Chapter 48 - The Assassin Is Rich

This was probably the first time that the cryptic tissue had failed a mission in the recent years, right?

After the Golden Wolf died, Fang Chen saw that the Golden Wolf had a spatial ring on its finger, and immediately took it off.

Just as Fang Chen had obtained the Golden Wolf's Space Ring, the Ninth Elder had arrived.

Behind Ninth Elder were Jiang He and Xiao Shan, who were gasping for breath. Obviously, the Ninth Elder had been notified by them.

”Fang Chen, are you alright?” The first thing Ninth Elder did when she came to the mountain peak was to ask about Fang Chen's safety.

”I'm fine, Master.” Fang Chen said.

”Who was it that wanted to kill you?” asked the Ninth Elder.

Fang Chen shook his head, then pointed to the dead Golden Wolf on the ground and said: ”I don't know either.”

When Patriarch Nine saw the golden wolves, he carefully checked them for a while. Then his face slightly changed.

”Fang Chen, who did you offend? Why would the killers of cryptic tissue kill you? ” asked Patriarch Nine in a deep voice.

cryptic tissue was a very troublesome organization. It was said that there was a mysterious power backing this organization.

However, the cryptic tissue would usually issue the mission on behalf of the employer. The killer who accepted the mission would normally not have much to do with the cryptic tissue.

”This man is the killer of cryptic tissue. Someone must have issued a mission to kill you in the cryptic tissue. ” Patriarch Nine said in a deep voice.

”cryptic tissue?”

After Fang Chen heard this, his face slightly changed. He had heard of the cryptic tissue's name before.

”Fang Chen, you must be careful. Don't go out alone.” Patriarch Nine thought for a moment and then said.

Three days later, in the pavilion of the Greencloud City.

After the few in-charge of cryptic tissue all nodded, they confirmed one thing, that the Golden Wolf who killed Fang Chen had already failed.

Assassins of the cryptic tissue would never fail. Once they failed, it meant that the killer was dead.

”There's been no news for three days, the Golden Wolf is probably dead. It seems like the strength of this Fang Chen is not as simple as it appears on the surface.” One of the people in charge said.

”Mission failed, this is the shame of our cryptic tissue, but right now we need to give our employer an explanation.” Another person in charge said.

”Either you return 80% of the commission, or you receive an additional commission. The employer can decide for himself.” The third supervisor said.

Very quickly, cryptic tissue settled this matter.

The staff member contacted Bai Feng and told him what had happened. Bai Feng was extremely shocked.

”What?” You used an assassin with the seventh stage of Qi Refinement Realm, yet you still couldn't kill Fang Chen? ” Bai Feng was a little surprised, and asked.

”That's right, according to the intelligence report, Fang Chen's cultivation had also reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement Realm, and he had even killed Golden Wolf, so this mission was considered a failure.” the staff member said.

”Right now, there are two methods. The first is to return 80% of the commission.” The staff member said.

This was a rule of the cryptic tissue. If the mission failed, 80% of the commission would be returned, and 20% would be considered as compensation for the loss of the cryptic tissue.

”What's the second method?” Losing two thousand Middle grade spirit stone for no reason also made Bai Feng a little unhappy, and he asked.

”The second method is to pay ten thousand Middle grade spirit stone. We will send even more powerful assassins to complete the mission.” the staff member said.

”What?” Pay ten thousand Middle grade spirit stone s? A mere seven stage Qi Refinement Realm warrior, why would the price be so expensive? ” Bai Feng shouted.

The staff member shook his head slightly and explained: ”To be able to kill Golden Wolf, Fang Chen's true strength is already infinitely close to the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm, and even comparable to the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm. This price is considered to be rather suitable.”

”If you want me to find another ten thousand Middle grade spirit stone, where should I go?” Bai Feng thought.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Bai Feng gave up and left Cyan Cloud County with the eight thousand Middle grade spirit stone.

After leaving Cyan Cloud County, Bai Feng chose to return to his family to beg for help.

In the beginning, the reason why Bai Feng did not return to his clan was because he was afraid that the upper echelons of his clan would question him and resent him when he returned.

But this time he had no choice.

Within a region not too far away from the Greencloud City in the Escort City.

The level of prosperity of the Clear Cloud City was only second to that of the Greencloud City. It was not something that a small place like the Windy City could compare to.

The Bai Clan could be considered a medium-sized clan in the Clear Cloud City.

The first thing Bai Feng did when he returned to the Bai Family household was to report about Bai Yuan's situation.

In the conference hall of the Bai Clan's residence, the Bai Clan's upper echelons had all arrived.

”Bai Feng, explain clearly how Bai Yuan died.” Bai Clan Head said in a deep voice.

”Patriarch, Brother Bai Yuan died in Qingfeng Secret Realm, no one knows how he died, I only suspect that it was Fang Chen who did it.” Bai Feng said.

”Hmm?” The upper echelons of the family didn't understand.

”In the Green Edge Sword Sect, Brother Bai Yuan and Fang Chen had a grudge, it's very possible that …” Bai Feng said in detail.

Finally, after hearing Bai Feng's explanation, the Bai Clan Head slowly nodded his head.

”Regardless of whether or not Bai Yuan was killed by Fang Chen, this Fang Chen cannot be allowed to live.” The Bai Clan Head said.
