"Elder, I am just a young disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Why does the sect always trust me with such important tasks?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"The sect believes in your ability." Elder Xu's eyes were full of trust, "You are the only one who has your level of talent in the Immortal Dust Sect's countless years."
"The sect isn't worried about my safety?"
"We all believe in you, and the demon cultivator will not see any flaws. If you disguise yourself, even we won't be able to tell that you are not a demon cultivator."
Li Xiuchang's face is stiff. What does that mean?
He has been practicing for ten years and has been fighting against demonic cultivators. He has also practiced Buddhist techniques to exorcise evil spirits and conquer demons. How is he like a demonic cultivator?
You are an elder, you can't tell lies with your eyes open!
If the demonic cultivator dared to slander him like this, he would have skinned the demonic cultivator, extracted his soul, and refined his body!
Seeing that Li Xiuchang looked unhappy, Elder Xu had no choice but to offer some kind words:
"Xiuchang, think about it, for our sect, if anyone other than you were to perform this undercover mission, there would be a risk of being exposed. You don't want any of your fellow sects to be harmed by demonic cultivators, right?
"Only if you do this job, you will be foolproof, and we will provide you with more life-saving trump cards than last time, and there will be people secretly protecting you to ensure your safety."
Li Xiuchang In fact, I have already agreed in my heart.
He thought that by working as an undercover agent for the Immortal Dust Sect, he could at least figure out the movements of the powerful Immortal Dust Sect and provide information to Senior Brother Mo.
But he didn't agree immediately.
Although he is rich now and does not like ordinary rewards, if he is too talkative and does not ask for anything in return, he may not be taken seriously.
In any group, those who contribute silently are often the most overlooked.
Therefore, he sighed, "Elder, today is different from the past. In the past, I was alone, and even if I died for the sect, I would not come back. But now I have many properties, and Four Immortals Merchant Association and Danxiang Tower have a lot of people who rely on me to support them. If I have something wrong with me, what will they do?"
Elder Xu also knows that Li Xiuchang's family has a big business now, and he also understands that Li Xiuchang is offering rewards.
For carrying out such a dangerous task for the sect, of course you will be rewarded heavily!
But the question is what to reward?
Li Xiuchang may not be interested in ordinary treasures.
Elder Xu thought for a few breaths, then his eyes suddenly lit up, yes!
"Xiu Chang, if you successfully complete this mission, the Contribution Points reward you deserve will definitely not be less. In addition, I will make arrangements and specially recruit you to enter the inner gate!"
Li Xiuchang's eyes darkened... If you say that, I really don't want to do it anymore!
He refused righteously and said, "Elder, the founder's law cannot be abolished! Since it is a rule passed down by the ancestor, no exceptions can be made because of me!
"Although I yearn for the inner sect very much, I definitely don't want the sect to break its rules because of me. I think it's better than this. The sect will give me more Contribution Points, and also give me some permissions. Then I can exchange whatever I want."
Li Xiuchang doesn't really care about rewards or anything, it mainly expresses an attitude.
He didn't want to end up becoming an inner disciple.
"Of course it's no problem, so you agreed?" Elder Xu asked.
Li Xiuchang nodded. "If the sect needs me, of course I am obligated!"
"Okay! I am Immortal Dust Sect lucky to have a disciple like you!"
Elder Xu took out a Storage Bag, poured out a bunch of things, and introduced:
"These are treasures for you to use for self-defense when performing missions. I will tell you how to use them and you can familiarize yourself with them."
This time Immortal Dust Sect prepared more life-saving cards for Li Xiuchang than last time.
But in fact, with Li Xiuchang and now Cultivation Level, most things are not very useful.
There are only a few high-level talismans and a few two or three protective spiritual treasures, which may still be of some use.
Li Xiuchang is too lazy to be greedy for these things, and will return whatever is left after completing the task.
However, there is a spiritual treasure among them, which makes Li Xiuchang slightly interested.
It was a treasure used for disguise, called "Illusory Heart Pearl", and it was a clam bead the size of a longan.
This clam bead turned out to be the rare Innate Spirit Treasure!
Although it is only a low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, it has no offensive ability and its only function is to use it to disguise itself, so it is very powerful in this regard!
In terms of camouflage effect alone, Mid-grade Spirit Treasure cannot compare to it.
Li Xiuchang is interested in Illusory Heart Pearl. On the one hand, it is because his "Skin-swapping Mask" has gradually become a bit outdated and cannot keep up with his current Cultivation Level, which is easily noticed by people whose Cultivation Level is taller than him.
And Illusory Heart Pearl is a good substitute.
