I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1276 - 1280: I’ll Take Responsibility If Anything Happens

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1280: I’ll Take Responsibility If Anything Happens
"Kid, have you thought it through? Do you really want to tear down Chanling Academy for that little girl?" Little White asked, "Do you know that even though Chanling Academy only has one Saint, at least three of the students they trained have reached the level of Saint."
"So what?" Zhang Menglong replied, "Even if they all come together, there’ll only be four Saints, while I have eleven here!"
"Are you stupid or pretending to be? They are alumni of this school, their feelings for it are very deep, they would even give their lives to protect Chanling Academy. But the link between you and those Saints is just a matter of mutual interest. Do you really think they would risk their lives to help you? If their lives are truly endangered, they’ll definitely flee first."
"I don’t plan on asking them to kill for me. As long as they can help me hold off those people, it’s enough," Zhang Menglong said.
"That’s not enough people!" Little White said, "You’ll also need a group to block those Wheel Mystery realm martial artists. At Chanling Academy, every academy instructor is a Wheel Mystery realm martial artist. With four academies, there are at least a hundred and eighty people, plus some elders and graduates who continue to run organizations within the school..."
"Then I’ll find more people!" Zhang Menglong had just asked Gou Dan to help upgrade some of the Super God Academy’s teachers, but this upgrade was slower than usual, taking about three days. Otherwise, Zhang Menglong wouldn’t need to look for help and could destroy Chanling Academy by himself.
But he couldn’t wait any longer. Clearly, aside from Xi Ningbing being unable to bear the humiliation, others are also in danger. Although they advised Xi Ningbing to give up on him at that time, during his coma, they helped care for his wounds and meals. Zhang Menglong is a man who pays back gratitude and revenge, and they can’t have anything happen to them now.
"Little White, is there anywhere I can get some people?" Zhang Menglong asked. "The Stigma Continent should have organizations similar to mercenaries, right? I need a group, at least above the eighth realm of Wheel Mystery! But I don’t have much money, I have Starstones!"
Zhang Menglong knew very well that the tens of trillions of Sacred Gold he had probably wouldn’t invite many experts of the Wheel Mystery realm, but Starstones are treasures that even Saints covet.
"Yes!" Little White said. "Although there isn’t such a specific organization, the Stigma Continent does have a large mission posting platform. As long as the reward you offer is tempting enough, someone will be willing to accept despite the danger."
"How much does a peak Wheel Mystery realm martial artist cost?"
"The cost adjusts based on how dangerous the mission is. Your action is incredibly risky, so let’s calculate using 50 trillion Sacred Gold per person. But most peak Wheel Mystery realm martial artists aren’t short on money. They care more about things that aid their cultivation. Three Starstones should be enough to entice a peak Wheel Mystery realm martial artist. With five, they might even be willing to take greater risks."
"Just how many Starstones do you have?" Little White curiously asked. He knew Zhang Menglong had Starstones, but having a few hundred would already be impressive. A typical Saint might only have a few hundred Starstones.
However, this batch of Starstones could only hire about thirty to fifty people, which wouldn’t have much effect before the Saints arrived.
Zhang Menglong remained silent because he feared he might curse if he started talking now. Following Little White’s guidance, he found the mission posting platform.
The platform had many missions, ranging from small ones like introducing friends on the overpass to large ones like wars between Empires, with an unimaginable amount of them. Without extraordinarily appealing rewards, they might go unnoticed.
Zhang Menglong input "Starstone" as the keyword. The search yielded only a few thousand results. According to Little White, this ratio was quite common.
Without hesitation, Zhang Menglong proceeded to post a mission:
I require assistance from a group of martial artists. The risk is considerable, and the rewards are as follows:
Saint Realm: 200 Starstones
Half-step Sage: 50 Starstones
Wheel Mystery Peak: 20 Starstones
Wheel Mystery Ninth Realm: 15 Starstones
Wheel Mystery Eighth Realm: 10 Starstones
Martial artists below the eighth realm of Wheel Mystery are not accepted. Half of the payment will be made before the mission starts, and the remaining half after completion.
"Kid, are you crazy?" Little White said, seeing the task announcement Zhang Menglong posted. Honestly, he was somewhat tempted even though he knew the trip to Chanling Academy was extremely dangerous. However, the price Zhang Menglong offered was more than twice the market rate!
"With great rewards come great warriors. The more I offer, the more people I can attract. Three to five hundred people should be enough!"
"Three to five hundred people?" Little White was taken aback. If this batch of people were hired with a price equivalent to 20 Starstones per person, it would almost cost ten thousand Starstones. Did Zhang Menglong have so many Starstones?
Within seconds of the mission being posted, Zhang Menglong received the first email.
The first martial artist had accepted his mission. His credentials were officially certified by the Martial Artist Association, ranked on the ground list, and was a Wheel Mystery Peak warrior.
The Stigma Continent’s Heaven List is a ranking of Saints and Half-step Sages, while the Ground List consists of Wheel Mystery realm martial artists. Out of thousands of Wheel Mystery realm warriors, being in the top 10,000 indicates his skills are highly reliable.
After the first person, more and more martial artists were joining in, even some Half-step Sages appeared. Zhang Menglong cared about both quality and quantity, so he conducted a selection.
Half an hour later, 1270 martial artists had submitted applications. Zhang Menglong chose the 500 who were closest and strongest, including 12 Half-step Sages. Among the others, Wheel Mystery Peak and Wheel Mystery Ninth Realm warriors were equally represented.
By evening, all 500 martial artists had gathered. They never expected that their employer this time would just be a young kid at the Second Realm of Desolation.
But Zhang Menglong, without a word, directly presented the agreed 50% deposit, involving more than 5000 Starstones, which left them stunned.
Some even considered robbing Zhang Menglong then and there; no one knew how many Starstones he actually had on him.
However, no one dared to do such a thing. The task platform was highly authoritative, created by several organizations together. If anyone broke the rules, they’d face a vendetta across the entire Stigma Continent. They weren’t fugitives, so there was no need to do such a thing.
"Little brother, what exactly is our mission this time?"
"Yeah, with rewards this high and so many benefits, we’re feeling a bit uneasy."
"I need to go to Chanling Academy to kill a person, or maybe a group of people!" Zhang Menglong said.
"Chanling Academy?" These four words caused many to fret. Killing was usual; who in the Wheel Mystery realm didn’t have a few lives to their name?
But Chanling Academy was widely known. With Saints inside, even if these people banded together enough to challenge a second-rate dynasty, if a Saint appeared, their numbers would be futile, even if doubled.
"Rest assured, everyone. I’ve already invited eleven Saints, but they are far away and might arrive late!"
Only then did everyone feel somewhat reassured, but they were still amazed by Zhang Menglong’s connections. To invite eleven Saints at once; few across the entire Stigma Continent could manage that, no one knew what kind of deal he made.
"Let’s move out first!" Zhang Menglong said. "We’ll storm Chanling Academy directly. If you’re concerned about future vendettas, you can conceal your appearance and aura. If anything happens, it’s on me. However, within a few days, it’s highly likely there will be no more Chanling Academy in this world."
