Chapter 215 Unexpected Mission Rewards: Internal Strife within the Demonic Path
Chapter 215 Unexpected Mission Rewards: Internal Strife within the Demonic Path
As the head of the Qingyun Sect, Dao Xuan possessed a vast collection of swords of superior quality. How could he possibly limit himself to the world-renowned and famous Zhuxian Sword?
Then, he swiftly retrieved a sharp sword radiating a chilling light from his personal storage treasure and handed it to Ling Feng.
Although this sword does not possess the earth-shattering power of the Zhuxian Sword, judging from its appearance alone, it can definitely be called a rare and precious sword.
Ling Feng did not hesitate at all. He immediately reached out and steadily took the sword. Then, he immediately began to set up the formation.
In fact, Ling Feng already had a preliminary idea and plan in mind before he even started, so the whole process of setting up the formation went relatively smoothly.
Even so, it still took Ling Feng more than a full day to successfully set up this exquisite formation.
It is worth mentioning that the formation that Ling Feng meticulously set up this time also used the seven towering and majestic mountain peaks belonging to the seven branches of the Qingyun Sect as its base.
The sword he obtained from Dao Xuan rightfully became the core hub of the entire formation—the location of the formation's eye.
If this formation needs to be activated in the future, simply activate the wondrous restrictions contained within this sword, and this incredibly powerful formation will be quickly set up in an instant.
Moreover, the formation that Ling Feng meticulously arranged was able to perfectly mobilize the fierce energy hidden deep within these seven mountain peaks, thus multiplying the formation's power.
For this reason, the power released by this formation is even greater than that of the renowned Zhuxian Sword Formation passed down by the predecessors of Qingyun Sect!
Even more astonishing is that when Ling Feng constructed this formation, he fully referenced and absorbed the essence of the pseudo-Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in his hand.
After repeated refinement and improvement, the new formation was finally made to be flawless and without any hidden dangers.
Once the entire formation was successfully set up, Ling Feng unhesitatingly handed the sword, which was the key to the formation, back to Sect Leader Dao Xuan and taught him in detail how to use the formation.
With this, Ling Feng's first mission was successfully completed.
However, the other additional condition can only be met when Qingyun Sect faces a life-or-death crisis.
Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Ling Feng will find such an opportunity to realize it in the short term.
After receiving the sword from Ling Feng, Dao Xuan did not hesitate at all and immediately decided to personally test the power of this new formation.
With a thought, the formation was activated in the blink of an eye.
Dao Xuan focused intently on sensing the surging energy fluctuations around him, carefully comprehending the changes within them.
After a moment, he couldn't help but nod in approval.
After all, he had always personally controlled and presided over the Zhuxian Sword Formation of Qingyun Sect, and he was well aware of its true power.
The formation before us now displays a power even greater than the once-famous Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
That's why he had a look of extreme satisfaction on his face.
However, just as he personally felt the astonishing power contained in this formation, an indescribable strange color appeared in his gaze as he looked at Ling Feng.
Despite Ling Feng's meticulously crafted, seemingly invincible, powerful formation for the Qingyun Sect, his deep-seated resentment towards Ling Feng not only did not diminish in the slightest, but instead intensified.
At this moment, an extremely crazy and dangerous thought even sprouted in his mind—to use the power of this formation to launch an attack on Ling Feng on the spot!
But just a moment later, he forcibly suppressed this almost insane thought in his heart.
The reason is simple: this incredibly powerful formation was created by Ling Feng himself, and who knows if he has any hidden tricks up his sleeve?
If they act rashly and ultimately fail to capture Ling Feng, then the entire Qingyun Sect will likely face annihilation.
So, after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, he finally gave up on this terrible idea.
Moreover, upon further reflection, he realized that Ling Feng had already agreed to help Qingyun Sect three times, which undoubtedly created a complex connection between Qingyun Sect and Ling Feng.
