The convoy left the city, traveling swiftly towards Wanhua City.
Chu Qiao, looking at her tablet, asked, "What do you do when you're not on a mission? Do you become a demon hunter?"
Seeing Chu Qiao inquire, Qin Hanchu replied, "When I'm not on a mission, I cultivate at home. I haven't been a demon hunter yet."
Hearing this, Chu Qiao nodded.
She had intended to find some conversation, but found there wasn't much to talk about with Qin Hanchu.
Eventually, the two fell into silence again.
The journey was very peaceful; even when they encountered monsters, they were able to evade them in advance using radar.
Without incident, the mission was completed safely.
"We'll head back in three days. I'll contact you in advance then," Chu Qiao said.
"Alright."
After leaving the logistics park, Qin Hanchu found a hotel to stay in.
That evening, Qin Hanchu went to a nightclub.
The nightclubs in this world were even more intoxicating than those on Blue Star.
Over a dozen beauties in bikinis stood on the stage, swaying their bodies.
To the pulsating music, hundreds of people released their life's stresses on the dance floor.
Arriving at the bar, Qin Hanchu ordered a drink.
He took a sip and then nodded slightly.
The taste of this wine was better than the wine from his own world.
Although the wine here was good, Qin Hanchu wasn't here to drink.
His main objective today was to "recruit" a subordinate.
With his own strength, it would be difficult for Qin Hanchu to find Qin Feng.
Therefore, he had to develop his own influence.
He needed subordinates to search for him.
Before arriving, Qin Hanchu had already investigated the background of this nightclub.
The owner of the nightclub was named Zhang Qiangjun, a martial artist at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
He also had an Elementalist backing him.
Qin Hanchu's true target was this Elementalist.
The martial artists in this world were stronger than those on Blue Star, and their understanding of the five elements was more profound.
Qin Hanchu wanted to deepen his understanding of the five elements through this Elementalist.
As he was savoring his drink, a bald middle-aged man, flanked by his subordinates, walked in.
He was the owner of the nightclub, Zhang Qiangjun.
Setting down his glass, Qin Hanchu moved through the crowd towards Zhang Qiangjun.
Under Qin Hanchu's gaze, Zhang Qiangjun walked towards the stairs and then ascended.
A moment later, Qin Hanchu arrived on the third floor.
The third floor was the office area and was not open to the public.
As soon as Qin Hanchu came up, he was stopped.
"The third floor is not open to the public. Please go downstairs to enjoy yourselves."
Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "I have something to discuss with your boss."
"Who are you? Do you have an appointment with our boss?"
"It's probably not too late to make an appointment now," Qin Hanchu replied.
The henchman sneered, "Our boss isn't someone everyone is qualified to meet."
Qin Hanchu suddenly attacked, grabbing the henchman by the neck.
The henchman looked at Qin Hanchu in shock.
As a ninth-grade martial artist, he hadn't even seen Qin Hanchu's movement.
With a casual flick, the henchman was thrown aside.
Qin Hanchu ignored the henchman and walked directly into the office.
Zhang Qiangjun's office was very large, with over ten subordinates guarding it.
This showed how much Zhang Qiangjun valued his own safety.
Seeing the stranger Qin Hanchu walk in, the guards immediately surrounded him.
"Boss, he actually dared to lay hands on me. He must have ill intentions towards you," the henchman from outside rushed in, pointing at Qin Hanchu and saying angrily.
Hearing this, the martial artists present all drew their weapons.
"Little brother, what grievance do we have that you would come here to die?" Zhang Qiangjun said leisurely, sitting on his chair.
Qin Hanchu chuckled, "We have no grievances. I came to talk about something."
"Let's hear it," Zhang Qiangjun said curiously.
Qin Hanchu walked over to a nearby sofa, sat down, and then said, "I heard you have an Elementalist backing you?"
Zhang Qiangjun nodded proudly, "Indeed."
"Arrange a time for me to meet him. I want to have a chat," Qin Hanchu said.
Zhang Qiangjun chuckled dismissively, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to meet Master Yang?"
Qin Hanchu flicked his hand, and a surge of icy power shot towards Zhang Qiangjun's fish tank.
Under everyone's astonished eyes, the fish tank instantly froze into ice.
The fish were still in their original positions!
An Ice Elementalist!
Everyone trembled in terror.
No one had expected Qin Hanchu to be an Elementalist.
To become an Elementalist at such a young age was truly terrifying.
Zhang Qiangjun's leisurely expression froze. He quickly stood up, saying in fear, "I apologize for my rudeness just now. Please forgive me."
"Tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, at the Boulder Mountain outside the city."
"Regarding what just happened, you'd best keep your mouths shut."
"Anyone who dares to speak a word of this will lose their life."
With that, Qin Hanchu stood up and walked out.
Zhang Qiangjun's legs trembled.
Even though he was at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, he had no right to be arrogant in front of an Elementalist.
After Qin Hanchu left, he immediately said, "Go to Master Yang's residence."
The group hurriedly left the nightclub and got into a car.
Half an hour later, the convoy stopped at a high-end residential complex.
Leaving his subordinates to guard outside, Zhang Qiangjun went to Master Yang's home alone.
He knocked on the door and stood respectfully at the entrance.
After a moment, a beautiful woman opened the door.
This woman was Master Yang's newly acquired girlfriend.
"Boss Zhang is here, come in." Although this woman was only an eighth-grade martial artist, she was the woman of an Elementalist, and thus had the right to look down on Zhang Qiangjun.
Zhang Qiangjun handed the box in his hand to the woman, smiling, "A gift for you."
The woman accepted it triumphantly and then led Zhang Qiangjun into the house.
Inside the room, an elderly man in his sixties was sitting on the sofa, eating fruit.
He asked curiously, "Why are you here so late? What is it?"
Zhang Qiangjun respectfully recounted Qin Hanchu's story.
"An Ice Elementalist in his early twenties?" Master Yang exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Qiangjun nodded, "Yes."
Master Yang was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Come pick me up tomorrow. I'll meet him."
"Master Yang, this person has asked you to meet outside the city. Could it be dangerous for you?" Zhang Qiangjun asked worriedly.
Master Yang chuckled dismissively, "It's not that easy to kill me."
"Master Yang is right."
"How could that kid be your match?" Zhang Qiangjun quickly flattered.
Master Yang waved his hand, "You can go back."
The next afternoon, Qin Hanchu rented an electric motorcycle and left the city.
An hour later, he arrived at Boulder Mountain.
Sitting on a large rock in Boulder Mountain, Qin Hanchu waited quietly.
A moment later, a luxury car stopped at the foot of Boulder Mountain.
Accompanied by Zhang Qiangjun, Master Yang approached Qin Hanchu.
Looking at Qin Hanchu, Master Yang smiled and said, "Little brother, it seems we've never met before, have we?"
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Yes, this is indeed our first meeting."
"May I ask what advice you have for me?" Master Yang, unsure of Qin Hanchu's background, spoke with a somewhat polite tone.
