# Chapter 23: The Three Children of the Jade Ink Tiger

The bounty missions of the Dark Hall within the Yanfeng Guild were divided into several categories, including protection, employment, and assassination. Among these, assassination missions undoubtedly offered the highest rewards.

“Let’s look at the ones with high bounties.” Luo Feng said, sipping his wine as he examined the assassination missions.

The mission with the highest reward: Kill “Demonic Owl” Mo Li Xiao, the Supreme Commander of the Huyang Legion. The reward was 1.2 million universe sand.

“To offer a reward of 1.2 million universe sand, and not fear the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s most likely the Devouring Kingdom,” Luo Feng guessed. “According to the rules of the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild, for assassination missions, the reward must be paid to the Yanfeng Guild in advance. If the mission is not completed, the reward remains with the Yanfeng Guild! Without sufficient foundation, no one would be willing to leave such a huge sum of wealth there for a long period.”

The mission with the second-highest reward: Kill “Blood Cloud”, the leader of the Devouring Kingdom’s forces within Huyang City. The reward was 1 million universe sand.

The mission with the third-highest reward: Kill “Candle Hawk” Zhu Gu, the leader of the Candle Clan. The reward was 530,000 universe sand.

The mission with the fourth-highest reward: Kill “Prisoner of Purity” Chun Yu Yi, the Master of the Puppet Shadow Tower. The reward was 180,000 universe sand.

…

The mission with the seventh-highest reward: Kill “Shepherd Yang” Mu Yang, the leader of the Blood Python Society. The reward was 120,000 universe sand.

…

Luo Feng saw the familiar bounty for the Blood Python Society’s leader. To be ranked seventh, the Blood Python Society leader’s enemies were quite generous!

“The top three bounties are quite high, and then they drop off significantly,” Luo Feng noted. He had received detailed information about Huyang City from Shang Tian Yan, so he also understood the information about the powerful figures on these bounty missions.

Mo Li Xiao: The strongest member of the City Lord’s Mansion’s five great families, and the Supreme Commander of the Huyang Legion.

He possessed formidable individual strength. The Yuguo Kingdom’s capital had dispatched him to oversee a large city, equipped him with the best military mecha treasures, and his personal guard was incredibly elite.

Individually powerful and commanding a legion, Mo Li Xiao was extremely terrifying.

Blood Cloud: The leader of the Devouring Kingdom’s forces within Huyang City. Having long been lurking within Huyang City, he had caused great losses to the City Lord’s Mansion’s five great families, who had been unable to do anything about it.

These two were very strong, and their backgrounds were extraordinary.

The two had clashed more than once.

“Candle Hawk of the Candle Clan is ranked third?” Luo Feng wondered. “The Candle Clan is a local family in Huyang City that runs an honest business. In theory, they shouldn’t have any enemies. Candle Hawk’s bounty is actually higher than the bounties of those dark force leaders? The most important thing is that the long-term bounty of 530,000 universe sand hasn’t disrupted the Candle Clan’s stability.”

From these assassination missions, Luo Feng could see that Mo Li Xiao, Blood Cloud, and Candle Hawk were three people in Huyang City who were absolutely not to be trifled with.

“Of course, figures like the Yanfeng Guild’s master, me, and those old fellows hidden in Huyang City don’t have bounties,” Luo Feng smiled. “Having no bounty doesn’t mean weakness.”

“Which of these assassination missions should I choose?”

Luo Feng began to consider.

Employment missions and protection missions took up a lot of time and energy, but offered less reward. Naturally, he should choose an assassination mission.

“The leaders of the dark forces, who commit all kinds of evil, can all be considered as options,” Luo Feng thought. He naturally had his own criteria for acting and would only kill those who deserved it! The dark force leaders had committed countless atrocities and could naturally be added to the list of candidates.

“The Blood Python Society leader’s bounty is a bit low,” Luo Feng slightly shook his head. Three dark force leaders had higher bounties than the Blood Python Society leader, so he had to study them carefully.

