"Honorable Gold Medal Envoy, your mission has been submitted. Here is a new mission that the Deputy Pavilion Master has designated for you to carry out. I wish you a pleasant mission."

Xingluo Bay, a secret base belonging to the Hidden Killing Pavilion.

It is said to be a secret base, but in fact, this base is almost semi-public. It is filled with noisy sounds and various unpleasant smells. People dressed strangely come and go from time to time, and some even take out a few bloody heads and slam them directly on the counter.

"Bill, please!"

A killer who was as big as a bear and couldn't be more conspicuous among the crowd spoke.

But no matter whether the killer is fat or thin, as long as he can kill the target, he is a good killer. This is the motto of the Hidden Killing Pavilion. The killers here are roughly divided into two categories: the direct killers trained by the Hidden Killing Pavilion, or the bounty killers from outside who take orders here to make money.

Naturally, direct line killers have higher credibility, and there are cases where bounty killers change their minds midway.

The direct lineage killers are also more powerful. More than 80% of the gold medal killers are from the Hidden Killing Pavilion, and 'Qianqiu' is a well-known gold medal killer in the Hidden Killing Pavilion.

He debuted not long ago but rose rapidly. In less than ten years, he had squeezed into the top ten killers of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, and his ranking is still rising.

When others discovered that Qianqiu was present, the entire Hidden Killing Pavilion mission base suddenly became silent.

...

...

Many people looked at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, their eyes full of fear and dread.

There is also a sense of worship.

The fierce clerk at the counter winked at Qianqiu and slipped a note into his hand.

Facing everyone's attention, Qianqiu had no sense that as a killer he needed to hide himself. Instead, he waved enthusiastically, like a star surrounded by fans.

He quickly left.

After leaving the base, Qianqiu rubbed his palms and crushed the note into crumbs that flew away with the wind.

"Although I killed innocent people indiscriminately and listened to music in brothels, I am a person with mysophobia."

He hummed a little tune all the way back to his safe little building.

He took out the letter that contained the new task and opened it with the special secret method of the Hidden Killing Pavilion. Qianqiu frowned as he glanced at it.

"Assassinate the Red Lotus Empire's third commander, 'Pei Ye Luo'? This mission is to kill me..."

The Red Lotus Empire is a super oasis force in the Broken Sea region, and its strength is even stronger than the Seven Star Alliance.

To be able to be crowned the third commander in this kind of force, he must be the top among the six senses, not necessarily much weaker than him. There are also many bodyguards around him. No matter how you think about it, this assassination mission is extremely difficult.

After all, his assassinations were always carried out in an open and honest manner, without resorting to poisoning, conspiracy, traps or other such means.

It is unlikely that the weak can defeat the strong.

What's more,

"This third commander of Red Lotus, if I'm not mistaken, is a representative of the 'resistance faction'."

The Broken Sea has a long history, far beyond the "young" domains such as the Falling Star Caverns and the Mountains of Sighs. Not only that, it is rumored that the Broken Sea experienced a war in the past, a war of indescribable magnitude. That war shattered several domains, and then the Broken Sea of ​​today was formed.

In other words, the Broken Sea is at least as large as several Falling Star Caverns.

There are oases of all sizes scattered all over this place. After countless years of development, a stable order has been formed. Unlike the large oases in the Falling Star Caverns, which are very isolated, the oases here are closely connected and often have intermarriages. They are all interdependent and governed by the highest super oasis.

Therefore, super oases such as the Seven Star Alliance and the Red Lotus Empire have a relatively large range of influence.

But that doesn't mean these super oases can sit back and relax.

The indescribable war in the Broken Sea region destroyed several large regions, and its impact still remains to this day, with both good and bad effects.

The good thing is that in the Broken Sea area, the number of evil creatures on the sea is far less than in other large areas, and it is relatively easy to travel through it by airship, which has laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Broken Sea today.

You know, the larger the team is when going deep into the gray fog, the more likely it is to be attacked by evil spirits. Therefore, most exploration teams have less than ten people, and only powerful chambers of commerce can organize large teams to travel through.

There are disadvantages as well.

Most of the time, the Broken Sea is relatively peaceful, but it occasionally "erupts". In the past, the remaining power of the evil god erupted in the Broken Sea, setting off a terrible wave of disaster.

Natural disasters are happening everywhere, waves of evil are coming one after another, and there may even be world-destroying evil that will appear and wreak havoc on the entire region.

