The Ancient Zang Family.
They could be said to be incredibly famous in the Heiqu Dynasty. If a person's status in society was not high enough, then they would not be able to get to know such a terrifying family.
Without anyone to introduce them, they would never be able to come into contact with them.
The members of the Ancient Zang Family would not accept orders from normal people.
However, once they accepted an assassination order, they would use the entire family's power to complete it, and they would almost always have a one hundred percent completion rate.
Hence, with such a reputation, there was no need to even mention the price. A normal person would not be able to fork out that kind of money even if they spent their entire lives.
Of course, if there were orders that they could not complete, they would rather cancel them. That way, they would not be considered unable to complete them.
No matter what method they used, the Ancient Zang Family would ensure that they could complete their missions.
This time, they accepted an order from the Qian Family.
The Ancient Zang Family had originally accepted it happily, because they heard that their target was a foreigner, which made it easier for them. If it was a faction of power from their own dynasty, they might have to fight to the death for a period of time, and it would be more troublesome to deal with the aftermath.
However, there was no need for them to worry about foreigners.
However, during the next few days of preparation, the Ancient Zang Family discovered that the target of the mission was not as simple as they had imagined.
After a few rounds of investigation, they discovered that the difficulty of the mission was much greater than they had imagined.
There was also a series of events.
In the end, they discovered that the family master of the Qian Family had been killed.
That was terrible. Hence, the entire Ancient Zang Family immediately began a comprehensive evaluation of Li Zongjiu.
The family master of the Qian Family was the one who had accepted the order, and he had placed the order under Qian Tianding's name. Now that he was dead, what use was there for him? The order could be considered a dead order in the hands of the Ancient Zang Family. It was the kind of order that they would complete even if they died, unless they did not care about their reputation.
Since they could no longer cancel the order, and by the looks of it, the difficulty of the mission seemed to have increased.
Hence, the Ancient Zang Family sent a representative to the Qian Family.
He had a discussion with the new family master.
The main topic of the discussion was to increase the amount of money.
They could not cancel the order, but they had to increase the amount of money.
Qian Hailong and the others met the representative from the Ancient Zang Family.
"What, more money?
"I've already paid you all in one go, and you still want to add more? You're just trying to raise the price. Could it be that the mighty Ancient Zang Family is someone who uses such methods to seek profit?!"
The moment they heard that they were going to pay more, some of the elders could no longer sit still.
Recently, these elders had also changed some new faces. After all, they were new officials, so they naturally had to stabilize their positions. When they heard that Qian Xiaojia had also died, this matter was quite exciting.
The people of the Qian Family were good at making money, and their ability to keep money was also quite good. They held the money in their pockets tightly, and absolutely would not let it go easily.
When they heard that they would have to pay more, and the amount was so terrifying, almost three times the price of the previous order, they couldn't help but feel that they could do anything else with this amount of money. Why did they have to use it for something like this?
"There's no need for us to do this order. There's also no need for you to refund the money we paid before," Qian Hailong said calmly.
Qian Hailong said calmly. Previously, he had ordered the assassination of Li Zongjiu to gain some face for the Qian Family. But now, Li Zongjiu had killed his way into the Qian Family's territory and killed the current Family Head.
That was why if there was no need, they would try their best not to provoke Li Zongjiu. Besides, he was about to leave, so if they chased after him, they would be courting death.
That was why Qian Hailong would try his best not to provoke Li Zongjiu if he could. Sooner or later, there would be someone even more powerful who would take him down, so there was no need for Qian Hailong to take action.
If he did, then he would definitely kill Li Zongjiu, or else Li Zongjiu would definitely come back to cause trouble.
Qian Hailong believed in this without a doubt.
But at the same time, the people from the Ancient Zang Family were not to be trifled with.
Just as he expected, when the person from the Ancient Zang Family heard that, his gaze immediately turned sharp.
"Is the Ancient Zang Family the kind of family that takes money and doesn't do anything?"
"I didn't come here to discuss things with you, but to inform you!
You will have to pay for it later. After all, the price for this operation will be incredibly high! "
The person from the Ancient Zang Family said faintly.
There was an unyielding tone in his voice. If it were not because of the powerful faction behind him, this person would not have dared to cause trouble in the Qian Family.
"We, the Ancient Zang Family, do what we say. As long as we accept this order, we will definitely complete it. If the Qian Family can't pay the price, then you are just toying with us."
As he spoke, the person tapped the table with his finger.
Toying with the Ancient Zang Family?
There had been some families in the past who were killed by the Ancient Zang Family in the end because they had the reputation of toying with them. Not a single one of them was spared.
Besides, the Ancient Zang Family did not attack them directly. Instead, they killed them one by one in the dark, and they did not do it in one day. Instead, they did it over a few days.
But without exception, not a single one of them managed to escape.
Even if they wanted to hire guards, no one would accept such an order. After all, if they offended the Death Family, they would not end up well. The only outcome was that they would be easily killed.
To the people who were killed and were already dead, it was a form of release, but to the people who were still alive, it was a form of torture, because they did not know when the horn of death would descend on them.
Qian Hailong and the elders of the Qian Family looked at the person before them. He was simply too arrogant. He actually dared to force the Qian Family. Once they placed the order, they could not even cancel it if they wanted to.
They had to pay the money back.
"Alright, since we can't cancel it, then there's no need for us to cancel it. But I hope that the Ancient Zang Family can guarantee that once you take the money, you will definitely do it well!"
Qian Hailong said.
If these people could deal with Li Zongjiu after they took the money, then it would be a good thing. At the very least, they would not be at a disadvantage. Otherwise, if they offended Li Zongjiu and the Ancient Zang Family, it would be difficult for them to deal with them, and they would bring a lot of trouble to themselves.
It was not worth it.
Hence, if they could solve the problem with money, it would naturally be for the best.
"Don't worry, the Ancient Zang Family always keeps our promises!
No, our promises are worth ten million gold! "
The person from the Ancient Zang Family laughed.
Qian Hailong grinned as well. It was naturally good that he was so confident. If these two troublesome people fought against each other, Qian Hailong would be happy to see it happen.
No matter which side was in trouble, Qian Hailong would still be happy!
Heavenly Pill Tower.
Chu Tairan was holding a celebratory feast for the people on the flying ship.
After the tournament ended, they were sent to Black Canal Basilica, and only then did they have time to gather together.
"You've been drinking and eating all day long. Aren't you slacking off on your cultivation?"
Li Zongjiu sat in front of the table. These people had been drinking and drinking all day long, and they were truly carefree. Li Zongjiu was naturally talking about Chu Tairan and Zhou Zheng. These two people might be powerful, but they could not slack off on their cultivation.
"I'm getting old. The future of Heavenly Pill Tower will still depend on you youngsters. We're already at an age, so of course we'll just be in charge of enjoying our lives."
Chu Tairan laughed loudly.
The flying ship flew into the sea of clouds.
The journey back was clearly faster than when they came. First of all, they were familiar with the route, and second of all, the black storm had already disappeared, so there was nothing to worry about.
