Nie Yan only needed to be vigilant to avoid being assassinated by Ying Sha. Having comprehended the skills, awareness, and other aspects of Shadow Dance, he had made significant progress. Combined with his excellent equipment, when it came to assassination, he was definitely second to none.

Nie Yan remained indifferent to Ying Sha's provocation.

As for the bounty for killing Nie Yan, it was as high as 3,900 gold coins. He smiled calmly, not expecting himself to be so valuable. This was more than twice the amount for Ban Xing De Hu Li and the others, which indirectly proved his status in the eyes of the players. With Ying Sha's assassination attempt having failed, this 3,900 gold coin bounty would likely be increased.

Looking at the development of the Assassin Alliance, after this period of frantic expansion, the Assassin Alliance's membership had exceeded 20,000. Almost all of the well-known professional players were registered on it, even including professional players from other cities. The gathering of a large number of top professional players attracted countless customers from all factions, who posted various tasks with rewards ranging from a few gold coins to tens of thousands of gold coins. The abundance of tasks also stimulated a group of professional players to constantly improve their Assassin Alliance titles.

The entire Assassin Alliance currently had one Marquis, three Earls, more than 1,200 Viscounts, and more than 7,000 Barons. So many people were creating massive amounts of gold coins for Nie Yan and the others every day.

As these players recognized the Assassin Alliance, the Assassin Alliance's income increased geometrically. Yesterday, the total revenue was only five or six thousand gold coins, but today it had exceeded ten thousand. A huge money-making machine had taken shape and was exerting its enormous power.

The daily income of ten thousand gold coins, when divided among each shareholder, was also considerable.

In addition to the Assassin Alliance, some players also used their backgrounds to create organizations similar to the Assassin Alliance, but most of them did not develop well. Some organizations even embezzled the transaction money of professional players, which cast a shadow over those organizations. Professional players had basically formed a consensus that, apart from the Assassin Alliance, most professional player alliances were untrustworthy. The Assassin Alliance occupied about 98% of the entire market share, and none of the remaining organizations had become significant. Even if an organization emerged, it was suppressed by Ban Xing De Hu Li and Fa Lan, and had no chance to develop.

Of course, there were also accidents in the development of the Assassin Alliance. Some people falsely accused the Assassin Alliance of embezzling transaction money and tried to smear it, but Ban Xing De Hu Li exposed them. The main system had records of every transaction, and the group of people immediately became silent.

The Assassin Alliance had experienced several incidents, and its development to the present could be described as extremely difficult.

Looking at the top group of people in the Assassin Alliance, there were some very familiar names, professional players who were quite famous in his previous life. Nie Yan sent each of them an invitation to the Ni Ren Tribe. They could go to the Ni Ren Tribe with the invitation letter sent by Nie Yan. As long as they entered the Ni Ren Tribe, they would receive the most favorable treatment. If even just one or two of these people joined the Ni Ren Tribe, it would be a gain for the Ni Ren Tribe.

In fact, many people were very excited to receive the invitation letters sent by Nie Yan. Many of them were not yet well-known, and some were slightly famous, but they were not on the same level as Nie Yan at all. Nie Yan personally sending them invitation letters carried a lot of weight. It was Nie Yan's recognition of them!

Nie Yan could only wait and see how many of these people would join the Ni Ren Tribe.

Scanning the task posting column, there were fifty or sixty thousand task information of various sizes, allowing professional players to filter according to their conditions. When the Assassin Alliance was first developed, there were only two or three tasks per day, but now there were fifty or sixty thousand tasks per day. This was a huge leap.

Nie Yan entered several tasks on the task bar. The first task was to kill Shi Xue Kuang Dao, the Guild Leader of the Zhan Dao Shi Xue Guild, with a reward of 2,300 gold coins. The second task was to assassinate Po Tian, with a reward of 1,200 gold coins. The third task was to assassinate Sheng Guang Hui, the Guild Leader of the Sheng Shou Hu Guild, with a reward of 2,100 gold coins.

The rewards for assassinating these people would naturally not be higher than his, otherwise, wouldn't he be admitting that Shi Xue Kuang Dao and Sheng Guang Hui were more valuable than him?

After Nie Yan managed the Assassin Alliance, he exited the channel. He didn't know if anyone would take these three tasks, he would check later.

At this moment, Nie Yan suddenly received an explosive message from Ban Xing De Hu Li. He was secretly meeting with Ye Po Shen Gun, the Guild Leader of Guang Ming Sheng Yan. The relationship between Guang Ming Sheng Yan and Kai Xuan Empire was not very pleasant either, and Ye Po Shen Gun intended to reach a reconciliation with the Ni Ren Tribe alliance.

Ye Po Shen Gun was unwilling to be controlled by the people from Zhan Dao Shi Xue, Sheng Shou Hu, and the Mage Alliance. Moreover, the Ni Ren Tribe had the final say in Carol City. Several of the fortresses of Guang Ming Sheng Yan were under the threat of the Ni Ren Tribe. If he could make peace with the Ni Ren Tribe, he would naturally be willing. However, as the leader of Guang Ming Sheng Yan, he naturally had to put on an act, at least the Ni Ren Tribe had to give him certain promises before he would consider it.

