Chapter 2196: Mission Complete

The cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and sneered, “Stop lying. If you haven’t found any green gold ore, why would you leave Blue Sky Mountain? I heard that a person in the sect took a mission to find green gold ore. That person is you. I can see that you intend to head back and hand in the task. I advise you to give me green gold ore. Otherwise, I’ll be impolite.”

Upon hearing the cultivator, Zhao Hai frowned, then he said, “Senior Brother, you should also be aware that I have no experience in the Battle Corpse Sect’s missions. There is no green gold ore. I found nothing so I intend to return and rest. I’ll continue looking for ore tomorrow.”

The cultivator sneered, “You really don’t know what’s good for you. Alright. It’s fine if you don’t play along. But don’t blame me if something happens to you once you leave the mountain.”

Hearing the threat, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow. The reason he spoke the way he did wasn’t because he was afraid. Although this person was an Earth Monarch, Zhao Hai didn’t care. However, Zhao Hai had just joined the Battle Corpse Sect. He didn’t want to cause any trouble. Therefore, he spoke with respect. He didn’t expect his polite speech to fail.

Seeing Zhao Hai raising his brow, the cultivator couldn’t help but stare. Then he noticed a gentle smile appearing on Zhao Hai’s face. As he was stunned, Zhao Hai said, “Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? Please advise this junior.”

The cultivator looked around him, then his gaze turned cold. He looked at Zhao Hai and coldly snorted, “Kid, it seems like you’ve plotted well. You know that it’s impossible for me to do anything to you while in the Blue Sky Mountain. You’re betting on that, right? Haha. It’s fine if you don’t head down the mountain for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you need to watch your back.”

Zhao Hai didn’t care about such threats. He looked at the cultivator and sneered, “Why would I stay on the mountain? I’m heading down now. I want to see what happens.” Zhao Hai gave the cultivator a last gaze before continuing down the mountain.

The cultivator stared at Zhao Hai. Then his complexion darkened. He looked at Zhao Hai’s departing figure and coldly snorted, “You’re courting death.” Then he followed behind Zhao Hai.

Two shadows moved one after another. It took quite some time before both exited Blue Sky Mountain. As soon as he arrived on the official road, Zhao Hai stopped and looked at the cultivator who was following him and said, “Senior Brother, we’re both on the same side. There’s no point in fighting over something that doesn’t exist. You should forget it.”

Zhao Hai didn’t want any conflict with the cultivator. He wanted to lurk inside the Battle Corpse Sect for quite some time. He didn’t want to attract any attention.

Moreover, from what Zhao Hai heard about the cultivator’s words, he knew that someone took a green gold ore mission. And then he knew that the one who took the mission was a newcomer. This meant that the cultivator had certain connections in the sect. Dealing with such people was very annoying.

Zhao Hai was also puzzled as to how the cultivator locked in on his location. Zhao Hai’s direction was arbitrary. It was impossible for anyone to know his location. But before the cultivator stopped Zhao Hai, he seems to have tracked Zhao Hai. This caused concern for Zhao Hai. He wanted to know how he was found.

If the cultivator was at the Teleportation Stage, then the reason would be easy. After all, cultivators in the Teleportation Stage were very strong and had rich amounts of spiritual force. It was easy for them to find people.

However, the cultivator that stopped Zhao Hai was only at the Earth Monarch stage. Although his spiritual force was stronger compared to Soul Fusion cultivators, it was impossible for him to lock into Zhao Hai in Blue Sky Mountain. He certainly had other means, like a divergent ability, an inborn formidable spiritual force, or an artifact.

It would be good if it was the first two. If the cultivator used an artifact to track Zhao Hai, this means that the cultivator’s position in the Battle Corpse Sect isn’t ordinary. A tracking artifact could only lock into Zhao Hai’s identity token. Every identity token in the battle corpse sect is unique. Moreover, the information on identity tokens weren’t publicly available. Only someone with a lot of influence in the sect could create an artifact that could lock into another person’s identity token.

If the cultivator did use an artifact to lock into Zhao Hai’s identity token, then it was certain that they have a huge power behind them. It wouldn’t be good for Zhao Hai to offend this person.

All these considerations caused Zhao Hai to be polite to the cultivator. However, Zhao Hai’s politeness became begging in the eyes of the cultivator. Disdain appeared on the cultivator’s face, then he said, “Now you want to beg for mercy? It’s too late. Die!” As he said that, he slapped his leather bag. When the bag opened, a beast-like roar was heard.

Along with the roar, a putrid stench spread to the surroundings. Then a bronze-colored corpse jumped out of the bag.

The corpse was about two meters tall. It seemed to be only made of skin and bones. One couldn’t see even an inch of flesh and blood. The corpse had no hair. Its nails were nearly a foot long and it had two fangs sticking out of its mouth. Its whole body had a bronze-like luster.

The moment the zombie appeared, it immediately pounced towards Zhao Hai. At the same time, the cultivator waved his hand and took two weapons out. The weapons looked like claws. Then the cultivator used the claws to rush towards Zhao Hai.

As soon as his opponent moved, Zhao Hai also reacted. He knew that today’s matter wouldn’t end well. There were no friendships in the underground world. Killing was very normal here, as normal as eating.

