C48 Sect Mission

The next morning, Duanmu Kuang got up early and said goodbye to his senior brothers who were out on business. He went straight to the Assignment Hall where the sect gave out missions. The Assignment Hall was built halfway up the mountain and was not very far away. Duanmu Kuang asked around for directions from the other disciples along the way, and it only took him a quarter of an hour to reach this place.

This was a very small courtyard, and there was a plaque with the words' Mission Hall 'hung at the entrance of the courtyard. Duanmu Kuang took a look and saw that it was correct, then walked in.

Although it was early in the morning, there were many disciples who came here to accept missions. Most of them were outer sect disciples, and there were very few inner sect disciples. As for the higher level core disciples and true disciples, Duanmu Kuang looked around but didn't see any. He couldn't help but suspect.

When he asked around, he found out that the sect had given a lot of cultivation resources to the higher ranked disciples. They usually didn't bother to accept these low-level missions, but when the big bounty missions appeared... And those who usually came here to accept missions... Basically, they were all outer sect disciples. After all, the resources given to the outer sect disciples by the sect were too little. It was simply not enough for their daily cultivation. They could only come here to accept these low-level missions to earn origin stone.

After Duanmu Kuang understood the situation, he followed the crowd and slowly walked into a room in a line. Inside was the place where the missions were distributed. A Deacon with thin eyebrows and sharp cheeks sat in front of a table. It was registering and giving out missions for the disciples who came to accept the mission.

This Deacon had a harsh expression on his face. His attitude towards the inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples was completely different. He was very polite to the inner sect disciples who came to accept the missions, but he changed his attitude towards the outer sect disciples. He didn't hide the contempt in his words, he just stood there and pointed his finger at them. He wanted to make things difficult for them.

This was another person who looked down on others. Duanmu Kuang frowned when he saw this. However, he had long since gotten used to it. The world of martial artists respected martial arts. It wasn't strange that this Deacon would treat an outer sect disciple who had no future prospects like this. As long as he didn't provoke him, he wouldn't care.

After a while, it was Duanmu Kuang's turn. The Deacon looked at the sect logo on Duanmu Kuang's clothes, then said casually, "Report your name and cultivation base, and see if there are any missions suitable for you."

Name? Duanmu Kuang was puzzled. According to what Zhang Chen and the others said, they would report their cultivation base as soon as they entered. They had to wait until they had confirmed which mission they would accept before registering their names. However, this Deacon asked for his name as soon as it opened its mouth. However, he quickly changed his mind and answered concisely, "Duanmu Kuang, Mid Xiantian."

"You are Duanmu Kuang?" The Deacon had a big reaction. It stood up from the chair. There was excitement on his face, but he quickly sat down again. Apparently, it had found its embarrassing state. After a while, it smiled and said to Duanmu Kuang, "This is for you. It contains detailed information about the mission. You can just use your Divine Sense to check it." After saying that, the Deacon handed over a small crystal ball to him.

Although the Deacon's reaction after hearing his name was very strange, Duanmu Kuang did not think too much about it. He put the crystal ball in his arms, turned around, and walked out. Not long after he left, that Deacon took out an acoustic jade. He secretly sent out a message.

In the courtyard of the Five Mountain Sect's Nan Feng, a few disciples were sitting in a pavilion. One of them was sitting in the main seat while the rest were sitting below him. This man was wearing clothes with five silver mountains embroidered on it. He was actually a core disciple. However, his expression was filled with impatience, as if he was waiting for something.

If Duanmu Kuang was here, he would be able to recognize that Chen Ming and Lee Cheng were among them. They remained silent, as if they were afraid of disturbing the core disciple sitting in the middle.

At this moment, the core disciple's acoustic jade started glowing. After checking it out, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared. He laughed out loud and said to Chen Ming, "Junior disciple Chen, it's all thanks to your brilliant plan this time. Just now, I heard from Yu Deacon that... He had already given the task that only core disciples could accept to Duanmu Kuang. This time, I want to see how this kid will die. He actually wants to touch Junior Sister Zhong. "

Chen Ming hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands at him." I dare not. It is my honor to be able to serve senior disciple Wang. Senior disciple, please rest assured. Duanmu Kuang will definitely die this time. Junior Sister Zhong will never suspect senior disciple. "

" Duanmu Kuang, this hillbilly brat, actually wants to eat swan meat. He deserves to die. "

"That's right. He also wants to see who he is. Junior Sister Zhong is like a fairy. How can he be worthy of her?"

