Chapter 15: Entering the Shadow Killing Guild
"Decades ago, someone saw the father of the Blood Emperor on the edge of the wilderness, and for a hundred years, he has not appeared again. Even Senior Lin Mu Yu does not know the whereabouts of the Shura King. This is why Senior Lin Mu Yu took on a level 7 Yongbing mission, just to gather information about the Shura King."
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "That's beside the point; their lives have nothing to do with me. Miss Luo Xi, I wonder if the procedures for establishing the Yongbing Guild are ready?"
Immediately, Luo Xi's expression became serious as she said, "Please come this way and take a seat."
Once Yang Chen sat down, Luo Xi took out several golden papers from her spatial ring and said to Yang Chen, "This one is the contract for joining the Yongbing Guild. Just sign it here and pay a membership fee of ten gold coins."
Yang Chen complied. "These two are contracts for applying to establish the Yongbing Guild. We will each hold one; after you sign here and pay 1,000 purple gold coins, you can apply for your Yongbing Guild name. After that, you will be the leader of the Yongbing Guild."
Hearing this, Yang Chen was slightly taken aback. No wonder Luo Xi initially did not suggest he form the Yongbing Guild; it was indeed a costly endeavor. Just to establish a Yongbing Guild required 1,000 purple gold coins. One purple gold coin was enough for an ordinary family's expenses for a year. (1,000 gold coins equal 1 purple gold coin.)
"Fortunately, before I came out, Brother Chi Long gave me 10,000 purple gold coins."
Yang Chen quickly signed his name and then tossed out 1,000 purple gold coins from the Demon God Ring, saying to Luo Xi, "Let's name the Yongbing Guild 'Shadow Kill.'"
"Shadow Kill Yongbing Guild?" Luo Xi said in surprise.
"Is that not allowed? Also, let's use the shape of these two daggers as the emblem of the Shadow Kill Yongbing Guild." As Yang Chen spoke, he took out two daggers from the Demon God Ring and arranged them in a crossed position.
"Level seven weapons? Not bad at all, and they have absorbed quite a bit of beast blood; there’s a faint aura of Blood Fiend," Luo Xi exclaimed.
"I will have the best blacksmith in the guild meet your requirements; you won't be disappointed."
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Sister, just handle it. I need to take care of some matters first; I'll come back later to pick up my weapons." With that, he turned and left.
Luo Xi called out to him and said, "Aren't you afraid I might take your weapons and run?"
Yang Chen turned his head and smiled at Luo Xi, saying, "I trust you!"
Then he ignored everything else and walked away directly.
In the entire room, only Rosy remained, lost in thought: "Who exactly is Yang Chen? Does he know my identity? Is he deliberately trying to get my attention? Sister Xian'er."
Then, a striking figure walked into the room and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Rosy?"
"You tell me, who exactly is that Yang Chen? He casually handed me two seventh-grade weapons. These must be the most valuable items he has, right? Moreover, the weapons are filled with the aura of Blood Fiend; they should be his most suitable and favorite weapons. And he just gives them to me like that?"
Lin Xian'er replied, "Sister, you're overthinking it. He probably thinks our Yongbing Guild wouldn't be interested in these two sixth-grade spirit weapons, so he was being casual about it. Or maybe he figured we wouldn't swallow up his two weapons. Sister, don't think too much about it; it's just two sixth-grade spirit weapons. If you want something better, I can get you a Celestial Artifact or a divine weapon to play with. Hehe, I have some matters to attend to outside, so I'll be leaving first."
Rosy nodded and said to herself, "Those who use daggers are mostly assassins. The Shadow Kill Yongbing Group? Hmph, are you trying to tell me that you are an assassin? You casually hand over your killing weapons to a stranger? Are you doing this on purpose or are you just an idiot? What a strange person!" After saying this, she went to find someone to help Yang Chen create the emblem for the Shadow Kill Yongbing Group.
After leaving the Yongbing Guild, Yang Chen headed straight to the auction house, attempting to communicate with the person in charge of the Shadow Pavilion within the auction house.
Inside the auction house
"Get your manager out here; I have a deal worth tens of millions that needs discussing," Yang Chen said to a staff member at the auction house.
Sure enough, mentioning a deal worth tens of millions stunned the staff member momentarily. They quickly invited Yang Chen to the VIP room and reported to their superiors.
The urgency was immense; within five minutes, a man resembling a minor leader appeared before Yang Chen. Yang Chen slightly raised his head and immediately knew this was not the person he was looking for. Without waiting for him to speak, he said, "You’re not qualified! Get your biggest boss over here; I don’t have time to waste with you!"
Yang Chen knew that if he didn’t act strong at this moment or didn’t have several tens of millions on him, he would likely be thrown out immediately.
The man's expression turned somewhat abnormal as he thought about being reprimanded by someone at the Five-Star Spirit Warrior level while he was only a One-Star Fighter. However, no one could tolerate such disrespect. Still, he managed to say, "I’m Mengla; may I ask how you would like me to address you?"
"Who the hell do you think you are calling me brother? Get lost! Do you even have that right?" Yang Chen shouted angrily.
"Mengla" took a deep breath and forced down his anger, saying, "Please wait a moment; I'll go fetch Elder Ying."
Facing Yang Chen's arrogance, Mengla feared that Yang Chen might have powerful backing that he couldn't afford to offend. Until he figured things out, he absolutely dared not act recklessly.
Ten minutes later, accompanied by Kara, an elderly man in his seventies appeared before Yang Chen. In front of this elder, Yang Chen remained seated in the grand chair, his eyes fixed intently on his hands as his right hand gently stroked the Demon God Ring on his left hand.
The elder did not speak; Mengla also dared not say anything. Yang Chen simply sat there quietly as if he had not noticed their arrival.
After ten seconds, the old man trembled slightly, suddenly realizing something. He waved his hand at Mengla and said, "You go out first; I have something to discuss with this gentleman. Also, no one is allowed to enter without my command."
"Yes!" Mengla bowed slightly and then glanced curiously at Yang Chen. Seeing that he was still playing with the ring, she breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she hadn't offended this young man.
"I am the old man Ying Mo. May I ask how you came by this ring?" Ying Mo inquired in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yang Chen smiled, stood up from his chair, and said, "You're too polite, Old Man Ying. I am Yang Chen, and this ring was given to me by a beautiful lady."
Ying Mo exclaimed in surprise, "So you are Yang Chen? No wonder the Shadow Killing Ring is in your possession."
Yang Chen was taken aback and asked, "What? You know me?"
Ying Mo chuckled and pulled Yang Chen to sit at a table. He then said, "I finally found you. Three months ago, headquarters issued an order to find a young man named Yang Chen who possesses the Shadow Killing Ring and to assist him with all efforts."
Yang Chen was surprised and asked, "Oh? Do you know why?"
Ying Mo paused for a moment before replying, "According to the news that spread, this is a wager between the young lady and the master."
"Do you know the details of it?"
"This old man does not know. However, to establish a wager with the master, the young lady paid a very high price."
