Chapter 260: Chapter 118: Sixth Grade Tributor Mu Er, Raking in Cash Nonstop

More work, more gain.

Li Yuan said, "Then I’ll trouble Mr. Yan to introduce me. I’ll be a Wild Honored Guest."

Yan Mu agreed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don’t you become a Tributor of our Divine Wood Hall? I’ll vouch for you... By the way, how is your combat ability, brother-in-law?"

Li Yuan glanced at the "615-645" of his nephew, then looked at his own "1140-1890," and said, "I should be able to beat you."

Yan Mu was taken aback, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and said with a frown, "Let’s see."

Li Yuan said, "No need to compare, you slightly excel."

Seeing his demeanor, Yan Mu knew he must have had fortuitous encounters and opportunities, and his strength was certainly extraordinary. Plus, after spending around half a year in Shanbao County last year, he knew some of this brother-in-law’s stories.

But Li Yuan thought for a while, then asked, "If I become a Tributor of your Divine Wood Hall, do I have to appear often?"

Yan Mu shook his head and said, "A Wild Honored Guest is paid by three families, primarily for the matter in Beijiang Prefecture, so it’s naturally necessary to show up more often, but the risks are also high. Being a Tributor of my Divine Wood Hall is solely funded by us... The appearances are fewer, but it’s safer."

Li Yuan glanced at the "15 Copper Tokens" in the Equipment Bar, and the blood that seemed to have the same effect as Elder Zhu’s "Protective Shadow Blood," and said, "I’ll stick to being a Wild Honored Guest."

...

The next day.

With Yan Mu’s endorsement and a slight display of his power, Li Yuan easily gained the identity of a Wild Honored Guest and arrived at their temporary residence — a small pavilion in the mountains.

This "small pavilion in the mountains" was a series of pavilions built on Fangcun Mountain in East Spring County, spaced far apart, originally for the surrounding gentry’s mountain trips and play. Now, it’s been requisitioned for the Honored Guests to reside.

Because of the presence of skeletal remains, the Martial Artist didn’t dare to stay too close to each other, so these widely spaced houses were ideal.

At the same time, Li Yuan also met another Wild Honored Guest.

This was someone living next door to him, also wearing a conical hat and wrapped tightly in a cloak.

When this Wild Honored Guest saw him, he squeezed out a hoarse voice, "Chang Tianli."

Li Yuan glanced at the "500-520" above the other’s head, hesitated for a moment, feeling more confident, then responded in a similarly hoarse voice, "Mu Er."

The two exchanged a glance, then quickly separated, each returning to their own room.

A short while later, some Seventh Grades came to pay their respects to him. Li Yuan did not entertain them much, and after being turned away a few times, those Seventh Grades stopped visiting.

At dusk, a fast horse sped towards the foot of Fangcun Mountain.

The climbing disciple hurriedly ran up the mountain to bring news of his first mission to Li Yuan.

In four places on the westernmost streets of East Spring County, people have started going mad, and someone needs to check it out. Yuan Zongzi of the Holy Fire Palace and Yan Mu of the Divine Wood Hall have already gone to one place, while the remaining two require Li Yuan and Zhou Qing to go.

For each place, aside from the Sixth Grade Honored Guest, two Seventh Grades, as well as several subordinate gang members, will accompany them.

Li Yuan casually chose "Yu Chang Workshop," and set off with over a hundred gang members.

Yu Chang Workshop, though called a workshop, is essentially a larger Little Ink Workshop.

It’s just that there are more people, and the living space is more cramped.

Da-da-da...

The sound of horse hooves rang loudly.

Departing from East Spring County.

However, before the horses reached Yu Chang Workshop, two Color-changing Sparrows had already arrived, hiding their forms and watching the scenes below in silence.

The Color-changing Demon Sparrow was much better than the ordinary White Sparrow, making it difficult for anyone to notice their eavesdropping and spying.

Most of the scenes in the workshop were ordinary, except for a few families who were crying.

Li Yuan continued gazing while riding his horse.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the dark alley.

"The things sold on Ghost Street are well-disguised."

"Yes... Such disguise, no one can see through. But the attack capability is lacking...

That copper hairpin, though powerful, has too stringent activation conditions, requiring a target’s hair, which is too difficult.

Our Ghost Street’s items are better. Once the door is closed, as long as the environment is enclosed, the curse can be activated."

"I’ll replace the doorknob in advance. This time it’s a four-cent doorknob bought from that ghost shop... Once triggered, it’s enough to kill an ordinary Sixth Grade.

Once the Sixth Grade is dead, the other Seventh Grade Martial Artists are no threat.

The Fifth Grade’s subordinates are useless as well, no threat."

"Can that National Preceptor really help us suppress the curse, so we don’t need to always hide in Ghost Street?"

"It should be possible, as some skeletal remains have succeeded."

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

"I did.

Everyone knows that courtesan from Jade Capital City’s Snow Moon Building, who was cursed and certain to die if she dared leave Ghost Street.

But I saw her walk out alive and well with my own eyes.

The National Preceptor has wonderful methods; this guiding Dharma Gate to Ghost Street is practically Divine Techniques."

The two spoke, completely unaware of the Color-changing Sparrow above them.

Meanwhile, another Color-changing Sparrow spread its wings and flew elsewhere, searching.

The fragmented clues, images, and sounds quickly pieced together a truth.

In the distance, Li Yuan, riding a horse, rubbed his forehead speechlessly.

"I never thought my first mission would be rushing into a trap."

"The mad people here aren’t related to the previous Spring Breeze Square, but rather, they’ve been poisoned."

"The goal is to lure the Sixth Grade Honored Guests and then kill them."

"The method is to have the Guests enter a house, then shut the door."

"Then... everyone inside will face a terrifying attack."

Li Yuan had already seen through their ambush before he even reached Yu Chang Workshop.

A stick of incense later, over a hundred fast horses halted in the village workshop.
