"Ghost!"

Just as Su Mu was looking at his own mourning hall speechlessly, Cong Yuanlong, who was burning paper in front of the mourning hall, suddenly raised his head, saw Su Mu at a glance, and then he let out a loud shout.

"What are you yelling about?"

Liu Yang said angrily, "Who dares to come to our Taiping Division? Have you forgotten what the Taiping Division does?
If you want to mock me as a gambler, just say so! "

"Junior Brother Cong, ghosts are what ordinary people call them. In fact, they are a form of demons."

Ding Shiyun Road.

"no--"

Cong Yuanlong pointed behind them and almost cried, "There really is a ghost."

The two of them looked back in the direction of Cong Yuanlong's finger, and when they saw it, they jumped up suddenly.

"Junior Brother Su, you died with your eyes wide open, and you're back again?"

Ding Shiyun's eyes widened and he even got the address wrong.

"You are wrong, Uncle Su. You are so generous. We will definitely burn more paper for you."

Liu Yang said.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Chenchen also stood up and looked at Su Mu with a look of doubt, "There is a shadow under the sun, it's a human! There is no demonic aura, Uncle Su, are you alive?"

Luo Anning walked straight to Su Mu without saying a word, stretched out a green finger, and poked Su Mu in the chest.

Su Mu was confused.

Luo Anning poked it again.

"Don't poke it, it's alive."

Su Mu said helplessly.

"The body of a corpse goblin is stiff, but this one is soft, not a corpse goblin. Moreover, I can feel the blood flowing, so it is alive."

Luo Anning said with a tense face, tears flashing in her eyes.

Su Mu raised his hand and placed it on top of her head, rubbing it hard and messing up her hair.

"Of course I'm alive!"

Su Mu said unhappily, "Who told you I was dead?"

"It's Zhao Zhenfushi."

Luo An Ning didn't care about his messy hair. He looked at Su Mu intently and said.

A man just rushed in from the backyard, with one foot already over the gate, but when he heard Luo An Ning's words, he subconsciously retracted his foot.

Damn it, this is so embarrassing!

The news that Wu Yiqi, the fourth-rank inspector of the Wuling Supervisory Office, had returned alive was immediately passed to the Taiping Office.

Zhao Po Nu's first reaction after receiving the news was to tear down Su Mu's mourning hall.

He hurried as fast as he could, but unexpectedly he was still a step behind.

Su Mu had returned to the yamen and saw his own mourning hall.

That girl Luo An Ning even sold herself out!

I, Zhao Po Nu, am a dignified pacification commissioner. Don’t I have any dignity?
"Hey, Lord Zhao, you're here."

At this moment, Cong Yuanlong suddenly shouted, "I have good news for you. It turns out that Captain Su is not dead!"

Swish!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Po Nu who was about to turn around and leave.

Zhao Po Nu stood frozen in place, unable to move forward or backward, with an awkward smile on his face.

"I already know. Captain Su has returned safely, congratulations!"

Zhao Po Nu glared at Cong Yuanlong fiercely and said, "You are the one who talks too much!"

I originally wanted to hide and show up after the funeral procession was over, but now that you're shouting at me, how can I explain myself?

Do you want me to apologize to Su Mu and say that I made a mistake?
"Thanks to Lord Zhao, I was lucky enough to escape. Because I took a long detour, I didn't come back until today."

Su Mu bowed, but did not mention the matter of the mourning hall. Instead, he said solemnly, "Captain of the Peace, Su Mu, I have been ordered to provide support. I have killed two third-level monsters and several second-level monsters in the battle. The mission is completed, and I have come to report!"

Su Mu's loud voice echoed in the air.

All the Taiping captains who came rushing over after hearing the noise gasped.

Not only did Su Mu come back alive, but he also killed two third-level monsters?
They are all Taiping Captains, why are they being forced like dogs by the third-level monsters, but Su Mu can kill the third-level monsters so easily?
Weren’t they encountering the same third-level monster?
"Roger that!"

Zhao Po Nu said in a deep voice, "Captain Su, well done!
This time, the entire army of the Wuling Taiping Division and above were almost wiped out. You have made an indispensable contribution to our safe return.

I will personally recommend you for the award, and you will have another cloud pattern on your collar."

Zhao Po Nu, Lin Qihuan and other Taiping captains all showed envy on their faces.

A cloud pattern represents a special achievement, which is the highest honor of the Taiping Division.

Each of them wants to get a cloud pattern, but so far no one has been able to do it.

Even Zhao Po Nu had nothing on his collar.

But Su Mu now has a second cloud pattern.

