Chapter 19 Moonlight

Chapter 19 Moonlight
Under the mask was a middle-aged woman with slightly wrinkled skin.

"Tell me, who sent you to seize the Moon Orb from the Toad King?"

Chen Qingquan had never expected that he would accept the mission to snatch the Moon Orb from the Moon-gazing Toad King.

The biggest obstacle was not the harsh environment and the surrounding soul beasts, but the two powerful men in front of him who came out of nowhere.

Chen Qingquan looked at the nine soul rings flashing on the second elder's body and had no intention of resisting at all.

"Your Majesty, this is the bounty issued by Madam Xue Yao of the Tiandou Empire. As long as you bring back the Moon Orb of the Toad King, you will receive a bounty of 120,000 gold soul coins."

"Oh, one hundred and twenty thousand gold soul coins, she is really willing to spend it."

The Great Elder was very unhappy. One hundred and twenty thousand was not a small number, and someone would definitely take the risk. This would definitely be a threat to the Moon-gazing Toad Clan.

"Besides you, is there anyone else who has accepted this mission?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know either, but this mission was issued by our organization. If I accept it, no one else will take it."

"What is the name of your organization?"

"The Blood Knife Pavilion is in Tiandou City."

Chen Qingquan confessed everything honestly; she wanted to live.

Chen Qingquan took a quick glance at the two elders. Although he didn't know their origins, he knew they were definitely closely related to Wangyuechan.

It seems like I've really hit a wall this time, damn Xue Yao.

"Okay, I can let you go, but you have to tell your leader that if you dare to accept Wangyuechan's mission again, you will be my enemy."

"Of course, Your Majesty, it is natural."

Chen Qingquan was overjoyed to hear that he could survive. As for the request of His Majesty, it was a piece of cake.

Although their Blood Blade is the largest mercenary organization in Tiandou City, their leader is just a Soul Douluo, so how could they dare to provoke a Titled Douluo?

However, this bounty is not known to everyone in Tiandou City, but at least those above Soul King level should have heard of it.

His Majesty actually doesn't know that if I take this opportunity to get in touch with His Majesty, the leader will probably reward me greatly.

"Your Majesty, our organization is quite capable in gathering intelligence. I wonder if you need any intelligence about Tiandou City."

"Oh~."

The continent is in the midst of a turbulent time, and the Xingguan Sect does need more sources of intelligence.

Especially in the Tiandou Empire, the information about the Xingguan Sect here is almost zero.

The two elders discussed it and the second elder came forward and gave Chen Qingquan a token.

"Collect the information and send it to Yuelai Inn in Canghui City."

This inn was originally established by Xingguan Sect to look after Xu Mingxi.

Chen Qingquan took the token respectfully. She knew that she had made a great contribution this time.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The message will be delivered."

"You go."

"Yes."

Chen Qingquan turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the underground. She never wanted to come to this damn place again.

The two elders just stood there to protect Xu Mingxi.

As Xu Mingxi pulled it, the purple soul ring continued to move closer to him, and at that moment the soul ring completely appeared above the star crown.

In an unknown place, a silver-haired goddess let out a light exclamation and cast her gaze.

"Mingxi, how is it?"

Seeing Xu Mingxi absorb the soul ring, the two elders came over.

Although other tribesmen absorbed the spirit ring of the Moon-gazing Toad with the spirit skill of Star Guardian, Xu Mingxi was special. He was different from others since his first spirit skill. The two elders also expected him to create another miracle.

Xu Mingxi shook his head. He could feel this soul skill without releasing it. It should be the Guardian of the Stars.

However, he still summoned the Star Crown Martial Soul, and the fourth soul ring lit up. Bright starlight shone, and a large amount of starlight gathered to form a semicircular shield that enveloped the three of them.

Xu Mingxi and the other two seemed to see countless starlights flowing and interweaving on the shield.

"Grandpa, Second Elder, my fourth soul skill is still Star Guardian."

To Xu Mingxi's surprise, the two elders shook their heads at the same time.

As elders of the Star Crown Sect, Xu Mingxi didn't know. Didn't they know the true appearance of the Star Guardian, a soul skill that has been passed down for thousands of years?

There was shock in the Second Elder's eyes. She had never seen the Star Guardian like this before.

“No, Mingxi, this is both Star Guardian and not Star Guardian.

Mingxi, look, your shield is not just filled with golden starlight, but also with a hint of silver light."

Xu Mingxi turned his head and looked at the shield, observing it carefully.

Only then did I realize that among the bright starlight, there was indeed a subtle but not negligible silver light.

"Elder, could this be, moonlight?"

"I think so. The spirit ring produced by the Moon-gazing Toad, plus this color, there should be no other possibility."

The second elder wasn't quite sure either, but he really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"Mingxi, let's go back to the sect first. Maybe the sect master is knowledgeable and he knows about this situation."

"it is good."

Xu Mingxi looked up in the direction of the full moon, then followed the two elders on the return journey.

It took the three of them four days to get from Zhenbei Pass to Binghen Valley, so it was naturally not easy to get out this time.

However, the further they walked, the higher the temperature became. Xu Mingxi's soul power covered the soles of his feet, and he stepped on the snow and ran quickly.

“Roar~.”

Suddenly, a violent roar came from a distance, attracting Xu Mingxi's attention.

"Mingxi, it seems that the little girl from the Ling family is being chased by a 20,000-year-old Icethorn Wolf King. Should we go and rescue them?"

Xu Mingxi ran in the direction of the roar for a while before he saw Ling Yilan.

The old woman next to her had her arm broken, apparently in an attempt to protect her.

Her left hand dropped and blood kept flowing. Even though she was injured, she still had to protect Ling Yilan and was almost bitten by the Icethorn Wolf King several times.

"Grandpa, please help and save them."

The Great Elder lit up his martial spirit from afar, and Ling Yilan only saw a streak of starlight passing by before the Icethorn Wolf King fell to the ground.

The two people from the Ling family then saw the arrival of Xu Mingxi and the other two. Ling Yilan took out healing medicine from the storage soul guide and gave it to Shuang Lan to take, then walked towards the three people.

She looked at Xu Mingxi with a complicated look in her eyes. This incident was indeed somewhat related to Xu Mingxi.

She and Grandma Shuanglan followed Xu Mingxi into the Far North and accidentally went too deep. On the way back, they saw an ice thorn wolf about four thousand years old. They wanted to hunt it down as their fourth soul ring.

However, she didn't expect to provoke a 20,000-year-old Icethorn Wolf King. Grandma Shuanglan led her to fight and retreat, and only then did they hold on until now.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he was rescued by Xu Mingxi and the other two.

Moreover, that ray of starlight was at least emitted by Contra.

As the daughter of the Ling family's Soul Douluo patriarch, Ling Yilan knew very well that it was definitely not something a Soul Sage could do to defeat a 20,000-year-old Icethorn Wolf King with just one move.
