Even if he knew he was no match for Su Yu, he had to think of a way to kill Li Hao!
However, at that moment.
Dang —
The urgent and sudden sound of the bell echoed throughout the faction.
Whoosh —
In the External Affairs Division, Xi Ruolan flew towards the source of the bell with a serious expression.
Li Hao's cold smile froze, his eyes filled with shock. A serious and vexed expression appeared on his face, and he glared at Su Yu fiercely. "Consider yourself lucky!"
He left in a hurry, not bothering with Su Yu!
Su Yu's expression changed. For Xi Ruolan and Li Hao to be so flustered, it must be something major.
Dang —
The second sound of the bell sounded, more urgent than before.
With Su Yu's enhanced vision, he could see countless terrifying auras emerging from the Inner Sanctum, gathering at the location of the bell.
Even though he did not know what was happening, Su Yu did not dare delay and flew over.
The sound of the bell came from an extremely wide hall. In the hall, there was a large golden bell, gently vibrating.
There were many people gathered by the sound. At a glance, there were hundreds of people, all Inner Sanctum disciples, all of them Fourth Level Holy King and above!
In front of the large golden bell, there was an old man with an unfathomable cultivation base.
He stood still with his eyes closed, giving off a fearful feeling.
The scene of a hundred people was completely silent. Even those who had entered to talk immediately shut up upon noticing his presence.
Xi Ruolan wore a respectful expression, standing in front of the bell, not daring to act rashly.
The old man in front of them was the highly respected Third Elder, in charge of issuing missions in the faction.
After a while, no one else entered. The Third Elder opened his old eyes. They were clearly elderly eyes, but they were unusually dazzling.
"The ringing of the Liuxian Bell this time was due to an emergency situation, issuing an emergency mission." The Third Elder calmly said.
The people below the stage could not help but whisper to each other.
"The last emergency mission was last year, right? The invasion of other factions alerted the Faction Master, and the disciples who returned from the mission were rewarded by the Faction Master. "
"I've heard of it too. Two newcomers were highly regarded by the faction and are now core disciples of the faction, receiving endless resources. I'm so envious."
"What's there to be envious about? In that battle, the two of them killed the enemy leader and were rewarded, displaying their loyalty to the faction. It is only right for them to be heavily nurtured. "
Su Yu was tempted!
If he wanted to participate in the Ancient Xianyun Temple, there were two problems.
First, enter the top hundred of the sect!
Second, he must obtain the sect's loyalty and recognition!
Such a temporary mission was a shortcut to gaining the loyalty of the sect. It was something that could only be discovered and not sought!
This opportunity must be grasped!
Xianer's Phoenix of Death was gradually descending, and her life was in danger. Su Yu had to find the Phoenix Blood Elixir. If not … he could only watch as she died, or give her to Cao Xuan to ruin.
Now that he had the chance, he would never give it up!
However, there were many people like Su Yu who saw an opportunity.
Urgent missions were extremely rare.
The Third Elder gently clapped his hands, and a young man in his thirties walked out from the back of the hall, his body covered in blood and wounds, as if he had narrowly escaped death.
On his chest, there was a terrifying claw mark that had almost penetrated half of his chest. It was a frightening sight.
"Let him explain the situation," Third Elder said indifferently.
The thirty-year-old had a resolute expression. Although his injuries were painful, his expression did not change. He spat out a powerful voice, "My name is Wu Qingzhou. I am a disciple stationed outside the Abyss of Wutong. I am responsible for escorting the treasures excavated from the Abyss of Wutong back to the Sect."
"However, we were ambushed midway! Five members, other than me who managed to escape, the rest were all killed! "Wu Qingzhou's resolute face flashed a trace of sorrow," My younger brother also sacrificed himself! "
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Wu Qingzhou was a Fourth Level Peak Holy King, yet he managed to escape with his life. What kind of terrifying enemy did he encounter?
Third Elder slowly said, "Four people were sacrificed. Three of them were Fourth Level Peak Holy Kings, and one was a Fifth Level Holy King elder. This is a loss that our Liuxian Faction has never suffered in recent years. It is also a disgrace to the Liuxian Faction!"
"Therefore, the urgent mission is to apprehend the murderers who attacked them!" Third Elder's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Our Liuxian Faction has been silent for too long. It is time to teach some rascals a bloody lesson!"
Third Elder's beard and hair stood on end, his face full of anger, "Now, I will issue this mission. We need six people to apprehend and kill all the murderers!"
"Killing the Fourth Level Lower Tier Holy King murderers will earn you five honor points, killing the Fourth Level Upper Tier Holy King murderers will earn you ten honor points, killing the Fourth Level Peak Holy King murderers will earn you twenty honor points, and killing the Fifth Level Holy King murderers will earn you a hundred honor points!"
"If you capture them alive, the honor points will be doubled!"
The audience was instantly in an uproar!
"Hiss ~ ~ What a terrifying reward! One honor point can be exchanged for a medium grade marrow cleansing elixir. Killing a Fourth Level Lower Tier Holy King is equivalent to getting five medium grade marrow cleansing elixirs! "
"Oh my god, I worked hard for a year last year, performing various missions, and only managed to gather ten honor points after much difficulty. Today's urgent mission actually has such a terrifying reward? If I gather a hundred honor points, won't I get a legendary top grade marrow cleansing elixir? "
The extremely high reward caused hundreds of disciples to be in an uproar.
However, no matter how excited they were, not a single person dared to register!
Because everyone could tell that the Elder did not say how many enemies there were. Because he did not know how many murderers there were!
