The six assassins gulped as they looked at the smiling Ren. Even though he was smiling like a Saint they felt like they were prey being eyed by a horrible predator, they were no longer restrained and could freely run away but for some reason, they could not move a muscle.

They had been on many missions were their chances of survival were slim, but even then they never gave up and survived. They had seen Peak True Monarchs fight, they even survived a battle against a Nascent Soul cultivator, and even then they completed their missions, but now in front of this person, they felt helpless.

Their very souls were screaming in horror as they faced the smiling Ren. Even though every fiber of their being told them to escape their bodies would not listen.

'What was this, what the f*ck is this?!' The assassins couldn't help but scream in their minds as their bodies uncontrollably trembled.

Fang Mu who was watching the entire scene sighed. He had seen his master do this a few times already but every time he saw him doing it, he could not understand it. Ren was not using killing intent or his aura to intimidate his opponents, he wasn't even using his Qi to restrain them forcefully, it was just his presence alone that made them feel such intense terror.

"So the six of you planned to kill my disciple. Well, I would've allowed it if Mo Feng had a chance at victory, but based on what my butler over here said that chance doesn't exist if the six of you attack together. At most he could have handled two of you, and barely survive three... Normally I would've killed you six already but this time I decided not to. Instead, I'm going to give you six three options."

Hearing Ren's words gave them a tinge of hope but for some reason, they felt like something was wrong. They could not understand what it was, but could not think too deeply about it in their current situation.

"So the first option is for the three of you to face this disciple of mine and the other three faces Mo Feng. If any one of you are able to kill them then I will let whoever survives leave, and will no longer bother with you and that would be it."

Hearing the first option the assassins were confused. Does it matter if they were split into two groups, any one of them could kill a Foundation Establishment Realm fighter. Even if the two were geniuses that could bridge the gap between their cultivations, that would only be good in a one-on-one scenario not against many of them together. It was then they remembered what Ren said a while ago, that his disciples could handle two of them and barely survive three.

'No way, that would mean even if we do win against the two there would be some sacrifices.'

"The second option is for all six of you to face me."

The moment Ren said those words the six of them look at Ren weirdly. If he wanted to kill them then why doesn't he just kill them what's with this choice?

"I think you're misunderstanding something here. When I say face me, I don't mean we fight, if we did do that there wouldn't be any chance for you guys to win. What I meant was for all of you to attack me with all you've got. Use every bit of your strength and try to kill me. I won't move nor retaliate, if you're able to somehow damage me then I will let all of you go. The time limit is until all of you faint from exhaustion. Of course, if you lose then I will grant you guys a swift death."

Listening to the second option the six felt like it was also too good to be true which was similar to the first one. Since Ren would not be attacking back and all they needed to do was hurt Ren wasn't this a little bit too easy? If they combined their attacks even a True Monarch whose focus was on body strengthening would get hurt if he takes the attack head-on. Still, for some reason in the back of their minds, they felt that Ren was above True Monarch Realm Cultivators.

"Now as for the third and final option, you guys become my subordinates. You will follow me and do as I say. If you choose this option, I promise to protect you guys and of course, you get to live. The only downside is you will lose a portion of your freedom, well it's not like you six are free now anyway. So what do you choose?"

The six assassins looked at each other and communicated using various gestures. One of them then gulped as he stepped forward his legs trembling.

"If we join you will you be able to save our families?"

"Oh, is that how they're able to control you guys?... Do you know where they're being held?"

"Yes, we do... All the families of the defeated clans that were forced into becoming assassins are being held in the hideout hidden in the forest of withering trees."

"So how strong are the people in control of the assassins that you guys can't save your own families?" '

"The leader of the assassins is at the peak of the True Monarch Realm, the five elders are all in the True Monarch Realm, and even if we combine the might of all those forced to be assassins we would not win."

"Hmm, that is rather interesting... So Walter what do you think, can you defeat the leader and the Elders of this so called assassin group?"

"Of course," Walter answered while bowing.

"You hear that, if you join me I'll let you guide Walter back to your base to kill that leader and those elders. As for saving your respective families that should be your job, so what option do you want to pick?"

The six no longer hesitated as they answered in unison.

"Please take us in."

"Nice choice, alright now that you are under me, as promised I will let Walter kill those who had held your families hostage. All you need to do is guide Walter to your base and tell him who to kill. Now just in case, you're thinking of betraying me, be warned. The moment you betray me, Walter will not only kill you guys but every single person in your base which of course, includes your families."

"Master, are you not going to ask us who the client that wanted to kill your disciple is?"

"No, I don't really care, he can send more assassins if he wants to."

...

After Ren gave out some other orders, Walter and the six assassins left, and only Fang Mu and Ren stayed to watch over Mo Feng.

"Master, what are you going to do now?"

"Well, for now, let's just relax a bit while we wait for those guys. Also, I want to watch this tournament and see how well Mo Feng will do."

When Fang Mu heard what Ren said he thought that those guys were Walter and the assassins, but those were not the people Ren was waiting for. Ren of course, did not explain it to his disciple and instead said something different.

"So for now, you can do whatever your want until your Senior Brother's tournament."
