Sect Mission

Xiao Yu looked at the cursing Bai Yue and said coldly, "I'll ask you one more time. Where is that bitch Ye Zhirou?"

Bai Yue glared furiously and cursed in exasperation, "How despicable!!! You actually..."

"You're that damned ant from yesterday? How are you still alive?"

"You piece of trash, you useless bastard!! Just wait until I recover my magic power—then I'll tear you to pieces!"

Xiao Yu sneered.

He grabbed Bai Yue by the hair and slammed her face onto the ground.

A breeze drifted past.

It lifted her skirt.

Sending it fluttering up and down.

Her screams rang out without end...

Not long after.

Xiao Yu returned outside in high spirits.

He shouldn't waste any more time on her for now.

He had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Although he was now at the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering.

Senior Sister Mei was in the Qi Refining Stage. She would likely come looking for him again!

Before he could pack up his belongings.

He heard footsteps approaching from outside the house.

Xiao Yu's face turned green.

Senior Sister Mei had really come!

She had even brought along an old woman at the Second Layer of Qi Refinement. They had clearly come prepared!

He immediately fled through the back window.

As he ran, he changed into another outfit and covered his face.

Then he turned and headed toward the guards at the gate.

When he arrived, he clasped his fists nervously and said, "Two senior brothers... Senior Sister Mei is hunting me down... Could you make an exception? I swear I'll be back before midnight!"

The leader smiled teasingly. "Kid, don't tell me you're trying to sneak down the mountain? The lackeys of the righteous path are still itching to catch us!"

"If you want to leave, wait at least three months! I don't care whether it's Senior Sister Mei or Senior Sister Hua!"

Seeing that he could not get out, Xiao Yu turned and left.

It seemed that if he wanted to escape today, he could only do so by taking on a sect mission.

It was simply too risky. Many mission locations had people from the righteous sects around.

One wrong move, and he could lose his life.

To accept a mission, he had to team up with others. There was no way he could leave alone.

This was still rather troublesome!

Arriving before the notice board, Xiao Yu slowly exhaled.

Quite a few missions and commissions had already been posted there.

Several Hehuan Sect cultivators were also browsing nearby.

Xiao Yu stepped forward and began looking through them as well.

[Spirit Beast Wanted] Seeking to purchase one first-rank Phoenix-Containing Bird. Reward: one bottle of second-grade Hehuan Powder and one inferior offensive magic artifact.

[Herb Gathering] Go to Jiangliu Mountain and collect ten fifty-year-old herbs. Variety does not matter. Reward: one Human Pill.

[Sect Mission] Kill three righteous-path cultivators to become an inner disciple.

[Seeking a Dao Partner] Senior Sister Huang, seventy years old and in the Qi Refining Stage, seeks an eighteen-year-old Dao partner. Gender unrestricted. No insincere applicants.

Just as Xiao Yu was examining the notices.

Bai Yue in the interrogation room gradually calmed down as well.

Recalling the disciples who had been killed.

Bai Yue's gaze darkened further.

She had to find a way to stay alive.

This idiot in the Body Tempering Stage was only a junior around twenty years old.

She could not keep cursing him...

Otherwise, her throat would hurt again later.

Bai Yue slowly exhaled. Her primordial yin was already gone.

What had happened had happened.

She had to survive and find a way to escape!

As long as she killed this trash, who would ever know about her involvement with the demonic path?

She had to find a way to leave. "Fellow Daoist... My tone was too harsh earlier. My sect was destroyed, and I truly could not contain my hatred..."

"I can see that you are a kind-hearted person, Fellow Daoist. Could you take me with you? As long as I return to righteous territory, I will absolutely treat you as an honored guest!"

Naturally, Xiao Yu knew this woman had no good intentions.

She still dared to fool him?

What, had this woman grown up drinking poisoned milk?

Was she stupid?

She wanted to play, did she?

Fine. They could play slowly~

"Ye Zhirou killed my friend A Xiang. If you want to live, tell me where she is!"

Hearing that, Bai Yue's voice suddenly softened considerably. "Young friend... I know you hate me! But you are also from the demonic path. What happened yesterday may have been a misunderstanding! You have already taken my primordial yin—that is something countless Golden Core Realm cultivators dream of obtaining!"

"If you still aren't satisfied... I am willing to teach you cultivation. I'll write down cultivation techniques for you! If I return to my sect, I'll definitely bring you countless treasures!!!"

