A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

The alliance gathered its mercenary groups at the foot of Mount Yu, in an open area not far from the city.

When Feng Jiutian led the people of Jiuxiao to the rendezvous point notified by the alliance, they found that the dark mass of people was actually all there!

Feng Jiutian only expected a few well-known mercenary groups to come, but he didn't expect so many people to come.

"master."

Ji Tianzuo, standing behind Feng Jiutian, said in a low voice, "That over there is the Bloodfrost Mercenary Group, which is ranked number one on the mercenary guild list. They had a conflict with us some time ago over a high-level mission, so please be careful, Master."

Following the direction indicated by Ji Tianzuo, Feng Jiutian saw several extremely arrogant-looking people standing amidst layers of crowd.

Although they all held their heads high, looking arrogant and disdainful, they actually reeked of blood and were definitely not ordinary people.

A thoughtful look flashed across Feng Jiutian's eyes, and the person in the center of the crowd, who looked extremely gorgeous, seemed to have noticed Feng Jiutian's scrutiny, and glanced at Feng Jiutian with a cold look!

"call--"

A faint sound rang out in the air, and in the blink of an eye, Feng Jiutian had already exchanged blows with his opponent using their divine senses.

Feng Jiutian's mind jolted, then a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes. He withdrew his divine sense and refused to look in that direction again.

Because the opponent is very strong!

Feng Jiutian didn't think she could defeat her opponent before refining Ling Yuan's power; that was unrealistic.

"what?"

Duan Zhiyuan let out a puzzled "Eh," his gaze lingering on the woman in black not far away for a moment before he looked away before she could get angry, his expression somewhat strange.

This woman...

Very strong.

Duan Zhiyuan's evaluation of Feng Jiutian was the same as Feng Jiutian's evaluation of Duan Zhiyuan; they could both sense that the other was very strong.

Moreover, Duan Zhiyuan knew Ji Tianzuo, who was standing behind Feng Jiutian. Some time ago, they had a conflict over an SS-level mission. Duan Zhiyuan could clearly understand that Ji Tianzuo was a cold and reserved person. Such a person was not talkative and not easy to submit to. Therefore, Duan Zhiyuan only hesitated for a moment before giving up on the idea of ​​subduing him.

But now, he wants to subdue Ji Tianzuo, yet he's standing so obediently behind that woman! Just who is she?

A thoughtful look flashed across Duan Zhiyuan's eyes. He decided to find an opportunity to test the waters. If it was just someone passing by, that would be fine, but if it could threaten the status of his Bloodfrost First Mercenary Group... then he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless!

Feng Jiutian wore a mask, which was a spiritual artifact she forged herself using the forging method taught by Gu Luo, so no one could see her face under the mask.

She stood behind Mo Shaoxie, pushing his wheelchair, and instructed everyone to call her "Ninth Miss," so that the people of Xixuan Kingdom would not notice her presence.

When facing Ji Xiao, Feng Jiutian kept all his plans a secret. Even when Ji Xiao asked him something, he just gave a few casual answers.

After resting enough, Mo Qiniang appeared in the group. She was full of curiosity about strangers and got along well with Feng Zhi. Soon the two became friends.

Feng Jiutian had been avoiding meeting Mo Qiniang and Ji Xiao, so when they gathered at the foot of Yushan Mountain, she coaxed them into the Void Spirit Cauldron.

She had also informed Feng Zhi and the others in advance, and no one would tell Ji Xiao about Mo Qiniang's existence.

As Mo Shaoxie had said before, the person controlling Ji Xiao was probably the former Holy Maiden of the Gu Mo Clan. No one knew what the other party's purpose was, so Feng Jiutian naturally had to be careful in his actions.

Because it is located at the foot of Mount Yu, the forest here is extremely dense, and the edge of Mount Yu's protective barrier is not far away.

Half an hour passed, and the crowd grew larger and larger, with the sounds of people talking and making noise. Several more mercenary groups arrived one after another, which aroused Feng Jiutian's suspicion.

The alliance didn't reveal what this SSS-level mission was, only that a generous reward would be given regardless of whether the mission was completed or not, and many people were drawn to it just for that reason.

After looking around again, Feng Jiutian lowered her head and concealed her emotions when she saw Shangguan Yi.

It turns out that Shangguan Yi also accepted the alliance's mission, but would the King of Beiqi allow Shangguan Yi to act so recklessly?

Shangguan Yi, surrounded by two mercenary teams, swaggered into the crowd, fanning himself with a fan, and instantly became the center of attention.

Feng Jiutian deliberately concealed his presence, preventing Shangguan Yi from discovering their existence for a time.

When Mo Shaoxie was playing the Seventh Prince, he had virtually no presence and was so easily forgotten that Feng Jiutian wasn't worried about anyone causing trouble for him.

Even if someone recognizes Mo Shaoxie's identity and comes to cause trouble, Feng Jiutian will stand in front of Mo Shaoxie and will never let anyone bully him!

Another quarter of an hour passed.

"Hula-"

A gust of wind swept over everyone's heads, casting a shadow over them for a moment before stopping in front of the Yushan barrier, where the group landed on the ground.

"Wow, this is a level six eagle beast that has been tamed, and it's being used as a mount. The Alliance is truly powerful!"

"Although it has been domesticated, this eagle beast still seems to retain its wildness, which is particularly frightening."

"..."

Amidst the chatter, Feng Jiutian glanced at the enormous eagle beast and frowned slightly.

Monsters tamed by tamers have lost their wild nature and no longer possess much offensive power. This eagle beast is no exception. After being tamed, even though it is a sixth-tier monster, it has lost its former wildness and can only be used as a mount for humans.

Feng Jiutian then glanced at the group of people who had just jumped down from the eagle beast; their strength—

Immortal Master.

They were all immortal masters.

This also deepened Feng Jiutian's vigilance. He knew that these old guys were definitely figures in the heart of the alliance, and what kind of mission could it be that had sent several immortal masters out together?

"Cough cough."

The white-bearded old man standing at the head of the barrier coughed twice, his voice, infused with spiritual energy, spreading out so that everyone could hear him clearly: "Please be quiet."

After this voice rang out, the murmurs from the crowd gradually subsided. The old man smiled with satisfaction and continued, "Those of you who have come today must have all received missions from the Mercenary Guild. This mission is..."

"Find the person who possesses this jade pendant within this Yushan Mountain!"

As he spoke, the man clapped his hands, and the two people behind him immediately unfolded a roll of white paper, clearly displaying it to everyone.

"This……"
