The Illusionary World of Hongmeng Dao

Chapter 18 Dark Union
The Dark Union was established hundreds of years ago and is located in the City of Liberty. It mainly deals in rewarding various tasks, accepting tasks, issuing tasks to bounty hunters and mercenary groups, and profiting from them.

The dark guild is famous, but no one knows about its founder. Its owner has always been mysterious and has never appeared in public. Even the two vice presidents are not known to many people.But the reputation of the Dark Union is indeed top-notch.It is said that the dark guild once accepted the assassination of a sword god, and half a year after accepting the task, the head of the sword god appeared in the dark guild, which caused a sensation at the time.

One of the most famous characteristic occupations of the dark union is the dark walker, that is, the assassin.There are two types of assassins in the Dark Union: one is insiders who accept secret missions; the other is outsiders, that is, bounty hunters, who accept public missions.

The Dark Union has several rules for accepting assassination missions: First: Anyone who is offered a reward is a recognized villain. As a public mission, anyone who can prove that they have completed the mission can get the reward.

Second: Anyone who is rewarded by members of the five major families and the royal family but not a villain will be given a public mission, and the family or royal family of the rewarded person will be notified. The time limit is one year, and the mission will be canceled if it is not completed.This is the care of the five major families and the royal family.

Third: The bounty offerer must provide detailed information on the person being offered the bounty. If the information provided does not match the facts, at least 5 times the bounty will be added according to the situation.

Fourth: Double the bounty of secret bounty hunters.

Its main content is the above several.

On this day, the Dark Union welcomed a guest. This guest went straight to the secret room on the second floor where the task was released. It seemed that he was familiar with the Dark Union.

"Sir, what task do you need to release?" the service lady asked.

The guest did not answer, but handed over a note.

I saw the note read: Offer a reward to the eldest son and third son of the head of the Li family.The eldest son: Li Shuo, 14 years old, a fifth-rank master; the third son: Li Yi, ten years old, unknown martial arts.The rewards are 100 million gold each, and will be announced three days later.

The service lady was surprised when she saw the note, not because of the reward offered by the Li family, but because the reward for the two young boys reached a million gold.

"According to the regulations, the service period is one year. We will notify the Li family that the task will be released in three days. The time limit is one year. If the task fails, [-]% of the service fee will be deducted." The service lady said.

"I know!" The guest replied, and immediately took out twenty large-value bank notes of 10 taels each.

After the task was handed over, the service lady came to the third floor to report the matter.

Chamber of the Dark Union.

There are three people in the secret room, one is middle-aged, about fifty years old; one is about 35 years old, with a resolute face and murderous eyes; one is about 25 years old, very handsome, with cynical upturned corners of his mouth, the three of them have similar appearances.The older one is in the middle, and the other two sit on both sides.

"Brother, father, someone offered a reward to our Li family today." One of them said.

"Oh, second brother, offer a reward to someone from my Li family." Another person said.

"No hurry, just guess how much the bounty is this time." The person called the second brother said meaningfully.

Another raised his eyebrows and said, "20 gold."

"Hahahaha! The bounty this time is the same as that of the sword god who was a junior of my Li family last time. Guess again, how old are they? You will never guess this time."

"At least it should be a sword master. I guess it should be around 80 years old."

"Hahaha, eighty! It's wrong, it's a big mistake, the two together are not worth your fraction."

"Impossible! I am 430 years old this year, and the two add up to be less than 32 years old and yet offer a reward of one million gold. Does that person have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it!"

The middle-aged man in the upper position also opened his eyes, looked at the second brother and said, "What's going on?"

"Some time ago, there was news from the family that the third son of the current head of the family is a martial arts genius, and he has reached the level of a sword master at the age of eight, and told us that if his life is in danger, we must protect him no matter what the price. Thorough." The young man said solemnly.

When the middle-aged man heard this, two golden lights suddenly shot out from the tiger's eyes.

"Eight years old, Juggernaut!" the middle-aged man murmured.

"What the second brother said is true. At that time you were retreating and didn't inform you. At that time, we also didn't believe it. Later, there was a message from the School of Magic and Martial Arts saying that the third son of the Li family abolished two first-rank masters of the Nangong family with one move. At this time We believe it." The person called Big Brother also said solemnly.

"How is this possible!" The middle-aged man still couldn't believe it, he knew the difficulty of martial arts training.

"Father, look at this." The elder brother took out two bottles of pills from his bosom, "This bottle is the foundation pill, which can make warriors of the seventh and eighth rank reach the realm of the fifth rank in one fell swoop, and this bottle is the companion pill, which can Make everyone who has reached the level of a congenital master reach the level of a sword master in one fell swoop."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly fought, reached out and snatched the elixir, opened the bottle cap and poured out a pill, and immediately a fresh fragrance permeated the air.

"That's true, haha! My Li family can finally become stronger." The middle-aged man was holding the elixir, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Who made this?"

Looking at the excited father, the two couldn't help smiling knowingly when they remembered how excited they were when they just got the elixir.The family sent [-] pills of Peiyuan and [-] pills of building foundation, which is equivalent to [-] sword masters and [-] innate masters. What a force it is!The total amount of power accumulated in secret over the years is only so much.

"According to the news from the family, it was made by that kid."

The middle-aged man shook his hands when he heard it, and the elixir in his hand was so hanging that it didn't fall.

