Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen called Dongzi to wake them up and told them to go to Dongzi's villa to rest.

He hasn't gone back yet, and the fact that Villa 1301 is already known to others means Ye Chen is afraid that someone might sneak over there.

What I fear most is that the old man will just touch me directly.

In that case, Dongzi and his ilk would only have the option of being slaughtered.

After making the call, Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then took out the black demon's phone, opened the website, uploaded the picture, and submitted the task to complete.

He then went to hide near the scrap yard and began to patiently fish.

Now that the task is complete, shouldn't we come and check it out?

Ye Chen is in the shadows while his opponent is in the open. If he launches a surprise attack, even a Foundation Establishment expert would perish.

Ye Chen waited until evening, but no one from the scrap yard came!

The task on my Black Magic account shows that it has been completed, approved, and the money has been credited to my account.

Ye Chen didn't know whether to say the other party was stupid and had too much money, since they didn't even bother to check the goods for a 100 million bounty mission.

Since no one was going to inspect the goods, he had no choice but to go back.

Ye Chen returned to Longjin Residential Area at around 8 p.m.

A day in the life of an Air Force officer, exposed to wind and sun.

The next day, Ye Chen saw that one of the other missions in Lucheng had also been completed.

He then directly completed Ah Long's bounty mission.

Even a hunter could complete the task, so there was no need for Master 999 to personally take action.

That's probably how they eliminated suspects.

I wonder how the old man will react after all the tasks are completed.

The money was spent, and all the suspects were eliminated. Their expressions must have been priceless.

Ye Chen didn't expect this little trick to fool the other party for long.

But every day he delays is a day in the future, and his strength can improve day by day.

Your confidence will grow stronger day by day.

He's very protective of his life...

Moreover, that old man could reach the Foundation Establishment stage at any time. What if he only comes out of seclusion after he has reached the Foundation Establishment stage?

All of these are possible.

No one knows just how strong the old man who is about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage will be.

Ye Chen didn't consider himself a genius who could easily fight opponents of higher levels.

That's all for the sake of the show on TV!

Who wouldn't want to play it safe if they could? Why would anyone bother fighting against higher-level players when they can fight against lower-level ones?

He's currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and if he can beat someone at the seventh level, he definitely won't go looking for trouble with someone at the ninth level.

Not to mention the old man who is about to establish his foundation; he has eaten more rice than salt.

If things go wrong and we end up losing our boat, there's really no one to complain to.

Don't you see how the main characters on TV always seem to be risking their lives, fighting for survival?

It's like dancing on a knife's edge; one wrong move and something bad is bound to happen!

Ye Chen felt this was inappropriate and that it was best to proceed with caution.

They can only play like that because they have a mysterious old man protecting them, but he doesn't.

If Master No. 999 waits until he becomes a Nascent Soul expert before seeking revenge, Ye Chen doesn't think it's entirely unacceptable...

If we can't reason with them when the time comes, it's not too late to use a finger to persuade them with virtue!

Ye Chen did not leave the house for the next two days.

He resumed his relentless cultivation mode, hoping to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

When he got tired of cultivation, he would practice sword control and the Five Elements techniques to strengthen his control over the spiritual energy in his body.

Once you reach a higher cultivation level, adapting to that new level isn't as difficult as Ye Chen imagined.

After two days of practice, he felt good about himself and had a clearer understanding of his own abilities.

Ye Chen's phone rang again that day. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was a fake number. He cursed inwardly.

Damn, could it be that old man calling again?

If it really is that old man, it means the other party has noticed something amiss.

If Ye Chen accepts the order, it's tantamount to telling him, "Yes, yes, I did it!"

Ye Chen put his phone on silent and ignored the call. He also sent a message to Ah Long, telling him not to answer the phone either.

Ah Long said he had already answered the call and even scolded the other party...

Ye Chen took a deep breath. It seemed that Ah Long had made a mistake!

If we use the elimination method based on phone calls, then the old man probably had someone dial the numbers one by one.

If anyone answers the phone, it means that person is safe, and the mission on the dark web is considered a failure.

Since Ah Long has already accepted the offer, the other party must have already locked onto Ah Long.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and finally chose to answer the phone when the other party called for the third time.

Sure enough, it was the old man's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hehehe, not bad, you even know how to play games. Trying to get your underlings to take the blame, huh? Let me tell you, no way. Ye Chen, or rather, Number 998, you killed my disciple, didn't you!"

"Who are you? I don't know what you're talking about," Ye Chen retorted stubbornly.

"Stop pretending, Ye Chen, you are number 998. Although you disguised yourself, I've seen the video and your photos. Your body shape is exactly the same. Your appearance can be changed, but your body movements cannot!"

The old man spoke with certainty.

Since the other party had already seen through him, Ye Chen stopped pretending to be stupid.

Ye Chen chuckled: "You old codger, you're quite clever, you do have some tricks up your sleeve."

"Do you really think I'm old and my mind is getting senile? You think you can get away with it by just filling in your driver's phone number? How naive!" The old man on the other end of the phone sneered.

"Since you suspected it was me all along, why did you use the dark web to offer bounties on so many people!" Ye Chen retorted.

"Because they competed with my apprentice, they both deserve to die!" the old man said matter-of-factly.

"And Huang Longtian is your driver, and you filled in his number, so naturally I can't let him get away with this!"

Ye Chen was speechless. Just because he had competed with his apprentice in bidding, did they want to mess with him?

What kind of logic is this?

"I have a question. You approved all the dark web tasks. Where did you find the flaw?" Ye Chen asked.

The old man smiled mysteriously: "I was only 80% suspicious of you at first, but the real confirmation came when you submitted that photo. This is a classic case of being too clever for your own good!"

"Oh, you're so old, yet you can tell the image is photoshopped? That's so professional!" Ye Chen opened his mouth.

He thinks the image composite is pretty good.

The old man said quietly, "Hmph, I must say, you young people are quite skilled at Photoshop. I couldn't find a single flaw."

"However, I was at the junkyard the whole time, and nobody came that day, yet the bounty was still completed. Doesn't that just prove you did it?!"

"Even a mid-level hunter is still quite professional; dealing with an ordinary person shouldn't be a problem for them. You must be a member of the Xuanmen sect, right? That's why my disciple died at your hands!"

The old man's voice was so cold it could drip water.

Ye Chen frowned slightly. Was that old man there that day?
