This place is fun

Chapter 156 Mission
There were quite a few people at the entrance of the valley. Not only did the great demon Fu Sheng directly reveal his original form of a giant python that was thirty meters long and two meters in diameter, but Ao Jiu, Niu Er, Jian Bai, Zi Yu, Lang Yan and others were also there.

In the past, everyone had dealt with Huang Zhu Jushi a lot, and the biggest impression was that he was arrogant and aggressive. Relying on the power of the Huang Zhulin tribe, he was arrogant wherever he went. Especially in Xianlai Town, as long as he appeared, he would be surrounded by people and had an extraordinary style. If ordinary people wanted to squeeze over to say hello, it would depend on whether you were qualified.

Unexpectedly...

Seeing Huang Zhu's terrified face, Zi Yu, Jian Bai and other women couldn't help laughing. Niu Er, Lang Yan, Ao Jiu and others also watched the fun with a smile.

Although his face was already red, at this moment, Ke Lizhi no longer cared about shame. Anyway, with the fog covering his face, no one could see what he looked like. He said repeatedly: "I surrender, don't kill me. I will pay the ransom, I will pay the ransom..."

What surprised Ke Lizhi was that his lightning-fast plea for mercy seemed to have worked. Fu Sheng, who had instantly sent him out of the spiritual realm several times before, did not kill him this time. Instead, he turned into a human form.

"Get up," Fu Sheng said coldly, "Mr. Qi wants to see you."

"Mr. Qi?" Ke Lizhi was stunned, and then he understood. Isn't this Mr. Qi the old scholar from the Gurong tribe? The old guy is also a spirit monster, but he has no fighting power. He is responsible for teaching in the Gurong tribe. Many spirit monster children from the nearby tribes are also sent to the Gurong tribe to study. Therefore, this old spirit monster has a high reputation among the spirit monsters.

"Okay, okay." Ke Lizhi thought that he just wanted to talk about the ransom, so he agreed immediately. He stood up awkwardly and followed Fusheng to the Gurong tribe.

After entering the tribe, Fusheng led Ke Lizhi into a courtyard, told him to stand there and wait, and then turned and walked out.

Ke Lizhi looked around. The courtyard was quiet. After Fusheng left, he stayed under a tree outside the courtyard gate. A few spirit children came to peek in and watch the fun, but he drove them away.

Standing in the yard, for some reason, Ke Lizhi always felt that a pair of eyes were observing him.

With his life in the hands of others, Ke Lizhi dared not even breathe a word.

A moment later, an old scholar in a long gown, holding a book in his hand, slowly walked out of the room.

"Mr. Qi," Ke Lizhi hurriedly greeted him, "I was stupid and arrogant, and even dared to covet the Gurong tribe. I really deserve death. I will remember today's lesson in my heart and will never dare to offend again. I hope you can show mercy and say a good word to Mr. Tan on my behalf..."

"Mr. Tan?" Mr. Qi smiled contemptuously, looking Ke Lizhi up and down and said, "It seems that you still haven't figured out the rules of this spiritual realm. Do you really think that Mr. Tan is the master here?"

Huh? Ke Lizhi's eyes widened.

The sudden appearance of the man who would chop down a person if they couldn't reach an agreement, as well as his amazing weapon, have now become the topic of concern in the entire Spirit Realm. There are countless people outside asking about this person. And the tribes in Xianlin Town are already in his hands, and it has long been known to everyone.

Ke Lizhi had always thought that the way to deal with him was to chop him off if they couldn't reach an agreement, but he didn't expect that after listening to what Mr. Qi said...

Ke Lizhi was confused, but he saw Mr. Qi coming down the stairs and walking around him twice, with a half-smile on his face. He felt a little scared for a moment, and said with a folded hand: "I am stupid, please teach me, Mr. Qi..."

"I dare not teach you, but what I can tell you is that you know nothing about true power." Mr. Qi stopped in front of Ke Lizhi, and the smile on his face became more playful. "You are still too young, my friend Ke Lizhi."

With a loud bang, Ke Lizhi felt as if he was struck by lightning.

He stared at Mr. Qi in disbelief, unable to believe that his real name came out of the mouth of this old demon. At this moment, looking at Mr. Qi's mouth with a long white beard, he felt as if he saw a dark hole that led to hell.

