Qin Chen was still wearing ordinary clothes, and he quickly descended, heading straight into the main hall to report.
"Hey, who is this person? I don't think I've seen him before. Could he be a new recruit from Tian Gong?"
"If he’s a newcomer, he should be undergoing training, right? Looking at his attire, he doesn’t seem like a Refiner. Could he be from the Martial Department? But the Martial Department members are all in the forbidden area for training and shouldn’t be out here."
"Then he must be a newcomer from the Refiner Department. However, newcomers from the Refiner Department just finished their training, and now they're ready to accept missions? That’s a bit too arrogant, isn’t it? Hmph, wanting to earn contribution points in Tian Gong is not that easy. The best method is actually to refine Saint Weapons and sell them to Tian Gong in exchange for contribution points. Other tasks come with risks."
"I’ve heard that among this batch of newcomers, there are some impressive figures, such as Nan Tianyi from the Nan Family, Feng Liu Yun from Fengyun Pavilion, and Bai Yu Tang from the Treasure Hall. They have all broken through to the Heavenly Saint realm. Such individuals might be qualified to accept missions. Is this fellow one of those three?"
"Huh? I can't see through this kid's cultivation, which is quite interesting. Could he really be one of those three geniuses?"
Many Tian Gong personnel cast their gazes toward Qin Chen, murmuring among themselves, but everyone was busy, merely speculating while tending to their own affairs.
Inside the main hall, there were counters, each staffed with busy individuals.
Tian Gong was a massive organization, comprising the Martial Department, Refiner Department, Alchemy Department, Material Department, and various other departments. However, except for the Refiner Department, which was the most important, the others were subsidiary forces, yet all were incredibly busy.
It resembled a gigantic machine in operation.
Qin Chen did not look around too much and walked straight to a counter, preparing to take out his token to report.
"Hey, kid, move aside, let this old man report his mission first."
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. An elder with red eyebrows, who had been behind Qin Chen, swiftly appeared in front of him, holding a bag. With a loud slap, he threw it onto the counter. A round, rolling head tumbled out of the bag, messy hair, wide-open eyes, a distorted face exuding the aura of a Heavenly Saint, and it was indeed the head of a Heavenly Saint expert, with a yin-yang flame in the center of the forehead, chopped off and thrown onto the counter.
"This is... the rumored demon lord from the Yin-Yang Sea near Guanghan Mansion, the Yin-Yang Lord!"
"The Yin-Yang Sea is a strange place where the yin and yang are reversed, and during the reversal of the sun and moon, energy is transformed with unpredictable power. It is vast and boundless, filled with many robbers and demons. The Yin-Yang Lord is a famous demon lord in the Yin-Yang Sea, dominating a region and endangering the surrounding states. Now, he has actually been decapitated!"
"That’s Senior Chi Mei! Senior Chi Mei joined the Martial Department of Tian Gong five thousand years ago and is now at the peak of the mid-Heavenly Saint realm. It is said that Senior Chi Mei has cultivated the Fierce Fire Mystic Eye, able to break through the yin-yang aura. No wonder he could slay the Yin-Yang Lord and bring back his head."
"Impressive! Many robbers and demons in the Yin-Yang Sea form alliances, and when one is killed, the others seek revenge. That's why few people are willing to go to the Yin-Yang Sea for missions. Our Tian Gong once had disciples from the Martial Department enter the Yin-Yang Sea on a mission, but they ended up being killed by the Yin-Yang Lord. If I remember correctly, the mission to slay the Yin-Yang Lord has been pending for over a thousand years, right? This mission is worth thirty thousand contribution points and could be exchanged for a good Heavenly-grade Saint Weapon."
