"General!"
Outside the mountain, Zhong Ting, He Zihai, and Niu Yong were waiting. Seeing that Wu Ming had brought Li Rubi's severed head, they were overjoyed.
"Yes! Whiten this head and offer it to Wang Xuanfan's tent through the channels. Also, offer a generous gift to express your sincerity … Just say that we don't seek merit. We just want a place to stay! "
Wu Ming touched the dragon ball in his arms, and he had an idea in his heart.
Wang Xuanfan was a tolerant person. He had also bribed them with a large sum of money, opened the channel, and offered the severed head. Furthermore, he had the protection of the Imperial Qi and was not greedy for merit. This time, he would definitely succeed!
As for himself, he only wanted to escape from his crime and have a good background. Relying on the imperial court's system, the evil aura outside would definitely dissipate by more than half. It would no longer be a problem.
He immediately brought his troops and sought refuge with Wang Xuanfan.
At this time, Wang Xuanfan had already entered Nine Mountains City and stayed at the side of the general's residence. Seeing the ashes next to him and hearing the news of Li Rubi's escape, his mood was a bit depressed. He even offered a large sum of money to capture him at all costs.
"Sigh … this person is so unwise!"
Wang Xuanfan looked at the horizon and sighed.
If Li Rubi still established his own army and escaped now, the imperial court would use this matter. Perhaps they could issue a wanted order on the surface, and it would be over.
However, brazenly proclaiming himself king now was challenging the sensitive nerves of the emperor and the officials of the imperial court. They would definitely kill his entire clan and hack him into pieces.
At this time, in Nine Mountains City, Li Rubi's entire clan had already been captured. Not a single one was missing. They were just waiting to be reported and publicly punished.
However, without Li Rubi, this merit would not be complete and would even be criticized.
Wang Xuanfan's face was a bit melancholy when he thought of this.
"Report! The enemy general has surrendered and is offering the severed head of Li Rubi! "
At this time, a person came in with a face full of joy.
"What?"
Wang Xuanfan stood up and even the teacup on the table was lifted and fell to the ground. It was a mess, but he did not care at all. "Have you confirmed it?"
"I have already found a servant girl in the residence and confirmed it. They all said that it is indeed the severed head of Li Rubi!"
That person said, "The one who offered the severed head is also the recently promoted Commander Lie Shan. He joined the Nine Mountains army for less than three months …"
"Hey! This Li Rubi can also be considered an ambitious and ruthless person. Death is at hand, yet he's becoming more and more muddle-headed … "
Wang Xuanfan shook his head in disdain.
"Also … General Wu said that he defected this time for the survival of his subordinates. Even if Marshal wants him to give up his armor and return to the fields, he is willing …"
"So, he doesn't want any contribution points …"
Wang Xuanfan paced a few steps, and a look of excitement appeared on his face. "This person is not bad … Did he really say that?"
The other party had only joined the team for a short period of time, and he already had some contempt in his heart. Now, he actually didn't want to fight for credit.
Killing Li Rubi was a great achievement! It had only been a night, and he could even say that he was the one who killed him.
"It's absolutely true!"
It was unknown how much this person had received, but he was reporting like this.
"That's good! Since this person is sincere, I will accept him. Tell him that although there are traitors, they are not too evil. In the future, remember to be loyal to the imperial court, and I will definitely reward him! "
Wang Xuanfan was in a good mood at this time and said without thinking.
"Yes, sir!"
The person who reported bowed and left with a smile on his face.
Such a small matter and he could get a share of the contribution points. Moreover, the gold, silver, and jewelry in the tent were also safe. It was really a big profit.
…
"Sir, you have escaped from this calamity. In the future, you can fly as high as the sky!"
On the wilderness, a group of people and horses were galloping. Zhong Ting congratulated Wu Ming.
"This is a great favor from the imperial court. I didn't expect that they would actually appoint me as a county officer …"
Wu Ming touched the pearl in his arms and was somewhat emotional. The power of fate in this world was actually so strong, and the Dragon Qi was even more successful.
This time, he respectfully presented his severed head and also bribed Wang Xuanfan with a large amount of money. This made Wang Xuanfan very happy. Not only did he not punish him, but he also pardoned the previous matter and let bygones be bygones.
Moreover, after meeting him once, he was quite fond of him. After a few days, a military order arrived, but it was to appoint him as the county officer of Cang Lang County.
This county officer was the commander of the county's soldiers. He had a rank from the sixth rank to the sixth rank. In the county, his position was second only to the county governor and the county minister.
Moreover, he also wielded martial power and had a lot of say in chaotic times.
This was probably the result of Wang Xuanfan's belief that Wu Ming had led troops before and would be useful.
However, this was not what Wu Ming paid attention to.
He opened his spiritual eye and saw that the Nine Mountains Army's providence above his head had long disappeared. Instead, a thick red and yellow aura surged over and filled the air.
This was the providence brought by the rank of a primary sixth rank county officer.
The outermost layer of grayish-black aura had mostly dissipated, and the remaining bit was continuously being worn away by the imperial court's providence.
