As a villain, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have a few hundred million different identiti

Someone has asked the Lord of Nevernight to take action, seeking out the Shadow Assassin to come out of seclusion and kill the Holy Dynasty's Prime Minister, Zhuge An.

It spread throughout the entire Chinese world at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, the Chinese people of Shenzhou were shaken.

Upon hearing this news, the disciples of those ancient aristocratic families who had been expelled from the Shanhe Academy were greatly encouraged.

Just in time.

News has arrived that the Great Xia Academy is recruiting students again.

Ancient aristocratic families and extraterrestrial martial artists, without any hesitation, directly chose to join the Great Xia Academy.

If Zhuge An is truly killed by the Shadow Assassin, then Shanhe Academy will surely collapse.

When the time comes, the spot for the Mysterious Realm will inevitably go to the Great Xia Academy.

They still have a chance to enter the Mysterious Realm of Heaven.

In less than half a day, the Great Xia Academy regained its strength and recruited thousands of disciples.

These thousand-plus disciples all came from beyond the Great World of China, from all the myriad realms of the heavens.

Of course, young martial artists from the Great Xia Dynasty also wanted to enroll in the Great Xia Academy.

However, he was turned away by Bei Yu Cang Qiong.

And at this time.

The inner gate of the Great Xia Academy.

Feng Xianhuo looked at Ye Chen and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Disciple, I've heard that the Ghost Doctor Shura has a grudge against the Ancient Desolate Clan... If you bring up the name of the Ancient Desolate Clan, will the Ghost Doctor Shura really be willing to show himself and heal us?"

Feng Xianhuo's voice became increasingly shrill, and his every move appeared incredibly effeminate.

A powerful sense of confidence flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

[An ancient and powerful family, renowned throughout the heavens and myriad realms for countless ages, naturally possesses the magnanimity to tolerate others!]

[By inviting the Ghost Doctor Shura to come out of seclusion on behalf of the Ancient Ye Family, I was giving him a way out, letting him know that the Ancient Ye Family is willing to take the initiative to reconcile with him!]

If I were the Ghost Doctor Shura, I would definitely back down gracefully and would never continue to be enemies with the ancient aristocratic families!

Feng Xianhuo nodded slightly in agreement.

As a grandmaster of alchemy, I do not have the courage to make an enemy of the ancient clans.

Now, these two pieces of information have been released.

Ye Chen even spent a large sum of spirit stones to ask the Heavenly Teleportation System to spread the news as quickly as possible.

They were just waiting for the Shadow Assassin and the Ghost Doctor Shura to come to their door.

Given the Shadow Assassin's style, he would definitely accept the mission as long as Ye Chen could afford the price.

Now, all that's left is to wait for Ghost Doctor Shura!

hum-

Just at this time.

A massive sword intent pierced through the void.

A young man in black slowly appeared.

In an instant, the entire Great Xia Academy, and even the Great Xia King who was standing nearby, were all shaken.

"That's... the Sword God of the Fourteen Provinces!"

"The Sword God has actually descended upon the Great Xia Academy!?"

At that moment, everyone looked up, their faces filled with fervor as they gazed at the young man in the black brocade robe.

The Sword God's Strike!

Throughout all the heavens and myriad realms, he is the second-best swordsman!

...I heard that the Sword God was still going through his rebellious phase ten years ago!

"Ye Chen."

Yi Jian's voice was clear and bright, yet sharp as a sword.

Upon hearing his name, Ye Chen suddenly shuddered.

An ominous premonition rose from the depths of his heart.

【Ye Chen of the Ancient Ye Family greets the Sword God!】

Under the sharp gaze of the sword, Ye Chen steeled himself and stepped forward, bowing respectfully to the Sword God in mid-air. His voice emanated from the communication talisman in his hand.

Yi Jian's voice was completely flat.

"The two tasks you posted on the Spirit Network—to find the Shadow Assassin God and kill Zhuge An, the Prime Minister of the Holy Dynasty of the Human Race, and to ask the Ghost Doctor Shura to heal the wounds of your Ye family elders—have been accepted by the Lord of Nevernight."

