The mission was almost complete!

Half an hour later.

Ye Chen and Yang Yang successfully became contracted members of the Demon Suppression Bureau, earning the right to accept its missions.

The two looked through all the missions and soon chose three.

[Wanted: Zhou Qing, outer disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect. Reward: 10 Demon Merit]

[Wanted: Qian Dashan, outer disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect. Reward: 10 Demon Merit]

[Wanted: Li Wu, outer disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect. Reward: 10 Demon Merit]

After accepting the three missions, they received the details and learned why the Demon Suppression Bureau was after the three outer disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect. Relying on their superior cultivation, the three had slaughtered an entire Lineage, not even sparing the children. The Demon Suppression Bureau had eventually uncovered the crime.

According to the Demon Suppression Bureau's intelligence, the three outer disciples were suspected to be on Black Wolf Mountain, a property under the Blazing Sun Sect. Black Wolf Mountain was a treasure land said to contain many valuable things, and many Blazing Sun Sect disciples were responsible for guarding it.

"The Blazing Sun Sect's higher-ups probably protected those three disciples. The Demon Suppression Bureau in Spirit Yang City couldn't do anything to the Blazing Sun Sect, so it posted the missions. But what ordinary martial artist would dare offend the Blazing Sun Sect? That's why these missions have been sitting here all this time," Yang Yang reasoned.

Neither of them feared the Blazing Sun Sect. They had asked their master what to do if they offended it, and their master had simply told them not to fear it.

"Come on, let's go to Black Wolf Mountain."

Ye Chen and Yang Yang set off for Black Wolf Mountain.

Black Wolf Mountain was about fifty li from Spirit Yang City, not very far. The two soon arrived, then circled around from another direction and entered the Blazing Sun Sect's outpost on the mountain.

By now, both had changed into black clothes and put on masks. It was night, and when they used the Demonic Shadow Clone Technique in the darkness, they were like ghosts.

"I spotted a Blazing Sun Sect disciple on patrol."

"Kill him. Could there be any good people in a Blazing Sun Sect that shelters beasts like that?"

Ye Chen made his move, appearing before the disciple and crushing his neck, killing him.

Unfortunately, he had yet to cultivate the Formless Secret Method to the great accomplishment realm. If he had, he could even have disguised himself as the disciple. Even if the resemblance wasn't perfect, the other Blazing Sun Sect disciples would have had a hard time telling in the dark.

"Eldest Senior Brother, there's a medicinal garden here, with so much spirit medicine! Looks like this treasure land on Black Wolf Mountain is the Blazing Sun Sect's medicinal garden!"

"There's a formation around the garden. If we go in, we'll trigger it. First, get the token that controls the formation."

"All right!"

Ye Chen and Yang Yang struck again, killing another outer disciple and taking his token. After studying it for a while, they successfully opened the medicinal garden's formation.

"This spirit medicine is enough to rapidly raise my cultivation to the Body Forging Realm Ninth Layer, or even the True Qi Realm."

Yang Yang was thrilled. He immediately dug up the spirit medicine, taking all of it regardless of age.

Before long, Yang Yang had harvested a great quantity of spirit medicine.

Just then, a Blazing Sun Sect disciple came out to relieve himself. Seeing what was happening in the medicinal garden, he immediately shouted, "Intruders!"

"We've been exposed. Then let's kill!"

Yang Yang said.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two swiftly charged at the Blazing Sun Sect disciple and used the White Bone Claw to crush his neck.

By then, the other Blazing Sun Sect disciples had also come out.

"I've found those three outer disciples."

Ye Chen took a Peak Body Casting Realm puppet out of his Storage Bag and controlled it to attack the three outer disciples.

Soon, all three outer disciples were dead, and Ye Chen and Yang Yang put their corpses away.

"Retreat."

Ye Chen and Yang Yang quickly withdrew. There weren't many Blazing Sun Sect disciples here, but this was only one of several outposts on Black Wolf Mountain, each guarding a different area.

