"Why do you want to build one?" Qing Qiuâer and You Feiling asked in confusion, especially since such a group would only bring trouble for them. Moreover, countless cultivators already dislike them, mainly because of their sectâs status as a dual cultivation sect.
"Are you two afraid weâll get in trouble?" Both women nodded at Zhang Fei [5]. "Isnât the Hidden Moon Sect also a den of assassins? If other cultivators didnât bother with them and used their services to handle the tasks that they couldnât accomplish themselves, then we should be able to do the same, right? We just need to follow their pattern by investigating our targetâs background first, and we will refuse any incoming killing tasks if our targets are innocent. This way, I believe other cultivators wonât bother us either, and they might use our services."
"Why are you eager to form an assassin group?"
"Actually, I already have an assassin group founded by one of my wives, and we have thousands of members." Zhang Fei [5]âs revelation surprised both women. "My groupâs name is the Demon Fox, and they are spread throughout the Three Mortal Realms. Once I have settled in this realm, I will bring them over. However, they must enter seclusion to increase their strength first, and I will deploy them in this realm once they are fully prepared. Furthermore, we cannot develop a sect without adequate cultivation resources, right? Assassination tasks should give us a lot of income, and we can use it to buy those resources."
"Thatâs true." Qing Qiuâer then spoke. "Iâve heard that the fees for hiring assassins from the Hidden Moon Sect cost a lot of fortune, depending on their target. The cheapest is 50 million purple jewels, and the most expensive is 100 million golden jewels."
"Building a reputation isnât easy, and our group couldnât become popular overnight. Moreover, the Hidden Moon Sect isnât the only sect with an assassin group, and there are many others spread across various domains." You Feiling spoke skeptically.
"Can you reach your current level overnight?" You Feilingâs lips twitched in response to Zhang Feiâs question. "See? Nothing is easy in this life, and we have to keep working hard to achieve our goals. For now, we shouldnât think too much about the assassin group, especially since we still have many preparations to make to change our sectâs image from a dual cultivation sect to a universal sect. Contact those elders now and instruct them to prepare all that."
Qing Qiuâer took out her communication device and contacted the elders of their sect, while You Feiling asked Zhang Fei [5]. "Why did you name your group the demon fox group? If we use that name, people will think that we are a demon group, and they might attack us."
"People who attack others just because of a name are the stupidest people. Moreover, we are cultivators; we should be able to distinguish between humans and demons, and we should not carelessly kill other people." Zhang Fei [5] then touched You Feilingâs forehead, sharing images of his two other forms with her, shocking her. "Qiuâer has known about my three identities since we first met, and others wonât be able to tell me apart if I donât use my other two forms."
You Feilingâs eyes moved up and down, seriously observing Zhang Fei [5]. However, she couldnât sense any beast or demon auras from him, which proved that he was truly an ordinary human. His three identities perplexed her, especially since she had never met a human with three different entities. Even though beasts could transform into humans, their beast auras would still be detectable by others, but she couldnât sense anything from him.
*Tap... Tap...*
You Feiling looked at three women, who were walking side by side towards them. Zhang Fei [5] introduced them to her. "Xi Hongyan is my senior brotherâs wife, and Xi Qiuwei is her aunt. Meanwhile, Yinying is one of my wives, and their clan is an assassin clan."
"Oh?" You Feiling was momentarily surprised.
"Are you thinking about establishing another assassin group?" Xi Hongyan asked him.
"Yes." Zhang Fei [5] explained to them about his status as an elder of the Moonlit Passion Temple, and he also explained to them about his future plans, including the assassin group. "What do you guys think about this matter?"
Xi Yinying answered him directly. "Husband, I have no problem with that, but you must discuss this matter with Sister Hua and the Wen Twins first, especially since the three of them are the ones who always take care of your assassin group."
"Yes." Zhang Fei [5] then looked at Xi Hongyan and Xi Qiuwei. "What about you two?"
"Does that mean you will bring our Xi Clan members to this realm in the future?" Xi Qiuwei asked him instead.
