The Fourth Financial Crisis

"As a third-party hiring and killing platform, Tingheyuge only engages in intermediary business."

This is the general understanding of Tingheyu Pavilion in the Kyushu cultivation world.

In order to maintain its objective and neutral image, Tingheyuge has always promoted itself in this way to the outside world, thus flaunting its neutrality. However, just like the central bank has never been able to achieve true independence, how can Tingheyuge, as a private killer organization, be completely objective and neutral?

For low-level killers with little luck or status, Tingheyu Pavilion's senior management will not interfere in their private lives. They always pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand, and they perfectly maintain the "pureness" of Tingheyu Pavilion. The image of a third-party platform for hiring murderers.

But for some prefecture-level killers with special identities, and even a very small number of Tianji killers, the senior officials of Tingheyu Pavilion actually don't mind coming into contact with them in person.

Of course, Ting He Yu Pavilion has always valued its confidentiality. When senior executives of Ting He Yu Pavilion have private contact with high-level killers, they will often adopt the most stringent confidentiality contract to restrain the other party.

Even so, there are still very few killers who are qualified to have direct contact with the bosses behind Heyuge.

Because he secretly blended with his killers, he seriously violated Tingheyuge's neutrality principle. Once the matter was exposed, it would cause irreparable damage to Tingheyuge's reputation. Therefore, when Tingheyuge's senior management chose the target of the blending, He was also very cautious and even needed the consent of at least six of the seven directors before he could proactively reveal his identity to a specific killer. The outside world had never known that such a special killer existed within Heyu Pavilion.

Song Feifan, a female Shura Sword monk from the Infinite Sword Sect, is one of these killers with special status.

As an inner disciple of the Asura Sword lineage of the Wuliang Sword Sect, it is not easy for Song Feifan to cultivate to the golden elixir stage.

As a grassroots beautiful monk with high-grade spiritual root qualifications, from the moment she joined the Wuliang Sword Sect, she was constantly hinted by the senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect, saying that if she was willing to betray her appearance, she would become a monk with poor spiritual root qualifications. If she is a dual cultivator of the second generation of immortals, or a furnace cauldron of a certain ancestor, then the big bosses of the Wuliang Sword Sect will tilt the sect's training resources to her to help her, but if she does not know what is good and is unwilling to make If you sacrifice yourself, you won't be able to get any help from the sect.

As a cultivator, a Dharma couple, wealth and land are indispensable.

Just like what Elder Li Feiyu said before defecting to Huoyun State, the salary income of the Wuliang Sword Sect is simply not enough to support cultivators to practice to the Golden Core stage. If you want to achieve the great road, you must have your own side income source. If the sect The higher-ups intend to target a certain grassroots disciple, and that grassroots disciple may never get ahead.

Therefore, faced with the coercion and inducement of the sect's senior leaders, ordinary disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect have almost no power to resist.

However, Song Feifan is not willing to become the plaything of the second generation immortals and the big guys in the world of cultivation.

In order to prevent the senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect from choking on their training resources, Song Feifan simply changed her mind and officially registered as a temporary killer of Tinghe Yu Pavilion during the Qi Refining Stage.

Relying on the magical heritage of the Wuliang Sword Sect, which is far more powerful than ordinary sects, Song Feifan obtained a large number of spirit stone coins by killing people for her employer. At the same time, she continued to hone her combat skills, and used her strong combat power to actively apply for many times. Participate in extraterritorial battlefield trials to regain the merit lost in assassinations.

Since the Shura Sword's killing move is naturally suitable for assassination, and Song Feifan himself has quite good combat talent, this strategy of "making money as a killer and practicing combat skills, and using combat skills to earn merit in foreign battlefields" has formed a perfect The positive feedback allowed her to successfully get rid of the unspoken rules of the sect and achieve the financial independence that disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect dream of.

During the advanced foundation-building stage, she had already accumulated millions of spiritual stone coins through Listening to Lotus Rain Pavilion and foreign battlefields, and became a famous cultivation genius in the sect with her cultivation speed far exceeding that of her peers.

At this point in the story, everything seems perfect.

Even Song Feifan herself felt that she had found her own path to immortality.

However, when she successfully used these cultivation resources to advance to the golden elixir stage and received an anonymous letter, she finally realized that her original choice to join Tinghe Yu Pavilion was definitely the worst choice in her life.

