The Dao of the Primordial World

Chapter 18 - Dark Union

The Dark Union was famous throughout the continent, but no one knew who created it. Its owner had always been a mystery, and never showed his face in public. But the Dark Union's reputation was indeed first-rate. It was said that Dark Union had once accepted a quest to assassinate a Sword God. Half a year later, the head of the Sword God appeared in Dark Union.

One of the most famous professions in the Dark Union was the Dark Maker, which was also known as the Assassin. There were two types of assassins in the Dark Union. One was for internal personnel, who would accept secret missions, and the other was for external personnel, who were bounty hunters, who would accept public missions.

The Dark Union had several rules regarding accepting assassination missions: Firstly, anyone who was publicly accepted as an evil person would receive a reward as long as they could prove that they completed the mission.

Second: Those who are offered rewards as members of the five great clans and the royal family are not villains, do public tasks and notify the family or royal family of the reward. If the mission is not completed within one year, then the mission will be revoked. This was the care of the members of the five great families and the royal family.

Number three: The bounty holder must provide detailed information about the bounty holder. The information does not match the facts, and the bounty will be increased by at least five times according to the circumstances.

Fourth: The bounty on the secret bounty is doubled.

These are the main contents.

On this day, Dark Union received a guest who headed straight to the second floor's secret room where the mission was posted. It seemed like he was very familiar with Dark Union.

"Sir, may I know what kind of mission you would like to post?" the waitress asked.

The guest did not answer. Instead, he handed over a piece of paper.

On the slip of paper, it read: "Bounty to the Li family's Patriarch, Young Master, and Third Young Master." First Young Master: Li Shuo, 14 years old, Fifth Rank expert; Third Young Master: Li Yi, 10 years old, martial arts unknown. The bounty of one million gold each was announced three days later.

The servant girl was shocked when she saw the slip of paper. It wasn't because of the bounty on the Li family members, but because the bounty on the two youths was actually a million gold.

"According to the rules, the service will be for one year. We will inform the Li Family that the mission will be issued three days later, and the time limit will be one year. If the mission fails, 10% of the service fee will be deducted." The service lady said.

"I know!" "Yes, sir," the customer replied, and took out twenty large banknotes for a hundred thousand each.

After handing in the task, the service lady went to the third floor to report the matter.

Dark Union's secret room.

There were three people in the secret chamber, one was a middle-aged man in his fifties while the other was in his mid-thirties. His expression was resolute and his eyes were filled with killing intent. The other was in his mid-twenties. The older ones sat in the middle, the other two on either side.

"Big Brother, Father, there's actually a bounty placed on our Li family members today." One of them said.

"Oh, Second Brother, which great figure of the Li Family is this bounty?" Another person said.

"No rush, first guess what the bounty will be." The one who called him second brother said in a very meaningful manner.

Another person raised an eyebrow and said, "Two hundred thousand gold."

"Hahahaha!" The bounty this time is actually the same as the bounty for my Li family's younger generation's Sword God. Guess how old they are. This time you'll never guess. "

"He should be at least at the Sword Saint level. I guess he should be around 80 years old."

"Hahaha, eighty!" Wrong, I was wrong. The two of them added up can't even compare to a fraction of your strength. "

"Impossible!" I'm four hundred and thirty-two years old this year, and the two of them together are not even thirty-two years old and yet they're offering a bounty of one million gold. It was hard to agree with those who were called big brothers.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"The clan has sent a message that the current patriarch's third son is a martial genius and has already reached the Sword Saint Realm at the age of eight. They have also informed us that if his life is in danger, no matter what price we have to pay, we must protect him." The young ones solemnly said.

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes shot out two beams of golden light.

"Eight years old, Sword Saint!" The middle-aged man mumbled.

"What Second Brother said was true. At that time, you were in closed door cultivation and did not inform you." At that time we were also a little disbelieving, but after a piece of information was sent from the Devil Martial Academy, it was said that the Third Young Master of the Li Family crippled two first grade experts of the Nan Gong Family in one move, only then did we believe him. " The man who had been addressed as' big brother 'said solemnly as well.

"How is this possible!" The middle-aged man was still in disbelief. He knew very well how difficult it was to practice martial arts.

"Father, take a look at this." The elder brother took out two bottles of pills, "This bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills can help a level seven or eight martial artist reach the Fifth Grade of the Innate in one go. This bottle of Yuan Dan can help any Xiantian martial artist reach the level of Sword Saint in one fell swoop."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly stood up and grabbed the pill. He opened the bottle and took out a pill. Instantly, a sweet fragrance filled the air.

"That's true, haha! "My Li family can at least get stronger." Holding the pill, the middle-aged man's hands trembled in agitation.

"Who refined this?"

Looking at their excited father, the two of them couldn't help but smile as they recalled their excited expressions when they received the pill. If the clan sent twenty Energy Cultivation Pills and forty Foundation Establishment Pills, that would be equivalent to twenty Sword Saints and forty Xiantian experts. That would be a great amount of power! He had only accumulated so much power in the past few years.

"According to the clan's reports, it was that kid who refined the pill."

Hearing his words, the middle-aged man's hands trembled, and the pill in his hands slowly fell to the floor.

"This …"

"Father, I heard that the boy obtained the cultivation of an immortal. That should be the case. Otherwise, how could he have such a high level of cultivation and immortal pellets like this?"

