Jun Wuxie’s heart stirred!
Buying First Spirit Pills required a lot of money, and his future Cultivation would need even more money; in short, he desperately needed money now!
However, he knew this task must be extremely difficult, otherwise it wouldn’t have been hanging there for so long.
“Hello.” He thought for a moment, then returned to the registration counter and asked the beautiful young woman, “Are there any conditions for accepting the Flame Python slaying mission? Also, do you have any detailed information about the Flame Python?”
“What did you say?” Qin Keqing couldn’t help but glance at him twice. “Do you know what you’re saying? That’s a five-star mission! Even mercenary groups with several Innate Realm Martial Artists wouldn’t dare to take it!”
“I want to try.”
Jun Wuxie said.
“Do you really need money?” Qin Keqing said very seriously, “This mission has been up for about half a year, and over ten mercenary groups have been wiped out because of it. Furthermore, once you accept the mission, you must complete it within one month, otherwise you will have to pay a penalty of one-tenth of the reward. Do you still want to take it?”
“Is that all? I want to try.”
Jun Wuxie had no other choice; he had to earn a large sum of money in a short time to support the resources needed for his Cultivation.
If he accepted low-star missions, when would he ever earn enough money? There simply wasn’t enough time.
The Genius selection competition was in just over twenty days, and he absolutely could not let Xiao Xu obtain the great river selection token, otherwise neither he nor Yue Yao would have a way to survive.
“You…” Qin Keqing looked at Jun Wuxie as if he were an idiot and said, “According to the information provided by the mercenaries who returned alive, the Flame Python is at least a third-tier Vicious Beast. If you want to go to your death, I won’t stop you.”
Third-tier?
Jun Wuxie’s eye twitched.
A third-tier Vicious Beast, its Realm is equivalent to a Qi Condensation Realm Martial Artist, which is above the Innate Realm, and Vicious Beasts are generally stronger than humans in the same Realm!
The strongest experts in Qingyang City were the Elders of the Four Great Families and the City Lord’s Mansion, and they were only at the half-step Qi Condensation Realm.
“I’ll take it. Please process the registration.”
Qin Keqing sighed upon hearing this and said no more, proceeding with the registration according to the procedure.
“Young people always want to make big money, reaching too high.” A middle-aged man dressed as a steward came over to Qin Keqing, glanced indifferently at Jun Wuxie, and said, “Fool, truly a fool.”
Jun Wuxie’s mouth twitched slightly; he really wanted to slap him.
How could one know another's suffering without experiencing their affairs?
“Heh, his body is fine, but his mind is broken.” The pale-faced youth who had previously planned to pull Jun Wuxie into his mercenary group to exploit his value sneered, “No wonder the Xiao Family chose Xiao Xu instead of you; turns out you’re a good-for-nothing who doesn’t know his place.”
Jun Wuxie was a little angry, thinking, “I’m taking my mission, what does it have to do with you? Is it interesting to be sarcastic here?”
“I heard your guild can accommodate the Family members of those who accept missions, right? I’m leaving my sister with you for now; I’ll come back to pick her up within the mission period.”
“Alright, don’t worry, we will ensure her safety until then.”
Qin Keqing took little Yue Yao from Jun Wuxie’s arms.
“Wuxie Ge Ge.”
“Yue Yao, be good, Ge Ge will be back in a few days.”
Jun Wuxie comforted little Yue Yao for a bit, then turned and left.
“Kid.” The pale-faced youth stopped him and said condescendingly, “Seeing you dressed so shabbily, you must really need money, right? Sell your life to our mercenary group, and we’ll give you money.”
“Scram!”
Jun Wuxie said to the pale-faced youth blocking his way.
“Little bastard, how dare you curse at me?”
The pale-faced youth raised his hand and slapped him.
With a smack.
Jun Wuxie slapped back, striking first and knocking him to the ground with one slap, then stepping on his face.
“You dare touch someone from my Black Iron Mercenary Group, you’re seeking death!”
The bearded big man saw this and charged forward with a punch.
Jun Wuxie raised his hand and threw a punch.
The two fists collided.
Boom!
The big man screamed and flew backward, his entire fist completely shattered, bleeding profusely.
He convulsed in pain, looking at Jun Wuxie in terror, about to say something harsh, but meeting his eyes, all words were swallowed back. Those eyes were too terrifying; even the eyes of the Vicious Beasts he had seen were not as chillingly ruthless as this young man’s.
“Don’t provoke me, my temper is a bit explosive.”
Jun Wuxie kicked the pale-faced youth away, cracking his skull. He screamed and fainted, severely injured on the spot.
That kick was very heavy; even if he didn’t die, he would be an idiot when he woke up.
He walked away, and everyone in the hall watched his receding figure in shock.
The Young Lord of the Xiao Family, who had been paralyzed for half a year, not only recovered but was even stronger than before?
