Besides, if this guy happens to have the same personality as that old man, just looking at him will annoy me.
Just then, a swordsman walked in and said, "Master, the Protector of the Nation has sent someone again to urge us to send someone to deal with the Corpse-Raising Ground in the west and obtain the Corpse King's inner core."
But the people working there all know what kind of place that is. We've had the bounty posted for ten days, and nobody dares to take it.
Wu Tianqing's expression immediately changed, and he coldly snorted, "What does Master Jin Ding take my Demon Extermination Alliance for? Subordinates? This is simply outrageous!"
Despite saying that, Wu Tianqing frowned deeply, feeling that the situation was quite troublesome.
While living in Liang Kingdom, it was impossible not to have dealings with the Golden Cauldron Immortal.
Wu Tianqing is tactful and two-faced, so he would never clash with Jin Ding Zhenren. On the contrary, he would cooperate with him in various matters, which is why he was able to be such a comfortable leader.
However, despite his repeated concessions, Jin Ding Zhenren didn't seem to take him seriously, treating him more like a subordinate and often throwing him all sorts of random tasks, which Wu Tianqing dared not refuse.
Left with no other choice, Wu Tianqing had to pass on Jin Ding Zhenren's instructions as a task from the Demon Extermination Alliance, so that the other "sword-wielders" could handle it.
In this way, he could at least give Jin Ding Zhenren an explanation, and he wouldn't lose too much face.
On the Demon Extermination Alliance's side, he didn't exactly appear to be Jin Ding Zhenren's lackey, although those who knew the truth understood that Wu Tianqing was no different from Jin Ding Zhenren's lackey.
If it weren't for Master Jin Ding's view that he was somewhat sensible, he would have lost his position as leader long ago.
But this mission is somewhat unusual. There is a large area of corpse-raising grounds to the west of Anqing Prefecture. It is an ancient battlefield, filled with yin energy, and countless zombies are buried there.
Therefore, as early as after the founding of the Liang Kingdom, Emperor Taizu of Liang invited several immortal cultivation sects to join forces to seal it off.
Now, many years have passed, and the ban has become more relaxed. Occasionally, some small zombies escape, but it doesn't cause any major harm.
However, if one were to enter to kill the Corpse King and obtain its inner core, it would be tantamount to courting death.
The people in the Demon Extermination Alliance weren't idiots, so no one took on the task, no matter how much reward Wu Tianqing offered.
Wu Tianqing's confidant cautiously said, "Master, why don't you handle this mission yourself?"
"Nonsense! If I went, wouldn't I truly become Jin Ding Zhenren's lackey?"
Wu Tianqing cursed angrily, but his confidant thought to himself, "You still think you're not?"
As the leader of the Liang Kingdom branch, it was already quite conceited and shameful of him to secretly use his power to help Jin Ding Zhenren.
If I were to go there in person, I would lose all face.
If this gets back to the Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters, it will affect his reputation, and they will definitely replace him with a new leader.
The Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters would not tolerate its leader becoming a pawn or lackey of other forces.
At this moment, Wu Tianqing suddenly noticed the letter beside him. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How strong is Yang Sheng?"
His subordinate was taken aback and replied, "His specific strength is unknown for the time being. After becoming a swordsman, he only has two achievements: one is eliminating the Ghost Spirit Mushroom, and the other is killing the Jade Yang True Man of the Jade Yang Palace in Qingyuan Prefecture. It was later proven that the Jade Yang True Man was a demonic four-eyed white ape in disguise. With only two achievements, he has already reached the Silver Swordsman level. His strength should not be weak. He is probably close to the Dao Realm of a martial artist or the Divine Treasure Realm of a cultivator."
Because there are so many cultivation systems in the Nine Provinces world, the realms are also quite vague.
Martial artists, cultivators, some alien races that gain power through bloodline supernatural abilities, and various demon races, etc.
So, broadly speaking, the Nine Provinces world is simply an organization of the realms of martial artists and cultivators.
In the early stages, a martial artist's strength is vague and is judged primarily by their battle record. It becomes clearer in the later stages, and is divided into three major realms: Xuanmen, Rudao, and Tianren.
Cultivators have more realms, but due to the different cultivation techniques, the initial realms of cultivators also vary.
For example, the first stage of cultivating Qigong is the Qi Refining Realm, but some cultivation methods require first refining the body with profound techniques, so the first stage is the Body Forging Realm.
In the later stages, cultivators' realms can be unified, divided into three major realms: Nascent Soul, Divine Treasury, and Dao Integration.
These three realms are not the pinnacle; there are even stronger realms above them. However, everyone's path is different, so there are no public records of them.
