In the Bitter Territory, there is a world that is not too big in area, with countless cities and a large number of living beings living in it.
Among these creatures, there are both monks and mortals.
In short, no matter from any aspect, this is an ordinary world with an ordinary name.
But in fact, this world is a place in the Bitter Territory that even the powerful emperors are not willing to set foot in easily.
Because this world also has a name, called the Dark World! Naturally, this is the headquarters of the Shadow Pavilion.
The Shadow Pavilion is not a sect or a family, but a force composed of a large number of killers, so it does not need to occupy a huge territory like other forces.
It is more convenient to just use a small world as a base.
Once there is danger, the worst thing is to abandon it and find another world. The birth and existence of the Shadow Pavilion, especially its development and growth, are a mystery to most monks and forces in the Bitter Realm! Logically speaking, no matter it is
Neither the superior Ku Temple nor those first-rate forces should allow such a force that specializes in assassination, and can even be said to be completely opposite to Ku Temple's principles of doing things, to exist in the Ku Territory.
If the Kumiao Temple would not take the initiative to intervene in any disputes, then the Shadow Pavilion would have just the idea.
As long as they pay the price they need, they dare to offend even the Ku Temple.
But the strange thing is that it still exists.
Not only does it exist, but more and more killers join it, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger.
In addition, the Shadow Pavilion Master is like a dragon that never sees its end.
Not to mention other forces, even the heads of major families and sects, only a few people have actually seen him.
So many people believe that the Shadow Pavilion was actually formed by a first-rate force, even the Ku Temple, who sent people secretly.
But no matter what, there is no doubt about the power of Shadow Pavilion, and it is an existence that no force is willing to provoke.
On weekdays, no one except the people from the Shadow Pavilion wants to come to the headquarters of the Shadow Pavilion.
But today, a young man came outside this dark world.
This man, with a hint of red between his eyebrows, is none other than Taishi Zheng, one of the nine sons of Taishi.
Although his strength is not the strongest among the nine sons, he is considered by the Taishi family to be the most likely to become the next head of the family.
After all, if you want to be the head of a family, you not only need to have strength, but also need to have brains.
In terms of strategy, Tai Shizheng is definitely the strongest among the younger generation.
As soon as Taishi Zheng stepped into the dark world, he immediately noticed that at least ten powerful spiritual consciousnesses instantly covered his body.
Taishi Zheng did not hide his identity. He directly took out the token representing his identity and said: "Taishi Zheng, one of the nine sons of Taishi."
As his words fell, all his consciousness disappeared in an instant, and instead, a man in black appeared in front of him.
The man also looked good, but his eyes were sleepy, as if he hadn't woken up.
Even when facing Taishi Zheng, he first yawned longly, and then said: "Brother Taishi is such a rare visitor, why did he come to my dark world?"
"Recently, it seems that we have not received any business from your Taishi family!"
"Or are you saying that your Taishi family is dissatisfied with my Shadow Pavilion and wants to take action against us?"
Although the man's attitude and tone were not polite at all, Taishi Zheng was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he said with a smile on his face: "Brother An Ye is serious. I came here today because I have a big deal to discuss with you."
."
An Ye's status in the Shadow Pavilion is the same as Taishi Zheng's status in the Taishi family. He is regarded as one of the successors of the Shadow Pavilion as the Pavilion Master.
Therefore, Tai Shizheng naturally had to remain polite when facing him.
An Ye yawned again, looked at Tai Shizheng up and down and said, "If you want to talk about business, you should go to our dark building. Why did you end up in our dark world?"
The Shadow Pavilion has a store-like existence in many places in the Bitter Territory, including the territory of the first-class forces, called the Dark Pavilion, which is responsible for handling various businesses.
Tai Shizheng smiled and said: "Because this business is too big, the dark house probably won't be able to take charge. I will have to come to ask for your instructions when the time comes, so I simply came to the dark world directly."
"Say it!"
