Chapter 523

As for the other three major Xuan Continents, their situation is different from ours in North Xuan Continent. East Xuan Continent has the most Immortal Cultivation Academy, so those places are completely decided by the Immortal Cultivation Academy.

In West Xuanzhou, Buddhism has the final say, and the strongest one there is the Buddha Sect. In Nanxuanzhou, it is controlled by the eight major sects, and the monks there are led by the eight major sects.

Of course, there are alchemist guilds and mercenary guilds in every city. Although they are powerful, they need the alchemist guild and mercenary guild, so they specially asked Central Continent to send these. "

"Pang Lao, they are so powerful, why do they still allow these two forces to settle in?".

"Don't you understand this? The place that monks admire the most is Central Continent. If you go to Central Continent, reporting these two names will save you some grievances."

Ling Bai understood what Mr. Pang said. By reporting these two names in Zhongzhou, he seemed to have support, and most people would not dare to bully him.

Of course, it was entirely because these two forces were so powerful that they were able to develop branches on a large scale throughout the Tianxuan Continent.

After the two talked for a while, Ling Bai understood more things about Beixuanzhou. These were things that Hou Hu had not told him, and of course Hou Hu himself did not know.

You must know that when the Hou family was at its most glorious, there were only a few Earth Martial Realm members in the family, and they had no idea about such a behemoth as the Beihuang Empire.

Only when you reach the Holy Martial Realm, many people will know that the place where they grew up is the territory of the Northern Wasteland Empire, and after you reach the Holy Martial Realm, the Empire will summon you.

After that, you will receive a reward from the empire. In return, when the empire is threatened, you have to help the empire defend itself against foreign enemies.

The methods used by the four empires to strengthen their territory are also very clever. The four empires will not send out troops, because in such a war, too much damage will be done.

So it was changed to a martial arts competition. If your people win more times, then this place will be yours.

This kind of competition is held every ten years, and there are still four or five years until the next start.

Ling Bai followed Mr. Pang for half a month and finally arrived in Dahuang City. The Alchemist Guild sent Mr. Pang here to help the branch here because the low-level alchemist in the branch was promoted a few months ago.

Now there is no one to lead the alchemist branch in Dahuang City. Let Mr. Pang take over for a while. When the headquarters sends a new low-level alchemist, Mr. Pang can leave here.

Ling Bai and Pang Lao arrived at the Alchemist Guild in Dahuang City, where someone was already waiting for them.

"You must be Mr. Pang. I am Fu Di, the vice president of the Alchemist Branch of Dahuang City. You are polite."

"President Fu, you're welcome. I'm just sent here from the headquarters to take over some time. You still have to manage all the big and small things here. I'll just refine the elixirs, and I'll leave the rest to President Fu."

Hearing what Mr. Pang said, Fu Di smiled happily and said, "No, I will still rely on you in the future."

Fu Di arranged a place for Mr. Pang and Ling Bai to live, and then left.

"Mr. Pang, this Fuhui Great Wall Mansion is very deep!"

"Haha, this old guy is afraid that I will come and snatch his power. How can I have that kind of time? I am already very tired after refining the elixir every day. There is no need. Besides, I am only staying here temporarily. Why do I need power?"

"Mr. Pang has seen things through. I hope President Fu won't cause trouble for us, otherwise he will have a hard time."

"You kid, please restrain yourself. Don't forget what you are here for. You are here to hone yourself, not only your cultivation, but also your character and so on. You must improve it in all aspects."

"I know Mr. Pang, what should we do next?"

"Next, you go to the Mercenary Guild here first. I think you will find the difference between this place and Mo City after you go there."

"Okay, Mr. Pang, I'll leave first." Ling Bai left the Alchemist's Guild and headed to the Mercenary Guild in Dahuang City.

After Ling Bai left, someone immediately followed him.

Ling Bai's soul power was now very strong. He had already noticed the person following him, but he ignored him. Anyway, what he did was not something shameful.

After arriving at the Mercenary Guild, Ling Bai came to the mission list and found that the mission list here was indeed different from that in Mo City.