"This calamity is a great calamity for me. However, for the entire imperial court, even if it is in decline, it can be easily worn away …"
When Wu Ming saw this, he felt a little emotional. "It's just that … how can it be so easy for a cultivator to change allegiance? If it wasn't for the Tai Sui Evil Suppressing Talisman, I'm afraid I would've been seriously ill when the army was defeated … In fact, if I didn't have the influence of the Dragon Qi on me, anyone could've said anything. Even if Wang Xuanfan didn't like me and killed me because he didn't like me … "
"However, now that it's done, it's really like a dragon returning to the sea. From now on, everything will be bright …"
When Wu Ming saw Zhong Ting, He Zihai, and the others crowding around him, he smiled.
The mission was done, and the Tribulation Qi had dissipated. Next, he would go to the county and make arrangements for his subordinates. After that, he could 'hang up the seal' and leave in a carefree manner.
"Liang Yuan might be nice, but it's still not my hometown …"
A leisurely sigh slowly rang out.
…
"Overgod Palace, conclude this mission!"
With a flash of white light, Wu Ming directly appeared in the Overgod Space.
A pillar of light automatically enveloped him. It was the treatment of free treatment. It would be a waste not to use it.
Layers of pictures appeared around Wu Ming, and they were all scenes of the mission.
After a while, the light screen stopped at Wu Ming's appearance when he became a county lieutenant, and a bunch of data appeared:
[The world you've experienced is the Stellar World. Calculating mission …]
[Side Mission: Join! — Completed! Received 100 Small Merit Points!]
[Main Mission: Rule the System! Failed! No reward!]
[Total Merit Points: 100 Small Merit Points!]
The dismal income made Wu Ming smile bitterly. "If there aren't any other items in the account, it's really bad this time …"
He then turned to look at his own personal attributes.
[Reincarnator Serial Number: Geng Shen 69]
[Name: Wu Ming]
[Cultivation: Level 3 of the Human Celestial Stage, Level 6 of the Innate Stage]
[Equipment: Dark Gold Bracelet, Dustless Robe]
[Title: Apostle of the Overgod]
[Reincarnator with the title of Apostle of the Overgod will receive the following privileges:
A. Receive information on Reincarnation missions three days in advance!
B. Receive 5,000 Small Merit Points for free healing at the end of every mission!
C. Receive True Vision and waive the cost of exchanging Merit Points!
D. Receive the right to waive the penalty for failing the main mission once every three Reincarnation missions!
E. Can choose to reduce the difficulty of the mission by one fold or double the reward for every mission!]
"The authority of Apostle of the Overgod has increased … That is to say, the authority that Young Lord Yu has is only about a quarter of what I originally had …"
Wu Ming touched his chin. "Immediately exercise authority! Reward increase! "
[Ding! Respected Number: Geng Shen 69, Apostle of the Overgod, your reward for this mission has been doubled to 200 Small Merit Points!]
The Overgod responded immediately. Wu Ming wanted to cry. "My foundation is too low. It's useless even if it's doubled. What a pity … If I had completed the main mission, it would have been 400 Small Merit Points!"
But soon, he realized that he was too greedy.
Young Lord Yu had hidden his strength well, and his real strength was far above him. If he didn't use the Overgod's "Obliteration", it was hard to say who would be the winner.
"However …"
Wu Ming's hands glowed, and a few items appeared. His face was filled with excitement. "That Young Lord Yu, with this authority, will definitely earn a lot from every mission. I wonder what surprises he will bring me. Overgod's Temple, appraise!"
The pillar of light descended, and the first thing it enveloped was naturally the crystal-clear pearl with the shadow of a snake in it.
[Item Name: Suihou Pearl]
[Description: The ancient 'In Search of Supernatural' says: Marquis Sui went out and saw a large snake. He was injured and cut off. He suspected that it was supernatural and ordered people to seal it with medicine. The snake can walk. Because of this, it is known as the 'Broken Snake Mound'. Over the years, the snake holds the pearl in its mouth to repay him. The pearl is small and pure white. At night, it is bright, like the illumination of the moon, and can be used as a candlelight room. Therefore, it is known as the Marquis Sui Pearl, also known as the Spirit Snake Pearl and the Bright Moon Pearl!]
[Exchange Price: 100 Heavenly Merit Points!]
[Note: This pearl is a dragon pearl. It can contain luck and contains Dragon Energy. This item can be recycled and exchanged for 200 Heavenly Merit Points. Do you want to hand it over to the Overgod's Temple?]
"Suihou Pearl …"
Wu Ming was shocked.
In his previous life, the Suihou Pearl and He Shi Bi were known as the two most valuable treasures. They were priceless, but the Suihou Pearl had long been lost. He didn't expect the Overgod's Temple to have an exchange for it!
Perhaps only that prodigal Young Master Yu would be willing to exchange for it.
"But … there are also rumors that the snake that Suihou saved was the son of a dragon and had the nature of a dragon! The pearl in its mouth was also a dragon pearl. Perhaps … Young Master Yu valued this and purposely exchanged for it to collect luck? What a meticulous plan … "
"If Young Master Yu brought this Dragon Energy to Dazhou, he might really be able to rise … Unfortunately, it was mine in the end …"
Of course, Wu Ming didn't hesitate to keep it. He wouldn't casually hand it over to the Overgod's Temple.
After all, this was the hard currency of merit points. Even the Overgod's Temple needed it. Even if he didn't have the ambition to become a Marquis, he could still keep it to protect his value.
In fact, when he ran out of merit points, he could still exchange it out. In short, he wouldn't lose anything.
"Also …"
Thinking of the Dragon Gate Gathering in Dazhou, Wu Ming held the Suihou Pearl in his hand with a playful expression.