Xiao Yu pursed his lips. After accepting a herb-gathering mission, he leaned against a broken fence nearby and waited.

This idiot.

Wouldn't it be better to slowly interrogate her and complete the system mission?

Besides, once her interrogation progress reached 100%, she would become his maid.

She would serve him for the rest of her life!

"Mm, Sect Master Bai truly is magnanimous. It's fine—we can slowly communicate tonight~ Don't be in such a hurry~"

"If you want me to take you away, then tell me where your disciple Ye Zhirou went."

Bai Yue softly exhaled. "Before the battle began yesterday, I sent my disciple to deliver a message to the Jade Maiden Sect's branch. She is likely not here."

Xiao Yu clenched his right fist.

That woman had killed him and A Xiang yesterday.

No matter what, he had to capture her!

She seemed to be in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Once he cultivated with this Innate Dharma Body for a while, he would go settle the score with her!

Just then, five Hehuan Sect disciples approached from ahead.

The leader was at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement, his black hair as tangled as weeds.

Seeing Xiao Yu accepting a mission, he sneered. "Even someone at the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering dares to take a mission now? Aren't you afraid of dying out there?"

Xiao Yu hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled. "Greetings, senior brothers... This junior pays his respects!"

The leader impatiently waved a hand. "Follow behind us. Once we get out, don't run around. Whoever gets caught by those dogs of the righteous path will bear the consequences himself!"

Then the group walked to the entrance.

The lead disciple released a long bamboo pole, which hovered in midair.

Xiao Yu stepped onto the bamboo pole.

Following those people, he flew away beneath the cover of night.

The sunset gradually faded, and the world darkened.

The river of stars glittered like woven silk as night fell.

Moonlight spilled across the vast land. Xiao Yu stood at the rear of the bamboo pole, looking around.

The mountain forest here was quiet, filled with birdsong and insect calls. Fierce beasts could faintly be sensed lurking nearby.

The place they were going to gather herbs was called Jiangliu Mountain.

Xiao Yu's expression was contemplative.

Looking at the Hehuan Sect cultivators on both sides, he wondered what opportunity he should find to escape later.

And where should he run afterward...

The only nearby city was Jiangliu City.

Was there anywhere more peaceful?

No one knew how long they had flown when one of the men ahead stretched lazily. "Why aren't we there yet? It's already dark. What if we run into people from the righteous path..."

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and did not wish to answer.

Seeing that Xiao Yu ignored him, the man sneered coldly. "I'm talking to you. A mere Seventh Layer of Body Tempering cultivator dares to take an herb-gathering mission outside? Don't tell me you're trying to take advantage of us brothers?"

"You think that just because you slipped into the team, you don't have to do any work?!"

The leader also spoke with a false smile. "Hehe, we're all from the same sect. Don't be so harsh. Junior brother, don't panic. This senior brother has a life-saving pill here. If you really encounter danger later and cannot win, you can take this..."

As he spoke, he took out a purple pill. Xiao Yu smiled slightly and stepped forward to accept it.

Did they think he was new?

This pill was a Bloodburst Pill. While it could briefly increase one's combat strength, it could also cause death from excessive blood loss.

Without at least a month or two of recovery afterward, there was no way to heal properly.

No wonder these bastards had brought him along. They wanted him to be cannon fodder...

Before long, Xiao Yu followed them to Jiangliu Mountain.

A cold wind howled across the mountain, where wild grass grew thickly.

Watching the others dig up herbs, Xiao Yu imitated them and began gathering some himself.

Running away now would surely mean death. He had to wait for the right opportunity.

Suddenly!

The man gathering herbs ahead let out a strange cry.

The others immediately tensed up.

Xiao Yu instinctively dropped to the ground and looked around.

The next second, he heard the man shout, "Not good! There are footprints!!"

Xiao Yu quickly crouched down.

His gaze continuously swept the surroundings as he waited for an opportunity to act.

The next moment, he saw three white-robed cultivators charging toward them with swords in hand.

Seeing this, the leader sneered, brought out a magic artifact, and shouted, "Dogs of the righteous path! You three dare come here to seek death?"

The three remained expressionless as they raised their hands and released their flying swords.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized.

Their left hands formed sword fingers before them, while their right hands were held at their sides.

"I am Lin Ce, chief inner disciple of the Profound Spirit Sect! You actually dared to destroy the Jade Maiden Sect—this is going too far!"

"Hehuan dogs, hurry up and die!!!"
