Chapter 35 – Blood-red email! Extortion?

Ye Sheng saw a blood-red letter.

That blood-red letter emitted a piercing red light, indicating an urgent matter that required immediate attention.

He opened the letter.

Ye Sheng looked at its contents.

A moment later.

A thoughtful expression appeared in Ye Sheng’s eyes.

This was an urgent mission, assigned to him alone!

It demanded that Ye Sheng rush to ‘Ice Wind Valley’ immediately.

The sooner, the better!

The letter mentioned that since he was the only Golden Deacon near Ice Wind Valley, the task had fallen to him.

Moreover, the mission reward was extremely generous!

An astonishing 2,000 contribution points!

Truly unbelievable!

As everyone knew, in the Contribution Pavilion, 1 contribution point was equivalent to 1 Ghost Spirit Stone.

2,000 contribution points were equivalent to 2,000 Ghost Spirit Stones.

A single piece of 2nd Revolution Dark Gold Equipment was only worth 1,500 Ghost Spirit Stones.

The other party was offering the equivalent of a piece of 2nd Revolution Dark Gold Equipment as a reward—truly a lavish gesture!

“What exactly happened? To urgently summon a Golden Deacon like this?”

Ye Sheng pondered.

Golden Deacons usually led quite leisurely lives.

Unless something major occurred, they were rarely disturbed.

But now, a Golden Deacon like him was being called into action. The situation was likely extremely troublesome.

And with such a generous reward, the mission difficulty was probably high, even extremely perilous.

“Should I accept this mission?”

Ye Sheng contemplated.

This mission was not mandatory; it was issued by a high-ranking figure within Xuanming Pavilion.

He could accept it or decline it.

Just as Ye Sheng hesitated, the mission reward suddenly increased again, reaching 3,000 contribution points!

This showed the other party’s urgency!

“This?!”

Ye Sheng was astonished!

2,000 contribution points were already a considerable amount, equivalent to a piece of 2nd Revolution Dark Gold Equipment.

But now, after only a moment of hesitation, it had risen to 3,000 contribution points.

“It seems the Xuanming Pavilion big shot who issued this mission is truly desperate!”

Ye Sheng remarked.

At the same time, it might also be related to the fact that he was the only Golden Deacon near ‘Ice Wind Valley.’

“Should I wait a bit longer? The other party is so anxious; the reward might increase again.”

Ye Sheng stroked his chin.

He wasn’t actually afraid of the mission’s danger.

With his Combat Power, as long as it wasn’t a 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm Expert, he could handle it.

After seeing the 2,000 contribution points, he had already decided to accept it.

Now that it had increased to 3,000, Ye Sheng really had no reason to refuse.

“Forget it, one should be fair!

Since the other party is in such a hurry, I’ll consider it as building good karma!”

Ye Sheng shook his head, deciding not to extort the other party.

The one issuing the mission might be a 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm big shot in Xuanming Pavilion!

Extorting them now might feel satisfying, but it could offend this big shot. In the long run, it wouldn’t be worth it!

Ye Sheng had no plans to leave Xuanming Pavilion anytime soon, so there was no need to make enemies.

Immediately, Ye Sheng stopped hesitating and directly accepted the mission.

…

“But before that, I still need to complete the ‘Blood Moon Valley’ mission first!

This Blood Moon Valley mission won’t take much effort!”

Ye Sheng leaped forward, heading into ‘Blood Moon Valley.’

Upon entering Blood Moon Valley, countless Blood Shadow Ghosts rushed toward him.

Ye Sheng paid them no mind, charging straight ahead toward the depths of Blood Moon Valley.

What was an extremely perilous place for the burly man, the bald Elder… and the other four was like Ye Sheng’s own Rear Garden.

Although the Blood Shadow Ghost was an Aberration, it was merely a 2nd Revolution Level 60 Ghost Creature, posing no threat whatsoever to Ye Sheng!

