538: Mission accomplished! Time to buy peace!

When Su Lie saw the Xuanhuang Talent, he couldn't help but be stunned.

the rules of this Talent had not changed at all.

This indicated that the Mysterious Yellow Energy's consumption this time did not bring any rule changes to the Xuanhuang Talent.

This left Su Lie utterly disappointed!

"Holy crap! So many old monsters, they wouldn't even leave behind a single rule!"

"Damn! The Mysterious Yellow Energy only consumed some energy, it didn't get any rules! What a pity! What a shame!"

"These old Undying ones are so stingy!"

Su Lie couldn't help but complain.

He also realized a truth through this incident: "It seems there really are some old Undying ones staring at us. If the mist rule hadn't rewarded me with the title of lord of the abyss of silence this time, I... would probably be dead now!"

"Damn it!"

"Since they can't catch me in the Silent Abyss, they will definitely set a trap elsewhere!"

"I don't even dare to leave this place now!"

"Going out is definitely a dead end!"

"That's truly disgusting!"

"Am I going to be trapped in the Silent Abyss for the rest of my life?"

"Being too outstanding is also a sin!"

Just as Su Lie finished complaining and was preparing for his next step.

A mission notification from the mist rule appeared before his eyes.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations, you have received a mission from Qingfeng, the president of the Mist Survivors Guild!]

[Mission Requirement: Please enter the Punishment Hall of the Mist Survivors Guild within 5 minutes!]

[Mission Reward: None]

[Note: This is a meeting mission; you may choose not to accept it.]

[Note: Failure to complete the mission yields no reward!]

... Seeing this, Su Lie realized that Qingfeng must have something important to discuss with him.

Otherwise, Qingfeng would not arrange to meet him in this manner.

This made Su Lie's eyes light up: "That's right! Sister Qingfeng definitely has a way to help me! Plus, I need to go to the Guild anyway!"

Thinking of this.

He immediately accepted the mission.

Su Lie had no time to check his spoils and other gains, and immediately exited the state of unity between man and outer aspect.

He stepped down from the bone throne and instructed the spirit of the territory: "Su Ling! You take control of the outer aspect, and for now, don't do anything! I'm going to the Guild!"

"Yes, Master!"

Su Ling quickly accepted the command.

Subsequently.

He first went outside.

Su Lie brought the unconscious Yue Ling back to the Great Joy Tower within the territory and settled her on a Solid Wood Bed on the 9th floor to rest.

Only then did he hurriedly use the entrance channel in the mist manual to enter the Mist Survivors Guild.

Buzz!

When Su Lie arrived at the teleportation plaza of the Mist Survivors Guild.

"Su Lie! Over here!"

A clear voice rang out.

Li Fengxian of the Punishment Hall stood eagerly outside the plaza, enthusiastically greeting Su Lie.

This caused the Survivors coming and going to pause and look toward Su Lie.

"Holy crap! Is that Su Lie?"

"He's so young!"

"Xingtian Group Leader Li Fengxian is personally greeting him? What a huge deal!"

"This is the Su Lie who created two miracles in just two or three hours and was heavily penalized once? He doesn't look like much, does he?"

"He's handsome! If a man like that could be my boyfriend, I'd definitely have boundless glory in the future!"

... Su Lie instantly heard the surrounding chatter. He turned his head to look at the Survivors observing him and strode toward Li Fengxian.

After meeting Su Lie, Li Fengxian said with slight apology: "Sorry! Sorry! I forgot to be more discreet! You are now a celebrity in the eyes of all the Survivors in the entire Guild!"

"What do you mean? The mist rule's Guild reward didn't spread my business to all the Survivors, did it?"

Su Lie was stunned, and he abruptly turned his head to look at Li Fengxian.

Li Fengxian laughed heartily, nodded at Su Lie, and said: "That's right! You count as a celebrity in our Survivor community! After all, there are many Survivors who can set historical precedents!"

"But you are the only one who has managed to consecutively set two historical records within 3 hours!"

"But speaking of which, how exactly did you get the title of lord of the abyss of silence? I heard that the Silent Abyss has changed drastically, and it seems only one area is left. Something big must have happened there, right?"

Facing Li Fengxian's question.

Su Lie smiled faintly, shaking his head: "I just completed a mission, that's all! I thought it was just a simple title! I didn't expect it to be an invincible title!"

"Survivors who set historical records during the Peerage Trial process will all receive such an invincible title!"

Li Fengxian nodded. He said to Su Lie: "This brother is not talented! I also received an invincible lord title! Lord of Fengxian Valley! But your title is much more domineering!"

"Wait! Your name..."

Su Lie turned his head and scrutinized Li Fengxian.

As the two walked, Survivors around them constantly greeted Li Fengxian.

There were also some Spirit Servants who knew Su Lie and proactively greeted him.

