Chapter 167 - Sato Qingkong, Lord of the Elements

Lin Xuan heard the black-clothed woman’s words through Poison Blade and was rather surprised.

“Ghost Shadow Legion-Tianyu Cai Operation?

It seemed that not only did they want to find Tianyu Cai, but they also wanted to capture the Ghost Shadow Legion in one go.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan used an Advanced Observer skill on Sato Qingkong.

Seeing this information, Lin Xuan frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Memories flashed in his mind and quickly froze on the leaders of the black-clothed people he encountered in the Hungry Ghost Village.

That’s right!

Although the other party had an extra name and she didn’t have the Curse Set…

However, this person’s information was basically the same as the information he had seen on the leader of the black-clothed people that day!

“Could it be the same person?”

Lin Xuan’s heart surged.

Seeing that he was silent, Sato Qingkong asked calmly, “What are you thinking?”

At this moment, footsteps sounded.

“You’re… Miss Sato?!”

The shocked voice of the Kosaka City Section Chief suddenly sounded.

Poison Blade turned around and saw the section chief of Kosaka City approaching with wide eyes. He bowed humbly to her. “Greetings, Miss Sato!”

Sato Qingkong nodded slightly. “The leader has appointed me to be the new person-in-charge of the operation. I’m currently in charge of the 11 port cities in the south, including Kosaka City, Furuya City, and Inochi City.”

The section chief of Kosaka City was even more humble and bowed even deeper.

“Open the door. I want to go in,” Sato Qingkong said indifferently.

The section chief of Kosaka City hurriedly took out his key and opened the entrance of the Secret Service Division.

“Chief, who is this?” Poison Blade asked in a low voice.

The section chief of Kosaka City exclaimed, “You don’t know? That’s right. You’re from Xia Country…”

“Do you know Master Sato? He’s the second strongest person in the organization after the leader. Sato Qingkong is his daughter! He thinks highly of her!”

Lin Xuan rubbed his temples.

What was going on?

Could it be that the daughter of the number two figure in High Heaven Plains was a member of the Ghost Shadow Group?

If that was the case, this Sato Qingkong was too shrewd.

Yesterday, they were still fighting to the death, but today, she appeared in front of them as if nothing had happened.

Moreover, it was all thanks to his Great Purification Potion that the section chief of Kosaka City and the others were able to survive.

From the perspective of the High Heaven Plains, Mu Qiang was someone who had contributed greatly.

However, from the perspective of the Ghost Shadow Legion, Mu Qiang was someone they wanted dead.

Sato Qingkong stood in front of him, but she did not reveal any ruthlessness on her face.

She was really difficult to see through.

“Or is it just that the information on the interface is a little similar? Is she not the leader of the black-clothed people?”

Lin Xuan pondered deeply.

“Come in, all of you. Don’t stand outside. When my people arrive later, I still have to reward you.”

Sato Qingkong’s hollow and calm voice sounded from inside.

“A reward?”

Poison Blade went in, looking surprised.

At this moment, Sato Qingkong had already sat down on the sofa in the hall of the Secret Service Division. Her long and beautiful legs were crossed like two intertwined black pythons.

The section chief of Kosaka City personally made tea.

Sato Qingkong took a sip of tea and said indifferently, “If not for you taking out the Great Purification Potion and helping the section chief of Kosaka City get rid of his negative statuses, I’m afraid you guys would have been completely wiped out yesterday. With such a huge contribution, even if you were originally from Xia Country, the organization would not treat you badly.”

At this moment, several more people walked in.

The person in the lead was a round-faced girl about 1.6 meters tall. She had a chubby face and heavy black-framed glasses.

Generally speaking, after a martial artist leveled up, even if they did not increase their Constitution, their physical fitness would still slowly improve.

Short-sightedness, rhinitis, and lumbar disc protrusion would naturally disappear as one’s level increased.

However, this young girl was still wearing thick glasses, indicating that she might have learned a skill that consumed a lot of eye power.

Behind the round-faced girl with glasses were two martial artists. They were both burly men.

Poison Blade swept his gaze over. The three of them were all above level three Seventh Realm.

“This is my assistant, Aida Mei. The two behind are martial artists sent by Father to protect me. They’re Sato 99 and Sato 100. Get to know them.”

Aida Mei stretched out her hand shyly and shook hands with the section chief of Kosaka City and Poison Blade.

As usual, Poison Blade used his High-Level Observer skill to observe her.

He was first shocked before he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He did not expect their reunion in the High Heaven Plains to be like this.

This Aida Mei was not Aida Mei at all, but… Lu Luo!

“Li Weiguo’s high-level makeup skills are really impressive. Lu Luo clearly has an oval face and phoenix eyes, but after her makeup, she now has a baby face and round eyes.”

Lin Xuan immediately cursed.

“Mu Qiang, there are many women out there. There’s no need to hold on to my assistant like that, right?” Sato Qingkong frowned slightly.

Only then did Lin Xuan realize that he was still holding Lu Luo’s hand and hurriedly let go.