Such disasters have occurred several times in recorded history.

This caused countless ordinary oases and large oases to be destroyed and disappear. Super oases like the Seven Star Alliance and the Red Lotus Empire were as stable as huge ships. However, even huge ships were at risk and would suffer losses when facing huge waves.

At one point, Xingluo Bay suffered a severe blow, and its current prosperity was rebuilt later.

"The protesters are those who advocate finding out the cause of the disaster and preventing and stopping it from happening again. They are not limited to the Red Lotus Empire. It's just that the Red Lotus Empire is an oasis where the voices of protest are louder."

"On the other hand, the conservatives believe that disasters are inevitable and there is no need to explore the root cause. The damage caused by the disaster is not great now. If an evil god is angered during the exploration, that would be a real disaster."

Most of the bigwigs in the oases today are conservatives.

Their concerns are not without reason.

only,

"The protesters said it well: we can't get used to disasters just because they keep happening."

"There may be evil spirits behind these disasters, fanning the flames. If we don't take them seriously, they may swallow up the Super Oasis one day."

He Qianqiu is just a small killer and cannot influence the situation in the Broken Sea.

Even, you can't control your own destiny.

Just like now, he admired the Third Commander of Red Lotus as a man who dared to fight against fate, but... he still had to assassinate him.

He could not resist the order of the Pavilion Master.

Killers like him were taken to the Oasis of the Hidden Killing Pavilion at a very young age to undergo secret training. In this process, most children would die, including his friends, his friends, and his friends. Only a few who stood out would be qualified to survive and be given the mission of a killer.

Everyone has his own destiny, and this is his destiny.

even so,

Qianqiu still held out a glimmer of hope. He went to a secret base of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and used a strange weapon to contact the deputy leader who had given him the task.

In the dim little building, the strange weapon emitted wisps of light, which intertwined to form a clear light curtain.

Inside the light curtain was a burly man wearing a white and green cloak, the hem of which had fallen onto the carpet. He stood with his hands behind his back, facing the screen. The sunlight coming in from the window filled the wide space and also made the deputy pavilion master's cloak sparkle.

Outside the light curtain,

The profile of the figure in the dim building became slightly clearer. He was kneeling on one knee with his head lowered.

"Mr. Deputy Pavilion Master Yao."

"What is it?"

"Mr. Vice Pavilion Master, I am no match for a strong man like the Third Commander of the Red Lotus Empire. This mission is difficult... No, this mission is impossible."

"That's it?"

The deputy pavilion master's impatient words interrupted Qianqiu's chattering.

"If it's difficult, then find a way. You are a killer, not a waste!"

"I'll give you two months to complete this mission. No matter what the cost, you must complete it. Don't forget that it's because of the Pavilion Master's training that you are where you are today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianqiu felt a stabbing pain in his body that felt like his soul was burning.

There seemed to be a brand, a shackle, imprinted on his soul and around his neck.

quite a while,

The soul-scorching pain slowly faded away, and Qianqiu let out a muffled groan.

When he looked up again, the scene of light and shadow in front of him was slowly fading away, and the light of the communication device finally dimmed, and the link was disconnected.

Qianqiu took a few more glances to make sure the strange weapon had stopped working, then raised his middle finger towards the darkness in front of him.

"Fuck you!"

"Why don't you do the assassination yourself?"

"Let's have a fight if you can, old man!"

After cursing for a while, Qianqiu sat on the ground with his head drooped.

He couldn't resist the Hidden Killing Pavilion, so what could he do? He could only accept it.

“Hey~”

"etc."

He thought of the whisper that came to his mind yesterday - "an opportunity" - an opportunity that could change his destiny.

To try, or not to try?

There is a saying in the mysticism that people who are targeted by such high-level beings usually have no good ending. If they don't try to become experimental materials, they will become...

But, think about it from another angle, he has been targeted, so what is there to be afraid of? The Hidden Killing Pavilion is already a shackle on his neck, and one more seems to be... not a big deal?

He put on the respectful smile that he had cultivated in the killer training camp, and called out to that existence in his heart.

quite a while……

No response.

Failed? Yes, that being did not leave any prayers directed to him.

Qianqiu couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or relieved.

When he returned to his safe house, the voice suddenly rang out again.

"Your choice."

By changing your destiny, you can gain gifts from destiny, but at the same time, you must also fulfill the price marked behind the gift of destiny.

That makes sense.

But, can I choose for myself?

