Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 646 Task.



Chapter 646 Task.

Shi Lang taught Yu Xiedi a lot of things about how to clean up the scene. He focused on cleaning up the mess made by his intervention only and not the five from the Man Micheal’s group.

Yu Xiedi was confused and asked, “Master, you said we should clean up the scene, but there are still signs of a battle.”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I left it like this to mislead the enemy. What if the person thinks this place is a bit too clean and they suspect us? Man Micheal and his team have left the place. Now, we need to go back to our task. This will be enough to mislead them.”

Yu Xiedi nodded, and then, after Shi Lang finished looking around for the final time, they left the spot. They moved deeper into the forest, and Shi Lang moved deeper into the forest. He used the same strategy to lure and hunt the wolf pack. His speed was slower than before because, like before, he did not use the rifle to kill the beasts. He did not wish to risk the weapon and arouse the suspicious snakes hiding in the dark.

After he finished dealing with another pack of wolves, he headed back to the hideout. Yu Xiedi was awake, and she was meditating. After a few minutes, the girl opened her eyes, but before she could ask for food, a voice interrupted them.

“Excuse me, may I ask which fellow Daoist resides here?”

Yu Xiedi was shocked, and Shi Lang patted her head and gave her a message with his spirit communication. The girl calmed down and then nodded. Shi Lang got down the tree with the little girl in his arms. Yu Xiedi was scared, so she wrapped her hands around his neck.

Shi Lang looked at the people before him and noticed that they wore the same crest on the sleeves as that of the elder he killed last night. He asked calmly, “May I ask who you might be?”

The other person was a faintly smiling middle-aged man. Shi Lang sighed internally and said, ‘To think I will meet a snake.’

The person said, “I am Yang Shin. I am a guest elder from the Wang family, a big family in the Qiling City with prestige equal to the city lord.”

lightsΝοvel.cοm Shi Lang nodded and said, “I am Shi Lang. I am a Silver-grade Head Hunter. May I ask what you need, fellow Daoist?”

He directly stated his status as a silver lever head hunter so the other party knew he was not easy to deal with. Just as he predicted, Yang Shin’s eyes flickered for a moment before he nodded and turned his gaze at Yu Xiedi. He raised his brows but immediately shivered, and he sensed a killing intent radiating from Shi Lang.

He said, “Fellow Daoist, please calm down. We bear no ill will. Today, we only came here to investigate a murder related to our family.”

Shi Lang raised his brow but then frowned and asked, “Could it be that incident took place last night?”

Yang Shin was surprised but then nodded and asked, “Yes, yesternight, an Immortal Emperor made a move in the dark and killed one of the Wang Family elders.”

Shi Lang acted surprised and took half a step back. He asked with disbelief, “An immortal emperor? No wonder.”

Yang Shin narrowed his gaze, and Shi Lang sighed, “Fellow Daoist, you do not have to act like this. I am only in the initial Immortal Lord Realm, and my disciple has yet to start cultivation. Last night, I heard some conflict erupting near the stream. However, I heard someone say that an Immortal King backs them. So, I came here with my disciple.”

Yang Shin frowned. He could not say that Shi Lang was responsible for the chaos, but he was unsure what was wrong. He could tell that Shi Lang was indeed an Immortal Lord. How could a normal Immortal Lord kill a person at the peak of the Immortal King realm?”

He said, “I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shi could grace the Wang Family with his presence. Allow us to host you in the Qiling City?”

Yang Shin decided to bring this suspicious man with him. Shi Lang frowned and said, “If I refuse?”

The elder said, “What if I insist?”

Shi Lang sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist Yang, I am in the middle of a task, and if you prove to be a hindrance to the Head Hunter Organization, you must be aware of the consequences. Anyhow, if you think the head hunter organization is not good enough, I have no other ways to convince you except my fists.”

As he dropped the last few words, his aura was released, and he bought out a spear from his space ring. He held the spear in one hand and circulated lightning energy through his body. His aura was strong enough to make the entire group of people shiver.

Shi Lang did not back down in the face of five people at the peak of the Immortal Lord realm. Yang Shin narrowed his gaze, and just when he was about to say something, a flare lit up the sky. Everyone looked in that direction, but Shi Lang was focused on Yang Shin and his lackeys.

The latter said, “Xiao Gu, go rush to their aid. I will follow you.”

Then he turned to look at Shi Lang and said, “I apologize for the trouble.”

Shi Lang did not say anything as he watched the people run away. From what he knew, Man Micheal and his people were already far away, and they must not have left any signs in the forest either.

Thinking about this, he set up a fire and made some grilled meat for the little foodie in his arms. Yu Xiedi sighed and said, “Master, that guy was not a good person.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “I know. Xiao Yu, I understand that what you have suffered is not a good life, but it has also taught you very important life lessons. You can understand who is good and who is bad. That makes me feel better. At least, you will not be schemed against.”

Yu Xiedi nodded and focused on eating her food. Shi Lang continued dealing with the packs of wolves, but he was also aware that the forest was not quiet and he was not alone in the woods. The wang family has been scouring the place for any clues about the people who might be involved in the death of that elder.

Shi Lang was unbothered by it, but he was also under observation. After five days, when he finished dealing with the wolf packs, he and Yu Xiedi moved back to the city. He knew that it was not wise for him to stay in this city. So, he made a pair of clones and sent them out of the city after resting in the inn for a day.

After determining the clear cost, Shi Lang rushed to the Moon Night Diner with Yu Xiedi. He brought her straight to the big dipper private room. The young man behind the counter verified the task completion and said, “Sir, there has been a task open for all. Would you like to check it?”

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, “Task open for all?”

The young man pulled out a scroll and handed it to the terran. Shi Lang read the details and was surprised. He asked, “Is this not a bit too coincidental?”

The young man replied, “The Wangs have been colluding against the city lord for quite some time. The city lord has put up a request for a head hunter to fight against the people of the Wang family in a legitimate martial art battle. The loser will have to leave the city.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “That is mentioned in the scroll, but what is the prize?”

The young man said, “They offer two hundred high-grade spirit stones for participation. If you win a battle, they will award you with one spirit essence stone. You can select any element. If you win two battles, they award a spirit artifact of your choice.”

The terran remarked, “The city lord sure is rich.”

The young man smiled faintly. He then gazed at Yu Xiedi and asked, “Do you guys have any rooms where we can stay?”

The young man said, “You will be safe and sound in the city lord’s mansion. They do offer accommodations.”

Shi Lang nodded and left the place with Yu Xiedi. The little girl asked, “Master, what are we going to do?”

The terran replied, “We will earn Xiao Yu some good treasures.”

Yu Xiedi was confused and gazed at him in askance. Shi Lang did not reply and smiled gently at her. Soon, they reached the City Lord Mansion, and the terran found that the place was akin to a palace. He approached the gates, and the guard raised his spear. He said loudly, “Stop! Who are you?”

Shi Lang smiled and replied, “I am Ace, I came here to participate in the task issued by your city lord.”
