âLetâs go to Li Caizhuâs house.â Huang Mingfeng quickly read the tasks on his Task Panel.
The tasks had been refreshed. His panel showed three tasks: âClean up the Chen Family Ancestral Hallâ, âLi Caizhuâs Last Willâ, and âSlay the Demon in the Earth God Templeâ.
Huang Mingyu and Huang Mingyu also checked their tasks. They also had the task of âLi Caizhuâs Last Willâ.
The two found it strange. Huang Mingyun said, âBig Brother, why are we going there? These are three-star tasks. We canât complete them.â
âI suspect that the person who hunted down the demons here went to Li Caizhuâs house!â
âIs that even possible?â
âWeâll know it when we go there.â
The three of them headed towards Li Caizhuâs house.
Nobody noticed that after they left, a racooncat jumped down from a distant tree and quickly ran towards the White Water River.
About ten minutes later, the racooncat came to a huge rock by the White Water River. To its surprise, the rock moved and carried it into the river.
Under the White Water River.
Nobody would have imagined that there was a massive underwater palace here.
Interestingly, this palace was built on a large ship that floated quietly underwater.
As soon as the racooncat stepped into the ship, it shouted, âItâs terrible! Little Nineâs family has been wiped out by the Outsider.â
âLittle Kitty, whatâs all the fuss about?â
A lazy voice sounded out, seemingly imbued with an invisible force that pulled the racooncat into the palace in an instant.
Inside the palace.
A youth was leaning against a throne sculpted from jade, holding the racooncat in his hand.
Undeterred by the youth, the cat demon warned again, âLittle Nineâs family was slaughtered by the Outsider. Itâs dreadful; their home was even burned down.â âOh? He dares to kill my people?â Although the youthâs voice was calm, it lacked any anger. It was rather indifferent.
Turn to the palace entrance.
By the entrance stood two burly men covered in scale armor, one on each side.
The youth ordered, âAh Wu, bring the Outsider who dared to offend us. Remember, I want him alive.â
Upon hearing the command, the left man immediately responded, âYes, my Lord!â
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task âClean up the Chen Family Ancestral Hallâ. 5 demon power points have been awarded.]
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task âHunt down and kill a mortal-level demonâ. 5 demon power points have been awarded.]
[Current available demonic power: 25 points.]
After he killed the first mortal-level demon under Zhang Yangâs identity, he switched his role to Wang Nan. This move allowed him to complete a daily task for each of his roles.
âToo bad. To elevate the Waterjet Fish Bloodline from Great Accomplishment to Great Perfection, I need 26 demon power points. Iâm missing just 1 point!â
He glanced at the Personal Information Panel. 16 points of demon power disappeared, boosting the Waterjet Fish Demon Technique from Great Accomplishment to Perfection.
On the Ranking List, Zhang Yangâs ranking did not rise. Only after Su Nan had a look did he realize that, unbeknown to him, Qian Yuâs third Demon Sutra had also reached Perfection.
However, Qian Yuâs third position is only temporary. With another task completed, Su Nan could easily surpass Qian Yu.
âThere are only four days left until the end of the Survival Task. The roles of Wang Nan and Zhang Yang should safely remain in the top five. Now, only Lang Thirteen is left.â
Su Nan pondered in his heart.
Although he did not know what extra rewards would come from the Survival Task, he still hoped that all three of his roles would be in the top five with the principle of âbetter to have too much than too littleâ.
A few minutes later, he arrived at Li Caizhuâs courtyard.
With a flip of his hand, the Beast Bone Dagger was taken out.
Knowing Li Caizhuâs problem, there was no need for him to carry on the act.
He planned to get the first strike even before Li Caizhu could lay a hand on him.
âOnce these are used up, Iâll need to replenish my essence and blood. This is the last chance I have with a single drop of essence blood.â
No matter what Li Caizhuâs last wish was, it would undoubtedly be correct to deal with the false Li Caizhu in front of him now.
Knock, knock, knockâ¦
Su Nan knocked the gate. About ten breaths later, the old servant of Li Mansion opened the door again.
âYoung Master?â Upon seeing Su Nan again, the old servant was startled, not expecting him to return so soon.
âI remembered that there was a suspicious spot in the room where your masterâs concubine disappeared. I want to go back and have another look.â âPlease come in, Young Master!â Upon hearing this, the old servant hastily invited Su Nan into the mansion.
A few minutes later, Li Caizhu led Su Nan back to the bridal chamber and excitedly asked, âYoung Master, have you really found something?â
Su Nanâs face was impassive, but he sneered inwardly. If he hadnât noticed the clues from the task name, he would have been tricked by the old manâs acting skills.
Looking at Li Caizhu again, Su Nan wasnât sure if it was an illusion, but he could see an impatient look on Li Caizhuâs face, as if he were eyeing a deliciously tempting prey.
So he canât wait anymore?
Without wasting any words, Su Nan quickly looked at his Task Panel.
[Youâre back at Li Caizhuâs house and you know that the Li Caizhu in front of you is not the real one.]
[While Li Caizhu is distracted, you strike with your Power of Divine Soul and thrust the Beast Bone Dagger into his back.]
[Under the influence of the Beast Bone Dagger, Li Caizhuâs body shakes, and his skin splits open from top to bottom. Out comes a smooth-skinned, hairless demon.]
[You finally understand that the Li Caizhu you saw was nothing more than a disguise worn by the demon.]
[The raging demon wants to tear you to pieces. You react swiftly, releasing the power of your four bloodlines and clashing with the demon.]
[This is a Spirit-level monster known as a Barbaric Beast. They excel at hollowing out the flesh of their prey and wearing it to continue luring the same kind of prey..]