With the help of Ling Feng, a powerful ally of unfathomable strength, almost like a god, the Qingyun Sect will surely be able to enjoy peace and tranquility in the future, and will no longer need to worry about the treacherous and cunning demonic cultivators attacking again.
However, Ling Feng was completely unaware of this, and he was completely oblivious to the complex thoughts and calculations in Dao Xuan's mind.
Even if he knew all this, he would probably just laugh it off and not care at all.
It should be noted that the incredibly powerful formation before them was set up by him. To him, this formation was as easy as taking candy from a baby, posing no threat whatsoever.
Moreover, the meticulous Ling Feng had a backup plan. Even without using the mysterious power contained in the array's core, he could control the entire array at will, making it obediently follow his commands.
As the saying goes, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against others. Ling Feng knew that the world was dangerous and people's hearts were unpredictable, so he had to take precautions in advance to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
Just as Ling Feng successfully set up the formation, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his mind.
"Ding!"
Then, a series of inspiring words followed.
"The fate of Biyao, the female protagonist of the Jade Dynasty world, has undergone a stunning reversal. Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the system mission."
"Quest reward obtained: Anchor of the Tianlong World"
Upon hearing that the system task was completed, Ling Feng's heart was instantly filled with joy, as if it had turned into an ocean of happiness.
But when he heard about the so-called mission reward, he was completely bewildered and confused.
He then took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He then immersed his consciousness into his mind, carefully examining the Anchor of the Heavenly Dragon World.
After a systematic explanation, Ling Feng finally understood its function.
It turns out that the anchor of the Tianlong world is actually the precise world coordinates of his previous world—the Tianlong world!
Knowing this coordinate, once his cultivation reaches a point where he can travel between worlds, he can use this world anchor to return to the Tianlong world.
When Ling Feng finally understood everything, the joy in his heart was as overwhelming as a surging tide.
During this time, he had been constantly thinking about the Tianlong world that had left him with countless memories, and now he finally saw the dawn of returning to his old home.
Especially when he thought of the three women in the world of Tianlong who were deeply in love with him and eagerly awaited his return, Ling Feng's heart was filled with longing and affection, and this feeling never diminished with the passage of time.
Suppressing his excitement, Ling Feng couldn't wait to ask the system in his mind, eager to know what kind of strength he needed to have the ability to travel between worlds.
A crisp notification sound rang out:
"Ding!"
The system then provided the answer:
"The host must cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal to gain the ability to travel through the heavens. Only by reaching this level can one withstand the powerful tearing force within the spatial passage."
However, after hearing this request, Ling Feng's initial excitement was instantly shattered, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, leaving him deeply frustrated.
After all, he is currently only at the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao stage, and there are many realms between him and the supreme Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Who knows when I'll be able to successfully advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?
However, Ling Feng did not succumb to despair because of this.
Instead, he quickly came to his senses.
In any case, at least now we can see a glimmer of hope, which is much better than the previous situation where there was absolutely no hope.
He firmly believed that as long as he persevered and diligently cultivated himself, he would one day be able to overcome all difficulties and successfully reach the realm of the Great Golden Immortal.
At that time, he will be able to return to the world of Tianlong as he wishes.
With such a grand goal in mind, Ling Feng's fighting spirit was rekindled, and he was filled with boundless enthusiasm and motivation for cultivation.
Now that the carefully arranged formation was complete, Ling Feng immediately expressed his intention to take his leave to Dao Xuan and the others.
Faced with Ling Feng's departure, Dao Xuan and the others were naturally overjoyed, and probably secretly rejoiced that they could finally get rid of this "plague god" as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to leave, Ling Feng suddenly remembered the three little ones and decided to go and meet them.
Upon meeting the three children, Ling Feng cut to the chase and asked them if they were willing to leave this place with him.
However, the answer given by the three little ones was not unexpected for Ling Feng.
They all expressed their unwillingness to leave Qingyun Sect.
Because Qingyun Sect had shown them great kindness in passing on their knowledge and skills, they couldn't bear to betray their sect.
Ling Feng respected their wishes.
