The Strongest Sect of All Times

Chapter 138: establishing drizzle hall

TN: Would readers prefer that the translation skip to be parallel with the manhua (that would mean skipping to chapter 279+)? Comment a thought or suggestion!

Li Luoqiu had many reasons for her compromise. 

For example, she was currently imprisoned, unable to leave like a bird in a cage. 

For example, she had thought about it during the night and concluded that this Ironbone Sect and Jun Changxiao must have some strange potential to suddenly become powerful. 

For example, he was willing to make her a hall master and would not restrict her freedom it seemed not too bad. 

A more important point: the Invincible Might Cannon!

As a professional assassin, Li Luoqiu excelled in the use of various hidden weapons and she also liked hidden weapons. This powerful hidden weapon that shot out beams of light made her heart flutter. 

Miss Li, Jun Changxiao said. Since we had a fierce life-or-death battle yesterday, although this lord hoped you would join the Ironbone Sect, I was a little worried.

Worried that I would kill you? Li Luoqiu teased. 

Jun Changxiao shrugged. This lord does not believe you have the ability.

Li Luoqiu wondered, What were you worried about?

This lord is worried that your subordinates will not be law-abiding. If they act up in the sect, it will be a little awkward.

Sect Head Jun, one criterion of a good assassin is obeying commands. If I tell them to sit, no one would dare stand.

I am still not very relieved. Jun Changxiao took out a small medicine bottle and said, This is a poison that will recur every three months. Miss Li can first take it.

What do you mean? Li Luoqius expression had become cold. 

Jun Changxiao explained, I must inspect your behavior. I will give you the antidote every three months. If your behavior is good over the one year inspection period, I will completely detoxify your body.

Sect Head Jun is really careful, Li Luoqiu said. 

Jun Changxiao shrugged. In this dangerous world, how can one live without a little caution?

No wonder you can become the lord of sect at such a young age. Li Luoqiu walked over and took the medicine bottle. After taking this, can you give me the Invincible Might Cannon?

I can, Jun Changxiao said. 

Li Luoqiu uncorked the bottle and downed the poison. It was a little bitter, a little spicy, but not much of anything else. 

Hand it over.

Shua!

Jun Changxiao tossed the Desert Eagle over. 

After Li Luoqiu caught it, the muzzle was suddenly pressed to his forehead. Her slender jade finger was on the trigger. She smiled, Sect Head Jun, is it used like this?

Jun Changxiao said, If you would like to learn, I can teach you.

Shua!

Li Luoqiu put her arm down and spun the Desert Eagle in her hand; her movements were smooth as she played with it. 

Jun Changxiao said, Tomorrow, I will announce to everyone the establishment of Drizzle Hall. I hope that you can resolve the problems on your side today.

Li Luoqiu was appreciatively playing with the Desert Eagle. Just a few words will do.

Jun Changxiao did not speak more and turned around to leave. He did not lock the door again, as that was no longer needed. 

Li Luoqiu carefully sized up the Desert Eagle. She then tried to pull the trigger, but she only heard a kaka sound and no beam of light. 

Jun Changxiaos voice echoed, Without this lord teaching you, you cannot use it.

I dont believe it.

Li Luoqius temper flared a bit, trying to figure out how to shoot the Desert Eagle, which hadnt even been loaded with a bullet. 

[What was the hosts poison made of?] the system asked, no longer able to bear it. 

Jun Changxiao said, Some hogwash from the scrap bucket, combined with some hot pepper and garlic bits." 

System: [Ruthless.]

The next day. 

After the morning exercise, Jun Changxiao announced to everyone that the sect would immediately establish Drizzle Hall, with Li Luoqiu as the hall master. 

Regarding this matter, the disciples definitely had no opinion. 

Black One and Black Two were a little overwhelmed. 

The pavilion master, who had just been detained, was persuaded so quickly her mental resistance was even worse than theirs. 

But could two bowls of rice compare with the Desert Eagle?

Jun Changxiao not only awarded Li Luoqiu with the status of hall master, he also transformed a relatively spacious side building in the outer courtyard into the Drizzle Hall, hanging a signboard up. 

