Chapter 29: Qingyi Pavilion

Kyushu Chamber of Commerce's Underground First Floor.

This place was reserved for receiving guests. The incident involving the Third Prince took place here last time. As for the top floor, it was the location of the treasury, storing a vast amount of Kyushu Chamber of Commerce's treasures. This was also why ordinary individuals were prohibited from accessing the top floor.

Upon entering, Su Xing'er saw two old men. They were Wei Xiong, the Great Elder of Blood Refining Hall, and Elder Yun Hu, the Sixth Elder.

"Miss Xing'er."

Both men stood up promptly upon Su Xing'er's entrance. After all, this young woman's cultivation was not weak at all. With her level of cultivation, she was comparable to an Ancestor in Blood Refining Hall.

"I wonder what business the two of you have with Kyushu Chamber of Commerce," Su Xing'er extended a friendly hand. She smiled while being polite.

The Great Elder didn't speak; instead, he looked at Elder Yun Hu, conveying his intention silently.

Elder Yun Hu inwardly cursed, but he still spoke with a stiff smile, mustering courage.

"Miss Xing'er, it's like this: we've heard that a group of people escaped to Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. Could you hand them over to our Blood Refining Hall? We will definitely reward Miss Xing'er generously for this favor." Though Elder Yun Hu believed it was unlikely, he had no choice when faced with the Great Elder's stance.

"Oh, I wonder what satisfactory reward Blood Refining Hall has in mind for me?" Su Xing'er found the notion somewhat amusing. Hand them over? Was that even possible?

However, she didn't show her thoughts on her face. Instead, she wore an intrigued expression.

Upon hearing Su Xing'er's words, Elder Yun Hu felt quite hopeful. He immediately spoke up.

"Blood Refining Hall will offer you this amount," Elder Yun Hu said, holding up three fingers.

Su Xing'er shook her head.

Elder Yun Hu clenched his teeth and raised two more fingers.

Su Xing'er still shook her head.

Seeing Su Xing'er being so assertive, not just the Great Elder, even Elder Yun Hu was growing irritated.

"Well then, why don't you propose a number?" Elder Yun Hu still restrained himself; directly confronting Kyushu Chamber of Commerce wasn't a wise move.

"What if I say what I want is both your lives?" Su Xing'er's tone shifted, her gaze fixed on Elder Yun Hu.

Elder Yun Hu felt a bit uneasy under her stare but managed to respond with forced calmness.

"Miss Xing'er, this joke isn't very funny."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Su Xing'er chuckled, and in the next moment, she made a slashing motion with her hand, sending a wave of energy straight toward Elder Yun Hu's throat.

In an instant, Elder Yun Hu's throat spewed out a large amount of blood.

Coughing blood and clutching his gushing throat, Elder Yun Hu collapsed in disbelief. As he fell, he pondered, Am I going to die like this?

Even the Great Elder standing nearby hadn't reacted in time. It wasn't until he stood up, preparing to act, that he saw Su Xing'er's right hand press lightly. The Great Elder of Blood Refining Hall was frozen in place, suppressed by an unseen force.

"A Heavenly Origin Realm expert," Wei Xiong also realized the situation. To effortlessly suppress him like this, one had to be at least a Heavenly Origin Realm expert. At the very least, the Ancestor within the sect didn't possess such abilities. It was the envoy above him who could.

"Sit down obediently! In my hands, you won't escape," Su Xing'er advised Wei Xiong as he struggled. She showed kindness, reminding him. Su Xing'er had no intention of killing him. After all, he was the Great Elder of Blood Refining Hall; he likely held valuable information.

She brought the Great Elder to another place and detained him there. Someone came in to clean up after Su Xing'er left. Seeing the corpse didn't surprise them; they didn't need to know the reasons behind it. They only had to follow orders.

Everyone within Kyushu Chamber of Commerce had been marked with life and death seals. This was to prevent certain information from being leaked outside Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, which could have unfavorable consequences for the Su family.

The Su family.

Su Xun naturally received the message sent by Su Xing'er.

The system's voice also sounded faithfully.

[Ding, mission completed. Obtained Blood Demon Holy Order. Special reward: Host's cultivation increased by two minor realms, acquired 50,000 Luck Points, and a Grade Nine Returning Source Pill.]

As the system's voice sounded, Su Xun's cultivation also gradually increased.

Peak Profound Origin Realm.

Early Heavenly Origin Realm.

Along with 50,000 Luck Points received.

"System, wasn't it supposed to be three minor realms and 100,000 Luck Points? Why has it deducted so much?" Su Xun straightforwardly inquired, his tone without a hint of anger. Could it be because the Blood Demon Holy Order's spirit managed to escape? That's why the reward was reduced?

[Ding, though the Blood Demon Holy Order was obtained, a trace of its spirit managed to escape, resulting in a deduction of the reward.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Su Xun understood. He didn't complain either; he could only say that fate had played its hand.

"System, I remember I have one exclusive summon left. Open the summon!" Su Xun declared.

[Ding, summon activated. Congratulations to the host for summoning the organization—Qingyi Pavilion.]

"Qingyi Pavilion?" Su Xun found it somewhat unbelievable. This was the Qingyi Pavilion!

In Su Xun's eyes, this was one of the top killer organizations, just second to the Azure Dragon Hall in the literary world created by Gu Long.

It was rumored that Qingyi Pavilion had 108 floors, spread across the entire martial world. Each floor had a floor master, and there were 107 assassins in total. The organization's structure was immensely intricate, and the headquarters' location remained a mystery.

The Chief Floor Master was Huo Xiu, whose strength was unfathomable. He was one of the top six experts in the entire martial world.

[Name: Qingyi Pavilion

Existence: Brothel

Chief Floor Master: Huo Xiu

Cultivation: Peak of Enlightenment Realm

Introduction: The 108 floor masters, at the lowest, are all Heavenly Origin Realm experts. The closer to the top, the stronger their strength. Each assassin's cultivation ranges from Heavenly Martial Realm to Heavenly Origin Realm.

Note: The 108 floors of Qingyi Pavilion are already distributed throughout the Divine Martial Continent, with half of them in the Central Region. The remaining floors are scattered across the four regions, with ten floors in the Southern Region. The nearest to the host is the Qingyi Pavilion in the Northwest Region, whose floor master is at the later stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm.]

Seeing the system's introduction, Su Xun couldn't help but draw in a breath. The rewards from his previous twenty years of check-in couldn't compare to this. He started to suspect if he was exchanging this for his life?

He hadn't even ventured beyond the Northwest Region of Southern Region yet, and his influence had already expanded to the entire continent?

Regarding this, Su Xun was quite pleased. Additionally, the strength of the North Big Dipper Star Formation had also increased.

The strength of the seven formation spirits had reached the Peak of Enlightenment Realm, making even Creation Realm experts regret to having fight their joint effort. With their strength enhanced, the spirits could even manifest and leave the formation for a limited time, albeit with restrictions. The longer they stayed out or the further they got from the formation, the more their power would diminish.

Seeing this, Su Xun couldn't help but feel speechless. The Su family's strength was ridiculously weak.