On the other hand, it was because Li Xiuchang was a little curious about Innate Spirit Treasure.
Nowadays, Innate Spirit Treasure is rare. Now that I have come across it, of course I want to study it.
"Elder, can this Illusory Heart Pearl be given to me as a mission reward?" Li Xiuchang asked directly without being polite.
Elder Xu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. It would be fine if it was an ordinary spiritual treasure. Illusory Heart Pearl, as a rare Innate Spirit Treasure, is also a functional spiritual treasure. It has no requirements for the user's Cultivation Level. It is very easy to use and is often used in sects.
Seeing Elder Xu hesitate, Li Xiuchang said, "You can use the Contribution Points reward from my mission to deduct it."
Elder Xu then nodded and used Contribution Points to deduct it, which is equivalent to what Li Xiuchang himself exchanged with Contribution Points. He should also be easier to talk to.
"Then go back and prepare. We should be leaving soon."
Li Xiuchang asked knowingly, "Elder, you haven't told me the specific content of this mission yet."
Elder Xu said, "The remnants of the demonic path are preparing to convene Demonic Arts Convention to summon all the demonic forces to gather together and plan to release the demon that was sealed by Last Demonic Lord.
"We have captured a Foundation Establishment magic cultivator from the Black Soul Sect and are going to let you pretend to be him to participate in the Demonic Arts Convention. Your mission this time has two points.
"The first is to determine the specific location of Demonic Arts Convention, and the second is to find out the location of Demon Sealing Land. Of course, if you can't complete both of these two tasks, you can complete any one."
If the location of Demonic Arts Convention can be determined and all the demon cultivators are wiped out, no one will release the demon, so the location of Demon Sealing Land will not be important.
On the contrary, as long as the location of Demon Sealing Land is determined and Four Great Immortal Sects sends people to block Demon Sealing Land, there is no need to worry about the remnants of the demonic path causing trouble.
However, these two tasks are not difficult for Li Xiuchang.
He can complete these two tasks without even leaving the house.
For the location of Demonic Arts Convention, he could just ask Xue Qingshan directly.
The location of Demon Sealing Land... was originally made up by Xue Qingshan. If you want to find the real one, just ask Senior Brother Mo.
Of course, Li Xiuchang's main purpose this time is actually to secretly help Xue Qingshan successfully complete the plan.
Li Xiuchang immediately promised, "Disciple will definitely complete the mission!"
Seeing that Li Xiuchang was about to say goodbye and leave, Elder Xu stopped him after thinking for a while and said, "I'll have the Foundation Establishment demon cultivator from the Black Soul Cult be sent over. You should familiarize yourself with his demeanor, tone and voice, so as not to reveal your secret when you pretend to be him."
Li Xiuchang naturally has no reason to refuse.
After a while, someone walked in escorting a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
"He is the Foundation Establishment demon cultivator of the Black Soul Sect, his name is Shen Kai, and he is good at controlling Fierce Ghost." Elder Xu introduced while handing a soul flag to Li Xiuchang.
"The soul flags are all Fierce Ghost that he drives. Among them, there is a demon leopard Fierce Ghost that is more famous. It is his signature. You are also Soul Master. You can try to control the demon leopard Fierce Ghost. If you can succeed, no one will doubt you."
Li Xiuchang took out Illusory Heart Pearl without haste, and then transformed it into Shen Kai with a thought, even the details were exactly the same.
Then he picked up the soul flag, Divine Sense swiped it, and locked on a Late Second Tier leopard Fierce Ghost in the soul flag.
Shen Kai himself only has Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but he can control the leopard soul of Late Second Tier, which is indeed something.
At this time, Shen Kai bared his teeth and said in flattery, "Young hero, my leopard is unruly and will only obey me. You release it and let me say a few nice words to it, making sure it obeys your instructions."
This guy knew that he was in the hands of the Immortal Dust Sect and had no chance to escape. He just wanted to perform well and try to save his life.
However, this kind of person must not be trusted. If he is allowed to work as an undercover agent, he may directly rebel.
Li Xiuchang ignored him and directly released the leopard Fierce Ghost.
As soon as the leopard soul came out, it roared at Li Xiuchang who was closest to it, and was about to pounce on it and bite it.
Shen Kai A flash of pride flashed in his eyes, but he didn't stop drinking.
He just wanted Li Xiuchang and others to experience the rebelliousness of the Leopard Soul.
Unexpectedly, facing the menacing Leopard Soul, Li Xiuchang just stared without saying a word. The Leopard Soul immediately collapsed and withered instantly.
"Woo~"
The Leopard Soul lay on the ground like a kitten, purring in a pleasing way.