"First...what did you say, sir...I..." Ke Lizhi forced a smile, wanting to refute or deny, but he gave up before the words came out.

The fact that the other party could call out his name so accurately was something he couldn't deny.

Moreover, I was caught off guard and my mind was in a state of panic. How was my fear and stuttering any different from admitting it?
"What? Are you scared?" Mr. Qi smiled and patted Ke Lizhi on the shoulder. "Don't be afraid. No one knows your real name except the organization and me."

"Organization?" Ke Lizhi's heart was shocked.

In the spiritual realm, various organizations emerge one after another. He himself joined the Burning Heaven Society, and it was with the help of the Burning Heaven Society that he reached this point. Therefore, he knows better than anyone the power of a powerful organization.

"Of course it's the organization," Mr. Qi said calmly, "Otherwise, do you think a newcomer like Xiao Tan can have such great power? Even if he is gifted, where does his spiritual essence come from? Why can we spirit monsters help him? Also, you don't think that the mind-refining weapon he controls can be created by a young newcomer like him, right?"

Almost every word Mr. Qi said hit the most vulnerable part of Ke Lizhi's heart.

In fact, until now, Ke Lizhi has not accepted the reality.

He was also a newcomer, and no one knew better than him how difficult it was for a newcomer to survive in the spiritual realm.

As Mr. Qi said, shouldn't newcomers worry about the 20 spiritual essences they need to enter the spiritual realm each time? Shouldn't they be careful to maintain a balance between income and expenditure? Shouldn't it take a year or two to adapt, to find their own battle spirits, to get to know and even please veterans, so as to gain a foothold in the spiritual realm?

But what if we can’t reach an agreement?
When I first met him, he only knew how to plant armor and didn't even have a war spirit. But when I came this time, he had already ruled the entire Xianlai Town area.

If he was told that all this was achieved by a newcomer on his own, Ke Lizhi would never believe it.

Now Mr. Qi's words made him suddenly realize.

At this moment, Ke Lizhi found that his body was shaking uncontrollably. He didn't know whether it was excitement or trembling. An organization that knew his true identity in reality, an organization that could create monsters like "chop if no agreement is reached", an organization that could drive big monsters like Mr. Qi and Fu Sheng... He couldn't imagine how powerful it was.

Even the Burning Heaven Society cannot know my identity!
"I don't know what you want to tell me..." Ke Lizhi swallowed hard and bowed respectfully, "If you have any orders, I will do my best."

You are very aware of the current affairs.

Mr. Qi nodded approvingly and said, "Since I asked you to come here and tell you all this alone, I want to show you a clear path...Have you heard of Shangqing Palace?"

Ke Lizhi shook his head in confusion and awe.

"Shangqing Palace is our organization," Mr. Qi said with a smile, "Originally, with your deeds and qualifications, you would never hear this name in your life. But as the saying goes, time and fate determine everything, and you are a lucky person."

Then he asked, "Have you been in Yishan City in the northern county of Xiazhou these days?" Knowing where he was, Ke Lizhi was filled with despair and fear. He didn't even have a chance, so he answered respectfully, "Yes. Now that the You Clan has invaded, I followed my master to join the army and fight together. I just arrived in Yishan City."

"Well," Mr. Qi nodded and said, "So you are lucky. Originally, there was a mission in the palace to send people to Yishan City. Now that you are there... I don't know..."

Upon hearing this, Ke Lizhi immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Ke Li is willing to serve Shangqing Palace, and will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Even a fool would know that if someone knew his real name, identity, and current whereabouts, it was like holding his life in their hands. If they really wanted to deal with him, there would be no need to resort to any other tricks.

Once his identity was revealed, the demons, the enemies of Yuanshan Tower, and his enemies in reality would all come to him like a tide. Unfortunately, he was killed ten times a day, and he still didn't know who killed him. Moreover, no matter what he did or what he got in the spiritual world, people could always find him in the real world.

That would be fatal to any extraordinary warrior.

Therefore, in Ke Lizhi's view, the hint revealed by Mr. Qi was not a temptation of playing hard to get, but a ladder to heaven for him to climb out of the abyss of hell!

"Oh?" Mr. Qi asked, "Then are you willing to join Shangqing Palace?"

