n

n

nThe Secret Service Division of Kosaka City did not occupy a large area.

n

nFrom the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary apartment.

n

nIf not for the address Murata had given him, Poison Blade would not have been able to find this place.

n

nWhen he arrived, there were two guards at the door. They were both Third Realm martial artists.

n

nDue to his High-Level Perception, he could hear their conversation from afar.

n

n“What’s going on in the Sixth Realm mystic realm, Hungry Ghost Village? I heard that the hungry ghosts have been rioting without stopping.”

n

n“I’m not sure. Recently, there have been riots in many mystic realms. Didn’t the burning earth demons appear in the Third Realm mystic realm, the Hirano Plains? They even deliberately burned the crops! The food production this year will probably decrease greatly.”

n

n“By the way, I heard that Lord Tianyu’s daughter is missing? I haven’t been able to find her for a few days.”

n

n“Shh, let’s not talk nonsense about important people. If others hear us, our career will be over!”

n

nPoison Blade was amused.

n

nThey were just two guards. What kind of career did they want?

n

nThose who had a real career path were already secretaries of Eighth Realm martial artists when they first joined the High Heaven Plains. After one or two years, they would be able to leave the city and become the deputy section chief of a certain city’s Secret Service Division. After another year or two, they would directly be promoted to a section chief.

n

nThis was what it meant to have a future.

n

nHowever, could the Lord Tianyu they were talking about be one of the deputy leaders of the High Heaven Plains, Forger Tianyu?

n

nThe disappearance of the deputy leader’s daughter was not a small matter.

n

nThe two guards noticed Poison Blade’s approach and immediately stopped talking. They were solemn and serious.

n

n“Stop, token.”

n

nThe martial artist on the left stopped him.

n

nPoison Blade explained his identity. The martial artist on the right sized him up suspiciously. “Wait, I’ll ask Lord Murata.”

n

nFour minutes later, the martial artist returned and nodded slightly. “Lord Murata wants you to enter.”

n

nPoison Blade nodded and strode into the Secret Service Division of Kosaka City.

n

nHe walked upstairs and quickly found Murata.

n

nAt this moment, Murata was handling official business. When he saw who it was, he was very puzzled. “Didn’t I ask you to come tomorrow morning? Why are you here now?”

n

nPoison Blade chuckled and said, “Since I’ve already joined the High Heaven Plains, I naturally have to contribute to the organization. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well come early.”

n

nWhen Murata heard this, he nodded in satisfaction.

n

nAlthough Mu Qiang was greedy, his loyalty was still commendable.

n

nAs soon as he arrived in Kosaka City, he did not interact much with his daughter and immediately came to the Secret Service Division.

n

nPoison Blade smiled and said, “What mission do you have for me now? Although I’m not powerful, I’m still a Seventh Realm martial artist.”

n

nAs a traitor of the Construction Division, it was naturally impossible for him to casually enter Reed Country.

n

nMoreover, ever since the news of India invading Little Spirit Mountain through the Sun Key spread, the various large organizations had increased the scrutiny of their large mystic realms.

n

nEveryone had to register their basic information.

n

nEvery few days, Eighth Realm martial artists would patrol everywhere.

n

nUnder such circumstances, even if he used the Sun Key to open the door of light and sneak into Reed Country, he would be discovered in a few days.

n

nUnless he immediately hid in a very hidden place and did not interact with anyone.

n

nHowever, in that case, how could he find the place where Xiang Qiankan was imprisoned?

n

nThe higher-ups of the Construction Division thought about it and realized that the only way was to give them fake identities.

n

nWhat Poison Blade needed to do now was to increase his favorability. It was best if he could immediately increase his favorability, battle merits, and even obtain the favorability of a Ninth Realm martial artist in the High Heaven Plains.

n

nIn this way, he could naturally enter the mystic realm of Reed Country to train.

n

n“Mission… Recently, there have been many riots in the mystic realms, but those mystic realms are all at the Fourth Realm and Fifth Realm. Isn’t it a little wasteful for a Seventh Realm expert like you to go?”

n

nPoison Blade smiled. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I don’t care.”

n

nMurata pondered for a moment. “By the way, something happened in the Sixth Realm mystic realm, Hungry Ghost Village. The hungry ghosts rioted at night. At least ten Sixth Realm martial artists were trapped in various parts of the Hungry Ghost Village. However, many Seventh Realm martial artists are busy dealing with the demon beast riot in Reed Country. The remaining portion of martial artists are also dealing with the other Sixth Realm mystic realms. They are unable to free up their hands for the time being.”

n

n“Can you go to the Hungry Ghost Village to save those Sixth Realm martial artists?”

n

nMurata raised his head. “Rescuing a Sixth Realm martial artist will reward you with 50 battle merits. If you find out the reason for the Hungry Ghost Village’s riot, I will request the section chief to reward you with more battle merits.”

n

nLin Xuan cursed in his heart.

n

nHow freaking stingy.

n

nSaving a Sixth Realm martial artist only earned him 50 battle merits.

n

nHowever, he naturally did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he immediately nodded. “I’ll go now!”

n

nMurata nodded in satisfaction. “The mystic realm door of light in our city is in the center of the city. You will naturally see it if you walk over there.”

n

n“By the way, this is your identity token. In the future, just come in and show your token. The guards won’t make things difficult for you.”

n

nPoison Blade took the token and put it away before turning to leave.

n

nMurata looked at his back and was increasingly satisfied.

n

n“The Section Chief gave me the thankless task of saving people. I was just worried that no one would do this difficult job when this Mu Qiang came. Not bad, not bad. I can nurture him as a trusted subordinate in the future.”

n

nSoon, Poison Blade arrived at the center of the city and entered the Sixth Realm mystic realm, Hungry Ghost Village.

