A chessboard world, a thousand meters above the ground.
The clouds were like a sea, with undulating waves stretching endlessly.
A massive, blood-red rock supports a small city, suspended above a sea of clouds, surrounded by thirty-six bloodstones of varying sizes, wandering aimlessly in this tiny world.
This is the floating city, and at this moment, thousands of strange beings are gathered in a circular building within the city.
This place was originally a large auction house, with an open space in the middle and a row of stands around it, similar in layout to a stadium.
It has more than 3,000 seats and can normally accommodate more than 3,000 guests.
At this moment, however, the place was densely packed with strange creatures, far exceeding three thousand in number.
The aisles and gaps between seats were filled with people, and even in the open-air area, there were rows of hungry wolves standing one after another.
The only open space is a platform in the center of the site, about three or four meters high.
This used to be where the host displayed the auction items; now two figures stand there.
Xia Tianqiong stood at the front, surveying the entire venue, his heart pounding with excitement.
Since his rebirth, starting with a contract with a wild monster, he has amassed thousands of contracted monsters under his command in just a few years.
The strongest among them reached the peak of the Ghost General realm, and could even hold a place in the Ghost Realm.
Such an achievement was something I never dared to dream of before.
"Foreigner, how many family members do you have now?"
He himself didn't even know how many strange things he had contracted with.
After making many bizarre contracts, they were simply left aside and ignored.
The delivery guy, who had been standing respectfully behind him, quickly stepped forward, his face beaming with pride. "Reporting to Master, there are a total of 7,632 family members."
"More than seven thousand?"
Xia Tianqiong was secretly shocked; there were so many!
The scene was somewhat noisy, with the ghosts whispering among themselves.
This was the first time they had gathered together, and they were both shocked by how strange their boss was and curious about what big thing was going to happen next.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Summer's booming voice suddenly resounded in every corner of the venue.
Whether they were cunning generals or wild monsters, they all shut up and looked at that figure.
"I have gathered you all here today to announce two tasks that require everyone's concerted efforts to accomplish."
After he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became lively.
The contracted ghosts were all beaming with joy, and some of the smaller ghosts even clapped and cheered excitedly.
"Finally, another mission! I've been waiting for this for so long!"
"Such a grand operation must be an extraordinary mission. We should be able to get a reward of Netherworld Gold this time, right?"
"Given the boss's generosity, he will surely give us a generous bonus."
"Sigh! The competition is getting fiercer and fiercer. I must do my best this time and try to become a squad leader."
The whispers mingled together, creating a noisy cacophony.
The newly joined Netherworld Wolves and Tree Demons were completely bewildered, looking around in confusion, not understanding what had gotten into these guys.
Isn't going on a mission just about being someone's henchman? Why are you so happy?
After listening for a while, they gradually understood.
It turns out that as long as you go on missions and perform well, you will receive extra rewards, and you may even get a promotion or receive ghost money.
This is great news!
So the Netherworld Hungry Wolf and the Tree Demon, who had just formed a contract, also became excited.
Xia Tianqiong didn't rush to continue. She waited for three or four minutes until the atmosphere calmed down a bit before continuing.
“Starting today, I want all of you to go and capture the supernatural beings. Sweep through city after city, whether they are low-level wild monsters or high-level monster generals, don’t let any of them go.”
This is the first mission, with a three-month timeframe. You will be divided into multiple teams, each led by at least one Ghost General.
If you encounter a powerful but unbeatable monster or a large-scale group of strange creatures, you can unite multiple teams to encircle and annihilate them.
The second task, after clearing out the strange entities, is for you to also take down an organization called Xinglian and incorporate various factions and gangs from different regions. This task is a bit more troublesome.
At this point, Xia Tianqiong paused for a moment, then shouted out the names of three people.
"Jiang Yu, Chu Xu, Qiu Ziren, where are you three? Stand up."
The scene was quiet, and all eyes were searching everywhere.
Some of the old ghosts knew these three people, but most did not, or had never even heard of them.
The group of ghosts were all very curious. Why were these three people called out separately on such an important occasion? Could it be that they had an important mission to be assigned to them?
In an instant, many envious eyes darted around.
Jiang Yu, Chu Xu, and Qiu Ziren were sitting in different spots in the stands. When their names were called, they were all so excited that their hearts raced and they looked nervous.
Xia Tianqiong looked at the only three human subordinates in the group and smiled gently.
"As fellow human beings, I have an important task for the three of you. Destroying the Xinglian is just a side matter; the main task is to incorporate the various ghost hunter forces, but I don't want to kill too many people."
I need the three of you to make contact with forces in various regions, whether through military intimidation or the lure of benefits, as long as you can incorporate them.
This task is rather troublesome, requiring some patience and skill, which is why I've chosen you, fellow human beings. If you encounter any resolute resistance, then eliminate them.
You don't need to do this yourself; leave the physical work to the Ghost General's team. Once the Ghost General makes a move, it will be a fight to the death, wiping them out completely.
If you encounter members of an ancient family, do not hesitate to kill them; they have no innocent victims.
As Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by indifference and seriousness.
When Wei Tingchuan mentioned Xinglian to him before, he had this idea in mind, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.
