The person handing over the missions could only say helplessly, "Then there is no problem. I will give you the mission contracts later. There are two copies. After you sign them, you can leave."
After doing all this, Xiao Chen glanced through the twenty mission contracts and placed them in his Universe Ring. Then, he returned to the hall.
In the hall, a group of core disciples walked towards Xiao Chen. Their faces were filled with rage, but none of them dared to take a step forward.
In the past, when Xiao Chen was only an Inferior Grade Martial Saint, he dared to fight against the people from Gangyu Peak. Now that his strength had improved so much, he would not be afraid of them.
Xiao Chen looked at the twenty to thirty people blocking his way. He said indifferently, "Can you move aside? I want to go out."
The person leading them was a core disciple of Qianduan Peak. His name was Zhang Sheng. He was a Superior Grade Martial Saint, but he had not reached the peak. It seemed like he was the leader of this group.
"Ye Chen, with your strength, we have nothing to say if you want to take a high ranked mission. We just want to ask if you can take out your mission contracts for us to take a look so that we can redistribute them," Zhang Sheng said.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He felt it was funny. Why did he have to show his mission contracts to others?
"Sorry, I can't. There is no need for me to tell you the missions I took. I am in a rush, will you move aside or not?"
"You …" Zhang Sheng was flustered. He had already lowered his stance, yet the other party did not give him any face.
Seeing that the other party was not willing to move aside, Xiao Chen felt some anger in his heart. He stared at Zhang Sheng and interrupted him. He said coldly, "Will you move aside or not?"
Zhang Sheng looked at Xiao Chen's cold gaze and thought of the battle between him and Murong Chong. He immediately lost his confidence. He clenched his fist and retreated to the side with an unwilling expression.
Seeing Zhang Sheng retreat, the other core disciples behind him with weaker cultivations sighed and took the initiative to make way for Xiao Chen.
Ignoring the expressions of the crowd, Xiao Chen quickly left the Hall of Contributions and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Bastard, he actually took twenty black ranked missions and only left ten for us," Zhang Sheng said angrily after he and the others went up to the second floor.
Xiao Chen could not hear the angry voices of these people. Even if he could, he would ignore them. A bunch of trash. Did they really think that the Hall of Contributions was their home and that they had to accept all the missions in it?
After Xiao Chen left the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, he took out the mission contract and flipped through it. He said indifferently, "Let's start from the closest one. I found this one. Recently, Clear Breeze City has been harassed by a peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast. There are countless deaths and injuries.
Clear Wind City was a small city in the Xihe Province. It was about the same size as Mohe City, where the Xiao Clan used to be. The strongest cultivator in the city was only a Superior Grade Martial Saint.
Even with the strength of the entire city, they would not be able to eliminate this peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast. Every time a Rank 6 Spirit Beast appeared, it would disrupt the order of the city.
After taking out the map and ascertaining the direction to Qingfeng city, Xiao Chen executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. He turned into a purple beam of light and rushed at full speed.
--- Three days later, with Xiao Chen rushing at full speed, the silhouette of a small city appeared in his vision. When Xiao Chen saw this city, he smiled faintly, "They are finally here. Let's end this quickly, it is just a peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast."
When Xiao Chen entered the city, he saw five wanted posters on the city walls. Xiao Chen could not help but stop and take a look.
The wanted posters all showed his previous appearance. They were posted by the Duanmu Clan and Hua Clan, the Nanling Province's Ji Clan, the Xihe Province's Yan Clan, and the Royal Court's Guiyi Marquis.
The bounty for each clan was at least a thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Added together, it was six thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Such a horrifying amount would make any cultivator feel tempted.
"Young Hero, after looking at it for so long, do you have any news of this person?" the City Lord's Residence guard in front of the wanted posters asked.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "No, I am just curious."
The guard smiled and said, "Everyone is the same as you. When they first saw him, they were all astonished. This brat actually offended the four noble clans. He even offended the Royal Court's Guiyi Marquis."
"If an ordinary cultivator offended any of the clans, they would be in trouble. However, this brat seems to have offended half of the powers in the Great Qin Nation."
"However, it is strange. This brat has not appeared for close to a year. It is like he disappeared from the world. This caused the noble clans to increase their bounties."
"As long as we know where this person is, we will be able to obtain ten thousand gold taels and a thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. If I see this person, I will be rich. I will no longer have to work in the City Lord's Residence."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, "You will have the opportunity to see him."
After Xiao Chen spoke, he did not linger. He entered the city gates and quickly headed for the City Lord's Residence. After Xiao Chen reported his intentions to the guards, they immediately led him in and left him in the side hall.
Xiao Chen sat on a wooden chair. Just as he finished drinking a mouthful of tea, he heard urgent footsteps. The door opened with a 'zhi' sound.
Two middle-aged men entered. They were Superior Grade Martial Saints. However, the person on the left had a more profound cultivation. His aura was also much stronger than the person beside him.
When Xiao Chen looked at the attire he was wearing, he should be the City Lord of Clear Wind City. The person beside him should be his assistant.
The City Lord of Clear Wind City originally had an excited smile on his face. However, when he saw Xiao Chen, his expression immediately sank.
