In the end, Chen Zong's request was fulfilled under Li Hanchao's insistence.
Spread the news that Chen Zong was an elite disciple of the Heavenly Will Palace and used himself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole. The reward for this mission was one thousand battle merits.
One should know that the reward for a mission in a light war zone ranged from ten to one thousand. One thousand meant one thousand. If one wanted a higher reward, one could go to a medium war zone, where the upper limit was much higher.
Of course, there had been some exceptions throughout history that exceeded the upper limit, but those were few and far between.
Soon, Chen Zong's identity was purposely spread.
Almost all the cultivators in the fortress knew about it.
"What? Just a bait and he wants a reward of one thousand battle merits? Is he crazy?"
For some reason, the content of the mission was leaked, which immediately caused many cultivators to discuss and be dissatisfied.
Just being a bait to lure the snake out of its hole was worth one thousand battle merits.
"I heard that Chen Zong asked for it himself," someone said.
Because of this, it caused even more discussion.
What was the point of asking for one's own mission?
If one could ask for one's own battle merits, wouldn't it be possible to ask for a patrol mission to get one thousand battle merits, which was a hundred times better than the standard?
"Appeal."
"I don't agree."
"I don't agree either. Why?"
"Go ahead, go ahead." Cloud Serpent, on the other hand, was laughing inwardly. This news was naturally leaked by him on purpose. So what if he was a true disciple of the Will Heavenly Palace? He was just a bait, and he wanted a thousand battle points as a reward?
If it weren't for Li Hanchao's strong argument, and the other three generals had to compromise, he wouldn't have agreed even if he was beaten to death.
"What's more, he's just a Dao Manipulation Realm cultivator. How dare he spread the news on purpose? Does he want to die faster?"
"He's really overestimating himself."
Ferment!
After the news spread, it continued to ferment, causing the situation to become serious and out of control.
"Who leaked the news?" In the meeting hall, the green-robed elder showed a rare hint of anger.
"Yunshe, you did it, didn't you?" Li Hanchao's eyes shot out a cold light as he stared at General Yunshe, his voice cold.
General Yunshe's heart trembled for no reason, and then he showed a hint of disdain. "Humph, I'm not that bored."
"What should we do now?" Another general asked.
Even if they were Great Generals, they could not ignore the appeals of so many cultivators.
"I suggest that we reduce this mission's battle achievement to 100 points," General Yun She immediately said.
"Impossible, the news of my Junior Brother's identity has already been spread." Li Hanchao immediately retorted.
If his identity was exposed, he could indeed lower his ranking. At most, Chen Zong would not accept the mission.
"Li Hanchao, this isn't your Heavenly Palace of Will," General Cloudsnake said angrily. "You can't do whatever you want here."
"I'm just following the rules." Li Hanchao said indifferently, "In that case, my junior brother and I won't stay in the No. 9 theater of operations."
After saying that, Li Hanchao turned around and was about to find Chen Zong. He wanted to discuss with Chen Zong about leaving the No. 9 theater of operations and going to other theaters of operations.
"Wait a moment." The green-robed elder immediately stood up. "General Cold Wave, please be patient."
If Li Hanchao really left the No. 9 theater of operations and went to other theaters of operations, it would definitely be the loss of the No. 9 theater of operations and the gain of the other theaters of operations.
It should be known that in the No. 9 theater of operations, General Cold Wave's battle strength was ranked second. He was very powerful.
Even the strongest general did not have a hundred percent confidence in defeating General Cold Wave. He only had a slight advantage over him.
In addition, if the elite true disciple of Will Heavenly Palace left, it would not be a good thing for the No. 9 theater of operations. On the contrary, if other theaters of operations knew about it, it would only become a joke.
Moreover, for generations, the elite true disciples of Will Heavenly Palace were not ordinary. No matter which theater of operations they went to, their final performance would be outstanding. This was a kind of promotion and attraction for the theater of operations.
Discussion, quarrel.
Compromise in the end.
It was a compromise between both sides.
In other words, the content and rewards of this mission would not change, but if Chen Zong used himself as bait and failed to lure out more than ten barbarian warriors, then the reward of this mission would be reduced by several levels, from 1000 points to 100 points.
Li Hanchao finally compromised.
In this regard, Chen Zong agreed.
This fermenting situation could be said to have been temporarily appeased.
This was the third day after the news spread.
… …
"An elite true disciple of Will Heavenly Palace." A barbarian ape warrior's eyes flashed with incomparable coldness, his voice full of terrifying killing intent.
"Kill!" A barbarian snake hissed on the side, chilling the hearts of those who heard it.
"Kill!" The barbarian wolf warrior's face was also gloomy.
Will Heavenly Palace!
The true disciples of this human sect had indeed caused great harm to the Barbarians. Although some of the true disciples of the Heavenly Will Palace had also been killed by the Barbarians, the Barbarian Race had still managed to kill them.