Even the Fifth Level Holy King murderers did not know if there was only one.
Wu Qingzhou had escaped in a panic, so it was difficult for him to say how many experts the team had been besieged.
The real purpose of forming the team of six was not to capture or kill the enemies, but … to test the exact number and strength of the enemies!
It was likely that the group of six would never return. Only a few would be able to return alive.
"The condition for accepting the mission is that the highest cultivation level is Fifth Level Lower Tier Holy King. Now, register!" the Third Elder said coldly.
Everyone was shocked, thinking to themselves that it was indeed so!
Why were disciples of higher cultivation levels not allowed to participate? The reason was that the participating disciples were too powerful, and the murderers might not be willing to show themselves.
The goal of capturing and killing them would be foiled overnight.
Only by forming a team of people below Fifth Level Holy King could they lure out the murderers again.
Hence, there was no doubt that this team of six was for scouting purposes.
It was believed that there was an even more powerful team in the dark. Once the team of six had detected the exact strength and number of the enemies, they would strike like lightning and eliminate all of them.
The team of six would not be able to get a share of those rewards that looked extremely tempting.
They would only be sending themselves to their deaths, and there would be no gains.
Hence, when the Third Elder said this, there was dead silence. No one signed up.
Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence or a bit of experience would have seen through the true nature of this emergency mission.
Especially those whose cultivation levels were above Fifth Level Holy King. Their lips curled into a mocking smile. This time, the stage was theirs.
The team of six was merely a stepping stone.
The Third Elder's face trembled slightly. It was obvious that he had underestimated the intelligence of the disciples.
As time passed, there was still no response. As an Elder of the faction, he was a little embarrassed.
"I will participate!"
In the silence, a figure stepped out from the crowd.
Purple robes, silver hair, a calm expression.
The Third Elder relaxed, but when he saw who it was, he was slightly stunned.
Su Yu? On the day of the wedding, the Third Elder had been at the scene. Naturally, he still had a clear memory of the silver-haired, purple-robed Su Yu.
But Su Yu was only a Third Level Holy King, and his abilities were too low!
Even though he had only set an upper limit for Fifth Level Lower Tier Holy Kings and did not set a lower limit, anyone with a discerning eye would know that only Fourth Level Holy Kings could sign up.
If a Third Level Holy King were to go, he would not even be of use as a stepping stone.
But even though he was unwilling, he could not back down now. Since someone was willing to step out and help him resolve the awkwardness, how could he reject?
"You... Alright, count you in." The Third Elder sighed unwillingly, muttering to himself. Did no one tell this young lad that only Fourth Level Holy Kings and above had to gather, and that those below Fourth Level were not allowed to participate?
It was only when Su Yu stepped forward that people finally noticed his peculiar existence.
"That's weird, why would a Third Level Holy King appear when all of us Fourth Level Holy Kings are gathered?"
"Why, did you not recognize who he is? Su Yu, the Su Yu who defeated Cao Xuan, do you know him? "
"Hiss! It's him! "
"His abilities are not bad, but he is still a youth. His experience and intelligence are lacking, and he could not see the hidden danger of the team of six."
"Tsk! Unworthy of his name! When he grows up, he will be a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs. He will be tempted by a little temptation, and his mind will lose its cool. The possibility of him growing up alive in the future is very low. "
...
Hearing the discussions around him, Su Yu was shocked!
He really did not know that this was a gathering that only Fourth Level Holy Kings and above could participate, as no one had told him.
But how could Su Yu not be aware of the hidden danger of this mission?
To put it nicely, they were the vanguard, but to put it bluntly, they were the suicide squad.
But Su Yu had no other choice!
The stronger team that was to be formed in the future would definitely only be Fifth Level Holy Kings and above.
Su Yu definitely did not have the qualifications. To be able to join the team of six, he had only managed to do so by accident, and was extremely lucky.
His only chance was to kill as many enemies as possible before the arrival of the stronger team, to fight for glory, and to make a great contribution.
Other than that, it would be difficult for him to gain the faction's trust in a short period of time.
Just like what the Second Elder had said, even if he had a slim chance of surviving, the faction might not believe him, as life and death could be faked.
Only by killing enemies for the faction could he prove himself.
"I will participate as well!" A refreshing voice could be heard. It was Li Hao!
With a meaningful smile on his face, Li Hao stepped forward.
He had come for Su Yu!
Such a dangerous mission was the best opportunity to kill Su Yu without arousing suspicion!
The Third Elder's eyes lit up, revealing a satisfied smile. "Alright, the second person, there are still four more spots... I will reward the person with the greatest contribution with a chance to enter the depository of scriptures."
Clenching his teeth, the Third Elder once again threw out a shocking reward.
To a Holy King, entering the depository of scriptures meant that they had the opportunity to touch a legacy level cultivation technique! Furthermore, if they had enough determination, entering the deepest part of the depository would give them a slight chance of obtaining a complete legacy level cultivation technique!
"I will go too!"
"Me too!"
...
In an instant, more than ten people signed up, many of them mocking Su Yu for being simple-minded and unable to resist the temptation.
Legacy level cultivation techniques were too rare, and the rewards were too tempting. They could not resist.
The Third Elder had a smile on his face as he chose four people.
The team of six was completely decided.
One Fifth Level Holy King, four Fourth Level Peak Holy Kings, and finally, a slightly strange Third Level Lower Tier Holy King.
"Alright, let's go to the place where we were ambushed, and find and kill the murderer!"
