Three days later, on the Underworld website forum.
"Damn, are you kidding ? What's happening, all three assassin organizations' rankings dropped!" a forum user exclaid.
"Look quick, the 'Blood Sun' mission failed, 'Dark Dragon' too, and 'Ice Phoenix', damn it, 'Ice Phoenix' just canceled the mission, points went straight to zero, this is insane!" another forum user scread.
"I heard that Tian Xuan Di Ming got screwed, what the hell is going on in the Assassins' World!" yet another user popped in to post.
Suddenly, there were rapid replies, "Hurry up and find out, what mission did they accept that was so bizarre!"
10th floor: "Can't find it anymore, it seems like an S class mission was released a few days ago, but it's gone, seems like soone completed it!"
....
17th floor: "That's impossible, even if it was completed there should be a record, I've seen that mission before, it seed to target Huaxia, but now it's gone!"
....
23rd floor: "There must be so hidden story, I beg the big shot to co and explain!"
....
36th floor: "Guys, stop flooding the post here, there was just a post by 'Dark Dance Enchantress', the post is called 'The King is about to return', maybe everyone can get so clues from it....."
....
88th floor: "Where's the post, I wanna watch it..."
99th floor replies to 88th floor: "Brother, are you blind? That post got bumped to the top three, and you still can't see it....."
The forum in the Underworld quickly got lively, usually, it was never this busy, the uniform actions of the three great assassin organizations had been too major.
'Blood Sun' and 'Dark Dragon' had sniped the mission takers themselves, so their ranking points only dropped slightly.
Only 'Ice Phoenix' had outright canceled the mission because 'Elf' couldn't bear to harm her own sisters and chose to zero the points instead, dropping directly to the last rank.
The upheaval in the Underworld quickly garnered a lot of attention.
At the sa ti, the three great assassin organizations all witnessed the terrifying network of the Mysterious Emperor, with the War Emperor Ling Beiming apparently having deep ties with all three organizations.
Those who regretted the most were 'Blood Sun' and 'Dark Dragon'; all three were competitors, and in order to prevent their rankings from falling, they sacrificed their pawns but also lost strength.
Only 'Ice Phoenix' had forfeited the mission outright, and although her ranking dropped, her strength remained intact, and after all, nobody denied 'Ice Phoenix's spot in the top tier of the Assassins' World.
In Laima Principality, Vanessa was slightly panicked as she watched her post rapidly being bumped up; Ling Fan had advised her not to reveal her identity for now.
Indeed, 'Dark Dance Enchantress' was her online na, and she had written that post, mainly out of excitent to give those Elder Leisure People mbers a heads-up, a hint, not expecting it to draw this much attention.
Vanessa reading through the replies below the post recognized many as from senior mbers and promptly replied with four words — "Stay tuned!"
She then deleted the post and went offline.
"Damn it, the post is gone, what the hell!" a forum user cursed.
The forum in the Underworld was in chaos again!
At the sa ti, across the world, in countryside repair shops, in lethargic financial offices, in temples housing young monks, within a broken dojo of a certain martial arts lineage...
Many were seated in front of computers, had logged out of the Underworld website, these individuals often visited this site to browse through information, reminiscing about their once proud and unrestrained days.
But just now, they saw a familiar post, one sent by an old mber, and they knew him, at the first sight of it, they couldn't help but tense up involuntarily.
When they saw that conspicuous title and its content, they were all shocked, a feeling of blood boiling pervaded their bodies.
"Is the War Emperor returning? Yes, he is the mysterious War Emperor, how could he possibly die?" All the senior mbers who saw that post were muttering to themselves, feeling as if they were in a dream.
They knew that their old friend would surely send a ssage again at the right opportunity, and they were looking forward to the emperor's return to stir up the storm.
In the Moses Manor of Insla Duchy, Mary had been monitoring the dynamics of the Underworld's website and imdiately reported the current situation to Ivan.
"It appears he has already contacted a senior mber, keep watching, and report to with any developnts!" Ivan instructed.
...
Xiangjiang, Tang Family!
"Family Head, all the missions we posted in the Underworld have failed!" Uncle Fu solemnly told Tang Hongyi.
"Huh? What do you an, are all the assassins in the Underworld useless?" Tang Hongyi could hardly believe his ears, he said incredulously.
"The first assassin who took on the mission died, the others who accepted the missions showed failures, the specifics are unclear; so even directly canceled the mission!
But that is not the scariest part!" Uncle Fu said with so gravity.
Tang Hongyi's expression imdiately grew tense, "What do you an? What do you an that's not the scariest part!"
Uncle Fu hesitated for a mont, then spoke up: "Our missions have been canceled, and the commission was refunded back to the designated account!"
Tang Hongyi was a bit confused, "What exactly do you an?"
Uncle Fu took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "It ans that the Underworld platform is not accepting the missions we posted!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hongyi stood frozen on the spot as if petrified, and it took quite a while before he ca to his senses, exclaiming in shock, "Could it be that kid's background allows him to influence the Underworld platform?"
Tang Hongyi was genuinely horrified; just what terrifying figure had he provoked.
"Not exactly, we might have underestimated his abilities; the Underworld might have reevaluated our mission's rating higher.
They think we were posting false information, causing losses to the major assassin organizations, we might have been subjected to complaints, putting us in the blacklist!" Uncle Fu explained.
"Do you an, we've been blacklisted?" Tang Hongyi's expression darkened.
"Yes, you could understand it that way!" Uncle Fu nodded.
"Damn it!" Tang Hongyi's eyes radiated unspeakable anger.
At the sa ti, Tang Hongyi finally regained so clarity from his previous overwhelming rage, "No wonder he dares provoke my Tang Family, dares to recklessly murder my only son, so he has powerful backing!"
"Family Head, we should prepare for the worst next, put aside revenge for now, think about how to deal with his further provocations!
We've issued a bounty for him; he might co knocking on our door any day, and it's uncertain if we can withstand it!" Uncle Fu advised. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
Tang Hongyi's spirits shook upon hearing this; indeed, the current situation was not just about revenge anymore, but about the Tang Family potentially facing annihilation!
He was still in good health and could potentially have more children, but if his family were annihilated, everything would be lost!
"Family Head, the best course of action now is to support the Second Miss as soon as possible, and the other families have already beco restless!
Moreover, I think you should personally seek Master Yong Xinghua, perhaps that could help us escape this disaster!" Uncle Fu advised.
Tang Hongyi took a deep breath. Yong Xinghua was a master of the Xiangjiang School of Law, combining Eastern and Western thods, reputed to have achieved miraculous wonders, residing in the Nine Dragons Palace on Nine Dragons Mountain, hard for ordinary people to et.
"Alas, it must be done, prepare the carriage, let's visit Master Huangfu first; perhaps there is still a chance to et him!" Tang Hongyi pondered for a mont, then imdiately ordered.
