Chapter 39

On this day, a guest came to Zhan Chen's house. It was a martial artist from the Experience Hall.

After the two of them greeted each other, they sat down in the living room. Zhan Chen looked at him in confusion and asked, "What brings you here, Senior Brother?"

The martial artist said, "Junior Brother, you have been selected to participate in the sect's mandatory half-year mission."

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

"The so-called mandatory mission is a mission that every inner disciple must participate in. There is no shirking it."

"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 Elixir Pavilion all have senior brothers on duty. You know this, right?"

Zhan Chen nodded.

"Yes, these are the inner disciples who participate in the mandatory mission. Who doesn't want to stay in the Cultivation Tower and cultivate in their own small courtyard? Who doesn't want to do experience missions to earn a lot of merit points? But in this way, there is no one to manage the affairs of our sect. "

"Therefore, our Sect Leader has set a rule that every once in a while, a part of the inner disciples who do not go out to experience or carry out missions must be selected to participate in the management of the sect. These missions cannot be casually declined. This is the so-called mandatory mission."

"I see." Zhan Chen pondered. To be honest, he did not want to participate in any mandatory mission. Now he was only one step away from breaking through to the Intermediate Martial Master level.

Seeing his unhappy look, the martial artist could not help but persuade him, "Junior Brother, you have to participate anyway. Moreover, as long as you participate this time, you will not be selected next time."

What else could Zhan Chen say? He could only nod helplessly and ask, "May I ask, Senior Brother, what is the content of my mission this time? Where is the location? "

"Brother, your luck is a little bad this time. You have been selected to a place of trouble." The martial artist's face suddenly became serious.

"Where is it?" Zhan Chen was getting more and more curious.

"It's Huang Yanggang."

"What is that place?" Zhan Chen, who usually only knew how to cultivate, obviously did not know this place at all.

"Yellow Cliff Hill is the furthest base from our sect. It's close to the Yellow Cliff Sect's territory, and there's a small origin stone mine there. It's one of the most important sources of money for our sect, and it's a place that all strategists fight for."

"As you can imagine, the Huang Gang Sect must also want this mine very much, so there have been many conflicts with our sect over the ownership of the mine. They often send people to our mine to harass and rob it, so it is not a peaceful place."

"And I heard that the mine itself is full of danger, and there are powerful monsters lurking deep in the caves. So, there is a lot of them. "

When Zhan Chen heard the martial artist's explanation, he had a general understanding of the situation in Huang Yangang. He cursed in his heart, "Damn it, who arranged this damned place!" Suddenly, he remembered that the Elder in charge of the Experience Hall was Lan Hong! "Haha, but Junior Brother, you don't have to worry. Huang Yanggang is guarded by our sect's Elder Yan Xue. His cultivation is at the Great Perfection Martial Honorable Realm. Moreover, you have 19 other people with you. As long as you are careful, you will be safe."

"Hehe, but Junior Brother, you don't have to worry. That's because our sect's Elder Yan Xue is guarding Huang Yan Hill. His cultivation base is at the Martial Honor Realm. Furthermore, you have 19 other people with you. As long as you're careful, you'll be fine."

Zhan Chen couldn't help but think, "How would this martial artist know? This mission is probably a trap that old thing Lan Hong has set for me, and I have to obediently enter it. So, this mission will not be a safe one, but a narrow escape."

"Moreover, this mission has the most Merit Points. It's a total of 300,000. Think about it, where can we earn 300,000 Merit Points?"

"Is this the only benefit?" Zhan Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Remember, we will gather at the entrance of the sect three days later at seven in the morning. " Remember, three days later at seven in the morning, we will gather at the sect's mountain gate. "

"Take care, Senior Brother."

After sending off the martial artist, Zhan Chen returned to the cultivation room and sat down. He did not know why, but he felt very nervous. He felt that something big was going to happen on this trip.

…

This was an extremely beautiful mountain. Different from the other peaks, this place was full of flowers and peach trees. In this picturesque scenery, there was a beautiful courtyard. Three bright red words were written on the lintel of the door, "Rosy Cloud Hall".

This was the courtyard of the Golden Elephant Sect's famous Grand Elder, Tian Jiaojiao. Her cultivation had reached the beginner level of King Wu. Her status was second only to the Sect Leader, Li Jianshu, and his wife, Meiyan.

In a pavilion in the courtyard, Tian Jiaojiao and Su Yun were sitting face to face. Tian Jiaojiao scolded Su Yun, "Su Yun, be serious. Do you know how lucky you are to have me as your disciple? I don't even accept elite disciples. "

Su Yun stuck out her tongue at Tian Jiaojiao and laughed, "Aunt, why are you so serious? Haven't I been working hard? In these two years, I've reached the Martial Master Great Perfection according to your requirements. "

Tian Jiaojiao looked at her innocent look and shook her head, sighing, "Su Yun, you have to call me Master here, understand?"

Su Yun winked at her mischievously and laughed, "Yes, Master!"

Tian Jiaojiao looked at her innocent niece and sighed. In terms of cultivation talent, there was nothing to say about her. But in terms of scheming and fighting, Su Yun was basically at the level of a noob. She was like a flower that had been cultivated in a greenhouse. She had not experienced the trials of wind and frost. If this went on, there would be problems sooner or later.

Thus, Tian Jiaojiao finally hardened her heart and said, "Su Yun, your cultivation has reached the required level. It's time to go out and gain experience."

Su Yun was stunned, "Where to?"

"You should go to Huang Yan Gang. This time, the sect issued a compulsory mission. You haven't gone out to gain experience in these two years."

"Oh, got it." Su Yun replied listlessly. It was obvious that she was not very interested in this mission.

Tian Jiaojiao hardened her tone, "Anyway, you have to go even if you don't want to. I'll go register for you now!"

At this moment, Su Yun said something that spoiled the mood, "Aunt, I'll have to trouble you to find someone to help me take care of the spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs in my courtyard."

Tian Jiaojiao was so angry that she almost fainted. She glared at her for a long time before she forced out a sentence, "Got it!"

Three days later, Zhan Chen rushed to the front of the mountain gate. He saw a group of Martial Masters standing there and a familiar figure — Su Yun!

Seeing Su Yun, Zhan Chen's heart was filled with joy. He was not so against this compulsory mission anymore. He greeted Su Yun from afar, "Senior Sister Su Yun!"

"Little Junior Brother Zhan Chen, it's you! What a coincidence!" When Su Yun saw Zhan Chen, she waved at him happily. The two of them could be considered good friends.

This scene made the other men in the group envious. They all looked at Zhan Chen with jealousy.

Zhan Chen did not care about this. He walked in front of Su Yun and started chatting with her.

Not long later, everyone had arrived. There were a total of 20 people, 16 men and 4 women. They were all Martial Masters and above. When they gathered together, they looked quite imposing.

At this moment, a person walked out from the group and said to the crowd, "Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce myself. I am the leader of this mission, Huang Yan Gang, Huang Yue."

Zhan Chen could not help but be shocked. This Huang Yue's gaze was firm and his aura was like a mountain. With one look, he could tell that he was an expert. His cultivation had probably reached the Great Perfection Martial Master realm. His strength was not to be underestimated.

He then heard him say, "This mission is incomparably dangerous. I hope that if everyone has any grudges, we will let bygones be bygones and cooperate sincerely. This is the only way we can defend Huang Yan Gang and not disgrace the name of the Golden Elephant Sect. Is everyone clear?"

"Clear!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Good, let's set off now. Huang Yan Gang is a long journey. Even with our Martial Masters' speed, it will take more than half a month. Everyone must take care of each other on the way."
