The two of them traveled for another couple of hours, but they weren't making much progress compared to the time they had actually been traveling. From the 700,000 kilometers they had to travel, they had only traveled about 20,000 kilometers of those. Of course, 20,000 kilometers was a huge distance for a normal person, but the Sweeper and Shang traveled at speeds only an Archmage could. "We are about to reach a dividing border between different territories," the Sweeper suddenly transmitted to…-

A person completely hidden behind a black cloak appeared in front of Shang. The Magic Circles on the cloak made it impossible to see any part of the person. Shang wasn't particularly surprised. Sweepers were powerful, and the Natural Selection Company was searching for them like crazy. Every single Sweeper was a big problem to the Natural Selection Company since they could take down extremely important people and deal huge damage to their finances. It was natural that the Sweepers would want to keep…

Shang actually had to wait for a long time. It wasn't that the Sweepers were fully booked but that the reward for the mission hadn't reached adequate levels yet. Every month, the Keeper increased the reward for the mission by ten Grade Six Mana Crystals until one of the Sweepers accepted the mission. By then, Shang had waited nearly one and a half years. "Someone accepted the mission," the Keeper informed Shang. Shang stopped training and stepped out of the room. Spike Ball was sneering at him…

Shang exited Training Room One just a couple of hours after entering and walked over to the Keeper, ignoring Spike Ball's provocations. "The Patriarch of the Urbring Family has acted as expected," the Keeper transmitted to Shang. "Are you still interested in visiting a Beast Lord?" Shang's expression didn't change, but he nodded. "Do you want to see any Beast Lord in particular?" the Keeper asked. "I would prefer a Beast Lord with a Light or Darkness Affinity," Shang answered. "There is one in my…

The Patriarch of the Urbring Family flew through the wilderness and eventually stopped at a seemingly random spot. He furrowed his brows and cast several complex Spells. After a while, he moved further away and cast another Spell. Eventually, the Patriarch saw the ground below him vibrate and shine a slight bit. He had found the spot. WHOOOM! A gigantic fireball appeared near the Patriarch, and he threw it at the ground. BOOOOOOOOM! A gigantic explosion nearly 200 meters wide appeared below him,…

Shang took the Beast Core into his hand and inspected it, ignoring the headless corpse to his right. 'This thing is probably still worth about ten Grade Seven Mana Crystals,' Shang thought. 'That is a hundred times of what I would need to look at a living Beast Lord.' After a couple of seconds, Shang put the Beast Core down and took out a Communication Crystal. "The Treasury Master of the Urbring Family hid the skeleton of a dead Beast Lord and its Beast Core. I killed the Treasury Master. The mission…

Shang continued watching the Treasury Master for several months. It was mundane work, but it paid well. Eventually, over two years passed. And finally, something suspicious happened. The Treasury Master left the Urbring Family every three months to travel to a couple of different gatherer families and exchange some wares. This was the very thing that happened the first time Shang had seen the Treasury Master. Originally, when the Treasury Master left for his regularly scheduled roundtrip, Shang hadn't…

Shang followed the Treasury Master for several minutes. He wasn't worried about meeting an aggressive Ancestral Beast since the Natural Selection Company gave the gatherer families ways to navigate the wilderness. The Treasury Master probably knew exactly where all the more powerful beasts were. Due to the size of Shang's Spirit Sense, he didn't even need to hide from the Treasury Master's Spirit Sense. Shang could simply follow him from 200 kilometers away. After a couple of minutes, Shang noticed…

Shang stopped around 200 kilometers away from the Urbring Family's house. Or, more like, the Urbring Family's city. The Urbring Family was one of the more powerful gatherer families, much more powerful than the two gatherer families Shang had destroyed. Because of that, their "house" was also far bigger. Several-kilometer-tall walls surrounded a large area that was nearly 30 kilometers wide, but there was actually no roof above these walls. Several powerful barriers and Magic Circles strengthened the…

Shang returned to training while waiting for missions. A couple of days later, Shang got a mission, but it was just a small one with nearly no reward. Over the next couple of months, Shang only got smaller missions from time to time, but that wasn't too surprising. These hugely lucrative missions to kill an entire gatherer family were rare. After all, there were not that many gatherer families in the territory. Sadly, there wasn't much he could do. He just continued doing these small missions while…
