Fan An said this seriously, but the man in black beside him laughed. "The combat power of the Condensation Realm is comparable to that of the Great Perfection of the Gathering Spirit Realm, and the defense is comparable to that of the Divine Warrior Realm? Are you kidding me?"
The man in black continued with increasing impatience, "My Lord, if you want to have fun, you have to see what this place is. My Shadow Pavilion is not a pushover!"
Seeing this, Fan An couldn't help but come over and said in a low voice, "Jackdaw, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I just want to ask you, do you accept this deal or not?"
"Yes, of course!"
The man in black laughed and said, "As long as you can afford the price of the Silver Medal Killer, we will have no complaints even if you ask us to kill a chicken."
"What if your assassination fails?" Fan An asked with a sneer.
The black-clad Jackdaw couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "My Lord, are you scolding us, the Shadow Pavilion? As long as we take on an order, there will be no failure!"
"Okay, it's a deal."
As he spoke, Fan An took out a jade slip and handed it over.
Jackdaw took it, and all the information about Ye Chen flooded into his mind.
"Ye Chen... looks to be only about twenty years old, currently in Xuanbing Royal City..."
After reading the information, Jackdaw stretched out five fingers and said, "Fifty divine stones."
“So expensive?”
Fan An frowned slightly. With this price, he could buy two divine-level magic weapons on the black market.
"My Lord, you hired a silver-medal assassin from my Shadow Pavilion. My Shadow Pavilion has a total of thirty-six gold-medal assassins and seventy-two silver-medal assassins. Each of them is a top-notch assassin, capable of killing with one strike against an opponent of the same level."
"What if your assassination really fails?" Fan An asked with a sneer.
"If the assassination fails, we at Shadow Pavilion will either return the reward tenfold or send a more senior assassin to carry out the mission until the assassination is complete!"
Jackdaw spoke decisively and proudly, "As I said before, as long as Shadow Pavilion takes on an order, there will be no failure!"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
After Fan An placed a storage ring on the table, he stood up and left.
After Fan An left, Jackdaw put the ring into his arms, then clapped his hands, and a thin figure appeared in the shadows beside him.
He was also dressed in black, with a black scarf covering his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
But his eyes seemed a little abnormal. Both pupils were tilted towards the bridge of his nose. It could be said that he had standard cross-eyes. However, his gaze was very sharp, and he looked like a fierce person.
"Fighting Chicken, this mission is now yours. I heard that the target's defense is very strong, comparable to that of a Divine Realm cultivator. You must not underestimate the enemy!"
Fan An's repeated confirmation of whether the assassination would be successful greatly increased Jackdaw's attention, and he sent out his most elite silver-medal killer.
As a top killer, he would rather believe it than not. What they do is a life-or-death business. To underestimate the opponent is to play with one's own life.
"Don't worry, Team Leader!"
The silver-medal killer codenamed "Fighting Cock" licked his lips when he heard this, and the fierce light in his fighting cock eyes became even brighter.
Then his figure disappeared in the dark room in an instant.
…
After Ye Chen said goodbye to Leng Hanjiang, he took the unicorn carriage given by the empress and headed towards his mansion.
After being conferred the title of marquis, he is now qualified to ride in a carriage in the royal city.
Moreover, the carriage was pulled by two unicorns, which was originally a treatment only given to those with the title of marquis. However, thanks to the empress's gift, he was able to enjoy it in advance.
The carriage was traveling on the broad road of the royal city. Passersby knew that it was the arrival of a noble and hurriedly made way.
At this time, Ye Chen, who was sitting in the car, was thinking about solving the case.
The most important thing right now is to find a breakthrough so that the problem can be solved.
I only have fifteen days now. If I can't solve the case within the specified time, I'm afraid I'll be in real trouble.
Even if the empress could really stop the Frost Soul King and prevent him from punishing her, this matter would be spread by people with ulterior motives, causing damage to her reputation and putting her at the center of public opinion.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the empress might not be able to withstand it and cancel her qualification to participate in the Battle of Hundred Marquises.
Ye Chen lowered his eyes slightly, crossed his arms, and kept thinking in his mind.
After thinking about it, Ye Chen still couldn't think of any clues to this matter. He had heard Leng Hanjiang say before that the female cultivators who had disappeared recently all disappeared suddenly without any warning, and their families did not find anything abnormal about the missing persons.
A living person just disappeared out of thin air.
Finally, Ye Chen decided to visit the homes of the missing female cultivators starting from tomorrow.
Just as the carriage stopped outside the mansion, Ye Chen got off and found a group of beautiful women in ladies' clothes standing not far away.
The one in the lead had an exquisite appearance and a graceful figure, standing out among the crowd of women like a crane among chickens.
It was Cai Yi, the general manager of the Xuanbing branch of the Xinghai Chamber of Commerce.
"Miss Caiyi, why are you here? Are you waiting for me?"
Ye Chen asked with a faint smile.
Caiyi nodded her head gracefully, her eyes etched with smiles as she said, "Yes, my Lord Marquis! I've come all the way here to congratulate you. I originally thought you'd forget about Caiyi after your meteoric rise to prominence, but now it seems I was wrong."
As she spoke, Caiyi ordered someone to deliver the gift basket that had been prepared long ago to Ye Chen's residence.
"Miss Caiyi is joking."
Ye Chen smiled faintly and shook his head. Just as he was about to exchange a few pleasantries with her, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Miss Caiyi, do you have any information about some underground evil organizations? I want to buy it."
"An evil organization?"
Cai Yi raised her cherry lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Why is your Majesty asking about this? If you want to investigate all the organizations that roam in the dark, there are so many of them that it would take three days and three nights to finish."
"I just want to know who is the strongest among them." Ye Chen said.
"The strongest one..."
Caiyi raised a green jade finger, "Of course it has to be the 'Shadow Pavilion'!"
"Shadow Pavilion..."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