"Yes!" Ke Lizhi bent his waist even deeper, his heart pounding. He didn't expect that he was originally an opponent who would be killed if they couldn't reach an agreement, but now there is a sudden turn of events. Not only was he not killed, but he had the opportunity to join the same organization with the opponent.

"Well, that's good. From now on, I will be your boss. You and I will have a single line of communication. You must not reveal a single word about the organization's affairs to the outside world. Do you understand?" Mr. Qi said sternly.

"I understand!" How could Ke Lizhi not understand?

"From the Burning Heaven Society, Yuanshan Tower, and even your Ke family in Emerald City, if there is any news that the palace needs, you must not conceal even a single thing," Mr. Qi asked, "Can you do that?"

"Yes!" Ke Lizhi gritted his teeth.

"Okay, get up." Mr. Qi extended his hand to help Jian Ke up, and then he said, "The task assigned to you by the palace this time is also very simple... In fact, this task should not have fallen on you. But you are lucky, you came at the right time, and your identity, age and other aspects are more convenient..."

Ke Lizhi asked, "I wonder what Mr. Qi needs to be determined to do?"

"There is a noble family in Yishan City, named Su. The second son of the Su family is named Su Daoshan, and he is now the direct disciple of Han Gu," Mr. Qi asked in a low voice, "Do you know this person?"

Ke Lizhi's eyes widened immediately, and he nodded quickly, "I know. I met this person today."

"Oh? Are you related to him?" Mr. Qi asked, his eyes lighting up.

Ke Lizhi shook his head and quickly explained, "We only met once, but we didn't know each other. However, now that he and I are both in Yishan City and are both disciples of the same sect, there are many opportunities for us to interact with each other."

He didn't know why Shangqing Palace mentioned Su Daoshan, so he naturally didn't dare to mention what happened during the day, let alone say that he had actually been inciting the sect's disciples to isolate and deal with this kid.

"This person is involved in a major event planned by the palace," Mr. Qi was a little disappointed when he saw Ke Lizhi shaking his head, but he still explained, "Your mission is to get as close to him as possible, make friends with him, and even please him at all costs, so that he will lose his vigilance against you..."

The more he listened, the wider Ke Lizhi's eyes opened: "Huh?"

"What's the matter?" Mr. Qi noticed that his tone was wrong and stared at him warily, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "What's the problem?"

"No...no..." At this moment, Ke Lizhi wished he could slap himself ten times. Seeing Mr. Qi's cold eyes, his mind raced, and he also made a cold face as if he understood something, and stretched out his palm to make a knife gesture.

"But..."

"Absolutely not," Mr. Qi shook his head. "Before you get any clues from him in the palace, not only can you not touch him, but on the contrary, you have to ensure that he is alive at all costs. Do you understand? Even if you die, he cannot die!"

Ke Lizhi swallowed hard and nodded, "I understand."

After that, he quickly asked, "Sir, what clues do you want me to get from this person?"

"There are two clues. The first one is that you have to ask him to tell you where Qingcheng Mountain is!" Mr. Qi raised a finger, then raised a second finger and said seriously, "Ask him what it means to eat rice without shelling it."

These two questions left Ke Lizhi completely confused.

The first question was reasonable. Although he had never heard of Qingcheng Mountain, he thought it must be a secret place. As for the second question, he couldn't even figure it out.

"Do you remember?" Mr. Qi asked.

Ke Lizhi was startled and nodded quickly, saying, "I'll remember it."

"Okay!" Mr. Qi nodded, stretched out his hand, took out two 50-spiritual fruit, handed them to Ke Lizhi, and said, "These 100 spiritual fruits are the reward from the palace. As long as you do your job well, you can get any spiritual resources you want. Now, I have reserved a position for you in the Huangzhulin tribe."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi!" Ke Lizhi was overjoyed.

"Remember," Mr. Qi warned at last, "you must do your best, at all costs. As long as you can get close to him and please him, no matter what he asks, you must do it. If you can't do it, come to the Spirit Realm and tell me, I will find a way to solve it. However, if you come to me for everything..."

Mr. Qi stopped talking here and just looked at Ke Lizhi indifferently.

"I understand." Ke Lizhi gritted his teeth and clasped his fists, saying, "From this moment on, I will treat him like a close relative and will not let the palace down!"

Let’s fight! Su Daoshan, you are my father!
