At the same time, far away in the underground secret base of an ancient castle in a chaotic area of the world, a figure more than two meters high, exuding a metallic luster, like a robot, walked on the eerie and evil underground corridor.

After a while, a quaint and huge stone gate appeared in front of me.

At first glance, the stone gate is a very old antiquity, giving people a feeling of being dusty for a long time, and there are huge bats carved on it.

These huge bat patterns show a pyramid-like arrangement from bottom to top, with the lowest layer having the largest number of bats, and the higher up they go, the fewer and fewer of them, and the color also changes significantly, until the top layer is left, and only one golden bat is left with wings spreading, exuding a sense of unruliness and lawlessness.

The robot that exuded a metallic luster looked up at the golden bat, and when it looked at the eyes of the golden bat, the bat seemed to be alive, and the staring and domineering eyes instantly made the metallic robot body tremble, and staggered back a step, his eyes were full of heat and awe.

"Tell me, find me something." Before the robot-like man could speak, an old voice came from behind the huge stone door.

Hearing this, the robot-like man's expression immediately became respectful, and he knelt on one knee with the etiquette peculiar to medieval Europe.

"Tell your lord, there is a little problem on the purgatory side, the target is much more troublesome than imagined, even purgatory is seriously injured, the other party is very likely to invite a grandmaster-level, or a half-step grandmaster-level powerhouse to sit in charge, and the subordinates dare not decide on their own, come to follow the orders of the adults." The robotic man said hoarsely, with a metallic grinding sound.

"Let Purgatory come back, since the other party is suspected of having a strong person at the grandmaster level, then this mission will be canceled."

"But my lord, we have accepted the commission of the Takeno clan, and if we cancel the mission now, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of our Dark Dynasty." The robotic man hesitated.

"Humph!" As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening cold snort sounded, and the penetrating voice shook the robot-like man's blood for a while, and his face with a hint of metallic luster couldn't help but flush.

"Why, do you have any problem with my decision?" The old voice, which was so cold that it seemed to have no emotion, drank softly with a threatening force.

The robot-like man trembled in fright, and hurriedly lowered his head: "No, my subordinates don't dare!" ”

"I might as well tell you one thing, the time for the Holy Ancestors to wake up is coming soon, Purgatory is the key to opening the seal of the Holy Ancestors, and at this critical moment, it must not attract the attention of the Grandmaster-level powerhouses, otherwise, if it affects the awakening of the Holy Ancestors, can you afford this responsibility, now you should understand the importance of Purgatory to us."

"What, the Holy Ancestors are about to wake up." The robot-like man exclaimed excitedly, his eyes bursting with scorching excitement and excitement like flames, like a fanatic.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and the robot-like man hesitated and wondered: "My lord, since purgatory is related to the key to the sealing of the Holy Ancestors, then why didn't you tell me before, if there is an accident, what can I do?" ”

"Only under the tempering of life and death can people burst out to their maximum potential, otherwise do you think Purgatory can have the current strength, if there is not enough strength, how to unlock the seal of the Holy Ancestors, and with me, she will not die." Speaking of this, the old and ruthless voice inside the stone gate muttered to himself with some excitement: "However, it should be almost time now, it's time to start planning." ”

"Let people send purgatory back safely as soon as possible, and no mistakes will be allowed, otherwise I will ask you."

"Yes, sir!" The robotic man nodded in agreement, turned and walked out with heavy footsteps, the bat pattern on the huge stone door twisting slightly, as if trying to break free from it.

In the ancestral house of the Takeno clan of the Wa Kingdom, the great elder Takeno Tiankui looked at the video call in front of him, his face was ugly, and what was revealed in the video call was a man like a robot.

"Dark Gold, what do you mean, in order to hire the king-level killer of your Dark Dynasty, our Takeno clan has paid a big price, how can you regret it now, don't you care about the reputation of your Dark Dynasty." Taking a deep breath, Great Elder Takeno Tiankui said angrily.

Compared with the angry Great Elder Takeno Tiankui, the robot-like man Dark Jin in the video call is much calmer: "When you signed the killer employment contract, you said that the other party was just an ordinary businessman in Huaxia, and just hired some stronger bodyguards, and concealed that among the people hired by the other party, there were suspected grandmaster-level powerhouses, which caused the king-level killers of my Dark Dynasty to almost die, so the contract is invalid, and we have the right to terminate this contract." ”

After the words were spoken, the video call was interrupted instantly, and the Great Elder Takeno Tiankui was not given a chance to continue questioning at all.

"Yaga, Yaga!" Takeno Tiankui roared angrily, his face turned pale, he never thought that even the king-level killer of the Dark Dynasty would not be able to complete the task, and if it was really as Dark Jin said, there was a suspected grandmaster-level powerhouse among the other party, then it would be more difficult for them to succeed in assassinating than ascending to the sky.

"Baga, the Qi family is just an ordinary merchant family in Huaxia, why can you invite a strong man who is helpless even a king-level killer, Bagayalu." Takeno Tiankui vented angrily, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations, so that their Takeno clan not only spent a lot of money and treasures, but in the end they still didn't get anything, it was simply a loss to the lady and a soldier.

After a long while, Takeno Tiankui suppressed his anger and ordered a family meeting to be held.