In that anonymous letter, there was only one short sentence:

"Fairy Song, you don't want your sect to find out that you heard about the Heyu Pavilion killer, right?"

After seeing these words, Song Feifan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Since she advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, she has not accepted any more murder commissions from Heyu Pavilion. If her original commission from Heyu Pavilion had been revealed, she would have died long ago without a burial place.

After decades of living a peaceful life, she thought that this dark history had been completely dusted by history. Unexpectedly, someone turned up her old score again.

Song Feifan had always suspected that the sender of the letter was Tinghe Yuge. However, Tinghe Yuge had always been known as being objective and neutral, which made her not completely sure. Moreover, even if she was sure that the sender was Tinghe Yuge, she would not dare to Take the initiative to report to the Wuliang Sword Sect.

The Wuliang Sword Party heard that the Heyu Pavilion killer has always maintained a zero-tolerance attitude. Not to mention that the sender dared to take the initiative to write a letter to threaten her, so he was definitely not afraid of her reporting it to the Wuliang Sword Party. Even if she was lucky enough to report successfully, she had killed him back then. Those suffering masters will not let her go easily, and the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect will not let her go easily.

Working for Ting He Yu Pavilion is the biggest taboo of the Wuliang Sword Sect!

The sender seemed to know that Song Feifan would definitely have a fierce inner struggle, so it took several days before Song Feifan received the second anonymous letter.

This time the sender sent a special heavenly contract. Not only was this heavenly contract very strict in terms, the price of breach of contract could be death by being possessed, but it also stipulated a large number of obligations that she should and must abide by. And at the end of the contract, the sender also attached an address and another message that contained a threat:

"Fairy Song, the choice is yours!"

Faced with the threat of anonymous letters, Song Feifan had no choice.

So she had no choice but to grit her teeth and sign this unequal contract that was humiliating and humiliating the country. Then she followed the sender's request and went to the designated location, where she met Jiang Hua'an, the person in charge of the Zhongzhou area of ​​Tingheyuge.

Surprisingly, Jiang Hua'an did not make any excessive demands to her.

On the contrary, Jiang Hua'an was very polite to her, saying that both parties should continue to cooperate in killing people and selling goods. After completing the tasks assigned by Jiang Hua'an, she would not only get a very generous reward, but also after three attacks or three years of service, He would no longer use the excuse that she had worked for Tinghe Yuge to coerce her into doing things for him.

For this reason, Jiang Hua'an was even willing to swear an oath to heaven.

After realizing that Ting He Yu Pavilion was not a neutral killer platform, Song Feifan had no doubts about Jiang Hua'an's power. Then she saw that Jiang Hua'an's request was not harsh, but rather generous. This boundless man had no choice. The beauty master of the sword sect could only reluctantly agree to the olive branch offered by Jiang Hua'an.

Since then, the Haiya family has had a frightening exclusive golden core beauty killer!

According to the original agreement between the two, Song Feifan should have settled the money and goods with Haiya a long time ago.

However, things are not that simple.

Cultivators at the Golden Core stage consume too many cultivation resources. The wealth Song Feifan accumulated in the past has long been used up. In addition, she is not good at dealing with people, and she once offended the Yuan Ying stage boss of the sect. Therefore, in the Wuliang Sword Sect, He has been in a state of isolation and exclusion all year round. Even if he reaches the golden elixir stage of cultivation, the situation has not improved much.

Song Feifan's current official position is to serve as the guardian elder of the Wuliangjian Sect's mountain gate.

In common parlance on earth, she is the female security captain responsible for guarding the gate of the Infinite Sword Sect.

When Yang Lu and Li Qingning took the spirit boat to visit the headquarters of the Infinite Sword Sect, the two Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect who were responsible for interrogating visitors entering and leaving the mountain gate once mentioned that the Infinite Sword Sect would send a Golden Core Stage elder to the headquarters all year round. He is in retreat not far from the mountain gate and is responsible for handling emergencies.

And that elder in the golden elixir stage is actually Song Feifan.

Of course, in the mighty Wuliang Sword Sect's mountain sect, even if no one is usually on duty, no one would dare to take advantage of the situation and run to cause trouble. Therefore, apart from being relatively leisurely, this kind of security captain position has no profit at all.

Not to mention that Song Feifan could not get enough training resources, even the two handyman disciples in the Qi refining period had been planning to transfer to other positions.

However, this extremely leisurely job gave Song Feifan the opportunity to slack off and accept a murder commission from the Haiya Clan.

