"Choose that one, the third one, it appears to be harder than the rest of them, although its reward is very low compares to the others within the second row, but who cares about that. If we are lucky then we might be able to find some treasure on these thugs," A sweet voice which was very pleasant to hear resounded from the depths of the vast and boundless unknown world that was none other than Chu Feng's World Spirit Space.
The sweet voice belonged to none other than his Milady Queen, who was currently sitting on a beautiful golden colored chair which was more like a throne, specially made by Chu Feng for her as a gift.
Presently, she was helping Chu Feng in selecting the best-suited mission for him, after giving it a lot of thought she finally came to a conclusion and signaled towards a hard level mission on the bounty board, which was pinned on the corner of the second row of Bounty Board.
Yesterday, before going to sleep Chu Feng and Queen both decided that both of them shouldn't waste their remaining time by staying here at the Zhu Clan restaurant. They have already gathered very vast information about the history and the current situation of the Eastern Continent during this short vacation at the restaurant and now it was time for them to do some work.
After living inside this Zhu Clan's restaurant for more than a week, the current Chu Feng had discovered many different kinds of things here, most of which were quite similar to things from his past world.
For example, among the many halls at the restaurant there was a separate hall called casino hall which was only opened at night, and there, every night many young masters and mistresses used to come specifically to gamble large bets for their enjoyment and entertainment purposes.
Hearing about such Young Master's, Chu Feng could only show a disdainful smile because, in his previous life, there were specifically three types of people he never truly liked, and one of these types were the people who used their own background to flaunt about themselves and bully others.
He wasn't against them for using their background to gain power, instead, he completely agreed with them over this point after all their ancestors must have done terrifying level hard work in order to create a powerful background for their future generations but if these young masters use this power to bully others and kill new geniuses to stop the new generation from gaining power then it turned into something, on which he shows his anger.
All of this was mainly because of the fact that he himself had once tasted this kind of thing when he became a victim of such a group of people in his past life.
And that experience was so bad that he with his whole family had to leave China, his home country to settle down in America, the country from which his mother was.
But Chu Feng's attention was not attracted by those gambling games instead his whole focus was grabbed by a large bounty board hung in the casino hall.
Unlike other bounty boards he had ever seen in his whole life, this one was very large in terms of appearance and for some unknown reason, all the bounties pinned over it were flickering with golden lights every second, as if every second they were being updated, continuously.
This whole scene truly stunned Chu Feng, because with just the Spiritual Energies aura the board was giving off he could guess that this board was no ordinary treasure and it must have been made by a very highly-skilled World Spiritist who doesn't belong to this lower plane.
When Chu Feng turned and asked around about it to the people standing nearby him, he learned that his hunch was correct again and this huge bounty board was truly not normal at all.
It was said that since ancient times there had been many treasures inside the Eastern Continent that have been passed down from one generation to the other generations and this bounty board also came under the same case, it was also passed on from one generation of the Zhu Clan to the other.
More than Thousands of Years ago, this and two similar bounty boards used to belong to the second pope of the Burning Heaven Church who was the ancestor of the Zhu Clan. Before leaving this physical world he passed these Self Updating bounty boards to his children, saying that he found them heavenly treasure from the ancient ruins and they must use them well.
Currently, there were three such Heaven Defying Treasures, and all of them were possessed by the Zhu Clan members, one was located at the Zhu Clan restaurant, second at the abandoned territory of the Runes Mountains and the last at the Ice Territory at the southernmost point of the continent.
Inside the whole Eastern Continent, all three of these treasures were considered as God-Level treasures due to their capability of getting self updated and being able to remain connected to each other even after being thousands of miles apart.
Other than one or two other treasures that were sealed at Misty Peak, there were not any known armaments that could rival the existence of these three Heaven Defying Armaments.
But due to the fact that they were not any attack type instead of auxiliary type armaments that only showed the available missions throughout the Eastern Sea Region and were available to use for free to everyone, Zhu Clan members never got attacked for them in the past, like Misty Peak guardians, who were attacked in the history numerous times in its thousand of years of existence for their sealed treasures.
Though in their thousand years of existence there have been innumerable World Spiritist experts who had visited the Zhu Clan for studying these mysterious pieces of art, none of them had ever tried to steal them for their own personal showcasing their kindness.
However many people didn't agree on this kindness point, they say it was not because the people from the past were too kind instead it was because these armaments required a very special type of formation to activate it every day and this type of formation was only sealed inside the main lineage of the Zhu Clan.
And this was also the reason the Zhu Clan members had strict rules on having less number of children.
Different people had different kinds of opinions but Chu Feng didn't bother with these rumors because the current him wasn't able to see through the board even after using his Heaven's Eyes and Asura Gaze.
He could easily guess that the current him did not possess the required cultivation level to see through them. And It will at least require him a cultivation level of Martial King to see through the board.
Though the present him really wanted to inspect this board, however, he was only left with one option and that was to select a bounty for himself, depending on their requirements and rewards, and finish it as soon as possible.
