Chapter 30 - Deported Immigrant Who Demanded 7-Figure Job from ICE's Director Hired an Assassin to Kill the Director's Son-in-Law
North of Sea Watcher Fortress, Xiao Han Ce's n brainwashed local sea monsters and brought them to war. They also brought so tad monsters from the immortal realm, but they were still sealed in scrolls, waiting to be summoned.
As they gathered enough troops and replenished the lost monsters from the previous raids, they ordered the monsters to continue marching south toward the Sea Watcher Fortress.
Xiao Han Ce watched over his n from the floating castle. While waiting, his n entered the castle and knelt in front of him, presenting him with the situation report.
"It's confird. We've spotted the plane artifact of a fox tribe. It matches with Yuei Clan's intel."
Xiao Han Ce grinned, "So, it was the celestial fox tribe? Is it the Jin foxes?"
"It's very likely, sir!"
"So, was it them that destroyed one of our units?"
"...Yes, sir."
"Good."
Xiao Han Ce had planned to eradicate the Ji Clan in this mortal world to teach them a lesson, but he changed his mind. As the celestial foxes were near, he wanted to get his hands on them first and retreat from this mortal world before the Ji Immortal Manor's n arrived.
"Call all our tars back to the castle. We'll use the local monsters as bait to draw those foxes out of the city. Prepare demon sealing arrays and wait for signals!"
The servant nodded and rushed out to relay the order. As for Xiao Han Ce, he fetched a stack of demon-sealing talismans from his storage ring and plastered them around his room. He thought of a fake scenario where Jin Yu would be rendered powerless in his bedroom. Imagining Jin Yu's sexy body, a part of his body got excited.
Losing in thoughts, he brought more talismans and set more trap arrays, just in case a few foxes infiltrated his safe haven.
Hours later, he finished placing anti-demon traps in the building. He gazed at the 100,000 yellow talismans on the walls and ceilings, elated by his work.
"Is that necessary?" The voice ca from behind Xiao Han Ce.
Xiao Han Ce smirked and explained to the invisible figure behind him. "Just in case, uncle. Safety first."
"Those won't work against humans, though."
"It doesn't matter. We're fighting demon foxes, after all."
The invisible figure revealed a rugged middle-aged man in black robes and a face mask. Xiao Shashen, one of the top assassins from the Xiao Family, was also the elder brother of Xiao Han Ce's father.
Unlike the other immortals, Xiao Shashen was a saint who suppressed his cultivation base to the peak immortal stage to be here, protecting his nephew.
The assassin saint stood on the front balcony and gazed outside. At first, he looked at the invisible cloud mass several kiloters away as if his eyes were equipped with automatic binoculars.
But as he observed the Celestial Fox City, his eyes caught on a lone cultivator, who was charging through the monster army and ignoring all attacks.
If an average immortal tried to do the sa, they would lose at least a limb or two during the process and would be forced to recuperate for a few minutes, yet all those Qi attacks and spells failed to scratch or leave behind a wound on him.
Xiao Shashen narrowed his eyes. He recognized the durability and physical strength of the target.
Only a saint of immortals who specialized in external physique could shrug off Qi attacks from 10,000 mortals unhard. He estimated that the mysterious cultivator's physical toughness should be comparable to a 1st-rank saint.
"Han Ce."
"Yes, uncle?"
"Be prepared to fight a saint. You've gotten yourself into trouble. The foxes have a saint backer."
"WHAT?!" Xiao Han Ce shuddered in fear. He tugged his uncle's ninja robes. "P-Please help , uncle! I can't defeat a saint!"
"There is no need to worry about." Xiao Shashen snorted and crossed his arms. He ensured the nephew. "As long as I'm in the Black Sow Castle's array domain and you don't go anywhere, nobody can kill or harm you. Only we can use our full strength while that saint has to suppress his strength to a mortal."
Xiao Han Ce let out a long sigh of relief. He widely grinned, anticipating the death of the unknown saint.

Fu Tong shot through the monster formation, searching for an immortal to kill. He tossed karma coins around himself, and they detonated, disintegrating nearby sirens, flying sharks, and wyverns to dust.
It felt strange. He had been flying for 10 minutes in the den of enemies, but no immortal from that side ca out to retaliate. Fu Tong felt like he had walked right into a trap.
Since they refused to co out, Fu Tong fetched more karma coins from his spatial ring. After injecting the coins with his Qi, he threw them like grenades, aiming at the crowd below.
Explosions after explosions, rn and drakes scread, yet their number seed endless.
While Fu Tong ssed around with the monster army, one of his charged coins was flung to the sky and hit sothing invisible. It exploded upon impact and caused a ripple in the air.
The ripple sounded like a shaking flat sheet of tal releasing weird noise. Fu Tong turned toward it and found a fluctuating layer of a concealnt barrier.
"Aha!"
Fu Tong recognized it. The concealnt barrier belonged to the Black Sow Castle, where Xiao Han Ce had been hiding.
Locating the target, Fu Tong fetched 100 coins and upgraded his energy halberd. After rging 100 karma coins worth of energy into the weapon, it transford into a giant butcher knife.
He swung it down!
CLANK
The barrier shattered, and the weapon sliced through the flying island and its castle. However, it got stuck midway and dissipated, running out of energy.
As soon as the concealnt array was destroyed, the entire flying island ca into view. In addition, he spotted two n standing on the balcony of the black castle. Their expressions were as ugly as their faces.
"Found you! Xiao Han Ce!"
—
The massive glowing butcher knife appeared out of nowhere. Even Xiao Shashen was taken aback when Fu Tong summoned it.
"Not good!"
Xiao Shashen recognized it. This weapon was a saint-grade consumable item, which required 200 karma coins to create. However, nobody bothered using it because of its price. Smarter immortals and saints would rather purchase real weapons with 200 karma coins instead of wasting them like this.
Still, the consumable weapon was deadly. As long as it cut through the soul physique of an immortal or a saint, the victim would lose their regenerative abilities and dissipate into dust instantly. The real saint-grade or immortal-grade weapons couldn't do the sa.
Xiao Shashen pulled Xiao Han Ce aside. The blade descended and cut through the balcony, where they had stood. The weapon quickly faded as the castle core—The artifact that sustained the flying castle—consud its energy to restore itself.
The damaged land and castle slowly repaired themselves. However, the concealnt array and the karmic protection array, which allowed them to maintain their saint-realm or immortal-realm cultivation stage, remained destroyed.
Instantly, Xiao Shashen felt the punishnt. A beam of tribulation lightning erged above him and struck his head directly, suppressing his Qi to the quasi-immortal stage.
Xiao Han Ce also received the sa penalty. Both n collapsed on the floor and vomited blood.
The sudden injuries and the backlash from karma laws alard them. As cowardly as they were, Xiao Han Ce commanded his island treasure to retreat. Xiao Shashen also activated his stealth technique, turning himself invisible.
