Chapter 1305: a.s.sa.s.sination Mission

“Really? Come on, let’s go quickly!”

Jiang Yi’s body shook. This was the best news he had gotten since he had reached the Higher Domain. He could not wait to immediately fly to wherever Jiang Xiaonu was. He Wei brought Jiang Yi as the duo quickly ran towards the Demon-Killing Pavilion and into a corridor inside it.

This corridor led to an extremely huge side hall; there were nearly a hundred rooms inside that side hall, each of them lavishly decorated. Probably only high-ranking members of the Demon-Killing Pavilion could stay here.

He Wei walked towards the fifth room and knocked. An imposing elder walked out as he glanced at Jiang Yi, nodded, and said, “Come in.”

“Greetings to Lord He.”

Jiang Yi followed in and bowed deeply, paying his deepest respects. He Wei also stood to one side seriously, not daring to fool around. Commander He also wore the same Demon-Killing Pavilion black battle armor. However, besides the blood-red wolf head insignia, there were also two intersecting sword motifs on his armor. This was the unique symbol of a Demon-Killing Battle King that represented power, status, and incredible might.

Commander He threw a doc.u.ment on the table as he said, “The person has been found. She is in the Blue Lion City; it is quite far from here. Lad, based on your current strength and rank, it is impossible for you to take on any high-level missions. It is impossible for you to head to Blue Lion City. You should take your time to cultivate and take on as many missions as possible. Once you reach the Demon-Killing Battle General rank, you would be qualified to take on tasks that bring you to Blue Lion City. As of this moment… you can’t.”

“This?”

Jiang Yi’s burning heart seemed to have had cold water poured on it. His gaze turned to He Wei, who explained, “If you are not a Demon-Killing Battle General, you can only receive tasks that bring you to places nearby of the Divine Eagle City; you cannot take any missions that require you to leave the region that the Divine Eagle City is in. If you are not a.s.signed a mission, you would not be able to ride on a Divine Boat. If you walk, it would take you at least half a month; half a month of the Higher Domain’s time! Of course… you can also choose to take a commercial Divine Boat. However, that would require a thousand divine roots.”

Jiang Yi revealed a bitter and agonizing smile. He picked up the doc.u.ment on the table and looked at it for a while. He then gave Commander He another deep bow as he respectfully said, “Many thanks, my Lord. I will forever remember your generosity. I will take my leave first.”

Commander He gestured as He Wei brought Jiang Yi out. He Wei then reentered the room, looked at Commander He, and said, “Father, why don’t you help him? You can bring him to Blue Lion City; he is my friend.”

“Hmph!”

Commander He snorted and said, “Although this lad is pretty gifted, there are too many gifted people in the Earth Emanations Domain; how many talented men die every day? If he can be promoted to Demon-Killing Battle General within a month, I will nurture him and bring him to the Blue Lion City. If he cannot, do not come and bother me with such trivial matters next time. I am not Buddha; I am not so kind-hearted.”

“Yes!”

He Wei respectfully cupped his hands and left. He told Jiang Yi—who had returned to his pavilion—everything his father had said. Jiang Yi was holding on to Jiang Xiaonu’s very detailed file. Jiang Xiaonu had joined the Earth Emanations Pavilion and had become an official disciple. She was also a very famous beauty in the Blue Lion City with many young people wooing her. Hence, once the mission had been sent out, the Demon-Killing Pavilion disciples in the Blue Lion City had immediately received the mission and sent her information over.

“To become a Demon-Killing Battle General within a month?”

Jiang Yi was regretting his previous decision now. If he knew this earlier, he would have exchanged the two Chaos Beast Cores for battle merits and immediately be promoted to a Demon-Killing Battle General. However, after thinking things through again, he realized that He Wei’s father must be trying to test his real battle strength. If Jiang Yi was promoted to a Demon-Killing Battle General using Chaos Beasts, He Wei’s father would probably require something else from Jiang Yi.

“I will go and take on missions!”

Jiang Yi shouted suddenly. He could not sit still anymore as he bade goodbye to He Wei and headed towards the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s Mission Office. He needed ten thousand battle merits to become a Demon-Killing Battle General. Jiang Yi was prepared to take on as many missions as possible to be promoted to a Demon-Killing Battle General as soon as possible.

After entering the Mission Office, Jiang Yi realized that Sister Mei was actually not in the Battle Merits Pavilion, but she had come to the Mission Office. It seemed as if the Demon-Killing Pavilion ran on alternating s.h.i.+fts. Also, a group of people inside were receiving missions at the moment. Sister Mei smiled very flirtatiously and was behaving rather loosely.