An Ye stretched again and said, "What a big deal, I need your Taishi brother to go there in person."
Tai Shizheng lowered his voice and said: "Help us find the whereabouts of a person!"
"who?"
"Jiang Yun!"
Hearing the word "Jiang Yun", a cold light suddenly flashed through the sleepy eyes of the dark night.
Although it returned to normal immediately, the light made Tai Shizheng secretly wary.
This An Ye's strength is only stronger than his own! Tai Shizheng asked calmly: "Brother An Ye must have heard of this person?"
An Ye nodded and said: "I single-handedly destroyed your clan protection formation and almost wiped out your Taishi family. Of course I have heard of such people!"
This sentence may seem ordinary, but the meaning behind it is that the Shadow Pavilion is very clear about what Jiang Yun did in the Taishi family.
You must know that what Jiang Yun did was a great shame and humiliation for the Taishi family. The Ninth Patriarch has ordered that no one in the clan should leak this matter.
But the Shadow Pavilion already knows! This is also normal. The Shadow Pavilion naturally has its own spies among various forces.
"yes!"
Taishi Zheng also didn't mind An Ye's knowledge, and sighed: "My Taishi family has suffered such a big loss at the hands of Jiang Yun, so naturally we want to take revenge."
"But we still want to save some face and are not going to go looking for him in a big way."
"So, I need to trouble you to help us find his whereabouts."
An Ye pondered: "What price are you prepared to pay?"
Tai Shizheng raised two fingers and said: "Two imperial weapons!"
A light flashed in An Ye's eyes again! An imperial weapon was enough for Shadow Pavilion to kill a would-be emperor.
However, now just to find the whereabouts of a person, two imperial weapons are given. This price is really extremely heavy! However, after pondering for a moment, An Ye suddenly frowned and said: "Except for the two imperial weapons,
In addition to the device, we also need to add a condition."
Tai Shizheng's face couldn't help but sink slightly.
The Taishi family was worried that the Shadow Pavilion would not accept it, so they had given enough sincerity, but they did not expect that they would add conditions.
Tai Shizheng said calmly: "Brother An Ye, are you asking for too much?"
An Ye shook his head and said: "Jiang Yun is a cultivator who transcends the ban, and is someone who the Qiuzhen Sect, the Tai Sui Sect and the Ku Temple are looking for. The price I want from the Shadow Pavilion is not high."
Tai Shizheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't know, what other conditions does Brother An Ye have?"
An Ye replied: "The reason you are looking for Jiang Yun must be to kill him. Our conditions are very simple. When you deal with him, someone from Shadow Pavilion also needs to be present!"
Tai Shizheng was stunned and said: "What are you doing here?
Do you want to kill him too?"
An Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, the puppet controlled by Jiang Yun that day who killed one of your quasi-emperors was An Tian."
"What!"
Tai Shizheng was really surprised. Although he also saw Jiang Yun's puppet that day, Jiang Yun had already changed it slightly for An Tian, so he didn't recognize it.
An Ye continued: "However, Jiang Yun is protected by the Ku Temple, so we can't take action directly. Your Taishi family must have obtained the consent of the Ku Temple. It shouldn't be too much for us to go and watch!"
Taishi Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay!"
While speaking, Tai Shizheng had already handed over a storage magic weapon, which contained an imperial weapon.
This is also the rule for doing business with Shadow Pavilion. Pay half of the deposit first. Regardless of whether the task is completed, the deposit is non-refundable.
An Ye took the storage magic weapon and yawned again: "I won't give it away!"
After watching Tai Shizheng leave the dark world, An Ye's figure also disappeared, and he was in darkness. He said respectfully: "Pavilion Master, this disciple doesn't understand."
"The Pavilion Master wants to see Jiang Yun. Once we find him, we will arrest him directly. Why bother to help the Taishi family?"
In the darkness, a somewhat erratic voice came out: "That Jiang Yun may be considered an old friend of mine!"