However, as he was about to leave, Ling Feng knew that Zhang Xiaofan might face many troubles and worries, so he decided to completely eliminate any concerns for him.
Ling Feng found Dao Xuan and the others and told them the truth of everything without reservation.
"Gentlemen, there are many misunderstandings regarding Zhang Xiaofan. He had no intention of acting this way, nor did he have any intention of harming the Qingyun Sect!"
Ling Feng's gaze was firm, and his tone was calm and powerful, inspiring trust in everyone.
Then, he patted his chest and assured them:
"I, Ling Feng, am willing to guarantee with my own reputation that if Zhang Xiaofan does anything improper in the future, I will directly take action to clean up the mess for your Qingyun Sect."
Seeing Ling Feng's unwavering confidence and considering his proven strength, Dao Xuan and the others nodded in understanding.
Dao Xuan responded with a smile:
"Since you, fellow Daoist, have given us this guarantee, we naturally believe that Zhang Xiaofan has no ill intentions. We will certainly not make things difficult for him in the future."
In this way, Zhang Xiaofan's predicament was successfully resolved.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Ling Feng finally felt relieved and left with Bi Yao and the others.
During this time, Dao Xuan and the other members of the Qingyun Sect remained unaware of the true identities of Bi Yao and the others.
If they were to find out about these people's origins, it would likely cause a huge uproar and create many unexpected twists and turns.
……
The words are divided into two parts, each expressing one branch.
After the demonic sect members left Qingyun Mountain in a huff, their mission was unsatisfactory, and it could be described as a half-hearted effort. Not long after they left Qingyun Sect, internal conflicts suddenly broke out.
The three major sects—Wan Du Men, Chang Sheng Tang, and He Huan Pai—all turned their attention to the Ghost King Sect.
This great battle between good and evil was initiated and promoted by Wan Renwang, the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect.
Seeing that they had returned empty-handed, the other three major sects were filled with resentment, feeling that they had been used as pawns by the Ghost King Sect, wasting their manpower and resources and ending up in a humiliating state.
At this moment, everyone's situation was truly appalling. They had not only suffered heavy losses, but had also gained absolutely nothing.
This outcome caused their discontent to erupt like a volcano.
Back then, Wanrenwang painted a beautiful and tempting picture for them, claiming that Lingfeng was ruthless and decisive, which perfectly matched the style and philosophy of the demonic path.
In addition, they harbored a tiny bit of ambition deep within their hearts, so they believed in Wanrenwang's words without a doubt.
However, during the war between the righteous and the demonic, Ling Feng did appear, but his actions were ambiguous, and he did not stand firmly on the side of the demonic path.
This is why this supposedly earth-shattering battle between good and evil ended in a hasty and disastrous way.
Now, those lies have been ruthlessly burst like bubbles. They feel deceived and fooled, and they have decided to demand a reasonable explanation from Wanrenwang.
Faced with the aggressive advances from the other three factions, even the usually shrewd and powerful Wan Renwang had no choice but to temporarily retreat.
In order to quell public anger, he had no choice but to reluctantly offer some generous benefits as compensation.
Seeing this, the other three factions, after weighing the pros and cons, finally decided to stop entangled in the matter.
Because they knew very well that the Ghost King Sect was not a pushover. If they really pushed Wan Renwang into a corner, he would launch a counterattack without regard for anything else, resulting in a fight to the death, and then no one would have a good life.
After the three factions had obtained their respective benefits, they left satisfied.
Although the operation was fraught with difficulties, they still gained something, so they didn't feel they had suffered a loss.
However, at this moment, Wanrenwang felt that he had suffered a great loss.
No sooner had they left than Wan Renwang's previously calm expression turned ashen, as if ink could drip from it.
It should be noted that in this war between the righteous and the demonic factions, the Ghost King Sect not only failed to gain any benefit from it, but also paid a heavy price in order to appease the other three factions.
Thinking of this, Wanrenwang's anger became even more uncontrollable.
