Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“My branch is in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall. You have been promoted to the direct disciple for three years and can now be assigned to tasks within the sect. If you don’t want to be assigned dangerous tasks, then obediently hand over 300 bowls of essence blood to ,” Wen Xiaosu continued to threaten.
300 bowls of blood essence were roughly equivalent to the essence blood of a cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refinent.
“You can’t threaten ,” Zhang Chen replied coldly.
With his current strength, he could fight an eighth level Foundation Establishnt cultivator. As long as he did not encounter a Golden Core cultivator, he would have no problem protecting himself outside the sect.
Wen Xiaosu was only at the third level of Foundation Establishnt, so there was no need for him to bow his head in fear.
“Alright, we’ll see.” Wen Xiaosu glared fiercely at Zhang Chen and turned to leave.
Zhang Chen looked at the distant blood light in the sky, his eyes full of cold killing intent.
Wen Xiaosu was a disciple of the Blood God Sect Master. Their branch was in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall.
The Internal Affairs Hall was of great importance. In order to maintain the operation of the sect, people without managent skills would not be able to participate in the affairs of the Internal Affairs Hall.
Although Wen Xiaosu was not qualified to manage the matters of the Internal Affairs Hall, he still had a say in so matters.
After leaving Zhang Chen’s cave, Wen Xiaosu went directly to the Internal Affairs Hall.
“Who is on duty today?” Wen Xiaosu asked an Internal Affairs disciple.
“It’s Shen Gengyuan, Senior Brother Shen,” the Internal Affairs disciple replied respectfully.
“So it’s Fifth Senior Brother. Report that 19th Junior Brother, Wen Xiaosu, requests an audience.”
“Senior Brother Wen, wait a mont. I’ll go report now.”
“Hurry up.”
The Internal Affairs disciple left in a hurry and quickly returned. “Senior Brother Wen, I’ll take you to the back hall to see Senior Brother Shen.” “Lead the way.” Wen Xiaosu followed him to the back hall.
The front hall of the Internal Affairs Hall was where other disciples received missions and resources, while the back hall was where Internal Affairs disciples handled matters.
When they arrived at the innermost hut, the Internal Affairs disciple respectfully called out, “Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Wen is here.”
“19th Junior Brother, co in.”
In a small room at the very end, there were books and jade slips everywhere. In the center was a man with a gentle temperant, like a scholar, sitting in front of a desk writing sothing.
Such a temperant was incompatible with that of the Blood God Sect, because before joining the Blood God Sect, he was originally a scholar.
Reading books can alleviate so of the ntal side effects to a certain extent.
“Greetings, Fifth Senior Brother.” Wen Xiaosu hurriedly bowed.
Shen Gengyuan put down his brush and looked up. “19th Junior Brother, is there sothing you need from ?”
“Fifth Senior Brother, I want to ask for your help to arrange a sect mission for soone. After that, I’m willing to pay you back with 100 bowls of blood essence,” Wen Xiaosu explained his purpose for coming.
“What’s his identity and na?” Shen Gengyuan asked casually.
Wen Xiaosu replied, “The direct disciple who was promoted three years ago,
Zhang Chen.”
“Now that he’s been promoted to direct disciple for more than three years, he can indeed be assigned a sect mission. What mission do you want him to be assigned?” Shen Gengyuan said indifferently.
Wen Xiaosu grinned hideously. “The more difficult and dangerous it is, the better.’
“So soone offended you.” Shen Gengyuan smiled.
“Thank you, Fifth Senior Brother.” Wen Xiaosu’s smile was especially sinister.
Shen Gengyuan nodded and waved his hand. A jade slip flew into his hand and pressed against his forehead for a mont.
“I’ve found a suitable mission. Shanyue Kingdom is one of the small countries that has submitted to our Blood God Sect. They’ve always provided the sect with dicinal herbs and disciples with spiritual roots.
However, after the new king ascended the throne two years ago, he no longer offered tributes. He announced that he had joined the righteous Immortal Sect, the Silver Moon Sect, and cut ties with our Blood God Sect from now on.
