Monarch Of Time

Chapter 204 - 204 Target

(Authorʼs note: There was a problem with , so the chapter that was uploaded yesterday wasnʼt complete, and a few details were missing in the end. The name of the fruit that the C-rank mission requires is the ʼMeridian-heating fruitʼ, and the reward for each mission is also added in the chapter.ʼʼ

After taking a look at the 2 missions that he had selected, Shun Long walked to the mission counter and officially registered himself as the team captain, before he and Liu Mei accepted the 2 group missions.

The young man at the mission counter looked at Shun Long with a weird look in his eyes.

Group missions were usually taken on by experienced groups of 3-5 mercenaries. So taking a mission with just 2 people, one B-rank mercenary and one C-rank, was tantamount to suicide.

But the moment that the young man noticed the black panther behind Liu Mei, he immediately understood what was going on.

ʼʼSo they are planning to use a magic beast to pass the missions? Sigh Young masters really have their lives all set up for them.ʼʼ

Nodding his head subconsciously, the young man behind the counter looked at Shun Long and reminded him

ʼʼYou need to bring proof for each mission, in order to successfully claim the reward.

The C-rank mission only requires for you to bring back the rank 4 ʼMeridian-heating fruitʼ, while the B-rank mission requires for the head of Hao Jingguo.ʼʼ

Nodding his head, Shun Long accepted both missions, as he and Liu Mei got on the black panther and left the ʼMercenariesʼ Associationʼ.

The moment that they exited through the gates of the association, the bald old man with the large earlobes slowly sat up from his seat.

The long white-haired Hao Ping looked at him with a glimmer in his eyes as he asked

ʼʼOld Zhilan, have you decided then?ʼʼ

Nodding his head, Xue Zhilan looked at Hao Ping, before he said with an expressionless tone

ʼʼIndeed, a small brat at the Heaven grade shouldnʼt be allowed to have a peak rank 5 magic beast as his mount. This is a disgrace to any rank 5 magic beast after all.

As long as these brats go to the Dreamland plains, it will become their final resting place!ʼʼ

Xue Zhilanʼs look then turned serious as he continued

ʼʼHowever, although I am confident in killing the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ if I need to, Iʼm not certain if I can force it to submit. Old Ping, if you help me with this, I will give you 20.000 middle-grade spirit stones, along with the ʼFour seasons azure swordʼ.ʼʼ

Hao Pingʼs eyes lit up when he heard Xue Zhilanʼs words, especially the final part, but after a moment of pondering, he shook his head as he said with a serious look in his eyes

ʼʼOld Zhilan, the truth is, that I have already heard about a pair of small brats who were riding on a rank 5 black panther inside the city.

Although I donʼt know their identities, I know that this brat in blue is a member of the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ. Even if I help you kill them, there is no way that the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ wonʼt notice it.

Additionally, I donʼt know why, but this brat is definitely hiding his cultivation. A week ago, when he entered the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ, he became a rank 3 silver grade alchemist. I am sure that you understand the consequences that we would have to face, if we kill an important member of the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guild.ʼʼ

Xue Zhilan was stunned for a second when he heard this.

He knew that Hao Pingʼs network of information was much better than his own, since he was a reclusive person himself.

ʼʼI will add 30.000 middle-grade spirit stones more, along with the ʼFour seasons azure swordʼ. Hao Ping, donʼt tell me that you are really afraid of the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ finding out about this. We only have to make a move once they are outside of the city, and no one will ever know.

As for the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ, I can just say that we found it by accident. As long as there is no proof, the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ wonʼt be able to do anything in the end!ʼʼ

After staying silent for a moment Hao Ping finally nodded his head, as he and the bald Xue Zhilan soon disappeared from the secret room, as if they had never existed inside it to begin with.

At the same time, Shun Long toured through the western part of the city with Liu Mei, as he visited many herb shops, purchasing any kind of useful medicinal herbs that he found.

He had spent more than 300.000 low-grade spirit stones before he finally moved towards the northern part of the Heavenʼs Dome city.

The Dreamland forest was located at the north of the Heavenʼs Dome city, and even with the black pantherʼs speed, it would take them at least 2 days to get there.

At the same time that Shun Long and Liu Mei left the Heavenʼs Dome city, in a large building at the east of the city, a young man in his mid 20s was kneeling in front of a stunning woman dressed in purple robes.

The young man didnʼt dare to raise his head and look at the beautiful woman in front of him, as he knelt on the ground and said

ʼʼElder Zhong! The target that we were monitoring seems to have accepted a mission from the ʼMercenariesʼ Associationʼ, and is now heading towards the Dreamland forest.ʼʼ

Zhong Biya was taken aback when she heard the report. She hadnʼt expected for a rank 3 silver grade alchemist, to accept a mission himself and leave the Heavenʼs Dome city by himself.

With an alluring smile on her face, the purple-robed woman suddenly stood up, before she turned into a wisp of purple smoke as she instantly disappeared from the room.
