Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Since I'm going to chop anyway, it doesn't matter who I chop, might as well take a job along the way.

Yi Chen saw no reason to refuse such a task where one could earn double payment for a single job.

At this moment, he looked at the eunuch before him and couldn't help but show a compassionate and benevolent face.

"Good, this eunuch indeed did not misjudge the person, Young Master Yi truly has extraordinary courage. I wonder if Young Master is willing to travel thousands of miles to Ling City?"

"That place is currently under attack by the True Blood Sect's Sea Lion Altar, striking everywhere. Now, Ling City is in great distress, and it is said that all trade routes have been severed."

"Local minor families are organizing cultivators to prepare for a siege, while simultaneously pleading for help from our Great Qian Court. Unfortunately, with the outbreak of wars everywhere, we are severely understaffed. Thus, I wish for Young Master Yi to be specially appointed as our Great Qian's Evil Suppression Envoy, to go to Ling City and save the tens of thousands from dire straits."

Seeing Yi Chen moved, a middle-aged scholar showed a smile on his face. He smiled and shook his palm hidden in his sleeve, saying,

"Our Great Qian can offer this amount!"

"What? Five thousand Red Coins? Eunuch is truly magnanimous. I can set off right now!"

Seeing the shaking palm of the middle-aged scholar, a look of 'surprise' appeared on Yi Chen's face.

Then he saw the middle-aged scholar with a white and beardless face turn his large face visibly dark at a noticeable speed.

"Five thousand Red Coins? Is Young Master joking with me? I meant five hundred Red Coins."

"Eh, I felt a kindred spirit with the eunuch at first glance, but I didn't expect the eunuch to be so stingy. Eunuch, this is a task where one's head is on the line. Now, let me say a number."

"One thousand Red Coins, of which eight hundred Red Coins I want now, and the remaining two hundred can be sent after the task is completed. You may write a letter to inform Ling City, and they can give it to me then!"

"If the eunuch has half a word of disagreement, I will turn around and leave."

Yi Chen took a deep look at the middle-aged scholar before him, slowly gesturing a figure eight with his hand.

After a long silence, the middle-aged scholar sighed, flipped his hand to bring out ten Purple Jade Coins, straightened his clothes, and then deeply bowed to Yi Chen:

"Everything is entrusted to Young Master."

"One thousand Red Coins it is, I can give it now!"

"You trust me just like that, Eunuch? Are you not afraid I'll take the money and not do the job, just run away?" Looking at the middle-aged scholar's hand, which was glowing with a purple light from the Jade Coins, Yi Chen didn't immediately take them. Instead, he showed a trace of doubt on his face.

He had asked for eighty percent upfront because he was short of eighty thousand Deep Red Points for his True Technique to break through to the sixteenth level. But he hadn't expected this worldly-wise eunuch would place such trust in him.

"Young Master Yi, although I am a eunuch, not everyone in this world is as righteous and eager to help as you, Young Master."

"Moreover, the Fairy Shiran has repeatedly praised you to me for your integrity, and considering what you have done in Yang City, I do have the authority to allocate these funds."

"Of course, what's more important is that Great Qian is not afraid of you defaulting on the debt—as long as you don't wish to die a horrible death!"

The middle-aged scholar's mouth twisted into a cold smile, flipping his hand, a square seal engraved with the words 'Evil Suppression' shot towards Yi Chen, accompanied by a letter and ten Purple Jade Coins.

"Young Master, this seal is for verifying your identity, the letter contains intelligence on Ling City, you may peruse it on your journey. As for this reward, Young Master can also accept it in advance."

"I wish Young Master a smooth journey; I shall not see you off any further."

The middle-aged scholar acted decisively, passing all his possessions to Yi Chen and then, with a surge of mana, shot up into the sky in an Escape Light. It turns out he also had the cultivation of a True Monarch, even stronger than the Heiyu Bone he had killed.

"Interesting!"

"It seems Great Qian plans to use the so-called Evil Suppression Envoy to silence the objections of the minor families and the Heavenly Star Sect."

Yi Chen examined the Purple Coins in his hand, held them up to the daylight, and saw that they glowed with a mysterious purple light, with a strange halo circulating within the coins. He flicked them with his finger, producing a clear ringing sound,

"But it doesn't matter, whatever your secrets or compromises, as long as the money is in place, everything is negotiable!"

Licking his lips, Yi Chen secretly gathered the coins into his sleeve. With a turn of his Extreme Origin, he instantly refined the ten Purple Jade Coins.

However, refining the Purple Jade Coins, unlike the Red Jade Coins, caused his figure to pause slightly.

Damn, these Purple Coins pack a punch!

A bit heady!

....

....

Ling City is the third largest city in Great Qian's Guangling region, immensely prosperous, with countless merchants and travelers bustling through.

Yet now, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the mighty city, every person entering Ling City had to walk past a huge Bronze Mirror for inspection before being allowed inside.

All of this was because the True Blood Sect's Sea Lion Altar was causing trouble near Ling City.

These Demon Beasts emerging from the Red Sea were attacking all sides, leading to the severance of trade routes near Ling City. Now, the Sea Lion Altar had even brazenly built a Nine Layer Demon Tower thousands of miles away, capturing countless civilians to consume their flesh, skin, and drink their blood. A wave of public outrage swept through Ling City.

Smack!

"Damn it, the True Blood Sect is lawless, daring to lead beasts in eating people. Do they think Ling City is defenseless, or that Great Qian has no one?!"

A young master with a flushed face, hugging a scantily dressed woman, slammed the table and stood up.

"Exactly, I don't know what the Court is thinking. As long as the trade routes are not open, think of how much money we're losing. And I've heard that the madmen of the True Blood Sect have recently stirred up a huge incident!"
