red, and the posters were colored in gray, silver, gold, and crimson.
"There are Emperor Grade Assassination Missions. As for Immortal Grade Assassination Missions, they are separated into three types, Early, Mid, and Late, like the divide in the nine levels of Immortal Stage. If you're a capable assassin, then killing an immortal of the same minor realm wouldn't be a problem. After all, it's not like you're going to strike face to face but wait, plan ahead and ambush the target, killing in one strike or exploiting their weakness."
The receptionist seemed to be enjoying the scenario a lot as his voice presented the missions in a clear yet gloating manner. It was as though he had already decided that Davis wouldn't be able to clear an Early Immortal Grade Assassination Mission unless he entered the Immortal Stage.
Davis saw that there were more gray posters than the other difficulties. Nonetheless, he returned his gaze to the receptionist.
"Where's my badge?"
"Oh… my apologies, Dead End."
The receptionist smirked and threw a badge toward Davis. When Davis caught it with his hand, he saw that it was a circular medallion with a symbol of a droplet and a ghost's ambiance as though evaporation had occurred.
Checking it for a moment, he felt that it posed no danger before he then activated it using his soul force, going out of his way to use darkness energy. Funnily enough, using dark energy requires more energy than using death energy. Nonetheless, a hint of aura spread from the circular medallion, and only now was he able to see the contents of the poster.
In particular, he was only able to view the contents of the gray, silver, and gold posters that equated to Emperor Grade, Early Immortal Grade, and Mid Immortal Grade Missions. As for the crimson posters, he was still unable to read their contents as the Sky Word Language didn't appear, making him understand that he wasn't considered worthy of taking on Late Immortal Grade Missions.
Nonetheless, he was momentarily flabbergasted, feeling a sense of deja vu as he looked at a golden poster.

A long paragraph was written about his characteristics and origins, the latter even describing his traits of using heavenly lightning, heavenly flames, and death energy, essentially painting him as a heavenly genius threat accompanied by a wolf that could use death energy. Furthermore, the number of women he had was also included, although some like Tina, Sophie, and Niera were not on the list.
However, Schleya was considered his woman for some reason, causing him to be flabbergasted, but this also said to him that the person who gave this information was someone from the ruined Blood Pledge Villa or someone from the wicked path.
Davis didn't focus too much on his poster, panning his gaze without a stop.
There were also posters of the assassination of Isabella Loret and Shirley Loret. However, there was none for his other women, mostly because Isabella and Shirley were the ones who possessed a threat as they were immortal inheritors.
If that was the case, Davis wondered who could be the clients of these missions.
Nonetheless, if it was him before, he would've gotten angered, but now, he inwardly chuckled. The Ghost Tear Hall only accepts assassination requests unless they have personal enmity, so he isn't about to throw his fury on them. If he could just get the names of the issuers of those missions, he would be happy about it, but unfortunately, no such information was included.
However, looking at the rewards of the three posters, he turned to look around.
"What is up with that mission? Heavenly flames and heavenly lightning? Death energy? A Billion Immortal Crystals as a reward? Two ancient immortal inheritors' wives? How is this possible?"
Davis's voice was full of disbelief.
"Ah… that." A teasing smile appeared on the receptionist's face, "It has been more than a week now, but your seniors are all still diligently waiting for that treasure meat to appear in Ascendance Monuments."
"Your seniors usually take Late Immortal Grade Missions, but who would say no to a billion immortal crystals? Just the sound of it is worth dying for. Moreover, there are also his two famous wives who are both ancient immortal inheritors and have a reward of five hundred million immortal crystals each. It is unknown what kind of enmity he brought upon himself before he stepped into the First Haven World. He doesn't have a good life ahead of him."
"Would you like to join your seniors in assassinating him? As an outer disciple who supposedly killed a Level Two Immortal, you could indeed take Mid Grade Immortal Grade Missions."
Davis perfunctorily nodded. With that kind of reward, even he wanted to fake his death and run away with the wealth.
Then, he wouldn't need assassination and quickly fuel Nadia's growth, having an Emperor-Tier Immortal King Beast by his side, although he wondered if Low-Level Immortal Crystals are capable of supporting growth when one's prowess reached the Immortal King Stage. Still, he could do so many things with a billion immortal crystals.
"However, I advise against it as you don't have more than ten days to prove yourself that you're a true outer disciple. Not only do you not have enough time, I doubt you could rush past your seniors to get to this treasure meat, much less kill that treasure meat."
The receptionist continued as he shook his head, "There is no way that treasure meat can be weak. Otherwise, many powers wouldn't he out for his head, fearing his growth potential."
'But, weren't you underestimating that same guy right about now?'
Davis stared at the receptionist, wondering if he was antagonistic or just doing his job.
"How do I get to the Ghost Tear Hall? There must be many techniques that I can learn to enhance my skills."
"Workers and outer disciples can't enter the Ghost Tear Hall's secret strongholds unless there are special circumstances. Only inner disciples can enter the Ghost Tear Hall's secret strongholds. However, if you just want skills, then I can sell you some."
The receptionist threw a jade crystal, causing Davis to catch it. Inside it was the information on many types of skills suited towards assassination. There were a thousand about such skills, ranging from offensive and defensive to support and concealment.
Davis was mostly interested in concealment techniques.
However, the ones he deemed useful were out of his reach. As for the ones he could afford, they were not better than his current movement and concealment technique, Waning Twilight Phantasm Steps, which was at Peak-Level Emperor Grade and was a better fit for his darkness and death energy.
He raised his head and asked, "How does one become an inner disciple of the Ghost Tear Hall?"
"Oh?" The receptionist's eyes brightened, "Do you know how the Three Supreme Assassination Powers survive the onslaught of the major powers who own prefectures and domains?"
"Through maintaining power and concealment as well as inducing fear in their enemy's hearts?" Davis gestured in a questioning manner, causing the receptionist to smile deeply and nod.
"That's right. The inner zones of the Three Supreme Assassination Powers never even weakened once. If you want to become an inner disciple, assassinate an inner disciple of our power, the Ghost Tear Hall, or assassinate two inner disciples of the Soulsteal Pearl Temple and Oracular Reaver Abode. As long as you bring the proof back, you will have gained your status plate of an inner disciple. At that time, even I will have to maintain a respectful attitude in your presence."
Davis's eyes widened.
So through regularly whetting the bottom rug of the inner disciples and the stronger outer disciples, the Three Supreme Assassination Powers maintained a state of extreme competition of life and death, subsequently causing the quality of their disciples to never plummet but only increase, even if it just by a decimal. They were always powerful in every generation, leading them to survive the likes of the major powers present in the First Haven World.
"Of course, you can also take the route of killing core disciples of other assassination powers but depending on the power, you may have to kill one or more core disciples before you gain your inner disciple status."
"I see."
Davis nodded. He didn't thank the receptionist as he looked at the wall of posters again.
After a minute of thorough scanning, Davis spotted a few missions that were likely to help him gain second-tier karmic sin and also a substantial amount of immortal crystals, although not as significant as his poster.
"Here, sign me up for these three missions."
