Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Langya Pavilion mainly deals in intelligence and illicit goods.

Upon entering Langya Pavilion, the interior decorations are far more luxurious than they appear from the outside.

The floor was paved with smooth white jade, the walls were adorned with valuable calligraphy and paintings, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

Inside the hall, several exquisite tables and chairs were set up, and a few people dressed in fine clothes were sitting there, talking in hushed tones.

At the very front of the hall, there was an exquisite counter, and behind the counter stood a woman in a pink dress.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, and a perfectly placed smile on her lips, making her look gentle and charming.

Seeing Jing Ke and Yao Li enter, the woman's smile widened, and she said softly:

"Distinguished guests, I am Su Mei, the manager of Langya Pavilion."

"I wonder what you two would like to buy, or whether you're making a request?"

Jing Ke walked to the counter, his gaze falling on Su Mei's face, his voice calm and even:

"We're not buying anything, nor are we placing any commissions. We just want Langya Pavilion to help us spread a message."

When Su Mei's gaze swept over Jing Ke and Yao Li, she paused for a moment, clearly sensing the murderous aura emanating from them, and immediately realized that she couldn't make the decision on this matter.

Su Mei composed herself and gestured for them to come in: "Please come in, seniors."

"As for the specific details of how the information will be disseminated, as well as the amount of spirit stones required, please come with me to see our Pavilion Master so we can discuss it in detail."

Then, led by Su Mei, they passed through a dark corridor...

They arrived at a large hall, where a middle-aged man wearing a mask was sitting.

Jing Ke realized that the masked man was actually a master of the Void Realm.

As soon as Jing Ke and his companion arrived, the masked man sensed a strong aura of danger.

The masked man rose and said, "Welcome to my Langya Pavilion, fellow Daoists. May I ask what brings you here?"

After Jing Ke sat down, he spoke to the masked man in a completely emotionless voice:

"We have come here to ask your esteemed organization to help promote our reputation. Those who are interested can contact us."

The masked man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was just a message being released. He had thought that some force was coming to cause trouble. As long as it wasn't a disturbance, it would be easy to handle.

"May I ask what the name of your organization is, and what kind of business do you engage in?"

"Drizzle Pavilion".

"The Drizzle Pavilion is an assassin organization. As long as the profit is enough, they can kill even experts above the Void Realm," Jing Ke said calmly.

He secretly pondered to himself, since the largest assassin organization in the Eastern Region, "Mo Yuan," could kill people above the Void Realm, then their "Xi Yu Lou" could do the same.

Now, he and Yao Li are about to break through to the late stage of the Void Realm.

Moreover, as time goes by, the monarch will resurrect more experts, and their power will only grow stronger.

Upon hearing this, the masked man nearly dropped his teacup. He muttered to himself, "Fine Rain Pavilion? That's a name I've never heard of before."

He then looked at Jing Ke and his companion, and asked uncertainly.

"Are you two telling the truth? You must know that without the corresponding strength..."

"But that would offend the two major assassin organizations in the Eastern Region, Mo Yuan and Blood Slaughter Pavilion, and they would inevitably take action against your force."

Jing Ke put down his teacup, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and a murderous aura once again filled the air:

"Just release it. As for Mo Yuan and the Blood Slaughter Pavilion, we have nothing to fear."

The masked man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly circulated his inner energy to resist, but he still felt a sense of suffocation.

The masked man was shocked. He hadn't expected that his opponent was only one level higher in cultivation than him, yet he felt as if he were facing a Nirvana Realm expert.

His gaze towards Jing Ke and the other man completely changed. He knew that these two were no pushovers, and that they must be fearless to say such things.

"Don't worry, spirit stones are not a problem," Yao Li said calmly.

"I want this news to spread to every corner of Qingzhou within three days."

The masked man paused for a moment, suppressing his fear, and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Alright, fellow Daoist, Langya Pavilion agrees to this matter and will release the information first thing tomorrow morning."

"My Langya Pavilion may not have much else, but its information channels are all over Qingzhou."

"You two can rest assured that within a day, the name of Xiyu Tower will surely spread throughout Qingzhou City!"

"I am Shangguan Hong."

"If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come to me. Although my abilities are limited, I can still handle small matters."

Shangguan Hong wanted to get to know the two men, so he took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Alright, I will come if needed. My name is Jing Ke, and his name is Yao Li."

Jing Ke did not refuse Shangguan Hong's kindness. Although he did not care much about him, the forces in the black market were deeply entrenched and might come in handy in the future.

