Manager Wang Chang, who had just taken office, suddenly summoned a group of warriors in the mansion who were capable of performing powerful fighting moves and above to discuss matters.

Li Qinglin and Master Wang Meng teamed up to kill the Taoist boy from the Cangtian Shulu Temple, leaving a deep impression on many people.

Naturally, he also received a summons invitation at this time.

"Discuss? What's the important matter?"

Li Qinglin was maintaining his longbow as he would be serving in the pioneering service tomorrow. Upon hearing the news, he frowned slightly and felt puzzled.

But he thought that since so many warriors were called, it should not be targeting him. After all, if the matter of killing Manager Wang at night was really exposed, someone would have come to invite him for tea long ago, and would not have waited until today.

Thinking of this, Li Qinglin put down the longbow, wrapped it with soft cloth, put it back into the dry wooden cabinet, and went to the discussion place.

After a stick of incense, Li Qinglin walked into a house planted with peach trees.

Then he saw twenty or thirty warriors sitting or standing under the peach blossom forest, talking in low voices, and they looked as confused as Li Qinglin.

Seeing this, Li Qinglin relaxed a little.

"Brother Li, do you know why Steward Wang Chang wants to see us?"

Pang Dazhuang, who had lost one arm, saw Li Qinglin, a half-acquaintance, walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

Li Qinglin and Wang Meng had frequent private interactions, and everyone believed that Li Qinglin had become Wang Meng's trusted private soldier and might be able to learn some inside information.

Li Qinglin shook his head: "I don't know."

Pang Dazhuang nodded and said no more.

Afterwards, several familiar-looking warriors came to ask Li Qinglin for information, but they all left disappointed.

Didn't keep everyone waiting for long.

After a while, Wang Chang appeared and the warriors in the forest stopped talking.

Wang Chang walked quickly to the steps outside the lobby, coughed to clear his throat, and said,

"I won't beat around the bush. I invited you all here today because I want to form a forced marching army. During your service, you will go to Zhuoguang Mountain to eliminate the monsters!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the peach blossom forest suddenly fell into silence, and one could hear a pin drop.

Li Qinglin's heart was shaking, and bad thoughts arose.

None of the warriors responded, but listened to Wang Chang's next words.

“Zhuoguang Mountain is in a dangerous and bad location, with only one desolate road leading to it, but it is rich in resources and has an endless supply of natural treasures. Moreover, the key is that most of the calamity areas bordering it have been recorded and are relatively evenly distributed.

It was fine in the past, but now my Wang family needs to seize a piece of land in Zhuoguang Mountain, so I implore people with lofty ideals to help. "

Upon hearing this, the warriors in the forest looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Of course, you all know that there are evil spirits in Zhuoguang Mountain. There is a white-browed tiger that has become a spirit and can speak human language, calling itself the Mountain King; there is a hundred-year-old silver-striped python that once devoured a martial artist at the Bone-penetrating Realm; there is a skeleton god who was originally an ancient person from the previous dynasty, but his corpse was cultivated successfully and resurrected from the dead; there is also a golden eagle that controls lightning, oh, and recently a Jade Yuanchan appeared..."

Hearing the words "Biyu Yuanchan", Li Qinglin secretly thought that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Wang Chang's voice came.

“This time when we’re exorcising the demon, our priority target is the Jade Yuan Toad. If possible, the Silver-striped Python is also one of our targets.

I have discussed this matter with Master Wang. Those who have made contributions, seriously injured or killed the Jade Yuanchan, or even killed two monsters, will be rewarded according to their merits. Those with medium-level martial arts, shops in the outer city, and land deeds and houses can all be exchanged!"

Intermediate martial arts!

Shops, land deeds! As soon as these words came out, the warriors present immediately became distracted, and many of them showed greed on their faces.

Li Qinglin was even more dumbfounded when he heard this.

I'm awesome!

I'm just a small toad in the wild. What virtue or ability do I have to deserve such a big fuss?

The rewards are so rich that I am quite excited!

The fact that the Jade Yuanchan chose Zhuoguang Mountain as its habitat was also the result of careful consideration.

