Xiao Zhao said.
Shadow Fox's strength hovered around that of a ninth-grade Yuan Ancestor. In addition, his assassination techniques were already at the pinnacle of perfection. Sometimes, even Yuan Monarch powerhouses would be able to avoid his assassination.
The Pavilion Master of the Saber Ax Pavilion had been assassinated by Shadow Fox.
Normally, this kind of job would require a very high fee if he were to do it.
However, Li Zongjiu had given the order before, so he could only act for free and kill the person.
However, as a reward, the Shadow Fox could take as much as he wanted from the treasury. He only needed to leave behind the forging secret manual.
In fact, the Giant Saber Pavilion's secret manual happened to be in Song Jieyu's hands.
That was why she had been able to subdue the Giant Saber Pavilion so easily.
In addition, the blacksmith himself had suffered a lot of injuries during the struggle.
He urgently needed an infusion of power.
That was why he had joined Song Jieyu. If he had not done so, the Saber Ax Pavilion would have ceased to exist.
In comparison, it was clear that this method was more appropriate.
Originally, the Giant Saber Pavilion, which had split off from the Giant Saber Pavilion, had been able to contend with the Seven Star Flame Room. However, the Giant Saber Pavilion had changed sides too quickly. The people's hearts were not united. Even if someone wanted to, it was already too late.
One hundred low-grade Yuan Stones.
Just listening to it would make all cultivators drool endlessly!
Song Jieyu had clearly seen the potential of Shadow Fox by offering such a high price. Not only that, but there was also the Howling Moon Wolf King by Shadow Fox's side.
This was probably what Song Jieyu coveted.
A Yuan Monarch level Yuan Beast would naturally be a great help.
Now, it seemed like the Howling Moon Wolf King was following Shadow Fox.
Therefore, as long as he could bring the Shadow Fox over, he would be able to bring the Howling Moon Wolf King over as well.
This was definitely a deal that would definitely be profitable without any losses.
Shadow Fox smiled faintly when he heard this.
That little girl's taste was not bad. In fact, this was a very generous treatment.
If Shadow Fox had not met Li Zongjiu, he would have jumped on Li Zongjiu's coattails without hesitation.
But things were different now.
In the past, he had no fixed abode. If he could obtain the support of these large factions, he could just casually move in. Every year, he could just muddle along and wait for death. Perhaps when he was young, he would have advocated freedom.
But once you get older, everything will be different.
Everything was for the sake of stability.
Now that he was at Li Zongjiu's place, he could eat, drink, and play. When he was free, he could plant flowers, fish, and so on. When there was a problem, he could go out and deal with it casually. There was no need for him to show up at all. For example, if he helped the Seven Star Fire Room kill someone, in the end, it would not be traced back to him, Shadow Fox.
It was very safe.
Where else could he find such a good job? Only Li Zongjiu would have such a good job. Usually, when he cultivated beside the Howling Moon Wolf King, he could clearly feel that his strength had increased at a rapid rate.
The reason Song Jieyu wanted to poach him with a huge sum of money was probably because she had her eyes on the Howling Moon Wolf King.
But he did not expect that the Howling Moon Wolf King was actually Li Zongjiu's Meta Beast.
Although it did not belong to him, the thought of having a Meta King-level Meta Beast by his side made Shadow Fox rather proud. He was the kind that carried the wind with him when he walked.
Furthermore, Shadow Fox knew that the Howling Moon Wolf King would bite off his head without hesitation if he had any rebellious thoughts in his heart. This fellow would not be so courteous.
"Miss Xiao Zhao, go back and tell your young mistress that this old man thanks her for her kindness. However, this old man does not have much ability. I am already very satisfied to be able to live a stable life here. Please go back."
One could analyze the pros and cons of this even if they used their toes.
If it was not for Li Zongjiu's help, Song Jieyu would not have the strength and status she had today.
Therefore, in comparison, Li Zongjiu's potential was obviously greater.
