Chapter 587: Frenemy?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing this, Wang Mang was taken aback and shocked.

It seemed that there was danger lurking in this mountain range, and various different forces and experts. Furthermore, first-rate forces in this mountain range had three Tier 5 experts!

Realizing this, he began thinking about the mission. Joining a force was straightforward enough, as he was very close to the peak of Tier 4, but the rewards for the first mission option were lacking, so he tossed that option out immediately.

The second mission option was not difficult either. Therefore, the only question would be the feasibility of the third mission option.

On paper, it seemed like a gargantuan task to establish a first-rate force. After all, he was not even a Tier 5 expert himself. Could he do it?

He could use the summoning card to summon a Tier 5 expert, but that left two more spots for Tier 5 experts…

In the end, Wang Mang stopped daydreaming. There was no way he would be able to find another two Tier 5 experts and convince them to join him. Thus, he took a deep breath and said, “System, I choose Mission 2!”

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option. Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward.]

After heaving a sigh of relief, he hoped that he could find a force that was relatively close to the Sacred Emperor Academy. In that way, he would be able to monitor his stall. Despite their earlier agreement, there was no way he was going to trust those two after what had happened.

“Oh well, let’s take a look at what forces are in the mountain range…”

After muttering to himself, Wang Mang flew into the depths of the Million Mountain Range without looking back.

More than an hour later, he was flying above an inconspicuous forest, feeling rather frightened. As he traveled along, he could sense the presence of many Tier 5 experts!

What Wang Mang did not know was that the Million Mountain Range was extremely vast, and that it took up a large portion of the Sage Emperor Continent.

At this moment, chaotic aura fluctuations in the distance suddenly attracted Wang Mang’s attention.

He could sense that there were experts gathering in front of him, so flew in that direction.

After another ten minutes of travel, Wang Mang saw a vast ancient city in the forest ahead, and he spotted many experts coming and going from the city’s entrance. That being said, he did not spot any Tier 5 experts, though there were a number of Immortal Prime realm experts.

Above the city entrance, there was a huge plaque…

Qingmu City!

At this moment, Wang Mang also arrived at the entrance of Qingmu City. Surprisingly, people were entering and leaving at will, and there did not seem to be any guards at the entrance.

Thus, he walked in, and was surprised to come across a familiar figure…

At the same time, this middle-aged man also looked at Wang Mang.

Eh?

It was the middle-aged boss of the medicinal pill stall from the rear entrance of the Sacred Emperor Academy!

It was no wonder he felt that this fellow was so familiar. That being said, he quickly recalled that they were enemies. After all, Wang Mang had forced this fellow to shut down his stall!

At the same time, Gongyang recognized Wang Mang as well, and his eyes widened in astonishment. How had this fellow grown so much stronger so fast?

He had taken some time to recognize Wang Mang, as Wang Mang had only been an early-stage Immortal King realm expert back then. A jump to the Immortal Prime realm was too unbelievable! How long had it even been?

Thus, it was only after observing Wang Mang for some time that he finally confirmed his suspicions that Wang Mang was the one who had caused him to be hunted down by the law enforcers of Sacred Emperor Academy. He could also tell that Wang Mang was only slightly weaker than he was!

Unbelievable!

Gongyang’s eyes burned with killing intent, but he quickly suppressed it, as he was not sure if he could kill Wang Mang alone. If he wanted to take revenge, he had to make proper preparations to strike a decisive blow on this fellow.

Of course, Wang Mang had noticed the killing intent that flashed across the other party’s eyes. He merely sneered, but just as he was about to walk over and provoke Gongyang, the system’s voice rang out.
