A good while later,
San Liu finally came to his senses.
He looked at Mu Jinyu, who was regarding him with an odd look, glanced at him with a complex expression, and said, "I can help you get rid of Nameless's pursuit and even make the entire Slaughter Redemption refuse to take any more contracts to kill you."
Mu Jinyu was surprised by San Liu's change of attitude and then replied with a light smile, "I don't care whether you assassins take the contract or not, after all, you can't do anything to me."
San Liu said, "You might not care, but what about the other subordinates of Dragon King Hall? Are they not afraid at all? And if the entire Slaughter Redemption stops taking contracts related to you from now on, it would be as if Dragon King Hall is on the white list, becoming our allies. Don't you care about that?"
"This..."
Mu Jinyu, upon hearing San Liu's words, was somewhat tempted.
If he were a loner, he could really afford to ignore the so-called white list of Slaughter Redemption, but now he was no longer alone. He stood with a Dragon King Hall behind him, bearing the responsibility of fending off external enemies, so he could no longer afford to not care.
Although becoming allies with Slaughter Redemption might not sound too good internationally, but to hell with it, black cat or white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!
"What do you want?" Mu Jinyu suppressed his impulses and looked at San Liu with an indifferent gaze.
San Liu noticed the wariness in Mu Jinyu's eyes, aware that he might think he was up to more tricks, but this time he really had no such intention.
With a wry smile, San Liu slowly began, "Kill the Master of Slaughter, and you become the new King of Slaughter!"
"Hmm?!"
Mu Jinyu, after hearing San Liu's words, was slightly taken aback, then looked at San Liu with a less friendly gaze, saying, "You still want me to help you eliminate your rival? So you can benefit from the fisherman's profit, do you think I'm a fool?"
"No, I don't want you to kill the Lord of the Killing Realm and then I become the new King of Slaughter. I don't care so much about that empty title," San Liu hurriedly explained.
"What I mean is, if you become the Master of Slaughter Redemption, Nameless, who must always complete his missions, will therefore abandon this one, and you won't have to worry about being pursued by Nameless anymore. Plus, you can command him and me. Why wouldn't you want that?"
Upon hearing San Liu's words, Mu Jinyu asked in surprise, "Why would Nameless give up pursuing me and even obey my commands if I became the Master of Slaughter?"
It didn't make sense to him. If he killed the Master of Slaughter, shouldn't they be competing for that position? How could it suddenly mean they would follow his orders? That's not right!
San Liu sighed, "Actually, both Nameless and I were raised by the Realm Master since we were kids, and our parents... were killed by his hands..."
"What?!" Mu Jinyu couldn't help but interrupt, "Patricide is an unforgivable betrayal, and you still recognize him as your father after knowing the truth?!"
San Liu's eyes gleamed with endless resentment and intent to kill as he replied, "We didn't want to either. I dream of killing the Lord of the Killing Realm, but we're under restrictions that don't allow us to defy his commands, and we haven't found anyone capable of killing the Realm Master. Therefore, both he and I made a vow years ago that whoever kills the Realm Master, we would become his subordinates!"
As he spoke, San Liu looked up at Mu Jinyu and said, "Since you've managed to defeat both me and Nameless, it means you have the power to kill the Lord of the Killing Realm. That's why I hope you'll give up on the idea of eliminating Nameless and instead set your sights on killing the Lord of the Killing Realm to become the new Master of Slaughter. Isn't that a better outcome?"
Mu Jinyu was taken aback and, with a skeptical look, stared at San Liu, saying, "How do I have the feeling that you're trying to bamboozle me into going solo against the entire Slaughter Redemption instance, only to get killed by that Realm Master or whatever?"
"I really didn't think of doing that," San Liu earnestly assured.
But Mu Jinyu's expression still showed that she didn't quite believe him, and he knew that a few words from him wouldn't be enough to make Mu Jinyu let go of her prejudices, given their history of life-and-death enmity.
Clenching his teeth suddenly, San Liu looked up, his gaze filled with endless resentment as he earnestly said to Mu Jinyu, "Or you could kill me, let my death prove my intention; I truly did not mean to trap you. I really hope you can help me take revenge against Nameless!"
Mu Jinyu felt somewhat intimidated by San Liu's gaze, but of course, she knew that look wasn't meant for her.
It was directed at the Master of Slaughter far away.
From that look, it was clear that his heart harbored a hatred for the Lord of the Killing Realm that not even the vast oceans could wash away.
With this in mind, Mu Jinyu hesitated, then looked back at Xiang Mantang, asking if they should take a gamble?
If they won the bet, the rewards would indeed be substantial.
Although San Liu had been defeated by her hand, his strength was absolutely not to be underestimated, unquestionably much stronger than Shen Cangsheng.
And Nameless was an even more challenging adversary. If they could work for the Dragon King Hall, the benefits would be plentiful.
Moreover, within the Slaughter Redemption, there were an unknown number of assassins, among which many first-class assassins were only slightly inferior to the two of them. If she could put the entire Slaughter Redemption at their service, it would be truly excellent.
Xiang Mantang thought for a moment and said, "Let me go with the other Longweis."
"No," Mu Jinyu shook her head. "At the very least, Jian Ruyan and Mu Hongchen must stay to protect my family, to prevent Nameless from succeeding, they can't be spared. And the remaining Wu Shisan, Di Yin, and Qin Qiaochu, even with them by your side, are not necessarily capable of taking down the Lord of the Killing Realm."
After some thought, Mu Jinyu took a deep breath, showed his teeth in a smile to Xiang Mantang, and said, "Forget it, I'll take the gamble, and let us from Jinyu Mantang go meet this so-called Lord of the Killing Realm!"
Xiang Mantang was somewhat worried. After all, Mu Jinyu was now the esteemed Tiance True Dragon. If anything went wrong on this trip, the impact would be significant. But if it were just him, Wu Shisan, and the others, to be honest, taking down the Lord of the Killing Realm would indeed be difficult.
Mu Jinyu said, "Alright, then it's decided."
Having said that, he turned to look at San Liu, who was beside himself with excitement, and said, "You tell me, how do we head to the Slaughter Redemption base and eliminate the Lord of the Killing Realm?"
San Liu didn't answer immediately but kneeled before Mu Jinyu, knocking his head on the ground several times, looking up at Mu Jinyu with endless gratitude and said solemnly, "Thank you."
Seeing San Liu act so earnestly, the last trace of doubt in Mu Jinyu's heart about San Liu completely disappeared.
As for the other assassins, he couldn't be sure, but with San Liu's personality, it was apparent that he wouldn't bow and kowtow to someone else to have himself eliminated through someone else's hands