The mission list in Mo City is more about hunting monsters and beasts, but here it is about killing all kinds of evil people and horse bandits.

Chapter 61 The Mission of the Mercenary Guild

This is the most frequently posted task on the mercenary guild's task list, and the rewards for these tasks are very high. Ling Bai even saw some people offering low-level elixirs to post tasks.

Compared with the mercenary guild in Mo City, the overall level of the mission list here is much higher than that there.

Ling Bai browsed for a long time and came to the side of the staff.

"Hello, I'm from another city, can I take the mission here?"

"Of course, sir, the token of the Mercenary Guild is common to the entire continent. You just need to put the token on it."

"Okay, thank you."

Ling Bai placed the token in the slot of the task list according to the way he used to accept tasks before, and then took ten of the tasks from the fourth to sixth level of Xuanwu Realm.

These ten tasks were all about killing some villains and bandits. Ling Bai directly accepted ten of them and then left the guild hall.

After Ling Bai returned to the Alchemist Guild, he told Mr. Pang about being followed.

Mr. Pang has nothing to do with him. Just let the guy named Fu follow him. He will stop in a few days.

After Ling Bai accepted the task, he was not in a hurry to complete it. He asked about all the information of the people on the task.

After all, these people also knew that they were on the task list of the mercenary guild, so their whereabouts were erratic, and Ling Bai needed to lock their location.

A day later, Ling Bai locked the location of a person. This person's nickname was Butcher, who killed many people. This task was issued by the Lin family of Dahuang City. The son of their Lin family died in his hands when he went out to play.

Ling Bai took the information in his hand and came to a market town a hundred miles away. This is the junction of the two empires, so it is very chaotic. There are many market towns built, all of which were built by himself.

The intelligence he bought said that the Butcher appeared here half a day ago. Ling Bai rushed over immediately because the Butcher ran very fast.

Ling Bai entered a wine shop with a bamboo hat, "Waiter, give me a pot of wine and four taels of meat!"

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." Ling Bai came to the most remote position upstairs and sat down, watching the people below eat meat and drink.

"Sir, your wine and meat!" The waiter brought the food up in a moment.

"No need to change." Ling Bai threw the silver to the waiter.

"Thank you, sir!" The waiter smiled and bowed to Ling Bai and went to work.

Ling Bai drank the wine and ate the meat slowly, as if he was waiting for someone.

After an incense stick of time, a middle-aged man with messy hair walked in, and Ling Bai's eyes lit up immediately. This butcher was still here.

"Waiter, serve the wine and meat!"

"Okay, sir, wait a moment, it will be ready soon!" The waiter served the wine and meat diligently.

The butcher did not embarrass the waiter, gave the waiter silver, and drank and ate meat alone.

Ling Bai did not rush to act, because his soul power felt that several breaths locked on the butcher.

"Interesting." Ling Bai drank the wine and looked at the scene below.

When the butcher was halfway through eating, suddenly a drunk man ran to his table, but he was indifferent and just drank and ate meat quietly.

The man vomited in front of him for a long time, and as he staggered away, a cold light flashed from his hand.

However, before the dagger in his hand touched the butcher, his head had already flown out.

The man's body ran forward a few steps and then fell there.

After the man died, several people at the table next to him also took out their weapons and attacked the butcher.

The butcher did not move, and still sat there drinking. He had an extra knife in his left hand, blocking all the attacks from everyone.

"It's you again. You have been following me for half a month. Are you still not convinced after so many people died?"

"Humph, butcher, you killed so many of us, how could we let you go."

"I told you a long time ago, don't provoke me, there are some prices you can't afford."

Ling Bai watched the butcher wielding the knife with one hand to block all the people on the opposite side. He felt the existence of the knife intent from the butcher.

This butcher seemed to be a man with a story. He felt that this butcher should not be a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, because only swordsmen have the knife intent.

Those who kill innocent people indiscriminately cannot become swordsmen. Those people kill just to satisfy their own purpose. Only those with strong will can hone their artistic conception.

After a while, the people in front of the butcher had been dealt with by him. Before he left, he put a lot of silver on the table and left.

