Chapter 75: A New Mission

Zhang Chen also sensed the divine sense sweeping past him, but he remained calm.

With the Yin Energy Isolating Technique, his cultivation aura was isolated. Unless he used magic, someone with a cultivation level higher than him could sense him using divine sense.

Even if he was discovered, the Blood Escape Technique of their Blood God Sect was known for its speed, so escaping would not be a problem.

The Imperial Preceptor stood proudly in the void, his robes fluttering. With the silver moon behind him, he was like a celestial being descended to the world, as he used his magic power to spread his voice.

“You can rest assured that the reinforcements from the Silver Moon Sect will arrive soon and will be able to protect the entire Shanyue kingdom.” “It’s an immortal!” The people knelt down and worshiped.

The Imperial Preceptor’s immortal appearance quickly calmed the anxious people of Xingyue City down.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen was quite envious: “Unfortunately, I have already embarked on the path of demons and am destined to be a demon king.”

The Imperial Preceptor only stayed for a moment before returning to the formation.

Several hours later, fifty miles away from Xingyue City, Zhang Chen stood in place, seeming to be waiting for someone.

After a while, a blood shadow flew over and directly entered Zhang Chen’s body.

Then, two, three, four, and continuously more blood shadows flew over in succession.

These were the Blood God Sons who had previously fled in all directions.

After all the Blood God disciples had returned to his body, Zhang Chen did not linger and used the Flying Feather Soaring Technique to fly towards the direction of the Blood God Sect.

At the border of Shanyue Kingdom, two men wearing Silver Moon Sect clothes watched Zhang Chen fly by.

“Senior brother, a Foundational Establishment cultivator just flew by.”

“If it’s not the Blood Escape Technique, don’t pay attention to it. The disciples of the Blood God Sect can only use the Blood Escape Technique.”

“Understood.”

After traveling a hundred miles away from Shanyue Kingdom, Zhang Chen changed back into the Blood God Sect’s authentic clothing and used the Blood Escape Technique to hurry on his way.

Two days later, he arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall of the Blood God Sect.

“I failed the mission, please register it,” Zhang Chen’s tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness as he handed over his identity card and mission jade slip.

The Internal Affairs disciple carefully took the registration and asked, “May I ask, senior brother, what caused you to fail the mission?”

“The disciples of the Silver Moon Sect in Shanyue Kingdom had a cultivation base of nine levels of Qi Refinement, far beyond my strength,” Zhang Chen replied truthfully.

“I will report this to the sect, and Senior Brother will receive the punishment result and new mission arrangement within three days.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Zhang Chen didn’t care too much. Although he would be punished for failing the mission, the punishment would not be too severe, in order to prevent disciples from deserting due to mission failure.

If the mission information was incorrect, the punishment could even be waived.

Zhang Chen’s mission was to make Shanyue Kingdom submit again, but there might be interference from the righteous Silver Moon Sect.

Everyone knew that this kind of mission could not be completed by a cultivator of only one level of Qi Refinement, but the information was not wrong, so the punishment could not be canceled.

The person who arranged the mission had already prevented this kind of situation from happening.

After Zhang Chen left, an Internal Affairs disciple handed over the mission card to Shen Gengyuan.

“Senior Brother Shen, the mission you arranged failed.”

Shen Gengyuan took the jade slip and looked at it, without any surprise. This kind of mission was one where even someone with nine levels of Qi Refinement might not be able to survive.

“Go tell Wen Xiaosu, the mission failed, but the person is not dead. Should we continue with the arrangement?”

“Yes.” The Internal Affairs disciple hurriedly left.

Soon, the internal disciple came back and said, “Senior Brother Shen, Senior

Brother Wen is not within the sect.”

“Not here?” Shen Gengyuan frowned. “When did he leave the sect?”

“Six days ago.”

“Six days ago? Wasn’t that the time when Zhang Chen went on his mission?” Shen Gengyuan’s expression became serious.