Aida Mei only smiled shyly and retreated to the side.

Time slowly passed.

Murata and the other martial artists arrived at the Secret Service Division one after another.

Seeing Sato Qingkong and the others, these martial artists were very surprised.

Miss Sato was also here!

“Section Chief Fujiwara, everyone is here, right?” Sato Aoki said indifferently.

“Everyone’s here.”

Sato Qingkong uncrossed her legs and slowly stood up.

“The leader has ordered for me to be appointed as the new person-in-charge of the Ghost Shadow Legion-Tianyu Cai Operation. I’ll be in charge of finding Tianyu Cai and surrounding the Ghost Shadow Legion.”

“In addition, I also brought a commendation token this time. It’s for Mu Qiang.”

Amy hurriedly stepped forward and handed the commendation token to Sato Qingkong.

The expressions of the section chief of Kosaka City, Murata, and the others turned solemn, and their faces revealed joy.

Mu Qiang had played a huge role that day. To exaggerate, if not for that bottle of Great Purification Potion, they would have all died!

They were also happy for Mu Qiang to be rewarded by the higher-ups of the organization.

“…I’ll specially reward Mu Qiang with 3,000 battle merits. He will be allowed to enter Reed Country. In addition, he can choose a golden item.”

After Sato Qingkong finished speaking, she looked around.

At this moment, Poison Blade also stayed true to Mu Qiang’s identity as he immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly. “Thank you for nurturing me! I will definitely work hard for the organization!”

“You can choose to go to Reed Country to train now or continue to stay here,” Sato Qingkong said indifferently. “However, I advise you to stay here for a period of time. With your strength, you will definitely be able to obtain a large number of battle merits after this operation ends. At that time, it will be more stable for you to enter the Reed Country.”

Lin Xuan laughed in his heart.

This leader’s speech was basically an art form.

Wasn’t she basically asking him to stay?

“The operation has not been completed and the revenge for my colleague’s death has not been avenged. How can I leave alone?! Miss Sato, please rest assured. I will stay and fight together!”

Poison Blade spoke loudly and generously.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The section chief of Kosaka City was the first to applaud with tears in his eyes.

Murata and the others immediately followed and applauded.

They couldn’t help but feel that Mu Qiang was a great member of the High Heaven Plains!

Sato Qingkong pressed his hands down, indicating for everyone to quiet down.

“Contact the section chiefs of all the port cities in the south coast. I want them to conduct a city-wide search and register every martial artist.”

“Tianyu Cai is bent on leaving High Heaven Plains. She must be in these port cities at the moment,” she said calmly.

“Yes!”

Everyone nodded heavily.

“Mu Qiang, follow me to the warehouse. You should collect your golden item first.”

Poison Blade followed him to the Secret Service Division warehouse and strolled around.

He had seen the equipment, runes, and items areas but did not see anything suitable for him.

“I didn’t expect your standards to be so high.” The Kosaka City section chief laughed loudly.

As he passed by the skill book area, Lin Xuan suddenly saw a skill book through Poison Blade’s eyes. His eyes lit up.

“This is it!”

Poison Blade picked up the [Frost Demon King] and smiled.

“This… Aren’t you an assassin?” The Kosaka City section chief was surprised.

“Chief, to be honest, I’ve also learned a lot of ice-type skills. With this skill, my lethality will further increase.” Poison Blade immediately made up a story.

The section chief nodded.

Such a situation was quite common and not special.

Many demon beasts had very high one-sided resistance, such as high physical resistance, high fire resistance, and so on.

In this situation, martial artists needed to have multiple types of killing ability.

If he only focused on physical attack power, he would definitely be useless if he encountered demon beasts with high physical resistance like the ghosts of the Little Spirit Mountain.

It was very normal and wise for Mu Qiang to choose to take into account both physical damage and frost damage.

“Frost Demon King! With this, I can synthesize the [Lord of the Elements] skill through the synthesis table! That’s a dark gold skill.”

Lin Xuan entered his consciousness space.

He stretched out his hand, and the three skills on his body, [Demon King of Fury], [Demon King of Mad Lightning], and [Demon King of Malice], transformed into three skill books.

Coupled with this [Frost Demon King], the four skill books entered the synthesis table.

Four different colors enveloped the synthesis table.

More than twenty minutes later, the skill book flowing with dark golden light was freshly produced!

Previously, he had used the Demon King of Fury more often, so Lin Xuan had long upgraded it to level six Seventh Realm.

The other three did not improve much.

The level of the [Lord of the Elements] was level three Seventh Realm. It was the average of the four skills.

“Before synthesis, these had been four skills. I would have needed to spend fourfold the essence to increase all their levels.”

“But now, it has become a single skill/ This directly reduces the consumption of essence by three-quarters. This is too awesome.”

Lin Xuan sighed.

The effect value of [Lord of the Elements] had increased completely. Moreover, compared to the other four skills, there was even a fourth effect.

Perfect!
