"How do I issue a bounty mission?"
As Han Feng spoke, a hint of regret appeared in the woman's eyes.
So he was a guest here for serious business.
"Please follow me, sir."
The woman led Han Feng to another private room, then turned a mechanism, entering the real trading place of the Music Pavilion.
The romantic business outside was just a cover.
The wall slowly opened, and a dim passage appeared before Han Feng's eyes. The woman walked in front, introducing the rules of the pavilion to Han Feng.
"If you are here to buy intelligence, you can go to the Heaven Pavilion. If you want someone to bleed, you can go to the Kill Pavilion. One is on the left, one on the right. Which way would you like to go, sir?"
"Left, Heaven Pavilion."
The woman nodded, took out a token, and opened the passage on the left.
Lin Xian'er watched all this curiously.
Qing Lin's eyes flickered slightly, looking around as if alert to something.
The two girls followed closely behind Han Feng, walking all the way to a spacious and bright hall.
After bringing Han Feng there, the woman pointed to the black column in the center of the hall. Some sparkling luster flickered on it. A gray-robed man sat in front of the column, looking through something.
"That is the place to buy intelligence. You can go there and ask, sir."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Han Feng nodded slightly and walked towards the gray-robed man.
Without looking up, the gray-robed man took out a scroll and placed it in front of Han Feng.
"Write down your questions and requirements on it."
Han Feng unfolded the scroll, picked up the brush on the side, and began to write.
[Searching for the soul body of Venerate Yao. Need a large number of personnel proficient in searching.]
The gray-robed man picked up the scroll and glanced at it, his expression somewhat silent.
After thinking for a full half-minute, the gray-robed man took out a token from the black column behind him.
"Heaven-level mission. Deposit is one hundred million gold coins. The total price depends on the process. The deposit is non-refundable if failed."
Han Feng swiped one hundred million cleanly and neatly.
Gold coins were the most useless resource for him.
However, the other party's asking price was still a bit steep.
Han Feng took the token and heard the gray-robed man say, "We will notify you when there is news. The mission lasts for one year. If the time is exceeded, the mission fails."
"You can start from the eastern range of the Northern Region."
Han Feng suggested.
The gray-robed man nodded.
"Okay. If you have any needs later, sir, you can also modify them on the token."
The black token in Han Feng's hand was made of special material and could connect to the black column at the Music Pavilion headquarters at any time, so messages could be transmitted quickly.
After issuing the mission, Han Feng left the Music Pavilion.
To be honest, he didn't know the standard of the Music Pavilion's search.
But one more preparation was one more hope.
Even knowing that he might be doing useless work, Han Feng would still choose to do it.
"One hundred million gold coins."
Lin Xian'er was immersed in Han Feng's lavish act of throwing away a hundred million gold coins.
She vaguely remembered that when she went shopping in Qing Shan Town as a child, spending a silver coin was already a luxurious expense.
I didn't expect Master to be so rich...
Lin Xian'er sighed with emotion.
"Sister, there are many mechanisms and weapons hidden in there."
Qing Lin said to Lin Xian'er.
"Is it in the passage?"
"Mm."
"I felt it too. There was even residual poison gas on the walls."
The strict defense of the Music Pavilion also indirectly showed that the other party was indeed a capable organization, at least better than other incompetent intelligence forces.
"Next is to go north."
The route Han Feng designed was all the way north.
After the matters in the north were arranged, he would return directly to the Northwest Continent.
That afternoon, Han Feng and the others took a space boat from the spatial wormhole in Wind Lightning City and headed for the northern part of the Northern Region.
North Mang City.
A large hub city with a super-large spatial wormhole that could lead directly to the Central Region.
Even though it was not near the North Pavilion of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, North Mang City still had a huge resident population and traffic volume.
Han Feng and the others flew out of the spatial wormhole. Before they landed, they found a dense crowd of people squeezed together in the square ahead.
Such a lively scene was rare.
Han Feng hovered in mid-air with the two girls, looking at the crowded crowd below.
Something must have happened.
However, Han Feng didn't intend to join in the fun and flew straight out.
Arriving at the streets in the city, the atmosphere was still a bit wrong.
Han Feng heard many people talking.
"The Chen family is finished this time. The main force of the family has been wiped out. Although the Eldest Miss Chen is capable, how can she hold up such a scene?"
"Exactly. The Yu family is not a simple force either. Old Madam Yu has always wanted the Chen sisters to be her grandson's wives."
"Hehe, back then, the Chen family head rejected the Yu family's marriage proposal in public, which made Old Madam Yu lose a lot of face. Now that the Chen family is in trouble, she naturally wants to step on them."
Everyone's conversation seemed to involve the Chen family.
Han Feng frowned slightly.
The Chen family...
Is this Chen Xiaoyu's family?
He still had some impression of that little girl, the champion of the Black-Corner Region Alchemy Competition.
