Yuan Chonghui's task came down soon, and the task was very simple, that is, an outer disciple of the Chess Dao Academy had disappeared inexplicably, and the Chess Dao Academy decided to send a chair to lead some new disciples to investigate the situation, first, to find out the reason for the disappearance of the outer disciple, and second, to exercise and sharpen these newly admitted Daoists.

Yuan Chonghui took the task jade slip and frowned, because the place where this outer disciple disappeared was in Heming Mountain in the north of Tai'a City, not far from the Ming Dao Sect, it is said that this is already the sphere of influence of the Ming Dao Sect, and ordinary people do not dare to do it easily, could it be that there is something strange in it? He remembered that the invisible person who appeared inexplicably when he was cultivating indoors, and felt that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Yuan Chonghui was worried in his heart, so he made some careful preparations for this. As the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. In case something unforeseen happens, if there are three longs and two shorts, it will be more than worth the loss! At the same time, he also secretly instructed the Taoist students in the same class to be prepared in case of accidents.

Yuan Chonghui, who had made preparations early, came to the front of the martial arts cultivation field one step in advance, waiting to meet with the other Daoists. At this time, before the other Dao students came, Yuan Chonghui sat cross-legged on the martial arts cultivation field, waiting quietly, while perceiving and familiarizing himself with the laws of starlight's qi in the sea of knowledge.

It didn't take long for the other Dao students to come to the martial arts cultivation field with a smile, after all, this was the first time they had gone out for foreign affairs since they officially entered the outer sect of the Ming Dao Sect, and everyone was both apprehensive and excited in their hearts. When they saw Yuan Chonghui, they hurriedly came up to greet him.

Soon, the chair who led them out on a mission also came, but it was not the Chensheng chair, but it was the chair of another class, called Wu Yuan.

As soon as everyone saw that the chair was coming, they hurriedly gathered around. Chair Wuyuan counted the number of people, just enough, so he said to the group of Taoist students: "This outing mission was supposed to be led by Chair Chensheng, but there is a temporary urgent task that needs him to handle it, so I will lead everyone to complete this mission, I hope everyone will obey the command and must not act without authorization!" Everyone agreed.

Chair Wuyuan asked again, "Who is Yuan Chonghui?"

Yuan Chonghui hurriedly stepped forward: "Disciple, what are the commands of the martial arts chair?"

Chair Wuyuan looked Yuan Chonghui up and down, nodded, and said, "I heard that Chair Chensheng said that you are his chief disciple and have a high prestige among Daoists, and I hope you will lead everyone to actively cooperate and successfully complete this mission!"

"Yes!" Yuan Chonghui replied loudly.

"Then let me go!" With a wave of his hand, the Wuyuan Sect led more than twenty people, which can be regarded as a large team, and galloped towards the direction of Tai'a City. Since learning to turn the stars, everyone's walking speed is more than ten times faster than before, although it is not that the feet do not touch the ground, but it is far more than the general light body technique. As for making spaceship magic weapons, one is not qualified, and the other is that the distance is not far, so there is no need.

When everyone came to Tai'a City, the city lord Cheng Xiang had already received the message, and personally led his subordinates to greet him outside the city to express his respect for the Ming Dao Sect.

After seeing the ceremony, Cheng Xiang City Lord smiled and said to the Wuyuan Sect Chair: "Martial Immortal Chief, I have already prepared a little thin wine in the City Lord's Mansion below, and I also invite all the Immortal Elders to appreciate their faces to the banquet!"

Chair Wuyuan pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, let's talk while eating!"

Cheng Xiang City Lord set up five large tables in the City Lord's Mansion to entertain the people of the Ming Dao Sect, and the local celebrities of Tai'a City also participated in the banquet. During the banquet, there were all kinds of toasts, and even Yuan Chonghui and other Taoist students drank a lot, and their tongues were a little big. Yuan Chonghui has gone through his previous life, is familiar with the routines, and he also copes with it appropriately, drinking a few drinks less than the other brothers and sisters, and his mind is quite clear.

I only heard that after three rounds of drinking, the Wuyuan Sect asked Cheng Xiang City Lord: "Cheng City Lord, have there been any suspicious cultivators in Tai'a City recently?"

Cheng Xiang City Lord patted his head: "Oh, I drank so happily that I forgot to report important information to the Immortal Chief for a while! Recently, Tai'a City is indeed a little abnormal, the number of monks entering and leaving Tai'a City is more than 3 times more than usual, and all of them behave very strangely, you say, there are no treasures in Tai'a City, and there is no large-scale auction to be held, but why are so many monks suddenly here?" However, these monks did not act out of the ordinary, and most of them acted in a hurry, so it was difficult for our guards in Tai'a City to take rash actions, so they could only be secretly and vigilant. ”

"Oh, I see!" Sect Chair Wuyuan nodded, "If something happens, I hope that the City Lord Cheng will report to us immediately!"

Cheng Xiang City Lord nodded hurriedly: "Definitely!

