Chapter 5399
- “That’s the price to hire a One Basic Celestial King from the Blood Skull Gang. If you want someone stronger to do the job, the price will, naturally, be different. However, in my opinion, even the weakest assassin in the Blood Skull Gang should be sufficient to kill a mere peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial...”
- “Yes, yes, it’s sufficient,” Zheng Hong Yi agreed. He could not help but gulp when he heard that price that was quoted. Although he knew it was going to be costly to hire an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang, he did not expect it to be so expensive. He thought to himself, ‘The price to hire a One Basic Celestial King from the Blood Skull Gang is two purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that have been nurtured by Celestial Lords? Thank the heavens that Wang Hong will share the cost with me. Although I can afford to pay two purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that have been nurtured by Celestial Lords, if I use them to pay for the assassin, I’d be without protection.’
- Zheng Hong Yi felt rather fortunate. With Wang Hong sharing the cost of hiring an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang with him, he would only have to part with one of the two purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that had been nurtured by Celestial Lords in his possession. With this, he would have one left for his protection. Although he hated Duan Ling Tian for robbing him of the final position of a true disciple in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he would not have given up two Celestial Weapons that could protect him just to take Duan Ling Tian’s life.