When she was at Jia Nan Academy, she wanted to become his disciple but was rejected by him.
At that time, the consideration was not to involve her in future events.
After all, Han Feng was going to be enemies with the Hun Clan in the future.
And Chen Xiaoyu was the second young miss of a major family force in the Central Plains, with a bright future, so there was no need for her to wade into his muddy water.
He just didn't expect that the Chen family, as the overlord of North Mang City, would face a crisis of destruction so soon.
Han Feng paused and led the two girls towards the Chen family.
Since he had encountered this matter, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.
After so many years, Chen Xiaoyu should have graduated from Jia Nan Academy, and maybe she was in the Chen family now.
He hadn't accepted her back then, so this time he would help her solve a problem.
Fate is just that ingenious. If Chen Xiaoyu hadn't come to ask for apprenticeship back then, Han Feng probably wouldn't have remembered the relationship between the Chen family and Chen Xiaoyu.
Naturally, there wouldn't be today's action.
Han Feng quickly arrived at the Chen family's station. At this time, many people with unkind faces were standing outside the Chen family.
They wore similar robes and seemed to be from the same family.
Thinking of what people were discussing just now, it should be the Yu family.
Han Feng released his soul power to observe the situation inside the Chen family.
At this time, the Eldest Miss of the Chen family, Chen Yunshu, was sitting in the main hall, looking at the young man eyeing her covetously.
Old Madam Yu leaned on her cane, silently watching her grandson talking to his childhood crush.
Thinking back to that year, Chen Yuanjiang rejected her marriage proposal to her face, making the Yu family a laughingstock.
She thought she would never be able to take revenge in her lifetime.
She hadn't expected the opportunity to come so quickly. Less than ten years later, the tables had turned.
"Yu Tianming, use whatever moves you have. I, Chen Yunshu, will take them all alone."
Chen Yunshu looked directly at the people in the hall.
The disciples of the Yu family were all arrogant.
While the Chen family members were half angry and half afraid.
The corners of Yu Tianming's mouth curled up, and his smile was a bit arrogant.
Even though he knew he should restrain himself a little and maintain the demeanor of a gentleman, the situation at this moment was just too exciting for him.
He had never dreamed that there would be a day when he could counterattack Chen Yunshu with such a posture.
"Chen Yunshu, I guess you never thought that there would be a day when you would bow your head in front of me."
Chen Yunshu's body trembled slightly. She indeed hadn't imagined that in just half a month, the Chen family would fall to such a life-and-death situation.
Half a month ago, the family ancestor was critically ill. Her second uncle encountered danger while looking for medicine, and her father took people to rescue him, but both perished.
The two pillars of the family were gone in the blink of an eye.
After learning the news, the ancestor couldn't bear the blow and also passed away.
The Yu family took the opportunity to kick them while they were down. The various clans in the city that originally had good relations with the Chen family changed their attitudes overnight.
Even some elders in the family began to consider splitting up the family and running away.
"If you want to humiliate me to redeem the face you lost back then, then go ahead. See if I resist."
A cold light flashed in Chen Yunshu's eyes. Her beautiful face no longer had the gentleness of a young girl, but was full of icy killing intent.
The bone-chilling cold made Yu Tianming stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
Chen Yunshu was extremely talented. Now twenty-six years old, she was a five-star Dou Emperor.
And he, over thirty years old, had just barely broken through to become a Dou King.
A Dou Emperor's killing intent would naturally make a Dou King like him feel fear.
Old Madam Yu snorted coldly and tapped her cane lightly.
The aura emitted by a Dou Ancestor expert instantly suppressed Chen Yunshu.
Invisible spatial power oscillated. Chen Yunshu's blood surged, and her face turned pale instantly.
However, she still didn't show any cowardice. She did her best to stabilize her body, staring fixedly at the Yu family members.
"Heh, Eldest Miss Chen indeed has great spirit. She is just right to be my grandson's wife."
Seeing that her grandson couldn't handle it, Old Madam Yu had to step in herself.
She slowly straightened her hunched body, her gaze sweeping over the Chen family members.
Yu Tianming recovered at this time, took a step forward, and forced, "Chen Yunshu, you don't want the Chen family members to be massacred, do you?"
Old Madam Yu glanced at her grandson's impatient look, speechless in her heart.
Sigh, raising a grandson for the first time, she still raised him wrong.
But it's okay.
With the experience of raising a grandson for the first time, the second time should be much better.
Next, she could think carefully about how to cultivate her great-grandson.
Old Madam Yu looked at Chen Yunshu.
"I don't ask for too much. As long as you agree to marry into my Yu family and bear offspring for my grandson, I won't touch a hair on the heads of the Chen family members."
Yu Tianming was dissatisfied with his grandmother interrupting his exquisite rhetoric and quickly spoke up.
"Grandma, there's another person. I want Chen Xiaoyu too!"