"Yes, it must be an immortal. "Hahaha, my Li family is in the mood!"

"Father, look. What do you think about this bounty mission?"

"About this, secretly investigate and see who's doing harm to my Li Clan. If you want to destroy my Li Clan's hope, you can only die." As he spoke, the middle-aged man exuded a killing intent.

"Issue the mission on time and notify the family at the same time. We'll see what they do." As for Li Yi, there was no need to care about him, those bounty hunters should not have any effect on him. Xing Feng, just protect Li Yi secretly! No accidents can happen. If there's a chance, you must definitely see that brat. "

"Father, don't worry. I'm here to ensure his safety and growth." Xing Feng replied.

"Second Brother, with a God of Slaughter like you here, Father and I will be at ease."

Li family Uncle Xiang arrived in front of Li Yunfeng.

"Patriarch, news has come from Dark Union. Someone is offering a bounty of one million gold to Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master." Uncle Xiang bowed and said to Li Yunfeng.

Li Yunfeng frowned: "Do you know who placed the bounty on you?"

"There is still no reliable news yet, but it is most likely that the Nangong family. Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master can only offend the Nangong family."

"Alright, you go down and take a look!"

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

"Father, Master and Little Yi are probably in trouble this time." Li Yunfeng said to Li Cangwu, but his expression did not show any worry.

"With the ancestor's god of slaughter personally protecting them, who would be able to touch Shuo'er and the others? Besides, with her current Sword Saint strength, how many would be able to do anything to them? Furthermore, Yi Er, an expert with unfathomable strength is here. In your opinion, with the strength of their family, there is no need for the Nangong family to place a bounty on the Assassin Guild. " Li Cangwu said.

"A few days ago, I received news that the Nan Gong family had sent two assassins with the strength of a Sword Saint to assassinate them and that they were killed by Xiao Yi without anyone noticing. They probably thought that with the protection of my senior, they were unwilling to act rashly and used the bounty hunters to investigate." Li Yunfeng analyzed.

"Xiaoyi is becoming more and more unfathomable. With him here, my Li family will be happy." Nangong Family, Hen, there will be a day when I have to make them pay for this. What we need most right now is time. " As he spoke, the Nangong family's old man's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"That's right!" What we need the most now is time, we have the pills and the cultivation technique, if we were to cultivate for a few decades, we wouldn't need to be afraid of the Nangong family. "Don't worry about them, having Xiao Yi as my son is my greatest contribution to the Li Family," Saying this, Li Yunfeng's eyes flashed with the light of love.

Once the bounty of one million was announced, the entire Dark Union was in an uproar, and the news quickly spread across the entire Free City and even the entire continent. The happy bounty hunters calmed down when they saw that the bounty was being placed by the two young masters of the Li family's Patriarch. If he wanted to assassinate the young master of one of the five great clans, then he had to consider the possibility of him escaping being hunted down by one of the five great clans. Many rational bounty hunters quietly gave up on the idea of assassins. Money was indeed attractive, but life was more important. However, there were also many bounty hunters who could not resist the temptation of the one million gold. They all rushed towards the Devil Martial Academy's Li Residence.

When Li Shuo found out that they had been offered a bounty, it was already a month later.

Regarding the bounty, Li Shuo and the others were not worried at all. With the increase in strength and the fact that there was a dual warrior and mage who had lived for hundreds of years behind them, they were very excited about the battle.

Only the few of them unconsciously increased the amount of protection for Li Yi's seclusion, especially Wang Xiaohu's, as he directly stayed in a small house beside Li Yi's seclusion, constantly monitoring his surroundings.

The first people to come to the Li Residence were two third rank experts. In the martial arts world, third rank experts were already considered as first class experts.

"Big brother, it's so quiet here!" Let's retreat. There must be a Li family expert protecting them in the dark. " One of the men in black on the room said to the other man in black.

"Brother, wealth comes from danger. After completing this mission, we brothers will wash our hands and withdraw from the ranks of the assassins." one of them whispered.

"I'm afraid you won't have the chance."

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

Before the two assassins could even turn their heads around, they felt something tighten around their necks, and they were lifted up like chicks. Then they felt a sharp pain on their necks.

Just as the two reached the rooftop, Wang Xiaohu discovered their whereabouts. Wang Xiaohu was very angry. Wang Xiaohu quietly came behind the two of them and easily killed them.

The God of Slaughter was secretly shocked, one of Li Yi's disciples actually had such strength. And then he murmured, "There will be a good show in the future. This trip will be worth it."

Since the beginning of the bounty, wave after wave of experts entered the Li Residence. However, the Li Residence was like a bottomless pit, and no one who entered would be able to come out. In a mere month, the number of first-rate experts that entered the Li Residence amounted to forty to fifty. However, there was no news of anyone entering, and the manor was as calm as before. However, the bounty giver's heart slowly turned cold. A bounty giver with the cultivation of a Sword Saint refused to believe Xie had barged into Li's manor alone. However, ever since he had entered, no one had seen the Sword Saint.

Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. The Li Residence must have had a Sword God expert overseeing it.

The bounty hunters reluctantly left the vicinity of the Li Residence. In just a month, there were dozens of experts buried at the Li Manor. This caused quite a stir in the peaceful world.

The Li Residence had also become the topic of conversation.
