Zhao Hai rode on his horse while Ma Long and Liu Cai followed behind him. Beside them was a convoy of ten carriages. This convoy was their mission this time. They were to escort this convoy to River Li City. This convoy didn't belong to the Grand Peace Hall, but instead to another famous shop in Demon Heart City, the Rushing Moon Palace's convoy.
The Rushing Moon Palace was a relatively large shop in Devil Heart City. This shop was located in the second city. It was one of the forces in Devil Heart City that couldn't be easily offended. As for who was behind the Rushing Moon Palace, Zhao Hai didn't know. However, he didn't want to know. He was only here to complete a mission, so there was no need to inquire too much.
The person in charge of the Rushing Moon Palace's fleet this time was a fat man. Of course, this fat man was not an ordinary person. His strength was also at the Combine Soul Stage. Other than this fat man, the Rushing Moon Palace also brought along 20 workers. These workers were not weak either. They were basically cultivators at the Doppelganger Stage.
In addition to Ma Long and Liu Cai, Zhao Hai also brought fifty Blood Blade Gang Cultivators. These Blood Blade Gang Cultivators were the elites of the gang. The weakest of them were at the Avatar Stage while the rest were at the Combination Soul Stage. The Blood Blade Gang attached great importance to this mission because this was their first mission in Devil Heart City.
At this time, Zhao Hai and the others had already left Devil Heart City and were heading towards Lijiang City. The Blood Blade Gang Cultivators were guarding the two sides of the carriage. Ma Long was walking behind Zhao Hai. On the carriage beside them were two long poles. On these poles were two banners. One was the Blood Blade Banner of the Blood Blade Gang while the other was the Rushing Moon Palace's Rushing Moon Flag. This Rushing Moon Flag was actually very simple. It was a crescent moon flag with the words' Rushing Moon 'written on it.
On the other hand, the fat leader of the Rushing Moon Palace was sitting in the carriage next to Zhao Hai. The fat leader looked at Zhao Hai with an uncertain expression. Zhao Hai had already noticed the fat leader looking at him, so he turned his head and smiled faintly, "Leader, do you have any orders?"
When the fat leader heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just curious. What position does Mister have in the Blood Blade Gang? It's rare to see someone so young leading a team alone."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I don't have any position in the gang. In fact, I just joined the Blood Blade Gang not long ago. This is the second mission that I've participated in. I'm only doing this because of the gang's kindness. However, leader can rest assured that I'll do my best to deliver the goods to the Rushing Moon Palace. There won't be any mistakes."
When the fat leader heard what Zhao Hai said, his face couldn't help but change. He didn't think that Zhao Hai had just joined the Blood-Edge gang. This was really beyond his expectations. What made the fat leader even more worried was the safety of the goods he was going to bring.
The goods that the fat leader was transporting this time weren't simple. The goods in the carriage were just for show, they weren't worth much. The thing that they were really escorting this time was actually inside the fat leader's spatial ring. Inside the spatial ring was a herb called Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass.
The Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass was a very precious herb. This herb couldn't be considered a simple herb, it could be considered a treasure, a spirit treasure.
The Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass could be directly consumed. Not only would it increase one's cultivation, it would also allow one's body to emit a fragrance. This fragrance would prevent one from being attacked by poisonous insects. At the same time, eating the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass could also change one's body, making one immune to poison.
The Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass could also be used as a medicine. It was the main ingredient of the Nine Revolution Spirit Pill. The Nine Revolution Spirit Pill could revive the dead, regrow flesh and bones, regenerate broken limbs, and even detoxify poison. Such a medicine was absolutely precious. Even a Great Sect like the Buyun Sect would be jealous of it.
The Rushing Moon Palace had inadvertently obtained the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass. After obtaining the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass, they didn't make it public. Instead, they immediately hid the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass. At the same time, they carried out strict secrecy. In the end, they selected the fat leader and had him bring the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass to Riverfar City. From there, they would send the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass to the headquarters of the Rushing Moon Palace.
Normally, such a precious thing would be transported faster through transmission formations. However, there was a problem with the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass. The Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass was a special herb. The most special thing about this herb was that it couldn't be transported through transmission formations. No matter what you put the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass inside, as long as it goes through a transmission formation, the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass would undergo a huge change. It was originally a detoxification medicine, but after going through a transmission formation, it would become a highly toxic poison. Even Transcending Dust Realm Cultivators would be poisoned just by smelling its scent. Moreover, it was very frightening.