"This"

"Father, I heard that the kid got the immortal art, it should be, otherwise how could he have such a high level of cultivation and such an elixir."

"Yes, it must be a fairy. Hahaha, my Li family should be happy!"

"Father, look, what about this reward mission?"

"Well, secretly investigate and see who is not good for my Li family. If you want to destroy the hope of my Li family, you can only die." The middle-aged man exuded a murderous aura that was as real as he said.

"Release the task on time, and notify the family at the same time to see what the family will do. Li Yi, don't worry about it, those bounty hunters should have no effect on him. Xingfeng, you should protect Li Yi secretly! No accidents can happen. If you have the chance, you must meet that kid.”

"Father, don't worry, I will keep him growing up safely." Xingfeng replied.

"Second brother, with you, the god of killing, my father and I will be at ease."

Uncle Xiang from the Li family came to Li Yunfeng.

"Patriarch, there is news from the Dark Union that someone is offering a reward of one million gold to the eldest son and the third son." Uncle Xiang bowed and said to Li Yunfeng.

Li Yunfeng raised his eyebrows together, "Do you know who offered the reward?"

"There is no reliable information yet, but it is speculated that the Nangong family is the most likely one. The eldest son and the third son have only offended the Nangong family."

"Okay, you go down!"

Uncle Xiang turned and left, and Li Yunfeng came to his father's study.

"Father, Shuo'er and Xiao Yi may be in trouble this time." Li Yunfeng said to Li Cangwu, but there was no worry on his expression.

"The old ancestor Killing God personally protects anyone who can touch Shuo'er and them. Besides, even if Shuo'er has the strength of a sword master now, how many people can move them, let alone Yi'er, a master with unfathomable strength. In your opinion, why did the Nangong family go to the Assassins Guild to offer a reward? According to the strength of their family, it is not necessary at all." Li Cangwu said.

"A few days ago, news came from Shuoer that the Nangong family had sent two assassins with the strength of a sword master to assassinate, but they were killed by Xiao Yi without anyone noticing. They should think that there are seniors in my family who are secretly protecting them, and they are not willing to act rashly. Just use bounty hunters to find out." Li Yunfeng analyzed.

"Xiao Yi is becoming more and more unfathomable. With him here, my Li family will be prosperous. The Nangong family, Heng, this account must be settled first, and one day they will have to pay the price. What we need most now is time." Speaking of which, the old man of the Nangong family couldn't help but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"That's right! What we need most now is time. We have pills and exercises. If we have practiced for decades, we don't need to be afraid of the Nangong family. We don't care about their affairs. Xiaoyi This son is my greatest contribution to the Li family," said Li Yunfeng with a loving light in his eyes.

As soon as the million-dollar bounty was announced, the entire dark trade union boiled, and the news quickly spread throughout Liberty City and even the entire city.The happy bounty hunters saw that the two sons of the head of the Li family were offering the reward, and many of them calmed down.To assassinate the son of one of the five great families, one must consider the chances of escaping if he is hunted down by a big family in the future.Many rational bounty hunters secretly gave up the idea of ​​assassination. Money is certainly attractive, but life is more important.But there were also many bounty hunters who couldn't resist the temptation of millions of dollars, and rushed to Li's Manor of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy one after another.

When Li Shuo learned that they were offered a reward, it was already a month after Li Yi retreated.

Li Shuo and the others were not worried at all about being offered a reward. With the increase in strength, and the fact that there was a martial artist behind him who had lived for hundreds of years, what was left in their hearts was only excitement, the excitement of fighting.

It's just that a few of them unconsciously increased the protection of Li Yi's retreat, especially Wang Xiaohu, who directly lived in the small room next to Li Yi's retreat, constantly monitoring the surrounding movements.

The first to come to Li's Manor were two third-rank masters, and third-rank masters were already top-notch masters in the Jianghu.

"Brother, it's so quiet here! Let's retreat, there must be masters from the Li family secretly protecting them." A man in black on the room said to another man in black.

"Second brother, wealth and wealth are in danger. After completing this task, we brothers will wash our hands and quit the ranks of killers." One of them whispered.

"I'm afraid you have no chance."

"Who?" The two men in black shouted in horror.

Before the two assassins could turn their heads, they felt their necks tighten, and they were picked up like chickens, and then they felt a pain in their necks, and their eyes were darkened, so they couldn't see the morning sun tomorrow.

When the two reached the roof, Wang Xiaohu discovered their whereabouts.Wang Xiaohu was very angry and dared to take Master's idea.Wang Xiaohu quietly came behind the two of them, and easily dealt with them.

The secret killer couldn't help being surprised that one of Li Yi's apprentices had such strength.Then he murmured: "There will be a good show to watch in the future, this trip is really worthwhile."

Since the start of the reward, wave after wave of masters have entered Li's Manor, but Li's Manor is like a bottomless pit, none of those who enter can come out.There were as many as forty or fifty first-class masters who entered Li's manor in just over a month, but there was no news of those who entered, and the manor was still as peaceful as before.It's just that the bounty hunters are slowly getting chills.A bounty hunter who was trained as a sword master did not believe in evil and broke into Li's manor alone, but since he entered, people have never seen that sword master.

People are discussing that there must be a master swordsman from the Li family sitting in Li's Manor.

The bounty hunters quit the scope of Li's Manor unwillingly, and dozens of masters were buried in Li's Manor in just over a month.

Li's Manor has also become a topic of conversation after dinner.
