Chapter 33

Chapter 31: Drunken Immortal Tower

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

The twelve killers of the Wind Killers Group had all undergone brutal training; ordinary pain they could laugh off. But when Tuoba Ye used his Pulse-Cutting Devil Hand, just a few touches on their bodies caused unbearable pain, and no one could endure it.

Even Duanfeng let out a miserable cry, his teeth clenching with a loud sound.

Tuoba Ye, though just a child, was seen as a little devil by the killers of the Wind Killers Group, even more terrifying than a devil.

"Spare my life, I'll confess!" one of the killers begged.

Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "What will you confess? I know you are a killer from the Wind Killers Group, and I know you were hired to assassinate my mother for a reward. I also know that. What I don't know is who the mastermind is, and you definitely don't know either."

Duanfeng said, "Since you know everything, why are you still torturing us? It would be better to just kill us quickly."

"You all have good cultivation. It's not easy to train a group of killers like you. It would be a pity to just kill you," Tuoba Ye said thoughtfully.

"What... What do you really want?"

Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "If you all submit to me, I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer a living death."

Unfortunately, his strength was too weak to force them to submit. If he were stronger, he could use some methods to make them unable to resist.

Duanfeng fell silent, unsure whether to refuse or to think about it.

Yinghuafei said, "Little husband, the Wind Killers Group seems to have a strict organization behind it. That organization is not just a killer group. If a killer leaves their control, they will surely die a terrible death."

"Is that so? If you submit to me, I can protect you and even increase your strength. If you don't submit to me, hehe... I'll make you suffer a living death," Tuoba Ye said with a smile.

"Boy, do you know? The power behind the Wind Killers Group spans the Divine Martial Continent. The Wind Killers Group only handles the Warring States. If you recruit us, you will have endless trouble," Duanfeng said.

Tuoba Ye sneered, "Don't talk about the power spanning the Divine Martial Continent. Even if it's a cultivation sect, what of it?"

"Fine, we can submit to you," Duanfeng said.

"You agree to join, but how can I be sure you won't betray me?" Tuoba Ye said.

"We can only swear an oath. Beyond that, we can do nothing. It's up to you whether you trust us," Duanfeng said.

Tuoba Ye didn't trust oaths. He went to find Old Rabbit to see if he had any methods.

"Old Rabbit, you must have a way to control people, right?" Tuoba Ye said.

"Tuoba Ye, you've already cultivated divine consciousness. Do you still need me to tell you the method?" Old Rabbit said.

"Old Rabbit, do you mean using divine consciousness to imprint a mark on their souls?" Tuoba Ye immediately understood.

He had no experience in this area, so he didn't know.

"Of course, this method is the most reliable. If they resist, you can directly destroy their souls," Old Rabbit said.

Tuoba Ye said excitedly, "I'll go try it right away."

"Go ahead!"

Tuoba Ye returned to the training ground and experimented on the killers.

"Don't resist. I'm going to set some restrictions to prevent you from betraying me in the future," Tuoba Ye said with a smile.

The killer had already endured so much pain that he had no strength to resist.

Tuoba Ye activated his divine consciousness, entered the other's body, and tried to imprint a mark on their soul.

He imprinted a thread of divine consciousness deep in the other's soul, making it very difficult for anyone to find and remove that thread.

However, controlling a strong person required a thread of divine consciousness, which made Tuoba Ye somewhat reluctant.

Cultivating divine consciousness was very difficult. Tuoba Ye had not cultivated much divine consciousness even after a long time.

To control twelve strong people, he needed twelve threads of divine consciousness. But to increase the strength of the Tuoba family, he had to make some sacrifices.

With the first successful experience, the next ones became much easier.

After controlling the twelve killers, Tuoba Ye collapsed on the ground. The consumption of divine consciousness was very draining, even more so than depleting his yuan energy.

Tuoba Ye quickly cultivated to try to recover the consumed divine consciousness.

Surprisingly, after consuming divine consciousness, if he started cultivating immediately, the recovery was very fast.

In the past, Tuoba Ye could cultivate only two or three threads of divine consciousness in a month, but now he could recover two threads in half a day.

He cultivated for several days and finally recovered the consumed divine consciousness. During this time, he also refined some spirit-attracting talismans to help Duanfeng and the others increase their cultivation speed.

"Little husband, how did you control them?" Yinghuafei asked.

"Yinghuafei, do you want to try? If you let me control you, I can completely trust you and immediately teach you the cultivation method," Tuoba Ye said with a smile.

"Whatever, I've already sworn an oath," Yinghuafei said.

Tuoba Ye, of course, didn't hesitate and immediately set restrictions in Yinghuafei's soul, ensuring she wouldn't turn against him.

"Yinghuafei, the Wind Killers Group will be under your control. You will form a killer organization and an intelligence organization, both led by you. If you need talent, you can take gold coins from me to buy slaves from the slave market," Tuoba Ye said.

Yinghuafei couldn't believe her ears: "Little husband, are you really giving me such an important task?"

