Chapter 257 Heaven-level Mission
Five years ago, Pingfeng City's Chitong Pavilion issued a Heaven-level mission to find a person and kill him, with no time limit.
This mission is codenamed Earth Spirit Girl, because the person we are looking for is a woman with a single earth spiritual root and nine spiritual root points.
And this earth spirit girl is naturally Xu Qiuqian.
Xuanyun Continent has never issued a heavenly-level mission.
As a yellow-level member of the Chitong Pavilion, Ding Lan could only take yellow-level missions, but this sky-level mission was very special. When it was announced, it stated that all task takers could cooperate as long as they could kill the Earth Spirit Girl within a short period of time.
A woman with a single earth spiritual root and nine spiritual root points, it is not difficult to find out about her genius spiritual root qualifications.
So when other people from the Red Eye Pavilion learned that the Earth Spirit Girl was in the Qingyu Sect, they all tried to find ways to become disciples of the Qingyu Sect, or to enter the Qingyu Sect.
And Ding Lan had just become a tasker of Chitong Pavilion at that time.
When she heard about this task, she thought of Xu Qiuqian. The heavenly level reward was very generous, so she decided to complete this task without any hesitation.
I thought it would be easy to just kill Xu Qiuqian.
At worst, we can just cooperate with other taskers of Chitong Pavilion. As long as we can get the reward, it's fine.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dongyue had always been with Xu Qiuqian at the time, and the two had a good relationship at the time. Master Hua Cen kept a close eye on the two of them, mainly because he was afraid that Xu Qiuqian would hurt Zhao Dongyue, so she had no chance to take action at all.
However, other taskers who entered Qingyu Sect later quickly came up with a solution.
They decided to alienate Zhao Dongyue and Xu Qiuqian first. Only when Zhao Dongyue stopped sticking to Xu Qiuqian would they have a chance to take action.
So they exchanged the third-grade Guiyuan Pill that Xu Qiuqian had spent all his savings to buy for Zhao Dongyue for a poison pill. They achieved their goal. Zhao Dongyue was poisoned and almost died, and Xu Qiuqian was punished to be confined in Linghan Peak for a year, and no one was allowed to visit him during that time.
"I thought they succeeded, and I was a little disappointed that I couldn't participate and didn't get the reward. I didn't expect that Master Hua Cen would set up a ban to prevent others from helping Xu Qiuqian."
It was this restriction that saved Xu Qiuqian.
They could only continue to wait until Xu Qiuqian came down the mountain.
When Xu Qiuqian came down from Linghan Peak, they thought they could finally take action against Xu Qiuqian. However, they didn't expect that Master Hua Cen was afraid that Xu Qiuqian would take action against Zhao Dongyue, so he sent people to keep an eye on Xu Qiuqian all the time. Moreover, Zhao Dongyue was not affected by the previous poison pill, and he still went to find Xu Qiuqian whenever he had time.
This left them with no chance to attack at all.
As a result, Xu Qiuqian brought her own death upon herself and began to attack Zhao Dongyue repeatedly.
So after seeing this, they quickly changed their strategy and decided to destroy Xu Qiuqian in a roundabout way.
Every time Xu Qiuqian harmed Zhao Dongyue, he would be discovered in the first place. Every time he was discovered, Master Hua Cen and the disciples of Qingyu Sect would be disappointed in Xu Qiuqian.
Moreover, they acted tyrannically in the sect in the name of Xu Qiuqian, causing complaints from the sect's disciples.
Fortunately, Xu Qiuqian has good spiritual roots and the sect will not do anything to her because of this. They dare not show any dissatisfaction, and any dissatisfaction they have can only be kept in their hearts.
They are looking for the right opportunity.
Finally, three years later, a year ago, they found their opportunity.
After learning that Xu Qiuqian wanted to kill Zhao Dongyue, they began to discuss how to use this opportunity to completely get rid of Xu Qiuqian.
This heavenly mission has been delayed by them for too long.
There is no time to delay.
They were angry that they had wasted so much time on an earth spirit girl, and they didn't want to let her die so easily. After discussion, everyone decided to let this genius taste the feeling of going from heaven to hell after his spirit veins were damaged.
Finally, I chose Duanling Cliff.
Ding Lan volunteered to tell Xu Qiuqian the location of Duanling Cliff.
"You should know what happened afterwards." Ding Lan looked at Xu Qiuqian cautiously.
Xu Qiuqian had a blank expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After listening to this, she turned her gaze to Ding Lan.
"So why do you guess that the person who wants to kill Xu Qiuqian is not in Xuanyun Continent?"
"Because Xuanyun Continent has never had a Heaven-level mission, and I heard from that seventh-grade formation master that this mission was sent from the headquarters."
The headquarters is not in Xuanyun Continent, so she made some guesses.
Well-reasoned.
If it were her, she would probably think so too.
But what she cares about now is not this, but——
"You said that those people could have killed Xu Qiuqian directly, but because it took too long, they decided to torture her like this?"
The voice was calm, but it inexplicably made Ding Lan feel a chill.
"Yes, because the longest mission before only took half a year."
However, the mission of the Earth Spirit Girl took them nearly four years, so they were naturally resentful.
"Then do you know who were involved in it?"
"This..." Ding Lan hesitated, "When they entered the Qingyu Sect, they all used fake identities and disguised themselves."
It wasn't too surprising.
"You should have received the news that the Earth Spirit Girl's spiritual veins were repaired, right?"
"Well... I received it recently. It said that Xu Qiuqian must be dealt with this time. If not, the previous rewards will be taken back." She said, looking quite embarrassed.
After all, the person in front of him has a good relationship with Xu Qiuqian.
"So those who caused Xu Qiuqian's spiritual vein to be damaged will take action again."
"right."
"That's easy."
Xu Qiuqian curled her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Can I join the Red Eye Pavilion?"
"Yes, the Chitong Pavilion only recognizes tokens, not people. However, the Chitong Pavilion has a limited number of tokens. If an outsider wants to join the Chitong Pavilion, there is only one way, and that is to kill the person who has the Chitong Pavilion token. Then his token will become yours."
It was just a coincidence that she picked up the token. She kept it because she thought it was a treasure.
Unexpectedly, by chance she learned about the existence of Chitong Pavilion.
She guessed it when she saw the undisguised murderous intent in Xu Qiuqian's eyes.
"You want to kill those people?"
"Yes, isn't it?"
"Of course not. The Red Eye Pavilion allows taskers to kill each other and encourages it, provided that it does not affect the completion of the task. Otherwise, the higher-ups will send people to take back the tokens. If you get enough tokens, you can upgrade your level. Therefore, the taskers of the Red Eye Pavilion are very good at disguising themselves and hiding."
On the one hand, he was afraid of being targeted by other taskers, and on the other hand, he was looking for opportunities to assassinate other taskers.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Lan saw Xu Qiuqian looking at her thoughtfully.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"I, I can give you my token!"
Compared with the token and life, life is of course more important.
Anyway, she has already established her foundation, so at worst she can get another one later.
But then Xu Qiuqian took out a token from the storage bag.
Her eyes widened.
"You are from the Red Eye Pavilion too?!"
