“Lord of the City, perhaps your memory is failing you? We have reported, and we are here for...” Zheng Rucheng retorted upon hearing the Lord's words.
However, before he could finish, the Lord sneered and said, “I am the Lord of the City. Do you think I don’t know whether you reported or not?”
“Haha, that’s exactly how it should be! I like it! Haha!” Bai Yunfei leaned against the railing of the pavilion, watching the standoff between the Lord and the Zheng family, clapping in delight.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie was closely watching the Zheng family Ancestor and Zheng Rucheng. These two were the bosses of his current mission! Look at how they shone with golden light; tsk tsk, too bad they couldn’t see it themselves.
The Zheng family Ancestor was a big boss, while Zheng Rucheng was a **oss. It seemed that the Zheng family Ancestor was even stronger than Zheng Rucheng from the Da Luo Sect. Although his talent was not as good as Zheng Rucheng's, he had lived much longer!
Ling Mo Xie's eyes sparkled with excitement, but his tightly clenched hands revealed that he was also quite nervous.
Although he had cleverly enlisted the help of the Lord's Mansion to deal with the Zheng family, there was one crucial issue: these two bosses had to die at his hands; otherwise, this mission would be considered a failure.
Because if the Lord's Mansion destroyed the Zheng family, it wouldn’t count as Ling Mo Xie defeating them!
In other words, he had to compete for kills in front of three Golden Core Stage experts! Just thinking about it made him a bit excited!
Since both the Zheng family Ancestor and Zheng Rucheng were far stronger than him, Ling Mo Xie could only keep casting probing spells on them to gauge their strengths and avoid being caught off guard later.
Just as Ling Mo Xie continuously cast probing spells at the two from the Zheng family, Feng Yiqin had already grown tired of wasting time with them and decided to end things quickly. He waved his hand at the two generals beside him.
Zhang Kang and Zhen Long exchanged glances, channeling their spiritual energy. One cast a spell towards the Zheng family Ancestor while the other directed a spell at Zheng Rucheng.
Suddenly, the sky lit up like fireworks—icy blasts and fiery flames, frost and snowstorms, fierce winds and lightning intertwined and roared. The residual shockwaves from their battle crashed into the opulent buildings of the Zheng family, causing them to collapse in an instant.
Feng Yiqin watched as the Zheng family Ancestor, Zheng Rucheng, and his two subordinates fought. A cold smile crept onto his lips as he waved his hand to signal his soldiers behind him: “Leave no one from the Zheng family alive!” His voice was chilling like a winter wind in December.
“You all go too! If you encounter anyone from the Zheng family, don’t let them escape. As for the City Guard, if they haven’t provoked you, just ignore them!” Ling Mo Xie stood at the edge of the pavilion railing, squinting at the soldiers dispersing in front of the conference hall. He instructed those behind him while also releasing Big White.
The Zheng family was one of the top Big Families in Chiyan City, so naturally there were many members within. This kind of mission offered rich Experience points; Ling Mo Xie certainly didn’t want to miss out.
But he also needed to keep an eye on this side to be ready to compete for kills at any moment. Thus, he could only instruct Bai Yunfei and others to go ahead.
“Let’s go!” Bai Yunfei shouted lightly and leaped over the railing of the pavilion. This pavilion was indeed the tallest structure in the Zheng family estate, standing at least several dozen feet high!
When Ling Mo Xie looked in the direction of Bai Yunfei, he saw a white shadow gracefully land on the ground, disappearing after a few leaps.
"I'll go too!" Xiao Chi said with a candied hawthorn in his mouth, speaking indistinctly before turning into a spark and vanishing.
Luo Yan watched as Bai Yunfei and Xiao Chi left, hesitating to say anything but ultimately decided against it and turned to leave as well.
"Is there something you want to say? Just say it! We are friends, aren't we? What’s wrong with being honest with friends?" Ling Mo Xie continued to stare at the two from the Zheng family, not turning around, but his words were clearly directed at Luo Yan.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Luo Yan's cold face as he said, "You're so capable; could you do me a favor?"
Then, as if afraid Ling Mo Xie would refuse, he quickly added, "I know you’ve saved me more than once, and I haven’t repaid you at all. Asking for your help does feel a bit ungrateful, but... this matter is very important to me! If you could help me..."
Ling Mo Xie finally turned around and shot him a glare, displeasure evident on his face. He said bluntly, "What do you mean? I already said we are friends. Do you not consider me one? If that's the case, then get lost as far as your thoughts can take you!"
Ling Mo Xie usually appeared carefree, but when he suddenly got angry, it was quite imposing, even startling Luo Yan, who called himself an Evil Cultivator. Luo Yan awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth; perhaps that was his smile.
He said, "Of course I consider you a friend. I just didn’t want to trouble you."
"Would you think it’s a hassle if your friend asks for help? Stop being so wishy-washy and just tell me what it is!" Ling Mo Xie rolled his eyes at him and resumed his nonchalant demeanor, leaning back against the railing of the bench while still watching the fight between the two from the Zheng family and Zhang Kang and Zhen Long.
At this point, both sides had already sustained injuries, though they didn't seem too serious. Ling Mo Xie still hadn’t been able to ascertain the cultivation levels of Zheng Family Ancestor and Zheng Rucheng, which made him feel somewhat anxious.
This further clarified for him the gap in strength between himself and those at the Golden Core Stage, which was why he had suddenly lost his temper earlier.
"I want you to help me make a trip to Da Luo Sect. I..."
"Are you looking for death? Didn't you say that Da Luo Sect has experts in the Out-of-Body Stage and Separation Period?" Before Luo Yan could finish speaking, Ling Mo Xie interrupted him.
However, Luo Yan firmly replied, "I must go; otherwise, I won't be at ease!"
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback and recalled the ordinary handkerchief that Luo Yan treasured so much. It seemed like something used by women; it wasn’t a spiritual tool and shouldn’t be valued so highly by a cultivator. Could it be related to Da Luo Sect?
"Fine, let’s talk about this after this matter is settled!" Ling Mo Xie thought to himself that he was here to complete this task not just for nothing but also to obtain clues about Zhou Xinyi.
At this moment, they should all share the same feelings. Some things must be done, even if you know there is only a glimmer of hope.
"Thank you!" Luo Yan said sincerely. Since Ling Mo Xie could effortlessly destroy the Zheng Family, he could certainly help him achieve his wishes!
However, Ling Mo Xie ignored the departing Luo Yan after the thanks and instead focused on Zheng Rucheng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had lost count of how many times he had failed; he finally saw Zheng Rucheng's attributes!
Zheng Rucheng (boss):
Level: 78
Health Points: ??????
Skills: Golden Sun High Hanging, Great Luo Golden Body, Penetrating Sun Long Rainbow, ???
Weaknesses: Perineum, Hundred Meetings Point, Left Arm, ???
"Damn! Is my luck off the charts? I even found out his weaknesses?" Ling Mo Xie murmured softly, then scoffed disdainfully, "Is Zheng Rucheng really that useless? And this is still Golden Core Stage? Not to mention so many weaknesses; there are still many weaknesses I can't detect!"
He didn't consider that it wasn't that Zheng Rucheng was too useless; it was just that the System was too powerful...
