25: Chapter 25 The Sixth Brother of the Chaotic Lands!

The North, the Chaotic Lands.

This is a gray zone beyond the jurisdiction of the five great Empires, and a paradise for Loose Cultivators and outlaws.

Inside a dark yet luxurious underground palace, a "friendly" negotiation for a Gang merger was underway.

"Buzz—! Buzz—!"

A pale red [Jade Slip] on the table vibrated frantically, emitting a blinding red light.

A certain Gang leader, tied up and kneeling on the floor with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth, had eyes that looked ready to pop out of their sockets.

A young man in black slowly picked up the Jade Slip and connected it.

"Hello?"

His voice was languid, tinged with a hint of impatience.

From the other end of the Jade Slip, a woman's hysterical roar instantly erupted:

"You dead man!! You finally decided to answer the transmission?!"

"You better honestly confess, where were you fooling around last night? Is there some other vixen out there?! Why didn't you come home all night!!"

The young man holding the Jade Slip scratched his ear, held the slip further away, sighed with an exhausted expression, and spoke in an extremely perfunctory tone:

"No, you're overthinking it. I was discussing with my brothers which territory to take next; that's serious business."

"Serious business?!"

The woman on the other end clearly didn't believe him, her voice rising an octave:

"I sent you eighteen transmissions yesterday! Why didn't you reply to me?!"

The young man looked speechless at the leader at his feet who was already rolling his eyes, and said indifferently:

"It wasn't very convenient at the time."

"Not convenient? You can't reply to a transmission when you're with the brothers? I don't believe it! Do you even have me in your heart? Unless you let me hear their voices, I'm sure you're with another woman!"

"Sigh..."

Su Yuan shook his head. Why couldn't this woman understand human language?

He was really too lazy to bicker, so he shoved the Jade Slip right to the mouth of the leader at his feet and pulled out the sock.

"Come on, say hello to your Dao Companion."

As soon as the leader heard it was his Dao Companion, he immediately wailed with a sobbing tone:

"Xiaofang, run away!!! This guy is a pervert!!!"

Su Yuan was quick-handed; he shoved the sock back in and then spoke to the Jade Slip in a leisurely manner:

"Heard that? We're really talking about serious business."

"Was that not Su Yuan?! Why did you kidnap my husband?"

"For you, of course. Look, your Dao Companion likes you, and I like you too, but your Dao Companion won't let me like you. Tell me, what should I do?"

The other end of the Jade Slip: "..."

"From now on, we're all one big Family. Your Dao Companion has already agreed to merge into my Gang, so from now on, your Dao Companion is my brother, and you are his big sister-in-law!"

"Beep."

Hung up.

The entire underground palace fell into deathly silence.

The surrounding lackeys looked at their newly appointed young boss, their eyes filled with awe and reverence.

Too despicable!

Kidnapped the Gang leader, and even flirted with his Dao Companion beforehand?

This is the true style of their Shadow Pavilion leader!

"What are you looking at? Learn from this!"

Su Yuan put away the rope and lectured them with an expression of exasperation:

"This is the importance of intelligence! Utilize every condition you can use, you bunch of good-for-nothing trash! You don't even know how to sell your own asses; the only reason you're still alive is because your deceased parents are kowtowing before the King of Hell for you."

"Where is this? This is the fucking Northern Southern Region! Do you think you're still some delicate little princess from the outside world?!"

In just three short months.

Relying on the bonus from the Su Family's Golden Dragon of Fortune, and the continuous support of Medicinal Pills from Su Yan, Su Yuan's cultivation level soared like a rocket, forcibly elevating to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!

He even established an intelligence and assassination organization called the Shadow Pavilion in this man-eating Chaotic Lands, specializing in... ahem, high-technical work.

Although Su Yan's Medicinal Pills were not of High Grade, their quality was top-tier. They didn't sell for high prices in the Medicine Capital, but here in the Northern Chaotic Lands, they were in short supply.

"Pavilion Master! A big job has come in!"

Just then, a lackey ran in excitedly, holding a golden bounty notice just torn down from the black market.

"It's issued by the Lingxiao Sect! A special-grade bounty!"

"As long as you provide clues, the reward is ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones! If you can find the person, you'll be rewarded with a High Grade Spiritual Artifact!"

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow and took the bounty notice.

He saw that a portrait was prominently drawn on it.

Dressed in white as snow, cold and ethereal.

Although the artistry was average, Su Yuan recognized her at a glance.

"Isn't this... that Lin Qingxue who broke off the engagement?"

Su Yuan rubbed his chin, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Searching for a missing Saintess? And the one issuing the task is the Lingxiao Sect?"

Since the Lingxiao Sect is searching for someone with such fanfare, it would be a disservice to them not to help!

Is this a bounty notice?

This is clearly travel expenses delivered right to our doorstep!

"Accept it!"

Su Yuan slapped the table, his eyes flashing with a cunning light known as "playing both sides":

"Our Shadow Pavilion will take this mission!"

A moment later, through the Family's special secret communication method, Su Yuan contacted Su Feng, who was worrying about money at home.

"Brother Feng, the Lingxiao Sect has issued a bounty."

Su Yuan vividly reported the situation and then chuckled:

"They even sent quite a few Inner Sect Disciples into the Chaotic Lands to search, just like headless flies."

"Uh... Brother Feng, do you think we should... help them out?"

On the other end of the communication, Su Feng's voice was calm, carrying a hint of appreciation:

"Well done."

"Since they are so sincere, let's accept it."

Su Yuan understood in a second, smiling like a fox that had stolen a chicken:

"Understood! Don't worry, Brother Feng!"

"I remember there seems to be an exotic treasure appearing in the Poison Mist Swamp over there recently? You can take them there to look, and by the way... help them cool off."

"I guarantee their legs will run off, and they'll still be willing to count money for us!"

Su Feng said, "I trust you to handle it," then hung up the communication.

Su Yuan turned to look at the lackeys who were rubbing their hands in anticipation, waved his hand, and said with great heroic spirit:

"Brothers! Let's get to work!"

"This time we are working for a prestigious sect! Everyone, stay sharp!"

"Target: Lead that bunch of fat sheep from the Lingxiao Sect into the deepest ditch!"
