Chapter 25: The Fourth Layer Mission

Su Chen walked back and forth in the crowd, although there were many jade slips in the fourth layer, there were also many disciples who selected tasks, and most of these disciples in the fourth layer of the Yuanhai Realm had extremely dignified faces when they looked at the jade slips, and they could often stop for a long time in front of a jade slip.

After looking for a long time, Su Chen finally saw a jade slip that happened to be looked at by no one.

Su Chen stretched out his hand and flirted with it, injecting a trace of vitality into the jade slip, and soon a short piece of information came into Su Chen's heart.

Mission Name: Ghost Cave (Joint Mission)

Acceptance conditions: This task is a joint task, so the recipient must be an official disciple of the sect, with a maximum of two. Cultivation must reach the fifth level of Yuanhai and above.

Objectives:

The first goal: to investigate the cause of the mysterious death of 200 villagers in Zhangjia Village, to investigate the existence of the ghost cave in the depths, and to determine the level and type of ghosts.

Second Objective: If the situation allows, try to resolve the ghosts in the event as much as possible.

Mission Description:

In the southern part of Tianxi Mansion in the Yuwang Domain (Upper Domain), there is an ancient mountain forest that stretches for thousands of miles, and the residents of the nearby city have always called this mountain forest a living burial place.

Zhangjia Village was originally just an ordinary village located deep in this mountain forest, with about 200 people in the village, mainly relying on hunting for a living, and it was difficult to survive.

Until one day, several villagers dug up some blood-stained gold in a cave not far from the village and brought it back to the village.

This made the poor people of Zhangjia Village fall into madness. Almost all the people in the village, from the elderly to the children, could not resist the temptation of greed, and ran to the cave where the gold was dug up and continued to dig inward, and as the digging deepened, more and more bloody gold was dug out.

The paper couldn't hold the fire, and soon the news of Zhangjiacun's discovery of a large amount of gold spread to the outside world. After hearing the news, the warriors in the nearby city immediately organized people to go into the mountain, and soon searched the deep cave not far from Zhangjia Village.

Due to the suppression of the warriors of the Mortal Realm, the people of Zhangjia Village, who were originally profiteers, were reduced to laborers, and could only help the outside forces to keep digging the cave, but what was frightening was that they soon dug a golden wall covered with blood and mud in the deepest part of this cave!

The villagers of Zhangjia Village and the warriors of the Mortal Realm could hardly shake this wall even if they used all their tools, and the warriors present had no choice but to send a message to the forces behind them.

Half a day later, a Gathering Yuan Realm martial artist from the outside world finally arrived, and with great strength, he blasted a big hole in the golden wall!

But at the moment when the golden wall broke, a stinking stream of blood gushed out from the big hole, completely tearing apart the golden wall that had once trapped it in an instant!

The people in the cave saw this terrible river of blood pouring into it, and knew that something was wrong, and they dug up something that should not be dug.

Almost all of them, including the warriors, hurriedly fled to the nearby village of Zhangjia, ready to discuss countermeasures.

After the outside forces learned about this, they sent a Juyuan Realm martial artist and dozens of Mortal Realm martial artists into the mountain overnight to follow up and support, but when these martial artists who came to support arrived in Zhangjia Village, they found that all the villagers and the original martial artists had disappeared strangely.

The warriors who came to their aid had no clue but to go to the cave where blood spewed during the day to find out, but in the end, what they saw was a nightmarish hell.

Hundreds of corpses knelt respectfully in the damp cavern, all with their heads facing the depths of the cavern. The blood in the information was long gone, leaving only deep blood stains on the walls of the cave.

The warriors who approached found that the blood of these corpses seemed to be drained from all over their bodies, like a group of dried corpses that had been dead for hundreds of years!

Just as everyone was about to take a closer look, the stinking blood water seemed to smell the breath of the living, and it spurted out from the deepest part of the cave again!

On the second day, only the Juyuan Realm martial artist came back with a bloody and blurred body, but the whole person was close to madness, relying on the last shred of reason, and intermittently told people about the tragedy that happened in the cave last night.

But soon, the blood in the warrior's body flowed out of his body uncontrollably, and after only half an hour, he turned into a dried corpse and bowed his head in the direction of the cave next to Zhangjia Village.

The upper domain-level force Yu Wangzong characterized the Zhangjiacun Ghost Cave incident as a joint mission and launched a joint application for the sect's mission to my Daochen Sect.

After the disciple who took the task arrived at the Yuwang Domain, he would serve as a joint leader and lead the disciples of the Yuwang Sect to solve the ghost cave incident together.

Quest Rewards:

Co-leader: 20,000 lower grade Yuan Crystals per person, three Haiyuan-level elixir ascending pills, and one Haiyuan-level spiritual material Lei Chen Fruit.

Note: If you decide to take this task, please take off the jade slip and register at the front desk in the mission hall on the first floor.

Su Chen was speechless for a long time with the jade slip, and he really couldn't accept the task span from the third layer to the fourth layer...

Asked me to suppress bandits in the front, will this let me destroy ghosts? Isn't it just to take a sect task, it's like telling ghost stories!

Su Chen silently put the jade slip in his hand back in its place, ready to look around again.

The fourth floor of this flat sky building is not small, but it is not big, Su Chen only walked for a short time when he saw Fang Hao lost his soul and stood firmly in front of a jade slip tied with a red rope.