Xi Hongyan also spoke to him. "If you are willing to bring our Xi Clan members to this realm, I will help you with the new group."
"Haha." Zhang Fei [5] laughed softly. "Naturally, I will bring them to this realm, but I wonât be doing it anytime soon. I want to settle here while I investigate the situation in the other domains first."
Both women agreed with that, but then Xi Hongyan spoke to him. "Since you already planned all that, I think it would be better if we joined the sect too. However, I will discuss this with my husband first, especially since he has already thought of several ideas for us."
"Oh! Thatâs right! Senior Brother Moxian and his Lin Clan are puppeteers, and so are Miao Miao and her Miao Clan." Zhang Fei [5] then looked at Qing Qiuâer, who had just finished speaking with the elders via a long-distance communication device. "What do you think about the puppeteer?"
Qing Qiuâer informed him directly. "In fact, puppeteers are quite rare in this realm, but there are several clans that practice it in other domains. If you have some puppeteers on your side, we might be able to enlist their help in establishing our own puppeteer group."
Zhang Fei [5] immediately contacted Lin Moxian and Miao Miao, asking them to meet them on the rooftop. As soon as they arrived there, he immediately told them his plan, surprising them a bit.
Lin Moxian answered him first. "Junior brother, if you want to move my Lin Clan to this realm, you should first discuss this matter with my aunt. If she agrees, our members will definitely agree."
"As for my Miao Clan, Iâm not sure they will agree to move to this realm because they are already too comfortable with their life in the Red Sun Realm, and they have no desire to start a new life." Miao Miaoâs answer did not surprise Zhang Fei [5] and the others, especially since everyone had their own choices. "However, I can contact some of them, and I believe they will be willing to move here if I persuade them."
Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding and opened the gate to the Red Sun Realm. "Go to your clan now, and my clone will meet you there."
"Alright." Miao Miao immediately disappeared into the gate.
Lin Moxian then asked him, "What about the Soul Hall? Are you going to ask our master to join that sect?"
"Iâve sent a voice transmission to our master, but he is busy fighting the demons in that area." Zhang Fei [5] pointed northeast. "Your aunt and the others are also there along with their respective sect members. If our master is not willing to join us, I will hand over the Soul Hall to Senior Sister Quuyue and the others. As for the blacksmith hall, I will ask Tie Xuan to lead it, and Shi Xi will help him."
"Shi Xiâs ability in blacksmithing has already surpassed Tie Xuan, so I think she is more suitable to lead the blacksmith hall, right?" Lin Moxian asked.
Zhang Fei [5] nodded at him. "Shi Xiâs abilities have indeed surpassed Tie Xuanâs now, but heâs more experienced as a leader, so Iâll hand over the blacksmith hall to him."
"What about the alchemy hall? Are you going to lead it yourself?" You Feiling asked.
"If Senior Jingxia agrees to join us, she will take charge of the alchemy hall. If she is unwilling and chooses to stay at the Star Cloud Pavilion, I will ask one of my wives to lead it." Qing Qiuâer and You Feiling wore curious looks, especially since they had not yet met all of Zhang Fei [5]âs wives. "Feng Qingmeng and Feng Yanxi are expert alchemists, and their abilities have advanced greatly in the past two decades. Apart from them, I have several alchemist wives who have reached god-rank."
Xi Yinying then spoke. "Sister Yunxiao and the othersâ abilities in alchemy are not inferior to our husbandâs, and they are already used to concocting superior-grade pills. As long as they work together, your sect will never lack a supply of pills, and other sects will probably be jealous of us."
"Thenâ"
"Hmm?" Zhang Fei [5] abruptly looked toward the distance. "Those beasts finally appeared."
"What kind of beasts are you referring to?"
"The beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Grave Domain." Qing Qiuâer and You Feilingâs expressions also turned serious after Zhang Fei [5] said that. "I donât have clear information about the purpose of those beasts and demons invading this domain, but the presence of those evil beasts doesnât bode well, and they might cause big trouble soon."
