"Mr. Deng, our Xuyi Merchant House is the largest in the world, and this business has many divisions." The Sixth Elder said warmly, "Apart from some surface-level businesses, we also have a specialized organization under our banner that helps people resolve their troubles. If you have troubles or enemies, you can come to us. This organization is called 'Killer's Hall'."

  "Killer Toa?"

  Teng Qing Shan's eyebrows twitched, "Sixth Elder, you want me to be an assassin?" In his past life, Teng Qing Shan was a top-notch killer, although he didn't mind killing people, but he also didn't want to do it.

  "Hong sir, what is your status?" asked Liu Zhang Lao continuously.

  Although few people know about the news of Da Zhang Lao and Teng Qing Shan's battle, those few elders within the Xue Yue Merchant House still knew. Even the number one warrior under the War God, 'Xue Yue War God' Da Zhang Lao, acknowledged that he wasn't a match for Teng Qing Shan! The extent to which the Xue Yue Merchant House now values Teng Qing Shan can be imagined.

  "In our Killer Hall, there are also martial arts masters among the killers!"

  However, Wu Sheng accepted the task, and that must have gone through Wu Sheng's own agreement." The Sixth Elder smiled, "I know Mr. Teng, you really want to get the Thirty-six Hours! Our Chamber of Commerce elders also know that Mr. Teng has extraordinary strength. Moreover, in our Killer Hall, we occasionally receive some tasks that are simply impossible to complete."

  "Of course, what's considered an impossible task for others is nothing in front of Mr. Teng."

  The six elders laughed and said, "We also know that Mr. Teng, as a strong person like you, is not concerned about money. In our Killer Hall, the Martial Saints are also divided into levels. The congenital void pill Martial Saint is called an ordinary Martial Saint. The congenital solid pill Martial Saint is called a top-level Martial Saint. And the congenital golden pill Martial Saint is called a peak Martial Saint."

  "We are preparing, on top of the Killer level, another level called - 'Strongest Martial Saint'."

  Six elders smiled at Teng Qing Shan, "Mr. Teng, known as the 'Strongest Martial Saint', is indeed worthy of his reputation. And to ask the 'Strongest Martial Saint' to take action, there is only one condition - one of the thirty-six engravings of the 'Thirty-Six Open Mountain Styles', handed over to the Strongest Martial Saint for two or three years."

  Heng Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

  "Moreover, if someone really invites Mr. ... we will show the task to Mr. first and see if he accepts it, which is entirely up to Mr. himself." The six elders said in a row, "As for a carving, how many years does Mr. need? It's unlikely to be completely occupied. A stone carving, the price is too high, Mr. can afford that price, but not many families are willing."

  "If we just give Mr. a few more years, our business will be guaranteed. Then there won't be any problem."

  Heng Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

  "Alright, I promise." Teng Qing Shan smiled and nodded, "A block of stone carving, it'll take me three years."

  Actually, according to estimates, it will be ready in a few months, but just in case, let's set a longer deadline.

  "Haha……" The Sixth Elder laughed, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. Today is a chaotic world where the hundred clans are vying for dominance. Some families are prosperous, while others decline. There are many families with irreconcilable hatred towards each other! What's most helpless is that there are some tasks that our Killer Hall can't accept, nor do we have the ability to accept."

  "With you here, there are a total of thirty-six stone carvings in the world. I guarantee that within ten years, you will see at least eighteen of them, no question!" The Sixth Elder was extremely confident.

  Many families in the world have stone carvings, but none of them are willing to take them out.

  Just lending a look for three years can remove the thorn in one's eye, and many families are willing to do so. After all, there is the Xu family business as a guarantee, a business with thousands of years of history, whose credibility doesn't need to be worried about at all.

  "Haha, then I'll wait for good news from the Sixth Elder," said Teng Qing Shan.

  "As soon as I have news, I will inform you immediately, sir."

  The six elders also stood up, with a smile on their faces, "Then I won't disturb you, sir. I'll take my leave first."

  The weather was cold, and Teng Qing Shan watched as the group of people led by Liu Zhang Lao left. He knew that... and Xue said that the cooperation between their businesses would be beneficial to both parties. With Teng Qing Shan joining the "Killer's Hall" of Xue's business, the Killer's Hall would gain a higher status among the major killer organizations on Duanmu Continent.

  While Tongqing Mountain can also conveniently get stone carvings!

  "There is a stone inscription, which can save me a lot of time."

  "What I need most now is time, as soon as possible... back to my hometown, Jiuzhou!" Teng Qing looked far into the south.

  There lived his parents, there lived his sister, there lived his brother...... Under the divine axe mountain, in the empty belly of the mountain.

  The cave has a length and width of over 20 zhang (60-70 meters) and a height of about 6-7 zhang (16-17 meters). Such an empty space in the belly of the mountain, not to mention Tan Qing Shan and his five companions, even fifty people could easily live here. The only trouble is - this cave is underground, pitch black, without any light at all.

  Fortunately, there is Tie Ye Guo!

  A string of green-glowing fruits was casually placed in the belly of the mountain, although each iron leaf fruit was very weak, but after two hundred iron leaf fruits were scattered, it also made Li Kun and Lao Wang, who had internal energy, easily see most of the places inside the mountain.

  And Teng Beast, with the help of over two hundred iron leaf fruit lights, saw clearly every place around.

