274: Setting up a scheme

While Li Haotian was cultivating, a voice transmission suddenly appeared in his mind; it was from his subordinates in the Law Enforcement Team.

"Boss, a member of our 10th squad went to carry out a mission and has gone missing. Today is our turn to patrol, but he still hasn't returned. He must have encountered some danger."

Upon hearing this, Li Haotian immediately frowned. He instructed them to continue their law enforcement duties and then reported the matter.

After some investigation, he learned that the team member had gone to carry out a mission to clear out a Loose Immortal Realm Yao Beast in a nearby forest.

After going there, the person never returned.

Li Haotian felt that something was wrong; logically, a Loose Immortal Realm Yao Beast shouldn't be able to defeat a member of the Law Enforcement Team.

These missions generally involve Yao Beasts at the Early Stage Loose Immortal Realm.

Most members of their Law Enforcement Team are at the third stage of the Loose Immortal Realm or higher, and the one who went missing was an expert among the patrol units.

His strength was at the sixth stage of the Loose Immortal Realm.

To be dealt with so easily, there must be something fishy hidden behind it.

Li Haotian frowned, and the System quickly responded, promptly issuing a mission.

"Detected that the Host is about to be ambushed. If the Host counter-kills, you will be rewarded with 1 x Immortal Emperor Realm Experience Card."

"The danger level of this mission is low. Please use your own discretion, Host."

Upon hearing that the danger level was low, Li Haotian immediately felt relieved. He stretched his muscles and headed towards the place where the person had disappeared.

As long as he could find the body and investigate it, he would be able to reach a conclusion; it was highly likely that the person had been ambushed.

He would likely be targeted this time as well, but it wouldn't be a big problem.

As soon as he left the city, someone immediately sent a message, and then countless black shadows followed him out of the city.

Li Haotian pondered in his heart about the group of people he had disgusted before; they would definitely continue to retaliate against him. This was very likely a trap they had set.

Those guys were truly excessive; they had openly demanded that he accept bribes. The problem was that he wasn't willing, and they actually dared to force him.

Such behavior made Li Haotian very confused.

After arriving at the forest where the person had been carrying out the mission, Li Haotian leaped down from the air and jumped into the forest.

More than a dozen black shadows followed closely behind.

Li Haotian quickly discovered bloodstains in the forest; his subordinate was already dead, and the cold corpse lay on a tree.

There was clearly a sword wound on the person's abdomen. It was absolutely impossible for that to have been caused by a Loose Immortal Realm Yao Beast; someone must have attacked from the shadows.

Li Haotian recorded everything and prepared to leave with the body when he suddenly saw more than 10 people dash out from the surrounding forest.

Even though they were masked and had their faces completely covered.

Li Haotian recognized at a glance that these were exactly the people who were causing him trouble.

"Aren't you quite good with the law, kid? Is your law still useful here now?"

The aura radiating from their bodies was still that of Earth Immortals.

"You guys haven't had any changes in your Realm, yet you come to cause me trouble. Isn't this just asking for death?"

"It is true that there are no laws restricting things here, but I can also kill all of you here."

Li Haotian stretched his muscles when he suddenly felt an extremely sharp Sword Intent stabbing towards him from behind, and he quickly dodged to the side.

A man with the aura of a Heavenly Immortal appeared behind him. The other party was not masked because, in his eyes, Li Haotian was already a dead man.

"Your reactions are quite fast, but with us here plus a Peak Heavenly Immortal Powerhouse, if you can survive today, I will commit suicide!"

Everyone gritted their teeth viciously. They had paid a huge price, spending almost a year's salary, to barely manage to hire this Peak Heavenly Immortal Powerhouse to take action.

The other party was planning to make a Breakthrough to a higher Realm recently, which is why he agreed to their request. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do such things as murder and robbery; although there was a lot of money, he wouldn't have the life to spend it.

"Impressive, you guys are really great. Regardless, I've been around for so long, how could I not have some friends?"

A mysterious smile hung on Li Haotian's face as he retreated.

An extremely familiar figure suddenly appeared beside him; this was the Law Enforcement Team member who had previously led the group to arrest all of them, fine them, and demand compensation.

"I used the rules to help him avoid some things, and this brother agreed to help me take action once. His Cultivation is only at the Late Stage Heavenly Immortal, so he is definitely no match for a Peak Heavenly Immortal."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But in order to help me repay this favor, he brought the entire Law Enforcement Team here today."

After Li Haotian finished speaking, 20 Late Stage Heavenly Immortal Powerhouses appeared in the air together.

The scene suddenly became incredibly awkward.

Those masked Earth Immortal Powerhouses still wanted to escape, but they were captured immediately.

"Murder; the Law Enforcement Team has the right to execute on the spot."

Li Haotian recited those legal clauses again. The Law Enforcement Team did not hesitate to start attacking. The Peak Heavenly Immortal Powerhouse turned and ran; his face had already been seen.

What awaited him would be being hunted down by the entire Anbei Immortal Kingdom.

As expected, the Law Enforcement Team members did not stop the Peak Heavenly Immortal Powerhouse, and he managed to escape, but they captured all the other Earth Immortal Powerhouses and subsequently executed them one by one.

"After this time, the favor between you and me is settled. You are so well-versed in the laws; you should have great prospects in the Law Enforcement Team in the future. I look forward to you becoming my colleague."

The man named Li Qing gently wiped the blood from his Long Sword.

"What are the requirements to join the Law Enforcement Team again?"

Li Haotian could no longer remember such things.

He now wanted to have a more powerful identity and legal rights.

Climbing up step by step to the power hierarchy of the Anbei Immortal Kingdom was the fastest and most effective way.

When the time comes, he would see if he could move the Heavenly Profound Sect to the Anbei Immortal Kingdom and then develop steadily.

Currently, the Heavenly Profound Sect is in a remote corner where there is basically no influence, and everywhere is filled with rampant Vicious Beasts. If the Sect didn't have that Heavenly Immortal Powerhouse and the Sect Protecting Grand Array, it would have been breached long ago.

Things cannot go on like this; he must have a stable environment as soon as possible.

"The first condition is to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The second condition is to either make a major contribution to the Immortal Kingdom or to serve in the position of Patrol Team leader for two thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Li Haotian immediately felt a headache.

Two thousand years; he didn't have that much time to waste here.

Now it seems the fastest way is to do something earth-shattering and become someone who has made outstanding contributions to the Immortal Kingdom.

After returning to the Anbei Royal City, Li Haotian immediately went to find the place to accept missions.

The missions listed were not very difficult.

In the end, Li Haotian locked his gaze on a mission with an unknown rating.
