Chapter 708: Hurrying to Qinhuang Kingdom (2/2)
“This person’s Jian Chen, a person from a small kingdom called Gesun Kingdom. He carries a snow-white, winged tiger cub. Your task is to take the tiger cub from Jian Chen and bring it to me.” The Gilligan clan king said coldly.
The five elderly men all examined the image of Jian Chen closely, deeply engraving it into their minds. Afterwards, one of the people said, “King, I wonder what the remuneration for this is?”
The Gilligan clan king raised his hand and five glittering, fist-sized monster cores appeared. With the appearance of the monster cores, the surrounding energy of the world seem to become violent. In the surroundings of the monster cores, there even seemed to be a flowing stream of the energy of the world.
Seeing the five glittering monster cores, the five elderly men revealed unconcealed expressions of greed and lust.
The Gilligan clan king sneered slightly and said, “Here are five Class 7 Monster Cores, as a deposit. After you’re done with the task, I’ll give every one of you another two Class 7 Monster Cores.”
Gleams of light flashed brightly in the five elderly men’s eyes. They were overjoyed. With that, it meant that they could obtain three extremely precious Class 7 Monster Cores from finishing the mission. If they successfully absorbed the energy of the three magical cores, their strength would rise to another level.
“Go, do it quick and come back quick. I’ll be waiting for your good news.” The Gilligan clan king vanished, only leaving behind five glittering monster cores floating mid-air.
The five people stared covetously at the five monster cores. Afterwards, each of them took one before hurrying away.
Meanwhile in Longevity Valley, uncle Xiu squatted in the fields bare-footed, clearing away all the weeds. Suddenly a gleam of light flashed across his eyes and he said, “Xiu Mi, come over.”
Not far away, Xiu Mi who was also clearing away the weeds stood up and immediately walked to uncle Xiu. He asked doubtfully, “Father, what is it?”
Uncle Xiu produced a blood-red arrow banner and said, “We humans have five Saint Rulers who are working with the Gilligan clan king to do things that are detrimental to our race. Take my arrow banner and quickly go to the Bloodsword Sect. Get the four protectors to personally move out to kill the five traitors.”
“Father, didn’t you once swear that you would no longer interfere with the matters of the Tian Yuan Continent? Why have you…” Xiu Mi asked in suspicion.
Uncle Xiu sighed softly. He said, “This involves a lot of things. I’m unable to do anything personally because that would attract too much attention. Also, this involves Jian Chen’s safety, so I can’t just stand and watch. Jian Chen’s strength may have greatly increased, but he can’t fend off all five of them.”
Hearing how it involved Jian Chen’s safety, Xiu Mi’s expression immediately became serious. He said, “I understand. Father, I’ll go to the Bloodsword Sect and get the four protectors to move out. But just who are these five traitors?”
“Just tell the four protectors to head to Gesun Kingdom. Once they’re there, they will naturally be able to tell who the five are.” Uncle Xiu said.
