Chapter 49

Two months later, Zhan Chen walked out of the Cultivation Tower. Looking back at the towering tower, he still felt like he had not had enough. The pleasure of his cultivation rising was like a drug. Once addicted, it would be hard to extricate oneself.

If he were to stay in an ordinary place or even his own courtyard to cultivate, Zhan Chen would probably find it hard to adapt.

Two months of seclusion in the Cultivation Tower was equivalent to half a year of cultivation for an ordinary inner disciple. However, this was far from enough for Zhan Chen, who was trying to break through the bottleneck of a high-ranked Martial Master. He felt that his accumulated Qi was not even half of what he needed to break through.

"Merit points, I need more merit points!" Right now, this was the only thought in Zhan Chen's mind.

After returning, he rested for a while and went straight to the Hall of Experience. Arriving in front of the mission board, he carefully looked for which mission would give him the most merit points.

Beginner missions were only suitable for Martial Disciples, and the reward was usually a few thousand merit points. Intermediate missions were suitable for Martial Masters, and the reward was at most a few tens of thousands. Zhan Chen looked further up. Advanced missions were suitable for high-ranked Martial Masters and above, and the reward was more than a hundred thousand.

The most difficult missions, such as killing an early rank 3 demonic beast, required a team of Martial Masters to complete, and the reward was more than a few hundred thousand.

It was a pity that Zhan Chen was only a mid-ranked Martial Master. It would be difficult for him to complete normal advanced missions, not to mention team missions. Even if he went, no one would be willing to cooperate with him.

Zhan Chen started to feel a little disappointed. Did he have to slowly complete intermediate missions to accumulate merit points? Perhaps ordinary Martial Masters would do this, but for someone like him who was in a hurry to become stronger, this method was not suitable.

Thus, he shifted his gaze to the temporary mission board. The missions recorded on it were all issued by other disciples of the sect, and the contents were all different. However, the merit points were not enough to satisfy him.

When he shifted his gaze to the top, he saw the words "Secret Mission", and the merit point reward was — — 1,000,000!

"1,000,000?" Zhan Chen suspected that he had seen wrongly. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again. It really was 1,000,000!

Someone sent him a pillow when he was feeling sleepy. At this time, Zhan Chen was extremely excited. He hurriedly looked at the description of the mission and found that there was nothing!

Could there be a mistake? With this question in mind, he squeezed his way to the front desk and asked the disciple on duty there, the senior brother, "How do I participate in the secret mission on the signboard?"

Senior Martial Brother Shouzhi didn't answer him directly. Instead, he asked, "You want to participate?"

"Yes!" Zhan Chen's reply was very straightforward. What kind of joke was this? A million merit points. Even if he had to climb a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, he would still give it a try.

"I'd advise you to think this through. Although the amount of merit points there seems to be a lot, going there will only result in death." The disciple on duty could not help but advise.

"Why don't you tell me how to participate?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the disciple explained, "You can participate in this secret mission as long as you register. It is a mission issued secretly by the higher-ups of the sect. The contents of the mission and the participants are not announced in advance. When it is necessary to carry out the mission, you will be notified. But you'd better stay in your own courtyard, otherwise it will be easy to miss it!"

"Why are you so secretive?" Zhan Chen asked.

"Because these missions are all highly dangerous or can't be seen in the light of day. If the news is released publicly, it will cause panic or unnecessary trouble. So before you leave, you will be notified of the contents of the mission. If all the participating disciples die, they will be treated as missing. Outsiders will not be able to find the cause of death. Every secret mission has a very high death rate. Junior Martial Brother, with your cultivation, you have to think carefully! "

"I understand. Thank you. Register me!" Zhan Chen had made up his mind. He handed his jade token to the disciple on duty.

The disciple sighed and had to register his information. After that, Zhan Chen returned to his own courtyard and waited for the notification of the mission.

And the news of his participation in the secret mission naturally reached Lan Hong. He immediately contacted Wang Yin.

As soon as they met, Lan Hong invited Wang Yin to sit down and said, "Nephew, you are finally here. Did you know? This time, that Zhan Chen reported the secret mission of the sect. "

"Oh? That Zhan Chen is really not afraid of death. Don't worry, this time I will arrange for a strong person to go and definitely send him to heaven. "

"Nephew, you must succeed this time. Last time, you said the same thing to me, but in the end, you failed. You even let that kid Zhan Chen break through to the middle stage of Martial Master."

When this matter was mentioned again, Wang Yin's face did not look good. He could only promise Lan Hong, "Elder Lan, don't worry this time. The person I will send is a Martial Master with a cultivation of Great Perfection. No matter how heaven-defying Zhan Chen is, he will not be able to cause any trouble!"

"Good! Nephew, with your words, this old man is relieved. After the matter is done, this old man will definitely thank you! "

After that, the two of them plotted a scheme. Wang Yin went back and immediately contacted Lin Dong. He promised him many benefits and even paid a large "deposit" in advance. Only then did he manage to buy over this arrogant guy.

On the other side, Zhan Chen waited in his small courtyard for a full week before he received the message from his Senior Brother at night. He only handed Zhan Chen a secret letter, reminding him to follow the instructions in the letter, and then left in a hurry.

With a perturbed mood, Zhan Chen opened the letter and looked at it. There was only one sentence in the letter: "Tomorrow at 5 o 'clock in the morning, at the gate of the sect. There is still no valuable information."

He could not help but hold the note in his hand and pondered. What important matter was it that needed to be so mysterious and go through so much trouble?

After a sleepless night, Zhan Chen rushed to the front of the mountain gate on time. However, he saw that there were already many people waiting there. Moreover, he could not clearly see the cultivation of most of them. He could not help but murmur: "My cultivation is at the bottom again? It seems that this mission is really as the Senior Brother from the Hall of Experience said. It is abnormally dangerous for me. "

"Danger is to be overcome! If I do not even have this awareness, how can I take revenge? "He silently strengthened his conviction.

Since I am here, I will take things as they come. He quickly calmed his state of mind.

When the time was up, Zhan Chen glanced at the 18 people. Among them, only 2 had a lower cultivation than him, they were beginner Martial Masters. 3 had the same cultivation as him, they were intermediate Martial Masters. The remaining 12 had a higher cultivation than him.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a black shadow flying down from the mountain. In a few flashes, it arrived in front of the crowd.

A Martial Venerable! Zhan Chen could not be wrong. Having seen the demeanor of a Martial Venerable several times, he had done in-depth research on this realm. After all, he would have to face an enemy of this level one day.

The newcomer swept his gaze across the crowd. When he saw that there was no one else present, he said: "First, let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Hu, a high-level Martial Venerable. I am your leader this time. Perhaps you have not heard of my name often. That's right, because I am one of the elders in charge of carrying out secret missions in the sect. The so-called shadow of the Sect Master refers to us. "

"Let me talk about the rules for this mission. The first is confidentiality. The second is also confidentiality. Regardless of whether you are carrying out the mission or after, you must not reveal what you know to outsiders. Otherwise, hehe, you can imagine the possible consequences as much as you want. "Qian Hu revealed a trace of a cruel smile, causing people to shudder.

At this moment, someone finally could not help but ask: "Elder Qian, can you tell us the details of the mission now?"