Seeing Jiang Yi enter, Sister Mei beckoned and said, “Alright, all are to scram. Stop taking advantage of me. If not, I will not give you guys any good missions next time.”

The four or five men inside were all normal Demon-Killing Pavilion disciples. However, they did not look that young anymore. Seeing Jiang Yi walk in, one of the middle-aged men smiled and said, “Once Sister Mei sees a handsome young man, she ignores us; how heartbreaking.”

“That’s right. The other day, she had even called me her little sweetheart. Now that she has a new lover, she is ignoring me already? Sister Mei, you are not reliable…” A greasy-haired youth actually started to flirt with Sister Mei. Sister Mei’s eyes flashed coldly as she said, “It seems you guys do not want to be given any good missions, then?”

Seeing that they had angered Sister Mei, the group did not dare to make any more noise and left obediently. Jiang Yi pretended he did not witness that scene as he cupped his hands and said, “Sister Mei, I am here to take on a mission. I want a solo mission; the more battle merits, the better. If it is near the Divine Eagle Tribe, that would be the best.”

Giggle!

Sister Mei walked in her silver leather shoes over the Jiang Yi. She was wearing silver armor today that revealed her snow-white waist. Her dainty hand rested gently on Jiang Yi’s shoulder as she caressed and said, “Little brother Jiang, you have many requirements, don’t you? The kind of mission you desire is not easy to come by. However, I do wish to help you. It all depends on whether you are sensible or not.”

“En?”

Jiang Yi’s heart grew cold while he did not reveal any expression on his face; he was getting slightly disgusted by this Sister Mei. Her intentions were clear: if Jiang Yi bedded her, she would give him the best missions. If Jiang Yi did not oblige, he would probably get the most dangerous and exhausting missions with few battle merits.

He would rather die than be humiliated!

Jiang Yi’s pride got the better of him. He looked at Sister Mei coldly and said in an icy voice, “Sister Mei, I call you ‘sister’ because I respect you. I am not some vagabond. If you wish me to continue to respect you, please act like a proper sister to me.”

Jiang Yi’s words appeared to be very tactful, but they were actually very hurting. He was insinuating that Sister Mei was behaving loosely, that she was selling herself. Sister Mei’s eyes also became cold as she withdrew her hand from Jiang Yi’s shoulder. Her eyes stared at Jiang Yi for a few moments. She then smiled and said, “I love men with a backbone. Jiang Yi, you desire for a good mission; I have one! A thousand battle merits to a.s.sa.s.sinate one person. Furthermore, this person is within a Black Market Castle near the Divine Eagle Tribe. I’m just not sure if you have the b.a.l.l.s to accept this task.”

Jiang Yi’s eyebrows rose. A thousand battle merits was not a small reward. He did not act rashly but asked coldly, “Explain the details of the mission to me.”

Sister Mei swayed her bottom as she walked towards the wall of the side hall, retrieved a scroll, and tossed it at Jiang Yi, saying, “This has all the details.”

Jiang Yi received it and quickly scanned it; his expression changed immediately. The mission had been ordered by someone in the Divine Eagle City. The a.s.sa.s.sination target is reportedly a spy for the Netherworld Realm. The spy’s strength was unknown; of course, he was not as strong as a Demon-Killing Battle General. If not, this mission would not have been tasked to disciples like Jiang Yi. At present, this person was in a secret Black Market Castle fifty thousand kilometers north of the Divine Eagle Tribe. There was also a detailed drawing in the scroll.

“Spy?”

Jiang Yi’s mouth revealed his mocking smile. Since it was a mission sent from inside the Divine Eagle City—if this person was really a Netherworld Realm spy, the Earth Emanations Army would have long headed out to kill him. This person must have offended someone important in the Divine Eagle City, and so an order had been made to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.

There were no restrictions on the number of people that could take on this mission. However, missions like this would normally require a few men or even a dozen-odd men; who knew if the target had underlings or friends?

Jiang Yi sighed for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, “Alright, I will take on this mission.”

“The deadline for this mission is a day. You need to bring his head; if not, the mission would be considered a failure. Fifty battle merits would be taken from you.”

Sister Mei waved her hand as Jiang Yi hurriedly turned and left. Sister Mei watched as Jiang Yi left and then revealed a sliver of coldness, saying, “What an ignorant person; you dare to insinuate that I am being cheap? Go and die, then. Hmph, the a.s.sa.s.sination target this time is that playboy disciple from the Luo Clan, right? Jiang Yi, even if you kill him, you would still end up dead!”