After listening to Ban Xing De Hu Li's account, Nie Yan came back to his senses. Some of his previous thoughts were completely wrong! In his previous life, both Guang Ming Sheng Yan and Kai Xuan Empire were acquired by Cao Xu, and they became Cao Xu's lackeys. Nie Yan subconsciously listed Guang Ming Sheng Yan and Kai Xuan Empire as mortal enemies. But in this life, because of the emergence of the Ni Ren Tribe, Cao Xu was forced to give up the acquisition of Guang Ming Sheng Yan and Kai Xuan Empire. Po Tian and Cao Xu were partners in reality, and their relationship was not easy to shake. But what was the relationship between Ye Po Shen Gun of Guang Ming Sheng Yan and Cao Xu?

In this life, Ye Po Shen Gun had nothing to do with Cao Xu, neither any connection in terms of interests nor any personal relationship.

If he could win over Guang Ming Sheng Yan, the entire Carol City would only have Kai Xuan Empire struggling to support itself. How could Kai Xuan Empire survive? It was probably not far from disbanding. From then on, the Ni Ren Tribe would dominate Carol City, and the plan of Zhan Dao Shi Xue, the Mage Alliance, and Sheng Shou Hu to kidnap Guang Ming Sheng Yan and Kai Xuan Empire as pawns to deal with the Ni Ren Tribe would fail!

"At all costs, we must win over Guang Ming Sheng Yan, give them enough sincerity. Let them put forward their conditions, as long as they are within a reasonable range, agree to all of them, we must win over Guang Ming Sheng Yan!" Nie Yan replied to Ban Xing De Hu Li.

Guang Ming Sheng Yan would definitely put on airs and would not defect so easily. Since this was the case, whatever conditions they proposed, just agree to them. The impact of Guang Ming Sheng Yan defecting on the entire situation would be very important.

"Hu Li, pull Fa Lan over as well, I have something to say," Nie Yan said to Ban Xing De Hu Li. He had some inspiration.

Currently, the Ni Ren Tribe could be regarded as second to none in the entire Carol City. The Sheng Luo Ma Empire and the Jia Lan Temple had to rely on the Ni Ren Tribe in many things, and the players under them largely followed the lead of the Ni Ren Tribe. The Ni Ren Tribe had infiltrated them. They understood that it was not advisable to fall out with the Ni Ren Tribe, but if this continued, the Sheng Luo Ma Empire and the Jia Lan Temple would definitely be swallowed by the Ni Ren Tribe. Therefore, they rejected the Ni Ren Tribe in some things. The relationship between the two sides was extremely complicated.

Before being invested by Long Yue Financial Group, the status of the Ni Ren Tribe was already very solid. The development after the investment was even more enviable.

Nie Yan also understood these principles.

"Okay," Ban Xing De Hu Li said. After a while, Fa Lan also came up.

"Next, I want to talk to you about cooperation. Previously, Long Yue Financial Group bought a portion of the Ni Ren Tribe's shares with gold coins and a large amount of capital injection. You must also know about this. For a guild, having investment can lead to better development. Previously, the person in charge of Long Yue Financial Group had talked to me. They are willing to invest in your guilds and let me be the representative to invest in your guilds. I don't know what your psychological price is," Nie Yan said. He planned to use the name of Long Yue Financial Group to acquire the Sheng Luo Ma Empire and the Jia Lan Temple, replacing them with his own, so that he could control the Sheng Luo Ma Empire and the Jia Lan Temple.

As for why he borrowed the name of Long Yue Financial Group, it was to avoid the antipathy of Ban Xing De Hu Li and Fa Lan, after all, there were some private conflicts between the two sides.

He currently had an income of about seven or eight thousand gold coins per day from the auction house, Xing Kong Pharmacy, Assassin Alliance, commercial real estate, etc. The previous income, accumulated, had reached a huge five or six thousand gold, and he could freely transfer three or four thousand gold coins from the Ni Ren Tribe. With the addition of future daily income, it was more than enough to acquire the Sheng Luo Ma Empire and the Jia Lan Temple.

Ban Xing De Hu Li and Fa Lan pondered for a moment.

"What are the requirements over there?" Fa Lan asked. Indeed, as a guild, without the investment of a powerful financial group, life was very difficult. Like the Jia Lan Temple, the daily income was about two thousand gold coins, but the guild's expenses were very large. It also cost money to build fortresses, not to mention equipping guild members with horses. The gap between it and the Ni Ren Tribe, which was invested by Long Yue Financial Group, was getting bigger and bigger. It was impossible to say that they were not anxious at all.

"Long Yue Financial Group requires that they control about 35% of the shares, registered under the name of their person in charge, and I will invest to control about 25% of the shares. You are still the Guild Leaders of the Sheng Luo Ma Empire and the Jia Lan Temple, and they will not interfere with any of your decisions," Nie Yan said without blushing or panting. How could Ban Xing De Hu Li and Fa Lan not suspect his motives? Asking for 60% of the shares as soon as he opened his mouth was indeed a bit ruthless. However, the usual practice for financial groups to acquire guilds was at least 60% of the shares, just like when Cao Xu acquired the five major guilds in his previous life. Long Yue Financial Group only wanted 30% of the shares when acquiring the Ni Ren Tribe. This was a special case and was relatively rare.

Fa Lan's eyes flashed, and he asked lightly, "Is that 35% of the shares really controlled by Long Yue Financial Group?"