n

nAs soon as he arrived at the Hungry Ghost Village, he felt a terrifying and miserable atmosphere.

n

nThe black clouds pressed down, and the air was cold.

n

nThere seemed to be all kinds of undisguised malice everywhere.

n

nHowever, when he looked over, he saw nothing.

n

nThe place where he stood was a rural dirt road, and behind him was a dense fog.

n

nThis was the edge of the mystic realm. He could not go any further. This fog was equivalent to an air wall.

n

nThe country road extended forward into the misty mountain village.

n

nA low wooden house was hidden in the fog like a silent ghost, waiting for the ignorant travelers to approach.

n

nPoison Blade had only taken a few steps when he saw a corpse lying on the ground.

n

nThe corpse was lying face down with three huge and deep wounds on its back.

n

nHe turned the corpse over and saw that these three wounds had directly pierced through the front of the chest from the back.

n

nHis heart, lungs, and trachea had been torn apart the moment he was attacked.

n

nThis person was deader than dead.

n

nBased on the direction his head was facing, this martial artist had probably been attacked from behind when he was running towards the mystic realm’s door of light and had instantly died.

n

n“This Hungry Ghost Village is quite interesting.”

n

nPoison Blade continued forward.

n

nThis place was terrifying and very terrifying for a Sixth Realm martial artist.

n

nHowever, to him, it was no different from child’s play.

n

nHe could even instantly kill a Seventh Realm ghost.

n

nMoreover, the other party was only a Sixth Realm hungry ghost.

n

nThe hungry ghosts here were different from ghosts. Ghosts did not have corpses and had extremely high physical resistance.

n

nHowever, hungry ghosts had physical bodies.

n

nThey would crazily search for all living things in their sight and devour their prey alive.

n

nTherefore, they were called “hungry ghosts”.

n

nPoison Blade followed the dirt road and arrived at the village entrance.

n

nAs expected, he saw many figures wandering aimlessly in the fog.

n

nPoison Blade could not be bothered to waste time and did not want to consume the durability of his equipment. He directly put on the Shadow Cloak and sneaked along.

n

nThe night and the fog itself made his presence much weaker. Coupled with the Shadow Cloak, it was as if he was a drop of water that had instantly fused with the sea after entering it.

n

nThese wandering hungry ghosts did not realize that a living person had slipped past within a three-meter radius.

n

nAs Poison Blade advanced, he activated his high-level perception to the maximum.

n

nHowever, to his surprise, there were no living beings here.

n

nLin Xuan could not help but curse, “Murata didn’t trick me, did he? Are there really survivors here?”

n

nHe continued for a while. The dirt road continued to extend until he reached the village ahead.

n

nThe houses here gradually became larger. Clearly, the villagers living here were also richer.

n

nAt this moment, he suddenly heard a voice in the wind ahead through his high-level perception.

n

n“Eh?”

n

nPoison Blade increased his speed and quickly advanced.

n

nSoon, he saw a scene that surprised him.

n

n“Please come out. My hungry ghost will find you soon anyway.”

n

n“What’s the point of hiding? Why don’t you just give up your life? You’re the only one left. As long as I kill you, no one will know my secret.”

n

n“Come out quickly. Please don’t cause me any more trouble.”

n

nA slender figure stood on the roof.

n

nHis face was filled with abnormal fanaticism and incomparable confidence.

n

nAt his feet were three hungry ghosts. They seemed to be following orders and searching for living people.

n

n“This guy can command hungry ghosts? What’s his background?”

n

nPoison Blade used a High-Level Observer skill.

n

nHis avatar had inherited all the skills other than the High-Level Avatar Technique, so Poison Blade could also observe other people’s information.

n

n“Yamamoto, level five Seventh Realm. His profession is Corpse Tamer. This profession is interesting. Although it’s only a blue profession, it allows him to control corpses.”

n

n“Yes, but he can only use 20% of the ghost’s strength before it dies. Moreover, he can only control three Seventh Realm ghosts at most.”

n

nAfter Lin Xuan finished reading, he was deep in thought.

n

nWhy would a Seventh Realm martial artist run into the Sixth Realm Hungry Ghost Village?

n

nThe other party was clearly not here to save people like him, but to kill.

n

nCould it be that the riot of the hungry ghosts in the Hungry Ghost Village’s was related to this person?

n

nPoison Blade used the night and the fog to quickly circle around.

n

nSoon, he felt extremely faint breathing in the basement of a house.

n

nThe other party had already hidden very well, but Poison Blade still heard his breathing.

n

nThe three hungry ghosts were already approaching.

n

nHungry ghosts were even more sensitive to living creatures. After all, they had been born to devour living creatures.

n

nIf nothing unexpected happened, something would soon happen to the person in the basement.

n

n“Saving a person gives 50 battle merits. Now… it seems that there’s only one person left.”

n

nLin Xuan was very helpless.

n

nHe originally wanted to hurry over and save more people. In this way, he could obtain more battle merits and be one step closer to entering Reed Country.

n

nIn the end, he was faced with this. Just what the hell was this?

n

nThe three hungry ghosts’ noses twitched crazily as they approached the house.

n

nBang!

n

nThe basement door was shattered by a slap.

n

nThe scream of a young girl could be heard.

n

nYamamoto laughed. “I found you!”

n

nPoison Blade quickly shuttled through the night and appeared ten meters behind Yamamoto in almost a few seconds.

n

nHowever, even after appearing at this distance, Yamamoto did not notice him at all.

n

n“I found you too.”

n

nYamamoto was laughing wildly when he suddenly heard a faint voice from behind.

n

nThe next moment, a short sword was placed on his neck.

n

nYamamoto was shocked!

n
