The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 493 Zhong Family Mission

Zhongjialou, Yancheng, Da Zhou.

There have been frequent people coming in and out of Zhongjialou recently. It's obvious that something is wrong, and it's not a small matter.

After these years of development, the Zhong family has established its own intelligence network. Although it is still far from impressive compared to those of the sects and families, the unilateral intelligence is still very timely.

For example, what the Zhong family is most concerned about recently is the war between Da Zhou, Da Chu and Yue Kingdom, and basically all information will arrive every other day.

The information came in time, but the expenses were indeed huge. The cost of the communication talismans alone was a bottomless pit, not to mention the salaries and bonuses of so many monks that had to be paid.

So if you want to establish your own intelligence agency but don’t have the corresponding financial resources, then forget about this dream.

Qian'er sat in the boss chair, looking at the latest news, and smiled slightly, saying, "Sun Erleng, who was selected by Chengfeng, is really good at fighting. It hasn't been long since he reached Yingfeng Pass of Da Chu. Once this pass is broken, Da Chu will no longer have any defenses in the south."

Qing'er took the letter from her sister, glanced at it, and said worriedly, "If that's the case, the three sects of the Great Chu are very likely to have taken some action recently~"

Qian'er sneered and said, "I have already made arrangements, I'm just afraid they won't come!"

The Zhong family is now very wealthy, so they naturally hired a lot of worshippers. There are now ten permanent God Transformation cultivators living in the family, five in the late God Transformation stage and five in the middle God Transformation stage.

There are still ten gods in Fancheng. The Zhong family no longer values ​​those in the early stage of the God Transformation, and are willing to hire at least those in the middle stage of the God Transformation.

There aren't many "wild" Divine Transformation cultivators like this in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, and all the prominent ones have been hired by the Zhong family.

At first, these people were reluctant to come. After all, they were used to being free and didn't want to be bound by anything.

But what the Zhong family gave was really too much, even rare resources like the Void-Breaking Pill. How many Jindan cultivators could resist it?

Of course, the Po Void Pill is not something that can be obtained casually. One must make significant contributions to the family to be rewarded with the Po Void Pill. Now is the time to serve the family, and it is also the best opportunity to obtain the Po Void Pill.

Huang Bing is one of the few independent practitioners in the Great Zhou Dynasty who has reached the stage of transformation. His cultivation has reached the late stage of perfection and he is only one step away from reaching the peak of transformation.

The Zhong family hired a total of twenty Jindan cultivators. Apart from Zhou Ru, he had the highest cultivation level.

Zhou Ru has been accompanying the head of the Zhong family for a long time. She basically does not go on missions, and there is no need for her to go on missions. The last time the Nian family assassinated the head of the Zhong family, Zhou Ru never betrayed the Zhong family from beginning to end and fought to the end.

The Zhong family did not treat her unfairly. With a wave of their hands, they gave her a Void Breaking Pill. Now Zhou Ru only had to wait for her realm to be perfected before she could start to break through to the Void Refining Realm. This made those serving priests very envious.

With the deliberate promotion of the Zhong family, this matter spread throughout the entire Great Zhou cultivation world. This incident played a big role in the Zhong family being able to hire so many godsend cultivators.

Huang Bing agreed to join the Zhong family just for the Poxu Pill. For independent cultivators like them, it is almost impossible to get Poxu Pill from other channels. Even if they do get it, they have to risk their lives to get it.

A few years ago, a batch of Po Void Pills and Po Mirror Pills appeared at an auction. The entire cultivation world of the Great Zhou Kingdom was in a bloody storm, and millions of cultivators died. In the end, only a few independent cultivators were able to obtain Po Void Pills.

This time, the Zhong family issued several tasks, one of which was rewarded with the Poxu Dan! This task was issued to them, the worshippers, and the task content was also very simple, "Protect the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Zhixiong for one year."

Huang Bing defeated all his competitors and got the task. He was extremely excited. As long as he could ensure the safety of the Emperor of the Great Zhou for one year, he would be able to obtain the Po Void Pill and have a great chance of being promoted to the Lian Void Realm, doubling his lifespan!

Huang Bing went back to pack up and was ready to leave. Suddenly, a servant from the Zhong family came to the door and said, "Mr. Huang, the master wants to see you." Huang Bing asked in surprise, "Master Li wants to see me? Just me? What's the matter?"

How could the servant know what Qian'er wanted to see him about? He replied truthfully, "Nothing. The master of the house only said whoever accepts the task will go."

Huang Bing nodded with some doubt: "I understand, I'll be there right away."

After the servants left, Huang Bing began to think. Li Qian'er, the head of the Zhong family, rarely came to see the worshippers alone. This time she suddenly came to him, so he guessed it must be related to this mission. Huang Bing muttered with some worry, "I hope nothing strange will happen."

Qian'er was sorting out today's documents. Just as she finished, Huang Bing arrived and stood at the door, clasping his hands and saying, "Does the master of the house want to ask Huang for anything?"

Qian'er said calmly: "Mr. Huang, please come in and sit down and talk." Qian'er has been in power for some time and has the temperament of a superior. Although she is only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, these priests are very cautious when they see her and dare not overstep the line.

Huang Bing was a middle-aged man of medium build and plain appearance. He walked into the office, found his usual seat and sat down. He asked speculatively, "Is the master looking for Huang because of a change in the mission?"

Qian'er shook her head slightly and said, "I did ask you to come here because of that mission, but the mission has not changed. I just want to make another request."

Huang Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this mission that rewards the Void Breaking Pill was cancelled, he would be heartbroken. Since there was no change in the mission, it would not hurt to make more requests. So he bowed and said, "Please tell me, Patriarch~"

Qian'er whispered, and a moment later, another male cultivator in the early stage of incarnation slowly walked in. He walked to Qian'er's desk and bowed, saying, "Zhong Siqin greets the head of the family~" Zhong Siqin, a newly promoted incarnation cultivator of the Zhong family, was young and handsome, and was less than six hundred years old this year.

Qian'er nodded and said, "I asked you two to come here this time because I have something to tell you. I have received news that the three clans of Chu are planning to assassinate the Emperor of Great Zhou, and it should be in the near future."

Huang Bing and Zhou Siqin were not surprised. It was just a precaution before, but now it was a confirmation. Huang Bing asked, "Does the master know who the three sects will send to assassinate the emperor of the Great Zhou?"

Qian'er shook her head and said, "I don't have any specific information, but the cultivators who come here will not have a cultivation level higher than the Spiritualization Stage, so you can rest assured. My request is that no matter who comes, no matter how many there are, you must kill them all!"

Huang Bing hurriedly said, "Kill them all? Patriarch, it's not hard to win a fight between Spiritual Transformation cultivators, but it's definitely not easy to kill them. If it's a cultivator in the early stage of Spiritual Transformation, I'm still confident that I can kill him, but if it's a cultivator in the middle stage of Spiritual Transformation or above, he wants to escape, and I'm afraid I can't stop him..."

Qian'er smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, let me introduce you first. This is Zhong Siqin, the elder of the Zhong family. He will accompany you to protect the Emperor of the Great Zhou this time. He is a formation master."
