Chapter 2175: Ghost Child Gang’s Investigation
Before long, the Space scanned the entire hall and discovered a few new faces. All of them just appeared that day.
Although Zhao Hai was suspicious of these people, he didn’t do anything. He stood in front of the mission board, seemingly not paying attention to the situation around him.
Zhao Hai chose his mission and then went to the counter and said, “I’ll take mission 713.”
The person opposite the counter looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “It’s you. How many missions are you planning to take? There’s no need to do so many. You should allocate time for cultivation.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Although cultivation is important, what I need right now is combat experience. I’m planning to take a couple of missions today.”
The staff member laughed and then handed the mission to Zhao Hai. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “You can put your name on the token. As long as you’ve done over a hundred missions, you can write your name on the mission token. This way, you might get noticed by the Ghost Child Gang. Do you want to write your name?”
Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled faintly and said, “Good. Write it down. My name is Zhao Ling.”
As soon as he heard this, the staff member smiled, “Zhao Ling, that’s a good name. But it sounds like a girl’s name.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I changed to this name later on to remember someone. In any case, I came here to restart my life. Is my name fine?”
As soon as the staff member heard Zhao Hai, he couldn’t help but reveal an understanding look. He nodded and said, “Good, I’ll write it down.” After that, he wrote ‘Zhao Ling’ into the token.
Zhao Hai received his mission token with a smile. Then he turned around to leave the Mission Hall. Although his actions didn’t seem different, he was paying attention to every action made by the people he marked.
Zhao Hai quickly discovered that immediately after he left the Mission Hall, several cultivators left and followed him from a distance. If his instinct wasn’t triggered, he wouldn’t have noticed. It was clear that these people were masters of stalking.
Zhao Hai didn’t mind these people. This was because he discovered that people in the shops were pointing in Zhao Hai’s direction when asked. This could only mean that these people were powerful people in the city. And who were the most powerful people in the city? There was no need to ask, it was naturally the Ghost Child Gang. In other words, the people following him were from the Ghost Child Gang.
If other people tracked him, Zhao Hai might be worried. However, it was the Ghost Child Gang. Zhao Hai’s performance has brought the attention of the gang. Even the staff member asked for his name. Instead of being worried, Zhao Hai was happy.
Before long, Zhao Hai arrived outside the city. He immediately released his undead horse and then rushed towards his mission.
The people from the Ghost Child Gang who were tailing Zhao Hai were dumbfounded when they saw Zhao Hai release his undead horse. Although the underground world was filled with ghosts and undead, the majority of cultivators use ghosts or undead as battle resources. Nobody would use undead horses for travel.
Zhao Hai using an undead horse for travel was completely unnatural. At this time, a thin ghost cultivator said, “I’ll go catch up to him, someone go back and report.”
The Ghost Child Gang cultivator couldn’t help but stare blankly at Zhao Hai’s disappearing figure. He was completely speechless. The man eating Single-Horned Tiger with blood red eyes was dealt with only with a couple of moves. Wasn’t this too quick? Was that kid too strong?
In the Ghost Child Gang cultivator’s mind, he was panicking. The gang needs to recruit Zhao Hai as soon as possible. If they let a genius like Zhao Hai run off, the ancestors of the Ghost Child Gang would beat them in their sleep.
Thinking of this, the person immediately moved and hurried back to Ghost Child City. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai was also observing this person. Although the person was hidden very well, it was impossible for him to escape Zhao Hai’s Space. Zhao Hai deliberately showed strength when he killed the Single-Horned Tiger. He believed that once the Ghost Child Gang saw his strength, the gang would immediately make a move.
At the same time, Zhao Hai found that he couldn’t underestimate the underground world. Take the ghost cultivator from the Ghost Child Gang for example. Zhao Hai’s undead horse wasn’t slow, yet the ghost cultivator was able to keep up. He was even faster than the horse. While Zhao Hai was still 5 kilometers away from Ghost Child City, the ghost cultivator had already returned.
Zhao Hai wasn’t worried about this. When he was a kilometer away from the city, he jumped down from the horse and walked the rest of the way.
Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at the Mission Hall and handed the mission over. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hai received a piece of armor as a reward. In the True Spirit Realm, armor-type artifacts were rare. The armor awarded to him by the Ghost Child Gang was naturally a good thing. Zhao Hai just didn’t expect the gang to be willing to part with such a good item.
However, after thinking about it, Zhao Hai calmed down. The skin of the Single-Horned Tiger, even without anything else, can make a few armors. To the Ghost Child Gang, giving a piece of armor as a reward wasn’t a loss.
After receiving the armor, Zhao Hai immediately put it on his body. Then he went to the mission board and looked for another mission. This time, when Zhao Hai was out to do his mission, he found out that the number of people following him had increased from one to five. They also came prepared and brought flying beasts so they could monitor Zhao Hai from above. No matter where Zhao Hai goes for his mission, he wouldn’t be able to hide from their eyes.
Zhao Hai didn’t mind it. In any case, he was doing a mission on behalf of the gang. He wasn’t doing anything suspicious.
By the end of the day, Zhao Hai was able to finish four missions. Each mission wasn’t easy at all. After completing the missions, Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard. There were also people from the Ghost Child Gang eyeing the courtyard.
While Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard, Zhong Busan looked at the people inside his office and said, “You all saw this Zhao Hai Ling complete four missions. Moreover, each mission isn’t easy. And you are certain that he did the missions on his own?”
The thin cultivator replied, “Gang Master, I personally followed Zhao Ling. I saw him complete his first mission with my own eyes. Nobody helped him. Although he’s only at the Soul Fusion Stage, he has a special claw technique that could produce a huge burst of strength. When he used his claw technique, he might be able to contend against Earth Monarchs. And with how sharp the claws are, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to stop it at all. This must be the reason why he could complete tasks successfully.”
Zhong Busan’s eyes turned bright, he looked at the thin cultivator and smiled faintly, “ Good. Shadow, you did well. You said his claw technique could enhance his strength, if that is the case, do you think he can give it to the gang?”
Shadow shook his head and said, “Gang Leader, the claw technique might improve one’s combat strength, but it does so by overdrawing the user’s spiritual qi. With Zhao Ling’s current strength, it’s useless to use it three to four times a day. Even before he used it for the fourth time, he took a pill. It can be said that this technique is no different from other techniques that could hurt the soul. Zhao Ling’s true power is his flying sword, it’s a mysterious thin sword.”
Zhong Busan couldn’t help but stare when he heard this. Then he waved his hand in disappointment and said, “So that’s the case. Then do you think it’s worth it for us to take Zhao Ling into the gang?”
Shadow replied, “I think we should take him in. If found that although Zhao Ling is only at the Soul Fusion Stage, he shows a lot of experience when fighting the enemy. I’m sure that he has fought a lot. Zhao Ling is definitely a genius. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached his current ability.”
Zhong Busan nodded, “I see. If that is the case, then let’s recruit him. I believe that he will be a huge help to the Ghost Child Gang. If he displays enough talent, we can recommend him to the Battle Corpse Sect.”