Yi Jian did not quiet down.

His voice, like thunder, rolled on and on.

Upon hearing these words, the warriors in the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom immediately widened their eyes.

"what?!"

"Ye Chen issued the order to hire the Nightless Marquis for 100 million high-grade spirit stones to find the Shadow Assassin God to kill Zhuge An, the Prime Minister of the Holy Dynasty?!"

"Ye Chen...how dare he!!"

The human race of the Divine Continent was immediately enraged.

Inside the palace, the Great Xia Emperor Si Jing shattered the dragon throne he was sitting on.

He stood in the main hall, looking towards the direction of the Great Xia Academy, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"What a fine family, Ye Chen!"

"How dare you plot against a great sage of my human race within the territory of my Great Xia!!"

And inside the Great Xia Mountain and River Academy.

Ye Zhe, Ye Jin, and the others all looked extremely grim.

"That idiot Ye Chen actually posted a mission on the Spirit Network himself!"

Ye Zhe gritted his teeth, "Is he really a descendant of the family head?!"

I was merely hiding behind the scenes, and only took advantage of Champion Hou a little!

Inside the Great Xia Academy.

Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded.

This is completely different from our previous calculations.

The relationship between the fourteen states and the Holy Dynasty of the Human Race is extremely close.

Upon hearing that someone was seeking out the Shadow Assassin to assassinate the Holy Dynasty's Prime Minister Zhuge An, shouldn't the first reaction be to concentrate all resources to protect Zhuge An and fight against the Shadow Assassin?

Why isn't that Lord of the Night in the Fourteen Provinces following the usual procedure?

Isn't he afraid that the Shadow Assassin will take the opportunity to strike and kill Zhuge An?

Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of another terrifying thing.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead.

[Sword, Sword God, are you kidding me?!]

[The quest to find the Ghost Doctor Shura was indeed issued by me... but the matter of finding the Shadow Assassin is truly unrelated to me! I implore the Sword God to investigate thoroughly!]

Even through the communication talisman, those around him could still hear the tremor in Ye Chen's voice; he was almost crying.

Damn the Fourteen Provinces, damn the Sword God, damn the Lord of Never Night!

As an intelligence organization, when accepting missions and selling intelligence, shouldn't it be one-on-one, secret, and with the privacy of the clients protected?

What kind of statement is it to say it in public?!

If you continue like this, who will dare to place an order with you for intelligence in the future?

Previously, when Ye Chen was making the plan, he felt that he had overlooked something.

Now, he finally understands what he had overlooked.

The mission to assassinate Zhuge An should be kept absolutely secret... at least it cannot be announced by myself!

Otherwise, regardless of success or failure, he will find it impossible to move an inch within the human territory of the Divine Continent!

A hint of mockery crept into Yi Jian's voice.

"Do you really think that the Fourteen States, as the number one intelligence organization in all the heavens and myriad realms, can't tell who issued the mission?"

"Furthermore, when doing business with the Fourteen States, one should go to the local church in the Fourteen States, not the Spirit Network."

When issuing missions to the fourteen states, it is essential to protect the privacy of the guests.

But since you posted the task on the Spirit Network, making it known to everyone.

The fourteen states have no obligation to help you conceal anything.

Ye Chen's face turned deathly pale.

Ignoring Ye Chen, Yi Jian continued, "The rules of the Marquis of Nightless City are: pay first, then we'll take your order."

"Seeking the Shadow Killer God, one hundred million high-grade spirit stones."

"Seeking the Ghost Doctor Asura, one hundred million high-grade spirit stones."

"A total of two hundred million high-grade spirit stones."

The sound of a sword strike, carrying a terrifying pressure, swept over Ye Chen's mind.

Ye Chen's legs trembled, and he found it difficult to breathe.

"Could it be...?"

One sword: "No."

Ye Chen: “…”
