The Bai Clan actually wanted to assassinate Xiao Chen, which was simply courting death. As soon as he finished speaking, He Tao rejected without hesitation, "Impossible, I will not issue such a mission. I also advise the Bai Clan to give up on this idea, otherwise the Bai Clan will not be able to bear the consequences."
He Tao was not a fool to participate in the assassination of Bai Clan's Xiao Chen. Naturally, he would not agree.
Bai Mushuang was not surprised when he heard He Tao's words. He seemed to have expected He Tao to answer like this. The corner of his mouth revealed a sneer. This sneer seemed a little crazy. He Tao couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Master He, my Bai Clan only needs you to arrange a mission for Xiao Chen. As for the rest, you don't need to show up. Even if they investigate, they won't be able to trace it back to you. Moreover, with our relationship, Master He is so heartless. This is a little hurtful. At that time, it's hard to guarantee that those things won't fall into the hands of Punishment Hall's Qin Guang. With Qin Guang's character, Master He should know what it means if those things fall into his hands."
In order to take revenge, Bai Mushuang could be said to have thrown caution to the wind. He even did not hesitate to threaten He Tao. As for the Qin Guang mentioned by Bai Mushuang, he was really the master of Punishment Hall of Heavenly Yin Yang Sect.
Although he was also a Half-step Great Sage like He Tao, He Tao was far from being Qin Guang's opponent in terms of personal strength and authority. The gap between the two was not small.
Hearing Bai Mushuang's words, He Tao's face immediately sank. He shouted coldly. "Bai Mushuang, are you threatening me?"
"Master He misunderstood. How dare I threaten you? I just need a small favor from Master He. I hope Master He won't refuse." Bai Mushuang smiled ferociously when he heard He Tao's words.
All He Tao needed to do was to arrange a mission for Xiao Chen. As for the rest, he didn't need to do it.
The missions of Heavenly Yin Yang Sect were divided into two categories. One was the mission that one had to take the initiative to accept, and the other was the compulsory mission.
It was easy to understand the free mission that one took the initiative to accept. It was free to choose. There was no coercion. After completing the mission, the disciple would get the corresponding reward.
As for the second type of compulsory missions, to put it bluntly, they were some special missions that had to be completed by the designated personnel of the Mission Hall. Once such a mission was issued, under normal circumstances, the disciples would not be able to refuse.
For example, if the difficulty of a mission exceeded the scope of an ordinary disciple, the Mission Hall would categorize it as a compulsory mission, and it required the Holy Disciples of the Holy Rankings to take action. In that case, regardless of whether they found Xiao Chen or Yun Kunyao, both of them would have to accept this mission.
As Bai Mushuang had said, given He Tao's status, it was not strange for him to arrange a compulsory mission for Xiao Chen.
Of course, even if that was the case, He Tao did not want to agree to Bai Mushuang's request. The reason was that it was very dangerous. If it was an ordinary disciple, He Tao would definitely not hesitate or worry. However, his target was Xiao Chen.
He knew very well that if Xiao Chen died, the matter would definitely not end well. The upper echelons of the Heavenly Yin Yang Sect, whether it was Yin-yangzi or Qin Guang of the Punishment Hall, would definitely investigate to the end. At that time, if they found any clues, He Tao would definitely be dead.
However, He Tao did not seem to have any other choice. If he did not agree to Bai Mushuang's request, he would definitely die once the Bai Family's things fell into Qin Guang's hands.
If he helped, he might be able to escape by luck. However, if he did not help, it would only be a life and death struggle.
It wasn't that he didn't think of killing Bai Mushuang on the spot. But what was the use of killing Bai Mushuang? Those things obviously wouldn't be with Bai Mushuang. And once Bai Mushuang died, someone from the Bai Family would naturally hand those things over to Qin Guang.
There was no other choice. After pondering for a long time, He Tao finally said coldly, "Fine, I can help you. However, this is the last time. After this matter, those things must be handed over to me. From then on, I will no longer have any relationship with the Bai Family."
In the end, He Tao chose to agree. However, he also stated his own conditions. Those things could not be in the Bai Family's hands. Otherwise, he would be threatened by the Bai Family for the rest of his life.
He Tao had even decided that as long as the Bai Family handed those things over to him, he would find an opportunity to destroy the entire Bai Family. Only dead people could keep secrets the best.
Hearing He Tao's words, Bai Mushuang did not hesitate. He immediately smiled and nodded. "Deal. May I know when Lord He can arrange it?"
"Just wait for my news." Hearing this, He Tao coldly replied. Immediately, he disappeared from the spot.
Tonight's meeting made He Tao very unhappy. However, he had no choice but to follow Bai Mushuang's request. Fortunately, he only needed to arrange a compulsory mission for Xiao Chen. As for the rest, he would leave it to the Bai Family to deal with. He did not need to intervene at all, nor did he need to be involved in anything.
No one knew about the secret meeting between He Tao and Bai Mushuang. Three days had passed since that night. On this evening, Xiao Chen had just finished a day of cultivation. He was chatting with Qin Shuirou and the other three girls in the garden. However, at this moment, Fei Mei walked in and bowed to everyone.
"Young master, the people from the Mission Hall are here. They said that there is a compulsory mission that only the Chosen on the Saint List can accept. The Mission Hall has chosen young master."
Compulsory mission? Hearing Fei Mei's words, Xiao Chen's expression did not change much. He asked indifferently, "Where is he?"
"In the front hall." Fei Mei replied.
It was normal for people from the Mission Hall to come. However, Xiao Chen did not realize that this seemingly ordinary compulsory mission was actually hiding something.
Under Fei Mei's lead, Xiao Chen came to the front hall. Here, Xiao Chen saw a deacon from the Mission Hall. When he saw Xiao Chen, the deacon bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Chosen Xiao Chen."
As a Chosen on the Saint List, Xiao Chen's status was naturally not something a small deacon could compare with. Therefore, in front of Xiao Chen, the deacon was very respectful.
Of course, the deacon obviously did not know that the compulsory mission in his hand was actually a trap set to kill Xiao Chen.
Early in the morning, he received an order from He Tao saying that there was a mission that only the Chosen on the Saint List could complete. Since Yun Kunyao did not have the time, he could only force Xiao Chen to handle it.
The deacon did not have the slightest suspicion. After all, such matters were not uncommon in the Mission Hall. Therefore, after receiving the mission, the deacon did not look at the mission's content and directly went to Xiao Chen's cave dwelling.
