A five star mission. From the Goldflame Prefecture's Violetcloud City in the Continent of Karossa to the Thundercloud Prefecture's Godwing City in the Starmist Sea, a distance of eighteen billion kilometers. The reward was 870 million inkstones.
This was an extremely long journey. Even if one rode on the highest level of metallic lifeform, it would still take seventy or eighty years to cover the distance.
Seventy or eighty years of escorting for a reward of 870 million inkstones. To Four Star Fiends or Five Star Fiends, this was already a very high reward, because this sort of escort mission was far less dangerous than the combat missions Zhou Tong had taken on. To be able to safely take the money was more important than anything else.
But to a Six Star Fiend like Zhou Tong, it was a bit too little.
Still, Zhou Tong didn't really care about these inkstones.
The bottle of Sovereign's Might he had acquired from the Necropolis of the Gods alone was worth countless inkstones.
Walking out of the Violetcloud City, he saw that there was already an extremely high level golden dragon-shaped metallic lifeform outside the city. Zhou Tong glanced at the insignia on the metallic lifeform, then immediately walked over.
Below the metallic lifeform, an azure-haired youth, upon seeing the Fiend medallion on Zhou Tong's chest, immediately walked over and asked in a low voice, "May I ask if you have accepted an escort mission to head to Godwing City in the Starmist Sea? Do you have a token? "
"Right!" Zhou Tong nodded, while at the same time, with a flip of his hand, he produced an azure-colored jade.
Seeing this jade, the azure-haired youth immediately smiled and nodded. "Milord, please come inside. Please wait atop the metallic lifeform for a while. Once everyone is present, we will immediately depart!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, indicating for Zhou Tong to board the golden dragon-shaped metallic lifeform behind him.
By the time Zhou Tong arrived beneath the metallic lifeform, a black-robed man was already waiting for him. He was a member of the Fiend Castle. Zhou Tong had seen him countless times over the past century.
Aside from the black-robed man, there were ten or so Fiends who were being inspected as well.
"So Lord Kahn, you have accepted this mission as well?" The black-robed man stared in surprise at Zhou Tong, who was walking over.
"Let's walk around!" Zhou Tong said casually.
"Sir, please forgive us. This is the procedure of our Fiend Castle. We must check your medal to confirm your identity." The black-robed man held a crystal that emitted a purple light.
"Go ahead!" Zhou Tong nodded. There was no need to make things difficult for people who were doing routine checks.
Immediately, he placed the purple glowing crystal near Zhou Tong's chest. The purple light shone on the Devil Medal, and his serial number and star rank appeared on the Devil Medal. The black-robed man had a book in his hand, and the serial numbers of the demons participating in the mission were written on it. Soon, the black-robed man confirmed Zhou Tong's identity.
"Milord, please enter!" The black-robed man very politely invited Zhou Tong into the metallic lifeform.
This metallic lifeform was rather large. In the center was a large hall, and behind the hall were various rooms. After Zhou Tong entered, there were already more than thirty Highgod Fiends here, enjoying good food and wine.
"Lord Kahn?"
"Ah, Lord Kahn, you accepted this mission as well?"
After Zhou Tong entered, a small half of the Fiends rose to welcome him, all of them extremely respectful.
Zhou Tong nodded towards them, then casually found a quiet corner and ordered some wine, and then took out an extremely thick book from his interspatial ring, carefully reading it.
This was a book regarding the cultivation of the Edicts of Destruction, written by a Seven Star Fiend ten million years ago. This was a version that was rarely seen on the market. The Violetcloud City Governor, Guterence, immediately made a copy and gave it to Zhou Tong.
"Who is this Kahn? A God, but you call him 'Lord'? "
Just as Zhou Tong was reading, some of the nearby Fiends who didn't recognize Zhou Tong began to ask him in a low voice.
"You came from Pillsun Prefecture, so of course you don't know. Lord Kahn is a Six Star Fiend, one of the top experts of our Violetcloud City. In the past century, at least five thousand Highgods have fallen by his hands, including some Five Star Fiends and even Six Star Fiends. "A Highgod Fiend bragged.
Someone nearby spoke out as well. "Lord Kahn has been hiding his aura this entire time. Even the Governor of our Violetcloud City, a Seven Star Fiend, isn't able to see through him! With Lord Kahn on this mission, I imagine there won't be any danger on the way. "
"Right. Even our Governor, Lord Violetcloud, said that Lord Kahn's true power is most likely not beneath his own."
All of the Fiends were flattering Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong, while reading, heard a few words as well. He didn't care about these flattering words at all, only a few other things.
"They came from Pillsun Prefecture? Just to replenish their Fiends in Violetcloud City? Then that means they already lost a large number of people on their way here? It seems this trip won't be a smooth one … no wonder the price is so high. So there aren't many Fiends who are alive to take the money … "Zhou Tong murmured to himself.
"However, to me, it doesn't matter. It's not good for the trip to be too peaceful. A bit of excitement isn't bad either." Zhou Tong didn't care. No matter who the opponent was, as long as it wasn't the Great Perfection, he wasn't afraid.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, thirty more Fiends boarded the metallic lifeform.
Finally, the blue-haired youth boarded the metallic lifeform as well. He said, "A total of fifty four Fiends. Since everyone is here, we can head out now."
As he spoke, the metallic lifeform quickly activated, and with a 'swish', it disappeared into the horizons, leaving Clearlake City and heading towards Godwing City of the Thundercloud Manor in the Starmist Sea.
The metallic lifeform advanced at high speed, but the insides of the metallic lifeform didn't shake at all. Right now, all of the Fiends were within the main hall of the metallic lifeform.
At this moment, the blue-haired youth spoke out with a laugh. "Everyone, I am the person who issued this mission, Middleton. For this mission, we've specially hired a professional chef. If there's anything you want to eat, you can tell them. "
As he spoke, Middleton pointed at the four middle-aged men next to him.
"Behind the main hall is your living quarters. There are a total of fifty four rooms. In principle, each person will have one room. If you wish to live together, you can instruct the metallic lifeform to combine your rooms …"
The youth casually explained the mission as well as the situation regarding the metallic lifeform. Afterwards, the Fiends all dispersed, each choosing a room. Zhou Tong was naturally no exception.
He picked up a bottle of wine from the bar in the main hall, casually sitting by the window in his room. As he drank, he enjoyed the scenery outside, occasionally flipping through the pages of the book in his hand.
"In the Infernal Realm, most likely, there aren't many Fiends who can live as peacefully as me!" Zhou Tong looked at the large swathes of Saints fighting outside. He couldn't help but flip through the book in his hand.
But as soon as he did, he let out a cry of surprise.
"Eh? This … this should be the final piece missing from my Laws of Destruction! "
