The Alchemist God Chapter 146 – Killing mission

Chapter 146: Killing mission

Luo Yu held a scarlet red crystal as he slowly came out of the headquarters. His eyes fell onto the crowd and he said, “Lin Yan who has just returned, bring your prey over for me to see.”

Lin Mu Yu immediately came out of the crowd with the two spirit beast corpses and placed them onto the floor before saying, “Envoy Luo Yu, they are all here.”

“Did you really hunt them down?” Luo Yu asked in a light voice.

“Yes.”

“Very good.” Luo Yu slowly took out the crystal and said, “Channel your strongest power into this crystal, I want to see your strength.”

Lin Mu Yu did not say a word as he took a step forward and placed his palm on the crystal. With a deep hum, he slowly released 10% of his true qi into the crystal. He was unable to gather more because of the changes that had occurred with his body. The most common type of energy was true qi, but his body had been refined with the Dragon Forged Bone Tome which converted his battle qi into True Dragon Flames, which was also a kind of energy that looked the same on the outside as true qi.

“Weng, weng, weng…..”

The scarlet crystal flashed and revealed four long and three short lines of light after slowly shaking. Lin Mu Yu made use of his energy control skills to reach a balance.

“Un?”

Luo Yu’s eyebrows went up and he revealed a look of astonishment as he said, “You’re a level forty three Battle Venerate, not simple…..Alright, the test is over. Lin Yan, are you willing to become a true member of our Swordsman Hall?”

Lin Mu Yu was a smart person. With a faint smile, he said, “Then what can Swordsman Hall give me?”

Luo Yu couldn’t help laughing, “As long as you become a member of Swordsman Hall, you will have a future of wealth and glory, even having the chance to become a n.o.ble. Right now, I as an Envoy grant you the status of a Silver Ranger. I hope that you will do your best for our Swordsman Hall, always working for the glory of our Swordsman Hall, acting in a righteous manner. Alright, come with me to see the Great Envoy!”

“Yes!”

Lin Mu Yu entered the headquarters where the flames of torches gently swayed on the walls. The Great Envoy Ji Yang and the other Envoy Li Qian Xun were sitting there while several maidservants were dancing on the stage. Although it was winter, they were all wearing very little clothing and their private places were only wrapped in a white cloth. Their delicate bodies could be seen, revealing a kind of indescribable beauty.

However, Lin Mu Yu had no time to appreciate this beauty. He only slightly knit his brows. Thinking about how cold this weather is to the point that even he could not stop shivering, it was cruel to force these girls to dance like this.

Looking up, he saw the Great Envoy Ji Yang sitting in the main seat. There was a giant golden “righteous” character above him.

“Lin Yan.”

Ji Yang curled his lips and asked in a sharp voice, “Where did you come from!?”

Lin Mu Yu heart sank, but his expression did not change as he said, “Great Envoy, I was a mercenary for the Blue Sparrow mercenary group, but I received the suspicion of the vice leader, so I was fired from the group. As for my background, I am from a hunting family that lives on the outskirts of Orchid Goose City. What’s wrong, does the Great Envoy still suspect Lin Yan? If it’s like this, then Lin Yan will immediately leave and never try to join Swordsman Hall again.”

His voice was calm, without any fear at all.

Ji Yang couldn’t help standing up, laughing as he said, “Good brat, I like your fearless att.i.tude! However, since you want to join Swordsman Hall and become one of our brothers, then you must swear to never harm Swordsman Hall. How about it?”

“I can.”

Lin Mu Yu gave a secret laugh. Since he was using this Lin Yan name and his big brother was in another plane, so it didn’t matter even if he did break the oath because he was not Lin Yan.

“Alright, read the oath with me.”

Ji Yang stood up and closed his eyes. His face had no expression on it as he said in a trembling voice, “A human must have his humanity, all beings are equal. The white mountain alliance, life and death for our bond. Under the heavens, a blood oath is sworn upon this earth, with death following the breaking of this oath!”

Although Lin Mu Yu could not understand it, he still repeated it, “A human must have his humanity, all beings are equal. The white mountain alliance, life and death for our bond. Under the heavens, a blood oath is sworn upon this earth, with death following the breaking of this oath!”

To the side, Luo Yu clapped his hand and said with a smile, “Alright, sir Lin Yan is a Silver Ranger of our Swordsman Hall and has entered our upper ranks. As long as he can complete a killing mission, then he can become a Gold Ranger!”

“Killing mission?” Lin Mu Yu was stunned.

Ji Yang nodded, “That’s right, to become a Gold Ranger, you have to kill an enemy leader, otherwise you can’t prove your sincerity. Envoy Luo Yu, take a look. What mission is appropriate for Lin Yan?”

Luo Yu thought for a bit and said, “There is a North Mountain to the north of our camp that has been taken over by a mercenary group. That mercenary group has repeatedly fought against our Swordsman Hall and has robbed many people around the mountain, causing all the villagers to protest about them. I think, how about we make a move against those mercenaries?”

