Upon hearing this, the woman in red was struck dumb. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Young master, you are truly a refined person. Please come with me to the back, and we will have a talk by candlelight."

The woman in red spoke, swaying her slender waist, and led Shan Tianxie through the noisy hall to an elegant private room.

She gently pushed open the door, gesturing for Shan Tianxie to enter.

Dan Tianxie entered the room, while Xiyu stood guard outside the door.

The room was simply furnished, yet elegant. A middle-aged man was sitting at the table. When he saw Shan Tianxie enter, he put down his teacup, stood up, and said, "Dong Wuqi, one of the Five Wanderers of Bliss, greets the young master."

Dong Wuqi learned three days ago that this young master would be coming to the capital, so he waited here for him. After all, he had been away and had not seen this young master many times.

But he dared not delay in the slightest, for everyone knew that the Valley Master cared most about this second brother.

A year ago, the young master was ambushed by the Tang Clan. The Valley Master, alone with his sword, stormed the Tang Clan and killed the Tang Clan leader in front of the Tang Clan's matriarch. This prompted several of the Tang Clan's old and immortal elders to take action, shaking the entire martial arts world!

He was also secretly observing Shan Tianxie. He hadn't seen the young master for a long time, and he seemed to have become much more cheerful. Although the young master was extremely intelligent before, he was a cold and ruthless person who never showed any mercy in his actions. After hearing the news from Zhou Wuse, he learned that the young master's personality had changed drastically after he woke up.

Upon learning Shan Tianxie's identity, the woman in red was so frightened that she immediately knelt down on one knee, saying, "Ouyang Xiaoyue, the outer sect manager of Bliss Valley, greets the young master!"

"Stand up, stop kneeling. I hate kneeling all the time."

Dan Tianxie said calmly, then found a chair, sat down, picked up the fragrant tea, and took a sip.

Dong Wuqi nodded secretly. The young master had indeed changed; he wouldn't have spoken like this before.

Dan Tianxie continued, "I came to the capital this time for two reasons. First, for Black Stone. This organization has no reason to exist anymore; they actually dared to say they would protect the people that Bliss Valley wanted to kill. Second, I received news that the remains of Rama have appeared in the world. This thing might help the Valley Master break through to the Celestial Realm, so we must get it!"

After a moment's thought, Dong Wuqi said, "Black Stone isn't a big deal; it's just an assassin organization. Destroying it is fine. However, the remains of Rama have recently attracted quite a few experts, led by Lu Xiaofeng, who loves to join in the fun. That might cause a little trouble."

"Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows?" Shan Tianxie raised an eyebrow, then continued, "It's alright, just don't provoke him deliberately."

He didn't seem to care. Lu Xiaofeng was a smart man who loved fine wine and beautiful women most of all. He probably wouldn't be too interested in the remains of Rama.

“Young Master is absolutely right!” Ouyang Xiaoyue readily agreed.

"By the way, help me arrange a meeting with Zhang Renfeng tomorrow. He should also sense the impending storm and be racking his brains about what to do with Luo Mo's remains right now. We're good at this kind of thing."

"I obey my orders."

After explaining everything, Shan Tianxie waved his hand, and Dong Wuqi and the other man tactfully withdrew, leaving Shan Tianxie and Xiyu alone.

......

Meanwhile, Blackstone was holding an internal meeting at its headquarters.

On a round table are a candle and three black stones, which are the symbols of the Black Stone organization.

"Still no word from Drizzle? Is setting up Black Wind Stronghold taking this long?"

An old man wearing a cloak and colorful clothes stroked his sparse beard, his tone revealing dissatisfaction.

This man, named Lian Sheng, nicknamed "The Magician," combines magic tricks with murderous methods, making him extremely bizarre and difficult to deal with, even for top-tier experts.

The other black-clad assassins around them dared not respond, after all, Xi Yu was Black Stone's number one assassin, and only assassins of Cai Xi Shi's caliber would dare to express their dissatisfaction.

"No wonder you're aging so fast with all your worries. Why don't you try my noodles and see if they're salty enough? It'll save you from being so idle all the time. But I don't know why the boss is calling us here so late at night."

The person who spoke was named Lei Bin. He was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. He was skilled at using steel needles and was an expert in sneak attacks. He was also one of the few Black Stone assassins who had married and had children. He liked to cook noodles and became an assassin in order to earn more money. He had even developed a kind of noodle that could not be overcooked.

"Who knows? I performed my magic trick perfectly, and those ignorant young people were terrified. Hehe, the scene was indescribable..." Lian Sheng said, a smile appearing on his face.

Just as I was about to continue speaking...

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door.

At the same time, a strange buzzing sound continued to ring out.

Upon hearing this voice, Lian Sheng immediately fell silent, sat up straight, and became extremely serious, resembling a cold-blooded killer.

The next moment, a figure much taller than an average person appeared at the door.

The newcomer was dressed in a black turban, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of ruthless eyes like a hawk. He held a strangely shaped longsword in his hand, and the wheel inlaid on the golden hilt spun continuously with his steps, emitting a deep hum.

"Greetings, Chief!" Lei Bin and Lian Sheng said in unison, their voices revealing a hint of nervousness.

The newcomer was none other than the leader of the Black Stones—King Wheel!

Known by the title of the Ten Kings of Hell, no one knows his origins. Apart from the dead, no one has ever seen his face. Even the three great assassins of Black Stone, King Yama, have never revealed his true appearance.

He glanced at the two of them and slowly asked, "Still no news from Xiyu?"

"Yes, I don't know if there was a delay on the way."

"Is that so? Then we won't wait any longer." King Chakravartin's tone suddenly became more serious. "I have summoned you all for only one thing: Rama's remains have appeared in the world!"

"What! The remains of Rama!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt. Lian Sheng and Lei Bin instantly lost their composure, standing up and staring intently at King Zhuanlun. The surrounding assassins were also shocked, whispering amongst themselves.

"That's right! I've received word that half of Rama's remains are in the hands of Imperial Censor Zhang Haiduan. I was thinking that since the Six Doors have been pursuing us so closely lately, this is the first time I've tried to buy it with silver, but I didn't expect him to refuse!"

As King Yama spoke, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. For the first time, he had tried to resolve the matter with money, which had even angered the Valley of Bliss. But he was actually rejected, told that it was difficult to handle! Difficult to handle? Then let's not do anything! No one can stop his dream, not even the King of Heaven!

Even Lian Sheng and Lei Bin showed surprise on their faces. The usually domineering Wheel King actually thought of using money to buy something, which was really interesting.

"Three days from now, the entire Blackstone organization will be mobilized. This time, I not only want Rama's remains, but I also want the Zhang family wiped out! Let everyone know the price of refusing me!"

King Yama said in a low voice, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

The Blackrock assassins had never seen King Yama so excited before; his usual unfathomable and seemingly indifferent demeanor had vanished.

At the same time, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes, and he was filled with longing for Rama's remains. After all, who in the martial arts world doesn't want to become a peerless master and live a carefree life? Rama's remains were a shortcut.

However, everyone kept these thoughts to themselves, and no one dared to reveal them, since King Yama was determined to get his hands on this item.

"Go and prepare yourselves!"

King Yama came and went like the wind. After giving his instructions, he waved his cloak and slowly left.

"As ordered!"

Lei Bin, the magician, and the other assassins clasped their hands in a respectful gesture towards the back of the Wheel King.