He asked doubtfully, "Are you really a cultivator sent by the Heavenly Saber Pavilion? Why is your cultivation so low? Furthermore, you are alone. Are you a fake?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He did not get angry or anxious. He showed his identity token to the City Lord and took out the mission contract. He said, "Heavenly Saber Pavilion core disciple, Qingyun Peak's Xiao Chen. The contract and identity token prove that I am the real deal."
The City Lord's assistant said angrily, "What is the point of sending a Medial Grade Martial Saint? There are many people in Clear Wind City waiting for you to save them. There is no need for your Heavenly Saber Pavilion to brush us off like this."
"Boom!
Boom! "As the few of them spoke, the ground suddenly trembled. The Clear Wind City Lord's expression could not help but change. He said," Oh no, that Black Flame Snake is coming again. Let's leave quickly. "
"Hu chi!" A strong wind blew by the two of them. Xiao Chen took the initiative to open the door and leave. By the time the two of them chased after him, they could not even see Xiao Chen's shadow.
The City Lord said in astonishment, "What a fast speed! Could we have made a mistake?"
The assistant at the side curled his lips and said, "So what if he is fast? The skin of that Black Flame Snake is even harder than Frost Iron. You and I are Superior Grade Martial Saints, yet we are unable to break its defense. How could he, a Medial Grade Martial Saint, do it?"
Xiao Chen executed the Gravity Spell and quickly flew towards the source of the sound. After a while, he discovered the Spirit Beast that was causing the commotion.
He saw a three-meter-wide Black Flame Snake quickly burrowing out of the ground on the wide streets of the city. It spat out black flames from its mouth, burning the surrounding houses to ashes.
The people on the streets were all terrified, running for their lives in all directions.
"Peak Rank 6 Black Flame Snake!" Xiao Chen recognized the Spirit Beast's name with one glance. He said indifferently, "However, it is only two hundred years old. It is far from fully maturing. It is far from the thousand-year-old Scarlet Crown Snake in the underground world."
Peak Rank 6 Spirit Beasts had differences in strength. Aside from the difference in bloodline, the age of the Spirit Beast determined its strength.
The longer it lived, the more horrifying its cultivation would be. If this was a thousand-year-old Black Flame Snake, even a Martial King would have trouble dealing with it.
A two-hundred-year-old Black Flame Snake was not even comparable to the Black Tuna Whale that Xiao Chen encountered in the past. It could be dealt with easily.
"Xiu!"
When Xiao Chen saw a clump of flames shooting at a little girl, he no longer hesitated. His figure flashed and he immediately landed on the ground. He carried the little girl in his embrace and quickly turned around.
"Bang!" The black flames struck Xiao Chen and exploded. A shockwave surged and instantly engulfed Xiao Chen.
This caused everyone to take in a deep breath of cold air. After the flames scattered, everyone was astonished to discover that the blue-robed Xiao Chen was completely fine.
"Thank you, Young Hero, for saving my daughter." A middle-aged woman quickly ran over and took the little girl from Xiao Chen's embrace. Then, she thanked him profusely.
Xiao Chen said, "There is no need to thank me. Leave quickly; this place is very dangerous."
After Xiao Chen spoke, he sent out a gentle energy and enveloped the two of them, pushing them to a safe distance.
"Hu chi!"
Just as Xiao Chen withdrew his hand, the two-hundred-meter-long Black Flame Snake finally emerged from the ground. Its body soared into the air.
It opened its bloody mouth and charged at Xiao Chen. Its sharp teeth gleamed with a cold light, and strands of black Qi lingered around it, making one tremble in fear.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He circulated his Qi and took a small step forward just as the huge snake's mouth was about to land.
With a loud roar, he clenched his right hand into a fist and punched the snake's neck.
"Boom!"
There was a dull sound and the Black Flame Snake's huge body immediately tumbled backward. It smashed into the rocks on the street and shattered them.
Xiao Chen did not hold back in this punch. After the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art reached the threshold of the fifth layer, he had already achieved ten thousand kilograms of force. How could his opponent endure this?
As the Black Flame Snake rolled over, it swung its huge tail ferociously.
"Drawing the Saber!"
A resplendent saber light lit up and the Black Flame Snake's body, which was as hard as Frost Iron, was neatly cut in half. Scarlet blood spurted out in the air, and the three-meter-long snake tail fell to the ground.
"Glittering Wukui!"
Xiao Chen leaped into the air and thunderclouds instantly gathered. He flicked his wrist nine times and nine strands of purple saber Qi struck the Black Flame Snake, leaving horrifying wounds on its body.
The Black Flame Snake writhed on the ground in pain, wailing in pain, leaving behind horrifying wounds. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the Black Flame Snake rolled on the ground in pain.
When the Clear Wind City Lord and his deputy rushed over, they happened to see this scene; they were astonished.
The deputy, who had just said that Xiao Chen would not be able to break the Black Flame Snake's defense, immediately felt his face heat up. He muttered, "How can this be? He is clearly only a Medial Grade Martial Saint. How can he break the Black Flame Snake's defense?"