The sect planned to send people to recapture the Shanyue Kingdom because the Silver Moon Sect had sent disciples to guard the Shanyue Kingdom. They originally wanted a direct disciple at the ninth level of Foundation Establishnt to go.
However, since 19th Junior Brother has spoken, let’s arrange for Zhang Chen to
“Thank you, Fifth Senior Brother.”
Wen Xiaosu was all smiles. Although he had paid the price of a hundred bowls of blood essence, he believed that he could earn it back from Zhang Chen.
‘When the ti cos, 300 bowls won’t be enough. I’ll need at least 500 bowls of blood essence!’
The life-saving ability of the Blood God Sect was too strong. With his third level Foundation Establishnt cultivation, it was very difficult for him to kill Zhang Chen. Therefore, he could only manipulate the missions to prove that he could control them.
Missions did not necessarily have to be completed, but there would be punishnt for failure and reassignnt to other missions.
Since he could manipulate one mission, he could naturally manipulate others as well.
In his view, Zhang Chen was a newly promoted direct disciple with few connections and was likely to bow his head and compensate for blood essence.
rlhvvo days later, a disciple of the Internal Affairs Hall ca to Zhang Chen’s cave abode. “Is Senior Brother Zhang here?”
“What is it?” Zhang Chen asked calmly.
“This is a mission arranged by the sect for you. Senior Brother Zhang, please take a look.” The disciple of the Internal Affairs Hall respectfully handed over a jade slip.
Zhang Chen took the jade slip and checked it against his forehead.
Just two days after Wen Xiaosu’s threat, the sect mission ca.
Zhang Chen understood that this was obviously Wen Xiaosu’s doing.
As for the content of the mission, it only stated that he needed to make the Shanyue Kingdom submit again and that there might be interference from the Silver Moon Sect.
It was not difficult to force Shanyue Kingdom to pay tribute to the Blood God
Sect, but the difficult thing was dealing with interference from the Silver Moon Sect. This clearly exceeded the ability of ordinary first level Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
“Senior Brother Zhang, the mission is urgent. Please go to the Internal Affairs Hall to collect the sect token and map in three days and head to Shanyue Kingdom,” the disciple continued.
Zhang Chen remained calm on the surface. “Alright, I understand.”
“Then I won’t disturb Senior Brother Zhang anymore.” The Internal Affairs Hall disciple bowed and left.
At this mont, a blood light flew over and landed in front of Zhang Chen.
Wen Xiaosu, with a smug look on his face, looked at the jade slip in Zhang Chen’s hand. “Junior Brother Zhang, did you receive the mission? Do you rember what I said?
“I’ll give you one last chance, but it’s now 500 bowls of blood essence now. As long as you give 500 bowls of blood essence, I’ll help you change the mission, and Xu Yixian’s matter will be written off.”
“No need. I don’t think this mission is difficult,” Zhang Chen said casually and turned around to return to the cave abode.
“You’re courting death!” Wen Xiaosu’s expression was ugly. Originally, he only wanted to use Xu Yixian’s death to extort a sum of money, but now he really hated Zhang Chen.
He had spent 100 bowls of blood essence to arrange Zhang Chen’s mission, which was likely to be a total waste now.
To continue arranging missions, he would have to spend blood essence.
Suddenly, Zhang Chen stopped in his tracks, as if he had thought of sothing. He turned around again and deliberately taunted Wen Xiaosu.
“Senior Brother Wen, I’ll leave the sect tomorrow. If you have the ability, follow and personally take the blood essence from my body. Take as much as you want.”
“Good, very good. You’ve only just been promoted for three years. I want to see what you have to dare to provoke !”
Wen Xiaosu was furious. He gritted his teeth and did not want to say anything else. He turned into a bloody light and left.
“Senior Brother Wen, rember to look for outside the sect tomorrow!” Zhang Chen deliberately shouted, continuing to anger Wen Xiaosu.
Looking at the departing bloody light, Zhang Chen whispered expectantly, “I hope you really co to find tomorrow.”
Most of the Blood God Sect’s disciples’ ntal state was abnormal. Therefore, Zhang Chen tried to anger him and see if he could resolve this future problem tomorrow..