"Brother Fang, are you okay?" After Su Chen approached, he saw Fang Hao's shoulders trembling slightly.

Fang Hao didn't answer, just raised his eyes, which were already a little red and swollen, and looked straight at Su Chen.

"Su Chen, have you ever hated this fate?"

"Fate?"

When Su Chen heard this, he couldn't help but recall what happened at his grandfather Su Xuan's birthday banquet.

Just one Yuan Hai of the Stygian Water Sect can overwhelm the whole city and be powerless to resist, and everyone can only act as spectators, and sometimes, the feeling of powerlessness that goes deep into the bone marrow can make people desperate.

"Brother Fang, although I don't know what happened to you, I also understand a little. ”

"That is, many times, instead of hating the injustice of fate, it is better to use your own strength that can transcend everything to trample this destiny under your feet!"

"If it is up to me to take my life, I can plant a golden lotus in the fire!"

Fang Hao was stunned, he really didn't expect that Su Chen, who looked like he was the same age, would be able to say such bold words without taking the destiny of heaven into account!

"My life is up to me... If I can have enough strength, all demons and ghosts will die! Fang Hao's face turned a little red with excitement, and the fanaticism in his eyes made Su Chen look a little frightened.

After a while, Su Chen saw that Fang Hao was gradually calming down, pointed to the jade slip in front of Fang Hao, and asked, "Brother Fang, do you mind if I take a look?"

"Yes, but please don't tell anyone, it's not a glorious thing after all. ”

"Okay. ”

Su Chen nodded, injected a trace of vitality into the jade slip, and quickly got a piece of mission information.

Mission Name: Human Head Lamp. (Team Task)

Pick-up conditions:

Team leader: Yuan Hai is a seven-fold cultivator and above, and must be an official disciple of the sect, with a maximum of one.

Team members: Miscellaneous disciples of Yuanhai Quadruple and above cultivation, with a maximum of nine.

Objectives:

The first goal: to investigate the cause of the appearance of powerful ghosts in the Fang family, and determine the level and type of ghosts.

Second Goal: If the situation allows, resolve the ghost as much as possible.

Mission Description:

Daochen Heavenly Domain, Jueling Mansion, Youyang City.

The Fang family was originally the first martial arts family in Youyang City, and there were five Yuanhai Realm martial artists in the clan, and there were countless Yuan Realm martial artists. The strongest one is Fang Yuanqing, the ancestor of the Fang family, and the Yuan Sea Seven Heavens are cultivated.

Not long ago, Fang Yuanqing's great-grandson Fang Ping was accepted as an official disciple by the Daochen Sect because he showed extraordinary qualifications at the Heavenly Mandate Ceremony in the Daochen Heavenly Domain.

The Fang family was overjoyed when they got the news, invited guests from all sides, and decided to feast the whole city that night!

Forced by the strength of the Fang family, not only Youyang City, but even the forces of several surrounding cities sent representatives to the banquet.

That night, Fang's house was brightly lit, and the drum music was noisy and lively.

The chatty host and guests, the passionate dancers and musicians, the servants and maids pouring tea and wine, almost everyone present has indulged in this feast of sheng songs.

At a certain moment, everything changed.

A maid who poured wine to a guest shuddered, her eyes rolled up, and a bright red line of blood appeared on her tender neck.

The next moment, a young head separated from its body, as if supported by a pair of invisible hands, slowly floating.

There was no blood sprayed everywhere, no corpses falling to the ground and convulsing, only smooth cuts on the neck, and only bodies still pouring wine for guests.

The head that flew higher and higher changed, and the originally young and beautiful face had long since disappeared. The blood, fat, and even the eyeballs were rapidly dissolving, and finally gathered into a blood-red human oil candle in the woman's wide open mouth.

As for the woman's head, there were only skin and bones and two dark eye holes left, staring at the world deadly.

The human oil candle burned, lingering with a faint white fire, and the woman's head floated and wandered in the hall of the Fang family's feast.

The horror soon spread.

One...

Two...

Ten...

One hundred ...

More and more people are raising their headlights, wandering aimlessly, silently cheering and jumping.

In the deepest part of the main hall, several terrifying fluctuations of vitality soon came, as if a martial arts powerhouse was fighting for his life against an invisible but deadly strangeness.

This night is the end of the Fang family. At the same time, I don't know when, a thick gray fog will also quietly envelop the Fang family...

Fang Yuanqing, the ancestor of the Fang family, tried everything and finally forcibly sent his great-grandson Fang Ping out of the Fang family, which had become the source of terror. But in order to send Fang Ping out, the boundless death qi had already eroded nearly half of his Fang Yuanqing's body.

At this moment, a beautiful and slender woman's arm poked out of the gray mist and gently pinched the back of the Fang family ancestor's neck. The ancestor of the Fang family, who was originally the seventh of the Yuan Sea, was pulled back into the gray mist by this hand at this moment without any resistance.

Half an hour later, the gray fog that enveloped the Fang family dissipated, and countless human head lamps floated back and forth in the sky above the Fang family, while those headless corpses were still enjoying their unfinished feast.

Everything would disappear when the morning sun rose, but during this period, none of the martial artists who entered the Fang family to investigate came out again.

Only in the evening, when the feast is opened again, will there be an extra headlamp belonging to them in the sky above the Fang family, silently watching this feast in the brilliant lights.