After eating and feasting, Cheng Xiangcheng mainly arranged for everyone to rest in the City Lord's Mansion, but was rejected by the Wuyuan Sect on the grounds that there was still something to do.

Chair Wuyuan led everyone to rest temporarily in a relatively remote inn, and asked the store guys to boil sobering soup for everyone to drink. After everyone woke up, they felt very ashamed of being drunk, although as a monk, drinking a little wine did not hinder their practice, but it still had some impact on the control of spells.

Instead of blaming everyone, Chair Wuyuan ordered to rest immediately and wait for the order to take the next move. Then Chair Wuyuan quietly called Yuan Chonghui over alone and asked, "Senior Nephew Yuan, I heard that Chair Chensheng has always admired and valued you, what do you think about this matter?"

Yuan Chonghui pondered for a moment: "There is nothing wrong on the surface, it seems to be very normal." But what I don't understand is that since there are so many monks in Tai'a City at once, why didn't Cheng City Lord send someone to report to the Ming Dao Sect earlier, instead of waiting for him to say it when you ask?

Chair Wuyuan nodded approvingly: "Senior Nephew Yuan is really observant, and can see the abnormal situation from the undoubted doubts. That's why I didn't restrain you from drinking, so as not to make people see anything out of the ordinary. To tell you the truth, this time it was an elder from the Qi Dao Academy who was in charge of information work, not an outer disciple who claimed to be in charge of information work. ”

Yuan Chonghui was taken aback when he heard this: "Martial Sect Chair, the disappearance of a senior monk at the elder level, is it something that we, the outer disciples, can be involved in?"

Immediately, he suddenly realized: "Could it be that we are the bait to fish out the mastermind behind this matter?" As soon as the words came out, but his face turned black, didn't he come to die, is the bait so easy to be?

Sect Wuyuan nodded: "Yes, we came here this time to be a bait, but don't worry, we will never let everyone come to die! Soon there will be strong backup to support us! The reason why we did this is that the sect has a far-sighted strategy and a comprehensive consideration and hard work." Not long ago, there was a great ability to observe the celestial phenomena, calculate the heavenly machine, and predict that there will soon be a change in the world, and now the entire spiritual ruins, including the heavenly desolate land, are a bit of a stormy taste, so a little earlier to make a contingency strategy may be the first to take the lead, the so-called everything is foreseen and not foreseen, this is the truth. However, there are different opinions on how to make a response strategy. As a five-star sect, the strength of the Ming Dao Sect is limited, and it may be difficult to protect itself in the midst of ups and downs. Therefore, time is not waiting, for the rise and fall of the Ming Dao Sect, we cannot act step by step, we can only be more radical, and by assigning various dangerous tasks, we can discover and cultivate potential disciples as soon as possible, so that these disciples can stand out as soon as possible, and they can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the sect in the near future. Our action this time is also the task of examining the disciples. So on the one hand, you have to be very careful not to act rashly, but on the other hand, you have to be improvised, you have to deal with things properly, and you don't stick to the rules and follow the rules. ”

After Yuan Chonghui knew the purpose of this trip and the major crisis, his heart was very uneasy, he understood the truth in this, the so-called "the vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero, and the vicissitudes of the world are more capable of the demeanor", but he was skeptical about the strong support that the Wuyuan Sect said, "How much strength can such a five-star sect as the Ming Dao Sect have? Unless it is Elder Sima Jiao who personally comes out, don't mention the word "strong!"

Following Elder Mo out to see the world, his vision is not comparable to the past, and he naturally knows the current strength of the Ming Dao Sect, so he is very angry about it, but the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to be done, he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and he can only listen to the words of the Wuyuan Chair, but he has a new understanding of the Wuyuan Chair himself, and he is a wise man who is good at strategy, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary Chairs.

...... ......

In the depths of Heming Mountain, a group of black-clothed people were lying in ambush in the depths of the woods, and suddenly a young man in a white robe with an extraordinary aura flew over with two servants, but the slightly frivolous eyes on his face made it a lot less colorful. This group of black-clothed people in ambush were very dissatisfied, "We are ambushing here, but you are swaggering and flying here, and you are ambushing a fart!"

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but due to the special identity of the person who came, the leader still hurried up to greet him: "Pray for less!"

The white-robed young man named Qi Shao waved his hand aggressively: "Captain Lu, what's going on here?"

His voice rose slightly when he pronounced it, and it sounded like "Captain Donkey", which made Captain Lu even more resentful, but on the surface, he had to be careful with flattery: "Pray for less, there is no movement at all now, it seems that the monks of the Ming Dao Sect will not come today!"

"You know a!" Qi Shao said arrogantly, "According to reliable information, the Ming Dao Sect has already entered Tai'a City under the leadership of a sect chair and twenty rookies who have just entered the city, and I am afraid that they will soon come to Heming Mountain. When the time comes, you and your brother must cheer up and go all out to take down all the people who come!" he commanded, as if he were the leader of this mission.

Captain Lu's heart was dark, "What's the spirit, it's not that you have a great brother who is pretentious and empty-eyed!" But you still have to flatter on the outside, "If you pray for less, you will definitely be able to let everyone from the Mingdao Sect who came to you catch them all!"

