"An extraordinary opportunity?"
Lu Ren froze.
Beside him, a faint blush touched Mu Hanxue's icy face, and a strange look crossed his features.
"If it hadn't been for an extraordinary opportunity, you two would have died beneath the Nirvana Thunder Calamity!"
Zhang Meng said.
"Yes, it was an extraordinary opportunity!"
Lu Ren nodded.
"I know about Xiao Zhen too. You must kill him as soon as possible. Otherwise, your secret will soon reach every Ghost Path Cultivator!"
Zhang Meng said.
"Lord Zhang Meng, rest assured. Many Ghost Path Cultivators don't know one another's identities. Even if he knows my secret, he can't spread it overnight!"
Lu Ren said with conviction.
"That would be best!"
Zhang Meng waved his hand, and a scroll appeared, drifting slowly toward Lu Ren.
Golden light blazed across its surface, and it radiated the mighty authority of the Immortal Dao.
"What's this?"
Lu Ren asked in surprise.
"A secret mission the Immortal Dao Palace has assigned you. Open it and see!"
Zhang Meng said.
Lu Ren unrolled the scroll and read its Rune Characters. Surprise filled his face. "Why didn't this mission come sooner?"
The mission was to kill Ghost Path Cultivators. Each one he killed would earn him Immortal Merit, and the stronger the cultivator, the greater the reward.
A First-Rank Ghost Emperor was worth one Immortal Merit.
A Second-Rank Ghost Emperor was worth ten Immortal Merit.
A Third-Rank Ghost Emperor was worth one hundred Immortal Merit.
An Eighth-Rank Ghost Emperor was worth ten million Immortal Merit.
A Ninth-Rank Ghost Emperor was worth one hundred million Immortal Merit.
He had killed plenty of Second- and Third-Rank Ghost Emperors in Calamity Cave.
"The master of the Immortal Dao Palace withstood considerable pressure to assign you this mission. Kill Ghost Path Cultivators and use this scroll