"Shut up!"
Old Madam Yu couldn't bear it anymore and scolded him.
The look she gave her grandson was one of disappointment.
It's one thing to be incompetent, but he didn't even have a brain.
Didn't he see that Chen Yunshu was already unwilling to compromise, and he was still threatening her with her sister?
Wouldn't it be better to discuss this matter after the deed is done?
Sure enough, when Chen Yunshu heard Yu Tianming's words, her face instantly became even colder.
"Phew!"
Chen Yunshu slowly stood up.
"Old Madam Yu, I will not agree to your request. If you want to fight, then fight. I, Chen Yunshu, can die in battle, but I cannot kneel cowardly!"
Old Madam Yu narrowed her eyes.
"Don't you think about the many members of the Chen family?"
"The Chen family gave birth to me and raised me. I should repay the family, but I will do it in my own way."
A long sword emitting a sharp cold air appeared in Chen Yunshu's hand, pointing at the Yu family members.
"What a pity..."
Old Madam Yu sighed softly.
This girl had a firm will and would not be swayed by others. If she was allowed to grow up, she would become a major threat.
Only by crippling her could she be at ease.
A sharp light shot out from Old Madam Yu's half-closed eyes, and the cane in her hand struck straight at Chen Yunshu.
"Frost Condensation!"
Chen Yunshu slashed out with her sword. Ice crystals quickly formed Dou Qi wings on her back, and she took advantage of the situation to fly upwards.
The huge force instantly cut a big hole in the roof.
Old Madam Yu looked up unhurriedly. The next second, her figure flickered and appeared behind Chen Yunshu.
"Too slow."
Boom!
With just one blow, Chen Yunshu flew back into the hall at a faster speed, smashing a deep pit in the ground.
A Dou Ancestor expert, no matter from which aspect, was an existence that crushed the Dou Emperor level.
At this time, the people surrounding outside also discovered the commotion inside. Had a fight started?
"Everyone, please make way."
Han Feng walked over step by step. The invisible aura spreading around him made the onlookers make way one after another.
"Who is this? He looks extraordinary."
Seeing Han Feng, some people started a heated discussion.
Could it be that the Chen family's helper had arrived?
The Yu family members stepped forward to block him.
"Friend, don't go in. This is the Yu family's business."
However, Han Feng ignored him and pushed the door open directly.
The Yu family members stood frozen in place, but no one stepped forward to stop him.
"What's going on?"
"Why can't I move!"
It wasn't until Han Feng's figure disappeared from everyone's sight that the feeling of being unable to move slowly dissipated.
"Saw a ghost..."
"Forget it. Let the ancestor deal with such an expert."
Someone spoke rationally.
In the hall, Chen Yunshu was knocked down by the Dou Ancestor expert with one blow, but she did not completely lose her combat power.
"Eldest Miss, why don't you just accept it!"
Someone from the Chen family advised.
They wanted to live!
Chen Yunshu glanced at the person who spoke just now and said nothing.
Everyone has the right to live.
But this right must be won by oneself.
Others can't give it.
"Still struggling."
Old Madam Yu stepped on the void and descended step by step.
The speed looked very slow, but there was a feeling of inevitability.
Chen Yunshu knew that she was probably going to die here.
Fortunately, her sister went to the Pill Tower to study and was not in the family.
With the Pill Tower's protection, she should be safe.
Just as Old Madam Yu was about to make her move to completely cripple Chen Yunshu, she suddenly frowned and looked outside the hall.
She saw Han Feng strolling in, his gaze locking onto her, an old woman.
Although she didn't see Han Feng make a move, this feeling of being locked onto made Old Madam Yu extremely uncomfortable, as if her life was held in someone else's hands.
At this moment, she also experienced the helplessness of Chen Yunshu waiting for judgment.
Han Feng strode into the hall. Behind him, two girls with outstanding appearances also walked in, looking curiously at the people in the hall.
When Yu Tianming saw Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin, his eyes lit up instantly.
Two more?
The Chen family really produces beauties!
"Grandma, I want these two too..."
Slap!
Old Madam Yu slapped Yu Tianming directly across the face, knocking him to the ground fiercely.
"Senior, my grandson spoke wildly. Please don't take it to heart."
Han Feng glanced at Yu Tianming, who had fainted on the ground, and ignored him.
On the other hand, Lin Xian'er secretly sprinkled some poison powder.
The corner of Han Feng's mouth twitched. His disciple was a bit ruthless.
"Let this matter end here."
"Yes."
Old Madam Yu didn't dare to refute at all. After agreeing, she quickly retreated with the Yu family members, not forgetting to carry away her fainting grandson.
In front of Han Feng, she didn't even have the courage to make a move.
As the saying goes, the older the wiser. She cherished her life very much.
Han Feng looked at the bewildered Chen Yunshu and asked, "Is Chen Xiaoyu here?"
