It was evening the next day.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Ding Chunqiu came together to a city thousands of miles from the Wind Rain Pavilion and went up to a restaurant.

In the hall of that restaurant, they ordered wine and food, sat drinking leisurely, and as the sky darkened, the guests in the hall gradually dispersed, leaving only one guest, drunk and sprawled out on the table, sleeping soundly.

The restaurant attendant saw that this person was dressed in tattered clothes, not seeming to be wealthy, and came over with a face full of disdain, "Hey, hey, don't sleep, we're closing."

A push couldn't wake him.

Wang Xiaoqiang gestured to the shop attendant, and as the shop attendant approached, Wang Xiaoqiang took out ten pieces of golden silk and tossed them to him, "That's my friend, go and get a room for him."

"Yes, yes, I'll take care of it immediately." The shop attendant took the money and arranged for a room, handing over the guest room key.

Ding Chunqiu took the key, then supported the drunk, assisting him into the guest room.

Wang Xiaoqiang booked another room to rest.

The drunk slept through the night, and upon waking the next day, found himself in the restaurant's guest room, with a stranger beside him, on high alert, immediately summoning an Immortal Sword in caution,

Ding Chunqiu released his Divine Sense, locking onto the drunk,

This drunk was merely at the Immortal Emperor cultivation base, too weak in strength. Under Ding Chunqiu's Divine Sense, his body stiffened, unable to move.

"You don't need to be afraid. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited until now. Besides, I have no grievance with you, why should I kill you?" Ding Chunqiu said, retracting his Divine Sense.

The man relaxed, exhaling a breath, "Speak, what do you want from me?"

"I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"Very simple." Ding Chunqiu recounted the matter to him.

The man listened, showing little interest, "Why should I help you? Just because you got me a room?"

"I'll give you one hundred pieces of golden silk as a reward."

Hearing this, the man's heart leaped with joy, but he was attentive and immediately rolled his eyes, "Tch, you're treating me like a beggar."

"Two hundred pieces of golden silk."

The man shook his head.

"Five hundred pieces of golden silk, no more. I can't afford more."

"One thousand pieces of golden silk." The man asked exorbitantly.

"Deal." Ding Chunqiu's heart flickered with a trace of fury, but he agreed straightforwardly.

"The money..." The man extended his large hand, demanding the money directly.

"I'll give you half first, and the other half after it's done." Ding Chunqiu said while taking out five hundred pieces of golden silk and handing them to the man.

The man was ecstatic inwardly, but he pursed his lips, greedily grabbing the golden silk, throwing it into his Storage Ring. He grumbled, "So stingy."

Then, Ding Chunqiu took the man to the Wind Rain Pavilion.

Wang Xiaoqiang returned to the Wind Rain Pavilion first.

Ding Chunqiu and the man stopped near the Wind Rain Pavilion, Ding Chunqiu instructed the man, and then handed him the golden silk.

Seeing that the other party was of the Immortal Emperor Realm, the man dared not pocket the golden silk alone, and took the three thousand golden silk Ding Chunqiu handed over, as instructed, to offer a bounty for the Sky Obscuring Lord's head at the Wind Rain Pavilion.

Wang Xiaoqiang accepted the golden silk, recorded the assassination mission, and then sent the man away.

The man left the Wind Rain Pavilion and went to the designated location to ask Ding Chunqiu for the remaining five hundred pieces of golden silk as payment. Ding Chunqiu took out five hundred golden silk and handed it to the man,

but the man didn't accept it, sneering complacently, "For such a confidential matter, shouldn't you pay an additional hush fee?"

"How much do you want?"

The man wriggled his neck, thought for a moment, and laughed, "I won't ask for much, just a thousand pieces of golden silk."

"Alright!" Ding Chunqiu said, swishing out the Immortal Sword to stab the man.

Poof!

The Immortal Sword pierced into the man's abdomen.

The man clutched his abdominal wound, crying out in pain with a face full of terror.

