Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 540

Ye Shuo, who was unanimously judged by Qianyuanzong's disciples as "more bad luck than good luck", is still alive and well, and at this time, he and Xu Yuan have returned to the mercenary union.

From a distance, the two saw a group of mercenaries headed by Feng Yu waiting at the entrance of the hall. When they saw them, they immediately showed an unprecedented bright smile.

"Ye Shuo, Xuyuan, come here, come in quickly." Feng Yu took the initiative to welcome the two of them in, and when they were still confused, he said with a smile on his face: "I know everyone has added a lot to you before." Less trouble, but I promise, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future! We are all good brothers in the same trade union, and we should get along in harmony in the future—"

"Then our room?" Just as Xu Yuan asked, Feng Yu quickly responded: "Of course, of course, I have ordered you to change to the ordinary mercenary dormitory, and I will have your luggage moved there." gone."

He suddenly became so considerate...Ye Shuo looked thoughtfully at the people across from him, and everyone was watching his expression nervously, lest he would be dissatisfied...It seems that Qian Yuanzong must have spoken.

Ye Shuo didn't believe that someone who could do such a thing would suddenly find out his conscience.So, even the suzerain thinks Mogu City is too noisy?It seems that there are still a few sensible people in the big sect.

"This time you have completed the SS-level mission, plus the previous points, it is enough to be promoted to a one-star mercenary." Feng Yu said, holding up a device and scanning the badges on the chests of the two, which were originally dim The number "0" slowly changed to "1".

"As for the commission this time, the total is 20 spirit crystals, and I have already transferred them to your account."

In some large commercial firms, due to the large amount of funds that are circulated every day, they are no longer limited to the trading of bulk spirit stones.On the first day of each employee's employment, the commercial bank will apply for a magic crystal card on their behalf, which is regarded as opening an account in the bank. With this, money can be saved and transferred easily.

The most influential bank in the Spirit World Continent is naturally controlled by the Mohist family. It is no wonder that they have always occupied the leading position in the shopping malls.

All users who have Magic Crystal Card can get a certain amount of interest income every month according to the account balance.But since Ye Shuo joined the mercenary union, he got up early and worked late every day, and only earned a few steamed buns.As for interest, it is even more negligible.

However, it was stated at the beginning that the reward was 200 million spirit crystals, how could it be reduced to one-tenth in a blink of an eye?

"Let's be clear first, it's really not me cheating you this time." Seeing Ye Shuo frowning, Feng Yu immediately guessed what he was thinking, "The original reward was indeed 200 million spirit crystals, but now You killed the employer yourself, so there is only 20 left. This is the deposit. You don’t know that the rules of our mercenary union are to pay one-tenth of the deposit first, and then pay after the task is completed. In full."

These words are not false... Ye Shuo pondered.But being able to kill Luo Dixing already exceeded the value of 180 million spirit spars for him.It's just that the cost of materials is still insufficient, so he has to stay in the mercenary union for a while...

"However, killing the employer on the way to complete the task, will this affect the reputation of our union?" Li Dongxu questioned.

He is Feng Yu's little follower, and also a two-star mercenary who is about to be upgraded.I am used to helping with daily affairs when I am busy, and I am the first to think for the trade union in case of trouble.

"Is there nothing wrong? Qian Yuanzong didn't say anything?" Feng Yu thought for a moment, then waved his hand generously, "Anyway, the employer has no power or power, and no one has reported to the official for so many days. Just die."

Although the trade union's calm attitude is beneficial to him, Ye Shuo still felt the alarm bell ringing in his heart.

If it was me who died today, in their mouths, it should be nothing more than "I will die if I die".This world is really scary.Also without any background, I must improve my strength to a level worthy of the world's attention as soon as possible.Otherwise, one day it will really come up, and there is not even a place to reason...

……

From that day on, Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan finally lived a normal life as mercenaries.The two of them worked hard to take on the tasks every day, and exchanged the cheats in the library for the remaining points.Feeling the continuous growth of strength and the balance in the account going up and down, it always makes the two of them full of hope for a new day.

As for Feng Yu and the others, Ye Shuo knew that they were only sent by Qian Yuanzong at the beginning, since they didn't see each other when they looked up, he didn't want to make the relationship too rigid.When you are free, everyone will occasionally get together for a drink.

