Jiang Zuo sat on his bed, his face dark. If it were possible to kill soone through the internet, he would have already charged through his phone and finished that person off.
The guy had dared to disturb his sleep and had even ended up cursing him out.
He’d literally been cursed awake.
Jiang Zuo yawned, then checked the ti. It was only a little past three. ’The afternoon isn’t even over yet.’
Just then, his phone chid again. Soone in the group chat had probably @ntioned him.
He pulled out his phone and saw it was Blade Master Hai Bian who had tagged him: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, the Holy Land is issuing commissions to help attack the Blood Demons. I was wondering if you might be interested?"
Liu Yiyi chid in as well: "I heard you can get up close and personal with the Saintess. It’s a great opportunity."
Jiang Zuo thought for a mont. Attacking the Blood Demons didn’t conflict with his plans.
Besides, he was already planning to go there early. ’But get close to the Saintess?’
If the Saintess were Jiu Xi, Jiang Zuo might have been sowhat interested. But since it was Jingyue, he had no interest whatsoever.
Jiang Zuo then replied: "When? What are the rewards?"
Blade Master Hai Bian: "It’s in about five days. As for the rewards, they say Spirit Stones are given out based on the number and level of the Blood Demons. Tier One gets a First-Grade stone, Tier Two a Fourth-Grade, Tier Three a Fifth-Grade, Tier Four a Sixth-Grade, and Tier Five an Eighth-Grade."
Jiang Zuo was astonished. The rewards were generous. A single Tier Five was worth an Eighth-Grade. If he could kill just one, he wouldn’t be short on Spirit Stones for his upgrades for a while.
Too bad he couldn’t kill one.
Po Xiao: "The whole corpse, or just the head?"
Seeing this ssage, Blade Master Hai Bian broke out in a cold sweat: "Fellow Daoist, you could actually consider capturing them alive. The reward is supposedly doubled. But if it’s a corpse, the head is enough."
’Capture them alive?’
’If I had a place to keep them, it might be worth considering.’
Chen Yi spoke up just then: "Boss, we’re taking on commissions too. We can cooperate when the ti cos."
Po Xiao: "You? What good would you be? And aren’t you from the Perception Departnt? Is it really appropriate for you to be taking commissions all the ti?"
Xiao Xiaomo explained: "The Perception Departnt works on a rotating shift system. When we’re not on duty, we’re free to do whatever we want. Besides, our perception abilities are quite strong.
Our Cultivation may be low, but we specialize in perception. With the three of us working together, there’s nothing below Tier Three that we can’t sense. We even have a decent chance of detecting a Tier Three.
I looked into it. The last Blood Demon was a Tier Three, so we can definitely find Tier Two Blood Demons using Concealnt."
Then, Jiang Zuo sent a reply that left Xiao Xiaomo completely speechless: "Not a single Blood Demon can successfully use Concealnt in my presence."
Xiao Xiaomo and the others had nothing more to say.
Jiang Zuo continued: "The Blood Demon Base Camp is in a special location. Conventional communications don’t work there. It’s doubtful you could even receive your own perception feeds.
Also, the Blood Demons aren’t the main objective. There’s sothing special inside.
I wouldn’t advise going if your Cultivation is too low."
Liuyue Xue sent a shocked emoji: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, have you been inside before?"
Po Xiao: "Just by accident."
Now everyone was stunned. They had just been talking about soone getting inside, and it turned out that person was right here among them.
Xiao Xiaomo and the others were truly at a loss for words. It seed the base camp was really no place for them. They’d be better off helping with perception from the periter.
After that, Jiang Zuo said no more. The Holy Land would make its move in five days. He needed to get inside in three or four.
With such a big operation underway, the likelihood of Su Qi going in was even higher.
And the Blood Demons claid they could cripple the Holy Land in just half a month.
Jiang Zuo knew just how powerful the Holy Land was. In his past life, the Holy Land hadn’t even had the right to beg for survival at his hands.
But that didn’t an the Holy Land was weak; it only ant he was far too strong.
A power capable of crippling the Holy Land, even if only a tenth of it was complete, was not sothing the people of this era could stand against.
He didn’t care if others lived or died, but Jiang Zuo did not want Su Qi to die in this battle.
Besides, going in early would also allow him to explore the palace in peace. Once the battle started, who knew what might happen?
A special space ford by the grand montum of heaven and earth... it could be said to be safe, but it could also be said to be more dangerous than anything else.
It wasn’t like an Array; Jiang Zuo wouldn’t be able to find the correct way to escape so easily.
Stretching, Jiang Zuo got up.
He would drop by the Market Departnt Two to accept the commission and see if there was anything else to do.
As for Sweet Potato, Jiang Zuo saw it was having fun playing in its pool. He tossed two apples to it and paid it no further mind.
A short while later, Jiang Zuo arrived at the base of the Tianhe Group building.
What surprised him, however, was that he saw two people here.
Liu Qianqian and Steward Liu.
At that mont, they also spotted Jiang Zuo. Liu Qianqian, naturally, was the first to run over.
"Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, we et again," Liu Qianqian said with a smile.
Jiang Zuo glanced at her without a word and walked straight past.
He left the two of them standing there, utterly flustered.
They had never t anyone like him.
Liu Qianqian quickly followed after him. "Fellow Daoist, we have sothing to discuss with you."
Jiang Zuo didn’t slow his pace. "Not interested."
Liu Qianqian tried again, "It’s like this. We have a joint project with the Holy Land and were hoping you would join. Rest assured, we won’t short you a single cent."
Jiang Zuo’s expression grew cold. ’Cooperate with the Holy Land?’
He could figure it out with his eyes closed—the subject of their cooperation was, without a doubt, the entrance.
It wasn’t just that cooperating with the Holy Land was impossible for him; even if it were possible, he loathed the idea of working with these people.
People who set so many traps even for a basic reward would never earn a shred of goodwill from Jiang Zuo.
Besides, this so-called cooperation just ant he would be the one doing all the work, didn’t it?
Jiang Zuo gave no response and simply continued on his way.
At that mont, Steward Liu, who was behind them, moved to block Jiang Zuo’s path. He said grimly, "Aren’t you taking this too far?"
Jiang Zuo ignored him, walking right past him and into the package pickup lobby. There was no one else there for the mont.
This was the limit of Steward Liu’s patience. Jiang Zuo only had a 1.3 Cultivation. Their visit this ti was rely a courtesy before resorting to force.
Whether Jiang Zuo agreed or not, he was going to be taken away.
So, here in this empty place, Steward Liu attacked Jiang Zuo without the slightest hesitation.
He had put up with Jiang Zuo for a long ti. This ti, no one could stop him, not even Liu Qianqian.
This was an order from their family.
They had to bring this person back.
Seeing Steward Liu charge at him, Jiang Zuo felt not a single ripple in his heart. He even felt a little like laughing.
"Three days left. Just enough ti," Jiang Zuo murmured.
By now, Steward Liu was right in front of Jiang Zuo, just a step away from grabbing him. His hands were imbued with a unique capturing Magic, guaranteeing that Jiang Zuo would not escape.
At such a distance, no Tier One cultivator could possibly dodge.
One could say Jiang Zuo’s fate was sealed.
A flash of delight crossed Steward Liu’s mind. ’I’m going to teach this brat a lesson.’
But in that sa instant of delight, he froze. He found he couldn’t move. A flicker of panic crossed his mind, and in that mont, he saw Jiang Zuo move.
Amid his panic, he felt a trace of surprise.
When he saw a knife appear in Jiang Zuo’s hand, about to strike him, that surprise turned to terror.