"Money can't seal a mouth, it's the sword that does!" Ding Chunqiu said, pulling out the Immortal Sword from the man's abdomen, then swiftly stabbed again, directly piercing into the man's mouth, with a swishing sound, the Immortal Sword protruded from the back of the man's head, penetrating through the entire head.

Greedy for more than one's share, that man died a tragic death.

Ding Chunqiu took the Storage Ring from the man's hand, then dug a deep pit to bury his corpse, returning to the Wind Rain Pavilion as if nothing had happened. He returned the remaining golden silk to Wang Xiaoqiang.

This golden silk was part of the public funds Wang Xiaoqiang used, now as an Administrator, he could manage some of the public assets of the Wind Rain Pavilion.

Thus, the first step of the plan was already completed, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately dispatched intelligence personnel to investigate the Purple Sun Sect and the Sky Obscuring Lord,

A day later, the intelligence personnel delivered the information to Wang Xiaoqiang. With the information, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately assembled skilled individuals, gathering the assailants from the Wind Rain Pavilion.

Originally, Wang Xiaoqiang could have easily eliminated the Sky Obscuring Lord alone, without the need for costly resources, but since the last failed attempt to kill the Sky Obscuring Lord, he had already alarmed him, making sure he would be cautious and rarely leave his large Sect,

And the Purple Sun Sect where he was, according to intelligence, was a large Sect, filled with experts, the Purple Sun Sect's Top Ten Elders were all masters above the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm,

The Sect Leader of the Purple Sun Sect, the Purple Sun Immortal, was a strong presence at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm, ranked ninety-eighth on the Golden Immortal Ranking. It was clear he was stronger than the King of Eastern Mountain.

Therefore, eliminating the Sky Obscuring Lord had its difficulties, Wang Xiaoqiang had to spend some money, publicly settling a personal feud,

He gathered the few strongest experts from the Wind Rain Pavilion.

Speaking of which, these people were the same team as last time at the Heavenly Killing Sect to exterminate the Evil Immortal, including Zuo Dao, Ling Xuefei, Tianhuo, Long Mu, and the only remaining assassin from the second group, named Ershe.

These five were the top-tier experts among the assassins of the Eastern Domain Wind Rain Pavilion, and they gathered once more, guessing that it was for a major task, as for normal assassination tasks, they were not called upon, even if they were, it was one or two of them, never all at once.

"Haha, everyone, we meet again, I've missed you all..." As soon as they met, Wang Xiaoqiang laughed. At this critical time, Wang Xiaoqiang needed to play on the bonds of camaraderie.

"Brother Qiang... er, no, Deacon Wang..." The centenarian Tianhuo immediately corrected himself to address him as Deacon Wang, his attitude becoming serious.

"Brother Qiang's appointment as Administrator, congratulations, do protect us brothers in the future..." Long Mu clasped his fists, this pair of jokers were the weakest among the group, yet their flattery skills were top-notch.

"Deacon Wang, congratulations." Ershe compliantly clasped his fists, it was apparent he held Wang Xiaoqiang in awe. It was the kind of reverence the weak have for the strong.

"Brother Qiang, Deacon Wang... sigh, how should I address you..." The sincere Zuo Dao said with some frustration. He wanted to address Wang Xiaoqiang as Brother Qiang.

"Just call me Brother Qiang, but in front of the Sect Leader Sir, it's best not to, to avoid any appearance of forming a clique." Wang Xiaoqiang said, glancing at Ling Xuefei.

Ling Xuefei smiled, "Should I continue to call you Deacon Wang?"

Wang Xiaoqiang's appointment as Administrator, brought a heartfelt satisfaction to Ling Xuefei because Wang Xiaoqiang was the first man she formed any affection for, though it was but a slight affection, yet for her, someone always indifferent to men, it was indeed rare.

Wang Xiaoqiang replied with a smile, "That's just fine!"

"Brother Qiang, this time's mission, is it arduous?" Zuo Dao asked the question lingering in everyone's mind as soon as he spoke up, seeing that all the experts of the Wind Rain Pavilion were gathered, could it not be arduous!
