Chapter 74 Silver Mission
Three days later.
Ling Chen stayed in Wuchen Courtyard to rest for a few days. In the battle with the assassin from Shadow Building, he was also injured and hit by a poisoned arrow. He needed to rest well for a few days.
As for Ling Yin, he didn't need to take too much care of her, because he had troubled Xiao Muyu to send two female servant disciples to help take care of Ling Yin, which saved him a lot of trouble.
As for Xu Ruoyan, she had returned to Tianxu Palace alone two days ago. Ling Chen knew that it was meaningless for him to cancel the engagement with her at this time because there was no need for it.
Ling Chen undoubtedly struggled a bit after saying what he said yesterday. Having been with Xu Ruoyan for such a long time and having gone through life and death together, it was impossible for him to say that he had no feelings for Xu Ruoyan at all.
But a short pain is worse than a long one, and besides, this is something Ling Chen had already made up his mind about, and he will not regret it.
As soon as the sun rose, Ling Chen left Wuchen Courtyard and came to the Deacon's Hall.
Since Shenyi Sect is not a safe place, why should he be a sitting duck here? Moreover, the longer he stays in the sect, the more his cultivation will be affected. Only by going out and gaining more experience can he find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"There are no more one-star silver missions?" Ling Chen frowned in front of the white jade disk on the right side of the door. He was originally planning to take a one-star silver mission to practice first, but he didn't expect that missions of this level seemed to be very popular and not easy to come across.
After thinking for a while, Ling Chen walked sideways to the depths of the hall and stopped in front of the jade disk for the two-star silver mission.
"This kid wants to die? Even a third-level martial artist would have to be cautious for a two-star silver mission. He is only a first-level martial artist, yet he dares to take the mission."
"Maybe he just came to take a look. I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to answer it."
Several outer disciples nearby noticed Ling Chen, their eyes flickered, and they discussed in low voices.
Ling Chen rarely appears in front of outer disciples. Many people have only heard of his name but do not know him personally.
Ling Chen was indifferent to other people's opinions. With his strength, it was not too much for him to accept a two-star silver-level mission. If the difficulty of the mission was taken into consideration, he was just right for this level of mission.
There are quite a few tasks on the jade disk.
After a while, Ling Chen found a satisfactory task.
On the jade disk, detailed information of the mission was clearly written.
Mission name: Escort the people from the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce to the Demon Forest.
Details: The escort location is deep in the Demon Forest, in a valley called the Demon Sound Valley. The strongest active exotic beast is a high-level second-grade beast, but it is very rare. Middle-level second-grade exotic beasts rarely appear, and low-level second-grade exotic beasts are more likely to appear.
Mission reward: 3,000 points of sect contribution.
Suggestion: Senior disciples who have reached the third level of martial artist should take on missions; those below this level should be extremely cautious.
The Heavenly Demon Forest is an extremely ferocious and dangerous place, and its scope is extremely large. The Soul Burial Cliff where Ling Chen's body was thrown last time is just a place on the outskirts of the Heavenly Demon Forest, and the real danger of the Heavenly Demon Forest lies in its depths.
Without much hesitation, Ling Chen reached out and tore off the task list.
"What? He really accepted it. That's a two-star silver mission." Several outer disciples exclaimed.
"Humph, there will definitely be a lot of people who will take up this level of mission, and we will have to go through some screening. If you are just a first-level martial artist, it would be humiliating for you. I hope you won't bring shame to our Divine Will Sect during the screening."
"Yes, the second-rate sects such as the Fiery Blade Sect, the Golden Shark Gang, and the Medicine King Sect have always been at odds with our Divine Will Sect. Whenever they get the chance, they will humiliate us to death. Our Divine Will Sect is the number one sect in the Wind Country, with a thousand years of heritage. We cannot afford to lose to this kid."
Under the speechless gazes of the crowd, Ling Chen walked out of the Deacon Hall.
At the foot of the mountain.
Ling Chen jumped on his horse and galloped out.
The Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce is a large chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Wind , but it is not strong in martial arts. Its main development route is refining equipment and medicine. There are not many masters in the force, and there is no grandmaster in charge. This is why it needs to issue tasks to various major sects and recruit masters to help.
After all, there are many talented disciples in the sect, fighting against opponents of higher levels is common, the martial arts they practice are much stronger, and the cost of hiring disciples from the sect is not high.
This time they wanted to enter the Demon Sound Valley to collect the materials they needed and explore a vein of fine iron ore.
In the afternoon.
Ling Chen rushed to Blue Moon City without stopping and arrived at the headquarters of the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce.
The Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce was quite lively at this time. Dozens of young people with extraordinary appearance gathered in the martial arts training ground. Among them were disciples from the Medicine King Sect in green clothes, disciples from the Fiery Blade Sect in red clothes, disciples from the Golden Shark Gang in yellow clothes. In addition, there were also many disciples from other aristocratic families, more than ten people in total.
A total of more than twenty people gathered here. When they gathered together, they undoubtedly formed an extremely strong force, exuding a very amazing aura.
"Everyone, we will set out for the Demon Forest tomorrow morning, so the candidates for this mission will be decided before this evening. My Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce will not treat those who are not selected unfairly and will present them with a VIP token of our chamber of commerce as compensation." The speaker was the president of the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce, named Yuan Tianxing, and his strength was at the fifth level of martial artist.
Upon hearing this, one of the disciples of the Fiery Blade Sect took two steps forward and asked, "President Yuan, what are the selection rules? Tell me about them."
If Ling Chen were here, he would definitely recognize this person. This person was none other than Ouyang Ming, who was hanging out with Ying Wuqing.
Yuan Tianxing smiled and said, "It's definitely not realistic to have everyone compete one by one, so I adopted the mixed-combat selection rule. Look at the martial arts training ground. There is a red circle there. On each of the four wooden stakes in the circle is a guest order of our Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce. Wait, all of you will enter and fight for these four guest orders. After one stick of incense, the owners of the four guest orders will be the people selected for this mission."
After clearing his throat, Yuan Tianxing continued, "For the sake of fairness, during a melee, you cannot use the majority to bully the minority. It must be one-on-one. When others are fighting, you can only look for another person and cannot intervene. I hope everyone will remember this."
Everyone looked and saw that there was indeed a huge circle painted with red paint on the martial arts field. It was about five meters in size, which could twenty people fighting inside. However, when the fight started, the wind from the palms and fists would inevitably affect others. Once they were accidentally out of the circle, it would mean being eliminated.
"Okay, there's a challenge, I like it." Suddenly, a young man in luxurious robes walked out, looking down at everyone with a haughty look on his face.
"It's Kong Xuan, one of the 'Ten Great Men of the Royal Capital'!"
The identity of this young man in the gorgeous robe was quickly recognized.
The disciples of the Fiery Blade Sect were unwilling to fall behind. A young man in a blue robe with a very powerful aura stood out and said, "My Fiery Blade Sect's martial arts are very open and powerful. I like this kind of chaotic fighting scene the most. Haha..."
"Fire Cloud Swordsman, Ouyang Lie!"
There was an uproar among the crowd again.
"Golden Shark Gang disciples are not afraid of anyone." The representative of the Golden Shark Gang is a sturdy young man named "Crazy Shark" Wei Xuan.
"My Medicine King Sect is the same."
On the Medicine King Sect's side, standing in the front was a gentle and charming woman in white with a pattern of exotic flowers and plants embroidered on her chest. This woman was Bai Suzhen, who was known as the "Little Medicine King" in the martial arts world.
The most powerful disciples from all the major sects expressed their opinions one after another, and seemed determined to get a spot this time.
"Oops, our Divine Will Sect doesn't have any powerful disciples coming this time."
The remaining Shen Yi Sect disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. Kong Xuan, Ouyang Lie and the like were all young talents with a great reputation in the martial arts world of Wind Country, and among them, there was obviously no disciple of Shen Yi Sect who could compete with these people.
