Courtesy Demands a Return in Kind
"I didn't expect to trigger a trial mission."
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly.
The last time it was triggered was because of something related to the Devil Sect.
"But this name..."
Just by looking at the task name, you really can't figure it out.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi began to examine the specific information about the trial mission:
[Trial Introduction]: It is impolite not to reciprocate. Be a courteous person and give the Cloud Heaven Holy Land a head-on blow.
[Trial Requirements]: Launch a substantial attack on the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
[Trial Restrictions]: Must be completed within one month; must be completed by the individual or their disciple; only the strongest strike will be counted.
[Task Rewards]: Starting from 8000 experience points, the content and quantity of rewards will be distributed according to the intensity of the crackdown.
"Hiss."
Lu Changzhi took a light breath.
The content is not complicated; it's just a brief overview of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
But this reward is truly astonishing.
Guaranteed at least 8,000 experience points.
Compared to the previous trial mission.
That's equivalent to killing at least eighty Blood Devil.
It's not that I didn't get more experience points at once.
But starting at such a high level is quite unexpected.
It's a pity that the details of the reward weren't mentioned.
Lu Changzhi said softly.
However, intuitively speaking, since the starting experience points are so high, the specific content and quantity should also be quite good.
Retracting his attention from the trial mission, Lu Changzhi continued to look at the sky above the sect.
"Since it's a head-on attack..."
Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on the Holy Lord.
A head-on blow, a crushing blow to the Holy Lord who is the head of the Holy Land, would be just right.
Lu Changzhi opened the Holy Lord's information page, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.
"As for the Holy Lord, his status is sufficient, but his cultivation level..."
Having only reached the Dao Comprehension Realm is somewhat insufficient, to be honest.
Lu Changzhi shook his head and didn't continue considering it.
With only one chance for evaluation, it's natural to take it into consideration.
The optimal solution is to achieve the greatest result with the least effort.
Although the mission period wasn't long, it still lasted about a month.
Pulling his thoughts back, Lu Changzhi turned his gaze to the field.
During the brief moment of distraction, the two sides negotiated again.
Naturally, it was not primarily due to the dominance of the Five Symbols Sect.
On the contrary, Cang Wenyu acted very obediently.
Right now, some disciples of the Five Symbols Sect are beginning to venture out.
"Is this... a plan to poach talent?"
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
The last time the Cloud Heaven Holy Land sent people, I later heard from Cang Wenyu that it was also to conduct reconnaissance.
Otherwise, there's no need to deliberately bring out all the Five Symbols Sect disciples right now.
Suddenly, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred, and he looked towards the flying boat where the people from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land were located.
"Could it be that this Cloud Heaven Holy Land has tasted the benefits because of Luo Zhen?"
Luo Zhen, who is outwardly Gold and Jade on the Outside, was among the first group to enter the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range to search for treasure, just like Qin Jiuxiao.
This demonstrates the importance the holy site places on it.
After only a few glances, Lu Changzhi's gaze faltered.
"As expected, it must be."
Ironically, among the people from the Holy Land, the only junior accompanying them was Luo Zhen.
"Good."
Lu Changzhi spoke softly, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't know the reason, he was still very pleased to see that Luo Zhen was being treated so well by the Holy Land.
If he weren't currently out of Talent Enhancement, he would definitely have given Luo Zhen another boost.
Perhaps, it can even help me complete the trial mission later.
As Lu Changzhi sized up the people from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
Outside the Five Symbols Sect, however, there was an eerie quiet.
The people from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land made their request and then said nothing more.
The Azure Cloud Sect members following behind also watched quietly, without uttering a sound.
"It seems we'll have to look for someone within the Five Symbols Sect."
An elder from the Azure Cloud Sect spoke up.
Some of the Azure Cloud Sect elders had rather unpleasant expressions.
If you've forgotten, then just pretend you've forgotten. What you fear most is encountering something that seems familiar.
Because the outstanding disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, whom they valued highly, had previously been taken to the Cloud Heaven Holy Land for joint training.
Standing on one side of the sacred flying boat, Yuan Hou looked at the scene before him, and for some reason, felt a little worried.
The Holy Lord's domineering nature had already been clearly revealed.
This made him feel a little regretful.
I should have known better than to rush things.
But all of this has already happened, and it's too late for regrets.
Just now, Cang Wenyu's attitude seemed to him to be somewhat of a deliberate attempt to ingratiate himself.
If the Five Symbols Sect seizes this opportunity...
After all, in the eyes of the Holy Lord, his identity as the Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect could probably be changed at will.
Upon realizing this, Yuan Hou's heart became even more unsettled.
At this moment, he desperately needed an opportunity.
An opportunity to fan the flames.
Unfortunately, things are so calm right now; we can only keep waiting.
An eerily calm prevailed.
Below, more and more disciples of the Five Symbols Sect gathered.
The elders from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land all probed with their thoughts.
Even the Holy Lord looked down at the group of the Five Symbols Sect disciples below.
I observed this for some time.
The Holy Lord looked away, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Having seen so many outstanding disciples from the Holy Land, the disciples of the Five Symbols Sect now seem like worthless trash, not worth even looking at.
Although some of them were barely qualified, that was all.
He did not continue investigating at that moment.
Such a disciple is not worth his energy.
His original purpose in coming here was mainly to see if he would be lucky enough to find a special genius like Luo Zhen.
However, such matters should be handled by Zhou Chang, who is accompanying the group.
"Elder Zhou, how much longer?"
The Holy Lord inquired via telepathy.
"Soon," Zhou Chang replied.
His eyes flashed with light as he quickly swept over the disciples of the Five Symbols Sect below.
However, despite the speed, no results were achieved.
At first glance, it has nothing particularly unique about it.
"For a place like the Eastern Region to produce a genius like Luo Zhen, it must have already exhausted all its luck."
Zhou Chang knew in his heart that this trip would likely yield no results.
Everything was proceeding silently.
Most of the elders of the Five Symbols Sect were now looking down at their disciples.
Their faces showed a variety of emotions, including worry, tension, fear, and uncertainty.
And so, a while passed.
The light in Zhou Chang's eyes faded, he shook his head slightly, and transmitted his voice:
"The Holy Lord has no unique individual."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord closed his eyes slightly.
After a moment, he spoke:
Let's go.
Without any promising successors, there is no value.
It's useless to keep it.
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out:
"Holy Lord, please wait."
"My Lord, one person is missing here."
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
The former was exactly what Cang Wenyu said at the beginning.
The latter came from the flying boat.
The speaker was none other than Luo Zhen.
"Someone is missing?"
The Holy Lord turned to look at Luo Zhen, and then Luo Zhen said:
"Lu Changzhi, the peak master of Hidden Origin Peak, has not come out."
