You guys are too arrogant.
Qin Jun and his men stayed in Songzi City, waiting for the sect to send more people to assist. Of course, they also had to write a letter to the Biyun Sect, which was the closest to Songzi City. After all, Songzi City was under the management of the Biyun Sect.
More importantly, they had to wait for the people from the Biyun Sect to come and confront them. After all, such a big thing happened in such a big city under the management of their Biyun Sect. Why didn't they notice it at all?
Qin Baoyao and Shi Yue, with the tied-up Yan Yuan and the other two and Guan Sha in the cage, were preparing to return to the sect to complete the mission and receive the reward. Before leaving, Shi Yue left behind an explosive piece of news.
"I suspect that disciples from other sects have already been killed. I guess that this task has most likely been issued by more than just Guiyi Sect." Because among those who fought with them, he saw two or three people who looked familiar. They were the people he met on the road before entering Guiyi Sect who were also going to become disciples and seek the truth.
"You mean, you are not the first batch?" Qin Jun was surprised.
"Yes, those few should be from a sect." Shi Yue pointed at a few people still lying in the crowd.
"Okay, I understand. It seems that the sect leader needs to notify all the major sects." Qin Jun thought of this and hurriedly wrote another letter to Qin Gu.
Seeing that he had taken notice, Shi Yue nodded, boarded the flying boat provided by Qin Jun, and set out on the journey back to the sect.
The first person in the sect to know that something had happened in Songzi City was Zuo Xingwei, the master of Zhenfeng. After all, when Qin Jun was calling for people, the news was sent directly to him. At first, he said that he would send all the disciples of Zhenfeng who were at home over there. Wasn't that nonsense? Later, after finding out more, he picked eight disciples who were proficient in formations to assist.
The next person to know about the incident in Songzi City was Bai Qing, the head of Yaofeng. It was the same thing. Qin Jun asked him for people, so Yu Ying brought the disciples of Yaofeng to Songzi City.
As the sect leader, Qin Gu was the last person to know the news. When he just received a message from Qin Jun saying that there was demonic energy in Songzi City and more than 200,000 people had been invaded by the demonic energy and more medical disciples were needed to go there for treatment, he found Bai Qing, the leader of Yaofeng, and discussed with him how many medical disciples should be sent to help.
In the end, he sent out eight or nine out of ten of Yaofeng's current disciples, and also planned to consult with other sects to ask them to send some people to help.
Who would have thought that just as they had discussed and arranged for people to set off, they received a message from Qin Jun saying that the sect closest to Songzi City was needed to go there to handle matters in the city, and asked him to talk to the leader of the Biyun Sect.
He hurriedly contacted the Biyun Sect, but just as he made the contact, this guy sent another message saying that all the major sects needed to identify someone.
Recognize people?
"Who do you want to recognize?" Qin Gu was puzzled. Hadn't they already sent the people from the Biyun Sect to deal with it? This kid really knows how to find trouble for me.
"Songzi City, according to the guesses of Yaoyao and Shi Yue, there are at least several hundred cultivators." Qin Jun looked at the scene in front of him. There were nearly two hundred cultivators present. What's more, among these cultivators, there were twenty or thirty people who were at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining Stage.
"How could a mortal city have so many cultivators?" Qin Gu was shocked. Although Guiyi Sect had far more than a few hundred disciples, that was because Guiyi Sect was the largest sect in the world of cultivation. It would recruit disciples every few years. Even the outer disciples recruited were all those who at least had spiritual roots and could practice cultivation.
Every year, thousands of disciples come to Guiyi Sect to seek a master and learn the truth. However, there are usually no more than a hundred who have spiritual roots and can practice. Sometimes, there are only thirty or forty people with spiritual roots.
Therefore, in the cities of mortals, there are only dozens of cultivators at most, no more than a hundred. In fact, many cultivators in the cities are disciples sent by nearby sects to assist. However, this kid Qin Jun said that there are hundreds of cultivators in Songzi City. How is this possible?
"Yes, how could there be so many cultivators in a mortal city..." Qin Jun emphasized again.
"You mean?" Qin Gu reacted, "Wait, I'll go notify the others."
"Uncle Master, please notify the nearby sects first." Qin Jun said, then disconnected the voice transmission.
Yes, yes, yes, notify the nearest sects first. Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the map of mountains and rivers and looked at the location of Songzi City and the surrounding sects.
After some trouble, those sects agreed to send disciples to Songzi City.
Only after doing all this did he feel a little relieved.
After Baoyao accepted the mission, Lao Gao clearly said that the mission was not difficult, so how could it be related to demonic energy?
Missions related to demonic energy meant that there was a possibility of facing demonic cultivators. Normally, missions were of high or extremely high difficulty levels. How did it end up being of medium difficulty?
Thinking of this, he immediately went to find Gao Ming, the head of the Mission Hall.
He briefly explained the mission Qin Baoyao had taken on and what Qin Jun had reported. He was about to question Gao Ming about what was going on, but Gao Ming was even more surprised and frightened. "How is this possible? Songzi City... I remember Songzi City. A disciple went there last time and did a mission. He said the mission wasn't difficult; it just involved destroying some monsters. That's why the mission was set to a medium difficulty level. How could it be related to demonic energy?"
