Chapter 224: 224
Jun Wulei cast a glance at Mo Qingtian, but did not bother with him . Instead, he looked at Mo Wen coldly and said, "What do you want to discuss with me?"
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me accept this mission . "
"You?"
Jun Wulei looked up and down at Mo Wen . This youth was still young, probably not even 20, but he dared to accept a Savages List mission? Since when had such a young expert appeared in the Huatian Palace?
Although geniuses were gathered in the Huatian Palace, a person who reached the Embryonic Breathing realm before he was 20 was rare . Of the Five stars Executors in the Huatian Palace, there were less than five who were younger than 25 . One who was younger than 20 could not have appeared yet, right?
A glint of doubt flashed in Jun Wulei's eyes . He did not know this youth . He did know Mo Qingtian, who was beside him . The Vermilion Bird Palace Hall's only male member would naturally be well known .
Also, Mo Qingtian was very famous due to his talent . He had just entered his twenties, but he already had beginning stage Embryonic Breathing realm cultivation . A few more years, and he probably would not be beneath Jun Wulei .
"That's right . Friend, if you are willing to let me have this mission, I'll be sure to repay you handsomely in the future," Mo Wen said plainly .
"Too bad . I've already accepted the mission . Everything is first come, first served . Don't blame me . "
Jun Wulei looked askance at Mo Wen, then expressionlessly clicked the confirm button on the screen . The next moment, the characters for Gong Biluo's name turned gray, showing that her Hunting Mission had been accepted .
The ring that the Huatian Palace distributed to the Executors was not simple . There were many secrets contained inside, like a miniature magical treasure that had many functions .
Mo Wen had come in contact with the Immortal Cultivation world before, so he naturally understood this .
After Jun Wulei accepted the mission, he then expressionlessly headed out . He did not seem to have the intention of dealing with Mo Wen and Mo Qingtian .
Mo Wen's facial expression chilled . His feet shifted . He wanted to stop Jun Wulei, but Mo Qingtian stopped him instead .

"Don't cause trouble . You are not his opponent yet," Mo Qingtian said in a low voice .
Not to mention, Jun Wulei was not easy to talk to . If Mo Wen enraged him, problems would arise .
Mo Wen frowned and asked, "Who is he?"
"He is called Jun Wulei . He is an outstanding person of the Azure Dragon Palace Hall's younger generation . His cultivation is deep beyond measure . It is said that he reached the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm long ago, and has hopes to reach the Golden Elixir realm . Do you know about the Heaven List Fifty? Jun Wulei is ranked 28 . "
Mo Qingtian looked askance at Mo Wen . Jun Wulei was not a person that he should offend . One could imagine how powerful someone had to be to make the top thirty of the Heaven List Fifty .
Mo Qingtian consoled Mo Wen . "Don't you worry . Before this, a few Executors, whose abilities are above Jun Wulei's, went to kill Gong Biluo, but in the end they failed . Even now that he is going, he may not necessarily succeed . That Gong Biluo is no easy target . "
Although Mo Qingtian did not know what the relationship between Mo Wen and the Demoness was, it certainly would not be normal .
Mo Wen took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly . He couldn't change anything now . He was still too weak . Otherwise, he would not be in such a predicament .
As he slowly opened his eyes, they flashed brightly . He must quickly get stronger, no matter what methods he used .
Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen, and a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes . Just now, for a split second, Mo Wen's body seemed to give off a flash of aura that shocked him . However, by the time he tried to carefully discern it, the aura had disappeared .
Even so, that instant left a deep impression on him . Only the absolute strongest people had such an aura . It was impossible for ordinary people to have such an aura .
The Golden Elixir realm! He had felt such an aura before from a strong person of the Golden Elixir realm . But how could it appear in Mo Wen? This was what he could not quite figure out . After all, Mo Wen's strength could not be at the level of the Golden Elixir realm . That was impossible .
Mo Qingtian glanced at Mo Wen carefully . His facial expression was calm, impervious to passions and desires, seemingly showing no emotions at all . He couldn't tell anything about him by looking at him .
The two of them exited the Savages List Palace Hall, then toured the Mission Palace Hall .

