Challenging Son-in-Law

Sacred Light City, Sacred Corridor

In the center of Sacred Light City in a round circular set of buildings there happened to be an ancient structure...

There was one thousand assassins in that area and it was called the Sacred Corridor, and it was lived in by the Sacred Ring of Assassins members. It got the simple name of the Sacred Ring of Assassins because there community was in the center of a round district in the center of Sacred Light City.

Sacred Light City when it was first created was actually just a town of assassins and thieves. They traveled across the planet in a search of a place to hide when there were only two Empyrean Emperors. One of those emperors had wanted to make a place for train his troops so that he could defeat his archenemy and one of his wives suitors Jade Kong.

Long story short, the two of them fought in a war and both sides ended losing so many soldiers that they used the number of bodies lost in each area to divide the territory. From that, the eighteen Districts were divided into nine in the East and nine in the west.

The Sacred Ring of Assassins were therefore the oldest thing in Sacred Light City, and were often revered and ignored regardless of their actions. They would sometimes find a Blight on the street and take her home, beat her, stripe her off her clothes, enjoy her, and then let her go home.

They had enough power that they were considered a small city in the center of Sacred Light City. If you went there, you were asking to get killed. This was normally the case unless you were an emperor, in which case you were welcomed. Someone very familar to Lin Fan visited and had a strange treasure in his hand as he sat down with one of the eighteen original legendaries of the Ring of Assassins.

That legendary was someone in the demi-god realm, but would breakthrough at any point an emperor needed him to breakthrough. At the demi-god realm, he could still go to lower worlds and cause chaos, while once he was in the god realm, he could do no such thing...

Gin Ran was looking at him closely and examining him as he wondered if this was the right decision. It wouldn't be prudent to mess with another planets war, however, his daughters were there and he wanted to ensure their protection.

He already heard about the fact that a new god rank weapon was being created, and therefore worried about Yan Ran and Na Ran like any father would. He was also close friends with the legendary in front of him. He was actually his uncle, and his brother had been the first emperor of this territory that was Sacred City. It all together took up an area of over 100 miles in every direction from the center, but was originally built on this table...

This table was only for meetings of great importance, and Gin Ran was here to discuss going against ethical boundaries...

He didn't want Lin Fan to die, but he also didn't want to help him...

"Let me get this straight... You want me to protect your daughters, but help the enemy..."

"You want them to have a chance at winning, so Lin Fan doesn't grow too cocky?" Pox Ran laughed and nearly fell down onto the floor as he nodded his head... "So what? I go down there and direct their troops, kill a few people, and then if Lin Fan is going to lose betray them?"

"Not that... Just make sure he's challenged... The Dragon Kin are idiots and need someone with a general's mind... If you're down there, I'm sure at least strategically Lin Fan will be challenged..."

"Make him work? What if he confronts me?" Pox Ran crossed his arms and looked up at the sky... "I've never done anything to betray this place even though I'm an assassin... others have strange moral codes and I let them do whatever they want... However, you know us as a family... we don't hurt unless it's for the good of something..."

"Right... Just challenge him..."

"What's in it for me?" Pox Ran didn't care much about anything but did care about the honor of the Sacred Ring of Assassins... "Do you have something in mind? What about finally letting us destroy Dark Light Palace?"

"Not.... not my decision... I wouldn't be able to stop you..." Gin Ran sighed and took out a small spatial ring... "I got a map to a secret region in one of the outer planets... If you go there, you might be able to figure out a clue on how to become an Overlord..."

"You serious?" Pox Ran got agitated as he reached for the letter... "That's stupid... Why give this boy such a large reward after he literally grabbed your daughters ass in front of you...At his wedding, he might bend her over and do her in front of the audience!"

"No... he's not that insane... Just a little young and passionate... However, I really want to see about asking him to help me... help me get to her... the wife I used to love..."

"Deal...." Pox Ran smiled and caught the ring... "I might have to ascend to the god rank after this mission is over... You okay having just three demi-gods in reserve?"

"My daughters are demi-gods... I'm starting to feel younger than I should because you made it so easy for me to relax... Take it, and consider this payment for making Lin Fan's life a living hell..."