"Okay, you can work hard first, lead the brothers to ambush well, I'll go over there to rest for a while, and when someone comes, notify me again!" The corners of Qi Shao's mouth rose, and he led the two servants to swagger towards the jungle behind.

After a while, the aroma of spirit wine and spirit meat wafted over the jungle. The black-clothed men in ambush trembled when they smelled the aroma. One of the black-clothed men swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to Captain Lu: "Boss, we are working hard to ambush here, but that guy is eating and drinking spicy food on the side, this is shaking the heart of the army!"

Captain Lu also scolded his mother in his heart, where is this guy here to complete the task, he is clearly here to make trouble! But he is a little helpless, the envoy is not there, and his own little commander is not looked down upon. He had no choice but to comfort: "Tell the brothers, do a good ambush, and when you complete the task, I will pay for the brothers!"

...... ......

After everyone had all sobered up and had all their spirits and spirits sufficient, the Wuyuan Sect led everyone to quietly march towards Heming Mountain, after all, the elders of the Ming Dao Sect had disappeared in Heming Mountain, and it was still necessary to visit on the spot.

100 meters away from the place of disappearance, the Wuyuan Sect stopped everyone's footsteps, and Yuan Chonghui also felt that it was inappropriate, because the terrain in front of him was too narrow, there was only a narrow passage, the peaks on both sides were towering, the cold trees were thick, and from time to time there was the cry of an ape, which made people feel a little chilly, and what made him feel even more confused was that there was no trace of mana fighting in front of him, as if nothing had happened.

Although cultivators are not afraid of ghosts, the strange scene in front of him can't help but keep him vigilant. Yuan Chonghui approached the Wuyuan chair and asked, "Martial arts chair, our personnel are missing here?"

"According to the information sent back by the missing person at the last moment, there is no doubt that it is here! You let the other disciples stay put, you and I will go to the front to have a look!" The Wuyuan Sect instructed Yuan Chonghui with a solemn face.

The two walked to the bottom of the towering peak, Yuan Chonghui suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out: "Martial Arts Chair, what if the news is fake?"

"That means there's an ambush here!" Chair Wuyuan replied without thinking, as soon as the words came out, he immediately reacted, changed his face and stretched out his hand to pull Yuan Chonghui and said, "Hurry up, there is really an ambush here!"

said that the time was in a hurry, and Captain Lu and the others in black had already appeared on the top of the mountain, "Since you are here and want to leave, then stay!"

Qi Shao and his servants appeared on another mountain peak, holding the unfinished chicken leg in one hand, and smiled at Captain Lu: "Captain Lu, I'm right! Later, you will lead your men to capture the leading chair, and the rest of the cubs will be captured by my people!"

When Captain Lu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and secretly scolded Qi Shao for being too shameless, letting others gnaw on hard bones, and picking up soft persimmons and pinching them himself, and finally taking a big share of the credit. He doesn't pay attention to Yuan Chonghui and these Taoist students at all, and his goal is mainly to lead the teaching chair.

He didn't say anything, and with a wave of his hand, he led the man in black to float down from the mountain peak, pulled out his sharp blade, and rushed straight towards the two Wuyuan chairs.

The Wuyuan chair pushed Yuan Chonghui: "You hurry up and retreat with the Daoists, I will snipe these people for a while, and there will be support soon!" After speaking, he took out a signal flare and flicked it into the sky with his hand, and dazzling blue sparks bloomed in the sky.

Yuan Chonghui knows his ability, and staying here is also a burden, so it is better to quickly lead people to run away, and also make the Wuyuan chair less involved. So he turned around and ran.

"Stinky boy, run there!" a young man in a white robe appeared in front of him and stretched out his hand to intercept him.

The corners of the white-robed young man's mouth showed a playful smile: "With my Young Master Qi here, do you still want to run?"

As he spoke, he threw out a strange-shaped weapon in his hand, opened the floor, stretched out five grippers and grabbed Yuan Chonghui, and a huge attraction shrouded Yuan Chonghui.

Yuan Chonghui was facing the moment of life and death, where did he dare to be careless, he quickly took out a vajra talisman from the storage ring, and walked towards the strange-shaped weapon, the two collided, making a snapping sound, and finally stopped the grasping power of the strange-shaped weapon. This is also Yuan Chonghui's full preparation, and he paid a lot of money to buy a lot of spirit runes in the Treasure Pavilion of the sect, just in case, just in case, it happened to be used at this time.

Yuan Chonghui wiped the cold sweat on his brow with his hand, and peeked into the air, only to see that the Wuyuan Sect was casting a spell to fight with the other party, which was worthy of the leader Captain Lu and a few black-clothed people, but he was also entangled by the other party, and he couldn't get out of his body for a while, and he had no time to take care of anything else. The other black-clothed men rushed towards the Ming Dao Sect and the Dao students a hundred and ten meters away with sharp blades in their hands, intending to catch them all.
