#119 - Chapter 119 The Historian Leaves
After Fang Che used the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to eliminate some historical figure projections, he quickly returned to the state where he couldn't lock onto targets.
After kowtowing dozens more times and seeing that he still couldn't lock onto a target, Fang Che gave up on eliminating the summoned historical figures and instead turned to eliminating the third-tier professionals in this plane.
In the following time, Fang Che spent his time cultivating and using the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to eliminate enemies.
However, Fang Che only eliminated the third-tier professionals of this plane, and he couldn't lock onto the historical figure projections summoned by the historian at all.
Fang Che guessed that the historian had probably left this plane, or perhaps the way the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book eliminated historical figure projections was unique, causing an accident on the historian's side.
Regardless of the reason, Fang Che decided to keep the historian around.
He would only eliminate the historian after he had eliminated those historical figures with rare professions.
Time flew by, and more than ten days quickly passed.
On this day, the third-tier professional who had received Fang Che came to Fang Che's room again and said with a smile:
"Brother Fang Che, your next month's cultivation time is almost here. We would like to discuss with you about staying in this plane for another month to complete your contract with the Iron Fist Guild. What do you think?"
Fang Che did not agree with this.
Before coming, the third-tier professional in front of him had said that as long as Fang Che stayed in this plane, he could cultivate at will and it would not be recorded in the cultivation time.
Now, if the cultivation location was changed to here, Fang Che would be at a disadvantage.
Fang Che was about to refuse when he suddenly realized that the Iron Fist Guild couldn't have thought of this issue. The sudden mention of this matter must have another reason.
So, Fang Che immediately asked, "Is it that you don't need me here anymore?"
The third-tier professional did not answer directly, but instead spoke circuitously:
"The Iron Fist Guild's low-tier professionals have basically recovered their strength, and the historical figures summoned by the historian have not appeared consistently;
We have also just constructed a defensive blockade system, and enemies cannot teleport over to cause damage like before;
Even if the mission is not successful next, the mission completion progress is about the same as other groups."
Hearing these words, Fang Che understood that the Iron Fist Guild no longer needed him to stay here.
In most cases, when multiple groups are performing tasks at the same location, if all tasks fail, everyone will not be hated by the plane's will.
The third-tier professional's statement that the mission completion progress of each group was about the same meant that the Iron Fist Guild was prepared to fight to the death with the other groups.
If they were lucky, they might even be able to complete the mission. In short, Fang Che was no longer needed here.
Fang Che thought for a moment, recalling that when he went to other planes to cultivate last time, he had signed a contract that mentioned a conquered plane.
Li Xing had promised Fang Che to let Fang Che go to that conquered plane to cultivate, and also allowed Fang Che to kill the professionals of that plane at will.
If Fang Che did not stay here to cultivate, he would be dispatched to that plane.
However, Fang Che was not sure if there were still professionals worth hunting in that plane, so Fang Che asked:
"The vice-leader previously promised me to go to a certain plane to cultivate, allowing me to kill the professionals of that plane. I would like to ask, how does the number of professionals in that plane compare to here?"
The third-tier professional replied, "When I communicated with the vice-leader, I learned that three days ago, there were no living things left in that plane."
Hearing this, Fang Che immediately replied, "I am willing to stay here to cultivate for a month."
The third-tier professional instantly understood that Fang Che wanted to stay here to kill in addition to cultivating.
Just as he was about to remind Fang Che of the difficulty of killing, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the Myriad Souls Banner.
Recently, the Myriad Souls Banner had absorbed a lot of souls, and Fang Che must have a special way of killing people without going out.
So, the third-tier professional retracted the words of reminder back into his stomach, took out a contract, and said:
"The cultivation time will start from midnight on the first of next month and end at midnight on the first of the month after next. You will be teleported away at that time. Let's sign a contract."
"Okay." Fang Che nodded lightly, released a stream of energy, and integrated it into the contract. The contract was signed instantly.
The third-tier professional took back the contract and said with a smile, "Brother Fang Che can move freely within the Iron Fist Guild's blockade area. I'll take my leave."
"Goodbye."
After that, Fang Che re-arranged his props and continued to kill and cultivate.
……
In the underground space, a man entered the historian's room and said with a serious expression:
"The area occupied by the Iron Fist Guild has been blocked off. Your Excellency cannot stop the Iron Fist Guild's actions. We hope that Your Excellency will summon thinkers to the front lines to help us complete the killing mission."
"No way!" The historian refused the man's proposal without hesitation.
Now the historian could no longer summon thinkers to fight. In order to avoid exposing his strength, he had to terminate the mission and leave quickly.
In order to avoid arousing the man's suspicion, the historian explained, "You hired me only to harass the Iron Fist Guild, not to hire me to complete the killing mission."
Hearing this, the man immediately took out a contract and a storage ring, and said with a smile:
"We have prepared the next employment contract, and the price will definitely satisfy you."
The historian shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, I have already discussed with others before I came here and I am going to perform some other tasks."
The man said with a smile, "The price is negotiable, we can give you more."
The historian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this is not a matter of money. I have already agreed with others in advance, and I can't break the contract."
The man was a little disappointed, put away the contract and the storage ring, and asked, "Then let's not talk about the contract. When are you leaving? I'll send you away."
The historian replied calmly, "Let's go now. I can't help you much anyway, and there's no point in staying here."
The man nodded, took out a prop and handed it to the historian, and said, "I'll take my leave."
The historian took the prop and nodded lightly, "Goodbye."
After the man left, the historian put away the books in the room, put on his cloak and mask, and crushed the prop in his hand.
The next second, a cloud of mist wrapped the historian, and the historian disappeared in place in an instant.
In the Emperor Plane, the historian who was teleported to a certain mission hall felt the familiar energy aura around him and relaxed slightly.
Then, the historian quickly left this place and came to a hidden area to summon the historical figure projection.
The historian stared at the historical figure projection for a long time, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself:
"The creatures in that plane were crazy. There must be something wrong with the plane, which affected the historical figures I summoned. If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone there."
After saying this, the historian became a little nervous, quickly summoned all the historical figure projections in the book, and carefully checked them to avoid problems.
Immediately afterwards, the historian saw the historical figure projection disappear inexplicably again!
