Chapter 1222 Ye Mengyao's Letter
"That's it!"
Xu Changshou reached out and took a red jade slip into his hand. This mission was to go to Mu Dong Divine City.
This mission allows you to earn merit points and visit your hometown at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Next, Xu Changshou hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took another red jade slip.
The task on this jade slip is to capture Situ Xuan alive.
According to the rules of the Mission Hall, each person who accepts a mission can accept a maximum of two missions at a time.
Whether you accept one task or two, it doesn't matter; you won't be punished for not completing them anyway.
Xu Changshou glanced at Yan Tianlu, placed both jade slips on the counter, and cupped his hands, saying, "Uncle-Master Yan, this disciple accepts these two tasks."
"Okay, give me the identity token!"
"Yes!"
Xu Changshou handed over the identity token.
After receiving Xu Changshou's identity token, Yan Tianlu took out a jade slip and recorded the task Xu Changshou had accepted. Then he handed over the identity token and the two red jade slips to Xu Changshou.
Yan Tianlu said solemnly, "Lin Gengxian, a traitor to the sect, stole the sect's most precious treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron. The Hunyuan Cauldron is a treasure for alchemy. If the Hunyuan Cauldron can be recovered, Lin Gengxian will be executed on the spot. If the Hunyuan Cauldron is lost, Lin Gengxian will be brought back to the sect alive. Otherwise, the mission will be invalid!"
"Disciple understands!"
Xu Changshou nodded solemnly.
No wonder this mission has 29 merit points; it turns out that the ultimate goal of this mission is to retrieve the Hunyuan Cauldron.
Whether or not Lin Gengxian is killed is secondary.
Yan Tianlu continued, "Your second task is to capture Situ Xuan alive. This boy disrespects his elders and has no regard for the law. If he dares to resist, kill him on the spot!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Xu Changshou's eyes.
Situ Xuan's crime was to show contempt for his elders and disregard the law.
This suggests that Situ Xuan did not commit any serious error; it's possible that someone is targeting him.
He didn't care whether anyone was after him or not; since he had accepted the mission, he would definitely not show any mercy if he encountered Situ Xuan.
Xu Changshou glanced at Yan Tianlu and asked, "Is there any clue as to where Situ Xuan went?"
"No leads! Go!"
Yan Tianlu waved his hand, signaling Xu Changshou to leave.
After leaving the mission hall, Xu Changshou did not return to his own dojo, but went to Liu Yuxian's dojo instead.
Liu Yuxian was the steward who helped him enter the Donghua Immortal Sect back then.
Back then, Situ Xuan, Li Feng, and Zhang Pu were all sent back to Zuofu Peak at the same time.
Zuo Fufeng was in charge of assigning positions to Liu Yuxian, and their repatriation must have been handed over to Liu Yuxian.
Situ Xuan has become a traitor to the sect, as have Li Feng and Zhang Pu. The two of them were Situ Xuan's followers before. Finding them might lead to Situ Xuan's whereabouts.
Therefore, Xu Changshou came to Liu Yuxian to ask where Li Feng and Zhang Pu had gone.
Soon, Xu Changshou arrived at Liu Yuxian's Taoist temple.
Is Liu Yuxian here?
"Who is it?"
"I am Xu Changshou!"
"Xu Changshou?"
Upon hearing Xu Changshou's name, Liu Yuxian hurriedly opened the door and greeted him with a broad smile.
Upon seeing Xu Changshou, Liu Yuxian bowed and said, "Disciple Liu Yuxian greets Martial Uncle Xu."
That's right. Liu Yuxian is the only person besides the Twenty-Eight Ancestors who knows Xu Changshou's identity. So, even though he is a cultivator at the Mahayana realm, he still has to call Xu Changshou "Uncle-Master".
