The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1392 - 1393: Accepting the Epic-Level Mission

Regarding the various legends about the Vice Chieftain, they are passed along from one person to another, almost every disciple who joins the Wraith Clan will know them within a few months.

As for the secretive Clan Leader, who almost never shows up, naturally, in terms of reputation, the Clan Leader is not as renowned as the Vice Chieftain.

"Qin Yong, six months from now, we will be selecting the Twelve Emperors. To become one of the emperors, we must enter the Heaven Ranking. Currently, we have four people."

Dantai Zanglian suddenly shifted the topic.

"Six months from now, let’s see which of us is the strongest. The strongest three people will challenge the Heaven Ranking. Only upon entering the Heaven Ranking will we have the opportunity to compete for the position of one of the Twelve Emperors."

Qin Yong said.

"Alright, let’s do it this way. Junior Brother Ye Xiao, what do you think?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at Ye Mo, seeking his opinion.

"Of course, let the strongest three challenge the Heaven Ranking disciples, but six months from now, you must be careful."

Ye Mo said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Junior Brother Ye Xiao, even if I get defeated by you in six months, it will be worth it."

Qin Yong put his arm around Ye Mo’s shoulder and laughed heartily.

Ye Mo was also moved by Qin Yong’s boldness. Qin Yong and Li Xiuyuan did not have the arrogance of the strong; Ye Mo truly felt the urge to become sworn brothers with them.

"Alright, I’ve gathered you here not only to discuss the Heaven Ranking challenge but also the epic-level mission."

Dantai Zanglian said, "This epic-level mission requires us to go to the Myriad Demon Realm, kill the Lord of Myriad Demons, and obtain his Demon Core. The Lord of Myriad Demons is very strong, probably at the level of the Divine Venerable Seven Souls. Even if the four of us join forces, we might not be able to kill him."

"If our clan sends out a strong person of Divine Venerable Seven Souls, they should be able to kill him, right?"

Ye Mo said casually.

"Strong individuals with Divine Venerable Seven Souls are not easily dispatched. Whether in our clan or the Dead Soul Royal Family, they won’t easily send out a strong person of Divine Venerable Seven Souls. Every strong person of Divine Venerable Seven Souls is extremely important to both clans. Losing even one will have a huge impact on the clan’s strength."

Qin Yong said.

"If we go like this, aren’t we just seeking death?"

Ye Mo couldn’t help but say.

"It’s said to be a one-in-a-million chance of survival; otherwise, how would it be called an epic-level mission?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed, saying, "However, there is never a task that cannot be completed. Since the Vice Chieftain led disciples to complete an epic-level mission back then, we don’t believe that with the strength of the four of us, we won’t be able to complete the mission."

"Alright, since the four of us have discussed it, let’s go take on the mission now."

Having said that, Dantai Zanglian, the four, immediately flew towards the Merit Hall.

After flying for about half an hour, they arrived at a mountain peak. The four landed, and Ye Mo saw a massive palace appear in front of them. The palace gates were more than ten meters tall and were not conventional open doors, but had a twisted space-time rift, seemingly connecting to another space, with many disciples coming and going.

"Ye Xiao, this is the Merit Hall. Let’s go take on the mission!"

As Dantai Zanglian spoke, the four stepped through the gates, and Ye Mo felt as if his body was squeezed into a bubble, followed by a gentle popping sound, and then he realized they were inside a great hall.

The hall was immense, filled with many disciples, with various points around for taking on tasks.

The arrival of Ye Mo’s group had clearly attracted quite a few people’s attention. After all, among the four, three were ranked top on the earth list, and one had just defeated Wang Wei Wu, even stirring the Vice Chieftain—Junior Brother Ye Xiao.

"What are they doing at Merit Hall?"

"Currently, there doesn’t seem to be any task worth their attention."

The surrounding disciples saw Ye Mo’s group coming and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

"Let’s go!"

Despite this, Dantai Zanglian spoke, and the four headed directly to a task kiosk. Standing at the kiosk was a woman who, seeing them approach, smiled and said, "Senior Sister Zang Lian, taking on a task again?"

"Yes!"

Dantai Zanglian nodded.

The woman looked over the task handbook and said to Dantai Zanglian, "Senior Sister Zang Lian, currently there aren’t any suitable missions for you all."

Generally, tasks that are too easy are not assigned to core disciples.

"I want to take on that epic-level mission!"

Dantai Zanglian’s tone was very calm.

"What? You want to take on that epic-level mission?"

The woman’s expression immediately froze, her face filled with disbelief: "Senior Sister Zang Lian, you must think it over carefully; that’s an epic-level mission. Even the Heaven-ranked disciples currently wouldn’t dare to take on this task."

"Since it’s a mission, naturally it’s meant for someone to take on. Li Xiuyuan, Qin Yong, and I are ready to take it on together."

Dantai Zanglian said.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, are you sure you want to take on this task? Once confirmed, the Merit Hall will not retrieve it; you either die during the mission or complete it."

The woman reaffirmed multiple times, as the epic-level mission was indeed too difficult. Since its release, no one dared to take it on, and even the strong among the Heaven-ranked inquired about the mission. Upon hearing they had to kill the Lord of Myriad Demons, whom they changed face upon hearing.

Even strong individuals of Divine Venerable Seven Souls might not be able to kill the Lord of Myriad Demons.

"Yes!"

Dantai Zanglian nodded. Undertaking the epic-level mission was a plan long decided among them, and now with Ye Mo, the most suitable elite disciple joining them, the timing was perfect.

"There really are people who dare to take this mission."

At this moment, a mocking voice was heard as a man in green and a woman in yellow leisurely walked over. As they approached, Li Xiuyuan’s face suddenly turned unsightly.

The woman in yellow also appeared somewhat uncomfortable when looking towards Li Xiuyuan.

"It’s Xiang Qiu from the Heaven Ranking. Last year’s Heaven Ranking challenge, Xiang Qiu narrowly defeated Qin Yong and Li Xiuyuan."

"But it’s said they have some personal grudges; Xiang Qiu snatched Li Xiuyuan’s fiancée, and as Qin Yong was Xiang Qiu’s best friend, naturally he had to help him, but was still defeated by Xiang Qiu."

The people nearby whispered among themselves upon seeing Xiang Qiu.

"Is there a problem with us taking this mission?"

Dantai Zanglian said coldly.

"Of course, there’s no problem, but since the Heaven Ranking challenge is approaching, I fear you may return with no luck, and with your absence, the Heaven Ranking challenge would lack much fun."

Xiang Qiu smiled.

Indeed, his implication was clear; even the Heaven-ranked disciples dared not go together, and yet these ground-ranked disciples dared to dream of completing the epic-level mission.

"Mind your own business!"

Dantai Zanglian said, then turned to the woman: "Please help us fill in the task execution form."
