The Vast Righteousness Sect's Senior Disciple

Like an ox chewing a peony, Chen Xu gulped down the steaming tea in one mouthful and looked at Mu Suyi, who was savoring hers sip by sip.

Setting down her teacup, Mu Suyi untied the pure white sword sheath from her back and laid it across her knees.

"The mission is related to the Martial Alliance."

Chen Xu's expression did not change. At least five out of every ten Inner Academy missions were connected to the Martial Alliance, so he was not surprised.

"The target is Zhongli Zheng, the senior disciple of the Vast Righteousness Sect, one of the Martial Alliance's Eight Major Branches."

Mu Suyi handed him a photograph showing only a back view. The man in it was bent forward, as though he were picking something up.

"This is him. We have reliable information that he has appeared near Culture Capital, one of the three great capitals. Based on our assessment, there is over a ninety percent chance that he is heading for Culture Capital. Our task is to find him there and kill him.

"Of course, if possible, it would be best to capture him alive. The credit reward for him alive and dead differs by no small amount.

"If you are willing to participate, I can share the mission with you through the wristband right now."

Chen Xu took the photograph and studied it for a moment before saying, "I need to see the mission first."

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Suyi agreed to Chen Xu's request. However, rather than sharing it with him directly, she went into a nearby room to open the mission page, then came back out and showed it to him.

``` Mission: Kill Zhongli Zheng—the senior disciple of the Martial Alliance's Vast Righteousness Sect.
