Very strange!
The lower oneâs level, the better?
What kind of quest was this?
How tiny would the quest reward be then?
To be honestâ¦
Luo Tian didnât want to accept such a quest. He didnât have time to waste and had to get to Sky Mountain as soon as possible. The earlier he can find an entrance to the Sky Palace Divine raceâs location, the earlier he could hatch the dragon egg, and the earlier he could enter the ancient battlefield to level up.
Therefore, he didnât want to waste any more time.
âSheesh.â
âCan I ask what kind of mission it is first?â Luo Tian asked while being pulled away by the elderly person.
The elderly person grinned and replied: âThe mission is very simple. Donât worry; itâs just a normal escort mission. Itâs going to be very simple.â
The elderly person kept emphasizing the words âvery simple.â
The evil-looking youth followed next to the elderly person. It was very obvious he didnât care what the mission was and only wanted one thing â the money reward!
Moreoverâ¦
He agreed so readily because the elderly person paid the money upfront!
At this timeâ¦
A large group of people came over in a menacing fashion.
The one in lead was a good looking youth. The youth had a cold sneer and his expression showed off his arrogance. He glanced at a man next to him and gave him a signal with his eye.
The man stepped forward. He clenched his hands and mustered up his powerful energy. He then shouted: âEveryone scram for me! If you dare continue recruiting people, this daddy will slaughter all of you!â
The surrounding instantly became quiet.
The elderly personâs expression drastically changed. He lowered his head and didnât dare to look up.
âOpening Heaven Manorâs Third Young Master!â
âAn expert at the peak of the profound Venerate realm!â
âYour news source is too outdated. Just yesterday, he received a medicinal pill from the Imperial God Immortal Sect and broke through to the Profound Saint realm. Since Heaven Opening Manor is cooperating with those large immortal sects, they must have received quite a bit of benefit.â
âRainbow Lotus⦠who doesnât want it?â
The man furrowed his brows before he continued saying: âI will give you all a chance. Join the team of our Third Young Master and we will give you a generous reward in return.â
Someone in the crowd asked: âThe Heaven Opening Manor has a lot of elite experts, right? What do you need us for?â
âHumph~!â
âWho just spoke such bullshit?â
The manâs figure moved and instantly killed that guy who spoke with a palm strike. He instantly shifted back to his original position and asked viciously: âWho else has any questions?â
No one spoke!
Not a sound could be heard.
The man coldly scoffed and said: âGood, very good. Now everyone come back to Heaven Opening Manor with me!â
Suddenlyâ¦
The eyes of the Third Young Master wearing a full suit of golden armor suddenly turned cold. The whip in his hand flicked out with a crisp âsnapâ sound, directly landing on the elderly person next to Luo Tian. The elderly personâs body shook, and his flesh immediately opened up into a deep wound.
The youth, Ji Ao chuckled a few times before mocking: âOh? Arenât you Sunset Cityâs Steward Qin?â
The elderly personâs face was covered in blood.
Ji Aoâs attack was rather fierce.
The crowd backed away. Qin Sanâs expression turned gloomy while his eyes contained a trace of killing intent. He glared at Ji Ao and grunted: âJi Aoâ¦!â
âPak~!â
Another whip lashed over, causing the other side of the elderly personâs face to open up a flesh wound. Blood gushed out like crazy! Ji Ao then said arrogantly: âIs my name something a cheap thing like you can say out loud?â
Incomparably vicious!
Qin San was an old guy in his sixties.
Those two whip lashes made him barely able to stand. His body was shaking and his face pale white. He was feeling so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat. But even if this was the case, he didnât cry out and only glared at Ji Ao.
Ji Ao coldly chuckled and said: âHead Steward Qin, are you here to recruit some bodyguards?â
âLet me take a look!â
âLet me see what kind of cultivation realms the bodyguards youâve recruited have.â Ji Aoâs gaze landed on the evil-looking youth and started laughing. âHahaha⦠hahaha⦠Profound Master realm, what a powerful cultivation level!â
âHead Steward Qin, your eyesight is too powerful. You actually recruited an expert at the Profound Master rank! You must be planning on killing lots of people!â
The evil-looking youth didnât move.
There was no change in his gaze as if Ji Ao wasnât mocking him right now.
The elderly personâs gaze tightened a bit.
Ji Aoâs gaze landed on Luo Tian. âPuff~ Hahaha⦠hahaha⦠crippled dantian! Head Steward Qin, I really canât see through you! Itâs fine if you find a trashy Profound Master ranker, yet you managed to also find a residual waste with a crippled dantian. No matter what, you are the Head Steward from Sunset City. Itâs not possible that you canât even afford the money to find some decent bodyguards, right? If you donât have any money, you shouldâve come looking for me. No matter what, I am still considered a son-in-law of your Sunset City.â
âJi Ao!â
âDonât push your luck!â Qin San finally got angry.
Ji Aoâs expression turned vicious while the whip in his hand flicked out. He then coldly shouted: âI like pushing my luck so what can you do about it? Old bastard, this daddy thinks you must be tired of living. Sunset City has already been destroyed yet you still act like youâre still the Head Steward? Youâre nothing but a damn undying old bastard!â
While saying thisâ¦
The whip made a loud âpakâ sound.
This time, the strength behind it was much stronger.
It contained a trace of power from the Profound Saint realm.
âDie for me!â
This was intent to murder!
At this instantâ¦
Luo Tian was already angry. Just when he was about to make a move, the evil-looking youth already acted first. He blocked in front of the elderly person and said: âBoss, if I save your life, can you increase the reward by another silver ingot?â
Qin San was stunned and said: âQuickly move away! Donât lose your life because of me!â
âBoth of you leave!â
Qin San glanced at Luo Tian when he shouted this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He knew he was going to die. The moment he was found out by Ji Ao, he knew he wouldnât be able to live for long.
âPak~!â
The whip landed.
The strange thing was the whip didnât land on Qin Sanâs body.
Accurately speakingâ¦
The whip didnât technically land because the evil-looking youth grabbed it from behind his back!
âWaaa!â
âWoa~⦠wow~â¦â
There was an uproar in the surrounding area.
The speed, the technique, and the strength were too powerful.
Even Luo Tian was startled by this. He then said to himself: âWhat a fast speed.â
The evil-looking youthâs power wasnât that strong, but his speed was shockingly quick!
Ji Aoâs expression changed as he coldly shouted: âYou damn dog thing! Youâre courting death!â
His figure moved.
The Profound Saint powers inside him exploded forth as his right hand viciously pulled back!
The evil-looking youth immediately let go.
He turned around and revealed an evil looking cold smile. With that smile, his expression became even more evil looking.
Ji Ao didnât lose his center of balance due to the youth suddenly letting go of the whip. He wasnât in the Profound Saint realm for nothing. The whip turned illusory in the air and snapped down with powers capable of ripping through the void. Ji Ao viciously shouted: âLet me see how youâre going to block this!â
At the same timeâ¦
The guards beside Ji Ao shouted: âCapture those rebels from Sunset City!â
The guards started scattering.
Eventually, they surrounded Luo Tian, Qin San, and the evil-looking youth.
The distinct killing intent slowly permeated the area.
Qin San looked up and said viciously: âJi Ao, your death wonât be a peaceful one!â
Ji Ao coldly chuckled and said: âOld bastard, Iâll give you a chance at living. Tell me the entrance to the Sky Palace Divine race and this young master will spare your life!â
âThe location of the Sky Palace Divine race?!â
