Lin Changkong looked at the woman who had spoken and frowned slightly.
Ling Fei's expression was equally grim, but he was not as rude as the woman. Instead, he said, "Liu Lingling, mind your manners!"
Only then did he continue to Lin Changkong, "Junior Brother Lin, don't take it to heart. This matter is truly urgent. The message we sent back to the sect stated that a Demonic Beast of the Core Formation Realm was highly likely to appear, so we asked the sect to dispatch a Core Formation Realm disciple to guard Fengling Pass.
Junior Brother, you just said you were at the Qi Gathering Eighth Level, so naturally we were puzzled."
"The Core Formation Realm?"
Lin Changkong was also taken aback. The task Yun Yang had conveyed to him said that a disciple with peak Qi Gathering Realm combat strength would be enough.
Seeing that Lin Changkong was confused as well, Ling Fei said, "That's right. The message I sent clearly requested a Core Formation Realm disciple. What, could it be that the message Junior Brother Lin received was different?"
Lin Changkong said, "The person who conveyed the task to me said that you needed a disciple with peak Qi Gathering Realm combat strength to assist in guarding Fengling Pass, not someone in the Core Formation Realm."
"How could that be possible! I personally sent the message back. How could it be wrong? How did Li Changshan arrange this task?"
Ling Fei also looked baffled.
"What did you say? Li Changshan was the one who arranged this sect task?" Lin Changkong looked at Ling Fei.
Ling Fei nodded. "That's right. Sect missions for disciples are generally arranged by the disciple affairs officials. Li Changshan is currently in charge of assigning sect missions. Is there a problem?"
