Shi Lang did not leave the Asura hall right away. He told Yang Niao to have a few disciples go down to the valley and converse with the ghost cultivators to see if they could reach a collaboration. This will be progressive for them. He also made an array plate that would trigger the mental demons faced by all the cultivators in the group.
This allowed them to temper their minds and achieve a better spiritual ground. If the disciples were to reach a level where they could not continue, the array would stop and send them out. At the same time, he assigned a task to the array of master disciples in the Asura hall to develop an artifact that could be used to communicate even from a great distance.
The task was tough, but when Shi Lang gave them the groundwork of his communicator, the array masters decided to develop something similar. This sort of artifact will help them improve communication and give them a chance to earn money. Shi Lang had told them to keep the first version safe and sell the device to the outside world if they could improve the design and develop a second version.
After all the major issues were settled, Shi Lang left the Asura Hall with the old man, the Seventh Elder. He held the old man from his collar and dragged him through the skies. It took him three days to reach the Tiexian City. The guards at the door were surprised when they found Shi Lang dragging an old man.
The guard stepped forward and asked, “Sir, who is this person, and why are you dragging him.”
Shi Lang did not mind and said, “This guy is a colluder and is responsible for many deaths. I am here to turn him into the head hunter organization.”
The guard was surprised and was about to say something when Shi Lang said, “This matter is a secret, but if you do not trust me, you can tag along with me to the head hunter organization, and they will verify his identity.”
The guard was surprised and shook his head like a rattle. He replied, “Sir, please go ahead. The city guards do not have the right to interfere in Head Hunter Business.”
Shi Lang nodded and calmly walked away, holding the old man from his collar. He walked through the city, and his gaze fell on the cloud pavilion building on the way. The terran calmed his heart and decided to come here later. Lie Hu has been sent back to the Inheritance palace after that guy acted all frightened inside the valley.
The terran walked inside the Head Hunter building and looked at the same desolate reception hall before he came to the counter and tossed the old man on the floor. He said, “Sister, I am here to hand in my test task.”
The lady raised her head and was surprised to find a young man. She regained her composure and stood up from the chair. She looked over the counter and found an old man. Shi Lang took out the task scroll and passed it to her. After reading the scroll, she asked, “How did you confirm his identity?”
Shi Lang took out an image stone and handed it to her. This stone was embedded in the array he had erected to entrap the old man. Since the old man evaded the array, Shi Lang still used the stone to record the battle.
The lady took the stone and said, “Wait here. I will bring it to the elder to assess.”
Shi Lang nodded and sat down in the chair. The seventh elder had been asleep all this time. Shi Lang had sealed his spiritual points to keep him like this so that he does not make any ruckus. However, the terran was aware that such long periods of sleep can be deterimental for mental health and thus he awakened the old man when he was locked in the Asura hall.
After ten minutes, and old man walked down from the stairs on the side followed by the reception lady. Shi Lang stood up and greeted the old man, “Greetings, Senior.”
The old man stroked his beard and nodded. He said, “I am Yu Xian. The iron-grade elder of the Head Hunter Organization.” 𝒐𝒱𝓛xt.𝔠𝑂𝑚
Shi Lang introduced himself and the old man nodded. He said, “Ace, you have done a good job of dealing with this guy. You have our gratitude.”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I just did what an honest person should do. Please do not push my on a pedestal. I still have a long way to go.”
The old man nodded with approval in his gaze. He said, “Follow me, I will explain to you the structure of the Head Hunting organization.”
Shi Lang nodded and followed the old man up the stairs. The terran turned to gazed at the old man laying on the floor. Yu Xian said, “Do not worry, Xiao Lin is good enough to deal with this guy.”
Shi Lang nodded and followed him upstairs. The reception lady mumbled, “Hmmm, this seal is quite exquisitely done. This guy does have some skill.”
…
Yu Xian said, “You can call me Old Yu.”
Shi Lang nodded as he watched the old man open a door. They entered the room and Shi Lang was surprised. This room did not seem to be in the same space as he was earlier. He has been using his sensory abilities for quite a long time now and he could tell whether he was in the same space or not.
The map in his mind has completely changed. The shocked was visible on his face. Old Yu raised his brows and said, “To think you can sense the oddity in this place.”
Shi Lang nodded and the old man continued, “This is the small space where the real Head Hunters reside.”
That said the old man opened the door one more time and Shi Lang found himself gazing at a vast grassland with a palace in the center. He took a deep breath and asked, “What is going on?”
