Ace Of Terrans



Shi Lang stood in the Head-hunter organization's office and looked at the scroll's content. He could not help but feel surprised at the task mentioned in the scroll. The content mentioned that he had to hunt for a young man who had been colluding with the demonic cultivators and caused the death of many experts from the righteous path. 

This person only had one identity, that he had a swallow tattooed on his neck. The age description of this person was unavailable, and it was mentioned that this guy was an assassin. He specialized in using hidden weapons. During his last attack, one of the experts came after him with a self-destructive technique. 

The target suffered injuries in the meridian system and is now supposed to be looking for an herb to fix him. This herb was called the Renewal Lily. This lily would bloom nine times and wilt eight times. The ninth bloom will have nine golden leaves. Swallowing one of these golden leaves was strong enough to repair even the broken dantian, so injured meridians were not very difficult for it. 

Shi Lang thought about it and concluded that he had two ways to go and hunt this guy. One was to look for a person with a swallow tattoo, and the other was to look for the Renewal Lily. Under the task content, it was mentioned that the task duration was a month long. Shi Lang rolled up the scroll and placed it back in his space ring. 

After that was done, the young man went out of the building. His part was done, and now he was headed to the cloud pavilion. He needed to submit the corpses of the people and find out the information they had gathered about Amelia. 

He was way more anxious than he showed at the moment. The young man left the Head-hunter building after signing his form that he had no problem with the task. 

If he failed to complete the task or suffered any injury, it had nothing to do with the Head-Hunting organization. Shi Lang moved through the streets and came to the location of the Cloud Pavilion that he had already confirmed earlier. 

He came inside the hall and found the receptionist. The lady asked, "How can I help you, sir?" 

She was slightly dizzy. Perhaps it was the effect of staying awake all night, but Shi Lang did not care. He said, "I wanted to ask if I could turn in a task." 

His cold voice startled the lady, and replied, "Yes, sir, what task it may be?" 

Shi Lang presented her with the scroll. The lady looked at the scroll, opened her eyes wide, and exclaimed, "Cloud Emmisary task." 

She looked at the terran and said, "I will inform the emissary to come, and she will attend to you immediately." 

Shi Lang nodded, and the lady left the reception counter. The terran looked around and found himself a chair to sit down while he waited. The pavilion was empty, and no other person was in sight. 

The terran sat down and began to meditate. Lei Hu was sitting in his lap, looking very docile. After a few minutes, the reception lady rushed back and came beside Shi Lang. The black cat in his lap raised its head and hissed at the lady, frightening her. 

Shi Lang opened his eyes and patted the head of the cat. Lei Hu feared the terrain could send him back to the Inheritance palace. Lei Hu did not wish to train with those old ghosts. Although it was good for him, if he were to take such a treatment in the long term, it would kill him. 

The terran asked, "What is it, miss?" 

The receptionist replied, "Sir, the emissary is here. You can see her now." 

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "I see, thank you." 

The terran stood up from the chair and followed the lady through the corridors. They came to a room, and the lady pushed the door and asked him to go inside. Shi Lang said, "Lei Hu, guard the place." 

Then he entered the room and found a middle-aged lady sitting behind a table holding the scroll he had passed. She smiled and gestured for him to sit down. Shi Lang did as he was asked, and the lady asked, "Sir, can you show the proof of completion?" 

Shi Lang nodded and waved his hand. The next moment, a pile of corpses appeared in a corner of the room. The lady was surprised for a second before she calmed down and stood up to verify the identities of the corpses. 

After a few minutes, she said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will get the information you sought." 

The lady closed her eyes for a second. The terran noticed fluctuations in the array pattern engraved on the table. He understood that this array allowed the cloud pavilion emissaries to gather and share information. A few minutes later, she picked up the scroll and wrote a few things on it. 

Shi Lang leaned forward when he watched the lady hand him a scroll. She said, "Sir, the information is a bit sensitive. It is advised that you destroy the scroll after reading it." 

Shi Lang nodded, opened the scroll, and read the content. Thankfully, he had specifically asked for Amelia by her name. The scroll read, 'Amelia claims to be a terran, ascended from a lower realm. Strangely, the demonic cultivators immediately attacked her when she exited the ascension palace. However, Elder Min of the War Maiden Sect and her disciple Ying Yu rescued her and took her away to the War Maiden Sect in the immortal realm's northern provinces.'

The terran momentarily asked, "Senior, can the Cloud Pavilion deliver a message to the person I am looking for?" 

The lady was surprised and then said, "Yes, we can, but the commission is very high." 

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "How high?" 

The lady said, "Depending on the package, ten thousand top-grade spirit stones is the minimum." 

Shi Lang nodded, took out a parchment roll, and scribbled on it before her. He neatly folded the letter and drew a symbol on top of it. Then he passed the letter to the lady and said, "Here, deliver this for me." 

Then he took a bag of spirit stones from his space ring and asked, "Are these enough?" 

The lady was surprised when she saw him take out the money so easily. This was a significant sum of money, and even some people from wealthy families could not pay out this easily. 

She took a deep breath and nodded. The lady said, "Are you expecting a reply?" 

Shi Lang nodded, and the lady said, "I suggest you mention that in the letter. Also, can you tell me where we can find you?" 

The terran thought about it and asked, "How many days before this letter can be delivered?" 

The lady said, "A month or two." 

Shi Lang frowned and said, "I will collect it from the cloud pavilion in any province I am in. Would that be possible?" 

The lady nodded and said, "Yes. You will need to pay six thousand top-grade spirit stones, too." 

Shi Lang narrowed his eyes and said, "You all know how to squeeze a person." 

He placed the spirit stones on the table and then stood up from his seat. He said, "I will come and check if the letter has been delivered in a month." 

The lady took out a jade slip and channeled her spirit energy inside it. Then she said, "You can present this slip to the pavilion when you arrive to check if the reply has arrived." 

Shi Lang accepted the jade slip and was about to leave when he turned around and said, "How much would it cost to gather some other information?" 

The lady was surprised, and then, with a completely monotonous smile, she said, "As I said, it would depend on the question." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "How many to cure damaged meridians?" 

The lady thought briefly and said, "Ten low-grade spirit stones." 

Shi Lang sat back on the chair and passed one middle-grade stone to her, and she operated the array again before picking up a scroll and listing the few things on it. This sort of information could be discovered in a library, but Shi Lang did not have the time to do so. He waited patiently, and when the lady was about to give him the rest of the spirit stones back, he asked, "Which factions use tattoos as a part of their identification?" 

The lady deducted the same amount as before and began to write all the names on the scroll. Shi Lang paid five low-grade spirit stones to find out the tattoos they use specifically. 

After that, he left the place. He now had a better idea because, in the details he found out, three factions used bird tattoos to identify each other. In his further questions, he asked about the background of these forces and found that one belongs to Yandou province. This place was where one could cure there damaged meridians. Even if he did not have any leads, he did have a clear direction to investigate now.