Blood Moon Grass could only be found deep within Blood Moon Valley.

Ye Sheng ventured into the depths and effortlessly obtained over twenty stalks of Blood Moon Grass.

In just over ten minutes,

Ye Sheng had already exited Blood Moon Valley, completing the mission!

If the burly man, the bald Elder, and the other two were to witness this scene, they would surely be infuriated to the point of vomiting blood.

The mission they had struggled through, risking their lives and taking nearly ten days to complete, was accomplished by Ye Sheng in just over ten minutes.

The difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth!

Having obtained over twenty stalks of Blood Moon Grass, Ye Sheng wasted no time, lest the mission fail.

The mission had been issued with such urgency, likely due to an extremely critical situation.

“Let’s head to Ice Wind Valley!”

“The distance from here to Ice Wind Valley is only a little over a thousand miles. With the speed of the ‘Ghost Mist Boat,’ we can arrive quickly.”

Ye Sheng tossed the Ghost Mist Boat into the air.

The Ghost Mist Boat expanded with the wind, instantly transforming into a 12-meter-tall Tower-Ship, hovering in mid-air.

Ye Sheng leaped onto the deck of the Ghost Mist Boat, activated it, and it transformed into a streak of swift light, speeding toward Ice Wind Valley in the northwest.

…

Just as Ye Sheng was heading to Ice Wind Valley,

the burly man, the bald Elder, and the other two were on their way back to Netherworld City.

“Everyone! Thankfully, we made it through this ordeal unscathed!”

After recovering somewhat from his injuries, the bald Elder relaxed and smiled.

The burly man also looked satisfied, “Indeed, after we return and submit this mission, we’ll receive 100 contribution points!”

100 contribution points were equivalent to 100 Ghost Spirit Stones.

Converted into Federal Coins, that would be 100 million!

The reward was quite generous, enough to compensate for the life-and-death risks they had taken.

The burly man laughed, “Everyone, from now on, the four of us are a team. We should get closer and cooperate more!”

“Of course!” the bald Elder chimed in.

This time, even the icy woman softened her expression slightly and did not object.

After their journey to Blood Moon Valley, the four of them had gained mutual recognition of each other’s strength.

She was an ice-type Ghost Mage with a frail physique.

During their time in Blood Moon Valley, the burly man and the others had protected her well.

Especially the sword-carrying youth, who had been possessed by the Blood Shadow Ghost while saving her, sustaining significant injuries.

The icy woman turned to the sword-carrying youth and asked softly, “How are your injuries?”

“Nothing serious!”

The sword-carrying youth shook his head, grinning for once, “Just a bit of Yin Energy, which I’ve already expelled.”

“That’s good! I… I owe you a favor!”

The icy woman bit her lip and said.

“We’re all part of the same team now, no need to mention such things!” the sword-carrying youth shook his head.

The burly man sighed regretfully, “It’s a pity we only have four members. If we had five, our strength would be greater, and missions would be easier!”

The icy woman sneered, “Hmph! That kid definitely won’t be able to complete the Blood Moon Valley mission this time. If he fails, he’ll be expelled from Xuanming Pavilion. Then, Xuanming Pavilion will naturally assign us a new teammate!”

The bald Elder smiled, “Yes, as long as we get another Silver Deacon, our team’s strength will be sufficient.”

Having shared a life-and-death experience, the camaraderie among the four had deepened significantly.

As they conversed, their expressions suddenly changed in unison!

The ‘Silver Deacon Tokens’ in their possession all grew hot at the same time.

The group was forced to halt, each retrieving their Silver Deacon tokens to examine.

“It’s an emergency summons!”

The burly man glanced at it, his expression shifting dramatically as he looked up.

The other three wore equally grim expressions.

They had all intended to return to Netherworld City for rest, only to suddenly receive such an urgent summons.

“Can we just ignore it?”

the icy woman asked.