Shen Kai was stunned, you Leopard Soul, you are so contrasting?
You have been following me for decades, and your flattering face has never appeared in front of me!
What a contrast!
Shen Kai has broken the defense.
On the other side, Mr. Elder Xu was amazed and praised, "I, Immortal Dust Sect, deserve to be the first place in the soul control competition. With this talent and affinity with ghosts, I am truly a born demon!"
Li Xiuchang Helpless, what kind of affinity!
He is a majestic fourth-level soul control master, but his look can't scare a second-level ghost, so why bother?
Li Xiuchang waved the soul flag, put away the leopard soul directly, and then threw Shen Kai into his Beast Taming Bag before saying goodbye and leaving.
Back to Eastern Geng District, he actually had nothing to prepare, so he directly told Senior Brother Mo about it.
For this Demonic Arts Convention, Senior Brother Mo specially rushed back from the Dark Heaven Realm.
After listening to Li Xiuchang's words, Mo Tu said, "The current official venue for Demonic Arts Convention is Corpse Burial Valley in the Western Region. However, the leaders of several other major demonic forces are still hesitant, so the final location has not been finalized yet."
Demonic leaders from all walks of life are willing to come to Demonic Arts Convention. One of the important conditions is that they must decide the final location.
For Xue Qingshan, Bloodthirsty Sect's newly appointed sect leader, the families don't actually have much trust.
Therefore, they refused to determine the location in advance to avoid being ambushed.
"The Western Region? That is Ascension Pavilion's territory. I don't know what measures Ascension Pavilion will take this time."
The apparent location of Demonic Arts Convention this time is actually in the Western Region, so Immortal Dust Sect is destined not to be Four Great Immortal Sects's counterweight to Devil Master this time.
Ascension Pavilion will probably be more active.
Mo Tu and Li Xiuchang left Sound Transmission Talisman for each other to facilitate contact at any time. Then Mo Tu took the first step and set off for Corpse Burial Valley.
Li Xiuchang brought two clones with him this time, just in case of emergency.
He sent both clones to second Dantian space.
The space there is large enough. Second Nascent Soul Clone fell asleep in it and continued to comprehend Equalizer Dao. Blood Diamond Clone practiced the skill of making weapons. When he was tired of forging, he would farm in it, combining work and rest.
Li Xiuchang followed Immortal Dust Sect's large army and set off on the flying building ship.
This time Immortal Dust Sect dispatched dozens of inner sect experts, led by five elders.
Although this lineup is not weak, it has obviously withdrawn its strength. Li Xiuchang guessed well. After all, they are on the Ascension Pavilion's territory. The main force must still be Ascension Pavilion's people.
Elder Xu didn't come, the person in charge was Elder Xiang.
Elder Xiang and Li Xiuchang left each other Sound Transmission Talisman.
When he got close to Corpse Burial Valley, he put Li Xiuchang down.
Li Xiuchang wants to leave the main force and go to Corpse Burial Valley alone.
But he is not really alone. Elder Liu is hiding in the dark, protecting Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang doesn't really need protection, which makes it difficult for him to move, but there is no good reason to refuse.
Li Xiuchang disguised himself as Shen Kai, released the second-level leopard soul, and rode the leopard soul towards Corpse Burial Valley.
Soon, he Divine Sense captured many passing demon cultivators.
As expected, these magic cultivators are all going to participate in Demonic Arts Convention!
"Old Ghost Shen!" Suddenly a voice came.
Li Xiuchang didn't realize at the first moment that he was calling him, but he saw a demon cultivator riding Tiger Spirit chasing after him, keeping pace with him.
"Old ghost Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to join in the fun!"
The demon cultivator riding Tiger Spirit was a sloppy middle-aged man with a broken hairline and a shiny forehead.
Li Xiuchang doesn't know the other person at all. At first glance, this person is not seeking revenge. He is probably a close friend of Shen Kai.
In order not to expose the secret, Divine Sense had to communicate with Shen Kai in Beast Taming Bag and ask him about the identity of the other party.
At the same time, he also said, "You are here too."
"Of course, Bloodthirsty Sect, the new sect leader, and several others have announced that as long as they come to participate, they will have fifty spiritual stones. Wouldn't you be a fool not to take advantage of this?"
Li Xiuchang I haven't heard of this, but Xue Qingshan can write a bad check, and he has no intention of cashing it anyway.
If you say too much, these demon cultivators don't believe it.
If you say too little, people will not want to come.
Fifty spirit stones, no more, no less, can indeed attract many middle- and low-level demon cultivators.
Within a moment, Li Xiuchang learned the identity of the sloppy demon cultivator from Shen Kai, and dealt with it casually according to Shen Kai's tone of voice.