Since this was his first time accepting a bounty, he naturally had to succeed.

He also needed to do his preparatory work.

******

Luo Feng was sitting on a large rock on a high mountain, researching potential targets when suddenly a figure flew close.

“Master,” Mo Luo Sa said, “That Jade Ink Tiger has come to visit.”

“Jade Ink Tiger?” Luo Feng was surprised. The first Void True God he had met after coming to the Origin Continent was the Jade Ink Tiger.

“The Jade Ink Tiger also visited when you were in seclusion for over an epoch,” Mo Luo Sa said. “Knowing that you were in seclusion, he didn’t disturb you again. This is his second visit.”

Luo Feng laughed: “Second time? Let him come in.”

“Alright,” Mo Luo Sa nodded, then couldn’t help but say, “Master, shouldn’t we recruit some servants?”

“Recruit servants? We focus on cultivation within the cave dwelling. We can prepare wine and fruit in advance. What do we need servants for?” Luo Feng laughed. “When we’re out and about, aren’t you my servant?”

Mo Luo Sa said in a low voice: “Master, your reputation in Huyang City is growing, and there are more people visiting you. I have to guard the door and serve you as a servant.”

Luo Feng smiled.

When guests visited, the only servant, Mo Luo Sa, had to prepare fine wine and food and serve by the side. Although Mo Luo Sa was disguising his strength, he was still an Eternal True God-level World Beast and was constantly getting stronger. He might even break through to the Chaos Realm faster than Luo Feng, so it wasn’t suitable for him to do chores.

“It’s my fault,” Luo Feng laughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll recruit servants in the next couple of days.”

“I’m not in that much of a hurry,” Mo Luo Sa said, smiling as he flew towards the cave dwelling’s entrance to bring the Jade Ink Tiger in.

The Jade Ink Tiger was a little reserved and nervous as he followed Mo Luo Sa to the high mountain.

“Greetings, Honored One,” the Jade Ink Tiger said respectfully.

As a Void True God, he was considered to be in the middle class within Huyang City. The news that a dark force called the Blood Python Society had been forced to bow down by an Eternal True God named Luo He was the hottest topic in Huyang City, and of course the Jade Ink Tiger knew about it.

Luo Feng sat leisurely there, looking at the Jade Ink Tiger: “You’ve come to me. What is it?”

“The Honored One said that I could ask the Honored One for help,” the Jade Ink Tiger was a little nervous, but according to his understanding of this Honored One, Lord Luo He was a Eternal True God with a good temper. “Yes, I promised,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “My promises are very valuable. Are you just going to use it like this?”

The Jade Ink Tiger flipped his hand, and a gray hammer appeared in his hand. He respectfully held the hammer: “This weapon is the greatest gain of my life. I was exploring a treasure outside the city and was fortunate enough to discover a Eternal True God’s corpse. The most valuable thing was the Eternal True God’s weapon. I am willing to offer this weapon to the Honored One, only wishing to ask for a chance for my children to become disciples.”

Luo Feng looked at the hammer in surprise: “This is indeed a Eternal True God-level weapon treasure. According to my estimation, it’s worth about 6,000 universe sand. You’re just a small Void True God, how could you have such a harvest? And you dare to take it out in front of me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll snatch it and kill you to silence you?”

“I wouldn’t dare sell such a treasure to any force, because if the news were leaked, my whole family would be finished,” the Jade Ink Tiger looked at Luo Feng. “I haven’t had much contact with Eternal True Gods, and the only one I trust is the Honored One.”

Last time, when he led the way, he wasn’t killed! He wasn’t robbed! He even got a chance to get help!

The Jade Ink Tiger had determined Luo Feng’s temperament, and it was worth the gamble.

“Haha…” Luo Feng beckoned and took the hammer. “I don’t easily accept disciples.”

