178: Chapter 178 Heading to Lianshui City

"Bai Hao, I need you to help me kill someone."

Xu Feng's expression turned completely gloomy.

The reason he wanted to kill Ye Mo was naturally because he noticed that Alchemist Luo and Ye Mo were getting closer and closer.

He would not allow any man to have any interactions with Alchemist Luo.

"Kill whom?"

Bai Hao narrowed his eyes.

"A Disciple who just joined the Alchemy Hall, Ye Mo," Xu Feng said coldly.

"An Alchemy Hall Disciple? Senior Brother Xu, this is an extraordinary period. If a Sect Disciple goes missing for no reason, I fear the Sect will investigate."

Bai Hao frowned slightly.

He was naturally happy to help Xu Feng kill someone, but now that the Immortal-Devil War was ongoing, if a Sect Disciple were killed, the Sect would certainly investigate the cause.

This was also to prevent any demonic cultivators from infiltrating.

"I know. I've thought of a way that will allow you to make your move openly and legitimately."

Ye Mo was now a Named Disciple of the Sect Master.

Xu Feng naturally wouldn't kill Ye Mo for no reason. Although the Sect Master might not say anything, he would certainly have a negative opinion of him.

"What way?" Bai Hao asked immediately.

"Later, I will contact a Disciple from the Alchemy Hall and have him assign a mission to Ye Mo that will take him out of the Sect. Then, I'll have them attack Ye Mo. These people will likely not be Ye Mo's match and should be killed in self-defense by him. Then, you will pretend to pass by and, citing the reason of Sect Disciples killing each other, kill Ye Mo directly!"

Xu Feng said.

"Can you guarantee that the Alchemy Hall Disciple will attack that Ye Mo?" Bai Hao asked again.

"Of course. If nothing goes wrong, Ye Mo currently has a golden core condensation pill on him."

Xu Feng said confidently.

"Oh, then they will certainly attack. However, Senior Brother Xu, how can you be sure that this Ye Mo can kill the Alchemy Hall Disciples in self-defense?"

Upon hearing that Ye Mo had a golden core condensation pill, even Bai Hao's eyes brightened slightly.

Although Bai Hao was also at the Golden Core Realm, the golden core condensation pill was of no use to him.

But if he took it out to sell, he could get quite a few Spirit Stones for it.

So even he was somewhat tempted.

"Because this person has an Undying Body, although he is currently only at the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Xu Feng did not hide it.

"An Undying Body... Does the Sect not know about this?"

Bai Hao almost cried out in shock.

The reputation of the Undying Body was simply too great.

"They know, but Ye Mo only has a White Spirit Root. Having an Undying Body in his body is simply a waste of a heavenly treasure."

Xu Feng sneered repeatedly.

"What, White Spirit Root? Damn, that is such a waste... Rest assured, Senior Brother Xu, I will definitely ensure that his Undying Body returns to the heavens and earth."

On March 12th, Ye Mo did not go to the Alchemy Hall.

Instead, he went to the Mission Department of the Deacon Hall and accepted a mission to clear out Yao Beasts in Lianshui City.

Ye Mo asked the Disciple who posted the mission how many contribution points he could earn for clearing out Yao Beasts.

The mission Disciple replied that it depended on how many Yao Beasts were killed; there were also Sect Disciples in Lianshui City who would keep track.

Qi Refining Yao Beasts were worth 10 points, Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts were 100 points, and Golden Core ones were 1000 points.

Of course, for a Foundation Establishment Disciple, killing Qi Refining Yao Beasts yielded no contribution points; they could only kill Foundation Establishment or Golden Core Yao Beasts.

Ye Mo thought to himself that he only needed to kill five hundred Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts to gather enough for a golden core condensation pill.

For other Foundation Establishment Disciples, it might be difficult, but for Ye Mo, it was as simple as eating and drinking.

So he accepted the mission without hesitation.

After accepting the mission, Ye Mo was about to go to the Alchemy Hall to ask for leave.