Ji Yang frowned, “North Mountain…..Isn’t that the territory of the Day After Mercenaries? Making Lin Yan go to North Mountain for his killing mission, it seems…..a little inappropriate. As far as I know, the heads of the Day After Mercenaries are at the Earth Realm third tier. It’s easy for Lin Yan to go up the mountain, but it’ll be hard for him to come back down alive.”

Luo Yu revealed a faint smile and said, “No need to go up the mountain. According to my investigations, tomorrow afternoon, the Day After Mercenaries will leave the mountain for a ‘patrol’. They are planning to rob the citizens of Blue Lake Town and the third captain, Nie Yan will personally descend from the mountain. Envoy Li Qian Xun and I will personally go along, so even if anything goes wrong, we will be able to help.”

Ji Yang couldn’t help smiling, “Alright. Since it’s like this, Lin Yan, do you agree?”

Lin Mu Yu secretly gripped his fists and cursed Ji Yang. This was someone clearly at the Earth Realm third tier which was much stronger that the Earth Realm second tier, so this was clearly sending him to his death. The Swordsman Hall really was a cutthroat place. To rise up to the rank of Gold Ranger, he had to pay quite a heavy price.

However, to complete the ruler Qin Jin’s orders, he had no choice but to go along with this and act out a good play.

“Yes, everything will be as you planned.” He cupped his fists and indicated his agreement.

Li Qian Xun gave a loud laugh, “This is good. Have a good rest tonight, we will leave at midnight. We will arrive in Blue Lake Town ahead of time and wait to gain our profit!”

“Un.”

In the afternoon, Lin Mu Yu was arranged a new room according to his new Silver Ranger Status. It was a white walled, black tiled room which was very s.p.a.cious and very quiet. He closed the door to cultivate the Dragon Forged Bone Tome. After seventy two rotations, his body felt very refreshed and battle qi flowed through his veins.

At this moment, a knock came from the door. A girl’s voice sounded, “Sir Lin Yan, this miss is here to serve you, please open the door!”

Lin Mu Yu was stunned, but he remembered what Long Yan said to him. Silver Rangers had a chance to be served by a girl every three days, it seemed like he got his opportunity the day he became a Silver Ranger.

“No need, I don’t need it for now.” He rejected her. It was for no reason other than the fact that the Swordsman Hall woman had been with countless men. On one hand, he was unwilling and on the other hand, it was because she was dirty!

No one would have thought that this girl would not give up. She directly opened the door and standing in a charming manner, she said with a smile, “How could sir Lin say this? What man doesn’t want to have a woman?”

This girl was wearing a light yellow skirt, but her weight was shocking. This was a “beautiful woman” weighing over one hundred and fifty pounds, that had an ugly face. Lin Mu Yu counted a total of four chins and her body trembled as she walked. This kind of weight was something that a normal person could not handle.

“f.u.c.k…..”

Lin Mu Yu cursed in his heart. That sly fox Ji Yang, why was the woman he sent so ugly? Even if you have suspicions in your heart, you shouldn’t place a honey trap with this kind of spoiled honey. There was no chance of this ever succeeding!

The bottom of his heart cursed a million times. With such an ugly face, he was unable to look away as he said, “You should quickly leave, otherwise don’t blame my sword for being merciless.”

“Dang!”

The prairie sword came halfway out of the sheath and the flames enveloped the blade, releasing a thick killing intent.

“Humph!”

The woman gave a charming angry “snort” and said, “Look at your appearance, I thought that you were a romantic fellow, but it seems like you’re just an ignorant fool. Forget it, you’re the one that doesn’t want!”

She angrily marched out the door and Lin Mu Yu let out a sigh of relief. This could be considered escaping a trial.

Until evening time, a person knocked on his door. It was the sound of Envoy Luo Yu, “Sir Lin Yan, are you sleeping? I am Luo Yu.”

“I’m not, please come in sir Envoy!”

Lin Mu Yu stood up and sat down by the bed. When he saw Luo Yu enter the room, the cold wind came in and the lamp’s flames continued to flicker. Lin Mu Yu revealed a faint smile, “What business does sir Envoy have with me?”

Luo Yu also revealed a smile before sitting on the stool to the side and saying, “I am here to give you something.”

“What thing?”

Luo Yu took out something wrapped in a black cloth and slowly opened it layer by layer. It was an impressive glowing metal crossbow. With a smile, he said, “This is a weapon from the western region called the black iron crossbow. It is very powerful and I’ve prepared some arrows that have been covered in poison. Tomorrow you’ll face a powerful opponent, perhaps this black iron crossbow will be able to help you.”

“Oh?”

Lin Mu Yu felt grat.i.tude and received the black iron crossbow before saying, “Many thanks Envoy Luo Yu. Is this…..something sent from the Great Envoy?”

Luo Yu gave a bitter laugh and shook his head as he said, “No, this is from me. Sir Lin Yan is an outstanding youth and should not take this kind of risk. Luo Yu does not want you to die under Nie Yan’s palms.”

Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help his heart from feeling a little warmth. Although this Swordsman Hall’s aura was bad, there was a loyal person like Luo Yu which gave him a little bit of hope.
