Monarch Night

Zheng Yunqi and the others couldn't help but feel amused.

The Leader is starting to play dirty again, it's so entertaining.

Fei Yibin maintained a somber expression and said, "Fei Yibin of the Eighth Generation Disciples from Flying Sword Peak of the Yishan Sect greets the Starlight Master. My humble name sullies the Starlight Master's ears."

Starlight Master replied casually, "I recall that the main peak of Yishan Sect is Yujian Peak. All our escort head processes are handled by Yujian Peak. I wonder what connection there is with Flying Sword Peak?"

"Both Yujian and Flying Swords belong to Yishan Sect."

Fei Yibin said, "Some things, the elders consider beneath their dignity to say, but we juniors cannot just stand by and watch."

Starlight Master chuckled heartily and said, "So this was the personal idea of the two of you. Hahaha, snuck in, didn't you?"

Fei Yibin retorted, "What do you mean by that? This matter reflects the thoughts of everyone in Yishan Sect."

Starlight Master smiled, "I wonder what Mr. Fei intends to do? Please, draw a line."

Fei Yibin said, "Thirty percent, we want thirty percent of the monthly profits for Yishan Sect."

Zheng Yunqi was furious, "Empty words, and you want thirty percent? You Eighth Generation Disciples at most have the cultivation of a Marquis, and you dare speak so boldly, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?!"

Fei Yibin replied, "This has nothing to do with cultivation. The key is, with our Yishan Sect's name being used, it's only fair we get a share, isn't it? Besides, this is just a blinding technique here, asking for thirty percent isn't much."

Starlight Master laughed, replying nonchalantly, "Indeed, thirty percent isn't much. I'll give you a bit more."

Fei Yibin was overjoyed and said, "The Leader truly has a grand vision. So, this matter..."

"I'll give you a hundred percent!"

Starlight Master rose, beaming, "It's all yours!"

Suddenly, with a reverse grip.

Clang.

The long-missed Nine-Ring Great Saber was unsheathed.

A flash of brilliance.

A gush of blood soared to the sky.

Two heads spun into the air.

For Starlight Master, killing these two was effortless. With the entire Wei Wo Zheng Sect to bear the blame, who would the Starlight Master fear?

"Leader!"

Zheng Yunqi and the other three were shocked.

The Leader had actually taken direct action to kill.

How will they explain this to Yishan Sect?

Starlight Master leisurely wiped the blade, "Clean up the bodies."

"This..."

"These two sneaked in here. Clean up the bodies well, and no one will know where they died."

Starlight Master sheathed the cleaned blade.

Unfazed, "Besides, causing such a rift between us and Yishan Sect is truly rebellious. This way, we're actually helping Yishan Sect to clear out dissenters."

The three looked at each other.

Could it really be said like that?

But upon thinking, it made sense. The Leader hadn't gone on a killing spree for a long time, and these two dared to come and extort, demanding thirty percent abruptly.

The Leader had every right to be furious.

However, killing these two could still leave lingering issues.

The three felt a bit anxious internally but dared not speak.

They quickly and deftly handled the bodies.

"You must think deeper about this matter."

Starlight Master spoke deeply, "Our Escort Agency is at a crucial moment, and nothing can go wrong. If these two had succeeded in taking money back to the Mountain Gate... then other disciples from Yishan Sect would keep coming. How would we deal with that then?"

The three were immediately startled.

Upon careful thought, that indeed seemed inevitable.

If two Eighth Generation Disciples succeeded in getting thirty percent, then others would surely come.

"Furthermore, it would give them the impression that our Escort Agency is like fish on a chopping block, and Yishan Sect's ambition would only grow, perhaps even trying to control the Escort Agency entirely... which would render all our efforts meaningless."

"If they came again and the headquarters happened to conduct a secret investigation, what results could we speak of then?"

"Therefore, this step, we cannot retreat, we must kill!"

"Killing them will surely have follow-up consequences, but when those arise, we shall face them together. A mere Yishan Sect, can they overturn the heavens?"

Starlight Master was very assertive.

Zheng Yunqi and the others exchanged glances, simultaneously saying, "The Leader is right; we shall face it together."

Calculating in their minds, on how to involve their families for some support.

After all, Yishan Sect was introduced by their families, and now that such a mishap occurred, it was only right for the families to clean up the mess.

"Master, the two from Yishan Sect have been killed by me."

Fang Che started to report.

Without overly dramatizing, he merely exaggerated the situation by three to five times in his narration.

"Well done!"

Yin Shen Palace, with a killing aura, said, "It's exactly this kind of thing that should be nipped in the bud. Otherwise, endless troubles in the future!"

As an experienced warrior, he saw farther from the start.

"In matters of killing, once Yishan Sect conceived such an idea, it was bound to be unavoidable. In the end, it would still come down to killing. Since that's the case, better to kill from the start! Show a stance of no compromise."

Yin Shen Palace said.

Fang Che replied, "Master, you're right, that's what I thought too. But after all, having killed their men, the other side will surely retaliate. This aspect does make me a bit uneasy."

"Since Yishan Sect wants a piece of the profits, but didn't dare to make a direct move by their higher-ups, they sent disciples to probe first."

"So there's still time. The key lies in the team's secret visit from headquarters, which should happen within these days. When the time comes, use your wits."

Yin Shen Palace subtly reminded his disciple, "As long as that side shows interest, with cooperation from Yixin Sect, Yishan Sect won't stand a chance."

Fang Che understood, "I understand, Master. I'll await your guidance on the exact actions. I will report anytime, and please bear with the trouble, offering some advice."