"To Kill---Gang Leader of Hundred Evil Thugs: Xu Mang!!!"
"And Completely Destroy All Hundred Evil Thug's Members!"
"My Young Friend, I think this bounty will be too difficult for you to complete it alone, at least with your current 8th level cultivation of the Heaven Realm, it might be impossible," As Chu Feng was about to remove the bounty from the bounty board a young man with a short stubble beard who appeared to be around 26 years old arrived beside him out of thin air.
Reverence for Young Chu Feng could clearly be noted from his blue eyes which were filled politeness and respect. It was clear that unlike other people present in the casino hall, he didn't mistake Chu Feng to be a normal cultivator, which could also be supported by the fact that he could see through Chu Feng's cultivation level which was hidden by Chu Feng, earlier when he about to enter the restaurant.
"Ohh! And who you might be, Senior?" Chu Feng turned his gaze filled with surprise to see the person's face who just appeared beside him out of thin air and was able to see through his real cultivation level.
Although that unknown young man wasn't someone handsome, he can't be said to be ugly either, "Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ji Yun. I am just a lone traveler and have been traveling to the different parts of the Eastern Sea region for more seven years."
"And, It can be said that there are very few places in the whole Eastern Continent, that I don't know off, Ji Yun introduced himself before releasing a little pressure off the cultivation aura of the 9th level of Heaven Realm just one realm higher than the current Chu Feng's cultivation level.
"What do you mean its too difficult for the current me to kill them? Alone" To Chu Feng's question, Ji Yun with a smile of a businessman didn't directly reply instead he looked around for a few seconds before waving his hand, signaling to discuss this point in a private room.
Chu Feng understood his signal, so he just nodded after a pregnant pause, and with a smile, he followed Ji Yun towards a private room.
With just a small conversation Chu Feng could clearly that this young man in front of him only meant one thing and that was business. He had seen these kinds of people in a past life when he used to knock doors of publishing houses to publish his book, before being forced to become a secret agent.
Though this man named Ji Yun in front of him was pure businessman put he was able to see through his real cultivation, and this thing made him very curious.
As being a curious human, he wanted to know, how was a 9th Heaven Realm cultivator was able to see through him.
However, he didn't let his curiosity control him and replied by showing a nod.
Chu Feng easily agreed with him because at first when he looked into eyes, he could see a hint of
~~~
"From your aura, I can clearly tell that you are no ordinary 8th Heaven Realm..... your cultivation aura density is much more than to that of any Heaven Realm cultivator I have ever seen but you still you are overestimating yourself too much.
"Believe me I have lived at this land for many years, and there is not a single hidden place that I Ji Yu don't know of."
There was a hidden meaning behind his words, he was indirectly telling Chu Feng that even with his higher level of strength he wouldn't be able to destroy the whole Hundred Evil Thugs members without his knowledge.
"Since the last two months, Xu Mang has gone to close the door cultivation, in truth, no one really knows what is he really planning, although he was at the 9th Heaven Realm two months ago, but from what I have learned from my hidden sources is that five days ago he had a breakthrough to the 1st Martial Lord Realm after he obtained some kind of treasure."
"So the present you can't judge Xu Mang as the same person from your bounty, now you cannot consider him as an ordinary thug because you must not only consider his cultivation of Martial Lord and his gang members together who will definitely attack you from behind."
"Are you sure you will be able to kill them at once? Even if you only focus on their leader they will still attack you from behind."
"Dealing with a Martial Lord with just the strength of 8th Heaven Realm is itself a huge thing and you are going to deal with all of them alone."
"But it doesn't mean that you can't complete the mission, you can complete it but you need someone's to help you, someone who can manage the other members of the gang while you fight Xu Mang, their leader."
Ji Yun with his cunning smile stopped for a few seconds to look for Chu Feng's facial expression, seeing the understanding expression in his eyes, he continued to speak, "Moreover, from those deeply hidden sources I also learned that Xu Mang has found some rare treasure through which he is able to increase his cultivation at such a rapid pace."
For a moment, Chu Feng squinted his eyes as if trying to see through Ji Yun and asked, "And I wonder how trustworthy are your hidden sources?" It doesn't matter to him whether Ji Yun was lying or not because of his strength as he could easily kill this man.
Ji Yun smirked like a cunning fox 🦊 who was about to sign a big deal "Hehehe! you don't have to worry about that. Instead, you should discuss that how are we going to deal with them and about the division of the reward."
"There is no need for the division, you can take the reward of the mission and whatever you get from other members cosmos sack's. I just want Xu Mang's armaments and everything inside his cosmos sack," Chu Feng didn't know how trustworthy this unknown Ji Yun was but still, he knows one thing and that was he can't really win Xu Mang alone if whatever Ji Yun spoke was right."
Ji Yun laughed out loudly and patted Chu Feng's shoulder for few times, "Ha Ha Ha! You are much straightforward than I anticipated you to be."
