Chapter 54

The dim light pulled everyone's shadows.

"Do you still remember the glory from the distant ancestors..." A deep murmur sounded in this somewhat dilapidated hall, and it seemed to ring in everyone's hearts.

All the people in this dark hall were dressed in gray clothes, with long swords on their backs, and stood with their heads bowed. Their faces were ordinary, and they couldn't even tell their age.

If it is placed among the crowd, it is a face that will be forgotten.

At the front of the main hall, there is a tall statue of a man, it is a low figure in a cloak, but there is a little cold light at the end of his sleeves, it is the tip of the sword that is slightly exposed, just looking up, there is a chill on the face Coming, the invisible murderous intent was suffocating.

On the back of the statue, there is also a line of words that has been corroded by the years: "Killing is invisible, and you are alone in the world!"

On the high platform and under the statue, there is a long table, and there are three figures behind the long table.

Only the old man with a haggard face sitting on the left continued to say:
"Once upon a time, my hidden killing sect was a first-class sect not only in the small Scarlet Fire City, but also in the entire Scarlet Fire Territory. Countless people yearned for it, but they were in awe of it!"

"The patriarch has a sword in his hand, and the heroes of the world will change their minds. Killing people from thousands of miles away is just like picking something out of a bag. One word can determine the life and death of anyone!"

"But now..."

"Hehe, my majestic Yinshamen has been reduced to the point where I can be compared with thieves, merchants and other low-level rats!"

"The most hateful thing is that until now, even Pirates and the Wuliang Chamber of Commerce have begun to look down on us!"

"They all call me a bug in the dark, hehe, bug..."

Every time the old voice said a word, everyone's heads lowered a little, and some people trembled and clenched their fists, as if they had suffered a great insult.

Seeing that everyone's emotions seemed to be stirred up successfully, the Great Elder couldn't help but stood up and continued: "Outsiders only know that we are assassins, killers who can't see the light... and who knows that I, the Hidden Killing Sect, used to walk in the world with dignity, Sword skills are life-threatening, body skills are invincible, and no one can be humiliated!"

"Who knows..." The old voice started to growl loudly when it reached the point of excitement.

"Great Elder, Great Elder...Calm down and calm down!" The Second Elder next to him stopped him in time, and said with a dry smile: "Time is running out, I think it's important to release the mission, right?"

"That's right, there is a wedding in Gaojiazhuang on the outskirts of the city, and this elder has to kill a pig... Ahem, I made a mistake, it's a banquet!" The third elder also urged.

Seeing that the two elders managed to hold the Great Elder back, all the gray-clothed people below were relieved. Every regular meeting had to accompany the Great Elder to perform a show... so fucking tired!

"You, the third elder who hides the killing family, actually went to help other people butcher pigs?" The first elder was keenly aware of the third elder's slip of the tongue, and trembled with anger, "You...what are you doing!"

Being exposed by the First Elder in public, the Third Elder couldn't help but blushed, and whispered: "Brother, that's a wild boar with the blood of a monster. If you kill one, you'll give two spirit stones. They're going to kill a hundred today..."

"No matter how many spirit stones you give, that's killing pigs. Our Yinshamen's sword is used to kill people—" the Great Elder scolded.

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a group of gray-clothed men stirring up agitation.

"Kill one head and two spirit stones?"

"Third Elder, are you still short of manpower, take me and take me..."

"He can't, take me with you, my subordinate's Jueying swordsmanship has been practiced to 21 moves, kill the pig thief!"

The Great Elder staggered and turned his head to look. As soon as he met that cold gaze, all the gray-clothed men fell silent and returned to their original simple appearance.

"Brother, don't be too harsh on them, it's really... the world is hard, and life is not easy!" The second elder advised with a sigh.

"That's right, no matter how brilliant the distant ancestors were, it all happened 800 years ago." The third elder was also very touched.

"So what happened 800 years ago!" The Great Elder snorted coldly, "No matter how my Hidden Killing Gate withers, can it be that I can't even gain a foothold in this Scarlet Fire City? As for making a living, you don't have to worry about it. countermeasures."

"Oh?" Everyone was refreshed when they heard the words.

As soon as the great elder swung his sleeves, two disciples brought up a box of scrolls.

"Considering the reality, this elder has no choice but to let go of his status and accept commissions in this Scarlet Fire City. Now it seems that the effect is not bad!" A smile appeared on the corner of the Great Elder's mouth.

Seeing the large box full of scrolls, everyone's eyes lit up. What a task!
You know, in the past, they only received three or two tasks at most every month. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't go out to do part-time jobs.

Seeing that everyone's breathing became short of breath, the second elder couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother, you see that everyone is waiting impatiently, so hurry up and release the task!"

The Great Elder let out a "huh", stepped forward, picked up the first scroll, opened it, and read: "Accepted by Li Laohei of Shisanli Street, find for him... the five lost sheep?!"

After the Great Elder read, his voice inevitably became a little distorted.

Everyone's expectant expressions were also stagnant: "???"

Send us a bunch of assassins... to help him find the sheep?

"Maybe he's talking about some kind of spirit beast sheep?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, the second elder couldn't help guessing: "How much is the reward?"

"...100 gold coins."

Second Elder: "..."

It seems that it is just an ordinary sheep.

"It's just nonsense, it's unreasonable!" The Great Elder threw the scroll on the ground, picked up another one and read: "Entrusted by the old bustard of Tianxiang Tower, five people are required to participate in the New Year's Lantern Festival. Need... men to disguise themselves as women?!"

boom!
Not surprisingly, the scroll was dropped by the Great Elder again.

Unbelieving, he picked up another scroll: "Assassinated by the second son of the Wang family to assassinate the third son of the Zhang family..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally there is a normal one!
But the third elder was keenly aware that the face of the first elder was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, don't you seem very happy?"

"Because the second child of the Wang family is only six years old..." the First Elder was silent for a while before he said quietly.

There was silence in the hall.

"The third son of the Zhang family?"

"...Seven years old."

Everyone: "..."

The Great Elder seemed to have aged ten years in the blink of an eye. He returned to his seat without saying a word, obviously being severely hit.

The second elder on one side was still flipping through the pile of scrolls in disbelief, but he found out in despair that they were all entrusted with such things as "home guarding" and "door-to-door debt collection". To the one that says "crying to the grave to die"...

He swears to God, this is the first time he has the urge to get rid of the client!

Over there, the Great Elder seemed to have figured it out, and he sighed: "Forget it, third child, you can take them to kill pigs... Remember to change your face!"

"Wait, big brother!" At this moment, the second elder suddenly exclaimed, "Here is a commission from Wanghailou, and the reward is actually five thousand spirit stones!"

"What!" There was an uproar in the entire hall.

Five thousand spirit stones, how long has it been, I haven't seen such a "sky-high price" entrustment!
The Great Elder rushed over, picked up the scroll and looked at it, and couldn't help crying: "Bless the ancestors, don't let me kill you!"

"This task must be done cleanly. Whether or not I can use this to make my name as a hidden killer and embark on the road to revival, success or failure depends on it!"

"This elder wants this person named He Yu to die with a sense of ritual!"