In order to continue to obtain the training resources needed for practice, she renewed her contract with Jiang Hua'an again and again, and Jiang Hua'an also provided her with sufficient remuneration every time, making her wealth grow as fast as those of the family monks.

But Song Feifan did not realize the most critical issue:

The murder commissions received by assassins in the Golden Core Stage are completely different from the murder commissions received by killers in the Qi Refining Stage.

Most of the targets of killers in the Qi refining stage are mortals without spiritual roots, but the status of the assassin may be slightly higher than that of ordinary mortals. A typical case is the white gloves of a cultivator like Han Fulai.

Back then, I heard that Li Wen, the killer of Heyu Pavilion during the Qi Refining Period, received a commission, which was to assassinate Yang Lu, a consultant of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce who had not yet participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference. However, that guy was rather unlucky and happened to bump into someone who was shopping with Yang Lu. Li Qingning.

In the Qi Refining Stage murder commission, the probability of the assassination target being a cultivator is very low, and unless it is a second-generation super immortal like Li Qingning, even if an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator dies, the impact will be extremely limited.

In comparison, the targets worthy of the Golden Core Stage killer's attack must at least have a cultivation level above the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. A master of this kind of cultivation can be regarded as a proper middle-level and high-level member of the sect in a local sect, even if it is placed among masters. Such as the Infinite Sword Sect, the foundation-building monks are enough to serve as foreign correspondents like Yang Chenglong and Fang Jiancai.

If cultivators of the level of Fang Jiancai and Yang Chenglong were assassinated, it would definitely cause a political earthquake in the local sect.

Although Song Feifan has not made many attempts in recent years, her assassination activities have been published in the "Cultivation Financial Weekly" twice, causing a very bad impact and even alarming the top brass of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Seeing that the murder commission she had completed caused an uproar in the Zhongzhou cultivation world, Song Feifan was also scared.

She wanted to turn around several times.

However, when she found Jiang Hua'an and said that she was preparing a golden basin to wash her hands, Jiang Hua'an told her, you can wash your hands in a golden basin, but you have owed too many blood debts over the years. There are countless people outside who are investigating the clues to your murder. If Tinghe Yuge hadn't continued to help you deal with the aftermath, your murder on behalf of Tinghe Yuge would have been exposed soon.

What's more, as an ordinary mountain-guarding elder, Song Feifan has never lacked cultivation resources. This matter has long aroused the suspicion of interested people. If He Yuge hadn't used the connections within the Wuliang Sword Sect to make all these matters If you suppress it, the crime of not knowing the origin of a huge amount of property will make you die without a burial place!

Jiang Hua'an's threat hit Song Feifan's weakness.

Although the other Golden Core monks of the Wuliang Sword Sect have more or less gray incomes, they are either backed by Nascent Soul bosses, or they have glittering resumes like Li Feiyu, and she, Song Feifan, not only has no backer, He was also besieged on all sides because he rejected the "good intentions" of the Yuan Ying stage boss.

Tinghe Yuge didn't even need to report her, he just needed to leave her alone and her reputation in the whirlpool would be completely ruined.

In fact, I heard that there are still many golden elixir killers under the name of Heyu Pavilion, but the reason why Jiang Hua'an chose Song Feifan for personal contact was because he saw her helplessness, and Song Feifan seemed to have fallen into a huge trap. The butterfly in the spider web, the more it struggles, the deeper it sinks, and now there is absolutely no way back.

She had no other choice but to bite the bullet and continue to cooperate with Jiang Hua'an.

And Jiang Hua'an has already seen Song Feifan's dilemma, so the tasks assigned to her are becoming more and more sensitive each time, almost all of which are major and important cases that other ordinary killers dare not take on.

Song Feifan was originally curious as to why this time Jiang Hua'an would rather pay the price of hiring a golden elixir-level monk to assassinate Hong Shiqi, an ordinary Qi-refining-level monk in Haiya City. However, she didn't expect that this mediocre assassination actually caused her to directly Faced with Liu Hanxing, Vice President of Lingshi Reserve Bank!

Not to mention that Liu Hanxing was originally a second-level golden elixir monk whose cultivation level was no less than hers. The vice president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank was also one of the top leaders in the cultivation world in Zhongzhou. He was far from an ordinary golden elixir level monk. However, how could Song Feifan not be surprised and angry when she suddenly had a long-distance fight with such a being?

This time she found Jiang Hua'an, she was here to investigate!