Qianqiu pursed his lips and chose... yes!

A screen of light appeared in his mind, and with the sound of a 'ding' prompt, a wide range of options appeared. For a moment, he was overwhelmed and stunned.

His instinct told him it was fake, and his reason told him it was fake.

After all, things like transmitting objects through the air and granting abilities with a single thought were too fantastic, and he was very sure that mythological beings could not do that - myths were just great, not omnipotent.

What's more, this person's name and this person's organization are very obscure.

With this thought in mind, Qianqiu...used the balance in his account to exchange for a potion.

"It's really impossible... Huh!!!"

The interweaving of light and shadow gradually turned into reality.

The touch and weight appeared in his hands. He opened his mouth slightly, and thoughts came out of his mind one after another. After a long while, he uttered two words:

“…Fuck!”

…

"Great being, please allow Xiaoqiu to pay you the highest respect. It is Xiaoqiu's great fortune to be chosen by you. In the days to come, Xiaoqiu will devote herself to you until her death, for..."

Although your flattering words sound nice, this instructor still likes your unruly look.

During the day that Apostle Qianqiu was hesitating, Fang was also secretly observing Qianqiu's character, behavior, and the environment of the area where he was.

Of course, he didn't need to inquire about Qianqiu's life experience now, as it was clearly shown on the panel.

When he was young, his entire family was killed and his family was taken away.

He grew up in an orphanage in the Hidden Killing Pavilion and entered a killer training camp.

He graduated from the training camp with the first place, and fought his way up from a Black Iron Killer to the current Gold Medal Killer.

Xitina's first half of life was smooth sailing, but her entire life was destroyed in one day.

Qianqiu's life was full of ups and downs, but at least he didn't experience a disaster like the death of all his relatives and friends. It's hard to say who is more miserable.

only,

"When Xitina made the contract, she was able to directly perform the myth awakening, but Qianqiu was a little worse."

"That's understandable. One of them is the hope of the entire Oasis, investing all kinds of natural resources and treasures, constantly fighting and leveling up, developing his talents to the limit; while the other one has to work hard to make a living, is a 007 worker, and the key is that his income is not enough!"

Boss Fang burst into tears when he saw it.

The operation mode of the Hidden Killing Pavilion is very stingy. The bounty killers outside are paid according to the market price, but the direct killers inside? Apart from the initial matching equipment and strange weapons, they are used like cattle and horses at other times.

If you work as a prostitute with six awakenings but receive the salary of three awakenings, you have to think twice before going to a brothel.

Boss Fang just shook his head.

"Qianqiu's body control and the two-dimensional basic distance awakening standards are both a little bit behind, but it's not a big problem. His mystical accumulation is enough. As long as these two shortcomings are made up, he will be able to try myth awakening soon."

…

"...Will the myth awaken soon?"

That person's words kept echoing in his ears, and Qianqiu felt like he was in a dream.

"Can I also advance to the myth level?"

"The first step is to improve the basic sickle technique. The second step is to practice visualization and drink the potion. The third step is awakening. Is it that simple?"

His eyes were blank.

This first step,

boom--

The gift from that person fell, like a great force surging in the void, smashing hard into his body, bringing waves of pain and fatigue, while the insights in his mind soared.

"I, I've been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, but I've actually broken through? My whole body is transforming!"

"hiss!"

Qianqiu's scalp tingled, as if the door to a new world was opening in front of him.

Fang You looked at him and nodded slightly.

"It won't be long before the organization will have another legend, the third one."

"Well... the premise is that Qianqiu's awakening cannot fail. He can't afford to try it a second time."

"After that, through Qianqiu, perhaps we can establish a Xinhuo base in the Broken Sea. After all, this place is much more prosperous than the Falling Star Caverns. The strength of the Seven Star Alliance and the Red Lotus Empire is probably above the Falling Star City."

Of course, the City of Fallen Stars may still be on the rise, but some of the old antique forces in the Broken Sea are already on the decline.

While thinking, Fang You glanced at Xiao Huan's condition again. He was still in the process of transformation.

A little bit longer.

He had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and start handling official business.

Suddenly, Fang You frowned and looked through the ceiling to the outside world.

Suddenly, one blood-colored thread after another appeared outside the Blue Star world, interweaving to form a large net that enveloped the entire Blue Star.

Did not touch the blue star.

It did not impact the Blue Star.

only,

"Teacher, people from the Great Oasis can no longer enter our Blue Planet."
