Fu Jiu had already touched the threshold of the third tier a few days ago. He only needed an external stimulus to enter the third tier, and the battle just now was the trigger for his advancement.

The one-eyed mercenary looked bewildered, still somewhat confused. What was going on? Weren't you just talking to me? I only lowered my head, how did you advance in rank?

"Please excuse my foolishness, Brother One-Eyed. I had some insights during the battle just now and luckily advanced to the next level," Fu Jiu said with a "sincere" smile. An uninformed person might actually believe it.

The one-eyed mercenary rolled his eyes. "You think you've advanced just because you've gained some insights? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"

The fact that one of the three was a third-level cultivator had already tempted him to recruit him, and now that another one had advanced to the third level on the spot, he couldn't help but be tempted.

As for the other person, even if we haven't seen anything special about them yet, they must be someone who isn't an ordinary person to be able to stay with these two.

The one-eyed mercenary said with a strange expression, "Then congratulations on reaching the third tier, young brother. I look forward to cooperating with you in the future."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Fu Jiu knew that he must have encountered a high-ranking member of the Dragon Slayer Pavilion this time, otherwise the other party would not have dared to finalize this matter on their own.

"If it's convenient for you brothers, please state your names first, and I'll take you directly to see the Pavilion Master later."

“Okay.” Fu Jiu readily agreed. Now that the cooperation had been decided, meeting the Pavilion Master of Zhanlong Pavilion was only a matter of time.

"My name is Fu Jiu, and these two are my brothers, Bai Qi and Li Si." When mentioning Bai Qi and Li Si, Fu Jiu couldn't help but show a proud expression. Being able to make these two true friends was indeed a great blessing in his life.

"From now on, we're all family. Please take good care of me, Brother Fu Jiu."

One-Eyed didn't ask about the three men's backgrounds, partly because they weren't familiar with each other yet, and if he asked rashly, they would probably just give him a vague answer.

Many gangsters don't like others asking about their families, because if their family information falls into someone else's hands, it's like giving them leverage over them.

Often, they subconsciously ignore this issue. Even if they do investigate, they do it secretly, because speaking out will only annoy people.

Secondly, no matter what their intentions are, once the news of today's battle gets out, these three will have completely offended Black Dragon.

With no other options, they had no choice but to tie themselves firmly to the Dragon Slayer Pavilion, hoping that they might eventually be incorporated into it.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while longer, and only set off for the Dragon Slayer Pavilion after their men had finished packing.

During the journey, Fu Jiu refused the one-eyed man's offer to travel with him and stayed at the very back of the group with Bai Qi and Li Si.

He calmly handed the two of them a few Qi and Blood Fruits.

"Replenish your energy, and we'll see how things go. If things don't look good, we'll retreat immediately," Fu Jiu whispered a reminder.

"Although there are rumors that the leader of the Dragon Slaying Pavilion is a righteous person, whether he is righteous or not depends entirely on their words. We have never seen him in person, so we have to be careful."

"Okay, okay," Li Si said, pursing his lips.

"Who knows, maybe that guy is a lecherous old man. What if he takes a fancy to my good looks?"

Bai Qi swallowed several Qi and Blood Fruits to quickly restore his strength, his voice somewhat muffled: "Is this really necessary?"

Fu Jiu sighed softly: "I'm sorry, but I have reasons that I have to kill the Black Dragon, and I have no other choice."

He planned to take advantage of the war between the Dragon Slayer Pavilion and the Black Dragon Society to kill the Black Dragon. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity again.

More importantly, the system has given him very little time, and he must complete the trial mission as soon as possible.

“Actually, you didn’t need to come. The risk of slaying the Black Dragon is too great. I can’t guarantee that I will survive. To be honest, I don’t want you to get involved. It’s not too late to back out now.” Fu Jiu’s voice was unusually low.

"Tch, what nonsense are you talking about? We agreed that the three of us would make a fortune together, and now you want to abandon us and go it alone? Did you even ask for my opinion?" Li Si's eyes were filled with disdain.

Bai Qi frowned, but said firmly, "Although I don't know the specific reason, I believe in you."

"Those who strive for the summit are never afraid of challenges!"

He was never one to fear death; otherwise, he wouldn't have refused the Li family's offer in his previous life, which led to his being plotted against by them.

He can't abandon his brothers!

"You guys..." Fu Jiu was somewhat moved. Being able to know these two people was truly the greatest honor of his life.

Following the one-eyed mercenary, the group soon arrived at Chishui Street.

This is the territory of the Dragon Slayer Pavilion, so it's understandable that their headquarters are located here.

Looking at the antique-style pavilion in front of him, Fu Jiu's eyes were a little strange. Dragon Treasure Mall? The name sounded so familiar. It seemed to be the five-story shop where he had come to buy demonic beasts a few days ago.

When he saw the person who came to greet him, he became even more certain of his thoughts. Wasn't this the same shopkeeper from before?

So, the headquarters of Zhanlong Pavilion is located in this mall?

The shopkeeper spotted the one-eyed man from afar, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. But then he noticed the three strangers behind him and became somewhat cautious.

He had indeed met Fu Jiu before, but Fu Jiu had come as an ordinary customer then. This time, Fu Jiu was clearly not here to buy anything, was he?

One-Eyed stepped forward to negotiate, and after a moment, the shopkeeper learned the whole story. He turned around and gave Fu Jiu and the other two a grateful look.

"Please wait a moment on the fourth floor. I will go and invite the Pavilion Master over." The shopkeeper bowed slightly, then turned and went up to the fifth floor.

One-Eyed patted Fu Jiu on the shoulder: "Brother Fu Jiu, after we finish discussing the cooperation, I'll take you for a stroll around Chishui Street."

"This Dragon Treasure Mall is also an asset acquired by our Dragon Slaying Pavilion. If you see anything you like, just take it without hesitation."

Fu Jiu smiled and carefully examined the mall. When he came here before, he would only buy the monsters on the first floor and leave to avoid being noticed.

He had considered changing his weapon, but good weapons were expensive, and he couldn't afford to waste spirit stones.

The Longbao Mall was built to retro standards, and many modern facilities are perfectly integrated with the ancient architecture without any sense of incongruity.

Whether it was the double dragons playing with a pearl chandelier on the ceiling or the private elevator in the corner, Fu Jiu found them all very novel and interesting.

Influenced by the tradition, many people do not have much aversion to antiques and ancient buildings. On the contrary, many people are keen to combine the two, adding a lot of fun.

Li Si sat with his legs crossed on the tiger-skin sofa on the fourth floor, looking completely relaxed, making one wonder if he was there for a vacation.

Bai Qi patiently wiped the spear in his hand, while Fu Jiu was quite busy, constantly being pulled into idle chatter by the one-eyed mercenary.

The one-eyed man was quite audacious, acting as if he wanted to drag the three of them into the Dragon Slayer Pavilion.

Fu Jiu simply smiled and remained silent.

The sound of hurried footsteps grew louder as a figure gradually descended from the fifth floor.

He had broad shoulders, a stubble beard, and bright, piercing eyes. On his back was a large cleaver that looked like it was used for chopping grass.

Upon seeing Fu Jiu, the man's eyes lit up: "Haha, it seems that little brother is indeed destined to be with my Dragon Slaying Pavilion."

Fu Jiu's lips twitched. Sure enough, it was this uncle. When he realized that this was the headquarters of Zhanlong Pavilion, he thought of the big boss that the shopkeeper had introduced to him.

In his previous life, he had little contact with Wei Zheng, so he didn't recognize him then. But considering the current situation, it's obvious that this bearded uncle is Wei Zheng of the Dragon Slaying Pavilion.
