Double penetration, starting from being a trader

After leaving the Bamboo Heart Secret Realm, Chen Feng went straight to the Mission Hall of the Three Saints Sect.

The Mission Hall of the Three Saints Sect is a place specifically for issuing sect missions. It is also a place where you can find out a lot of information about the outside world, so the Mission Hall is usually the most crowded.

As soon as Chen Feng arrived at the mission hall, he saw a large number of disciples of the Three Saints Sect coming and going, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry.

Chen Feng immediately stopped a disciple who was rushing to leave the hall.

The disciple who was stopped was initially very impatient, but his expression immediately changed when he saw the robes of a true disciple on Chen Feng's body:
"Senior brother, is there anything I can do to stop you?"

Chen Feng asked:

"I've been in seclusion recently, could you please inform me of the current situation in the sect?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple immediately smiled and said:

"So it turns out Senior Brother is in seclusion. Indeed, many major events have occurred in the sect recently."

The disciple began to tell Chen Feng about the recent events.

A few days ago, the Three Saints Sect officially declared war on the Blood Demon Palace, and a great battle broke out between the two sides at the battlefield in Shenzhou and Qingzhou, with tens of thousands of cultivators participating.

Among them were Dao-harmonizing cultivators.

The reason why so many cultivators participated in this great battle was that both the Blood Demon Palace and the Three Saints Sect had a large number of affiliated forces.

Most of the cultivators came from these affiliated forces.

Moreover, as the battle intensified, the number of cultivators participating also surged.

Many disciples within the Three Saints Sect also received a mandatory mission from the sect: to go to the front lines to participate in the war.

Disciples who haven't received a mission can also accept missions issued by the sect in the Mission Hall.

Since Chen Feng was associated with Wang Ping's status as a second-generation heir, the sect's mandatory tasks would naturally not be assigned to him.

To encourage its disciples to participate in the battle, the Three Saints Sect also increased the rewards for the mission.

Any quest related to the Blood Demon Temple offers very generous rewards of contribution points.

"Senior brother, half of the sect's true disciples have already participated in the battle. This time, the sect has also set up a battle merit list. After the battle, the sect will distribute special rewards based on the battle merit list." The disciple said to Chen Feng excitedly.

While wars between sects are dangerous for these disciples, they also bring opportunities.

Contribution points that would normally take hundreds of years to accumulate can be earned in a single mission during times of war.

If you perform exceptionally well, you might even be appreciated by the higher-ups of the sect.

"Thank you for informing me." Chen Feng nodded to the disciple and then stepped into the mission hall.

Upon entering the mission hall, Chen Feng saw a dense crowd of people, including disciples and sect elders.

At the very center of the main hall, there was a floating light screen, with mission details constantly flashing on the screen.

If someone wants to take on a task, they only need to use their identity token.

The tasks are also divided into different levels, ranging from Qi Refining to Dao Integration, almost all of them are included.

Each task will also reward different contribution points depending on its difficulty.

The contribution point rewards for tasks related to the Blood Demon Temple are significantly higher than those for other tasks.

Chen Feng looked at the option for Nascent Soul. There was nothing he could do; Wang Ping's strength was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. If he were to directly accept a mission at a higher level, it would clearly indicate a problem.

However, now that he has mastered the Dao of Severance, which can be used to fight enemies across borders, it wouldn't be too surprising if he killed some high-level cultivators.

He plans to wait until he completes a few Nascent Soul stage tasks before he can take on higher-level tasks.

Moreover, this time, he wasn't after those contribution points; he wanted to capture a group of Nascent Soul cultivators and bring them back to Earth.

Chen Feng began to carefully select from the tasks on the screen, and soon he found one that suited him perfectly.

This is a team-based mission that requires twenty Nascent Soul cultivators to accompany a Void Refinement Elder to Qingzhou to attack a branch of the Blood Demon Palace.

That branch hall was a small hall of the Blood Demon Hall, and there was only one Refinement Void cultivator in charge of it. The mission was quite difficult, since it required leaving Shenzhou and infiltrating Zhongzhou.

Once the Blood Demon Palace's experts arrive, the danger will be immense.

Although the mission is dangerous, the rewards are very generous. Each Nascent Soul cultivator who completes the mission will receive 5,000 contribution points, and they will also receive a share of the wealth within the branch hall.

Chen Feng accepted the task without hesitation.

The large number of people, coupled with the fact that it was far from the Three Saints Sect, made it a perfect fit for him.

After accepting the mission, Chen Feng immediately went to the mission's meeting point.

China, at the border.

A magic ship belonging to the Three Saints Sect was quietly floating in the sky. On the deck of the magic ship were more than a dozen cultivators from the Three Saints Sect, all of whom were at the Nascent Soul stage.

