Chapter 49

The monsters he had encountered before, even Lord-level ones, didn’t have a real signature afterward.

Such specificity made Li Yao have to treat it with caution.

Even in the mission introduction, there was no explicit requirement for Li Yao to kill this unknown creature.

One could imagine how tyrannical the Dark Wing he was about to face would be.

However,

Li Yao wasn’t afraid; the level limit of the Tower of Heaven was level 25.

At this stage, he still had some confidence.

Soon, the plane landed.

As soon as Li Yao walked out of the airport, he saw a familiar face walking toward him.

A light cyan cheongsam paired with flesh-colored stockings, a slender waist; her perfect figure was displayed to the fullest under this outfit.

All the men around were attracted by this figure.

Li Yao was no exception.

With her stunning appearance and powerful aura, it was hard for Li Yao not to notice her.

Among the people Li Yao knew, the only one who could compare in terms of appearance was that woman from the Sakura Kingdom.

“Li Yao, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

The woman walked up with a smile and extended her right hand: “Shang family, Shang Shang Zijin.”

“Something up?”

Li Yao reached out and shook her hand lightly.

It seemed she was one of the professionals preparing to participate in the second batch of clearing outside the Original Instance.

“If there was nothing, would I wait here for you for so long on such a hot day?”

Shang Shang Zijin said with a smile, while opening the door of a luxury car behind her and sitting in the driver’s seat.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the Tower of Heaven.”

“I’ll go myself.”

“Hey, hey!”

Seeing Li Yao turn to leave, Shang Shang Zijin quickly got out of the car and blocked Li Yao’s path.

“A beauty like me came to pick you up, and you’re just going to disregard the sentiment?”

Shang Shang Zijin said helplessly, doubting her charm for the first time.

“I came to find you to give you the things you wanted; you wouldn’t want me to take that stuff out in broad daylight, right?”

“Oh?”

Li Yao raised an eyebrow.

Moving so fast?

Li Yao thought about it and sat in the passenger seat.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the car, he smelled a faint scent of blood.

On the back seat, there was a half-meter-high brown box, and the bloody smell was emanating from inside.

Shang Shang Zijin got in the car and drove toward the Tower of Heaven.

“Where are your things? You brought them with you, right?”

Li Yao nodded: “Of course, but I said before, it needs to last for a period of time; whoever brings more heads, the goods go to them.”

The longer the bounty lasted, the greater the loss for the Yan family.

Hearing this, Shang Shang Zijin rolled her beautiful eyes.

“Rest assured, this is definitely the biggest head you can receive.”

“That old man the other day was called Yan Yan Xinghong; the owner of the head behind is called Yan Yan Xingrong.”

“The two are brothers.”

“Hmm?”

Li Yao paused, not reacting for a moment.

“Yan Yan Xingrong, a Fifth-Turn professional of the Yan family; even for our Shang family, it cost a huge price to behead him in an instance.”

After speaking, Shang Shang Zijin pursed her red lips and looked at Li Yao with interest.

“Fifth-Turn!?”

Li Yao’s reaction satisfied Shang Shang Zijin, and she explained:

“Right, the fourth head of the Yan family, Yan Yan Xingrong.”

A Fifth-Turn professional was already one of the top powerhouses in the Dragon Kingdom.

After experiencing the Third Turn, one could become a guild leader in a city like Jiangzhou, or go to work for the Federation like Zhang Yi, becoming a principal.

A Fourth-Turn professional could become a city lord, and even if they entered a prestigious family like the Yan family, they would definitely be a guest-level existence.

A Fifth-Turn professional was a true powerhouse.

A core member of a top noble family.

The professors of various professions at the Dragon Kingdom’s four major martial arts academies were also at this level.

Further up, there were figures like the National Defense Generals and the heads of the main cities.

As for the Seventh Turn,

Li Yao really didn’t know if there were such figures in the Dragon Kingdom.

And this woman in front of him was saying nonchalantly that the box behind contained the head of a Fifth-Turn powerhouse?

Li Yao asked: “Just for a First Clear treasure chest?”

“Yes, and no. I think it’s more like a ‘pledge of allegiance’.” Shang Shang Zijin held the steering wheel with one hand and lit a lady’s cigarette with her left hand.

“Now we have a common enemy.”

Killing Yan Yan Xingrong was far from simple.

To befriend Li Yao, the Shang family’s original plan was to hunt a talented junior of the Yan family.

While collecting intelligence, they happened to learn that Yan Yan Xingrong was going to lead a team into a Fourth-Turn public instance.

The head of the Shang family was also a ruthless person.

Li Yao’s talent made him make a bold decision.

Anyway, the Yan family was already at odds with the Shang family, so they might as well go all the way.

The head of the Shang family personally led a team to the instance to snipe him.

At the cost of six Fourth-Turn professionals and his own serious injury, they successfully brought back Yan Yan Xingrong’s head.

“So, do you want to cooperate with my Shang family?”

Shang Shang Zijin turned back and looked at Li Yao seriously.

Li Yao was stunned for a moment.

“Why are you looking at me? You’re driving, look ahead!”

“Is this a rejection?”

Shang Shang Zijin looked resentful.

“Tell me, how to cooperate?”

Cooperating with the Shang family was a huge good thing for Li Yao and the Silver Wolf Guild.

As one of the twelve main cities, Qinghai City had countless family forces.

The Shang family was among the top four families.

Mainly engaged in potion forging, their wealth was astronomical.

Even the Jingcheng Yan family wouldn’t dare to underestimate the Shang family.

Among the twelve main cities, except for the Magic Capital and Jingcheng, the gap between other main cities was actually very small.

Being able to become a top noble family in Qinghai, even looking at the entire Dragon Kingdom, not many people dared to say they could suppress the Shang family.

Hearing that Li Yao had an intention to cooperate, Shang Shang Zijin smiled charmingly, and the car speed increased a bit.

“I thought you were really going to reject a pitiful beauty.”

“Specific cooperation matters, my father will personally send a Federation contract to the president of the Silver Wolf Guild.”

“I’ll keep it short.”