"Of course, I always keep my word! In the future, you should not appear in public. You are the secret force of the Treasure Tower and the Tuoba family," Tuoba Ye said firmly. "No problem, we killers are used to living in the shadows," Yinghuafei said, extremely happy.

The Wind Killers Group was very powerful, and giving it to her meant her strength would increase.

Yinghuafei wanted to revive the Shadow Demon clan and naturally hoped to have a group of strong subordinates.

"Yinghuafei, intelligence is the most important. As for assassinating strong enemies, I won't let you act unless it's absolutely necessary," Tuoba Ye said. "See how many people you need, and I'll buy a batch of talent for you first. Of course, you can also recruit killers and talent yourself. Just let me know what you need. Remember, the organization you create must be independent. Don't tell anyone about your relationship with me. The more mysterious your identity, the better."

"I won't be overly involved in external matters. Let Duanfeng and the others handle it. The recruitment of talent will also be handled by Duanfeng. They have more experience and can easily recruit strong people. Buying slaves, we probably shouldn't do it ourselves," Yinghuafei said.

Tuoba Ye said, "I must go to the slave market myself to buy slaves because I can see their talent. Since we're buying, we should buy some talented people to help us grow in the future."

"Alright, we'll have to go to the slave market in disguise," Yinghuafei said.

"Yinghuafei, what name do you want to give the organization?" Tuoba Ye asked.

"Drunk Immortal Tower!" Yinghuafei said. "A tavern is a good place to gather information and helps to hide our identities."

"How much capital do you need? We must open the Drunk Immortal Tower as soon as possible. I want it to become the largest tavern in the capital," Tuoba Ye said.

"Two million gold coins, including the funds for recruiting strong people," Yinghuafei said.

Tuoba Ye said, "I'll have someone get a card and deposit the gold coins into it."

He wanted to give the gold coins directly, but two million gold coins were too many and would take up a lot of space.

"Little husband, do you have that much gold?" Yinghuafei asked in surprise.

Actually, Yinghuafei had always wanted to open a tavern, but her goal was to collect secrets to revive the Shadow Demon clan. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough gold coins, so the plan was put on hold.

Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "Of course, I can still come up with that much gold. However, I hope the Drunk Immortal Tower will develop rapidly, especially the killer organization, which must grow quickly. If any killers still want to target our Treasure Tower, they will all be eliminated."

"Don't worry. If I were alone, I wouldn't dare to guarantee it, but with the help of the Wind Killers Group, everything will be fine," Yinghuafei said confidently.

Tuoba Ye reminded her, "You and the Wind Killers Group are the core force. Only you can enter and exit the Treasure Tower, and only you know that the Drunk Immortal Tower is run by me, Tuoba Ye."

"Yes! Little husband, I will remember that," Yinghuafei said, extremely happy.

In the following days, Tuoba Ye had Yinghuafei open a gold card and deposited two million gold coins in several installments. With the gold coins, Yinghuafei bought a poorly managed tavern not far from the Treasure Tower, officially opening it.

Then, the two of them went to the slave market and bought over a hundred slaves, including talented fighters, tavern staff, managers, chefs, and some clever ones suitable for gathering and organizing intelligence.

These slaves were directly sent to the tavern.

Of course, the fighters and intelligence personnel were secretly trained in other places, which was handled by Duanfeng.

Tuoba Ye didn't manage the training of others. He only trained the twelve killers of the Wind Killers Group and Yinghuafei to enhance their strength. Of course, Zhanmeng and the Eight Dragon Guards continued to train with him, but the training content was different.

They would become the outer forces of the Tuoba family, and their strength needed to be increased to protect the Tuoba family.

Especially when Tuoba Ye entered the cultivation world, the Tuoba family needed a strong force to support it.

The Eight Dragon Guards were the overt force, while Yinghuafei and the others were the hidden force.

The two forces needed to grow together to ensure the status of the Tuoba family.

The Drunk Immortal Tower quickly opened. With Yinghuafei's long-term planning and Tuoba Ye's full support, the business was naturally good.

Of course, the purpose of the Drunk Immortal Tower was not to earn gold coins but to gather intelligence. In the future, it would even sell intelligence, which was all part of Yinghuafei's plan, finally coming to fruition.

As for the Wind Killers Group, they completely disappeared.

The Wind Killers Group was the top killer organization in the Warring States. After accepting the task to assassinate Xia Yuxuan, they all disappeared, causing a huge stir in the killer world. "First the Shadow Demons, now the Wind Killers Group is completely wiped out. What's going on with the Treasure Tower? It's so powerful!"

"Even the Wind Killers Group has no return. Who can complete the task? Even if the reward is ten million gold coins, it's impossible to complete."

Without knowing the true nature of the Treasure Tower, the killers dared not act rashly.

The news quickly reached the ears of the upper echelons of the Qian family, who were stunned.

Hiring killers failed, but they were not about to give up.

(For readers who have read the previous chapters, I made some changes to Chapter 25. In the treasures of the Qiankun Ring, I added a fragment of a beast skin map, which is a treasure map. This is a foreshadowing designed by Old Yun. You can take a look.)