Shen Du had told Ye Mo that if one was on a Sect mission, they could ask for leave and not have to perform Alchemy.

However, just as Ye Mo walked into the Alchemy Hall, four Alchemy Hall Disciples walked towards him.

Among them, Ye Mo recognized one: it was Elder Ge Ping of the Alchemy Hall.

When Ye Mo first entered the Alchemy Hall, it was this person who received him.

And he was the exact person Ye Mo was looking for to ask for leave.

However, before Ye Mo could speak, Elder Ge Ping spoke first: "Ye Mo, why are you only here now? There is something I need you to do. Go with them to Tianlei City and deliver these Medicinal Pills to the City Lord of Tianlei City."

As Elder Ge Ping spoke, he took out four Storage Pouches and handed them to the Disciples beside him.

Then he handed the last Storage Pouch to Ye Mo.

"Elder Ge, aren't there usually designated Disciples to deliver Medicinal Pills?"

Ye Mo frowned slightly.

He was confused; why would Elder Ge Ping suddenly ask him to deliver Medicinal Pills?

Such a task didn't seem like it would fall to him.

"We are short-handed right now. Just put in the effort."

Elder Ge Ping did not use a commanding tone.

Ye Mo found it hard to refuse, so he finally nodded and then added: "Elder Ge, I just accepted a mission to go to Lianshui City to kill Yao Beasts. After I finish delivering the Medicinal Pills, I will go directly to Lianshui City. Is that alright?"

"Oh, is that so? That's fine." Elder Ge Ping thought for a moment and agreed.

Ye Mo didn't think too much about it and then headed to Tianlei City with the three Alchemy Hall Disciples.

Tianlei City was not far from Tianlei Sect, less than two hundred li away.

These three Alchemy Hall Disciples were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so they arrived at Tianlei City in just half an hour.

After handing the Medicinal Pills to the City Lord of Tianlei City, Ye Mo left Tianlei City alone.

Lianshui City was quite far from Tianlei Sect.

It was located at the southernmost tip of Nanzhou, nestled within the Tiannan Mountain Range.

If Ye Mo flew there at his Foundation Establishment cultivation level, even flying non-stop for a day, it would take over ten days.

Leaving Tianlei City, Ye Mo flew directly south, not moving very fast.

However, after flying for less than two hours,

Ye Mo immediately stopped.

Because three people had blocked his path ahead; it was exactly the Alchemy Hall Disciples who had accompanied him to deliver the Medicinal Pills.

"Gentlemen, what is the meaning of this?"

Ye Mo asked coldly.

"Ye Mo, did you take the Medicinal Pills? Just now, the City Lord of Tianlei City told us that some Medicinal Pills were missing from the Storage Pouch you were escorting. Tell me, did you secretly take them!"

An Alchemy Hall Disciple suddenly shouted angrily.

"When we handed over the Medicinal Pills, hadn't they already been checked... I'm afraid you all have other intentions, don't you?"

A flash of Killing Intent appeared in Ye Mo's eyes.

Even if the Medicinal Pills were missing, it shouldn't be them coming to find him; the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall would likely have come long ago.

In other words, these people were just making up an excuse to try and stop him.

"Hmph, still trying to quibble? Hand over your Storage Pouch and let us check if you took the Medicinal Pills."

After the Disciple finished speaking, he immediately took out a long spear Magical Artifact.

It seemed that as long as Ye Mo did not hand over the Storage Pouch, he would attack directly.

Ye Mo no longer doubted that these three definitely had other intentions.

It was just that Ye Mo couldn't understand why they would attack him when he had no grudges or enmity with these three.

"It's not impossible for you to want my Storage Pouch, but let's speak plainly. Tell me, where did I offend you, or rather, who instigated you?"

Killing them would be simple, but in case there was someone behind them, Ye Mo had to be on guard.

"Hmph, ask in your next life!"

The three sneered, then attacked Ye Mo directly...
