“Let’s go to Li Caizhu’s house.” Huang Mingfeng quickly read the tasks on his Task Panel.
The tasks had been refreshed. His panel showed three tasks: “Clean up the Chen Family Ancestral Hall”, “Li Caizhu’s Last Will”, and “Slay the Demon in the Earth God Temple”.
Huang Mingyu and Huang Mingyu also checked their tasks. They also had the task of “Li Caizhu’s Last Will”.
The two found it strange. Huang Mingyun said, “Big Brother, why are we going there? These are three-star tasks. We can’t complete them.”
“I suspect that the person who hunted down the demons here went to Li Caizhu’s house!”
“Is that even possible?”
“We’ll know it when we go there.”
The three of them headed towards Li Caizhu’s house.
Nobody noticed that after they left, a racooncat jumped down from a distant tree and quickly ran towards the White Water River.
About ten minutes later, the racooncat came to a huge rock by the White Water River. To its surprise, the rock moved and carried it into the river.
Under the White Water River.
Nobody would have imagined that there was a massive underwater palace here.
Interestingly, this palace was built on a large ship that floated quietly underwater.
As soon as the racooncat stepped into the ship, it shouted, “It’s terrible! Little Nine’s family has been wiped out by the Outsider.”
“Little Kitty, what’s all the fuss about?”
A lazy voice sounded out, seemingly imbued with an invisible force that pulled the racooncat into the palace in an instant.
Inside the palace.
A youth was leaning against a throne sculpted from jade, holding the racooncat in his hand.
Undeterred by the youth, the cat demon warned again, “Little Nine’s family was slaughtered by the Outsider. It’s dreadful; their home was even burned down.” “Oh? He dares to kill my people?” Although the youth’s voice was calm, it lacked any anger. It was rather indifferent.
Turn to the palace entrance.
By the entrance stood two burly men covered in scale armor, one on each side.
The youth ordered, “Ah Wu, bring the Outsider who dared to offend us. Remember, I want him alive.”
Upon hearing the command, the left man immediately responded, “Yes, my Lord!”
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Clean up the Chen Family Ancestral Hall”. 5 demon power points have been awarded.]
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Hunt down and kill a mortal-level demon”. 5 demon power points have been awarded.]
[Current available demonic power: 25 points.]
After he killed the first mortal-level demon under Zhang Yang’s identity, he switched his role to Wang Nan. This move allowed him to complete a daily task for each of his roles.
“Too bad. To elevate the Waterjet Fish Bloodline from Great Accomplishment to Great Perfection, I need 26 demon power points. I’m missing just 1 point!”
He glanced at the Personal Information Panel. 16 points of demon power disappeared, boosting the Waterjet Fish Demon Technique from Great Accomplishment to Perfection.
On the Ranking List, Zhang Yang’s ranking did not rise. Only after Su Nan had a look did he realize that, unbeknown to him, Qian Yu’s third Demon Sutra had also reached Perfection.
However, Qian Yu’s third position is only temporary. With another task completed, Su Nan could easily surpass Qian Yu.
“There are only four days left until the end of the Survival Task. The roles of Wang Nan and Zhang Yang should safely remain in the top five. Now, only Lang Thirteen is left.”
Su Nan pondered in his heart.
Although he did not know what extra rewards would come from the Survival Task, he still hoped that all three of his roles would be in the top five with the principle of ‘better to have too much than too little’.
A few minutes later, he arrived at Li Caizhu’s courtyard.
With a flip of his hand, the Beast Bone Dagger was taken out.
Knowing Li Caizhu’s problem, there was no need for him to carry on the act.
He planned to get the first strike even before Li Caizhu could lay a hand on him.
“Once these are used up, I’ll need to replenish my essence and blood. This is the last chance I have with a single drop of essence blood.”
No matter what Li Caizhu’s last wish was, it would undoubtedly be correct to deal with the false Li Caizhu in front of him now.
Knock, knock, knock…
Su Nan knocked the gate. About ten breaths later, the old servant of Li Mansion opened the door again.
“Young Master?” Upon seeing Su Nan again, the old servant was startled, not expecting him to return so soon.
“I remembered that there was a suspicious spot in the room where your master’s concubine disappeared. I want to go back and have another look.” “Please come in, Young Master!” Upon hearing this, the old servant hastily invited Su Nan into the mansion.
A few minutes later, Li Caizhu led Su Nan back to the bridal chamber and excitedly asked, “Young Master, have you really found something?”
Su Nan’s face was impassive, but he sneered inwardly. If he hadn’t noticed the clues from the task name, he would have been tricked by the old man’s acting skills.
Looking at Li Caizhu again, Su Nan wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he could see an impatient look on Li Caizhu’s face, as if he were eyeing a deliciously tempting prey.
So he can’t wait anymore?
Without wasting any words, Su Nan quickly looked at his Task Panel.
[You’re back at Li Caizhu’s house and you know that the Li Caizhu in front of you is not the real one.]
[While Li Caizhu is distracted, you strike with your Power of Divine Soul and thrust the Beast Bone Dagger into his back.]
[Under the influence of the Beast Bone Dagger, Li Caizhu’s body shakes, and his skin splits open from top to bottom. Out comes a smooth-skinned, hairless demon.]
[You finally understand that the Li Caizhu you saw was nothing more than a disguise worn by the demon.]
[The raging demon wants to tear you to pieces. You react swiftly, releasing the power of your four bloodlines and clashing with the demon.]
[This is a Spirit-level monster known as a Barbaric Beast. They excel at hollowing out the flesh of their prey and wearing it to continue luring the same kind of prey..]