After everything was settled, Jing Ke and his companion paid their wages and then left Langya Pavilion.

Once outside Langya Pavilion, the groundhog hurriedly followed closely behind.

The mole rubbed its hands together, and said timidly, "Seniors, I wonder...I wonder if there's anything else I can do to help?"

Yao Li glanced at him sideways and said in a deep voice:

"You have extensive connections in Qingzhou City. Find us a secluded house as a temporary residence."

"No problem!" the burrowing rat replied, patting its chest.

"I know of a residence located in a secluded alley in Qingzhou City. The previous owner was a down-on-his-luck cultivator who left Qingzhou long ago. The residence has been vacant for a long time and is very well hidden."

"lead the way."

The three figures flashed and disappeared into the night.

Inside Langya Pavilion,

As Shangguan Hong recalled the scene just now, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"These two are unfathomable and possess extraordinary strength. If the forces behind them truly have the power to not fear the other two major assassin organizations..."

"Perhaps, my chance has come."

Shangguan Hong was the third son of the head of the Shangguan family in the Great Qian Dynasty. He was exceptionally talented and showed outstanding martial arts talent from a young age.

However, because his mother was of lowly status, the head of the Shangguan family, for the sake of the family's reputation and stability, did not bring Shangguan Hong and his mother back to the Shangguan family or acknowledge their identities.

From a young age, Shangguan Hong and his mother wandered the world. Several years later, his mother passed away due to illness, and his father never returned to visit her. Therefore, he was filled with resentment and bitterness towards the Shangguan family.

Later, Shangguan Hong's cultivation improved day by day, and he gradually gained fame in the martial arts world. Only then did his father find him and bring him back to the Shangguan family.

However, the wonderful life he had hoped for did not come to pass, simply because his half-brothers looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, they made things difficult for him in every way. Until he was twenty-five years old, his father was ambushed and seriously injured by hostile forces, and could only barely stay alive with the help of medicine.

Perhaps knowing his time was near, he announced that all his children would have the opportunity to become the heir to the family headship.

Therefore, in recent years, the sons of the family head have been accumulating strength and demonstrating their abilities to their father in hopes of gaining recognition and being granted the position of family head.

After all, everyone knows that becoming the head of the Shangguan family is equivalent to becoming one of the top figures in the Great Qian Dynasty.

After learning that the family was going to choose a new head of the family, Shangguan Hong also wanted to compete for the position.

At the same time, he was well aware that the other brothers in the Shangguan family all had the support of sects and families behind them.

He had no powerful backing him.

Therefore, he wanted to establish a force and see if he could use cultivation resources to recruit experts to help him ascend to the throne of the Shangguan family.

So he came to Qingzhou City, established Langya Pavilion in the black market, gathered resources, and recruited many experts.

However, several years have passed, and although some grandmasters and even a great grandmaster have been recruited, there is not a single Void Realm expert left.

Shangguan Hong had lost all hope and was only thinking of giving up once the struggle for the head of the Shangguan family began.

After that, he lived in seclusion in Langya Pavilion forever, which could be considered as having a place to stay.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Jing Ke and his companion today gave Shangguan Hong an opportunity.

He planned to contact Xiyulou again to discuss the matter once Xiyulou had fully established itself, and see if it could be done.

Meanwhile, Jing Ke and Yao Li, led by the burrowing rat, found an inconspicuous house and settled down.

They did not wander around, but waited quietly in the room for news.

The next day

The efficiency of Langya Pavilion is astonishing.

Before a morning had passed, "Fine Rain Pavilion, accepting assassination orders; even the Void Realm can be targeted."

These words spread like wildfire throughout the entire black market of Qingzhou City.

In an instant, the entire black market was shaken!

Countless people are discussing this mysterious "Rain Pavilion," speculating about its origins and assessing its power.

Some say that the Drizzle Pavilion is nothing more than a boastful assassin organization; others say that behind the Drizzle Pavilion is a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm.

Some even say that the members of the Drizzle Tower are all top-notch assassins who can kill without leaving a trace.

Various rumors emerged, and within half a day, the name "Xiyulou" resounded throughout the entire Qingzhou black market!

Inside the courtyard, Jing Ke listened to the discussions outside, a cold smile curving his lips.

"The rise of Xiyu Tower is about to begin."

Yao Li sat to one side, toying with a dagger in his hand, and said coldly, "It should be soon that someone will contact us through Langya Pavilion."
