“Yes, we should actively contribute to the Palace to be accepted as soon as possible!” the skinny middle-aged man Jian Zhong nodded in agreement.
Qu Ya and the other two sincerely wanted to join Shang Qing Palace. As such, they naturally wanted to be accepted by Shang Qing Palace as soon as possible.
They invited Su Mo to tag along as they saw that his cultivation was of a high level and he had reached Intermediate Martial Sage Realm.
“Is thatso?” Su Mo’s went into deep thought when he heard this.
“Brother Shangguan. You are of a higher cultivation than I am. It would be safer for us to stick together!” Qu Ya smiled beautifully, as if she had no scheming thoughts.
She and Luo Rong were both of Intermediate Martial Sage Realm cultivation. As for the middle-aged man Jian Zhong, he was of Beginner Martial Sage Realm Cultivation. If he were to stick with Su Mo and these other advanced Martial Sages, he would indeed be much safer.
“What kind of missions are there?” Su Mo thought. If there was a mission that was to provoke the Sky Tyrant Clan, he would be willing to do it.
“We do not know the specific missions. However, some are about finding Sky Treasures or killing the enemies of Shang Qing Palace!” said Luo Rong.
“Brother Shangguan, the missions are with the Grand Elder. You can ask him more if you would like to receive your mission!” said Qu Ya.
“Let’s go!” Su Mo nodded. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well take a look.
Immediately after, the few of them went to find the Grand Elder.
Shang Qing Palace was huge. They had asked around for quite some time before knowing where the Grand Elder resided.
Grand Elder lived on another mountain peak in a simple palace.
After a while, the four of them arrived at the Grand Elder’s palace and met with him.
The Grand Elder was a greying Elder who had a tall build. His aura was incredibly profound. No wonder he was a Rank 1 Empty God Realm Power.
“What mission would you like?”
The Grand Elder asked in a deep voice after the four of them came up to him.
“Grand Elder, are there any missions to deal with the enemies of Shang Qing Palace?” Su Mo said first. He would not do any other mission.
“Yes!”
Grand elder nodded. Immediately after, he waved his arms and four jade pendants appeared in front of him. He said, “There are different types of missions here. You can choose them yourself!”
“OK!”
Su Mo nodded and without hesitation, he picked up the four jade pendants and inspected them.
Qu Ya and the other two did not fight to snatch them. After all, Su Mo had the highest cultivation. If Su Mo chose his mission, they were willing to follow him.
Su Mo carefully examined the missions in the jade pendant. The first mission was to kill a deserter. This person had killed more than a dozen disciples of Shang Qing Palace. His current whereabouts were only roughly known.
The second mission was also to kill an enemy of Shang Qing Palace.
The third was to annihilate a small Force called Full Moon Inn. This small force had a good relationship with Shang Qing Palace, yet in private, it had betrayed Shang Qing Palace and relied on Sky Tyrant Clan.
The fourth mission was to kill a Genius of Divine Light Hall named Xi Yuan. This person had killed multiple Genius disciples of Shang Qing Palace. Furthermore, Divine Light Hall was the subordinate force of Sky Tyrant Clan.
Su Mo smiled as he carefully looked at the details of the four missions. There were actually two missions that were related to Sky Tyrant Clan.
This was his chance to use the two missions to elevate the tension and conflict between Shang Qing Palace and Sky Tyrant Clan.
There was no time to lose. His identity would soon be exposed by Shang Qing Palace. He reckoned that not long after, Sky Tyrant Clan would trace his whereabouts.
“Grand Elder, we accept these two missions!” Su Mo left the other two jade pendants behind as he said to the Grand Elder.
However, upon hearing this, the Grand Elder shook his head and said, “These two missions will be extremely difficult for the four of you!”
“Why?” Qu Ya asked. She did not know about the details of the mission and was curious. How difficult were these two missions such that the four of them together could not complete them?
“With your cultivation, there is some danger involved in completing these two missions. Only Martial King Sage Realm can easily complete these missions!” said the Grand Elder.
“So difficult?”