Su Lie responded to them one by one.

Li Fengxian laughed heartily and said mysteriously: "My real name can't be used anymore. It was ruined by those damned monster races, so I had to use a new name!"

"Oh, right!"

"You must have encountered a lot of old monsters fishing for you this time, right?"

"How was it? Was your Dao Heart damaged? Do you still dare to continue growing stronger and keep being so awesome?"

His words seemed casual, but in reality, his question was filled with emotion.

As if he had once suffered the same treatment.

Su Lie turned to Li Fengxian: "It was fine! It's just that those old geezers were too damn poor! They weren't willing to leave even a bit of interest!"

"Haha! You are truly interesting!"

Li Fengxian gave him a thumbs up.

The two quickly arrived at the plaza in front of the Punishment Hall.

Li Fengxian sighed as he walked: "This is also a test! If you weren't frightened, then congratulations, you will usher in your new life! If you were scared out of your wits, lost your faith, and lost your will, then you will be abandoned by the mist rule!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Lie turned his head back in confusion.

The two walked into the main hall of the Punishment Hall.

Li Fengxian smiled mysteriously: "Nothing much! Just congratulations on becoming a true leader among countless Survivors!"

"To be honest!"

"When I was being fought over by those old Undying ones back then, I almost wet my pants!"

As he spoke.

The two arrived at a study room behind the main hall.

Qingfeng, who was handling affairs, looked up at the two. She nodded slightly at Su Lie, then looked at Li Fengxian: "Fengxian! Don't bring up those old stories! You should focus on how to improve your strength and pass the Fourth-Turn Class Change Trial!"

"Uh! Aren't I in the preparation stage right now!"

Li Fengxian scratched his head awkwardly.

Qingfeng glared at him with disappointment: "You've already wasted two years! First Moon and Wang Baobao have already successfully completed their Class Change! You became famous earlier than them, but your luck hasn't been great lately!"

"I suggest you go to the mist rule's great hall and pay respects to our Sect Ancestor, the mist rule, and ask it to open a back door for you!"

The last sentence was entirely a joke.

Li Fengxian's face darkened. He quickly bowed in farewell and retreated.

Su Lie then took out his ruyi pouch and handed it to Qingfeng: "Sister Qingfeng! This is what I obtained in the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect Dungeon!"

His conversation with Li Fengxian this time benefited him greatly, and he also felt relieved about his recent encounter: "Thankfully, it wasn't an isolated incident!"

Qingfeng took the pouch and looked inside. A sharp murderous intent surged in her eyes: "Love deserves to die! These hateful foreign races also deserve to die!"

It was at this moment.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the Shell Mission!]

[Reward: 1 Jing point of Mist Guild Contribution Points! 1 talent awakening scroll!]

The reward notification for completing the mission appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

A flash of light appeared in Su Lie's hand, materializing a talent awakening scroll.

He immediately stored the scroll in his inventory slot.

He then checked his Contribution Point account on his personal panel.

His Contribution Points totaled 1 Zillion and 1 Jing point.

Su Lie then asked Qingfeng: "Sister! These shells without souls... what are they used for?"

This was a very heavy question.

The souls of these 10 million Survivors had been extracted, and their Talents and Skills had all been stripped away.

Although they were still alive, they would be better off dead.

Because this was the Mist World!

Qingfeng returned to her desk. After transferring these "living dead," she tossed the ruyi pouch back to Su Lie: "You don't need to worry about this matter!"

"Oh, right!"

"Has Reap of the Xuntian Clan looked for you?"

She asked casually.

As she spoke, she opened a drawer and took out a document.

Su Lie nodded and told Qingfeng about his interaction with Reap exactly as it happened.

Qingfeng nodded: "Reap and his father, Lei Carp, have already guessed some secret information about you through the monitoring map of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect Dungeon, but they chose not to sell the information; instead, they chose to seek refuge with you! What do you think about this?"

"Those who are not of my race are sure to be of a different mind! I don't trust them! And I won't agree to let them become my subordinate vassals!"

Su Lie responded honestly: "If the matter is unavoidable, then I can only sacrifice them!"

Qingfeng smiled: "I thought the same! The intelligence regarding Love selling information about 10 trillion Survivors from the Guild was uncovered by a spy in our Intelligence Hall. The spy subsequently tied up the Xuntian Clan leader's son, Disguised as him, and only personally reported to me after successfully returning to the Guild!"

"Some crooked individuals on our side subsequently sold this information!"

"After the Xuntian Clan leader, Reap, and Lei Carp learned about this, they talked inside the office for a full 10 minutes!"

"Afterward, Reap and Lei Carp were expelled from the clan by Thunder War under the pretext of disobeying the clan leader's orders. The two then incited their supporting clansmen to leave the Xuntian Clan!"

