Soul Emperor Martial God

"Do not refuse a Demon Hunter's task request; it's a fundamental rule of the Demon Hunting Hall."

"Unless there are special circumstances, determined by Hall Master Level with a written decree, one can only temporarily bypass the hall rules."

"Since the Deacon lacks the Hall Master's written decree, according to hall rules, you cannot refuse me from undertaking a task."

Xiao Yi quickly finished speaking, coldly staring at the middle-aged man.

Though the Eastern Domain and Central Region are different territories,

since ancient times, the iron rules of the Demon Hunting Hall have never changed.

If he's unfamiliar with even the rules of the Demon Hunting Hall, his time as the Vice Hall Master of the Demon Hunting Hall was in vain.

Of course, given Xiao Yi's character, he doesn't like to say much about these things.

But staying here indefinitely is definitely not possible for him.

He had said he was in a hurry, so how could he waste time here?

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, "Exactly who are you?"

"Just an ordinary Demon Hunter wouldn't have access to some of the hall rules."

"You don't need to worry about it," Xiao Yi said coldly. "Just tell me the task content, restrictions, location, and deadline."

"You..." The middle-aged man paused, "Fine, follow me."

The middle-aged man led the way, Xiao Yi followed.

After a while, they stopped in front of the Scrolls Room.

The middle-aged man entered the Scrolls Room, and after a while, came out with a scroll.

"Yi Xiao, correct?" The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yi displeasedly.

"You insist on discussing hall rules with me. I won't violate hall rules."

"This task is a search and rescue mission, no, perhaps more accurately, a rescue mission."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi puzzled slightly.

A simple search mission ranked as the top task.

This proves that the person to be found is by no means ordinary.

The middle-aged man continued, "This mission takes place in the Mist Mountain Range."

"The Mist Mountain Range is the top dangerous location in Fangcun Territory, with demon beasts rampant. More importantly, the environment inside is extremely complex."

"Three days ago, a Martial Artist entered it and vanished without a trace."

"No matter how we searched, we found nothing, leading to this mission."

"Moreover, let me remind you one last time, two days ago, the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall dispatched 18 deacons, three Chief Stewards, and six Law Enforcement Teams for this task."

"And to this day, these deacons and law enforcement teams have all lost contact, not a single person has returned."

"The danger level of this mission is exceptionally high."

"That's why this task ranks at the top."

"If you wait longer and depart with a group of Demon Hunting Teams and powerful Martial Artists, it will be much safer."

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Two days ago, the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall had already dispatched Martial Artists.

In other words, the individual to be sought had only been missing for a single day, yet it prompted such a large operation from the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall.

"Who is the person to be found?" Xiao Yi asked.

The middle-aged man opened the scroll in his hand, which featured an image and detailed information about the person.

After a few glances, Xiao Yi nodded, "Okay, I've noted it."

"Farewell."

Xiao Yi cupped his hands, then turned and left.

"Wait." The middle-aged man was taken aback and quickly asked, "You're leaving now?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "I've memorized the appearance and details."

"Just bring the person back, right? Any other restrictions?"

The middle-aged man spoke gravely, "Alive to meet, dead to retrieve the corpse."

"If alive, the reward for this mission triples."

"If dead, bring back the body, and the reward remains unchanged."

"Triple, does the Task Points also triple?" Xiao Yi's eyes sparkled with joy.

"Of course." The middle-aged man nodded.

"Good then." A confident smile flitted across Xiao Yi's lips.

In the next instant, his silhouette flashed, quickly departing.

…

Xiao Yi left.

More than an hour later, the awaited individuals finally arrived in the back hall.

The arrival was a Demon Hunting Team, with about ten people.

"Here they are." The Demon Hunters and Demon Hunting Teams waiting there were filled with admiration, each showing a worshipful expression.

"Liuo Kai Demon Hunting Team, the first Demon Hunting Team of Fangcun City."

This Demon Hunting Team was led by an elder.

The middle-aged man, who was the Deacon, quickly approached and cupped his hands, "Master Liuo Kai."

"Hmm." The elder nodded proudly.

The elder's name was Liuo Kai.

He was the most renowned Array Master besides the Fangcun City Lord in Fangcun Territory.

He was respectfully called Master Liuo Kai.

"I heard the Demon Hunting Hall has issued the top mission, so I'm here to help," Liuo Kai stroked his white beard, speaking casually.

"Yes." The middle-aged man quickly replied, "It's a search mission, located in the Mist Mountain Range."

"Hmm." Liuo Kai nodded, "Tell me the detailed content of the mission."

"Alright." The middle-aged man quickly explained the details and presented the image from the previous scroll.

After listening, Liuo Kai nodded, "It's this person? Alright, I've memorized the appearance."

The middle-aged man said seriously, "Master Liuo Kai, this person is of great importance, there must be no mistakes, please do your utmost."

"Rest easy." Liuo Kai said arrogantly, "My skills, and the skills of my Demon Hunting Team, do you still not trust them?"

"Master Liuo Kai is jesting." The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly.

Around them, the Demon Hunters respectfully said, "Who doesn't know that the Liuo Kai Demon Hunting Team is the top Demon Hunting Team in Fangcun Territory."

"And the only Saint-level Demon Hunting Team in Fangcun Territory, with a mission success rate of 100%."

"With Master Liuo Kai stepping in, and leading the team, this mission will surely be completed perfectly."

"Haha." Liuo Kai smiled joyfully.

At this moment, a rough voice rang out mockingly, "Just now, a young brat couldn't wait for you, Master."

"Oh?" Liuo Kai furrowed his brow.

"Just a yellow-mouthed child." A Demon Hunter replied, "It's the Purple Flame that recently gained initial fame."

"Relying on some fame, acting arrogantly."

"Simply waiting for you for a while, Master, without patience, directly took the mission and left."

"Haha." Liuo Kai laughed casually.

"The Mist Mountain Range is full of dangers."

"If not entering deep, it's fine, but once entered deep, without my lead, ordinary people have no way out."

"If he wants to court death, I can't be bothered."

"Right, Master Liuo Kai makes sense." The Demon Hunters around flattered.

…

Elsewhere, Xiao Yi, who had left the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, transformed into Purple Flame Fire Wings with extreme speed.

After more than an hour, he arrived at the Mist Mountain Range.

The Mist Mountain Range, as the top dangerous location of Fangcun Territory, he knew well.

Moreover, as he planned to quickly hunt demons and gather merits, the Mist Mountain Range was his intended destination.

Naturally, he had long investigated the Mist Mountain Range.

Swoosh...

Xiao Yi instantly descended from the sky.

"Such dense fog." Xiao Yi frowned, looking around.

He had arrived at the Mist Mountain Range, and the first impression it gave was similar to the Mist Dangerous Land at the boundary he had previously passed through.

Only here, the Mist Mountain Range seemed even more vast.

It exuded an inexplicable eerie feeling, increasing unease.

...

Second update.