After a moment of silence, Shen Gengyuan spoke up, “Zhang Chen’s mission failed. He’s being punished with a hundred bowls of blood essence, and he’ll be assigned a new mission.”

“Understood.” The internal disciple bowed and left.

Three days passed quickly.

“Senior Brother Zhang, are you there?”

Zhang Chen walked out of his cave and saw that it was an internal sect disciple who had come, so he already knew why he was there.

“Senior Brother Zhang, your mission failed, and the sect punishes you with a hundred bowls of blood essence, and also assigns you a new mission.” The internal sect disciple took out a blood storage bottle and a mission jade slip.

Zhang Chen first took the jade slip and checked the mission.

Two Qi Refinement stage rogue cultivators had killed a Blood God Sect disciple and fled to a neighboring demonic sect, the White Bone Hall’s territory. His mission was to pursue and bring back the blood of the two individuals within six months.

This mission was in line with his cultivation level.

Zhang Chen nodded and put away the mission jade slip, then took out the blood storage bottle and poured out a hundred bowls of blood to hand over to the Internal Affairs disciple.

He had killed Wen Xiaosu and Wang, and obtained their blood essence. Even with the loss of a Blood God Son in Shanyue Kingdom, the consumption of some blood essence, plus a penalty of one hundred bowls, he still made a big profit.

“Then I won’t bother you, Brother Zhang,” said the Internal Affairs disciple, who took the blood essence and left after bowing.

The next day, Zhang Chen left the Sect and went to the territory of the neighboring White Bone Hall.

The territory of the White Bone Hall was not small, and it was not easy to find two wandering cultivators.

Fortunately, the two itinerant cultivators had a blood curse on them, and he could sense them when he got close within a hundred miles.

Ten days later, blood light flashed, and Zhang Chen landed in front of a big river.

On the surface, it looked like a surging river, but it was actually an illusion formation.

With his spiritual eye and illusion-breaking ability, he could vaguely see that it was a market.

And according to the sensing of the blood curse, the two wandering cultivators who killed the Blood God Sect disciples were hiding inside.

Since he came to the market, he naturally wanted to go in and take a look.

Zhang Chen walked towards the river and suddenly the scenery changed. The sound of waves turned into the sound of vendors and towering buildings surrounding him.

“Sir, this is the market of the White Bone Hall. You need to pay a spirit stone to enter.” Two guards at the entrance bowed respectfully.

“Okay.” Zhang Chen handed over a spirit stone to the guards without hesitation.

“Please, sir.”

Meanwhile, two Qi Refinement level nine itinerant cultivators in an inn in the market were frowning.

The two looked extremely alike, presumably twin brothers.

The younger brother said, “Brother, we have to pay one spirit stone every day in the market. How long can we hide?”

“I have already asked someone for a way to lift the blood curse. If we can get rid of it, we won’t have to worry about being chased by the Blood God Sect anymore.” The older brother was more composed.

“If only we knew earlier, we shouldn’t have attacked the Blood God Sect disciple for a demon beast.” The younger brother was full of regret.

“At this point, there’s no use saying anything. Nobody knew that the Blood God Sect disciple would use the Blood Ignition Technique.” The older brother was helpless.

On the other side, Zhang Chen was wandering around in the market.

His advantage was having a modifier that allowed him to ignore the side effects of cultivation methods. Therefore, his first target was the stall selling spells.

Soon, he saw a spell that interested him.

‘The Unbounded Demon Sutra’ can help one transform into the appearance of another person, without any flaws.

The drawback is gradually losing memory and forgetting one’s previous identity.

In other words, after becoming another person, as time goes by, one would forget who they are.

“How much does this ‘The Unbounded Demon Sutra’ cost?” Zhang Chen asked.

The vendor replied, “300 spirit stones.”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chen bargained, “Will you sell it for 200 spirit stones?”

The vendor became a little impatient, “The lowest is 260 spirit stones..”