"In the early morning, according to the intelligence we obtained, a direct descendant of Thunder War's branch in the Xuntian Clan, as well as personnel from various sub-branches, left the clan territory and went to various places!"

"At 8 o'clock this morning, just as dawn broke!"

"Various races launched a clan war against the Xuntian Clan. As of now, the Xuntian Clan has consecutively lost 109,382 cities, and Clan Leader Thunder War is preparing to sacrifice himself to quell this disaster!"

After speaking.

She said to Su Lie: "I suspect Reap and Lei Carp deliberately broke ties with Thunder War and then came to you, hoping to use your protection to preserve a branch of their lineage! Of course, they might also use the name of vassalage to scheme and exploit you! Once they have drained you dry, they will use your resources to be reborn! We must guard against this!"

"Are these vassal races common among us Survivors?"

Su Lie looked at Qingfeng and asked.

Qingfeng nodded: "Innumerable! Furthermore, we also have some human races who are vassals to various powerful races. Among them, the Takama-ga-hara faction is a vassal under the Horn-Basin Monoceros Ghost Chicken of Mount Horn-Basin!"

"This Monoceros Ghost Chicken belongs to the Ghost Chicken race, one of the Hundred Strongest Races of the Heavens. They are naturally cunning and cruel, often feeding on insect races, but they are relatively friendly toward the human race!"

"The faction of the Great White, including the Papacy and the Crusaders, are vassals under the Light God Kingdom, specializing in providing faith to the deities of the Heavenly Races in the Divine Kingdom! Their treatment is considered relatively good, but not everyone can become their charger!"

"Besides this, as long as a race is one of the Hundred Strongest Races, they all have human vassals!"

At this moment.

Su Lie couldn't help but ask: "Since they can be vassals! Then why do some humans need to change blood and form through the Life Conversion Array to transform into foreign races?"

Through his conversation with Qingfeng, he learned some basic information.

He also understood.

Earlier, before he had completed his Class Change, the Takama-ga-hara faction mentioned in the Mist announcement about the Survivor community, the assassins he encountered in the Dungeon recently, and the Survivors from Takama-ga-hara currently in the Chat Group, were all one entity.

However, he didn't understand.

Since they could be vassals, why did they still need to change their race to seek refuge with a foreign race?

Qingfeng understood Su Lie's question. She said casually: "You are talking about those Survivors who haven't completed their Second Turn, right?"

"They belong to the lowest level of trash in the Mist World. Trash cannot enter the eyes of foreign races, and they are simply not qualified to become a vassal race. They can only change their identity and become slaves to be accepted!"

"Alright!"

"No more nonsense!"

"The reason I asked you to come here this time is to help you resolve the problem of being targeted by those old Undying ones!"

As soon as she said this.

Su Lie immediately became excited: "Just as I thought!"

This was similar to what he had expected.

Qingfeng curved her lips and handed the document in her hand to Su Lie: "You have two choices. Sign the contract and become a member of the Punishment Hall's Rule Punishment Squad! This way, you will be considered an external employee under the mist rule!"

"Those old guys will no longer be able to make a move against you!"

"And you only need to complete one assigned mission every day!"

"This mission won't waste time. Whenever you go, the time when you return after completing the mission will be the same time as when you left! Essentially, the mission locations are not in the Mist Main World!"

"It's a bit tiring, but the advantage is that you can get generous Contribution Points and also receive some resource rewards! There is even a chance for promotion!"

Speaking up to this point.

She paused for a moment.

Su Lie had already read the contract. He looked up at Qingfeng and asked: "Sister! Why does it require money?"

"There's no helping it! It's stipulated by the mist rule. If you want to become its employee, you have to pay money to buy the identity! Of course, you also have to pass the trial mission of my Punishment Hall!"

Qingfeng shrugged helplessly: "It's not just us; all the other Halls are the same! Especially for someone like you, a Survivor who wasn't cultivated by the Punishment Hall starting from Level 50, the requirements are very strict! I believe that with your strength, there will be no problem at all!"

"What about the second method?"

Su Lie asked again.

Qingfeng cleared her throat twice: "It's also about paying money to avert disaster! The second method is to pay money to buy a Protection Trial mission. Upon completion, you can gain the protection of the mist rule! This protection has a time limit!"

"It can only guarantee protection for you up until you become a Third-Turn Professional. During this period, beings above the Third Turn will not come looking for trouble!"

"After you reach the Third Turn, you can spend 10 times the price to purchase another Protection Trial. Upon completion, you can similarly receive the protection of the mist rule, and the duration is also one Class Change period! In short, the higher your rank, the greater the cost!"

"As for the price! It's quite appealing!"

"1,000 Mist Reputation!"

Qingfeng smiled and said to Su Lie: "If you have this many Mist Points, I can help you exchange them for Reputation!"
