Chapter 1209: I’m Going To Surpass The Human Emperor

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hong Yuye left.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

He had guaranteed his way out of here, but he did not know if that would offend Hong Yuye.

In twenty years, if the other party became displeased, he would be in danger.

Powerful people were often unpredictable.

Jiang Hao sighed and decided to explain some things about cultivation to Cheng Chou first.

In addition, Xiao Li’s position as the chief candidate was about to be revoked.

Cheng Chou’s resources were also running out.

What remained depended on his own comprehension and efforts.

In twenty years, he might be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

He needed to be prepared.

“Senior Brother, you’re back?” Cheng Chou was delighted.

“Are there any problems with your cultivation?” Jiang Hao asked.

“A little. Junior Brother Mu and the others seem to have some issues too.” Cheng Chou nodded.

“Call them over together,” Jiang Hao said.

Then, he began to lecture them.

Cheng Chou had a normal cultivation issue, Mu Yin had an issue related to his mental state, and Lin Zhi had issues with a spell.

Jiang Hao did not pay much attention to the others.

In the evening, Jiang Hao got up and left after answering their questions.

He went straight to the Law Enforcement Hall.

He was going to meet the Senior Sister at the Task Hall.

“Junior Brother, are you here to hand in your mission?” asked the Senior Sister immediately asked.

Jiang Hao nodded and paid five thousand spirit stones.

“All in one go this time?” The Senior Sister was a little surprised.

Usually, he paid in two installments.

“I want to accept another mission,” Jiang Hao said softly.

“How long will it take this time?” asked the Senior Sister as she counted the spirit stones.

“Twenty years,” Jiang Hao said.

The Senior Sister was stunned.

She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. “Junior Brother, that’s the way to go! Let others see your daring. Others wouldn’t dare to take on a task like this for twenty years, but you do. Truly, you’re the number one in the sect. We at the Law Enforcement Hall are willing to fully support you. Twenty years is a long time, and the risk is great. But our sect is not an ordinary sect. We need pioneers like you. I’ll go to the Hall Master to get approval. Leave it to me, Junior Brother.”

After saying that, the Senior Sister did not even count the spirit stones and walked ahead.

Jiang Hao was even invited to the side for tea.

For some reason, he felt like he was making a big deal.

The tea was not bad.

Actually, he had thought that the Senior Sister would feel a little reluctant, but he had not expected that she would be this excited.

It seemed like there was no problem at all.

In less than ten minutes, she came out of the inner room.

She gave him the mission. The big shots inside did not even show up.

This surprised Jiang Hao. The Task Hall was really bold.

Was it appropriate for them to assign such a big task to someone like him and let him go?

For the sake of spirit stones, they were willing to do anything.

“Junior Brother, let me tell you the details.” The Senior Sister beamed with joy. “It was not easy for me to get the Hall Master to agree. There are some conditions you should know about.”

Jiang Hao looked down at the unfinished tea and smiled.

“First of all, twenty years is acceptable. Secondly, we want to use your case as an example to show others that people do take such tasks,” said the Senior Sister. “There are benefits for you too. We’ll provide you with fifty thousand spirit stones. If you fail the mission, the compensation you have to pay will be reduced by fifty thousand.”

“How many spirit stones do I have to pay in total if I fail?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Normally, it’s three thousand for three months and two hundred thousand for twenty years. Seeing that it’s not easy for you to pay so much, we can give you a discount of thirty thousand spirit stones. After deducting fifty thousand from that, you’ll have to pay one hundred and twenty thousand spirit thousand in total.”

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

He did not want to attract too much attention.

It was not a good thing for others to know that he had accepted such a big mission.

Fifty thousand spirit stones were not worth it.

Perhaps he could borrow some from the Holy Master.

“What if you say someone took this task, but you don’t mention the name?” asked Jiang Hao. “Will it still be fifty thousand less spirit stones?”

“Sure.” The Senior Sister nodded.

“Alright then.” Jiang Hao agreed.

Firstly, it was to save money. Secondly, they were so sincere that it was not good for him to refuse.

There was no need to offend the Task Hall.

“There’s one more thing. The compensation for failure is one hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones. So, for safety, you’re supposed to pay thirty percent of it right now, which will be… forty thousand spirit stones. You can pay the rest later.”

“Later?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes, if you hand pay now and complete the mission later, we will give you ninety thousand spirit stones. If you fail the mission in twenty years, you can extend your payment for ten more years. Which means, one hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones in ten years. Do you have any other questions, Junior Brother?”

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Then, it was time to choose the task.

One, head to the East and hunt down a traitor.

Two, head overseas and infiltrate the Great Thousand God Sect as a spy.

Third, find three extremely talented disciples and recruit them to the sect.

All three were difficult missions.

In the end, Jiang Hao chose the first one.

The second and third ones were complicated. It was inconvenient.

The traitor might find him first and kill him.

Hope was slim, but he had no intention of completing the mission. He could borrow a hundred twenty thousand spirit stones from the Holy Master.

After that, Jiang Hao left the Task Hall.

The mission would take effect in six months.

It was almost December.

During these six months, he could go out to arrange some things. That was the time given by the Task Hall before the mission commenced.

Jiang Hao did not hesitate and went to find Li Qi.

He had to buy some good tea, otherwise, he would be in danger for the next twenty years.

There were only a few people he could look for when he was in trouble.

At Azure Mountain, Li Qi looked at the person holding the folding fan in front of him and frowned.

“I haven’t seen you for more than two years. How are you, Brother Li?” Jiang Hao opened his fan and asked with a smile.

“I would have been better if you didn’t come to find me,” said Li Qi.

“I’m here to see you, Brother Li. Don’t worry,” Jiang Hao said gently.

“Speak, what do you want this time?”

“Why are you saying that, Brother Li? Do I only come here to ask for things?”

“Well, don’t you?”

“Not this time.”

“I don’t believe you.” Li Qi smiled. However, his smile disappeared very quickly. “I really don’t believe you. What do you want?”

“Brother Li, you really know me.” Jiang Hao nodded with a smile. “I’ve been craving tea lately, especially since September Spring has just come out.”

Li Qi took out twenty packs of September Spring. “That’s all I have. If you want more, just kill me.”

Looking at the twenty packs of September Spring, Jiang Hao felt a little dazed.

It was indeed good to have a brother.

He had only planned to borrow a hundred thousand spirit stones to buy at least five packs of September Spring.

“What else do you want?” Li Qi’s face darkened when he saw that Jiang Hao had not left yet.

“I plan to leave for a while and won’t be back for a long time,” said Jiang Hao. “I came to bid farewell to you, Brother Li.”

Jiang Hao looked at Li Qi and smiled.

“What are you going to do?” Li Qi felt nervous.

“Brother Li, do you still remember what I said back then?” Jiang Hao did not think too much about it.

“What did you say?”

“There might not be a second Human Emperor in the world, but there might be someone who might surpass the Human Emperor.”

“What do you mean?”

“This trip is for me to surpass the Human Emperor.”