  At the same time on the mountain wall, several caves were dug. Each cave had a long bed, two iron lotus leaves, and even a door curtain was installed on top. How comfortable to sleep!

  ...lived in the mountains for seven days.

  Thirty-six stone slabs leaned against the mountain wall, and Teng Qing sat cross-legged in stillness. The entire belly of the mountain was empty except for him.

  At this moment, Teng Qing Shan opened his eyes.

  "Xiao Juan and the others, in this dark environment, indeed are not used to living here, so they just sleep at night, usually outside." Teng Qing Shan looked around, alone in the mountain belly, "Right, it's pitch black, they can't see clearly, it's normal that they're not used to it."

  Hong Qingshan lowered his head and looked at his chest.

  The small cauldron was sealed by Qingyun Mountain with iron sheets, and it also wore a thick leather jacket. In this cave house, the small cauldron calmed down the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it peaceful and gentle. Although there were colorful halos, due to the heavy sealing, others did not discover them at all. Nor did they know that it was because of the small cauldron's fate.

  "Brother Deng, it's time for lunch."

  "It's lunchtime, it's lunchtime, it's lunchtime......" The echoes reverberated through the tunnel.

  Hong Qing Shan smiled and stood up, holding the Wheel Return Gun as he walked to the entrance of the tunnel and quickly left along it.

  "Roar!!"

  The six-legged knife-wielding creature peered through the passageway on the other side, its triangular skull's eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

  Having been a 'neighbor' for seven days, the six-legged knife-wielding insect also knew the surname of that group of humans and Qing Luan and Kuang Feng Ying. However, due to Teng Qing Shan's and Qing Luan's ferocity, the six-legged knife-wielding insect didn't dare to provoke them. It clearly remembered - on the first day when Teng Qing Shan and Qing Luan moved in, they had severely beaten it up.

  A human girl also warned it.

  "Humans... can also speak beast language..." For the past few days, Rokka's favorite thing has been that girl who can speak beast language.

  The triangular head shrunk back, and the six-legged knife continued to sleep there.

  For one thousand years, it has been sleeping for at least nine hundred years.

  Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun sat around together, enjoying a sumptuous lunch.

  "Xiao Jin's cooking skills are getting better and better." Teng Qing Shan ate and praised, this is indeed Teng Qing Shan's true words. He found that during the nearly three months he lived in Shen Axe Mountain, Xiao Jin's cooking skills had been constantly improving, and the taste was also getting better and better.

  "Uh-huh." The beast also nodded in agreement.

  Li Juan's face turned even more rosy and radiant as she listened to Teng Qing Shan's praise: "It's okay, Xiao Ping is also helping me on the side." Li Juan couldn't help but think of what Xiao Ping had told her before - the first way to capture a man's heart was to cook delicious dishes that made his mouth water. In her heart, Li Juan silently praised: "Xiao Ping was right after all."

  At that time, Tan Qing and his group were having a great time eating at their table.

  "A Xiu, A Xiu......" a urgent and anxious voice suddenly rang out.

  "Hmm?" Teng Qing furrowed his brow.

  The beast glared with one eye and immediately fled in a flurry.

  "Who is it?" Teng Qing Shan was puzzled in his heart, the voice he had never heard before, and not a familiar person, so he also got up and ran out, Li Kun, Xiao Ping, Lao Wang and others followed him running out.

  Outside.

  Teng Qing Shan saw at a glance that a rustic-looking, yet very slender and petite farm girl wearing a patched grey cotton-padded jacket was grasping Teng Beast's hand, her face covered in tears: "Ah Shou, quickly, save people, save people!" The farm girl seemed to be in an extremely anxious and terrified state, speaking somewhat incoherently.

  "Go, go." The beast also glared with its eyes, like an angry lion, as if it was about to run out.

  "Ah Shou." Teng Qing mountain walked out, "Ask this girl, what's going on?"

  "Teacher." Teng Beast turned his head and looked over, "She, she is Ah Xiu!"

  Li Kun said, "Teng big brother, Ah Shou often practices boxing in the northern forest, there are some farmlands over there, and rural women and girls often work there. I reckon it's someone Ah Shou occasionally knows." Teng Qing Shan listened and suddenly realized... indeed, this was near Nan Shan City.

  There are indeed many villages around.

  "If you don't leave now, it will be too late." The girl was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

  "Teacher!" Teng Beast was also anxious and wanted to leave!

  "Old Wang, bring those two Red Wind Warhorses over." Teng Qing Shan knew that now was not the time for detailed questioning, and his disciple 'Teng Beast' was a stubborn fool... If they were to rescue someone, even he himself might not be able to stop them.

  Two red-haired wolves were dragged over.

  "A'beast, take that girl up." Teng Qing Shan directly jumped onto another Red Wind Battle Wolf, while Teng Beast immediately hugged the girl and also got on a Red Wind Battle Wolf.

  "Xiao Juan, I'm going out with Ah Shou for a while, and we'll be back soon," said Teng Qing Shan.

  "Hmm." Li Kun nodded repeatedly.

  Lao Wang watched this scene with a sigh. He wasn't worried; in his opinion, no matter how big the trouble was, it would be nothing once the master took action.

  "Miss, show us the way." Teng Qing Shan instructed.

  "Good." The farm girl nodded in agreement.

  "Giddy up! Giddy up!"

  The two red-haired wolves immediately spread their four hooves, trampled on the accumulated snow, and galloped away.