It even goes against the open land opened up by the royal palace!

You can get money, but you also need to have the life to spend it.

Moreover, many people noticed that the warriors invited here were basically tenants or hired coaches from other courtyards.

None of the core forces and elite confidants of the Wang residence were seen.

After discovering this, the people who were originally eager to try suddenly stopped, and just looked away without responding.

Will they really get their turn if good things happen?

Seeing this, the smile on Wang Chang's face became stiff.

"Manager Wang, I have something important to attend to. Please forgive me. I will leave first."

A martial artist refused bluntly, bowed to Manager Wang, and left.

Wang Chang couldn't hold it in any longer, and was extremely anxious. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a tall young man standing up. His face was still a little childish, but he saw Li Qinglin's face was full of excitement, his eyes were burning, and he clasped his hands together and shouted,

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Manager Wang, we have no choice but to eliminate the demons and benefit the people and ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang's face immediately brightened up. Although the young man in front of him had low cultivation and didn't even seem to be a martial artist, what was needed at the moment was someone to lead the way.

"Okay! Heroes have always emerged from youth. You are Li Qinglin, right? Okay, okay, don't worry, my palace will not treat you unfairly! If you have any other requests, you may as well ask for them, and I will definitely agree to them!"

Li Qinglin was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "In that case, I want the tiger-carrying beheading knife placed on the T-shaped training ground. I hope that Steward Wang will grant me that!"

Wang Chang was stunned, the joy on his face froze, and he was silent for a long time.

Why is this person so familiar with the lion's mouth? I'm just talking! Although this tiger-carrying beheading knife is too heavy, even a strong warrior can hardly wield it, but for warriors at the bone-penetrating level and above, there is a better weapon choice.

But it is a ten-forged weapon after all. If it is sold in the outside world, it can easily be sold for a hundred taels of silver!

But, a horse's bones are worth a fortune.

How could these warriors take the bait without being tempted with huge profits?

and……

Wang Chang looked at Li Qinglin's face with a sad gaze and remembered him.

This person is too close to Master Wang Meng...

Wang Chang did not hesitate too much. He waved his sleeves and said generously, "A precious sword is given to a hero. I will give this sword to you!"

"Thank you, Steward Wang!"

There was a gleam of ecstasy in Li Qinglin's eyes, and the smile on his face was almost blooming.

As Manager Wang expected, with Li Qinglin's example in mind, the remaining martial artists all signed up enthusiastically.

Some of them were even selected and eliminated because the number of people required for the forced march was too small.

Of course, the extra rewards for the warriors who were finally selected were far less valuable than the tiger-carrying beheading sword. They were more than ten taels of silver, elixirs, and palm-sized iron...

In the end, a total of six people were selected, including Li Qinglin.

The leader was a tall woman with a high ponytail tied with a red hairband. She looked heroic and her name was Wen Tiexin.

He is an inner sect disciple of Luoyan Taoist Temple of the Lower Taoist Hall. He has reached the peak of Pendulum-penetrating cultivation and practices the "Formless Wind-Thunder Dian Cang Knife". The other four are: one is called Deng Dong, who has a square appearance, a righteous aura, and a sword on his waist; one is called Jiang Xuecai, who is short in stature, has a pair of rat whiskers, and has shifty eyes.

There is also one named Lan Yu, whose cultivation level is not high, but he is a medical doctor, and the skill he practices is the "Rejuvenation Talisman".

The last one was an archer named Chang Yuren. He carried an iron bow on his back, his hands were covered with calluses, and he looked smart and lively, looking like someone who was not to be trifled with.

When Li Qinglin fell into the group, he was the one with the lowest cultivation level.

After everyone greeted each other briefly and introduced their own cultivation and weapons, the leader Wen Tiexin showed a cold and stern look, with a hint of warning in his eyes, and said to Li Qinglin, "You have the weakest cultivation, so don't cause me trouble. If you become a burden during the march, I will kill you! I heard that you are born with brute force, so you will be the one carrying the accompanying supplies and tools.

Leave at midnight tonight and gather at the back door! Don’t leak any information!”
