Chapter XXXV: Mandatory Tasks

On this day, a guest came to Zhan Chen's house, who was the martial arts senior brother of the Lilian Hall.

After the two of them finished saluting, they sat down in the living room, Zhan Chen looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Senior brother is here, but what is the matter?"

The martial artist said, "Senior brother, you have been selected to participate in the compulsory mission within the sect for half a year. ”

"What do you mean by a mandatory mission?" Zhan Chen was puzzled.

"The so-called compulsory task is a task that every inner disciple must be compulsorily involved in, and it cannot be shirked. ”

"Oh?"

"Let me explain it to you, you know that the normal operation of the sect requires a lot of personnel, for example, our experience hall, martial arts pavilion, and pill pavilion all have senior brothers on duty, you know this, right?"

Zhan Chen nodded.

"Yes, these are the senior brothers of our inner sect who participate in the compulsory mission, who doesn't want to stay in the cultivation tower and cultivate in their own small courtyard? Who doesn't want to do the training task to earn a lot of merit points? But in this way, no one will manage the affairs of our sect. ”

"Therefore, our sect master has set a rule that every once in a while, we must select a part of the inner disciples who have not gone out to practice or perform tasks to participate in the management of the sect, these tasks cannot be dismissed casually, and this is the so-called compulsory task. ”

"I see. Zhan Chen muttered, to be honest, he didn't want to participate in any compulsory tasks, and now he was only one step away from breaking through the middle level of martial arts.

Seeing his unhappy look, the martial artist couldn't help but persuade: "Senior brother, you have to participate anyway, and as long as you participate this time, you won't be selected again next time." ”

What else could Zhan Chen say? He had no choice but to nod helplessly, and asked again: "Dare to ask Senior Brother, what is the content of my mission this time, and where is the location?"

"Brother, your luck this time is a little bad, and you have won a place of right and wrong. The martial artist's face suddenly became serious.

"Where the hell is it?" Zhan Chen became more and more curious.

"It's Huangyan Gang. ”

"What kind of place is that?" Zhan Chen, who usually only knew about cultivation, obviously didn't understand this place at all.

"Huangyangang is the farthest from our sect, close to the boundary of the Huanggang sect, where there is a small yuan stone mine, which is one of the most important sources of money for our sect, and it is a place where soldiers must fight. ”

"As you can imagine, the Huanggang faction must also want to get this Yuanshi mine very much, so there have been many conflicts with our sect over the ownership of this mine, and they often send people to our mine to harass and loot, so it is not a peaceful place. ”

"And I heard that this Yuanshi mine itself is full of dangers, and there are powerful demon beasts lurking in the depths of the cave, so there is it. Every year, some brothers are killed and wounded. ”

Zhan Chen heard the martial artist say this, and he had an understanding of the general situation of Huangyan Gang, and secretly scolded in his heart: "Damn, who arranged this ghost place!" Suddenly, he suddenly thought that the elder sitting in the experience hall was Lan Hong!

"Hehe, but junior brother, you don't have to worry, because Huangyangang is guarded by our sect's Elder Pei Yanxue, and his cultivation can reach the Great Perfection of Wuzun, and besides, you have another 19 people as companions, as long as you are careful everywhere, you can still be in danger." ”

Zhan Chen couldn't help but sneer: "How would this martial artist know, I'm afraid that this mission was set by Lan Hong's old thing, and I have to obediently get into it, so this mission will not be thrilling or dangerous, but it may be a life of nine deaths." ”

"And this task can get the most merit points, a full 300,000, think about it, where can you earn 300,000 merit points?"

"Is this the only benefit?" Zhan Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Remember, three days later, at seven o'clock in the morning, they will gather at the gate of the sect. ”

"Senior brother, walk slowly. ”

After sending off the martial artist, Zhan Chen returned to the cultivation room and sat down, somehow, he was particularly worried in his chest, he always felt that he was afraid that something big would happen on this trip.

......