But before he reached Corpse Burial Valley, three more demon cultivators greeted him and even came over to walk with him.
Li Xiuchang is completely fed up. He can barely cope with one person. Now he is dealing with four. How can he cope with it?
Sooner or later you will be exposed!
You can't tell, but this Shen Kai has a wide circle of friends and a lot of friends.
Moreover, they talked about the dirty deeds of male thieves and female prostitutes, which made Li Xiuchang, a pure and upright person, very uncomfortable.
"Shen Old Devil, do you remember that Desire Demon Sect's little coquettish hoof that you and I attacked from both sides?"
Li Xiuchang squeezed out a smile and chuckled, "Haha, of course I remember, that's called a run! It's really unforgettable."
Unexpectedly, the face of the person who spoke changed slightly, and he continued, "Later, that little coquettish hooves kept thinking about me and even looked for me several times. Did he look for you again?"
"Of course I have." Li Xiuchang dealt with it casually.
The man suddenly said, "The three of us have made an appointment. We still have things to do, so we should leave first."
After that, he took the other two people with him and left.
Li Xiuchang frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
He knew that his identity was probably exposed.
These people dare not expose him because they will pretend to be Shen Kai, most likely a disciple of Righteous Path.
If your identity is exposed at this time, you will most likely be silenced.
But how could Li Xiuchang let them go and said, "Three fellow Daoists, please stay."
The three of them froze, faintly feeling a murderous intent enveloped them.
If you take another step forward, you are likely to be attacked.
They had to stop and stopped pretending. The person who asked the question finally darkened his face and said in a cold voice, "You are not Shen Kai!"
Behind Li Xiuchang, the demon cultivator riding Tiger Spirit was stunned for a moment and said, "Did you three make a mistake?"
"You can't be wrong. The little coquettish hoof I just mentioned was killed after we played with it. Did you Shen Kai forget it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he adjusted his position, and together with the other two demon cultivators, they seemed to be surrounding Li Xiuchang.
The demon cultivator riding Tiger Spirit did not defend himself when he saw Li Xiuchang, and finally believed this fact.
"No wonder I just felt like something was wrong when I was chatting with him!"
"Who are you? What's the purpose of pretending to be Shen Old Devil?"
Li Xiuchang shook his head. "You are killing yourself, you can't blame me."
Having said that, contact Elder Liu secretly to take action.
I saw a flash of light and shadow passing by, and all four demon cultivators disappeared.
Elder Liu took action very neatly, leaving no trace at all on the scene.
At this time, Shen Kai in Beast Taming Bag was begging for mercy. It was the wrong information he gave that made Li Xiuchang's identity revealed.
Shen Kai regretted it endlessly. If he had known those demon cultivators were so stupid, he would not have done this.
Originally, I thought that after the demon cultivators realized something was wrong, they would hold their ground and wait until they found the demon master before revealing Li Xiuchang's identity.
But who would have thought that the three of them would immediately think of escaping, so that Li Xiuchang noticed the problem.
Li Xiuchang was just thinking about what to do with Shen Kai when he saw a blood demon cultivator walking towards him. When he saw Li Xiuchang, he said happily, "Shen Old Devil, long time no see..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiuchang had already chopped off his head with a sword.
At the same time, Shen Kai was directly sentenced to death.
This man has too many friends to be disguised.
However, those who were just kidnapped by Elder Liu are all the same as Shen Kai. Birds of a feather flock together, and their identities are also not suitable for use.
You should find someone with few friends or a bad temper, someone who no one will pick on you.
Li Xiuchang did not say more about his plans to Elder Liu, and continued to walk towards Corpse Burial Valley with Shen Kai's face on his face.
Fortunately, I haven't met any other acquaintances yet.
When Corpse Burial Valley was approaching, Elder Liu transmitted a message: "Corpse Burial Valley is protected by a formation. I can't follow you in. If you encounter danger inside, just crush Empathy Jade and ask for help. I will rush directly into the valley."
"Thank you Elder Liu."
Li Xiuchang walked towards Corpse Burial Valley alone, looking for a suitable candidate as he walked.
The closer to Corpse Burial Valley, the more demonic cultivators appeared.
In order not to attract more "friends", Li Xiuchang changed his appearance slightly.
Anyway, as long as you don't enter Corpse Burial Valley, no one will care about him. If you just enter Corpse Burial Valley, you must verify your identity.
Li Xiuchang wandered outside Corpse Burial Valley for a while, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man with an imposing appearance walking out.
When the demon cultivators around him saw him, they all got out of the way and seemed to be very afraid of him.
Li Xiuchang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
