Chapter 79 - Agreement (1/2)

The distance between the Poison Quarry and Fortuna city was several hundred thousand kilometers. It took Hao Xuan almost an entire week along with other Mad Saints to make this journey on their mounts which were capable of covering hundreds of kilometers an hour.

Yet it took Jin Wang a little above 4 hours until the Fortuna City was already in sight. With his massive Winged Dragon Horse he went straight towards the Red Legion headquarters but was stopped by the city's protective barrier. Taking out his identity token he held it up high and a ray of yellow light shot out towards the barrier, opening a hole big enough for his mount to fly through.

To not draw attention he was flying at an altitude of 600 meters. It took another 5minutes until he could see the military compound and once reaching it he stored the Dragon Horse away, falling straight down.

Falling from a height of 600 meters, although wouldn't be dangerous for a Spirit realm cultivator, it would make quite an impact. Yet when he was less than three meters away from the ground, an invisible force propelled him upwards with enough force to cancel out his momentum and he landed as lightly as a feather.

He was in front of a small villa with a single guard outside. The guard was not taken aback even a bit by Jin Wang's sudden appearance and only glanced at him once. Jin smiled at the guard and walked past him towards the door.

The guard still did nothing and just stood in his place like a statue.

*Knock*knock*

He knocked on the door and stepped back. A few seconds later the door was opened by a pretty maid. She greeted Jin Wang with nothing but a strange look in her eyes and simply led him towards a courtyard where an elderly man was sitting under a tree with a book in his hands.

Before the maid could say anything the elder's voice came from behind the book, ”What brings you here?”

The maid bowed towards the elder's direction and silently left. Jin Wang casually walked towards the old man and sat down on the chair opposite to him.

”I agree to your terms, on one condition,” he said nonchalantly. The elder put down the book and Jin Wang could finally see his four eyes. Yes, this was the leader of the Red Legion, the Demon of Mei, Great General Li Jing.

”Why the sudden change of heart?” the general asked with a raised eyebrow.

”I found something interesting,” was the only response he got. There was silence for about 2-3 minutes.

”Alright, as long as its nothing too overbearing, I accept,” the general said after thinking it through.

”Haha, its nothing like that. One of your little leaders was in charge of the unit I was in. I'm sure you're aware,” Jin Wang said breaking out into laughter.

”Ninth, Yes.”

”He fought Jia's hidden prince head on and is in a bad condition. I need you to help him,” when the general heard his demand his brows furrowed to the extreme. He had known Jin Wang for several years and not once did he do something that was not completely selfish. So he couldn't help but ask, ”Why?”

”No reason. He's just very entertaining to watch,” Jin Wang replied with a grin.
