Chapter 2196: Mission Complete

When Zhao Hai heard the cultivator, he couldn’t help but stare. He was confused as to how this cultivator knew that he had green gold ore. Seeing the cultivator’s gaze, Zhao Hai quickly understood. The cultivator didn’t know that Zhao Hai has green gold ore. He was just robbing Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai looked at the cultivator and said, “Senior Brother, I don’t have any green gold ore.”

The cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and sneered, “Stop lying. If you haven’t found any green gold ore, why would you leave Blue Sky Mountain? I heard that a person in the sect took a mission to find green gold ore. That person is you. I can see that you intend to head back and hand in the task. I advise you to give me green gold ore. Otherwise, I’ll be impolite.”

Upon hearing the cultivator, Zhao Hai frowned, then he said, “Senior Brother, you should also be aware that I have no experience in the Battle Corpse Sect’s missions. There is no green gold ore. I found nothing so I intend to return and rest. I’ll continue looking for ore tomorrow.”

The cultivator sneered, “You really don’t know what’s good for you. Alright. It’s fine if you don’t play along. But don’t blame me if something happens to you once you leave the mountain.”

Hearing the threat, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow. The reason he spoke the way he did wasn’t because he was afraid. Although this person was an Earth Monarch, Zhao Hai didn’t care. However, Zhao Hai had just joined the Battle Corpse Sect. He didn’t want to cause any trouble. Therefore, he spoke with respect. He didn’t expect his polite speech to fail.

Seeing Zhao Hai raising his brow, the cultivator couldn’t help but stare. Then he noticed a gentle smile appearing on Zhao Hai’s face. As he was stunned, Zhao Hai said, “Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? Please advise this junior.”

The cultivator looked around him, then his gaze turned cold. He looked at Zhao Hai and coldly snorted, “Kid, it seems like you’ve plotted well. You know that it’s impossible for me to do anything to you while in the Blue Sky Mountain. You’re betting on that, right? Haha. It’s fine if you don’t head down the mountain for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you need to watch your back.”Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Zhao Hai didn’t care about such threats. He looked at the cultivator and sneered, “Why would I stay on the mountain? I’m heading down now. I want to see what happens.” Zhao Hai gave the cultivator a last gaze before continuing down the mountain.

The cultivator stared at Zhao Hai. Then his complexion darkened. He looked at Zhao Hai’s departing figure and coldly snorted, “You’re courting death.” Then he followed behind Zhao Hai.

Two shadows moved one after another. It took quite some time before both exited Blue Sky Mountain. As soon as he arrived on the official road, Zhao Hai stopped and looked at the cultivator who was following him and said, “Senior Brother, we’re both on the same side. There’s no point in fighting over something that doesn’t exist. You should forget it.”

Zhao Hai didn’t want any conflict with the cultivator. He wanted to lurk inside the Battle Corpse Sect for quite some time. He didn’t want to attract any attention.

Moreover, from what Zhao Hai heard about the cultivator’s words, he knew that someone took a green gold ore mission. And then he knew that the one who took the mission was a newcomer. This meant that the cultivator had certain connections in the sect. Dealing with such people was very annoying.

Zhao Hai was also puzzled as to how the cultivator locked in on his location. Zhao Hai’s direction was arbitrary. It was impossible for anyone to know his location. But before the cultivator stopped Zhao Hai, he seems to have tracked Zhao Hai. This caused concern for Zhao Hai. He wanted to know how he was found.

If the cultivator was at the Teleportation Stage, then the reason would be easy. After all, cultivators in the Teleportation Stage were very strong and had rich amounts of spiritual force. It was easy for them to find people.

However, the cultivator that stopped Zhao Hai was only at the Earth Monarch stage. Although his spiritual force was stronger compared to Soul Fusion cultivators, it was impossible for him to lock into Zhao Hai in Blue Sky Mountain. He certainly had other means, like a divergent ability, an inborn formidable spiritual force, or an artifact.

It would be good if it was the first two. If the cultivator used an artifact to track Zhao Hai, this means that the cultivator’s position in the Battle Corpse Sect isn’t ordinary. A tracking artifact could only lock into Zhao Hai’s identity token. Every identity token in the battle corpse sect is unique. Moreover, the information on identity tokens weren’t publicly available. Only someone with a lot of influence in the sect could create an artifact that could lock into another person’s identity token.

Zhao Hai didn’t expect that he would start this many conversations shortly after joining the sect. By this point, his name was known to the majority of the Battle Corpse Sect.

There were cultivators who thought that Zhao Hai was only lucky and not strong. But after Zhao Hai exchanged a few moves against the hook-nosed cultivator, these thoughts were slapped out of their minds. They understood that what Zhao Hai had was not luck, but genuine strength.

Within the Battle Corpse Sect’s territory, private affairs between disciples have always been ignored by the sect. But as a respect to the sect, disciples generally don’t fight in the vicinity of the headquarters. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn’t encounter and attacks along the way. He was able to return to Corpse Mountain safely.

After returning to Corpse Mountain, Zhao Hai immediately returned to the Mission Hall. When he arrived, Zhao Hai saw that the hall was still very busy. There were plenty of people taking missions as well as people handing missions over.

Zhao Hai went to the counter and got in line. The man in front of him looked at Zhao Hai for a moment before ignoring him.

Handing missions was very important, so nobody dared to cause trouble. Because of this, the process went smoothly. Before long, it was Zhao Hai’s turn.

Zhao Hai took his identity token out and then flipped his hand to take out the basketball-sized green gold ore. The cultivator on the counter looked at Zhao Hai’s identity card and scanned it. Then he looked at the green gold ore and his eyes couldn’t help but show a curious light.

People in the mission hall were very familiar with all kinds of missions. Naturally, they knew that Zhao Hai’s mission was a basic one. It was a mission that depended on a person’s luck. If you’re lucky, you might find an ore very quickly. But if your luck is down, you won’t find even a shadow of green gold ore after a year of looking.

This was Zhao Hai’s first mission, which was strange enough. What’s even more strange was that it took him only two days to finish. This was highly unusual.

Although the staff was curious about Zhao Hai, he didn’t slow down at all. He received Zhao Hai’s mission and also deposited a hundred points into Zhao Hai’s identity token.

The hundred points equal to a hundred jade essences. Cultivators in the sect rarely used jade essences to trade with each other. They would only use jade essences when they go out to other places. This made it more convenient to trade with other sect disciples.

Zhao Hai received his identity token and said, “Thank you Senior Brother.” Then he turned around and left. He didn’t take another mission and instead went to his room to rest.

While Zhao Hai was resting in his room, a cultivator appeared in Wei Tiande’s office. The cultivator bowed and said, “Reporting to the Elder, Zhao Ling has returned from Blue Sky Mountain.”

Wei Tiande was holding a jade slip. One could see by how he held the jade slip that Wei Tiande liked it very much. It had a layer of light above it, making the jade slip look beautiful.

As he held the jade slip, Wei Tiande answered, “What’s the result? Did he get bullied by the monkeys in Blue Sky Mountain? It’s fine for him to suffer a little. This way, he won’t take tasks randomly.”

The cultivator smiled bitterly and said, “Replying to the Elder, Zhao Ling has already completed the mission. He has received his reward and is currently resting in his residence.”
