The world is in great chaos, and the people are on the verge of collapse. All these are caused by the system, and Teng Qing Shan alone has no way to deal with this chaotic world.
Even if one is as powerful as Yu Huang or Qin Ling Tian Di, able to unify the world, once they pass away, the world will still fall into disarray.
In Teng Qing Mountain and Teng Beast, one returned to Moon Tooth Lake, continuing to cultivate quietly. In the distant Eastern Hua Domain, within Wu An City.
"Caw caw~~~~"
A luxurious carriage was slowly moving along the streets of Wu'an City, and when it came to a remote place, in front of a pharmacy called "Wu Wei Tang", "Dang Dang ~~" The coachman stopped the horse, jumped down from the horse, and respectfully shouted on one side, "Master, we have arrived at Wu Wei Tang Pharmacy."
The curtain was lifted, and three people got off the carriage one after another, all wearing fur hats and with fur scarves wrapped around their faces, only revealing a pair of eyes outside.
Cold weather, this outfit is not uncommon.
"En, zài zhè hóu zhe."
Translation: "Mm, I'm waiting here."
Three people got off the carriage, with a young man wearing a gray fur coat leading the way into Wudidang. Inside Wudidang pharmacy, there was only one doctor and two apprentices who were preparing medicine, making it look very quiet. However, the doctor and the two apprentices were actually gathered around the stove, looking very comfortable.
"Third, is he ill?" The doctor sitting at the desk glanced over.
"Look inside." One of the elderly men behind the young man said in a low voice.
"Inside the hall?"
The doctor's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he immediately stood up to welcome them. One of the two elderly men behind the young man, who was slightly plump, took out a gold bar from his bosom and threw it over: "Ten taels of gold, three people can enter, is that okay?"
"Alright, alright." The doctor smiled and accepted the gold, pinched it, nodded, took out three black iron pieces from his pocket, and handed them over. "Three of you, go in."
If ordinary medicine shop people see it, they will probably be stunned. Ten taels of gold is over a thousand taels of silver, what kind of illness requires so much silver? Moreover, this is just to enter the inner hall.
A young man and two elderly men walked in from a side door, only to see two men in black standing on the corridor behind them.
"Huh?" One of the men in black immediately blocked their way.
"Three people." The slightly fat old man handed over three black iron pieces. The man in black took them and nodded: "Follow me!"
They walked all the way in, along a passageway, and directly entered a luxurious mansion. Inside this luxurious mansion, men wearing black leather jackets with weapons on their backs could be seen everywhere. The three young people didn't dare to run around randomly, following the lead of the black-clad man from before, they moved forward.
Soon, they arrived at a quiet house.
"Three of you, wait a moment, someone will be right with you." The man in black stood at the door and said, "You three can rest in this room."
"Second Brother, is this Killer Hall as formidable as you said?" The young man asked hesitantly.
"Hong Er, you'll know soon enough." The slightly plump old man said, the tall and robust old man beside him lowered his voice and said: "Hong Er, wait till you meet the steward of the Killer's Hall later, he will tell you about our family's affairs, whether the Killer's Hall can take it on or not. But behind the Killer's Hall is the Xuriang Commercial Firm, if they can't do it, then there aren't many other killer organizations that can."
Footsteps sounded.
A lean middle-aged man in a white fur coat with a sunken eye socket, looking very cold and stern, walked in.
"It's two matters." The man in black bowed respectfully.
"Uh-huh."
This lean middle-aged man waved his hand, and the black-clothed man immediately left. There were only three young people around this house, as well as this person in charge.
"Three of them, no need for masks here, right?" said the lean middle-aged man with a smile.
The three young men also untied the skin scarves on their faces, and the lean middle-aged man smiled and walked to his seat: "Three of you, sit down."
"I don't know what you three want, but if you want me to take care of something for you, speak up!" The two attendants looked at the three people carefully.
"I want you to kill him, help me kill someone!" The young man gritted his teeth and said, the muscles on his face twitching uncontrollably. "Dong Zhezi of the Dong family in the Eastern Domain!"
"Dong Zhezi?" The two managers were shocked.
"How about it? Are you Killers' Hall too afraid to accept?" The young man sneered.
The second butler took a closer look at the young man, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face: "This should be the third son of the Jiang family... Oh, it should be the new head of the Jiang family. No wonder, he wants to kill Dong Zhezi." The youth and the other two elders were not surprised by the second butler's revelation.
They all knew about the ability of the killer from the Rising Sun Commercial Firm. If even Jiang San Gongzi didn't know, that would be strange.
"This Dong Zhezi, I'd like to eat his flesh and drink his blood." The young man's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, those scenes etched in his mind forever, the most terrifying days of his life. Just thinking about those days made his whole body tremble with rage.
The slightly chubby old man next to him immediately patted the young man's shoulder gently.
"To kill Dong Zhezi, at the very least, it would require the intervention of a Martial Saint." The Second-in-Command smiled as he pulled out a very thin piece of paper from his pocket, "I have the Killer's List... which contains the strongest killers. There is a detailed description on this list. You can choose whoever you want to take action. Of course... the price required will also be different."
The two servants said and handed it over.
The young man took it over, unfolded it, and together with the two old men beside him, as they turned back, a hint of joy also appeared on the young man's face.
"Peak Martial Saint?" The young man's eyes gleamed with a hint of madness.
"The strength of the Killer's Hall is indeed impressive." The slightly fat old man beside him praised, in general, a large family can have one martial saint, it's already good. But the Killer's Hall has several martial saints... From this, we can see the terrifying strength of the Rising Sun Business Group. There is no description of the killer's identity on that paper, only the description of their strength.