This is an extremely beautiful mountain, different from other peaks, here are full of flowers, peach and plum garden, in this picturesque scenery, there is a beautiful courtyard, the lintel is written with three bright red characters "Yunxia Palace".

This is the courtyard where Tian Jiaojiao, the famous Taishang Elder of the Golden Elephant Sect, is located, and his cultivation has reached the level of the first rank of the Martial King, and his status is second only to the sect master Li Jianshu and his wife Mei Yan.

In a pavilion in the courtyard, Tian Jiaojiao and Su Yun were sitting facing each other. I heard Tian Jiaojiao blame Su Yun and said, "Su Yun, you should be serious, do you know how lucky you are to worship under my disciples? I won't even accept elite disciples." ”

Su Yun stuck out her tongue at Tian Jiaojiao and smiled: "Auntie, why are you so serious? Haven't I worked very hard? In the past two years, I have also reached the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Martial Arts according to your requirements." ”

Tian Jiaojiao looked at her innocent appearance, shook her head and sighed, "Su Yun, do you want to call the master here?"

Su Yun winked mischievously at her and smiled, "Yes, master!"

Tian Jiaojiao looked at this innocent niece and sighed, if it was about cultivation talent, she really didn't have anything to say, but if it was about conspiracy and calculation, fighting and fighting, Su Yun basically belonged to the Xiaobai level. She is like a flower cultivated in a greenhouse, which has not been tested by wind and frost, and if she continues like this, something will go wrong sooner or later.

So Tian Jiaojiao finally relented and said, "Su Yun, your cultivation has also been reached, it's time to go out and practice." ”

Su Yun was stunned and said, "Where are you going?"

"You just go to Huangyangang, this time the sect has issued a mandatory task, and it just so happens that you haven't gone out to practice in the past two years. ”

"Oh, got it. Su Yun responded listlessly, obviously not very interested in this task.

Tian Jiaojiao sighed hard: "Anyway, if you don't want to go this time, you have to go, I'll sign you up!"

At this time, Su Yun said another word of bad scenery: "Auntie, the spiritual flowers and spiritual grass in my yard, please find someone to help me take care of it." ”

Tian Jiaojiao was so angry that she almost fainted, glared at her for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence too hard: "I know!"

Three days later, Zhan Chen rushed to the mountain gate, and saw a group of martial artists standing there at a glance, and also saw a familiar figure - Su Yun!

Seeing Su Yun, Zhan Chen was overjoyed for no reason, and suddenly he didn't reject this mandatory mission so much, and greeted Su Yun from afar: "Senior Sister Su Yun!"

"Junior Brother Zhan Chen, it's you, how could it be so coincidental!" Su Yun saw Zhan Chen and beckoned to him happily, the two of them can be regarded as good friends now.

This scene envied the other male compatriots in the team, and they cast jealous glances at Zhan Chen one by one.

Zhan Chen ignored this, walked up to Su Yun, and started talking to her.

After a while, people came, a total of 20 people, 16 men and 4 women, all of whom were martial artists or above, and they were quite imposing when they gathered together.

At this time, a person came out of the team, walked to the front and said to everyone: "Everyone be quiet, let me introduce myself first, I am the leader of your Huangyan Gang garrison mission this time - Huang Yue." ”

Zhan Chen couldn't help but be surprised, this Huang Yue's eyes were determined, his momentum was like a mountain, he was a master at a glance, and his cultivation was probably already at the realm of the Great Perfection of Martial Arts, and his strength should not be underestimated.

I heard him say again: "This mission is extremely dangerous, I hope that if you have any previous grudges, you must let go of your past suspicions and cooperate sincerely, only in this way can we guard the important land of Huangyangang and not disgrace the name of my Golden Elephant Sect, are you clear?"

"Clear!" replied in unison.

"Okay, let's go now, Huangyangang is a long way, even with the strength of our martial artists, it will take more than half a month's journey, everyone has to take care of each other on the road. ”

After Huang Yue finished speaking, he turned around and led the way in front, and everyone followed his footsteps and marched in the direction of Huangyangang.