Normally, when the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass was placed inside the Space, it would be equivalent to being in an independent space. It shouldn't be affected by the outside environment. However, things were very strange. The Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass would still be affected by the outside environment. Because of this, nobody would use transmission formations to transport the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass.
The people of the Rushing Moon Palace were very clear about the value of the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass. Because of this, the Rushing Moon Palace didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. In order to transport the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass, they didn't even dare to look for powerful gangs. Instead, they issued ordinary missions with very low rewards. They were very clear that such missions wouldn't attract the attention of big gangs. Only small gangs would accept the mission. This way, people wouldn't suspect that the Rushing Moon Palace had a huge treasure.
However, the Fatty still hoped that the people escorting them this time would be strong enough to protect them. Now that he heard Zhao Hai say that he had just joined the Blood-Edge Gang, and that this was only his second mission, the Fatty's heart couldn't help but sink. He felt that he couldn't count on Zhao Hai's group this time.
Zhao Hai didn't know that the Fatty had already categorized him as useless. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Of course, if he knew that the Fatty had the Nine Revolution Heavenly Fragrance Grass, then he would've killed the Fatty for his treasure.
The Fatty was secretly worried, so naturally, he wasn't in the mood to talk. Zhao Hai noticed that the Fatty seemed to be a little absent-minded, but he didn't care. What the Fatty was thinking had nothing to do with him. He just needed to complete this mission.
Nothing happened along the way. After all, they weren't far from Devil Heart City. Even if someone wanted to attack them, they wouldn't do it at this time. They were too close to Devil Heart City. If they alarmed the people from the Disallow Sect, then everyone would be in trouble.
After traveling for a day, Zhao Hai and the others rested in a small town at night. The town wasn't very big, but because it was located on a major road, there were a lot of people coming and going. The town was very prosperous.
As Zhao led the convoy into the town, he turned to the fat leader and said, "Leader, in this town, our Blood Knife gang has an acquaintance. Although they don't have a shop, they have a lot of houses. Every time we come here, we will stay in their house. Of course, every time we come here, we won't stay for free. This time, we will stay there as well. What do you think?"
Although the Blood-Edge Gang had the responsibility of being a guard, they were still employed. Some decisions were still made by the employer. At the very least, they should ask for the employer's opinion.
When the Fatty heard Zhao Hai, he rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you just join the Blood-Edge Gang? How do you know that there's a family here that has a relationship with the Blood-Edge Gang? Our Flying Moon Palace also has an old acquaintance here. I think we should stay there today. "Then he ignored Zhao Hai and waved his hand. The convoy then headed towards the town.
When Ma Long and Liu Caiyi saw the fat man's behavior, their faces couldn't help but change. The faces of the other members of the Blood-Edge gang weren't very good either. They knew that there were rules when it came to escort missions. Although they were hired, they had to ask for the employer's opinion. The employer rarely interfered, so the opinion of the employer was just a form of courtesy. They didn't expect the fat man to not give Zhao any face. This wasn't just about Zhao, but also about the entire Blood-Edge gang. It was a very serious matter.
Because of this, the members of the Blood-Edge Gang gathered around Zhao Hai. Each and every one of them glared at the Fatty. The Fatty sat in the carriage and sneered. He didn't put Zhao Hai in his eyes at all.
Zhao Hai's expression sank. He looked at the Fatty and said, "Does the Leader mean that you don't trust us? If the Leader doesn't trust us, then the Blood-Edge Gang won't accept this mission. As long as the Leader gives us a tenth of the hiring fee, then the Blood-Edge Gang will turn around and leave. If the Leader doesn't want to do this and doesn't trust us, then I have nothing to say. I will escort the Leader along the way, but during the rest time, we will rest according to our own wishes. The Leader can also rest, but during the rest time, the Blood-Edge Gang won't be responsible for your safety. Does the Leader agree to this? "
Zhao Hai's words weren't without basis. This was because these were the rules of employment. If the employer wasn't satisfied with the person who accepted the mission, then they can give the person a tenth of the hiring fee. If the employer doesn't want to give the person a tenth of the hiring fee, then the person who accepted the mission can leave. If the employer doesn't want to give the person a tenth of the hiring fee, then the Blood-Edge Gang would have to hire the other party. The resting place along the way would be chosen by the employer. If the employer doesn't like the choice, then the two parties can live separately. But in that case, the hired person would have to pretend that he isn't in charge of the employer's safety during the rest time. This was a rule that anyone who hired or was hired before knew. It wasn't something that Zhao Hai said without reason.