The two looked at each other, thought of something, and cursed: "It's broken."
After saying that, Gao Ming ran away.
Qin Gu watched him running away and fell into deep thought, feeling that this incident was not simple.
After thinking about it, he decided to send a message to the other three major sects, asking them whether they had ever sent disciples to Songzi City to complete missions.
The news I got was no.
"Old Gu, although Songzi City is a big city, it is very far away from our four major sects. Why did you send your disciples there to complete missions?" The leader of Yuanshi Sect looked at the hanging map of mountains and rivers and looked for the location of Songzi City. After reading it, he couldn't understand why Qin Gu suddenly mentioned Songzi City and said that he was going to Songzi City to complete a mission.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss: "You're from the Guiyi Sect, right? You're taking on missions from such a faraway place. Aren't you being too aggressive?"
Qin Gu suddenly realized what was going on. Songzi City, while a large city, was certainly far away. Their Guiyi Sect, in particular, was even further away than the other three major sects. So why would they send a mission there? Could it be a particularly difficult mission? One that even the Biyun Sect couldn't handle, requiring Guiyi Sect's help?
That shouldn't be the case. If it's a mission of such great difficulty, disciples generally wouldn't be sent there casually, let alone Baoyao and Shi Yue, two people in the Foundation Establishment Stage who have no practical combat experience.
Moreover, for such a difficult task, the Task Hall would definitely report it, and would hold a meeting to discuss which disciples to send. For a task of extremely high difficulty, the people doing it need to be extremely cautious, consider their overall strength, and even undergo a certain selection process. How could they be sent out so casually?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The Biyun Sect near Songzi City was almost catching up with the four major sects in terms of scale and strength. It was unknown when it would replace one of the four major sects, or even become one of the five major sects.
If they can't complete the task, they must issue a bounty notice or something like that. It can't be just a simple sect training task.
After the Yuanshi Sect leader finished speaking, he noticed Qin Gu was silent. He didn't know what he was thinking about, so he started shouting, "No way, no way? You Guiyi Sect have really rolled up the scroll to this extent? What's wrong with you Guiyi Sect? It's okay that you rolled up the scroll for no apparent reason since last year. After all, it was for the disciples of the sect. But what's going on now? Even rolling up the scroll for external missions? Isn't this a bit too much?"
Qin Gu rolled his eyes when he heard the other party yelling, thinking: Weren’t you guys also rolling up when we just rolled up?
After shouting for a while, the leader of the Yuanshi Sect suddenly thought of something and spoke again, "Don't I say that you, the Guiyi Sect, are not setting your sights on a city managed by someone else? That's not very kind of you. The Biyun Sect is well managed here, and you, the Guiyi Sect, are even further away from Songzi City than our Yuanshi Sect. It's too much for you to go all the way to grab territory!"
"Shut up, you are not a kind person." Qin Gu scolded, and then said worriedly: "Old Fang, things are troublesome." He took the trouble to tell the other party about Qin Baoyao's mission and discovery this time.
"What? Demonic energy?" Upon hearing what he said, Fang Tianhua, the leader of Yuanshi Sect, jumped up instantly and his voice became louder. Qin Gu, who was on the other end of the sound transmission stone, could feel how excited the other party was.
"How could this happen? Demonic energy? Demonic energy appeared in a mortal city!" Fang Tianhua became very anxious at this time. According to Qin Gu's words, the entire city was invaded by demonic energy. Such a serious thing could not have been done overnight. It must have been planned long ago, but no one knew about it. It was even discovered by several young disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage!
"Wait, I'll send someone to Songzi City right away." Fang Tianhua thought of something and said something to Qin Gu, then cut off the voice transmission and hurriedly called a meeting of the elders in the sect.
After Qin Gu talked to him, he immediately passed the news to the people of Nanwu Sect and Sixiang Sect. As expected, everyone's attitude changed from thinking that he was making a fuss in the beginning to anxiously saying that they would send people to Songzi City in the end.
Qin Gu was filled with worry. If Songzi City was experiencing this, what about the other cities? Could some of them have already experienced this? All these years of peace and tranquility had passed. Even these old men couldn't forget the brutal battles with the demons. Most of the new generation of disciples had never experienced this, let alone the demons' cunning and slyness.
If Baoyao hadn't encountered it by accident while doing a mission, it would have been too late to discover it later.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that since Qin Baoyao exposed the matter of Lingmei Pill last year, it seemed that she had inadvertently helped them avoid many things that would lead to disasters in the future. For example, it was discovered that some disciples had also taken Lingmei Pill, but on the one hand, they had just started taking it and the addictiveness was not that strong. On the other hand, they knew about the appearance of Lingmei Pill in advance and increased inspections and precautions, thus preventing Lingmei Pill from spreading on a large scale.
Come to think of it, this girl is really a lucky star.
While he was celebrating his lucky star, Qin Baoyao, someone else was already jumping up and down. "Failed again! Failed again! Qin Baoyao, it's you again! Just wait!"
