Zhang Yue’s guess was spot on.
After hearing the announcement about the Skull Island Secret Realm upgrade, Chen Jun indeed brought people to block the exit!
So, Zhang Yue had Su Jinyan leave first on purpose, then waited for Chen Jun to withdraw his people before coming out himself!
After leaving the Skull Island Secret Realm, Zhang Yue returned to the Capital of Death.
On the other side.
Su Jinyan was heading towards the Holy Light Cemetery, with Chen Jun and his men following closely behind, unable to shake them off!
At this moment, Su Jinyan said to Chen Jun, “Tell the Killer Mercenary Group to withdraw. Stop blocking Zhang Yue and the Supreme Guild members.”
“That Liu Yao, his father is the largest shareholder of the Supreme Guild. If you kill him, what do you think his father will do?”
Su Jinyan glanced at Chen Jun and said, “What you’re doing will bring a huge threat to our Mist Rain Pavilion! They can’t target us newbies, but our guild’s high-level professionals over level 100 will definitely face retaliation from the Supreme Guild!”
“Let them come!” Chen Jun said dismissively, “Our Mist Rain Pavilion is ranked fifth in Zhening Province, with over a hundred thousand members, many of whom are sixth or seventh-turn experts. Are we supposed to be afraid of the Supreme Guild?”
Su Jinyan was momentarily speechless.
She had planned to shake off Chen Jun and his men, then circle back to the Capital of Death to meet up with Zhang Yue.
But Chen Jun followed Su Jinyan all the way to the Holy Light Cemetery!
At this moment, Chen Jun seemed to suddenly realize a serious issue and questioned Su Jinyan, “Wait a minute!”
“You said you soloed the Skull Island, but according to the Secret Realm’s settings: the activator of a hidden Secret Realm, even if they clear it first, cannot receive the Secret Realm Scroll reward!”
“When the system announcement came, you clearly received a Secret Realm Scroll!”
“You didn’t go into the Secret Realm alone!”
Su Jinyan had anticipated this issue long ago, but she didn’t expect Chen Jun to be so slow-witted, only realizing it now!
So, she calmly replied, “I went in with my bestie, Ling Wan’er. She activated the Secret Realm, and I got the first clear. Is there a problem?”
Chen Jun asked, “Then where is your bestie? Why didn’t she come out with you?”
“She accidentally died while fighting the Skeleton General,” Su Jinyan answered without hesitation.
She had already coordinated with her bestie Ling Wan’er through Feixin, so even if Chen Jun asked Ling Wan’er, the story would match what Su Jinyan just said!
Chen Jun’s expression softened, thinking: Maybe I’m overthinking it…
“Anything else? If not, I’m logging off.”
With that, Su Jinyan logged off.
Chen Jun, still suspicious, called over members of the Killer Mercenary Group and asked, “The Beast Tamer Zhang Yue I told you to watch, are you sure he hasn’t left the Safe Zone?”
The Killer Not So Cold replied, “I’ve seen him at the Holy Light Cemetery several times. Besides, all four gates are guarded, and anyone entering or leaving is checked. How could he get out?”
Chen Jun dismissed his doubts, thinking: Seems like Jinyan wasn’t lying.
Feeling pleased with himself, Chen Jun laughed, “It’s been three nights in a row. The remaining defense value of their tomb can’t withstand Grim Reaper Caesar’s attack tonight!”
“Hmph, Zhang Yue, you’re dead!”
Then, Chen Jun had the Killer Mercenary Group take him out to level up.
Meanwhile, Su Jinyan logged off for breakfast, then quickly returned online.
Leaving the Holy Light Cemetery, she headed straight for the Capital of Death to meet up with Zhang Yue.
Su Jinyan handed the Secret Realm Scroll obtained from Skull Island to Zhang Yue. “Here!”
The reason for tackling Skull Island was to quickly level up and increase strength.
The basic rewards for clearing the Skull Island Secret Realm were secondary and not very significant.
The main prize was this Secret Realm Scroll!
The bounty mission from a Level 25 King Grade Secret Realm Scroll could greatly boost Zhang Yue’s strength in a short time!
So, Zhang Yue took the Secret Realm Scroll without hesitation.
At this moment, Su Jinyan said, “At least upgrade it to Golden Grade. Only then will it help you level up quickly, right?”
“Golden Grade isn’t enough,” Zhang Yue said. “It has to be King Grade.”
Su Jinyan was stunned. “But upgrading a Level 25 Secret Realm Scroll from Black Iron Grade to King Grade requires at least four to five hundred thousand Psionic Energy…”
Su Jinyan furrowed her brows and thought, “Strength in numbers. I’ll find people to pool Psionic Energy and help you upgrade the scroll!”
“No need,” Zhang Yue said, looking at the scroll in his hand. “I have enough Psionic Energy.”
“That’s hundreds of thousands of Psionic Energy! You’ve only been in the Otherworld for a few days, and you used a lot refining the Secret Order before. Where did you…”
Before Su Jinyan could finish, Zhang Yue upgraded the scroll with a single click, and the originally dull scroll in his hand glowed with a golden light!
Su Jinyan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “This…”
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue crushed the scroll.
“Ding~ You have used a Level 25 King Grade Secret Realm Scroll, Gold Coins +8. Congratulations, you have received the Level 25 King Grade Bounty Mission [Skeleton Hunter]!”
[Skeleton Hunter] (King Grade Bounty Mission)
[Difficulty Coefficient: 380]
[Description: As a qualified Skeleton Hunter, you need to confront Grim Reaper Caesar and kill his subordinates. Please kill 300 skeletons that are at least 5 levels higher than you.]
[Reward: ?]
[Time: 24 hours]
Bounty missions are meant to provide rewards for professionals, so the mission grade doesn’t increase the difficulty but only enhances the rewards!
This mission wasn’t difficult.
In the Capital of Death, there were Level 28 Skeleton Mages, 6 levels higher than Zhang Yue, which could be used as targets.
It could also be completed alongside the [Against the Grim Reaper] mission!
Only 130 more Skeleton Mages were needed to complete the [Against the Grim Reaper] mission!
The previous Level 15 King Grade Bounty Mission [Zombie Crisis] had a reward of 200,000 Experience Points.
This Level 25 King Grade Bounty Mission would likely offer no less than 300,000 Experience Points!
Plus, the [Against the Grim Reaper] mission had a reward of 250,000 Experience Points.
Combined, it would be enough for Zhang Yue to level up from 22 to 25!
Previously, while killing Skeleton Mages, a general-purpose magic item, the [Necromancer Boots], had dropped.
The Skull Island Secret Realm reward included a pair of Beast Tamer [Necromancer Leggings].
The hidden Skull Island activation reward had three [Necromancer Set Self-Select Boxes], which could cover three parts.
With two parts remaining, a bit more grinding of Skeleton Mages and completing the two missions should yield a full Necromancer Set!
It was clear.
Once Zhang Yue reached Level 25 and equipped the full Level 25 Golden Attributes Necromancer Set…
The Killer Mercenary Group would be annihilated!