Zhao Hai didn’t hold back. He waved his hand and rushed towards his opponent. Zhao Hai’s Heavenly Demon Claws have been upgraded. When Zhao Hai used the technique, his two hands became as black as ink. Each time he swiped his claw, a demonic roar would come out. The sound alone was enough to stop people.

The hook-nosed cultivator didn’t take Zhao Hai seriously. In his opinion, Zhao Hai was a rogue cultivator that just joined the Battle Corpse Sect through a gang. What kind of strength would such a person have? The reason he released his battle corpse was because he wanted to end the battle quickly.

However, once the two began to fight, the cultivator found his mistake. Zhao Hai might only be in the Soul Fusion Stage, but his claws have been practiced to the point of perfection. This mastery made up for his lack of cultivation. Zhao Hai wasn’t any weaker compared to the cultivator.

After exchanging around 50 rounds, victory or defeat was still out of sight. At this time, the two sides suddenly stopped fighting. The two sides were ten steps apart. Both looking at the other with blazing eyes.

The two sides weren’t preparing for a final blow. They didn’t want to fight using such methods. After all, they already attracted a lot of people. If they continued, other people would be able to take advantage of them.

The hook-nosed cultivator looked around him and coldly snorted, “You’re lucky. Don’t let me meet you in the future.” After he said that, he put his battle corpse away and then left.

The cultivator’s actions surprised Zhao Hai. He didn’t expect this person to be so adaptable. He swiftly decided to stop fighting and then promptly left. Zhao Hai was also aware that it wouldn’t be good for both of them to continue fighting. Fortunately, the other party had the same idea. When the hook-nosed cultivator turned around and left, Zhao Hai let out a sigh of relief.

Zhao Hai looked around him. Although he couldn’t see a single person, he could feel around 40 pairs of eyes looking at him. These people were also cultivators from the Battle Corpse Sect. Zhao Hai coldly snorted and then continued towards the sect.

When Zhao Hai left, the other cultivators began to disperse. Although they didn’t obtain any advantages, they were still able to get information about Zhao Hai’s strength.

There were quite a few people who already knew of Zhao Hai. After all, his performance in the trial was very unique. Through various channels, his entry to the sect spread throughout the sect. As soon as they heard that Zhao Hai hid behind a pillar and didn’t do much, some people expressed their admiration thinking that Zhao Hai was very smart. Naturally, there were more people who showed disdain thinking that Zhao Hai must be weak. They thought that Zhao Hai joined the Battle Corpse Sect using a cheap trick.

Zhao Hai didn’t expect that he would start this many conversations shortly after joining the sect. By this point, his name was known to the majority of the Battle Corpse Sect.

There were cultivators who thought that Zhao Hai was only lucky and not strong. But after Zhao Hai exchanged a few moves against the hook-nosed cultivator, these thoughts were slapped out of their minds. They understood that what Zhao Hai had was not luck, but genuine strength.

Within the Battle Corpse Sect’s territory, private affairs between disciples have always been ignored by the sect. But as a respect to the sect, disciples generally don’t fight in the vicinity of the headquarters. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn’t encounter and attacks along the way. He was able to return to Corpse Mountain safely.

After returning to Corpse Mountain, Zhao Hai immediately returned to the Mission Hall. When he arrived, Zhao Hai saw that the hall was still very busy. There were plenty of people taking missions as well as people handing missions over.

Zhao Hai went to the counter and got in line. The man in front of him looked at Zhao Hai for a moment before ignoring him.

Handing missions was very important, so nobody dared to cause trouble. Because of this, the process went smoothly. Before long, it was Zhao Hai’s turn.

Zhao Hai took his identity token out and then flipped his hand to take out the basketball-sized green gold ore. The cultivator on the counter looked at Zhao Hai’s identity card and scanned it. Then he looked at the green gold ore and his eyes couldn’t help but show a curious light.

People in the mission hall were very familiar with all kinds of missions. Naturally, they knew that Zhao Hai’s mission was a basic one. It was a mission that depended on a person’s luck. If you’re lucky, you might find an ore very quickly. But if your luck is down, you won’t find even a shadow of green gold ore after a year of looking.

This was Zhao Hai’s first mission, which was strange enough. What’s even more strange was that it took him only two days to finish. This was highly unusual.

Although the staff was curious about Zhao Hai, he didn’t slow down at all. He received Zhao Hai’s mission and also deposited a hundred points into Zhao Hai’s identity token.

The hundred points equal to a hundred jade essences. Cultivators in the sect rarely used jade essences to trade with each other. They would only use jade essences when they go out to other places. This made it more convenient to trade with other sect disciples.

Zhao Hai received his identity token and said, “Thank you Senior Brother.” Then he turned around and left. He didn’t take another mission and instead went to his room to rest.

While Zhao Hai was resting in his room, a cultivator appeared in Wei Tiande’s office. The cultivator bowed and said, “Reporting to the Elder, Zhao Ling has returned from Blue Sky Mountain.”

Wei Tiande was holding a jade slip. One could see by how he held the jade slip that Wei Tiande liked it very much. It had a layer of light above it, making the jade slip look beautiful.

As he held the jade slip, Wei Tiande answered, “What’s the result? Did he get bullied by the monkeys in Blue Sky Mountain? It’s fine for him to suffer a little. This way, he won’t take tasks randomly.”

The cultivator smiled bitterly and said, “Replying to the Elder, Zhao Ling has already completed the mission. He has received his reward and is currently resting in his residence.”