But no one felt jealous at all.

Su Mu was able to get two cloud patterns, that was his ability.

Killing a third-order monster with the cultivation level of the Rebirth Realm, no one of them could do it anyway.

Considering what Su Mu has done this time, a special achievement is more than enough.

If the gap is small, they may be jealous, but if the gap is too big, they won't even have the slightest jealousy.

Su Mu's current cultivation level may not be as good as many of them, but Su Mu's strength has been recognized by all their Taiping captains.

"Thank you, sir."

Su Mu also showed joy on his face.

One more special achievement means he is one step closer to promotion.

A sixth-rank lieutenant will soon become a fifth-rank lieutenant.

"By the way, sir, there is one more thing I want to apologize to you for."

Su Mu suddenly said.

"Before, in order to support you, my Lord, our Taiping Division was short-handed. I had no choice but to ask outsiders to help."

Su Mu said a little embarrassedly, "I promised him that I would give him some silver for every person I rescued..."

"Captain Luo has already told me about this."

Zhao Po Nu said nonchalantly, "Those sect warriors have already paid, and we are no exception. Each of us will pay 60,000 taels. All the money is with Captain Luo, so you can just give it to them.

We in the Taiping Division keep our word, and since they have helped us, we cannot let them suffer any loss."

Luo An Ning nodded, "They are all with me. Including Lord Zhao and his men, there are 32 people in total, with a total of 1.92 million taels of silver. I have exchanged them all for Datong Bank's silver notes, and they can be withdrawn at any time."

Sixty thousand taels of silver is a lot of money, but for a martial artist at the Transcendence Realm, it is still possible to scrape together the money.

Although they all thought that Su Mu had died in the battle at first, with Zhao Po Nu stepping forward, no sect warrior could deny his guilt.

In Zhao Po Nu's opinion, even if Su Mu died in the battle, their Taiping Division would help Su Mu fulfill the promise he made.

He originally planned to find out where the person Su Mu hired came from after Su Mu's funeral. If the other person was still alive, he would give the money to the other person. If the other person was dead, he would give the money to the other person's relatives and friends.

Now there is no need to be so troublesome, just give the silver to Su Mu directly.

"Captain Su, you just came back, you must be very tired, go back and rest first, we can talk about anything later."

Zhao Po Nu coughed and said. After persuading Su Mu to return to his residence, Zhao Po Nu hurriedly directed everyone to dismantle the mourning hall.

…………

The inner city of Wuling City.

In a restaurant, an ordinary-looking man was eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls.

His collar was stained with wine and oil, but he seemed not to notice and continued to eat with relish.

This person is none other than Xue Shan, the young master of Jinfeng Tower.

However, even if Su Mu and Wu Yiqi met face to face, they probably would not recognize that this person was Xue Shan.

Because he changed his face again.

This flawless disguise technique is also a unique skill of Jinfeng Tower, which ordinary killers cannot learn.

Xue Shan has mastered the art of disguise to perfection. Even within the Jinfeng Tower, not many people have seen his true face.

After changing his face, he appeared in the inner city of Wuling City so carelessly. No one knew that this person was the killer from Jinfeng Tower.

"Have you heard that the Fourth-Rank Supervisor of the Supervisory Department and Taiping School Lieutenant Su Mu are not dead. They both came back alive."

Just as Xue Shan was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard conversation coming from the table next to him.

"You say it's strange, aren't the Supervisory Department and the Taiping Department incompatible? This fourth-rank supervisor of the Wuling Supervisory Department is actually acting together with the Taiping Captain of the Taiping Department."

"You don't know this, right? I heard that the Supervisor of the Supervisory Department originally didn't want to help the Taiping Department, but the Taiping Department gave too much."

"how to say?"

"I have a relative who is a disciple of the Giant Elephant Sect. This time he was trapped by the monster along with the people from the Taiping Division. I heard him say that the Taiping Division was short of rescuers, so the Taiping Captain offered a large sum of money to invite two helpers. One of them is Wu Yiqi, a fourth-rank inspector from the Wuling Supervisory Division. I don't know who the other one is, but he is also a top-notch expert."

"A large sum of money? How much would it take to make a fourth-rank inspector excited?"

"Sixty thousand taels of silver for saving one person! My relative handed over sixty thousand taels of silver to the Taiping Division. Sixty thousand taels is something we can never earn in several lifetimes."

…………

Xue Shan was listening with great interest. The other top-notch master is me, Xue Shan, but I do good deeds without leaving my name.