“Eternal True Gods don’t easily accept disciples. They usually give tests,” the Jade Ink Tiger said. “I only hope that the Honored One can give me a chance to take the test.”

Luo Feng said: “You should know that I have a conflict with the Blood Python Society.”

“Yes,” the Jade Ink Tiger nodded. “The news has spread throughout Huyang City.” From this conflict, the Jade Ink Tiger could also see how strong the Honored One was! If his children could become the Honored One’s disciples, it would truly be a great opportunity.

Luo Feng said: “In the future, I will have conflicts with other dark forces. The Eternal True Gods who have grudges against me probably won’t be few. If your children follow me, they may be implicated.”

!.

The Jade Ink Tiger was secretly shocked.

He just had a conflict with the Blood Python Society, and he will have conflicts with other dark forces?

“Since we follow the Honored One, we naturally have to bear both good and bad fortune,” the Jade Ink Tiger’s response was quick and decisive, because he knew very well that he only dared to offer the hammer to Luo Feng.

“How many children do you have?” Luo Feng asked.

“Three children, the Honored One can choose one,” the Jade Ink Tiger immediately respectfully offered a book. “This is all the detailed information about my three children.”

Luo Feng beckoned and took it: “You’re quite prepared, but I have to make it clear in advance that I will only recruit one servant now! He will have to undergo a test, and if he doesn’t pass the test, he won’t become my disciple. And the test time will be very long.”

“It’s a great honor for my children to be servants to the Honored One,” the Jade Ink Tiger immediately said.

“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded. “Bring your three children here. I will choose one of them to be my servant.”

The Jade Ink Tiger revealed a happy expression: “I will bring them here immediately.”

He respectfully took his leave and quickly left.

“Master…” Mo Luo Sa looked at the hammer that Luo Feng was playing with, unable to believe it. “You recruited a servant and made a profit of 6,000 universe sand worth of weapon treasure?”

Luo Feng laughed: “I said I would recruit a servant within two days. I’ve recruited one now! Isn’t it fast?”

“Fast!” Mo Luo Sa praised. “And Master, you’re too good at earning.”

“He doesn’t lose out by being my servant for 6,000 universe sand,” Luo Feng laughed.

“I’m also Master’s servant. Of course he doesn’t lose out by being on par with me,” Mo Luo Sa said happily. In the future, he could let the Jade Ink Tiger’s children do a lot of chores.

Mo Luo Sa said: “Master, I can help Master teach that child in the future. You don’t need to worry.”

That way, he would have more of a reason to boss the child around.

“Alright, if I accept a disciple, you will be the child’s second master,” Luo Feng said. “But I won’t easily accept a disciple. If he doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, he will be a servant for the rest of his life.”

Mo Luo Sa nodded: “We have to set a high threshold for accepting disciples when both Master and I are teaching.”

…

The Jade Ink Tiger returned to his home. His home was a small cave dwelling in a common location, which he had bought for 1,000 chaos crystals. It was an average residence among the Void True Gods.

“Father.” The three young True Gods were waiting. They knew that their father was going to visit the Eternal True God “Luo He.” When they saw their father return, they were all excited.

The Jade Ink Tiger looked at his three children with a smile.

In the Origin Continent, love was a luxury! After all, most True Gods had a difficult life of cultivation, not to mention finding a wife and raising children.

The Jade Ink Tiger was very lucky. He met his true love and raised three children together.

Since his wife died, the Jade Ink Tiger cared most about his three children. His three children were more important than his own life.

“Lord Luo He agreed to give us a chance. He will choose one of you three to be a servant,” the Jade Ink Tiger said. “Being a servant and going through many tests will eventually lead to becoming a disciple of Lord Luo He. If you can’t pass the test, you won’t become a disciple of a Eternal True God.”

“We understand.”

“This is a rare opportunity. We will strive for it.”

The three brothers grew up in Huyang City and knew how precious this opportunity was.

The Jade Ink Tiger nodded: “We will leave immediately.”