Looking at Xu Changshou's cultivation level, Liu Yuxian was secretly surprised. He remembered that Xu Changshou had only been a disciple for a little over 1,400 years, yet his cultivation had actually broken through to the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. As expected of Lei Zu's disciple, his cultivation speed was unparalleled.
"Liu Yuxian, I ask you, do you know the whereabouts of Li Feng and Zhang Pu?" Xu Changshou asked with a smile.
Liu Yuxian thought for a moment and said, "Li Feng protected Situ Xuan and has been executed."
Where is Zhang Pu?
Xu Changshou was surprised, never expecting that Li Feng was already dead.
It seems that the menial disciples in the sect have no human rights, and the death of a menial disciple is nothing to them.
Liu Yuxian laughed and said, "I sent Zhang Pu to Miyun to mine."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou felt a chill run down his spine. Sure enough, Zhang Pu didn't have a good ending either; mining was no easy job.
Xu Changshou had heard of Miyun; it was located on the outer edge of the Chaos Sea, not far from the Donghua Immortal Sect, but it was a barren land.
"Is there a map?"
"Have!"
Liu Yuxian tossed Xu Changshou a jade map slip and pointed out Zhang Pu's location on the map.
Xu Changshou took the map, left Liu Yuxian's dojo, and went to the Horse Training Bureau, where he found Zhang Jieling.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I've taken on an outbound mission and need to leave for a while. I'd like to ask for your leave."
Xu Changshou found Zhang Jieling and explained his purpose.
He was a member of the Horse Training Bureau, which was under Zhang Jieling's jurisdiction. Naturally, he needed Zhang Jieling's permission to go out.
Hearing Xu Changshou's words, Zhang Jieling shook his head: "Junior Brother Xu, please don't make things difficult for me. You are the only horse trainer in our Horse Training Division. Whether or not I can let you go is not up to me. You have to go to Uncle Hua."
Zhang Jieling refused Xu Changshou, but he was very careful with his words. Now, the entire Sima Bureau knows that Xu Changshou has a relationship with Venerable Guye, and no one dares to offend him.
"Okay, I'll go find Master Hua."
Xu Changshou arrived at Hua San Niang's Taoist temple again.
"Disciple Xu Changshou greets Martial Uncle Hua."
"Xu Changshou is here! Come in quickly!"
Hua San Niang was even more enthusiastic, personally coming out to greet Xu Changshou and warmly inviting him into the main hall.
At this moment, Ye Mengyao was also in the main hall. After glancing at Ye Mengyao, Xu Changshou discovered that Ye Mengyao's cultivation had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
"Congratulations, congratulations on your breakthrough, Junior Sister Ye."
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xu. It's all thanks to you."
Ye Mengyao said with a big smile.
Xu Changshou nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on Hua Sanniang. He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle-Master Hua, I have accepted a mission and would like to be away for a while. What do you think..."
Hua San Niang laughed: "The Horse Breeding Bureau has no horses to train. You can go out whenever you want. If you want to go out in the future, you don't need to come to me. As long as you can come back once every three to five hundred years, your salary will still be paid."
"Thank you very much, Martial Uncle Hua!"
Xu Changshou was overjoyed, never expecting that Hua Sanniang would be so easy to talk to.
"Disciple takes leave."
"Go, Mengyao."
"The disciple is here."
"Please see Xu Changshou off for me."
"Yes!"
Xu Changshou and Ye Mengyao walked out of Hua San Niang's dojo side by side.
Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Junior Sister Mengyao, I'm taking on a mission this time and I'll be passing by Mu Dong Divine City. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Are you going back to Mu Dong Shen City?"
"Yes!"
Ye Mengyao was overjoyed and said, "Could you help me deliver a letter to my aunt?"
"of course can!"
"Wait for me!"
Ye Mengyao returned to her dojo, and soon came back to give Xu Changshou a letter.
Xu Changshou glanced at it...
Respectfully submitted by granddaughter Ye Mengyao:
To my dear great-aunt Ye Jingwan.