After he left, Ling Bai followed him. The tavern was too small and he wanted to see the butcher.

After the butcher came out of the tavern, he walked alone on the street. After walking into an alley, he stood in the same place.

"You have followed me for so long, why don't you come out?"

"Very sharp perception, good, you didn't waste your sword intention."

"Are you here to kill me and get the reward too?" The butcher stared at Ling Bai in front of him.

He could sense the sword intent from the man in front of him.

Chapter 62 The Butcher's Story

He knew that the man in front of him was a strong opponent.

"I originally took that mission, but now I think there is something wrong with this mission."

"What is the mistake? Why don't you tell me?"

"First of all, I got the news that the butcher is a wicked man. Not only does he kill innocent people, he also often hunts down the sons of some wealthy families. But after seeing him today, I don't believe the intelligence."

"Why do you think so? You know there are many people who want my head. Why do you care so much about completing the mission?"

"I always complete the mission according to my temperament. If I think this mission can be done, I can do it. If I can't do it, even the king of heaven can't do it."

"Haha, you are the most unique person I have ever met."

"That's right. My sword has always been made according to my temperament. I am very interested in your sword intent. How about a competition?"

"I feel the long-lost fighting spirit from you. Please teach me." The butcher bowed to Ling Bai, and Ling Bai returned the bow.

Then the swords and knives collided at the same time, and the whole alley was half sword and half knife.

"It's great, you really didn't let me down." The butcher roared and continued to swing his knife.

The sword intent on Ling Bai's body surged out, smiled, and continued to attack the butcher.

After the two exchanged dozens of moves, they put away their weapons at the same time.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Ling Bai, and I'm a mercenary."

"My name is Lone Wolf, and I'm nicknamed The Butcher. I'm an orphan. I met a cheap master who taught me all my sword skills, but he was short-lived."

The two of them held hands together, and it was obvious that the fight just now had made the two of them friends.

"Let's go find a place to chat. It's not suitable to stay here anymore." Lone Wolf took Ling Bai to a house in the market town.

"This is my home. No one has been able to find it for so many years."

"You are really powerful, living right under the nose of Dahuang City."

"I have lived here for so many years, and it is not easy for outsiders to find me."

Lone Wolf asked Ling Bai to sit down and poured a glass of water for Ling Bai.

"By the way, what's the situation with the Lin family offering a low-level elixir to reward you?"

"Haha, it turns out they are offering a reward for me. Is it any wonder?"

"Do you know them?"

"I know, they were the ones who forced my cheap master to death because my master obtained some earth-level sword skills, but I have never seen my cheap master possess such a thing."

"It seems that your master has something to do with the Lin family. Do you know your master's name?"

"He never said that when I saw him, he would hold his own knife every day when he went out to drink, which is the knife I have now." Lone Wolf took out his own knife.

"Can you show me your knife?"

"Here, it's just a broken knife. They identified it when my master died. I got it back from them later."

Ling Bai picked up the knife handed over by Lone Wolf and used his soul power to scan it.

Under his careful scanning, he found that there was a soul mark on it, but people without soul could not feel it at all.

"Lone Wolf, what is the highest level of cultivation in the Lin family?"

"Now it should be the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm. In the past, there were people in the Lin family who were in the Holy Martial Realm, but then they disappeared."

"Then when your master was forced to die, was there anyone in the Lin family who was in the Holy Martial Realm?"

"Why do you ask this?" Lone Wolf looked at Ling Bai doubtfully.

"If the Lin family didn't have the Holy Martial Realm at that time, your master might really have earth-level sword skills." Ling Bai said confidently.

Hearing Ling Bai's firm statement, he thought for a moment, "No, the Lin family's Shengwu had just fallen not long ago."

"In that case, my guess is correct. There is a soul mark on this knife. I don't know if it belongs to your master. I can try to activate it for you."

"Okay, then you give it a try. I also want to know how that cheap master died. Although he didn't care much about me, without him, I would have starved to death on the street."

Ling Bai mobilized his soul power and injected it into the soul mark. Feeling Ling Bai's soul power, the soul mark lit up, and a figure appeared in the room.
