Chapter 725: Chapter 394: The Auspicious Day

One hundred thousand taels of gold!

Everyone in the courtyard gasped in shock.

Mu Chunyu was suddenly enlightened, no wonder they didn’t bother to look at all my savings...

It turns out they were taking such a big order.

In comparison, all my wealth meant nothing to them.

Yet, on the other side, these three were silently cursing...

One hundred thousand taels of gold... Are you planning to assassinate the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns?

Even if you were, it shouldn’t be this expensive!

They cursed inwardly but dared not speak.

The Grand Elder of the Thousand Flowers Sect was still bleeding from his ear, a recent lesson, no one dared to provoke.

But if they accepted this, they wouldn’t be able to explain back in their sects.

Especially the Yao Tai Sect and the Supreme Sword Sect representatives.

They came here without telling their Sect Leaders.

No other reason, just that their Sect Leaders are unreliable.

Sikong Yijian has nothing but the sword in his mind.

Ji Yexue, although she looks young, is actually an old lady, stubborn, somewhat forgetful, emotionally indifferent, and hard to empathize with.

So reasoning with them is futile...

They believe only the ’Third Young Master’ can resolve this situation. Hiring anyone else would be redundant.

However, the Thousand Flowers Sect came under the Sect Leader’s order.

But one hundred thousand taels of gold, they simply couldn’t agree.

"What?"

Chu Qing squinted slightly:

"Think my price is too high? Then you can look for someone else.

"I heard the Mirror of Sin’s Southern Headquarters is in Lingbei, why not seek them out?"

These words left the three in silence once again.

It’s not that they hadn’t thought of it... just can’t find anyone.

The Mirror of Sin boasts they uphold justice through assassination, yet when the General slaughtered cities, they were nowhere to be seen.

Now they seem to have vanished entirely.

Where could they be found?

After pondering for a while, the woman from the Supreme Sword Sect whispered:

"Your words, Night Emperor, are naturally reasonable. To kill the General, one hundred thousand taels of gold isn’t too much...

"However, we don’t have that much silver on hand.

"We cannot come up with it in a short time."

Chu Qing nodded:

"Then please return."

"Although we can’t produce it right now, we will find a way."

The woman said:

"We just need some time from Your Excellency, Night Emperor."

"How long?"

"No more than three months."

"Fine."

Chu Qing nodded:

"Then from the death of the General, I will come to each of you in three months to collect the assassination payment."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Night Emperor."

The woman was overjoyed and immediately saluted.

The remaining two followed suit.

Then they intended to take their leave...

However, Chu Qing suddenly spoke up:

"Hold on."

The three paused and turned back, just to hear Chu Qing say:

"To avoid wasting your money, I must warn you in advance.

"I know the purpose of your trip to Immortal Cloud Mountain, and to my knowledge, that Third Young Master’s martial arts are no less than mine.

"The General may not be his match... Should he kill the General, I will have no reason to appear.

"Conversely, if he is defeated and killed, I will definitely show up to assassinate the General.

"Because you paid one hundred thousand taels of gold for me to act.

"Therefore, whether the General dies at the hands of this Third Young Master or mine, the one hundred thousand taels of gold cannot be reduced.

"If you cannot accept this, then tonight ends here.

"You can leave now, as if we never met."

The meaning of Chu Qing’s words was also clear.

If the Third Young Master kills the General, he wouldn’t act, but the one hundred thousand taels of gold would still be his.

In other words, these one hundred thousand taels of gold buy a guarantee.

Guaranteeing that if the Third Young Master fails, they wouldn’t be exterminated by the General, allowing for a chance at reversal.

If they refuse, the matter ends tonight.

Afterwards, Chu Qing wouldn’t bother them, but if the Third Young Master fails, they would have to face the General.

"Then why doesn’t Your Excellency join forces with the Third Young Master?"

Unable to hold back, the Yao Tai Sect representative asked.

As soon as these words left her mouth, killing intent from Chu Qing surged suddenly.

In an instant, the air turned heavy, and the sky seemed to take on a grayish hue. Everyone felt as though Mount Tai pressed upon them, suffocating and overwhelming.

Finally, Chu Qing spoke slowly:

"A rare worthy opponent, why use numbers to overpower?"

"With such evil sects and heretics, why adhere to the Martial World’s rules!?"

The Yao Tai Sect representative spoke under pressure.

Chu Qing responded indifferently:

"I insist on it; what will you do?"

"..."

The person immediately fell silent.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure lift off them, they felt as if granted amnesty.

Chu Qing continued:

"Can you accept it? Don’t dawdle.

"My patience is limited."

Finally, the woman from the Supreme Sword Sect answered:

"We can accept it."

Chu Qing’s gaze swept over the Thousand Flowers Sect and Yao Tai Sect representatives until they gave their firm promises before he waved:

"Alright, you can all leave."

After the three left the courtyard with their disciples, Chu Qing slightly raised an eyebrow.

It seems the Yao Tai Sect might need some purging.

Previously, He Wenzhang colluded with outsiders, now this one acts arbitrarily.