At the same time, if he could soar again, he wouldn't mind at all.
There was some surprise in Xiao Zhao's eyes when she heard this. Recently, the young miss had also recruited some experts. However, the conditions and rewards that she had promised were not even half of what this Ying Hu elder had offered. Therefore, when these people heard that there were Yuan Stones, all of them rushed over like ducks.
They could not wait to work for the young mistress as soon as possible.
However, the number of true experts was still relatively small.
Shadow Fox was actually unmoved when he heard that there were a hundred Meta Stones. Clearly, Shadow Fox's self-control and cultivation level were very high. It was not something that they could imagine.
"Sorry to disturb you. I will pass on your words truthfully."
Xiao Zhao said. Before coming here, Song Jieyu had told her that Yinghu wouldn't agree, so she wasn't too surprised. She was just a little surprised.
"Tsk tsk, a hundred low-grade Meta Stones. Did I do something stupid?
That's a thousand and two hundred low-grade Meta Stones in a year! "
Thinking of this, Shadow Fox smacked his lips. He looked at the Howling Moon Wolf King, who had stuck his head out beside him, and withdrew his tempted gaze. If he was not afraid of being killed by the Howling Moon Wolf King's claws, he would have agreed long ago.
Three thousand miles away from the Sacred Flame Royal City, there was a Flame Slanting Mountain.
From time to time, the mountain pass would spew out a fire mist that resembled the roar of a fire dragon.
At the same time, it would be accompanied by a terrifyingly hot magma that would roll out from it.
Ordinary people would not dare to approach this Flame Slanting Mountain. However, there was a small town at the foot of this Flame Slanting Mountain. The town was built halfway up the mountain.
There weren't many people in this town, but every single one of them was an incomparably strong man. Every day, they would be topless because the temperature here was too high. They would often carry an iron hammer on their waists.
There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the town.
There were a few words engraved on the tablet.
Bright Thunder Craftsman Workshop!
This was the headquarters of the Bright Thunder Craftsman Workshop. Every day, a large number of excellent weapons would be transported out of the Bright Thunder Craftsman Workshop. The forging and storage production of weapons basically depended on the Bright Thunder Craftsman Workshop.
It was an exclusive weapon factory of the Qingyuan Villa.
Whenever a new weapon was developed, it would be sent to the Qingyuan Villa as soon as possible.
It was the armory of the Qingyuan Villa.
A large number of people were hidden in the mountain peaks that seemed to be bare.
When they learned that a top blacksmith of the Bright Thunder Craftsman Workshop had gone out to search for the Thunderslash Blade and unfortunately died, they immediately tightened the protection of the Bright Thunder Craftsman Workshop. It was too dangerous, so they had no choice but to take it seriously.
On a mountain peak.
Several Blood Robed Guards were sitting in front of a table.
There were three of them.
All three of them were Six Bronze Blood Robed Guards!
Ever since Li Zongjiu had killed these Six Bronze Blood Robed Guards, the defensive power of the Bright Thunder Craftsman Workshop had increased by 30%!
"I heard that the Third Brother died outside Sacred Flame City. Could he have been killed by the experts of Sacred Flame City?"
There were not many Six Bronze Blood Robed Guards.
The three of them happened to be the sworn brothers of the Six Bronze Blood Robed Guard who had died. As Yuan Monarchs, they naturally had more freedom than ordinary Blood Robed Guards. For example, they had four days off every month. During these four days, they could do whatever they wanted.
If there were no urgent orders, they did not even have to return to report.
Moreover, it also allowed them to relax a lot in terms of their behavior. They could drink and chat freely.
As long as they did not betray the Qingyuan Villa, they were basically equivalent to retired high-ranking generals.
The Sacred Flame Royal City was a forbidden area for the Blood Robed Guards.
There were still many targets of the Blood Robed Guards who hid in the Sacred Flame Royal City all day long.
If they attacked the Sacred Flame Royal City in the future, they would definitely catch these bastards and give them a good beating!
