God Destroying Pearl

Upon seeing this, the owner of Baolingzhai hurriedly stepped forward and said to Master Liu from the City Lord's Mansion with an apologetic smile, "Oh, Master Liu, please don't be angry. It's our fault for not hosting you well. Come this way, come this way. I'll arrange a quiet place for you and we can talk slowly."

Having said that, the shop owner stepped forward personally, and while apologizing with a smile, he gently pulled the sleeve of Master Liu and his equally arrogant companions behind him, and walked together to the inner room which was more elegantly decorated and more private.

After Master Liu and his group were properly accommodated, the store returned to its former tranquility.

Xiao Cui, the clever female clerk, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw the arrogant Mr. Liu finally leave. She then turned around and gave Song Yun a warm smile.

She asked softly, "Sir, you came to Baolingzhai to buy some precious treasures? We have a wide variety of goods in Baolingzhai, and they are of high quality. We will definitely be able to meet your needs."

Song Yun shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.

"To be honest, I didn't come here to buy treasures, but to get some information first."

He paused and continued, "I heard that Sunset City is about to hold a grand auction. I wonder if this news is true? If it is true, has the auction already started? Also, regarding this news, how does Baolingzhai charge?"

Xiao Cui smiled slightly when she heard this, and there seemed to be something mysterious in that smile.

"Sir, please come with me."

As she spoke, Xiao Cui took Song Yun into an inner room.

As soon as they entered the house, Xiao Cui started to speak: "The news you asked about is actually not a big secret. As the information distribution center of Qingyun City and even the surrounding areas, our Baolingzhai will naturally have some knowledge of these important news."

She said, with a hint of pride in her tone, "As for the fee for this news, don't worry, sir. To show my apology for what happened just now, I will tell you this news for free."

After hearing this, Song Yun couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Baolingzhai.

He looked at Xiao Cui with gratitude, and then listened carefully to her next words.

"According to the news we just received, the Sunset City Auction is indeed about to be held. Moreover, this news was just reported back today, so it is very fresh."

Xiao Cui paused for a moment here to allow Song Yun to digest the information.

"At present, the auction has been scheduled to officially begin in seven days at the Yuhua Pavilion in Sunset City. Yuhua Pavilion is one of the most famous auction venues in Sunset City. Every auction attracts many buyers and sellers from all over. If you are interested in participating, you must hurry up and prepare."

After listening to Xiao Cui's words, Song Yun already had an idea in his mind.

Song Yun hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "I would also like to know more about the Hidden Killing Hall. I wonder if your store can meet my needs? How much does this information cost?"

Xiao Cui smiled slightly upon hearing this and replied, "Don't worry, sir. Although we at Baolingzhai mainly sell treasures, we also dabble in various intelligence information. We have indeed collected some information about the Hidden Killing Hall, but due to the particularity of this organization, it is not easy to obtain information, so in terms of price..."

Having said this, she paused for a moment, as if weighing her words.

"Thirty middle-grade spirit stones. I will tell you all the news."

Xiao Cui finally gave a price while observing Song Yun's reaction.

Song Yun nodded, indicating that the price was acceptable.

So, Xiao Cui continued, "According to the information we have received, the Hidden Killing Hall is a powerful assassin organization with a strict internal structure, a large number of members, and their cultivation strength should not be underestimated. Currently, the Hidden Killing Hall has two hall masters, one main hall master and one deputy hall master. Their specific strengths are rarely known to the outside world, but it is speculated that their cultivation is at least above the Nascent Soul stage."

"Every member of the Hidden Killing Hall holds a token with the word 'Hidden' engraved on it. They are divided into different levels according to their cultivation and the difficulty of the tasks they complete. These levels are distinguished by the identity tokens they hold. The lowest level is the Copper Token, and the holders are mostly cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, who mainly perform some simple assassination tasks; the next is the Silver Token, which corresponds to cultivators in the late stage of foundation building; the third is the Gold Token, and the holder must have the cultivation of the early stage of Golden Core to be competent for higher-level assassination tasks; as for the highest level, the Jade Token, it is prepared for those top killers who can assassinate cultivators in the late stage of Golden Core or even Yuanying stage."

At this point, Xiao Cui's tone became a little serious.

"It is said that they have successfully assassinated Nascent Soul cultivators. Although we cannot directly confirm its authenticity, according to the summary and analysis of intelligence from various sources, the Hidden Killing Hall has indeed had several shocking success cases. The targets in these cases were all at the Nascent Soul stage. This has also made the Hidden Killing Hall a terrifying existence in the world of immortal cultivation recently."

After listening to Xiao Cui's story, Song Yun was certain that the two people who assassinated him in the Tiger Roar Mountains were from the Hidden Killing Hall.

"I just don't know who assigned them." Song Yun thought.