Soon, a group of high-ranking members of the Takeno clan gathered, and after hearing the news of Takeno Tiankui's announcement, everyone was speechless.

Last time, their Takeno clan's plan failed, resulting in the status of the organization being affected, so they chose to transfer all their grievances to the Qi family, wanting to vent their anger by assassinating Qi Duxue and prove themselves, but the result was repeated failures, and finally spent a huge price to hire a king-level killer of the Dark Dynasty to take action, but it still failed to succeed.

The successive blows have made the Takeno clan almost affected by the bones, and even the conservatives led by Takeno Apocalypse have no idea of using this matter to fight the radicals at this moment.

The meeting was silent, everyone's faces were gloomy and ugly, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air, and no one knew how to speak.

"Great Elder, what are we going to do now, the Dark Dynasty doesn't take our Takeye clan too seriously, if you don't do it, you won't do it, are we just going to suffer this dumb loss." As a radical, Takeno Hengichi couldn't swallow this breath and complained.

Glancing at Takeno Hengichi, Takeno Tiankui took a deep breath, and said with a cold gaze: "My Takeno clan is not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch, since their Dark Dynasty disregards morality, then we don't need to give them face, and immediately spread the news that the assassination of the Dark Dynasty king-level killer failed and the contract was terminated." ”

Fame is very important to the killer organization, and Takeno Tiankui's hand is undoubtedly a revenge on the Dark Dynasty.

The conservative Takeno Apocalypse hesitated for a moment and said, "Great Elder, isn't it a bit too risky for us to do this, if we offend the Dark Dynasty because of this, it will be very troublesome for our Takeno clan." ”

"Idiot, who asked you to spread the news in the name of our Takeno clan, you can use other people to spread the news."

Takeno Tiankui said with a gloomy face: "As long as the news spreads, not only can the reputation of the Dark Dynasty be damaged, but it can also be proved through this incident that it is not that my Takeno clan is not strong enough, but the enemy is too strong, and even the king-level killers of the Dark Dynasty have returned with a feather and almost died there, so our Takeno clan will not be so ashamed." ”

Originally, Takeno Tianqi and others, who still had some opinions on spreading the news, heard that their eyes lit up, and Takeno Tiankui's strategy of killing two birds with one stone was indeed very powerful.

"Great Elder, what about the Qi family's affairs, can we just leave it like this?" Takeno Hengichi still asked a little unwillingly, it was he who suggested that the Qi family do it, but now it is like this, which makes him a little embarrassed.

Takeno Tiankui, who was already in a bad mood, had just softened his face, and was gloomy like water again, his eyes stared coldly at Takeno Hengichi, and his body exuded an invisible momentum: "Things have developed so far, do we have any other way, but there is a suspected grandmaster-level powerhouse by the other party's side, even the Dark Dynasty is unwilling to offend the other party, and continuing to send people is just sending people to death, if you offend that grandmaster-level powerhouse because of this, it will bring disaster to our Takeno clan at that time, Yaga, Yours don't understand. ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Takeno Hengichi nodded in fright, facing the angry Great Elder Takeno Tiankui, making him feel like he was about to be killed at any time, and the frightened chill in his heart gushed out like a spring.

"Okay, let's do it immediately, as for the Qi family's affairs, don't mention it for the time being." Takeno Tiankui took a deep breath and waved his hand at the high-ranking members of the Takeno clan, and deep down in his heart, he was also like Takeno Heng, very unwilling.

Returning to his own study, Takeno Tiankui glanced at the corner next to him: "Send someone to me to secretly monitor the Qi family, remember not to be discovered by the suspected grandmaster-level powerhouse around the other party, and in addition, lock the identity of the grandmaster-level powerhouse." ”

"Hey!" There was a twist in the corner of the wall, and a figure gradually appeared in the corner, nodding and turning away.

"Hmph, a grandmaster-level powerhouse is not an ordinary bodyguard, I want to see how long he can protect the Qi family, and there is a martial arts prohibition treaty, I believe that grandmaster-level powerhouse will not dare to do anything to my Takeno clan easily, and when the grandmaster-level powerhouse leaves, it will be the time for the Qi family to be wiped out." Takeno Tiankui muttered to himself with a murderous face, his eyes cold and cruel.

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Takeno clan, the news of the Dark Dynasty's weakness and incompetence, and ignoring the reputation of the killer and terminating the contract spread among the black forces, and through the indifferent male bloody hands, Yang Hong also got the news in the first place.

"Is this news accurate?" After listening to the words of the indifferent male bloody hand, Yang Hong asked in some surprise.

"The accuracy of the news still needs to be confirmed, but now that the news has spread all over the world, the Dark Dynasty has not denied it, it seems that it should be true."

"Okay, I know, by the way, you find someone to help me monitor the Takeno clan, and if there is any action, notify me immediately." Hanging up the phone, Yang Hong was puzzled and relieved at the same time.

According to his understanding of the Dark Dynasty, even if he severely injured the king-level killer, he should not give up so easily, and at least he should try a few more times.

Of course, he only had some doubts about this, but he didn't care too much, no matter what the reason was, it was also a good thing for him that the Dark Dynasty could not accept this deal, so that some things could be closed by taking the opportunity.