Those two from the Black Iron Mercenary Group were both experts at Innate Realm Third Transformation, yet they were no match for him in a single move!
“He’s only in the Acquired Realm, yet he’s so strong?”
Qin Keqing’s eyes couldn’t help but show a strange look.
“He is indeed somewhat extraordinary, but it’s a pity his Realm is too low.”
A thin, elderly man of about sixty appeared beside Qin Keqing at some unknown point.
...
Xiao Family Reception Hall.
“Xiao Xing, your Xiao Family is going too far!”
Bi Fenglin, Ji Xiang, Jiang Chen, and Wang Cheng all had extremely grim expressions.
“Too far?” Xiao Xing sneered, gripping the armrests of his chair, looking down at the three Clan Chiefs and the City Lord, saying, “Each of your Families must give up one Spiritual Vein and a large industry in the city. There is no room for negotiation!”
“Xiao Xing, you!”
“We came here today with good intentions to offer congratulations, yet your Xiao Family is forcing us like this. Is this your way of treating guests?”
“Enough nonsense.” Xiao Xing scanned the room and said, “My son Xiao Xu is a Genius of heaven-sent talent; upon Breakthrough, he immediately reached Innate Realm Fifth Transformation! If any of you are not convinced, you can choose to go to war!”
“What?”
The expressions of the three Clan Chiefs and the City Lord changed dramatically.
Xiao Xu had actually directly broken through to Innate Realm Fifth Transformation?
A destined envoy with a powerful Bloodline, reaching a Realm like Innate Realm Fifth Transformation, even their Clan Chiefs at the Peak of Innate Realm Tenth Transformation might not be his match.
In a few more days, if Xiao Xu broke through again, even the Elders at the half-step Qi Condensation Realm would not be his match!
They fell silent; going to war was impossible. Could they really kill Xiao Xu?
Leaving aside whether they could kill him, the Genius selection competition was to be held next month. If they killed a Genius who had caused a phenomenon at this time, the Great River Sword Sect would probably blame them.
Within the Great Zhou Kingdom, who could withstand the wrath of the Great River Sword Sect?
That was the true overlord within the Great Zhou Kingdom; even the imperial Family might not dare to go against the Great River Sword Sect!
“Hmm, since none of you are speaking, this Clan Chief will take it as your consent. I will send people tomorrow to handle the handover!”
Xiao Xing was very strong and extremely proud, beaming with satisfaction.
At this moment, a Disciple with a solemn expression rushed in and whispered a few words into Xiao Xing’s ear.
Xiao Xing’s face turned ashen, and he began to dismiss his guests: “Everyone, this Clan Chief has internal matters to attend to. Please leave!”
Everyone left with somber faces, wondering what had happened to the Xiao Family.
Judging by Xiao Xing’s expression, it certainly wasn’t a minor matter.
After everyone left.
“Bastard!” Xiao Xing’s face was livid, and he slammed his hand down on the armrest of his chair, smashing it to pieces. He said coldly, “Jun Wuxie is actually well, and he even did such a rebellious thing!”
“That little bastard, he’s actually well?” The Grand Elder was shocked. How could a paralyzed person suddenly recover?
He regained his composure, his face darkening: “Capture him alive and dismember him alive before the Third Elder’s spirit tablet!”
“Hmph!” The Second Elder, after his initial shock, said chillingly, “He won’t get far with that little slut! Killing a Family Elder, even the Elders have no reason to protect him. We can act first and report later!”
“Elders?”
At this moment, Xiao Xu walked into the hall, his expression arrogant, and said, “Who calls the shots in this Xiao Family now?”
“Xu’er!”
Xiao Xing immediately stood up, and the Elders followed suit.
“It’s good that Jun Wuxie has recovered.” Xiao Xu said indifferently, “Wasn’t he the number one Genius in Qingyang City before? He’ll make a perfect stepping stone for me.”
“Xu’er is right.” Xiao Xing nodded in agreement: “For Xu’er to personally suppress and kill Jun Wuxie can enhance Xu’er’s prestige and extract his final value.”
“Since Jun Wuxie has recovered, he must die!” The Grand Elder’s eyes were malicious: “Otherwise, if Xu’er goes to the Great River Sword Sect in the future, and that little bastard learns the true cause of his father’s death, we will be in a lot of trouble!”
“Grand Elder, don’t worry. However, killing Jun Wuxie will have to wait a few more days; I am currently in a critical period of my Cultivation.” Xiao Xu smiled faintly and said, “Before the Genius selection competition, I should be able to Breakthrough to the Peak of Innate Realm Tenth Transformation!”
“Peak of Innate Realm Tenth Transformation?”
Xiao Xing and the Elders were shocked, looking at him with both excitement and disbelief.
If Xiao Xu truly reached the Peak of Innate Realm Tenth Transformation, with the strength of his destined Spiritual Vein Bloodline, he would absolutely be an invincible existence in Qingyang City!
