"An escort mission to the Bitter Cold Domain? And the reward is negotiable?" The elder behind the counter showed a flicker of surprise upon hearing this.
His gaze was sharp, able to discern at a glance that Xiao Ye’s strength was far from simple, which accounted for the change in his attitude.
Most who ca here for missions typically chose to go to the more bustling Great Domains; this was the first ti he saw soone requesting a mission to the Bitter Cold Domain.
Judging by Xiao Ye’s appearance, he seed to be a disciple from a Major Sect, out on a training expedition.
"Young Hero, please wait a mont, I’ll look it up for you right now." Thinking this, the elder treated Xiao Ye with even more respect, flipping through the book in front of him after speaking.
Xiao Ye quietly waited, his gaze occasionally sweeping around, sizing up the environnt of the Frostwind Comrce, when he suddenly froze.
He noticed that while other areas of the Frostwind Comrce were bustling, this area alone was deserted, with only himself present.
Moreover, the Martial Artists standing afar occasionally pointed at him, seemingly discussing sothing, then hurriedly walked away.
"There must be sothing wrong here!" A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes.
Yet, in order to utilize the Flying King Device to shorten the journey to the Bitter Cold Domain, he had to temporarily endure, after all, he could not just snatch the Flying King Device.
Frostwind Comrce’s ability to establish itself in Central State and dominate the economy of a city must surely be backed by powerful individuals.
After around the ti it took for an incense stick to burn, the elder finally raised his head and closed the book in his hand, saying, "Young Hero, thank you for your patience."
"Young Hero is fortunate, we do have an escort mission here that involves transporting supplies to the Bitter Cold Domain, and this mission has been posted for two months already."
"But because it requires gathering four Martial Artists at the King Martial Realm before it can comnce, and the location being the Bitter Cold Domain, we have only managed to gather three King Martial Realm Martial Artists up till today. If Young Hero’s cultivation has reached the King Martial Realm, it would be just right," the elder said with a smile.
Xiao Ye nodded, his face frad by suddenly stirring black hair, a Fire Attribute King Realm suddenly rising behind him, its exuded flas of Heavenly Fire dramatically raising the temperature around.
A powerful suppression of King Martial surged from Xiao Ye, drawing a barrage of astonished glances.
"Indeed!"
"Level 4 King Martial cultivation!"
Watching Xiao Ye start to retract his intimidating aura, the elder’s eyes brightened.
Xiao Ye looked far too young, possessing such cultivation was definitely not what an Independent Practitioner could achieve, which solidified his guess that Xiao Ye was a disciple from a Major Sect even further.
"Now, may I accept this mission?" Xiao Ye asked indifferently.
"Of course." The elder grinned and nodded, then his expression turned solemn.
"But there is one thing I must inform the Young Hero beforehand."
"Oh? What is it?" Xiao Ye asked with slight surprise.
"Young Hero, you must know that competition and conflict are normal in the world of Martial Artists, and this rule applies to our world of rchants as well," the elder slowly said.
"Our Frostwind Comrce has taken control of the economic lifeline of this city, naturally attracting countless envious gazes."
"Just half a year ago, another comrce nad ’Heaven and Earth Comrce’ dispatched experts to continuously ambush our escort teams, causing our comrce to suffer heavy losses, and many Independent Practitioners who took up missions died."
"As a result, our comrce’s reputation has been severely damaged, and up to now, no Independent Practitioners dare to take escort missions here, as you may have noticed," the elderly man said helplessly.
"I see!" Enlightennt dawned upon Xiao Ye.
No wonder he saw no Martial Artists taking up missions at this counter, and saw people pointing him out; it turns out there was a reason.
The elder willing to divulge this information actually made Xiao Ye feel sowhat positive about him.
"Young Hero, now that you are aware of the risks associated with this mission, are you still willing to accept it?" the elder stared at Xiao Ye and said.
He didn’t voluntarily choose to reveal this information, but he saw that Xiao Ye must be a disciple from a Major Sect out on training, wanting to avoid future troubles, he was rely clarifying the dangers beforehand.
"I will take on this mission," Xiao Ye said gravely.
Not to ntion whether the mission was dangerous, as for now, using Frostwind Comrce’s mission to quickly reach the Bitter Cold Domain was the most convenient option, so he certainly wouldn’t pass it up.
Should he encounter any dangers along the way, the treasure given to him by the Holy Palace Master that was in his Space Ring, and Little White in his bosom, could both help him overco crises, so overall, he was not fearful.
For a comrce like this, the highest level Martial Artist they could send would just be at the King Martial Realm.
Seeing Xiao Ye’s composed deanor, the elder laughed, a flicker of hard-to-detect excitent in his eyes: "Young Hero indeed has extraordinary courage, good, I’ll start the procedures for you right away!"
After saying this, the elder called over so staff mbers and began processing the handover procedure with Xiao Ye, discussing the rewards, and also handed Xiao Ye a comrce token.
"Young Hero, that will be all for today. Our comrce has decided to depart in three days; the Young Hero should simply co to our comrce on the morning three days later," the elder said with a grin as he personally escorted Xiao Ye to the door.
"Thank you very much." Xiao Ye bowed with a smile and turned to leave.
Having resolved the challenge of traveling to the Bitter Cold Domain, Xiao Ye felt much more relaxed, and planned to continue his cultivation in seclusion for these three days.
"Elder Fang, do you think highly of this young man? Even believe him to be the key figure to complete this mission? And even had you personally receive him?"
After Xiao Ye left, a ghostly, enigmatic voice suddenly resonated beside the elder, yet no figure was visible, like a specter.
Hearing this voice, the elder’s expression suddenly faded, becoming extrely serious, filled with the aura of an Upper Position individual.
"This young man’s cultivation appears to be at Level 4 of the King Martial Realm, but I feel that his actual strength is definitely not as simple as it appears."
"This mission is extraordinary, related to Barbarian Valley; those Barbarians will not consider our various reasons, so we absolutely must not fail. With this young man joining, at least it greatly increases our chances of success, go prepare," the elder spoke with a solemn face.
"This ti, we absolutely cannot let those damned individuals succeed." The elder’s voice was heavy.
"Yes, Elder Fang, I will go and prepare now," the ethereal voice echoed again, then gradually dissipated.
