Considering that it was not long before he and Virtuoso would meet in the Abyss, Lin Huang first accepted twenty missions to hunt down fourth-rank Heavenly Gods.
"After disappearing for more than two months, he accepted twenty missions to hunt down fourth-rank Heavenly Gods as soon as he reappeared … Looks like he's either achieved another breakthrough in his combat strength, or he's been holding back."
As soon as Lin Huang accepted the missions, someone from Death's Scythe's upper echelons had already noticed his movements.
After all, with his level of genius, it would be strange if no one paid attention to him.
Lin Huang also knew that he would definitely attract attention, so he only chose fourth-rank hunting targets.
After planning his path according to distance, Lin Huang's first hunting target was a Lightning Fox.
The mission's objective was to capture this Lightning Fox alive, and the reward was two fifth-rank God Territory Shell Remnants.
The Lightning Fox in the mission was located in a battlefield ruin not far from the Devil Hunter Star Zone.
Although its combat level was only fourth-rank, it had mastered the Lightning sequence, so its speed and explosive power were rather shocking.
In fact, many Gold Sickle members of Death's Scythe had attempted this mission, but all of them had ended in failure.
After all, a reward of this level was not enough to attract high-level Gold Sickle members. However, this fourth-rank Lightning Fox's speed was already comparable to that of many sixth-rank Heavenly Gods.
The reason Lin Huang was confident of capturing it was not because he possessed the same speed, but because he felt that it was impossible for this Lightning Fox to be faster than his Divine Telekinesis.
After entering the battlefield ruin, which was usually deserted, Lin Huang immediately spread out his Divine Telekinesis and began searching for the Lightning Fox.
In less than two minutes, he found his target.
"Little thing, I've found you!"
As soon as the Lightning Fox sensed Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis probing, it turned into a bolt of lightning and fled.
The next instant, a colorless, invisible telekinetic thread wrapped itself around its right hind leg, forcibly stopping its escape.
The Lightning Fox let out a startled cry. Just as it was about to break free, a telekinetic thread wrapped itself around its neck the next instant.
It immediately quieted down because it knew that if it continued to struggle, Lin Huang could easily cut off its head.
Seeing that the Lightning Fox had stopped struggling, Lin Huang snapped his fingers without hesitation.
Several telekinetic threads wrapped the Lightning Fox into a cocoon and pulled it back to Lin Huang's side.
This task, which was almost impossible for others, was completed by Lin Huang in less than five minutes, including the time spent on the road.
"Not bad, it went smoother than expected." Lin Huang patted the Divine Telekinesis cocoon and stored it directly into the Sword Servants' foothold in his God Territory.
After giving the Sword Servants a few instructions, Lin Huang turned his attention to the second mission.
In order to maximize the efficiency of completing quests, Lin Huang was prepared to complete the 20 quests that he had already accepted in one go before submitting them.
The location of the second mission was in a star sector adjacent to the Devil Hunter Star Zone.
The mission target was a third-rank heavenly god-level pure-blooded Protoss.
The mission reward was five fourth-rank God Territory Shell Remnants.
The reason why the mission reward was so much higher than the mission target's combat strength was mainly because this pure-blooded Protoss had a small family behind him. The family head was an eighth-rank high-rank Heavenly God powerhouse.
The target was this family head's grandson.
Others might be concerned about this family, but Lin Huang did not care at all.
He also noticed that this mission was a private commission. The commission document detailed evidence that this pure-blooded Protoss had abused and killed many female Protoss.
It only took Lin Huang more than ten minutes to arrive at the nearby Siri Star Zone through the dimensional portal.
When he arrived near the target's planet, Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis quickly locked onto the target.
It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He had shoulder-length blond hair and was tall.
At the moment, he was lying naked in a bathtub with a beautiful female Protoss in each of his arms …
Suddenly, an almost invisible blood-red gleam flickered like lightning and penetrated the man's brow.
A moment later, a red dot appeared between the man's brows. Traces of blood seeped out and dripped into the bathtub along his face.
It was only then that the women on either side of him noticed something amiss and hurriedly exclaimed.
Outside the bathtub, the gatekeeper was a burly man, but he did not notice anything amiss.
He turned a deaf ear to the two women's exclamations, screams, and knocks on the door. To him, he had seen this kind of situation many times. The smartest thing to do was to stay out of other people's business.
Even though he had successfully killed the mission target, Lin Huang could not bring himself to be happy.
If he killed his prey from a distance like this, he would not be able to extract the God Territory in the target's body.
After completing the second mission in less than twenty minutes, Lin Huang did not pause at all and looked straight at the third mission …
Lin Huang completed all twenty missions in less than two days.
He found a Death's Scythe branch and turned in the mission. The mission reward was forty-six fourth-rank and seven fifth-rank God Territory Shell Remnants.
In addition to the God Territories extracted from the targets' bodies, he had accumulated more than one million and eight hundred thousand types of Rule Bending Powers.
After turning in the twenty missions, Lin Huang accepted another one hundred and fifty missions in one go, then quickly entered his second hunting mode.
This time, he completed all one hundred and fifty missions in only eighteen days.
The mission reward was four hundred and thirteen fourth-rank and thirty-four fifth-rank God Territory Shell Remnants.
In addition to the God Territories extracted from the targets' bodies, he had accumulated more than fifteen million types of Rule Bending Powers.
Seeing that it was only a few days away from his appointment with Virtuoso, Lin Huang did not accept any more missions. Instead, he set an alarm and began closed-door cultivation to refine these God Territory Shell Remnants that he had obtained.
While Lin Huang was in closed-door cultivation, Death's Scythe's upper echelons held another meeting.
In the meeting room, all seven Blood Sickle members were present. Apart from them, there were also a few peak Heavenly Gods such as Zang Tian.
More than ten of them had gathered here, mainly to discuss the final details of their trip into the Abyss.
When all the content had been discussed and the meeting was about to end, one of the Blood Sickle members suddenly said, "I've recently discovered something interesting …
"After obtaining Gold Sickle authorization, that little fellow called Xiu Mu accepted up to a hundred missions to hunt fourth-rank Heavenly Gods. Not only that, he completed all of them successfully … "
"I've also noticed this unusual behavior of his." Another Blood Sickle member next to him smiled and said, "What's strange is that the mission rewards he chose were all God Territory Shell Remnants. I don't quite understand why this little fellow is so obsessed with strengthening his God Territory. "
"There's also a possibility that his cultivation method has something to do with his God Territory." At that moment, another Blood Sickle member could not help speaking up.
The meeting room fell into a moment of silence. Prying into the roots of another person's cultivation was a taboo in the cultivation world.
However, what this Blood Sickle member had said earlier could not help but make them secretly speculate on what kind of cultivation method such a powerful Xiu Mu had cultivated.
Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, Zang Tian immediately changed the topic. "Xiu Mu is a very good seedling. Even in the universe, he'd be a peerless human prodigy! I think he'll grow into a powerful being that I can look up to in the future … "
