Chapter 1144: Cheng Tang Mountain!
Yue Zhong looked at all the items with red eyes, while thinking to himself, "No, I need to complete the missions fast, that way, I can earn contribution points to purchase items suitable for me, and quickly reach the Type 9 realm."
5 days passed by quickly. During these 5 days, Yue Zhong had been cultivating diligently to consolidate his strength, while obtaining as much intelligence as he could from the network.
He had killed Fang Sheng, and turned Fang Ming into his puppet, thus offending the Fang Clan greatly. He had to make preparations for itself.
On this day, Yue Zhong had just exited from the network, when Dong Yu Yao came up to him and said, "Yue Zhong, Jody's here. He's waiting in the living room."
"I got it!"
When Yue Zhong came to the living room, he noticed Jody was sitting alongside a beautiful woman with long, blonde hair, her figure voluptuous, and dressed in red leather.
Jody immediately introduced her to Yue Zhong, "Yue Zhong, this is Holy Daughter Bianna from our Northern Temple. She has some matters she would like to discuss with you."
Bianna smiled charmingly and said, "How do you do, I'm Bianna, pleased to meet you."
Yue Zhong directly asked, "Hi, I'm Yue Zhong. May I ask, Miss Bianna, what exactly are you looking for me for?"
She adjusted herself, accentuating her figure even more for Yue Zhong's viewing pleasure, before laughing lightly, "Mr. Yue Zhong, I know that you have chosen the mission to explore the Merlot Battlefield. A few of my comrades and myself have chosen that same mission. The Merlot Battlefield is a public area, and not only will there be spatial tears left behind by those Type 10 legends of the past, there are also spiritual imprints, undying devil spirits, as well as powerhouses from other species. I would like to invite you to join us on the expedition."
Yue Zhong then asked the crucial question, "In that case, how would we distribute any findings or spoils?"
She replied forthrightly, "If the person found the item, it belongs to him or her. If it were obtained as a group, then it would be determined by the efforts contributed."
With a thought, Yue Zhong agreed, "Sure! I'll join you guys!"
On such an expedition, the more people there were the better, Yue Zhong had also intended to head to the Merlot Battlefield for investigation.
Bianna then said, "3 days later, we'll meet at Chen Tang Mountain of the Tang Ce Empire, 10a.m. sharp."
"Sure!"
The Tang Ce Empire was the most remote of empires at the edge of human civilization, around the edge of that empire, there was nothing but a barren wasteland.
The foreign species were rampant in these wastelands, fighting amongst themselves continuously. There were even some Type 9 powerhouses among them. If it was not for the protection of the Holy Heavens, those foreign species would have already ravaged the Tang Ce Empire countless times.
Chen Tang Shan was a mountain that was the closest to the border, about 5,000m in height.
On this day, on top of the remote mountain, there were 4 people waiting.
Of the 4 people, there were 2 men and 2 women, the men handsome and suave, the women beautiful. Each of them looked like immortals, exuding an indescribable aura that was attractive and extraordinary.
One of the men, who wore a green robe and had a long sword on at his waist frowned slightly, as he asked, "Why isn't Yue Zhong here yet?"
The other man, who had golden hair and blue eyes, his nose slightly red and he wore a white robe, laughed lightly, "Bi Feng, he's someone who could cause the image of dragons and tigers to appear, a rare genius of a thousand years, it's natural that he's some big shot."
Bianna laughed and replied, "Azaman, Bi Feng, it's only 9:56 now, it's still not time yet."
The last woman, who wore spectacles and a white round hat on her head, her entire body decked in white, spoke coldly, "It's already 9:57, to be precise. With only 3 minutes to the appointed time, yet, there's no sign of him. Seems like he would not be here punctually. Such a person, with no time management, lacks bearing. Furthermore, we're all Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of our respective Temples, while he's merely a Divine Envoy. How could he be so arrogant? When he becomes a Holy Son in the future, who's to say he would not be uncontrollable?"
While Yue Zhong's trigger of the tiger and dragon illusion had shocked many, it had left many others with a bitter taste in their mouths due to jealousy and envy.
The 4 on this Chen Tang Peak were the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Holy Heavens, each of them having gone through numerous tests, and were recognized as geniuses and talents. They were all confident of their own strength, and now that Yue Zhong was making them wait, they were naturally unhappy.
Bianna tried to console her friend, "Annie, there's still 2 minutes. I think he should be able to make it within the time."
Annie spoke coldly, "Let's hope so."
"I don't think I'm late!"
Right at this time, a mysterious voice sounded from one side of the peak. Hearing Yue Zhong's voice, the rest all stiffened, as they whirred around towards the direction of the voice, noticing Yue Zhong standing behind them.
Bianna smiled warmly, "Yue Zhong, you're here. How come I did not see you come up?"
The remaining people also looked at him, curious to find out how he had managed to come up noiselessly. After all, their perceptions had been scanning the entire peak this whole time. Even an ant would not be able to escape their notice. However, under their very noses, Yue Zhong had still appeared behind them. It was as creepy as a spirit.
Yue Zhong laughed lightly, "I used some methods, intending to give you all a surprise."
Bianna took the initiative to introduce them, "Yue Zhong, let me introduce you. This is Holy Daughter Annie from the Western Temple. This is Holy Son Azaman from the Eastern Temple, while this is Holy Son Bi Feng from the Southern Temple."
Yue Zhong grinned, "Hi y'all! I'm Yue Zhong, pleased to meet you guys."
Bi Feng spoke coldly, "Since everyone's here, let's go!"
After that, he shot off into the distance.
Annie and Azaman nodded towards Yue Zhong, before following after Bi Feng.
"Let's go!"
Bianna then led Yue Zhong as they soared into the great barren lands.
