Chapter 594

From his sweat-drenched forehead, he's also exhausted enough to be snappy.

No choice! We're scared stiff of being poor!

When the God-Slaying Pavilion was first established, there were only the three of us; we could say we lacked manpower and lacked everything—we didn't even have a single walk-in customer in the half month after opening.

Later, some enthusiastic cultivators ended up promoting us.

At that time, the cultivators who had experienced the Dark Tower's battle that slaughtered the Three Lords and Eight Venerables all recognized a few of us.

After inquiring from multiple sides, they also learned of the relationship between our God-Slaying Pavilion and the Dark Tower, so our business subsequently boomed wildly!

"Damn it, you can't even treat your master as a demon to mess with! My! good! disciple!"

Shanbao Daoist was nearly desperate.

You little turtle bastard! You shouldn't have chased after us from the sect! All you did was steal a few of my immortal treasures! I gave them to you—is giving them not enough?

"Take it, take it! You've worked so hard not for these, but as your master I'm giving them out!"

Having said that, he pulled a spatial immortal treasure from his pocket and casually tossed it over.

"Uh... Master, I can't accept this."

"This is bribery! It's a matter of principle!"

"Although you're my master, in terms of position I'm the vice pavilion chief and you're the guardian elder—I can't just take your things for no reason."

Zhao Jinzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke sternly.

You're using this to test the old-timers?

But despite saying that, his hand instinctively caught the tossed spatial immortal treasure and he slipped it into his pocket without blinking an eye.

Having said that, it's only reasonable for a master to show some filial respect to his disciple, right?

"Brother Zhao, Senior Shanbao, what are you talking about? What principle issue?"

"By the way, I have some good news to tell you!"

From behind came two voices and the sound of hurried footsteps.

Hearing that, Zhao Jinzhu jumped in shock, nearly dropping the spatial immortal treasure in his hand!

He quickly shouted: "Who! Who! Who put so many immortal treasures in my spatial immortal ring!?"

The newcomer wore a black robe, white hair draped over his shoulders, his handsome face lit with surprise yet unable to hide days of fatigue—he was none other than the core disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect and the master of the God-Slaying Pavilion, Li Yin.

"What spatial immortal ring? Brother Zhao," Li Yin asked, stopping in front of the two and speaking puzzled.

"Ah? Oh! Brother Li, you said you had good news to tell us, didn't you? I have good news too!"

"My master feels our God-Slaying Pavilion's development is still too slow; we've only recruited over three hundred assassins, and among them only three are Blue-rank Immortal Venerables."

"My father agonizes over this every day! He's taken out one-sixth of his savings and donated it freely to our God-Slaying Pavilion to aid development."

"I'm right, aren't I, Master?"

Zhao Jinzhu openly displayed the spatial immortal ring in his hand, winking and grinning as he spoke.

"Really? Young man Li Yin, thank you, Senior, thank you, Guardian Elder!"

"I will forever keep in mind the senior's kindness; I will surely repay it in the future!"

Li Yin was deeply moved, knowing that Senior Shanbao treasures immortal treasures as dearly as his own lifeblood; it's unexpected that he would freely donate one-sixth of his wealth.

Indeed, distance reveals a horse's strength, time reveals a person's heart!

Having founded the God-Slaying Pavilion to complete my sect's tempering trial, this is now a crucial moment for development; with these treasures we can massively recruit a batch of powerhouses.

The assassins' ranks are divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, corresponding respectively to Golden Immortal, Grand Luo, Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Venerable, God Lord, and Immortal Emperor—seven realms.

Of the over three hundred assassins recruited earlier, most were Immortal Kings and Immortal Sovereigns; the sole three Blue-rank assassins, who are Immortal Venerables, joined only out of respect for the Dark Tower's face, since my own cultivation as pavilion master and Zhao Jinzhu's as vice master is still too low—in their eyes we're no different from children.

Sigh... I don't know when our God-Slaying Pavilion will have Blue-rank assassins as common as dogs and Purple-rank assassins everywhere.

"Yes, yes, yes, take it, young man Li; this is my heartfelt intention."

The Kind Treasure Daoist gave Zhao Jinzhu a glance, then turned and said to Li Yin.

Giving this immortal treasure is fine; after all, we're not outsiders, and since I'm also a member of the Slay Gods Pavilion, the better the Pavilion develops, the better I can complete my training mission.

But I can't just give it away for free! This venerable one really needs to rest a few days.

"Mm, thank you, senior!"

"By the way, I haven't shared my good news yet—our Slay Gods Pavilion can now develop vigorously starting today!"

"I have already consulted the sect; several core elders will come to support us soon, and the Dark Tower will also send many shadow guards to assist."

Most of the core disciples are developing under the leadership of senior brothers Gu Jianfan and Gu Linglong in the Yanling Immortal State of the Canggu Dao Territory, so most of the core elders are with them.

After I reported for help, the elders saw that our Slay Gods Pavilion was developing prosperously, so they will come to support us soon.

"That's great!"

"Today really is a good day! Good things keep coming one after another!"

"Work hard, work hard, work harder! We will develop into the number one assassin organization in the world! Let countless cultivators tremble at the mention of our Slay Gods Pavilion's name!"

Zhao Jinzhu automatically ignored his master's slightly resentful glance, raised his arm and shouted passionately.

"Big brother, if I remember correctly, this is the location of the main hall of our Gods and Demons Immortal Palace."

"Huh? Slay Gods Pavilion? Which faction is that?"

Outside the main hall of the Slay Gods Pavilion, a palace resembling a dark fortress, the Five Eternal Night Emperors stopped their steps.

"Slay gods, slay immortals, then slay demons; the Slay Gods Pavilion in the forbidden zone of the dark realm."

"How arrogant! We are called the Gods and Demons Palace, they are called the Slay Gods Pavilion! And they built it on the former main hall of our Gods and Demons Palace."

One of the Four War Gods, Xing Kong, frowned and said.

"Don't act recklessly; this place is so close to the Dark Tower, it might be supported by the Dark Tower, the Slay Gods Pavilion... hearing that name, it sounds like an assassin faction. Let's go in and take a look."

The Eternal Night Emperor suddenly felt an urge to go in and explore; I don't know why, perhaps fate has its own design.

Having said that, the five entered one after another.

"Business has come!"

In the main hall, Li Yin and the two others who had been speaking stopped and all looked toward the gate.

Zhao Jinzhu was the first to rise and go forward to greet them.

There's nothing we can do! We're scared of being poor!

We haven't hired any guards or maids, and the assassins we recruited have all gone out on missions, so I, the Vice Pavilion Master, have to go myself.

"Welcome, you few, to my Slay God Pavilion. Are you looking to hire assassins? Want to kill someone or eliminate rivals? Rest assured, as long as the target's cultivation is below the Immortal Emperor, and as long as you can pay, my Slay God Pavilion will take care of it for you."

This statement contains a lot of bragging, but I have to brag, otherwise why would anyone pass up those deep-rooted assassin organizations and come to our newly fledgling small faction?

Actually, it's not really bragging… As long as you can pay, those senior members of the sect should be happy to step in.