"That's right. In my opinion, only a genius like Senior Brother Wang is worthy of Junior Sister Zhong."

The other people also started to flatter her. The smile on this core disciple's face became even wider. He exchanged cups with them as if Duanmu Kuang was already a dead man.

Of course, Duanmu Kuang did not know all of this. After accepting the mission, he returned to his room and used his Divine Sense to check the crystal ball. After understanding the mission information, he packed his things and went on his way.

...

Three days later, on the official road leading to Ye City, a red horse was carrying a person on its back as it galloped like a shooting star. Its speed was so fast that no one could see it clearly. They only felt a flash of red light. They could only see a shadow quickly disappearing from the distance.

On the horse, Duanmu Kuang was covered in dust. He had been on the road for three days and was still a hundred miles away from the destination, Land City. With the speed of the Scarlet Flame Horse, he could arrive very quickly.

This Scarlet Flame Horse was a kind of mount that was domesticated by the Five Mountain Sect. It was different from ordinary horses. It was a type of Profound Beast, equivalent to a human Xiantian realm martial artist. It could travel 10,000 miles a day. Although the Five Mountain Sect had a higher level mount, a higher level mount was not something Duanmu Kuang could ride. Outer sect disciples could only ride a Scarlet Flame Horse when they were out on a mission.

But even so, Duanmu Kuang had gotten addicted to it. He had completely experienced the feeling of the wind and the lightning. Because the Scarlet Flame Horse's speed was really too fast, as if it was going to fly. It made him childish, and he didn't feel bored even after a few days of traveling.

"The sound of horse hooves rang in his ears, and was immediately blown away by the wind. As the horse hooves passed by, dust rose up behind him in a straight line. The Scarlet Flame Horse carried Duanmu Kuang forward like a tornado, and Ye City's shadow could be vaguely seen in front of them.

"Contact..." Duanmu Kuang urged his horse to slow down. He was afraid that if he slowed down too close to the Scarlet Flame Horse, he would bump into the city wall. Not long after, Duanmu Kuang rode the Scarlet Flame Horse to the city gate of Ye City.

Ye City could only be considered a small city in Zhennan Hou's fiefdom. It was about thirty thousand miles away from the Five Mountain Sect, and there were hundreds of thousands of people there. The one with the highest cultivation base was the city lord of Ye City. It was said that the city lord of Ye City had a cultivation base of early Essence Opening Stage. Duanmu Kuang's mission this time was to go to a small family in Ye City that was attached to the Five Mountain Sect to protect a girl. He wanted to kill the person who wanted to secretly capture this girl.

Looking at the flow of people at the city gate, Duanmu Kuang dismounted and followed the flow of people into the city. Duanmu Kuang's arrival naturally attracted the attention of the stream of people. Although he was covered in dust, it did not conceal his handsome face. Furthermore, he wore the uniform of a sect and was holding a Scarlet Flame Horse in his hand. He naturally had an extraordinary aura.

The people who came and went couldn't help but look at him a few more times. When they saw his sect uniform clearly, they showed even more respect. Although many of these people were ordinary people, they had heard of a big sect like the Five Mountain Sect. The disciples of the Five Mountain Sect often came out to carry out missions. Therefore, they weren't unfamiliar with the five big mountains of the Five Mountain Sect.

No one dared to get too close to Duanmu Kuang, as if they were afraid of disturbing him. Even the guards who were guarding the gate bowed and greeted him. One of the guards looked at Duanmu Kuang's clothes and revealed a serious expression.

Duanmu Kuang touched his nose. He had never thought of the identity of a disciple of Five Mountain Sect. There was actually such a huge deterrent force outside, and he was also an outer circle disciple. What he didn't know was that in the eyes of these people, it didn't matter what level of disciple you were, as long as you were a disciple of the Five Mountain Sect... That was something that couldn't be provoked. What they feared was the Five Mountain Sect. It was not his identity as an outer circle disciple.