After a few months, both Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan were promoted to three-star mercenaries, and each account had accumulated 100 million spirit spars.When the two of them were confidently ready to take on the task again, Feng Yu suddenly announced to call all three-star mercenaries to discuss matters.

"That's it. Now there is another SS-level mission here. Since the four-star and five-star mercenaries are not available, the above means that all three-star mercenaries must participate."

"Four and five star mercenaries don't have time, are they here just for display?" Xu Yuan whispered to Ye Shuo.

"To put it bluntly, the task this time is not difficult. It is to go to the Manghuang Plateau of Beijing Country to find an ancient red-flame tree and pick the ancient red-flame fruit. You may encounter obstacles from other forces on the way. Due to the importance of the mission, This time it will be carried out jointly with several friendly sects in neighboring countries. Qianyuanzong will also send people to follow up the whole process."

"Since it's just a small task, why is there such a big fanfare?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.

Feng Yu glanced at him, then turned to all the mercenaries, and said: "The ancient red flame tree was once a sacred tree of the demons thousands of years ago. It bears fruit every hundred years. The energy contained in the fruit is very important for improving the cultivation of the demons." It is very helpful.

Originally, this tree only grew in an ancient forest called 'Forest of Scarlet Flame', but after the fall of the six emperors of the demon clan, the demon clan invaded on a large scale, and finally occupied the forest of red flame.Since then, attempts have been made to cultivate the tree outside.

Strange to say, when the ancient Chiyan tree was stripped of its name as the sacred tree of the demon clan, it gradually went to the countryside to follow the customs, and the fruits it produced could also be eaten by humans.Therefore, every time there is a fight over the Chiyan ancient fruit, there will be a lot of disputes. "

"But the Six Royal Demon Lords already..." Hearing this, Xu Yuan was busy showing off his first-hand information.

Feng Yu waved his hand at him, and continued: "Although the violent energy in the ancient red flame fruit has subsided a lot, in the final analysis, it is still the most helpful to the demons. Therefore, our potential enemies must Count the demons as well.

At the same time, after the resurrection of the Six Royal Demon Lords, he focused on the nourishment of the primordial spirit. This ancient red flame fruit is of great benefit to him, and he is likely to come to intervene.Speaking of this, I think everyone should understand.Those complex forces are nothing to worry about, Qianyuanzong's solemnity this time is mainly to guard against the six imperial demon kings. "

A few months later, Li Dongxu was also promoted to a three-star mercenary.At this time, he interjected: "Wait, there is one thing we need to reach a consensus on first. If the Six Royal Demon Lords really appear, what shall we do? Are we going to fight him desperately?"

Feng Yu smiled wryly, motioned everyone to bring their heads closer, and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you guys about this in private... If you really see him, then what's the use of your life, run away! How far to run!"

When all the mercenaries heard the words, they all showed an "understanding" snigger.Obviously, the proposal of "flying separately when disaster strikes" is quite to their liking.

Even the birthplace of the sacred tree of the family was taken away by others. It seems that the fall of the Six Royal Demon Kings really hit the demons hard... Ye Shuo thought to himself.No wonder they didn't go to war against the human race. It turned out that they were also suffering from the fierce pursuit of the monster race, internal and external troubles.

Under the superficial balance of the various races, there are really countless undercurrents buried. Those ambitious rulers are always planning to annex other races and compete for more territories.

It's just that the thousand years of time should be enough for the demons to recover, why they still haven't taken back the forest of red flames...?
Xu Yuan's focus is on the other side: "Qianyuanzong is also sending someone...Then Brother Ye, the person you said to trip you up before, will he also come?"

"I think... probably not." Ye Shuo sneered slightly.Mo Gucheng is in Qianyuanzong, but he is a real big shot. How could he come here in person for such a trivial matter?
In the early morning of the next day, except for those who had already been tasked, all the remaining three-star mercenaries in the union gathered in front of the gate, waiting for Qian Yuanzong to come.

Counting Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan, there were ten mercenaries participating in this trip.In order to show the good image of the trade union, Feng Yu took the time to train everyone's standing posture, and must show a vigorous appearance in front of the envoys.

Not long after standing there, two figures appeared on the stone steps in front of the hall, both of whom had Qianyuanzong's coat of arms embroidered on them.

As Ye Shuo expected, Mo Gucheng did not participate in this mission. One was an elegant young man in his twenties, and the other was a cute girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old with high ponytails. Moving forward, the braids are constantly beating on the shoulders, with a youthful vitality.

