Zhou Muxi

The male Saint-level assassin gave Mo Tianxiao and his three companions no face at all, not even bothering to pretend.

The Blood God Palace in the Eastern Region at least knew how to beat around the bush; this guy didn't even try to put on an act.

Seeing the assassin's attitude, Ao Dalong's temper immediately flared up. He took a step forward, ready to curse him out, but was held back by Mo Tianxiao.

Mo Tianxiao didn't explain anything to Ao Dalong. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the female assassin, a smile appearing on his face. "Big sister, how do you think we should handle this matter? We'll listen to you."

"If you say the reward for this mission is only fifty million spirit stones, then we will only take fifty million spirit stones."

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in the female assassin's eyes as she carefully sized up Mo Tianxiao. "Why do you think I'm the one in charge, little sister?"

"The first one to bark is the dog. Isn't that common knowledge?"

Mo Tianxiao stared at the female assassin. "You are so beautiful, big sister, and you speak so pleasantly. Anyone can tell at a glance that you are the dog's owner."

"What did you say!?" The male assassin instantly turned red with anger. He stood up, his expression twisted and ferocious, glaring at Mo Tianxiao. "Are you calling me a dog!?"

Mo Tianxiao didn't even bother to acknowledge him. From beginning to end, his gaze remained fixed on the female assassin.

Just a guy who had barely stepped into the Saint Realm, acting so arrogant for what?

Guys like this who only knew how to bark would always be dealt with by the cold shoulder.

Sure enough, seeing that Mo Tianxiao completely ignored him, the male assassin's anger instantly spiked to its limit. A mere Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator actually dared to call him, a Saint Realm expert, a dog!

And completely dismissed him at that. This was a deliberate provocation!

"Go to hell!"

Saying this, he moved to crush Mo Tianxiao to death.

See? Even a Saint Realm expert couldn't stand the cold shoulder.

Beside them, Ao Dalong was just about to strike when a voice rang out, "Blood Butcher, stop."

The calm voice reached everyone's ears. The assassin named Blood Butcher stiffened and looked at the female assassin. "She...!"

Blood Butcher wanted to argue back, but seeing the smile on the female assassin's face gradually fade, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. He quickly withdrew his hand and replied unwillingly, "Yes."

Then, he sat back down in his chair with his head bowed, not daring to say another word.

Mo Tianxiao looked completely unfazed. "A dog that truly bites doesn't bark. Big sister's dog-training skills still need some improvement."

The female assassin smiled warmly, a bit more interest appearing in her eyes. "Little sister knows quite a lot. May I ask what your name is?"

"Nan Mo."

"Nice name. I am Zhou Muxi, a deacon here."

Zhou Muxi's gaze swept quickly over the group. "Regarding your request, I will report it to the headquarters. I can only do my best to fight for your reward."

"Ultimately, your mission this time was only a level-eight mission. Although the target's identity didn't match the reward, you should know the rules of the Blood God Palace."

The mission levels in the Blood God Palace were not classified according to the target's identity, but rather their cultivation and strength.

If a target's initial mission level was level seven, only a level-seven assassin could accept the mission.

If the assassin's assassination mission succeeded, they would receive the corresponding reward. If the mission failed, the mission would be upgraded to level eight, and the reward for completing it would also increase.

If the mission continued to fail, the final reward would eventually rise to the full amount provided by the employer. If it still couldn't be completed, the Blood God Palace would dispatch even stronger assassins to execute the mission, even if it meant taking a loss.

Zhou Muxi looked at Yun Sangyi. "However, considering that the gap between the reward you received and the reward given by the employer is too large, I can report the situation to the headquarters. Whether you can get a higher reward will depend on your luck."

"As the initiator of the mission, regardless of whether the headquarters increases the reward, I am willing to personally pay you an additional one hundred million spirit stones as a bonus reward. What do you think?"

Yun Sangyi was taken aback. Not knowing how to respond, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Mo Tianxiao.

"Cough, cough. Since big sister has put it that way, we naturally have no objections."

Hearing Mo Tianxiao's words, Yun Sangyi agreed. Although they didn't get the two Saint Weapons as a reward, they at least gained something. With an extra one hundred million spirit stones, plus the fifty million spirit stones obtained in the Eastern Region, and adding a little of her own, it should be enough to buy an ordinary Quasi-Saint Weapon.

Seeing Yun Sangyi listen to Mo Tianxiao so obediently, Zhou Muxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "It seems little sister Nan is also an owner."

She had called her subordinate a dog earlier, so now it was her turn to return the favor.

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao didn't mind at all. He even reached out and stroked Yun Sangyi's smooth chin. "Good doggy, bark a couple of times for big sister Muxi to hear."

"Woof, ah!"

Yun Sangyi's delicate eyebrows shot up. Baring her teeth, she opened her small mouth and bit down on Mo Tianxiao's finger.

Mo Tianxiao quickly pulled his finger back. Looking at the teeth marks on it, his eye twitched slightly, but he forced himself to maintain a calm expression.

"Big sister Muxi, see that? This is a dog that actually bites. Your dog still needs training."

After saying that, Mo Tianxiao led the group out of the floor. Yun Sangyi still tried to bite Mo Tianxiao, but was held back by his hand. "Are you really a dog!?"

"Didn't you say I was a dog? Let me be your dog! I'll bite you to death!"

Zhou Muxi watched their retreating backs, her expression stiffening slightly.

This girl didn't fall for it at all.

She had wanted to drive a wedge between the two of them...

"What an interesting little sister."

Once they disappeared from view, Zhou Muxi's eyes grew calm and unruffled. "Blood Butcher, go and check again whether Mo Tianxiao is really dead or not."

The heir to a top-tier faction, and the disciple of that stunningly brilliant woman, how could he be killed so easily by a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator? She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Furthermore... the death of the deacon in the Eastern Region's Blood God Palace was incredibly suspicious.

Blood Butcher nodded, responding like a cold machine, "Yes!"

On the other side, Mo Tianxiao and his group returned to the eighth floor. In order to obtain the Soul-Chasing Map, Mo Tianxiao decided to take up missions again and immerse himself in the profession of an assassin.

As for the mission he had accepted in the Eastern Region last time, he directly declared it a failure.

So far, ever since Mo Tianxiao became an assassin, his mission success rate was zero.

"Does Xiaoyao want to experience the assassin's life alone, or with me?"

Mo Tianxiao asked Huang Xiaoyao beside him while browsing through missions on a large mission board.

"I want to be with big brother!"

Huang Xiaoyao clung to Mo Tianxiao's arm. She had absolutely no interest in carrying out assassin missions; she was only interested in doing missions together with her big brother Tianxiao.

Being alone wasn't fun.

Ao Dalong wasn't interested in missions either. Right now, he was only interested in collecting all sorts of weird and bizarre dragon-related items.

Mo Tianxiao didn't stifle his hobby. He let him roam freely in the Great Zhou Dynasty to have fun, simply asking him to keep an eye out for anything related to the Blood God Palace's headquarters.

As for Yun Sangyi, she had already headed to the Floating Cloud Merchant Guild, preparing to spend a large sum to see if she could find a suitable Quasi-Saint Weapon.

After all, out of the four of them, she was the only one without a Quasi-Saint Weapon.

After picking for a long time, Mo Tianxiao finally found a mission to his liking. He took it down, registered it, and left with Huang Xiaoyao.