However, every true disciple of Will Heavenly Palace would kill a lot of barbarian warriors.
This was especially true for the elite true disciples. They had great battle strength and astonishing potential.
Of course, in addition to Will Heavenly Palace, the true disciples of other great sects were also the same. Every true disciple of a great human sect was a target of the barbarians, even if they had to pay a price.
"That might be a human's scheme." The barbarian turtle warrior said. Among the barbarians, the barbarians were considered to be one of the more intelligent ones.
"So what if it's a scheme? I'll trade my life for the life of that true disciple of Will Heavenly Palace." The barbarian elephant warrior rumbled.
"Even if we have to pay with our lives, we must kill the true disciple of Will Heavenly Palace."
"Set everything up. This must be a scheme to lure us out. There's only one chance."
"Kill!"
Immediately, the barbarians lurking around the fort began to move.
On the fifth day, Chen Zong began to leave the fort.
Li Hanchao concealed all of his aura and secretly followed him from a certain distance. The other human cultivators moved as well, forming a giant net.
This time, they were going to catch all the barbarians lurking in the fort in one fell swoop.
As for whether the bait could survive or not, that would depend on his own ability.
Even if he didn't, he'd still make a contribution.
After a few days of cultivation, Chen Zong adjusted himself so that his essence, energy, and spirit were at their peak. This time, not only did he want to complete the mission of using himself as bait and get the reward of 1,000 battle credits, but he also wanted to kill as many Barbarian Demons as possible to get even more battle credits.
As for the three seven-star barbarians he'd killed before, he couldn't get the corresponding battle merits because he hadn't received a battle order yet.
But it didn't matter. It was only 21 battle merits, which could be easily obtained. This time, he could definitely get more than a thousand battle merits.
Chen Zong began to fly out of the fort at a certain speed.
However, even after flying for several tens of thousands of light miles, nothing happened to him.
Chen Zong immediately changed his route and circled around the fort.
After flying for several days, he still didn't encounter any attacks, nor did he feel any danger approaching. It made him wonder if there were no more barbarians lurking around.
Or maybe the barbarians knew it was a scheme and didn't show up.
Chen Zong was very patient. He continued to wander around.
If there were any barbarians lurking around, they would definitely know about him. They might even be secretly watching him.
However, the barbarians were very good at hiding. Thinking about the previous attack, he didn't sense it until the moment it was launched.
Maybe the barbarians had already set their eyes on him and were waiting for the best time to attack.
Patience!
This was a competition of patience.
Day after day passed. Half a month went by in a flash, but there was no sign of the Barbarian Demons. Everything seemed like a groundless dream.
Only Chen Zong didn't give up. He kept flying around the fort.
It felt like he wasn't afraid that the barbarians would know it was a scheme or a trap.
Because according to the cultivators' contact with the barbarians, the barbarians should have taken action, even if they knew it was a scheme or a trap.
But now, half a month had passed, and they still hadn't taken action. It was very likely that there were no more barbarians lurking around. Otherwise, they would have taken action long ago instead of waiting for so long.
Unconsciously, the big net hiding in the dark loosened a little.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Chen Zong, who was resting on a piece of rubble, suddenly exploded. Countless fragments with terrible power sputtered in all directions in an instant, as if they could pierce through everything. The power was extremely terrible and shocking.
Boom, boom, boom!
In an instant, it was as if a fuse had been ignited. The other rocks beside it were also instantly shattered by the huge force. They exploded one after another and sputtered everywhere, covering everything in all directions.
In the next breath, nine figures of different sizes appeared. They exploded with an extremely terrifying aura that was violent and brutal.
"The barbarians have shown up."
"Sure enough, there are barbarian warriors lurking around."
"Those barbarians have really taken action."
Chen Zong, who bore the brunt of the attack, felt it the most clearly and strongly.
The nine barbarian warriors all had the combat strength of eight or nine stars, and they all launched their strongest attacks in an instant. The power was extremely terrible.
Faced with such an attack, any Nine Star Battle Prowess would be dead for sure.
But Chen Zong didn't. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he unsheathed his sword in an instant.
These were all military exploits. Finally, they appeared. It was worth it to waste half a month acting as bait to lure them.
Chen Zong could feel that a wave of military exploits was approaching.
The sword light flashed, and the sound of the sword was melodious. In an instant, it was slashed. The speed of the sword was so fast that the nine barbarian warriors who attacked him couldn't react in time.
The sword light turned, and in an instant, it disappeared in the debris and returned to the sheath.
The nine barbarian warriors who attacked Chen Zong were all stunned and couldn't move. Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were full of killing intent. They looked fierce and wanted to ignite their totems to launch a final attack, but they couldn't do it.
The reason for that was because they had already been killed.
Nine kills with one sword!