There might also be True Qi Realm martial artists hidden here, so they needed to retreat quickly.

Sure enough.

An incomparably powerful presence came rushing over from the distance. It was a True Qi Realm martial artist.

"You're courting death!"

The True Qi Realm martial artist unleashed a sword art. A powerful sword light tore through the darkness, carrying incomparably powerful True Qi as it slashed toward Ye Chen and Yang Yang.

Two Peak Body Casting Realm puppets immediately blocked the way and stopped the sword strike. Their attack power was only at the Peak Body Casting Realm level, but their defenses were at the True Qi Realm level, and they blocked the blow.

The two puppets then swiftly carried Ye Chen and Yang Yang away, vanishing into the darkness. Both men were also circulating the Formless Secret Method, and their presences had almost entirely disappeared.

The True Qi Realm elder of the Blazing Sun Sect pursued them, but soon lost track of Ye Chen and Yang Yang.

"Damn thieves."

The Blazing Sun Sect elder roared.

Far from Black Wolf Mountain, the two rested in a cave.

"There really was a True Qi Realm martial artist on Black Wolf Mountain. The Demon Suppression Bureau's intelligence wasn't very accurate. Luckily, we completed the mission," Ye Chen said with a sigh of relief.

Yang Yang, meanwhile, began swallowing spirit medicines one after another and circulating the Taotie Swallowing Devil Cultivation Method to refine them. Wave after wave of energy tempered his body, rapidly raising his cultivation.

"Eldest Senior Brother, the mission's complete. We'll have to keep a low profile from now on, or the Blazing Sun Sect will definitely keep an eye on the Demon Suppression Bureau. Once they set their sights on us, they'll definitely send out True Qi Realm martial artists, and it won't be so easy for us to escape again. Once I break through to the Body Forging Realm Ninth Layer, I'll go stir things up again."

"All right."

Ye Chen nodded.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Ye Chen and Yang Yang went to the Demon Suppression Bureau to turn in their missions, exchanging the Demon Merit they earned for pills.

Black-Yellow Sect.

Lin Ye had already returned. He had left Han Bing alone in Changping Valley; with Han Bing's strength, he wouldn't be in much danger even if someone found him.

"Huh, the quota of ten sect disciples is complete."

Lin Ye had just woken up when he discovered that the system mission requiring his disciples to kill ten sect disciples had been completed. Only the reputation requirement was still a little short.

"Ye Chen and Yang Yang, those two have been working hard enough. They're already about to complete this system mission," Lin Ye said, very satisfied.

Over the next few days, the Blazing Sun Sect flew into a rage and sent quite a few disciples into Spirit Yang City to investigate. But the Demon Suppression Bureau didn't care about the Blazing Sun Sect and gave it no face at all, leaving it with no way to investigate.

Soon, however, they investigated the martial arts Ye Chen and Yang Yang had used and ultimately identified the two.

Spirit Yang City.

Huangpu, a True Qi Realm elder of the Blazing Sun Sect, was holding an intelligence report. It had roughly identified the two men. "Disciples of the Black-Yellow Sect."

The report was only speculation; it couldn't confirm that they were Black-Yellow Sect disciples, but the possibility was high.

"Investigate the Black-Yellow Sect immediately. Once you've confirmed its situation, report to me at once."

"Yes, Elder."

The Blazing Sun Sect disciples quickly completed their investigation.

"Elder, the Black-Yellow Sect is a one-star sect. It's very weak. Its previous sect master was only a Body Forging Realm martial artist, and it has no True Qi Realm martial artists. Presumably, the current sect master recruited a few highly talented disciples and wants to spread the Black-Yellow Sect's name."

No, those two Black-Yellow Sect disciples had Body Forging Realm puppets. It wasn't just good luck; they most likely obtained some kind of martial arts inheritance or a powerful expert's treasure, Huangpu thought, even feeling a stir of greed.