"The Supreme Martial Saint takes action, as long as he is a bit careful, he can kill that despicable person." The young man's face had an uncontrollable joyful expression.
"This is——"
The young man turned to the last page.
"'The Strongest Martial Saint?' The young man and the two old men beside him were all somewhat surprised, whereupon the tall and thin old man inquired: 'Manager, who is this Strongest Martial Saint? We had never heard of it before.'"
Two stewards' faces showed a hint of pride: "Three, this strongest martial saint is the ranking set by my killer hall. Looking at the entire Du Mu continent, other killer organizations do not have such a powerful strongman... I can tell you that as long as this strongest martial saint takes action, unless they reach the war god level, otherwise... Hmph."
"Could it be... Akatsuki no Yumi?" The young man exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm."
The two men in charge fell silent, their faces darkening as one of them bellowed, "Whoever the powerful person is behind you, that's beyond your control."
Those two old men also pulled the young man, and the young man knew he had misspoken.
"I can tell you, the strongest Martial Saint will take action, and there's absolutely no problem." The Second-in-Command was extremely confident.
"That despicable person..." A fierce glint flashed in the young man's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "If we're going to invite someone, let's invite the most powerful one! I want to invite the strongest Martial Saint to capture that despicable person alive for our Jiang family. Name your price!" The young man was already prepared to be ruthlessly taken advantage of, but the two elderly men beside him remained silent.
Two stewards laughed and shook their heads: "This strongest martial saint, what kind of identity is that? Money doesn't matter to him! There's only one way to invite him, unless you have one of the thirty-six stone carvings left behind by the divine axe-wielding god 'Yu the Great', then after the task is accomplished, you'll give the stone carving to this strongest martial saint for three years. Three years later, you can return it to yourselves, and I, Killer Hand Hall, will be the guarantor."
"Of course, you want to capture Dong Zhezi alive with the strongest martial arts saint, it's a bit troublesome, and some gold may need to be added." The second manager added.
In recent days, there have been several business deals asking for the strongest martial saint to take action.
Alas... None of them have the thirty-six stone carvings, and the two officials are also following the arrangements made by their superiors, saying so as a matter of course. After all, they don't know either who has the thirty-six carvings. But after all, there are thirty-six in the world, randomly selecting a few families, it's possible that some family has one.
"What about the stone carvings of 'The 36 Forms of Open Mountain'?" The young man was startled and turned his head to look at the two old men beside him.
Nowadays in Jiang's family, the three of them have the highest power.
They Jiang's family indeed has a stone carving! However, this stone carving is very precious and they are also somewhat reluctant to part with it.
"You three think carefully." The second in command smiled and got up to walk outside the house, closing the door at the same time.
Only the three of them were left in the house.
"Second Uncle, Sixth Uncle." The young man hesitated, "If we take out this stone inscription, it will be back in three years! But... I'm worried that the Xuyue Merchant House has their eyes on this stone inscription. On the surface, they attach importance to reputation and will definitely return it to us. But after returning it, who knows if they'll make a ruthless move."
The other two elderly men also worried about this point.
The stone inscription itself, lent out for three years, doesn't matter much.
"Hong Er." The slightly plump old man narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, saying, "This 'Opening Mountain Thirty-six Styles' stone engraving is incredibly mysterious. However, our Jiang family has had it for so long, yet no one has been able to use it to cultivate any extraordinary axe techniques! One piece of stone engraving isn't very useful. I think... let's do this: first, give it to that strongest Martial Saint to look at for three years. After three years, we won't even want it back. Let the Xu Yue Merchant Guild directly auction it off for us!"
"Our Jiang family has suffered a great loss this time. To make a comeback, to expand our forces, and to recruit more men, all require gold and silver!"
"A piece of stone carving is useless no matter where it's placed, it's better to exchange it for gold. The last time that set of jade carvings was sold, it was said that they exceeded 500,000 taels of gold. This piece of stone carving, logically speaking, its price won't be lower than that."
As soon as this was said, the other two nodded slightly.
"Alright, let's do it!"
Young eyes flashed cold, "That Dong Zhezi vicious woman, in that dungeon, tortured my father to death, and me... If I hadn't escaped early, I would have been tortured to death by her too. This vicious woman... won't be caught. He will never forget the nightmare-like days after being captured."
No matter whether it was dignity or body, they were subjected to unprecedented insults. After the young man escaped, he had nightmares for more than a month, dreaming every day of the scene that drove him crazy.
"That despicable woman!!!!! I will personally torment her to death, I will make her regret!!!!!"
The young man immediately stood up and walked out to attend to the two matters.
They agreed!
If you're going to invite someone, invite the strongest one, with absolute confidence in the 'Strongest Martial Saint'!
In the late afternoon, at the foot of Shenfu Mountain, by the side of Yueya Lake, smoke from cooking rose gently.
Teng Qing Shan was walking on the path in the forest, each step a flash of movement, darting far away, seemingly slow yet eerily fast.
"No, still not quite right." Teng Qing Shan shook his head, at this moment he was pondering, relying on the comprehension of the Earth Element's Dao, to create a lightness skill body technique that belonged to the Earth Element's Dao! Lightness skill body technique, now was precisely Teng Qing Shan's weakness.
Suddenly, many figures appeared in the distance.
"Mr. Teng." someone shouted from afar.
Hong Qing Shan glanced at the distance and saw that it was indeed Xu Yue, the leader of the six elders of the Shang clan, who had arrived with a group of people. He couldn't help but smile and say: "Sixth elder, you've come so late, surely there's some good news?"