Henceforth, the Ironbone Sect had its first hall: Drizzle Hall. 

Li Luoqiu lived up to her words; with just a few words, the assassins did not have any complaints and willingly followed their boss to become Drizzle Hall members. 

Even Mountain Cat, who was missing a hand now, was willing. 

The primary reason they could be so relaxed was because they were stranded within the Ironbone Sect and their boss had been imprisoned. If they didnt become one of the Ironbone Unyielding, wasnt that just courting death?

You may ask, since he established Drizzle Hall, why didnt Jun Changxiao also open the elders council?

Because there were no suitable candidates. 

Although Li Luoqiu was strong and had management capabilities, she was an assassin in the end. 

Li Qingyang and the others did not have high enough cultivations and were also very young, unfitting of being a sect elder. 

With the hall established, the next step was going through the basic formalities. 

[Ding! Ding!]

He stamped the entrance form of each and every assassin, the sect members and contribution points rising as the notifications echoed in Jun Changxiaos ears. 

In the end, including Li Luoqiu, there was a total of 77 new members. 

The systems panel read:

[Sect Members: 230/500

Sect Contribution: 225/500]

Jun Changxiao thought, As long as I recruit as many as I can, the contribution points will basically fill up. At that time, I can spend the points freely. 

Sect Head, what did you call me for?

Li Luoqiu walked into the main hall. She removed the Jun, obviously because when in Rome, do as the Romans. 

Jun Changxiao said, How many times did you send people to assassinate this lord?

This Li Luoqiu said, I was in closed-door cultivation at that time, Scorpion was the one responsible for sending people on the assassination mission.

Scorpion? Call him over, Jun Changxiao said. 

Li Luoqiu added, You have already killed him.

Jun Changxiao said, The other two trump-card assassins should know, right?

Venomous Snake knows, as he would have participated in delegating the issued missions.

Li Luoqiu then called for Venomous Snake. After the assassin pondered for a moment, he said, Reporting to Sect Head, Scorpion issued three missions.

When, how many people?

Venomous Snake stated the time and people. 

The first time, before the sects martial contest, three people had been sent. The second time there was only one person, after the martial contest had ended. The third time there were three people, who all died under the Type 88 sniper rifle. 

No more?

No more.

Jun Changxiao knit his brows. 

If he did not count the group of assassins outside Liyang City, there had been five attempts on his life just inside the sect. 

The two latest ones: one assassin was killed by Xiao Zuiji in the sentry tower, while the fifth assassin was offed with three shots to the chest. 

If Venomous Snake was speaking the truth, the last two attempts were not by Drizzle Pavilion. 

Right, right. 

The last few assassins did not have a Ghost Steps manual inside their storage rings, meaning they werent Drizzle Pavilion members. 

Thinking about how that group of assassins outside Liyang City were similarly poorly dressed, Jun Changxiao wondered if they were one group.

If they were, then that was good. But if they were not, then three different groups had tried to assassinate him. That meant that although Li Luoqiu and her subordinates had surrendered, he was unable to rule out the possibility of another assassination attempt. 

Jun Changxiao rubbed his temples. Hall Master Li, do you know if Qingyang Commandery has an assassin organization?

If he did not find the two other groups, Jun Changxiao would definitely sleep on pins and needles. 

Li Luoqiu answered, As far as I know, Qingyang Commandery does not have an assassin organization.

But, she paused. The aristocratic families in various cities will secretly train assassins or deathsworn. Some familys high levels have also once come to my Drizzle Pavilion to buy the method of training assassins.

Which family? Jun Changxiao asked. 

Li Luoqiu listed out, For example, theres the Zhengyang He Family, Qingyang Wang Family, Liyangs Bei and Xiao Families, Shouyang

Pause!

Jun Changxiao interrupted, Did you just say Liyang Citys Xiao Family?

Correct.

Li Luoqiu added, The Xiao Familys great elder bought it. He thought he wouldnt be easily recognized, but I immediately saw through his disguise.
