Chapter 441: Chapter 335: The Chance to Fight Against Fate (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

"Honored Gold Medal Messenger, your mission has been submitted. Here is another new task, personally assigned by the Deputy Pavilion Master for you to execute~ I wish you a pleasant mission."

Stellar Bay, a hidden base belonging to the Hidden Assassination Pavilion.

To call it a hidden base, in truth, it had almost become semi-public. The place was filled with noisy clamor and various unpleasant smells, as people dressed in strange attire came and went. Some would even pull out a few blood-drenched heads and slap them directly onto the counter.

"Settle the account!"

A killer with a physique as robust as a bear, standing out conspicuously in the crowd, spoke up.

But regardless of whether the assassin was fat or thin, as long as they could kill their target, they were considered a good assassin—such was the motto of the Hidden Assassination Pavilion. The assassins here roughly fell into two categories: the direct descendants cultivated by the Pavilion itself, or bounty hunters who came from elsewhere to take on jobs for money.

Naturally, the direct descendants had a higher reputation, as the bounty hunters were not without instances of changing sides partway through a job.

The direct descendants were also stronger, with more than eighty percent of the Gold Medal Assassins originating from the Hidden Assassination Pavilion, and ’Qianqiu’ was a renowned Gold Medal Assassin from the Pavilion.

His career wasn’t long, but his rise was meteoric, squeezing into the ranks of the top ten assassins of the Hidden Assassination Pavilion in less than a decade, with his ranking continuously climbing.

When the others realized ’Qianqiu’ was at the scene, the entire Hidden Assassination Pavilion’s mission base suddenly fell silent as if gripped by a chilling frost.

Many looked towards the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, their eyes filled with a mix of dread and fear.

And not without a trace of admiration.

The attendant at the counter threw a suggestive look at Qianqiu and stuffed a slip of paper into his hand.

Unmindful of everyone’s attention, Qianqiu showed no self-awareness that, as an assassin, he needed to conceal himself. Instead, he waved enthusiastically, like a celebrity surrounded by fans.

And promptly strode away.

Having left the base, Qianqiu rubbed the slip of paper in his palm, reducing it to tiny fragments that scattered with the wind.

"Though I commit indiscriminate killing, and though I frequent brothels and operas, I am, after all, someone with a strong sense of cleanliness," he murmured.

Humming a tune, he made his way back to his own secure tower.

He then took out the sealed letter containing the new task, opened it with the Hidden Assassination Pavilion’s special secret method, and skimmed through it. Qianqiu’s brows furrowed.

"Assassinate ’Peyero,’ the Third Commander of the Scarlet Lotus Empire? This mission is asking for my death..."

The Scarlet Lotus Empire was a superpower of the Great Oasis within the Shattered Sea domain, even stronger than the Seven Stars Alliance.

To bear the title of Third Commander in such a force, one must be among the top tier of the Six Senses, likely no much weaker than he was, surrounded by numerous personal guards. No matter how you looked at it, this assassination mission was incredibly difficult.

After all, Qianqiu’s method of assassination had always been straightforward and open; he didn’t resort to tactics like poisoning, ambush, or setting traps.

The weak overcoming the strong seemed unlikely.

Furthermore,

"This Third Commander of the Scarlet Lotus, If I recall correctly, is a representative figure of the Resistance Faction."

The history of the Shattered Sea domain is profound and ancient, far surpassing that of ’younger’ domains like the Falling Star Pit and the Sighing Mountain Range. Moreover, it was commonly believed that the Shattered Sea had experienced a devastating war in the past, a catastrophic war of indescribable scale that shattered several Great Domains and formed the current Shattered Sea.

In other words, the scale of the Shattered Sea was at least equivalent to several Falling Star Pits combined.

This region was a patchwork of oases both large and small, with a stable order formed over countless years. Unlike the Great Domain of the Falling Star Pit, where each Great Oasis stood in isolation, the oases here were closely connected, often intermarrying, with a little bit of everyone in everything, overseen by the highest super oases.

Therefore, super oases like the Seven Stars Alliance and the Scarlet Lotus Empire had a rather large sphere of influence.

But that didn’t mean these super oases could rest easy.

The indescribable war that devastated several Great Domains in the Shattered Sea area left remnants that persist to this day with effects both good and bad.

The good was that in the Shattered Sea domain, the number of Mysterious Evils on the sea surface was far less than in other domains, allowing airships to travel relatively easily, providing a foundation for the current prosperity of the Shattered Sea.

It was known that the larger the expedition entering the Fog, the more likely it was to attract Mysterious Evils, which was why the majority of exploration teams had fewer than ten members. Only powerful trading companies could organize large groups for travel.

There were also downsides.

Most of the time, the Shattered Sea domain was rather peaceful, but occasionally it would ’erupt.’ The powers left behind by the Evil God in the Shattered Sea would explode, triggering a terrifying wave of disasters.

Two natural calamities would arise, followed by waves of Mysterious Evils, and even apocalyptic Mysterious Evils might emerge, wreaking havoc across the domain.

Such disasters had occurred several times according to the records.

Causing countless regular and Great Oases to be destroyed and vanish. Super oases like the Seven Stars Alliance and the Scarlet Lotus Empire, while stable like giant ships, faced risks when confronted with giant waves and suffered losses.

Once, Stellar Bay sustained severe damage, and its current prosperity was the result of rebuilding afterward.

"The Resistance Faction advocates investigating the causes of disasters to prevent and halt their further occurrence. It’s not confined to the Scarlet Lotus Empire; it’s just that the Scarlet Lotus Empire is one of the oases where the call for resistance is comparatively louder."

"On the other hand, there’s the Conservative Faction, who believe that disasters are inevitable. They see no need to search for the root cause since the losses caused by disasters so far are not significant. They argue that if the exploration process angers one of the Evil Gods, that is when the real disaster would strike."
