Sect Mission

The bride, soaking wet, seemed to have been in great pain from the fall.

She sat up from the ground with a soft "whimper".

He rubbed his aching arm and then his sleepy eyes.

She finally woke up.

"Huh? How come I'm still here at the sacrificial ceremony? Was it all just a dream?"

I looked up at the blinding sun in the sky.

He looked back at the people of Baijia Town and the familiar sacrificial square.

The bride in red initially looked puzzled, but this quickly turned into disappointment and dejection.

It was all a dream.

How could the River God be a young and handsome man?

So embarrassing!

How could I have such a wet dream?

If I had known it was just a dream, I should have...

"Well--"

The bride in red sighed deeply, her face full of regret.

However, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because it was too quiet all around.

The atmosphere was also unusually eerie.

The people of Baijia Town remained silent, kneeling on the ground, facing him, not daring to even raise their heads.

The bride in red staggered to her feet.

The phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, along with the bride's wedding gown, became extremely heavy after being soaked in the river.

But the bride didn't care about any of that.

Because she had already seen her parents.

His hands and feet were bound, his mouth was gagged, and he was tightly tied to a wooden cross.

There was a pile of firewood right beneath their feet.

It was as if someone wanted to burn them alive.

"Father... Mother..."

The bride, dragging her heavy, soaked wedding robe, ran unsteadily toward the execution platform, shouting loudly.

However, the surrounding crowd, who had previously been furious and fanatical, wishing they could burn the innocent parents alive,

At this moment, however, he knelt Jingjing, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Running all the way,

The bride removed her phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, leaving her only in a red wedding gown, and came to her parents' side.

"Father, Mother, what's wrong? Why is this happening?"

The bride in red wept as she removed the gags from her parents' mouths and then untied the ropes binding them.

But the first thing this elderly couple did after being rescued by their daughter wasn't to hug and cry with their daughter who had returned alive.

Instead, he knelt down with two thuds, banging his forehead heavily on the ground.

The bride in red was stunned and forgot to continue crying.

That direction...

The bride in red finally realized what was happening.

Because her parents, like all the other residents of Baijia Town in the square, were kneeling and worshipping in the same direction.

Following the wet footprints she left as she ran,

The bride in red slowly raised her head.

Then I saw a flowing blue robe that seemed to have stepped out of the sunlight.

"River... River God..."

The bride in red slowly knelt on the ground, gazing up at that exquisitely beautiful and aloof face, murmuring to herself in a daze.

It wasn't a dream after all.

The River God is real.

He not only saved himself,

He even personally brought me back.

Oh my god!!

I actually fell asleep leaning on the River God's shoulder.

I...

It is blasphemy against the gods.

Thinking of this,

A strong sense of shame and excitement instantly welled up from the depths of my heart, and then sprouted and grew wildly.

I don't know if it's just my imagination,

The bride in red felt her red wedding gown become even damper.

Standing in the sunlight,

Standing atop the drum, Gao Yunyi simply watched everything indifferently.

Although I don't know exactly what happened,

But I had a rough idea of what was going on.

Therefore, these ignorant people were worshipping the gods.

They still used the cruel and inhumane practice of human sacrifice.

He, on the other hand, was regarded as River God by these people.

I told myself that I had inexplicably gained a wife, and that I even jumped into the river in a red wedding dress just to scare myself.

So that's what happened after all.

As expected, Foundation Establishment was not as simple as he had imagined, even though he had made thorough preparations.

The Unseen seemed as if some unseen, mysterious force was creating obstacles and interference for him.

Gao Yunyi never believed in fortuitous opportunity or coincidence.

This incident further solidified his suspicions.

So,

This ordinary ancient world,

Does such a thing as the Heavenly Dao also exist?

Gao Yunyi looked up at the cloudless sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Don't let me break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Otherwise, just wait for me to fly up and drag you out.

Even if there truly is Heavenly Dao in this world,

Gao Yunyi wasn't afraid either.

Because the other party couldn't do anything to him.

Otherwise, they would have taken action to suppress him long ago; why would they be hiding behind the scenes and engaging in these underhanded tactics?

This only proves that the other party is not as powerful as imagined.

Or perhaps for some reason that cannot be named,

They dared not lay a hand on him themselves.

Alright,

The play is over, and the matter has been clarified.

It's time to teach that useless, worthless bird a lesson.

You can't even do this little thing right.

If he weren't lacking a flying mount, he would have roasted and eaten that arrogant and obnoxious fat bird long ago.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to leave behind one of the Ten Thousand Immortals Church's whip weapons and not destroy it.

Now is the perfect time to give that useless, worthless bird a good beating.

Don't hit the top,

Specifically, draw from the bottom.

But just as he was about to turn and leave,

Suddenly the taskbar popped up automatically.

[Task: Sect Communication]

[Mission Requirements: Demon Beast is wreaking havoc in the Canglan River of Taian Prefecture, causing storms, harming the people, and wreaking havoc in the region. The Azure Profound Sect, upholding the principles of justice, is immediately dispatching its disciples to exorcise the demon and protect the people.]

[Quest Reward: 1000 Experience Points, Item: Law Treasure: Purple Firmament Sword.]

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Gao Yunyi felt that he was no longer obsessed with the tasks issued by the system.

From now on, I'll decide whether or not to accept missions based on my own mood.

But when this task appeared before him, he caught his breath.

Goodness!

It's actually a sect mission!

The reward was the Law Treasure he had long coveted.

Catch,

You must accept it.

If he doesn't accept these requests, not only will his thoughts be unclear, but his Dao heart will also collapse.

The Demon Beast of the Canglan River

This task is a bit difficult.

It should be noted that the Canglan River is very long and deep, almost running through the entire Taian Prefecture.

We have to search for it little by little in the river.

It's definitely a large-scale project.

I should have released the Maybach Cranes back then and tamed Bai Suzhen and taken her away.

With that White Python around, this mission will definitely be twice as effective.

Thinking of this, Gao Yunyi felt even more disgusted with that useless, lowly bird.

But no matter how difficult the task is, it must be done.

He was determined to obtain the Law Treasure, Purple Heavens.

Just as Gao Yunyi made up his mind to close the task panel, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a red dot on the minimap in the upper right corner of his eye.

The quest monster was actually in the water behind him.

He's still not far away.

Gao Yunyi smiled.

He began to believe that there were still such things as fortuitous opportunity in this world.

Look,

Isn't that it?

It's perfect to use this dim-witted Demon Beast to test the new skills it learned after reaching level 20.

Deep blue,

Add some points.
