Chapter 1730 - Mirage Venom (1/2)

Following the a.s.sa.s.sin, Zhang Ruochen, Ji Fanxin, and Xie Chengzi reached a weaponsmithing building within the tomb.

This building was four levels high, and was made out of jet black metal. Every inch of it was covered with Formation inscriptions.

From within the windows, there was some black mist spewing out.

Ji Fanxin was doubtful, and said, “From what I know, this is not the location for making the down payment.”

The black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin said, “You are VIP who have made orders worth over one hundred million. Your information must be protected, so Elder Qi will personally attend to you.”

After this, he looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Please follow me in.”

Ji Fanxin was even more suspicious, and asked, “We came together, why do we not go in together?”

The black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin bowed to Ji Fanxin, and apologized. “Sorry, this is one of the rules. We must attend to our VIPs one-to-one.”

Ji Fanxin had come to G.o.d of Death Palace no more than three times, so she was not that familiar with the rules either.

Hearing that, she did not want to break any rules, and thus did not speak further.

Ji Fanxin quietly transmitted a thought to Zhang Ruochen, and said, “This seems suspicious. You must be careful.”

“Thanks for your reminder.”

Bold as he was, Zhang Ruochen walked into the building without hesitation.

Creak.

As the door closed, the a.s.sa.s.sin did not enter the building. He stood guard outside the door, looking at Ji Fanxin calmly.

Within the building, there were sixteen bronze lamps that were at about the same height as an adult man. It was like sixteen eyes floating in the misty room, seeming oddly sinister.

In the air, there was a light touch of fragrance.

That fragrance was all too familiar to Zhang Ruochen. It was the smell of Honghua vine.

Even then, Zhang Ruochen still held his breath and closed all his pores. He was particularly cautious.

One must understand that being a top-tiered a.s.sa.s.sin organization, they must be experts at using poison, so he must stay on guard.

Sitting on a Xuan Ice Saint Jade bed, Elder Qi breathed in deeply, and instantly all the poisonous mist was sucked into him. It was as though his organs were the size of an entire world, being able to hold ma.s.sive amounts of substances.

The s.p.a.ce within the building immediately became clear.

Opening his eyes, Elder Qi smiled. “I just heard that someone made a big order worth a ma.s.sive amount of Saint Stones. I thought it was one of the G.o.dly disciples. Never did I think that it was such a young master.”

Zhang Ruochen stood with his hands behind his back, and asked, “So did Elder think that only the ten G.o.dly disciples could have so much money?”

“Haha! You’re right! It seems like this old man has underestimated you youngsters. Even us who have lived for over a millennium seem so poor compared to you guys.” Elder Qi bitterly smiled.

Elder Qi must have been a rather talented individual. Given the density of the black mist just now, one could guess that he was at least a Seven-step Saint King.

Such an old person could be more dangerous than a genius.

Elder Qi seemed to be an easygoing man, and he smiled. “Given the huge amount of Saint Stones, we have two options for you.”

“Which two?” Zhang Ruochen inquired.

Elder Qi said, “First would be for you to give us the full payment. If you do not have so many Saint Stones, you could also use equipment as payment. If within one year, the target has still not been a.s.sa.s.sinated, we would return the amount in full.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “What about the second type?”

Elder Qi said, “The second is to pay a certain ratio of the down payment. When our a.s.sa.s.sins have killed the target, you shall pay the remainder.”

“What is the ratio you require?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Elder Qi replied, “At least ten percent.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Alright, I will go with the second payment method.”

To kill Shang Ziyan, Gong Ziyan, Lian Xi, and Xun Ya would be no easy feat. The main purpose of ordering their a.s.sa.s.sination here was to give them some trouble such that they would not spend all their efforts on him.

Of course, for that price, if some of them could really be a.s.sa.s.sinated, Zhang Ruochen would feel that it was worth it too.

In this situation, of course, Zhang Ruochen would select the second payment method.

Moreover, Zhang Ruochen did not have so many Saint Stones on him anyway, and he would definitely not use the Golden Dragon Carriage as collateral.

Elder Qi then explained, “However, to use the second method of payment, we need certain conditions to be fulfilled.”

“What conditions?”

Elder Qi replied, “We must know your true ident.i.ty, and thus we can estimate if you have the capabilities of paying the remaining amount.”

“I see.”

Zhang Ruochen thought about it for a while and asked, “So I heard that the G.o.d of Death Palace views their reputation very highly, and would never reveal their customer’s information?”

“Indeed, that is how we run this place.”
