Tang Ye slightly admired himself after he finished speaking these words because he was actually able to stay calm and composed as he lied now. The two of them believed Tang Ye, and it wasn’t just them. Even An Nanjing believed him. It was none other than because if there was no business relationship between the An Clan and Tang Ye, then how could An Biru have possibly given Tang Ye so many sets of Heaven Rank equipment? How could she have dispatched two Exalt Realm assassins to follow Tang Ye? But An Nanjing wondered exactly what deal Tang Ye had made with An Biru to make the Southern An Clan pay such a huge price! Even though she was puzzled, An Nanjing had never asked about it. In her opinion, she was merely curious and a little puzzled by it, but it wasn’t at the extent of making her interested to find out the answer. The two of them fell silent. Truthfully speaking, they were naturally unwilling to obey the orders of a Spirit Realm profounder. However, this Sword Emperor who stood before them was one who went to extremes, and he was a decisive and ruthless person. So, if they didn’t do as he said, then not to mention complaining about them to Madam An, the slightest conflict might even make him raise his sword against them! If it was in the past, then they would naturally not fear Tang Ye. However, they had no choice but to fear him now. Tang Ye and An Nanjing possessed the strength to kill Exalt Realm experts, and there were over 100 assassins in the surroundings. Moreover, their concealment technique was utterly useless before Tang Ye. Their shock increased the more they thought about it because if Tang Ye had the intention to kill them, then it might really be possible if he was willing to pay a certain price! “What about this!?” 10 top-grade energy stones had suddenly appeared in Tang Ye’s palm, and he said, “I’ll give you 10 top-grade energy stones for every single person you kill for me. What do you think?” He didn’t want to shed all pretenses with them. After all, there was no bitter enmity between them, and if it were possible, it was best if they could cooperate with each other. “Really?” Their eyes immediately lit up when they saw the top-grade energy stones in Tang Ye’s palm. Top-grade energy stones were treasures that were precious even to them. After all, ordinary energy stones were utterly incapable of providing them with sufficient energy at their current realms of cultivation, and only top-grade energy stones and extreme-grade energy stones could satisfy their needs. Tang Ye was delighted when he heard this and said to himself, Looks like I have a chance! Tang Ye didn’t beat around the bush, He casually tossed over those 10 top-grade energy stones and said, “10 for a King Realm profounder, 30 for a Spirit Realm profounder, 50 and 5 top-grade Strider Talismans for an Exalt Realm profounder. Alright?” What did he lack the least right now? It was energy stones and wealth. There were over 30,000 extreme-grade energy stones within the tiny vortex. A single extreme-grade energy stone could be exchanged for 100 top-grade energy stones. In other words, he had over 3 million top-grade energy stones.... Qing was about to agree when Hong said, “80 for an Exalt Realm expert, 150 for an Exalt Realm expert at the fifth rank or above. I’m not trying to extort you on purpose but Exalt Realm experts at the fifth rank or above have an even deeper understanding and grasp of spatial techniques. Moreover, they can execute spatial teleportation for a short distance, so it’s very difficult to assassinate them!” Tang Ye pondered deeply for a short moment and said, “Alright!” Top-grade energy stones were nothing to him, but two Exalt Realm experts were quite important to him instead. As for what she said about not extorting him on purpose, he’d just acted as if he hadn’t heard it. After all, he could at least hire four Exalt Realm experts in the southern territory with 80 energy stones as the price, but their quality would probably be inferior to these two. No matter what, all of that was just a trivial matter, and he couldn’t be bothered to started bargaining with them. The two of them were immediately delighted when they heard Tang Ye agree. Even though they were assassins fostered by the An Clan, they received a fixed amount of cultivation resources every single month, and it wasn’t much as well. Just take top-grade energy stones for example. They merely received just 10 per month, and these 10 were utterly insufficient for them to cultivate with. So, they would usually accept some assignments as well. However, when the rewards of those assignments were compared to the compensation that Tang Ye provided, the gap was simply like the gap between the heavens and the earth. Hong hesitated for a moment before she said, “I have some friends as well. If you have sufficient wealth and need them, then I can ask them to come over as well!” Tang Ye was stunned, and then he felt overjoyed and said, “What are their cultivations like?” “They’re all at the Exalt Realm!” said Hong. “How many?” “Around 20 plus!” “Alright, bring all of them here!” Tang Ye wasn’t able to maintain his composure anymore. Over 20 Exalt Realm assassins! My god! In the past he didn’t believe it when others said that money was all-powerful, but he believed it now. So long as he was wealthy, then was there any expert he couldn’t hire? “But....” Hong glanced at Tang Ye and was slightly hesitant as if she wanted to say something. Tang Ye was stunned, and then he quickly understood what she meant. He immediately said, “See those sets of equipment that my brothers are wearing? You should know how much they are worth, right? Besides that, would your Madam work with me if I were poor? So, don’t worry about money. Just ask them to hurry over here. Right, the two of you don’t have to go back. I’ll give you some top-grade Transmission Talismans so you can notify them right away!” Tang Ye withdrew a few top-grade Transmission Talismans and tossed them over to the two women. Both of them thought for a moment and felt that Tang Ye made sense, so they immediately stopped hesitating and utilized the Transmission Talismans to notify the assassins in Ancient Domain City. “Are you very rich?” Meanwhile, An Nanjing who’d remained silent until now had suddenly spoken. Tang Ye was stunned. He didn’t know why she’d asked this question, but he didn’t think too much of it and immediately chuckled. “I’m not very rich. It’s just alright. Haha....”An Nanjing pondered deeply for a moment before she said, “My An Clan has 26 at the Exalt Realm. Amongst them, 4 are at the third rank of the Exalt Realm, 1 is at the sixth rank of the Exalt Realm, and the rest are at the first and second rank of the Exalt Realm. If you have sufficient top-grade energy stones....” I do, I do!” Tang Ye interrupted her and said with slight excitement, “Ask all of them to come over. Right, even if they have no one to kill, I’ll give each of them 3 top-grade energy stones per day. You two sisters can stop staring at me. Your group will be the same as hers. From today onward, I’ll provide all of you with 3 top-grade energy stones per day even if I don’t make you kill anymore. Of course, there’s a condition to it, and it’s that you have to obey my orders during this period. Naturally, these orders will be within the scope of your ability. I won’t ask all of you to assassinate Monarch Realm experts.” “Alright!” Hong was the first to agree. We’re really going to get rich this time.... An Nanjing nodded to display her agreement, and then she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, “Give me 80 top-grade energy stones first!” “Why?” Tang Ye was puzzled. “I just killed an Exalt Realm expert....” "...."
