Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

The Ice Hell Sect, being an Assassin Sect, is naturally well aware of the dangers involved in this line of work.

Therefore, not only have they established their mountain gate in a secretive, unknown location, but the disciples of the sect also tread very cautiously when outside.

Moreover, internally, they've divided their operations into two distinct teams.

The emissary of the Ice Hell Sect currently appearing in Zhou Chun's incarnation's sight is specifically responsible for accepting commissioned tasks.

These individuals do not need to learn assassination Divine Skills; their main focus is on mastering observation and escape techniques.

Before making an appearance, this Ice Hell Sect emissary had already secretly observed Zhou Chun's incarnation for quite some time and had surveyed the surrounding area to confirm that no other high-level cultivators were laying in ambush, only then daring to reveal himself.

Even upon revealing himself, he always maintained a certain distance from the client to ensure that he could react at the first sign of any unexpected situation.

Upon appearing, his gaze, through the small holes in the mask, fell upon Zhou Chun's incarnation.

He spoke in a detached tone, "Since you have come here with a token, you must be aware of our sect's rules. May I ask whom you seek our assistance against?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was slightly moved and, without immediate action, looked at the other and said, "This token was acquired through a transaction with someone else. I am not particularly clear about your Ice Hell Sect's rules. Could you please elaborate?"

Hearing these words, the Ice Hell Sect emissary's gaze changed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he retorted coldly, "To come here without understanding the rules, you must truly be bold!"

"Why? Isn't the Ice Hell Sect an Assassin Sect? As long as I can pay the price, can't you resolve my troubles?"

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and replied indifferently, his tone filled with nonchalance.

His wealthy and arrogant demeanor made the Ice Hell Sect emissary's gaze grow even colder.

Indeed, the Ice Hell Sect is an Assassin Sect, accepting money to act on behalf of others.

But this never means they are considered inferior.

Conversely, in such transactions of hired killings, the Ice Hell Sect is instead on a higher plane than the employer.

Because they are well aware that if an employer comes to them for a resolution, it means the employer's own capabilities are insufficient to resolve the matter.

Thus, it's the employer who seeks their help, not them living off the employer's charity.

These facts are clear to any cultivator with some understanding of the Ice Hell Sect.

Therefore, at this moment, the Ice Hell Sect emissary actually believed Zhou Chun's previous words.

This indeed is an outsider who doesn't know much about the Ice Hell Sect!

Regarding such ignorant outsiders, the Ice Hell Sect naturally has another set of strategies.

The Ice Hell Sect emissary immediately said, "What you say isn't wrong. So now you can tell whom you want to kill and provide the details of your payment and the target's information."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun responded immediately, "All relevant information is here, take a look yourself."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, sending a Jade Slip flying toward the Ice Hell Sect emissary.

What surprised him, however, was that the Ice Hell Sect emissary, after accepting the Jade Slip, did not immediately check the information within.

Instead, he nodded toward Zhou Chun and said, "I have received your commission, but whether this can be fulfilled depends on our sect thoroughly investigating and verifying the information. Please do not leave the Ice Barbarian Country for the next month, and a cultivator from our sect will contact you."

After finishing, he put the Jade Slip into the Storage Pouch and intended to use his Escape Technique to depart.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun had to dismiss the idea of probing and took action directly.

With a wave of his sleeve, several ice spikes shot towards the Ice Hell Sect emissary.

However, it seemed as if the person anticipated his move and quickly formed a snow wall, solidifying into a thick ice wall to block in front of him, while simultaneously preparing to use his Escape Technique to leave.

But Zhou Chun's methods far exceeded his imagination.

Those ice spikes were merely a blinding method; the true attack was the Nine Annihilation Ice Needles.

With his Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, he was completely unaware of the presence of the Formless Ice Needles.

It was not until the Formless Ice Needles pierced through his protective aura and penetrated his robe that he realized.

But by then, it was evidently too late.

The nine ice needles easily pierced through his robe and an inner armor, the released cold poison instantly disabling his resistance.

After subduing him with this move, Zhou Chun immediately sealed off his cultivation and brought him to where his main body was.

However, when the main body of Zhou Chun personally attempted to use the Soul Search Technique, he discovered that a high-level restriction was placed on the Divine Soul of this Ice Hell Sect cultivator. Forcible soul searching would instantly cause the Divine Soul to collapse.

Under such circumstances, he had to abandon the idea of forcible soul searching and instead decided to wake the person and interrogate him.

Once awakened, Zhou Chun coldly said to him, "I will ask you several questions. Answer them well, and I shall spare your life!"

Upon hearing these words, the newly awakened Ice Hell Sect emissary immediately chuckled bitterly and said, "Senior, you must be wanting to ask where our sect's mountain gate is located, right?"