Suddenly, Mo Wen stopped in front of a mission notice . A light flashed in his eyes as he was seemingly deep in thought .
"Why? Are you interested in this mission?" Mo Qingtian raised his eyebrows, taking a glance at the mission .
The mission was simple . Recently, there seemed to be an organization akin to heretic forces appearing in the area around the Capital . The organization was entrenched in that area, secretly conducting some underground activities that no one seemed to know about .
This mission hoped to have some Executors infiltrate the organization and investigate its aim .
The activities of heretic forces were always happening all over the world . The Huatian Palace had to constantly monitor their movements to prevent situations that they could not control from happening . Consequently, missions like this were extremely common .
"Heretic forces?"
Mo Wen looked incredulously at Mo Qingtian . What did he mean by "heretic forces?"
"Regarding the heretic forces, I also do not know much about them . But in the world, if there is a positive, then there is a negative . If there is light, then there is darkness . If we say that our Huatian Palace is on the side of light, then the heretic forces are on the side of darkness . "
Mo Qingtian moaned deeply as he said this . In reality, he only knew about half of the things there were to know about the heretic forces . The heretic forces were not only mysterious, but they were also deep in hiding .
He only knew that among the factions that could threaten Huatian Palace, aside from the mysterious factions overseas, the heretic forces were one of them .
In other words, it was the heretic forces that were currently Huatian Palace's greatest adversary . This was because the heretics were different from the overseas factions, as they were entrenched in Hua Xia Country . Their roots were set deep, and they were considered one of Hua Xia Country's factions .
As was often said, before one resists foreign aggression, one had to first settle internal security . The attention the Huatian Palace paid to the heretic forces was far greater than what they paid to the overseas factions .
However, his understanding of their heresy was not deep . Only the higher ups could know about such things .
Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders, and his mouth curled into a plain smile . "Light and darkness? Nice analogy . " He actually did not think so in his heart . The so-called light and darkness were not absolute qualities . Whether a human was good or bad could not be defined by such an affiliation system .
The human heart was the true standard to measure light and darkness .

However, once Mo Qingtian had said so, Mo Wen recalled something . Back in the Immortal Cultivation world, there were the so-called right path and heretic path . The two systems were vastly different due to their Cultivation philosophy and their modus operandi .
Many times, the right path and evil would be at odds with each other, being mutually exclusive .
In reality, ultimately the conflict between the two systems was not because of the differences in their Cultivation philosophy and their modus operandi .
It was because of their interests . The contest was over interests!
Mo Wen did not know whether Earth had the so-called evil ways factions . However, since the Huatian Palace had immortal cultivators, the chances of evil ways factions existing were high .
However, it obviously seemed that Huatian Palace had the advantage . The heretic forces could only hide in the shadows, constantly scheming on how to turn the tables .
Mo Wen did not care about their so-called good or evil . He had never considered himself as belonging to either side . The only thing that caught his interest was the mission itself .
Within the mission's detailed information, there was a passage describing the heretic forces . There was a line that said they were skilled at agglomerating spirits and using spirits to harm ordinary people . Some more capable users could even use the spirits to control the actions of ordinary people, turning them into their puppets .
Not long ago, when Mo Wen was at Xu Qianqian's house, her father had the Ghost Phagosome Technique illness . Inside his body was an evil spirit that was consuming his qi and blood .
Could it be that the heretic forces had some connection with the Xu clan?
Under normal circumstances, a situation like that could not possibly have occurred . There was surely someone working in the dark . Also the methods they used were truly sinister .
"This mission is a Four stars mission . You can't accept it even if you are interested . "
Mo Qingtian shrugged his shoulders, dousing Mo Wen's hopes with cold water . He was just a Two stars Executor . Naturally, he could not accept a Four stars mission .
Also, for the mission level to be Four stars, it meant that the difficulty would be Four stars . There could even be an expert in hiding . If Mo Wen's abilities weren't enough, rushing in would result in his being consumed until there was nothing left .
"How can I become a Four stars Executor?" Mo Wen raised his eyebrows .
Zhu Feng from the Azure Dragon Palace Hall was also a Four stars Executor . Mo Wen's current ability had far exceeded that of Zhu Feng .
"You need to pass the Four stars Executor's assessment . "
Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen from top to bottom . He said plainly, "First, you need to have the ability equivalent to a later stage or even pinnacle of Qi Nucleation realm in order to just possibly pass the Four stars Executor's assessment . Next, you need to pay up an objective sum of Contribution Credits as an assessment fee . "
Mo Qingtian grinned playfully and said, "But, you don't seem to fulfill either condition . "
Although Mo Wen had killed a Dafang Sect Qi Nucleation realm ancient martial arts practitioner, he was not yet of the Qi Nucleation realm . In terms of ability, he was approximately equivalent to the beginning stage Qi Nucleation realm . Compared to Zhu Feng, he was much weaker .
For Zhu Feng to become a Four stars Executor, it had really been based on luck . If it were Mo Wen instead, it would be practically impossible .
As for Contribution Credits, Mo Wen had not even completed a mission, so naturally he did not have Contribution Credits .
Mo Wen frowned . In terms of ability, he had confidence . However, as for the Contribution Credits, he didn't have any yet… Such a headache . Why was it always about money for the Huatian Palace? So inhumane .
Mo Qingtian sighed deeply as he said, "Based on your current ability, you could probably pass the Three stars Executor assessment . If you have the intention to advance, I can lend you some Contribution Credits . "
With Mo Wen's current ability, passing the Three stars Executor assessment was highly possible .
Within the Huatian Palace, levels were very important . Not only were they used for accepting missions, but they were a symbol of status and authority .
The higher the Executor's level, the greater the authority they possessed . This authority was not just limited within the Huatian Palace, but carried throughout the entire Hua Xia Country .
Within the nation's military and government, various ancient martial arts sects, and even overseas, the identity of the Huatian Palace itself was a symbol of status . The higher the level, the more respected and valued one would be .
Also, the Huatian Palace Executors were active around the world all year long, especially within the country . There were many situations where, in order to deal with them more conveniently and maintain order in various places, they would depend on the help of the nation's government .
