Above all spirits

Chapter 366 First Hearing of the Nine Ghosts

"Why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

"Which idiot group dares to plant spies in our Shadow faction this time?"

"Why don't you just tell the people in the Enforcement Hall to take care of it yourself?"

The Law Enforcement Hall, as its name suggests, is an organization that maintains the basic order of the Demon Realm and is subordinate to the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Gu Yun couldn't possibly include all those who came to surrender into the Shadow Organization. In fact, the Shadow Organization had very strict entry standards, and ordinary cultivators simply couldn't enter. Therefore, some of them would be diverted to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Gu Yun strolled leisurely into Xiao Li's 'large office'.

Yes.

Xiao Li used his own abilities to buy a luxurious office for himself in the Demon King's castle as his official workplace. Although Gu Yun had the power to help him and had informed Lucifer, Xiao Li spent the money himself.

After all, it's not good to ask someone for something empty-handed, and you've already troubled him in many ways.

As for the dark side.

The headquarters of the Shadow Organization would naturally not be located in a place known to the public.

It is another unknown planet.

The organization doesn't need to consider any sustainable resources in the surrounding area when choosing a location; it just needs to be well-hidden. Most of the killers are out there.

And based on the development over the past month or so.

Xiao Li has received an unknown amount of appraisal fees.

Gu Yun only knew that Xiao Li had not asked him for cultivation resources since then.

He even generously stated that he would cover Qing'er's future cultivation resources.

Xiao Li shook his head and chuckled at Gu Yun's teasing.

"No, it's definitely not that."

"It's only us intelligence agencies who can spy on them, nobody can spy on us."

Intelligence is indispensable for developing an assassination organization.

Gu Yun named it "Sky Eye," but the organization is still in its early stages and needs time to accumulate information, plant spies, cast various nets, and make connections in order to learn about the intelligence of various forces.

It's not very useful for now.

"What happened? You don't need my help much these days, do you?"

"Or is it that the extreme yang energy within you is about to erupt?"

When the power of extreme yang was mentioned, Xiao Li's expression changed slightly.

"No, that's not it, but it's still a problem."

"With the Emperor's Will gathered and the power of extreme Yang flowing through my body, my cultivation speed has increased considerably. However, the more I advance, the more intense the heat I feel within my body becomes. I reckon I can still hold out until the eighth level of the Sacred Body, but the ninth level is truly beyond my reach."

Gu Yun said calmly.

"It's alright. You should have already heard that the Palace Master of Ice Cloud Palace is the holder of the Extreme Yin Emperor's Will."

"She's also looking for the Supreme Yang Emperor's Will."

"I'll take you to meet her then. I heard she's a great beauty. Xiao Li, seize the opportunity."

Xiao Li nodded helplessly once again.

"The Palace Master of Ice Cloud Palace is as cold as frost. How could I possibly have any chance? I would be content to resolve the potential dangers of the Emperor's will peacefully."

Gu Yun smiled but didn't say anything, ceasing the discussion on that topic, and instead asked a question.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Oh, brother, you just mentioned it. I almost forgot about it."

Xiao Li patted his head and continued.

"Imperial Will! Among the new batch of silver-ranked assassins undergoing assessment, one possesses Imperial Will!"

Gu Yun frowned slightly, as if he had heard something impossible.

"I remember that the Silver Medal Assassin was in the Invincible Body tier, right? The Invincible Body stage can condense Emperor's Will?"

"What the hell is this? The reason why one can condense the Emperor's Will after becoming a Saint, or use the Emperor's Will as an opportunity to become a Saint, is ultimately because the spiritual world required by the Emperor's Will cannot be formed in the Hegemon Body stage. Forcibly condensing the Emperor's Will in the Hegemon Body stage will directly cause a spiritual backlash, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Your system doesn't provide his profile?"

Listening to Gu Yun's analysis, Xiao Li nodded in confusion.

"I encountered three question marks after a long time."

Now Gu Yun's interest was piqued, and he blurted it out.

"Are these three question marks after in-depth analysis, or three question marks under ordinary analysis?"

"Naturally, it's a regular appraisal. I wouldn't use a deep appraisal unless absolutely necessary, because his rank is lower than mine. Theoretically, there's not much difference between a regular appraisal and a deep appraisal when it comes to appraising cultivators of lower rank than me. I'm afraid I'll waste an opportunity and still end up with three question marks."

Gu Yun understood the logic behind Xiao Li's explanation and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder.

"Come on, take me to see you."

"By the way, do you know what Imperial Will is?"

"The Will of the Nine Netherworld Emperor".

"The name sounds pretty impressive."

"I think so too."

"I don't know if they're friend or foe."

"The enemy wouldn't be so foolish as to not cherish a future emperor and offer him up as a sacrifice for the Shadows, would they?"

"That's true."

...

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the venue for selecting the Shadow Assassins.

This is a secret base located deep in the forest, specifically for selecting silver-ranked assassins.

The assessment for the Holy Body level naturally takes place on another desolate planet in the void.

Otherwise, how could the power of the Holy Body be fully released?

Only those creatures that pass the initial interview and physical fitness test can come here for further assessment.

The interview and physical fitness test only prove that you are not a spy sent by another force, and that your physical fitness has basically met the requirements.

However, this does not prove that you can become a qualified assassin.

Next, the selection process at the secret base will involve not only multiple tests, such as physical flexibility, reaction speed, and explosive power, but most importantly, timing.

Such a test is bound to result in some casualties.

Therefore, Gu Yun would usually inform them in advance.

Of course, you have the right to withdraw before arriving at the secret base. Gu Yun will not force you. Those who sincerely want to join Shadow will not be afraid of these things, because most of these people are already living a very difficult life outside, with no end in sight.

But the Shadow Organization is different. Taking on orders not only brings payment, but also points, which can be used to exchange for various cultivation resources at the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Gu Yun's benefits are still top-notch.

With his modern mindset, he wouldn't exploit his employees relentlessly.

"Has it reached the final chaotic stage of grabbing cards?"

"Yes, I just asked the examiner, and it's almost over. Six days have passed, and in four more days the final batch of silver medal assassins will be determined."

The chaotic card-grabbing phase involves placing a certain number of killer cards in an area of ​​the forest. Finding and holding a killer card for ten days will allow you to officially become a member of the Shadow Organization.

The number of participants is naturally far greater than the number of killer cards.

After all, assassins only need the elite of the elite.

Those who were not selected were assigned to other organizations under the Heavenly Demon Prince.

Because once you arrive at the secret base to participate in the assessment, regardless of whether you ultimately pass the assessment and become a member of the Shadow Organization, you will forever remain a demon, with no possibility of regression.

The opportunity to back down has already been given.
