Chapter 120

Among the numerous outer sect tasks, the task of killing Huang Xie, the fierce ghost of the Nine Netherworld, has a relatively high danger coefficient. So much so that no one has completed it for several months after it was posted. When this task disappeared from the black stone slab, the first floor of the Merit Hall exploded. "Who is it? So strong." "Huang Xie is a disciple of the Evil Demon King. His demonic cultivation is very profound and his strength is extremely terrifying. Unexpectedly, someone actually killed him. Could it be Wu Xiongba, the number one outer sect disciple?" "Wu Xiongba of the Heaven Gate took on the exploration task of the Nether Sea Forest a few days ago and hasn't returned yet. It can't be him." "Didn't Yu Sheng of the Heaven Gate take on the task yesterday? Could it be that he completed it?" ... People in the Merit Hall started discussing animatedly. For them, the disciple who could kill Huang Xie at the sixth level of forging gang must be within the Heaven Gate. No one would think of Zhou Peng. After killing Huang Xie and receiving 3,500 merit points, Zhou Peng returned to his residence. He wanted to see what kind of commotion Yu Sheng's death would cause. But after waiting for three days, there was no sound at all. It was as if Yu Sheng and the others had never appeared in the Thousand Machines Sect. "Are outer sect disciples so unimportant?" Zhou Peng asked himself in his heart. But he sneered coldly. "This is good too. Save me from worrying." There are hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Thousand Machines Sect. It is normal for a few people to die every day because of tasks. Especially the deaths of outer sect disciples are even more common. The sect is used to it and doesn't investigate much. This also made Zhou Peng secretly relieved. After all, this was the first time he killed someone in the Thousand Machines Sect. And he killed a disciple of the Heaven Gate and a follower of the Qingtian Faction. "It seems that I was overthinking." Zhou Peng gave a wry smile. Walked out of the room. Ready to go to the Merit Hall to take on tasks again. The only thing he needs to do now is to accumulate merit points. From the moment he received the merit points, Zhou Peng found that merit points are really a good thing. Even immortal-level magic treasures can be exchanged. As long as you have enough merit points, there are countless magic treasures. Zhou Peng was naturally envious. Wishing he could exchange them all. In the next battle, without making a move, directly smashing the opponent with magic treasures. That feeling is no less enjoyable than using money to smash people in the previous life. With the experience of killing Huang Xie, Zhou Peng has a certain understanding of the danger coefficient. If according to the system task standard, the danger coefficient like killing Huang Xie belongs to level B. It is not enough to pose a threat to him. As long as there are no accidents, there will definitely be no problem. The tasks released on the black stone are not absolute. Unexpected things often happen. Zhou Peng took a few glances. His target was locked on "Killing the thousand-year snow demon in the Xueyue Dynasty". The danger coefficient can rank in the top ten among the tasks. The rewarded merit points also reach 4,000. It is a considerable challenge. The task has been hanging for half a year. No one has completed it. Zhou Peng walked to the task acceptance area. Handed in the black wooden plaque and said, "Kill the thousand-year snow demon in the Xueyue Dynasty." The voice was not loud. But everyone around could hear it very clearly. Seeing the black wooden plaque that Zhou Peng took out, many people had mocking sneers on their faces. A disciple of the Yellow Gate dares to accept a task with such a high danger. Isn't this looking for death? "You'd better change to another task. This task is not suitable for you." "Brother, with your strength, you also want to kill the thousand-year snow demon? It's really funny." "Arrange some aftermath in advance. Hahaha..." "Hahaha..." ... There were waves of mocking and sarcastic voices in the crowd. Zhou Peng naturally sneered. Didn't argue. After taking on the task, Zhou Peng immediately walked out of the Merit Hall. Once again, he attracted a lot of pointing and whispering. All saying that he was overestimating himself and would definitely die tragically in the Xueyue Dynasty. "The seventh level of forging gang. The thousand-year snow demon should not be too strong. There should be no problem dealing with it." Zhou Peng looked at the task introduction and the level of the thousand-year snow demon. Secretly thought in his heart, "What will be the mood of those who mocked me when I come back after completing the task?" Thinking of this, the corner of Zhou Peng's mouth rose. Sketching out a wicked smile. Five days later, Zhou Peng returned. Appearing in the Merit Hall. After receiving 4,000 merit points, the task of killing the thousand-year snow demon disappeared from the black stone slab. Everyone was shocked. Looking at Zhou Peng. They couldn't say a word. In five days, he killed the thousand-year snow demon at the seventh level of forging gang without being injured at all. Those disciples who had mocked Zhou Peng earlier now felt a burning sensation on their faces. It was as if they had been slapped hard several times. "How is it possible? It's simply impossible. Can a disciple of the Yellow Gate kill the thousand-year snow demon at the seventh level of forging gang?" "Is he a disciple of the Yellow Gate?" "How did he complete it?" ... Giving a light glance at the shocked people around, Zhou Peng sneered coldly and walked out arrogantly. At the same time, several disciples instantly caught up from behind. Extremely attentive and said, "Brother, are you interested in joining the 'Battle Hammer Squad'? Do tasks together. Share merit points together. We are a famous battle team." "Oh." Zhou Peng was stunned. "Then you are very strong." "Strong? Not just strong. Among outer sect disciples, who doesn't know the reputation of our 'Battle Hammer Squad'?" "Really?" Zhou Peng smiled and said, "You are already very strong. I won't take advantage of your light." "Uh...?!" One disciple stepped back. Another disciple stepped forward and respectfully said in a humble tone, "Big brother, take me with you. I have been in the Thousand Machines Sect for two years. My merit points are still less than a thousand. In another year, all disciples who can't get a thousand merit points will be expelled. Big brother, please help me." "Help you?" Zhou Peng walked forward leisurely. That disciple followed behind obediently. Extremely respectful. "Yes, big brother. Please." "Help me too. Transfer all your merit points to me before you are expelled from the Thousand Machines Sect. Do you think it's okay?" Zhou Peng casually said. This kind of person is obviously someone who wants to gain experience and steal merit points. Only a lunatic would take him. That person's expression changed. Glared at Zhou Peng. Felt resentment. But Zhou Peng just smiled faintly. "Big brother, it's him who completed the task of killing Huang Xie." Under a tree shade outside the Merit Hall, several gorgeously dressed youths pointed at Zhou Peng and whispered. Among them, one disciple was slightly older and also their leader. Looking at Zhou Peng, his eyes showed intense hatred and a faint killing intent. His name is Luo Sheng. At the seventh level of forging gang. His strength can rank in the top ten among outer sect disciples. He is a strong contender in the next selection of inner sect disciples. He also has a younger brother named Luo Kai. A few days ago, at Yu Sheng's invitation, he accepted the task of killing Huang Xie. After going there, he didn't come back. Luo Sheng suspected that Zhou Peng had killed his younger brother. How could a disciple of the Yellow Gate have the strength to kill Huang Xie at the sixth level of forging gang? It must be that he picked up a bargain and then was cruel enough to kill his younger brother and the others. Luo Sheng stared coldly at Zhou Peng. Said faintly, "Go and find out what his next task is?"