He was very proud of himself, but after hearing the last sentence, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Sixty thousand taels?
Damn Su Mu, he collected 60,000 taels of silver from every person he rescued, but in the end he only gave me 15,000 taels? !
What a loss of conscience!
Even my hard-earned money is earned!

I worked so hard and only earned 15,000 taels, but he made 45,000 taels just by opening his mouth. Is this fair?

Xue Shanhu's eyes were filled with tears, and the chicken leg in his mouth no longer tasted good.

…………

Su Mu placed the spirit gathering stone under the bed and felt that the air in the room seemed to be much fresher.

Just taking a breath makes you feel refreshed.

With the spirit-gathering stone, his small courtyard will become a "blessed place" for cultivation.

Practicing martial arts here can be 10% to 20% faster than in other places.

Su Mu thought for a moment, and finally dug a hole under the bed, buried the spirit gathering stone in it, and then re-laid the floor tiles.

Although this is Taipingsi, it is unlikely that anyone would come here to steal.

But this spirit gathering stone is too precious, and Su Mu does not want to use it to test people's hearts.

So he decided not to tell anyone about the existence of this spirit gathering stone.

After putting away the spirit gathering stone, Su Mu sat cross-legged on the bed.

The soil will not isolate the effect of the spirit gathering stone, and he still feels refreshed.

With a slight thought, Su Mu summoned the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Silver-faced assassin (concurrently), Taiping lieutenant (sixth rank)]

[Points: 29000 points]

[Realm: Rebirth Realm (Eleven-fold blood exchange, extreme body tempering realm)]

[Magic Powers: Immortal Golden Body, Blood Body]

[Kung Fu: Four Symbols Rebirth Technique (Vermillion Bird Body Completed)...]

[Martial Arts: Li Fire Artistic Conception (Great Success), Kan Water Artistic Conception (Great Success), Xun Wind Artistic Conception (Great Success), Gen Mountain Artistic Conception (Great Success), Archery (Perfect)]

Almost a month has passed since the rescue operation began.

This month, Su Mu has not consumed any points.

All the points have been accumulated, and now there are 29,000 points.

There is only one thousand points away from the thirty thousand points required to advance to the first level of the Four Symbols Rebirth Art.

In two days, I will be able to accumulate 30,000 points. By then, I will be able to cultivate the first level of the Four Symbols Rebirth Art to perfection.

That is the perfection of the Vermillion Bird Body. In terms of strength, it is no less than the perfection of the Divine Phoenix Body.

This is the terrifying thing about the Four Symbols Rebirth Technique.

Just the perfection of the first level is already comparable to the perfection of other levels of rebirth.

When the fourth level is perfected, the rebirth stage is cultivated to the extreme. The body is almost flawless, far superior to other rebirth methods.

"This method of rebirth was really wasted in Shiji's hands. Perhaps it is precisely because the Four Symbols Rebirth Method is too amazing that no one believes that the Four Symbols Rebirth Method in Shiji's hands is real."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Shi Ji is dead, and now no one knows where Shi Ji got the Four Symbols Rebirth Technique, and no one knows how Shi Ji kept this rebirth method in his hands.

But those are not important to Su Mu, as long as the Four Symbols Rebirth Art is true, it is enough.

"In addition to the 29,000 points, this trip also yielded a lot of other gains."

Su Mu was secretly calculating in his mind.

In addition to the points, he also obtained a priceless treasure, the Spirit Gathering Stone, plus hundreds of thousands of silver.

In addition, there are expressions of gratitude from the pacification envoys and Taiping captains.

And there is a special achievement.

The value of the special achievement is self-evident, it is a first-class merit.

If Su Mu had not just been promoted to the sixth-rank captain, he would have been able to take another small step up based on this special achievement.

But his qualifications are still a bit shallow now.

"In a year or two at most, I will definitely be promoted to fifth-rank lieutenant."

Su Mu was not in a hurry, as his promotion speed was already like a rocket.

Only in the Taiping Division is it possible to be promoted at such a speed. If it were placed in the local government system, even if you waited for decades, you might not be able to be promoted to the fifth rank.

Of course, the promotion speed in the Supervisory Department is quite fast now.

However, Su Mu did not like the style of the Supervisory Office.

"Even if I advance one rank every year, I can become a senior official above the third rank in a few years. This speed is not satisfactory."

Su Mu said to himself, "I should pay Xue Shan the money I owe him first, and see if there are any part-time tasks."

Zhao Po Nu asked him to rest for a few days as the Taiping Division had no tasks for him for the time being.

But Su Mu cannot sit still, he has a part-time job, the Silver-faced Killer in Jinfeng Tower.
