The Cultivator World Dark Web
Qi Shan was a middle-aged man, around forty years old. He wore a loose, dark gray robe, his face stern, his eyes sharp, and his brows conveying a sense of aloofness and arrogance.
However, he had the capital for his pride.
In the cultivator world, it was not common for someone of his age to reach the late stage of Martial Warrior, with even hopes of impacting the Martial Master realm.
If not for being assigned the mission in a moment of crisis, he would have been extremely reluctant to leave his residence and give up the excellent opportunity to break through to the Martial Master realm, only to come to this small city of Le City.
Compared to his dissatisfaction, Wang Shan was overjoyed after receiving him.
With such a cultivator sent by the Zhao family, his confidence in dealing with Han Lang became even more substantial.
Taking the opportunity to welcome him, Wang Shan, holding his wine glass with a grinning face, said to Qi Shan.
"Welcome, welcome! Mr. Qi Shan. With you here from now on, Mr. Zhao's plan in Le City will be even more smooth sailing and easily accomplished! Haha… Come, I'll toast you!"
Qi Shan cast a cold glance at the wine glass before him but made no move. His tone was filled with laziness and disdain.
"Enough, Wang Shan. I'm here purely for the mission assigned by Mr. Zhao. You, just tell me what you need directly. So I can finish the task early and report back!"
Wang Shan was taken aback.
Qi Shan's blatant disregard for him made him feel a bit displeased.
However, he also knew Qi Shan's strength.
For someone of this caliber, it was better for a mere mortal like him not to fall out with him.
So, he could only respond obsequiously, continuing with a smiling face.
"It's like this, Mr. Qi Shan! I believe Mr. Zhao has mentioned it to you. A new influential family has recently risen in Le City, targeting me everywhere and seriously affecting my execution of Mr. Zhao's plan. Moreover, their identity, like yours, is also that of a cultivator. As a mere mortal, I am truly no match for them!"
"Oh! What is their strength?"
Wang Shan replied, "Currently, I only know that the leading cultivator is at the Foundation Establishment stage. As for whether there are others, I am not aware. Furthermore, Mr. Liu Jian, who was at the mid-stage of Martial Warrior, met his end at his hands!"
Qi Shan's brow furrowed, his expression displeased. "What Foundation Establishment stage?"
Wang Shan understood and quickly replied, "Early stage, early Foundation Establishment?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Shan's brow instantly relaxed, and his expression turned to disdain.
"Hmph! A mere Foundation Establishment stage dares to be so arrogant? Isn't that a bit too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth?"
Wang Shan flattered, "Yes, yes! Compared to you, he is indeed not worth mentioning. However, Mr. Qi Shan, shouldn't we still be a little careful? After all…"
Before Wang Shan could finish speaking, he heard Qi Shan impatiently tap the table with his wine cup.
"It seems, Mr. Wang, you understand the strength of cultivators better than I do! Otherwise, why would you dare to instruct me on how to do things?"
Wang Shan's heart jumped, and he quickly replied.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! It's just that, if we don't have absolute certainty, shouldn't we…"
"Hmph!" Qi Shan scoffed, continuing contemptuously, "Does Mr. Wang know how vast the gap is between a late-stage Martial Warrior and an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator? Do you know that cultivators two stages apart can crush each other at will? If I don't have absolute confidence against such an opponent, what's the difference between my late-stage Martial Warrior cultivation and being made of paper?"
Wang Shan was rendered speechless by these words.
He was merely offering a friendly reminder, was there any need for this arrogant and self-willed Qi Shan to be so stubborn?
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a high-level cultivator sent by the Zhao family to assist him, he truly wouldn't want to bother with him at this moment.
But at this moment, what could he do?
So, he could only respond with helpless flattery.
"Yes, yes. Mr. Qi Shan is right. As a mortal, I truly don't know as much about matters of the cultivator world as you do. However, I have one more humble request, may I ask Mr. Qi Shan for a favor?"
Qi Shan was immensely pleased at this moment, saying from his high perch.
"Speak! What is it?"
Wang Shan spoke slowly, "It's like this, the Tian family, another influential family in Le City, I originally wanted to persuade them to join me in strangling the Han family in its cradle while they were still unstable. But unexpectedly, they were unappreciative and refused to cooperate. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Qi Shan to take action and teach them a lesson. As long as I can obtain the Tian family's assets, annexing the Han family will be a piece of cake. Then, by defeating the Cao and Tang families one by one, it will naturally be within easy reach."
Wang Shan spoke with full confidence, but to his surprise, Qi Shan suddenly erupted after listening.
"What did you say? Me, a dignified late-stage Martial Warrior cultivator, you want me to lower myself to help you deal with ordinary business families? Let alone the fact that this would attract the attention of the Special Investigation Bureau, even if it didn't, how could I maintain my standing in the cultivator world after doing such a thing? No! Absolutely not!"
Qi Shan's stern refusal startled Wang Shan.
"But... but... if we don't do this, my overt competition with the Han family will fall into a disadvantage. Then, Mr. Zhao's plan, who knows when it will be completed. And if Mr. Zhao gets angry, I won't be able to bear it!"
Upon hearing Wang Shan mention the Zhao family, Qi Shan's enraged mind instantly cleared. After a moment's thought, he finally said to Wang Shan in a more amiable tone.
"Is it not possible for me to directly eliminate the cultivators of the Han family for you?"
Wang Shan shook his head. "Even if you directly eliminate the Han family, it cannot guarantee that my Wang family can dominate Le City. Only by merging the assets of the Tian family and the Han family can I compete with the Tang family openly. Ultimately, I can thoroughly help Mr. Zhao control Le City!"
"Is that so..."
Qi Shan fell into thought.
After a while, he seemed to remember something and said with pleasant surprise.
"How about this! It's absolutely impossible for me to take action."
"Cultivators like us who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage either join the national special forces to continue their cultivation; or, like me, join certain immortal cultivation families and become their guest elders;"
"Therefore, many rogue cultivators who lack resources and abilities can only purchase cultivation resources through some special channels to strive for breakthroughs to Foundation Establishment!"
"For this purpose, they have organized a dark web, operating outside the Special Investigation Bureau, specifically undertaking assassination missions to earn a large amount of money!"
"Moreover, this dark web has no real-name information, so even if you are suspected by the Special Investigation Bureau in the end, they won't be able to trace it back to you."
"So, instead of letting me use my talents for trivial matters and risking being hunted by the Special Investigation Bureau to help you deal with an ordinary person, it would be much better to spend some money, find someone on that platform to help you get this done!"
Wang Shan was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Really? That's great! Mr. Qi Shan, could you please guide me through the operation process of that cultivator world dark web?"
Qi Shan did not hesitate and immediately sent Wang Shan a website address, saying.
"Go in and see for yourself! It's very simple. Also, find an opportunity to send me the information on those people in the Han family. I'm a bit tired today, I'm going to rest. If there's nothing important, remember not to disturb me!"
Wang Shan nodded repeatedly.
"Alright! No problem. As long as you take care of the Han family's cultivators, and I handle the Tian family, everything will be fine. Haha..."