Feng Yu took the initiative to greet him, bowed slightly, and smiled skillfully: "Welcome you two. On behalf of the Mercenary Union, I send my greetings to the Sovereign, Brother Gucheng."

Ye Shuo slightly raised his eyebrows.It seems that Mo Gucheng's status in Qianyuanzong is higher than what he imagined.Walking outside, is his name enough to be listed alongside the suzerain?
When the girl heard him mention the name of Mogu City, a hint of joy mixed with embarrassment rose on her face, she patted him on the shoulder heartily, and said with a smile: "Excuse me!" The mercenaries looked at Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan quickly, and walked up to them with big strides, their big eyes rolling, "These two are new faces, the last joint mission has not been done yet. I’ve seen it before. You’ve been promoted to three stars after only a few months of joining, yes, you have a bright future! What’s your name?”

Feng Yu replied on his behalf: "Yes, they are indeed the two most outstanding newcomers recently. The one on the left is Xu Yuan, and the one on the right is Ye Shuo." He winked at the two of them: "I haven't seen you soon. Sister?"

"Ye Shuo?" When the girl heard the name, her brows immediately stood up, her original admiration turned into undisguised disgust, she raised her hand and pointed at the tip of his nose: "Oh, he is Senior Brother Gucheng the one from..."

Ye Shuo was no stranger to such a change of face.But before the girl could say something even worse, the young man not far away quickly stepped forward, pressed her arm down, and shouted: "Junior Sister, don't mess around! Forget what Senior Brother Gucheng said before he left!" order?"

The girl pursed her lips, her expression unconvinced, but perhaps because of Mo Gucheng's order, she calmed down from being a kitten with furred fur, leaving only a pair of eyes staring fiercely at Ye Shuo.

The young man shook his head helplessly, cupped his fists at Ye Shuo, and said, "Brother Ye, my junior sister is young and energetic, and offended Brother Ye, please don't mind." His eyes also scanned his body, and said: " I heard that Brother Ye entered the Yinfeng Hell before, but you seem to be unscathed now?"

Ye Shuo smiled coldly: "I am not dead, if I disappoint you two, I would like to apologize here."

The hostility of Qianyuanzong's people towards him must be far more than those of the mercenary union.Although this young man is gentle and polite on the surface, in fact he is just covering up better.

If they are really in danger, not to mention that they don't know how to take care of themselves, they will definitely be eager to push themselves to a dead end.Although they were all companions in this mission, Ye Shuo had already treated them as enemies in his heart.

The young man stopped the junior sister who was furious again, and said without changing expression: "Deep into the Yinfeng Hell, retreating completely, I just admire Brother Ye's strength. This trip to seize the ancient fruit of Chiyan will also depend on Brother Ye a lot .”

Ye Shuo smiled bluntly: "You are all big shots, it should be said that it is I who rely on you to cover me a lot."

How terrifying the Six Royal Demon Lords are, I should be the only one in the audience who has seen them.If he was picked up by them and became a forward in a daze, he might not be able to die with a few lives.

Afterwards, the two parties exchanged names, the young man's name was Lu Hongyu, and the girl's name was Qiao Xiying.After some courtesy, Feng Yu led the crowd to the backyard square, where two eagle spirit beasts had already parked.

Xu Yuaner listened to his gracious introduction, saying that this is the mount that every mercenary is equipped with when they go out to perform missions, and couldn't help interjecting: "Then we have never sat on it once! We walk on two legs everywhere. , not even being reimbursed for pulling a carriage, I thought our trade union’s configuration was so crude!”

Feng Yu smiled wryly, before, everyone was ordered to punish them, and it was good if they didn't tamper with the soles of their shoes, so why would they equip them with travel mounts?Just as she was about to smooth things over, Qiao Xiying snorted coldly, "People who are immoral like you, why should you sit? Are you not afraid of falling off the eagle's back?"

Xu Yuan couldn't help but said: "This sister..." Qiao Xiying stared: "Who is your sister!"

Xu Yuan couldn't get angry, and whispered to Ye Shuo behind her back: "Your mouth is so poisonous, she deserves to be left alone for the rest of her life!"

Ye Shuo shrugged.He doesn't care.He was used to the days of being squeezed out in the mercenary union, and now it was just another one.He doesn't care how these people think he doesn't like him. The most important thing right now is to work hard to complete this SS-level task and raise enough funds to leave here.