Qu Ya, Luo Rong and Jian Zhong frowned. Why did Shangguan Hao actually choose such a difficult mission?
“Rest assured, Grand Elder. There will be no big problem with the four of us joining hands!” Su Mo said in a deep voice. To him, these missions were nothing.
“OK, act according to your own capabilities!” the Grand Elder nodded. He knew that Su Mo and the other three had just joined Shang Qing Palace and wanted to prove themselves.
With regards to this, he would not stop them. This was also considered a test for them. It would be nothing if they failed.
Immediately after, the Grand Elder added, “Keep these two missions extremely private, especially the Divine Light Hall mission. We cannot let others know that it is the doings of Shang Qing Palace.”
“Understood!” Su Mo nodded. The Grand Elder was worried that the Sky Tyrant Clan would blame it on Shang Qing Palace. However, what Su Mo wanted was for Shang Qing Palace and Sky Tyrant Clan to go to war.
“Grand Elder, we will make our leave!”
Immediately after, Su Mo cupped his fists to the Grand Elder and strode out of the palace.
Qu Ya and the others immediately followed after Su Mo as they walked out.
“Brother Shangguan, what exactly is the deal with this mission?”
The refined young man Luo Rong hurriedly chased after Su Mo as he asked solemnly after walking out of the palace.
He would not participate in the mission if it was too difficult.
After all, Su Mo was of Advanced Martial Sage Realm Cultivation. If there was danger, it would be easy for him to get out of it. However, he was only of Intermediate Martial Sage Realm cultivation.
“Yes! Brother Shangguan, what exactly is the mission?” Qu Ya looked equally serious.
Jian Zhong did not speak but stared fixedly at Su Mo, waiting for him to answer.
“Look at it!” Su Mo threw the two mission jade pendants in his palms to Luo Rong.
Luo Rong hurriedly checked them. After a glance, his face changed drastically.
Seeing Luo Rong’s face, Qu Ya and Jian Zhong immediately checked the contents of the jade pendant.
The three of their faces looked gloomy after looking at the jade pendant contents. Not only were the two missions extremely difficult, they were simply impossible to complete.
The first mission was to annihilate Full Moon Inn. Full Moon Inn had a Force full of King Sage Grade Elites.
Not only that, Full Moon Inn had quite a few Intermediate masters. Other than a King Sage, there were three more Martial Sages.
The second mission was even more ridiculous – to kill Xi Yuan of Divine Light Hall.
Xi Yuan?
The four of them were stumped. They all knew Xi Yuan, he was a Super Genius.
Although he was not listed in the King Sage Board, he was well-known across the Dark Region and was considered to be a terrifying figure.
Yet, Shangguan Hao had actually accepted these missions.
“Brother Shangguan, are you crazy? How can you dare to accept these missions?” Luo Rong asked, his face aghast.
“Don’t worry, I can handle them!” Su Mo shook his head.
“Do you have an idea?” Qu Ya asked curiously. She naturally did not believe that Su Mo would be victorious over Xi Yuan.
Xi Yuan was a Super Genius of King Sage Realm. His combat power was extremely powerful. How could a warrior of advanced Martial Sage Realm deal with that?
“Let’s walk and talk!”
Su Mo walked as he rushed to the sky, charging towards the starry sky.
If it were possible, he simply did not want to bring these three people with him. However, since the three of them had invited him to do a mission together, it would not be good for him to act alone.
The three of them rose to the sky and quickly chased after Su Mo.
“Shangguan Hao, let us know, what ideas do you have?” Qu Ya asked.
“I do not need a plan, I’ll just directly kill them!” Su Mo said coldly, his face extremely calm.
Hearing this, Qu Ya, Luo Rong and Jian Zhong’s face darkened.
Shangguan Hao was actually so arrogant?
Their hearts could not help but sink suddenly. They somewhat regretted doing these missions with Su Mo.
After all, from their point of view, if they were unable to kill Xi Yuan at that time, it would be easy for Su Mo to escape, but much harder for them.
The four of them looked at each other in dismay. They did not go back. Since they were there, they might as well take a look at the situation.
At the most, they would not turn up in time.
