Cultivation Online

1310 A Hundred and Twelve Exiles

After giving Yuan a brief explanation of what to expect, Dazzling Sword opened the mansion doors and led him inside.

The interior was extremely quiet, almost as though they were the only ones there. Of course, that wasn't the case. Most of the Exiles were in their own room with their partner, guiding their partner's cultivation.

Since it required one to reach the Supreme Heaven to complete the Supreme Heaven's Legacy and Exiles are unable to ascend on their own, they could only rely on their partners. Regrettably for these Exiles, their partners were Players who were unaware of cultivation until very recently, so it was much harder for them to grasp cultivation techniques. If it weren't for the system's assistance, most of them would be utterly hopeless when it comes to cultivation.

Sometime later, Dazzling Sword led Yuan and Xiao Hua to their room where they would be sharing together.

"This will be your room for now. Once you are officially recruited into our group, you'll receive another room. You are also not allowed to roam this place until then. Any questions?" Dazzling Sword explained.

"How long will it take for the recruiter to show up?" Yuan asked.

"It shouldn't take long. A few hours at most. You have a Lord-

grade Exile, after all." Dazzling Sword said. "Later then."

Dazzling Sword closed the door on the way out.

While they waited for the recruitment to continue, Yuan used his divine sense to scout the area and examine everyone within the building.

Out of the hundred and twelve Exiles, the majority of them were men with only four being female. They also had the appearance of a gangster and the aura of a delinquent. They are the type that people subconsciously avoid on the streets.

"Xiao Hua, I know that as an Exile, you feel responsible for the other Exiles, but as partners, it's only natural to share responsibilities. Can you leave them to me this time?" Yuan asked her.

"Okay…" Xiao Hua reluctantly nodded her head. Even if she wanted to deal with these Exiles, she knew that she did not have the capability to do so in her current state.

Of course, it would be a different story if she released the seal within her like the last time, but Xiao Hua did not want to rely too much on the monster within her.

"But Brother Yuan, I want you to let me take care of that man from before." Xiao Hua suddenly said.

While she may not be able to fight over a hundred Exiles at once, she definitely didn't mind taking care of one.

"I don't mind." Yuan nodded.

About half an hour later, Yuan turned to look at the door when someone knocked on it.

'They came earlier than I'd expected.'

He went to open the door to find a beautiful young lady standing outside.

Yuan raised his eyebrows after seeing this woman with a familiar face.

'This woman… If I recall correctly, we met during my visit to Bai Lihua's estate. What was her name again…?'

As Yuan tried to recall her identity, the woman greeted him with a friendly smile and said, "Hello, I'm Fiery Queen from the Walkers Family. May I come inside, Xiao Yang?"

'Fiery Queen? Oh, right. She tried to recruit me to the Walkers Family back then.' Yuan finally recalled her identity. Despite his excellent memory, his mind tends to automatically filter out unnecessary or unimportant information.

"Please." Yuan gestured for her to enter the room.

As Fiery Queen entered the room, her eyes shifted towards Xiao Hua, who was calmly seated on the couch.

Once they were all seated, Fiery Queen spoke, "In case you don't know, I am from the Ten Great Families that organized this quest."

Yuan smiled and said, "I have heard of you."

"Good, then let's start the final recruitment—"

"—Actually, this is more like an interview, since you are pretty much already recruited. You have been briefed about our mission by Dazzling Sword, correct?" Fiery Queen asked.

"Indeed. Our mission is to defeat an Exile who hailed from the Asura Clan."

"That's right. Her existence is incredibly dangerous and would hinder not only the other Exiles but also us—Players." Fiery Queen said with a serious frown on her face.

"Just how powerful is this Exile?" Yuan asked.

"She's strong enough to treat other Exiles as toddlers. However, now that there are over a hundred of us working together, it will only be a matter of time before we defeat her."

Seeing how she refused to talk about him, Yuan decided to poke the bear at the hornet's nest a little, "This Exile… she should also have a partner, right? Do we know who it is?"

Fiery Queen's face twitched a little after hearing his question, and she hastily said, "A-As far as I am aware, this Exile is working alone."

"If she doesn't have a partner, how could she threaten us? I was told that Exiles are not allowed to ascend by themselves."

"While they cannot ascend alone, they can still do other things, such as hindering other Exiles and Players. This Exile from the Asura Clan is extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. In fact, she had killed over a hundred Players already."

"Is that so… If she's that dangerous, she definitely needs to be stopped."

"I'm glad that we are on the same page. Now let's talk about our contract. Since you are willing to work with us, we will supply you with a Heaven-grade treasure. Unfortunately, we don't have any on hand right now since they had all been taken by those who came before you, but if you see a Heaven-grade treasure that you would like to have on sale anywhere, we will purchase it for you."

"As for your money of 5 million dollars, we will send it to you the moment we have your bank information."

Yuan nodded, "Sounds great."

Fiery Queen then continued with a fierce look on her face, "However, I must warn you… Once our money is in your bank, you can no longer back out of this quest. If you do so, we— the Ten Great Families— will crush you with our full force. Do you understand?"

"Of course. I wouldn't dare to do anything like that." Yuan nodded with a calm smile.
