"What do you mean by that?! Have you no shame?!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Xiang Mantang immediately became irate and said, "What do you mean you have the responsibilities of the Tiance True Dragon and being the Master of Slaughter makes you too busy? Haven't I always been managing Dragon King Hall on your behalf? What have you been so busy with?"
"This is me giving you a status equal to mine, why are you getting so angry?"
Mu Jinyu muttered under his breath, "There are others who'd want to manage these two huge organizations but don't have the chance. Don't act all high and mighty after getting a good deal..."
Xiang Mantang sneered, "Who exactly is the one getting the good deal and then playing innocent?"
With that, he took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone, "If you want me to take over Slaughter Redemption, you must manage Dragon King Hall yourself."
Mu Jinyu thought for a moment and replied, "Fine."
He was thinking that if he could just cajole Xiang Mantang now, could Xiang really force him to manage everything when he decided to be a hands-off manager?!
After all, Xiang would end up taking care of everything himself.
Xiang Mantang scoffed, "Don't think I can't see through your plan. Dragon King Hall was passed down to you by your grandfather. If you ruin it, whether you feel you can face the Old Dragon King is your problem, I couldn't care less if it falls or not!"
"Okay, okay, enough nagging!"
Mu Jinyu saw that Xiang Mantang was serious and had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
After all, Dragon King Hall was given to him by the Old Dragon King, and if he were to run it into the ground, how could he face the Old Dragon King's spirit in heaven?!
'Looks like I need to start taking things seriously, can't keep messing around anymore.'
Mu Jinyu sighed regretfully in his heart.
Meanwhile, San Liu and Nameless, who were meditating on the side and regulating their Qi, looked at the back-and-forth pushing and the fierce argument with a bit of confusion!
What was going on?
They were being asked to take over Slaughter Redemption, and they weren't happy about it?
Then they thought about it, managing Slaughter Redemption would mean dealing with so many issues daily and losing their freedom; the thought was quite headache-inducing.
They came to terms with it.
At this moment,
Xiang Mantang had already taken the Order of Slaughter handed over by Mu Jinyu. After inspecting it, he also realized the mysterious power of the token, and hastily said, "This token indeed has life-saving uses, you should keep it for yourself, or give it to your sister-in-law or aunt..."
Despite their bickering, the brotherly affection between the two disciples was extraordinary. Once Xiang Mantang recognized the token's uniqueness, he felt it suited Mu Jinyu better.
In the future, if he ever found himself targeted by Nameless again, having the Order of Slaughter would allow him to deal with it more calmly.
"Ah, come on, I don't need it. And your sister-in-law is plentiful, who would I give it to? You keep it!"
Mu Jinyu was adamant.
In the end, Xiang Mantang helplessly accepted the Order of Slaughter.
"That's better."
Seeing Xiang Mantang accept it, Mu Jinyu showed a satisfied smile.
Xiang Mantang often undertook dangerous missions, and Mu Jinyu felt that giving the Order of Slaughter to himself might not even be used once a year, so it was most suitable for Xiang.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu turned to San Liu and said, "Let's go announce that Ah-Xiang is the new Lord of the Killing Realm, and then call off the task issued by Withered Tree Quest for Spring!"
San Liu, despite still feeling weak and not wanting to make a public appearance so soon, had no way to refuse since Mu Jinyu put it that way.
He must be planning to protect me, right?
With that thought, San Liu stood up and said, "Follow me."
As he spoke, he cast an envious glance at Nameless, who was still sitting in meditation, then picked up the corpse of the Realm Master and followed Mu Jinyu out of the room.
Nameless glanced at their retreating figures, saw that they didn't call for him, and feeling too lazy to show his face, he closed his eyes again to tend to his injuries.
Mu Jinyu and Xiang Mantang, with San Liu, left the fourth layer and arrived at the great hall of the third layer.
Before they even left, the many assassins waiting for their return were stunned speechless when they saw the three of them covered in blood, with San Liu even carrying a corpse.
Soon after, someone recognized the identity of the corpse in San Liu's hands...
The crowd couldn't help but exclaim in shock:
"What?!"
"That's... the Lord of the Killing Realm?!"
"Weren't they going down to meet the Lord of the Killing Realm? How... how could this happen?"
"Unexpectedly, even the Lord of the Killing Realm has died by their hands. Slaughter Redemption seems to be facing a change of leadership!"
"..."
Hearing the noisy exclamations of the crowd, Mu Jinyu felt it was as annoying as ducks quacking. He inserted his little finger into his ear as if to dig something out and shouted, "Silence!"
His voice was not very loud and didn't contain anger, but it made everyone in the hall listen up.
And when the people thought of the Lord of the Killing Realm dying at Mu Jinyu's hands, they naturally shut up immediately!
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Mu Jinyu spoke up, "You've all seen it, haven't you? The Lord of the Killing Realm is dead, killed by 'Invincible' right here next to me. He also got the 'Order of Slaughter' and is now the new Lord of the Killing Realm. Does anyone present object?"
The crowd was silent, shaking their heads, daring not to object.
Although they felt that it was more likely that the Lord of the Killing Realm had been killed by Mu Jinyu himself and not 'Invincible,' who had just fought evenly with 'Athena.'
But since 'Unparalleled' decided to let 'Invincible' take control of Slaughter Redemption, even if they were somewhat dissatisfied, they dared not voice their opinions.
But what they didn't know was that the Lord of the Killing Realm did indeed die at the hands of Xiang Mantang.
Seeing that no one had objections, Mu Jinyu then asked San Liu to cancel the assassination order Withered Tree Quest for Spring had on him.
"Beep beep!"
The moment the task was canceled, all the assassins received a notification of the cancellation on their specialized smartphone apps.
This made them vaguely guess what had happened.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu and Xiang Mantang, along with San Liu, applied makeup remover to cleanse their faces of any disguise.
The crowd instantly couldn't help but exclaim, "San Liu?! The New Dragon King of Dragon King Hall? Beidou Tianshu?!"
In the past, Mu Jinyu might not have been so familiar with their identities, but having been pursued, they had all come to recognize him, and the other two were faces they could not be more familiar with.
They immediately realized that it must have been the Lord of the Killing Realm who had taken Withered Tree Quest for Spring's contract, thinking the New Dragon King was a minor threat, and had dispatched Nameless and San Liu to chase them. But, unexpectedly, they turned the tables and killed him, leading Slaughter Redemption to fall into Dragon King Hall's hands.
Thinking about this, everyone's expressions grew somewhat strange.
Mu Jinyu waved at them and said, "Don't worry, things will go on as they did before, with no interference from Dragon King Hall."
Later, the guild name 'Jinyu Mantang,' which Mu Jinyu had originally wanted because he feared people would guess his identity, was changed from the named 'Six Disasters Canglong' that he feared people would know him by.
Under San Liu's manipulation, the guild 'Six Disasters Canglong,' the number one assassin guild in the world, officially changed its name to 'Jinyu Mantang.'
The guilds swallowed up by 'Jinyu Mantang' felt quite weird at the time, as if they had been amalgamated once again.
But it mattered little, since the name 'Six Disasters Canglong' hadn't yet spread to the outside world, and nobody else knew about these events.
It wasn't too humiliating for them.