These people were naturally sect cultivators who had accepted the mission to attack the Blood Demon Palace branch in Qingzhou.

These cultivators were not just disciples, but also some deacons of the Three Saints Sect.

If an inner disciple of the Three Saints Sect has reached the required age but has not yet broken through to the Void Refinement stage...

There are generally two options: the first is to leave the Three Saints Sect, and the second is to become an outer sect steward within the Three Saints Sect.

Most people would choose to stay in the Three Saints Sect as stewards, after all, it is a top power in the Xuanhuang Realm, and no one would want to leave.

This has resulted in a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Three Saints Sect.

The monks on the Dharma ship were discussing the upcoming mission.

One of the women, who was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, said:

"There are still three people who haven't arrived yet. I wonder if a young genius will come."

An older man standing nearby spoke up:

"This mission is so dangerous that the geniuses in the sect will definitely not come. Only old bones like me who want to take a gamble will come."

Most of the people present were older deacons, and there were very few young inner disciples.

The sect's geniuses would naturally not undertake such a risky mission, infiltrating Qingzhou to attack a branch of the Blood Demon Palace; one wrong move and they might never return.

Even the higher-ups of the Three Saints Sect wouldn't allow young geniuses to carry out such dangerous missions.

Therefore, most of those who do this kind of task are elders from the sect.

Just as they were talking, a streak of light sped towards them from afar.

A beam of light materialized, and a young man with an ordinary face, dressed in the robes of a true disciple, appeared in everyone's sight.

"A true disciple!"

The old man's expression changed, and the others also showed surprise.

The fact that a true disciple had come for this mission was truly unexpected.

It should be noted that the entire Three Saints Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, but there are only less than two hundred true disciples.

Every true disciple, as long as they don't perish in the future, is guaranteed to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

Chen Feng glanced at the cultivators on the deck, then said loudly:

“Wang Ping, a true disciple, requests an audience with Elder Qiu.”

"Wang Ping! It's actually him!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

The others also had various expressions.

Wang Ping's name has been widely known within the Three Saints Sect recently, mainly due to the recent arena competition.

Wang Ping defeated Ding Keyi, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This caused a great stir.

This wasn't because Wang Ping was exceptionally talented, but because he won the arena battle by relying on a family heirloom. This made many cultivators in the sect both hate and envy Wang Ping.

The fact that a second-generation cultivator like him would undertake such a dangerous mission surprised all the cultivators present.

Inside the French ship's attic at this moment.

A middle-aged man came out.

The middle-aged man had a mark between his eyebrows and exuded the aura of a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

This person was none other than Qiu Yichi, the elder who led this mission.

Qiu Yichi said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Junior Nephew Wang would also come on this mission. It's quite a surprise to me. Isn't your Wang family afraid that you'll die out there?"

Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged as he spoke:
"It is my duty as a true disciple to do my part for the sect."

"Hmph, I hope you're telling the truth. I need to make things clear to you first: once you enter Qingzhou, you must obey my orders. If you're unwilling, you can leave now!" Qiu Yichi said in a deep voice.

Chen Feng nodded: "Of course."

Qiu Yichi didn't say much, and then returned to the attic.

The main reason he treated Chen Feng so badly was because he had an extremely good relationship with Kong Rui.

Kong Rui lost a piece of Xuanhuang Crystal in his last bet with Wang Yanran.

This naturally made Kong Rui resent Chen Feng.

Qiu Yichi was Kong Rui's man, so naturally he wouldn't give Chen Feng a friendly look.

Chen Feng was unaware of this, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have thought anything of it.

"Junior Brother Wang, I've long admired your name. My name is Miao Qi, and I currently serve as an outer sect steward." The old man who had spoken earlier greeted him with a smile.

Many people greeted him warmly.

Most of those who greeted him were older Nascent Soul cultivators, while the inner disciples sat far away, their eyes filled with hostility as they looked at Chen Feng.

The older generation of Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't be as hostile to Chen Feng as the younger disciples.

Because they are long past the age of youthful vigor.

On the contrary, Chen Feng, being a second-generation rich kid, is their primary target for currying favor.

In response to the greetings from the crowd, Chen Feng gave a brief reply and then sat down alone on the deck.

At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly looked at the attic of the French ship, as if he had discovered something interesting.

With the strength of his divine sense, he could naturally cover the entire Dharma ship without anyone noticing.

Since this wasn't the Three Saints Sect, he had no qualms about acting without restraint.

Inside the pavilion of the Dharma Boat, Qiu Yichi was holding a communication jade talisman in his hand.

At this moment, the jade talisman was flashing with light, and a cold male voice came from inside.

"You mean Wang Ping is going to Qingzhou with you on a mission?"

Qiu Yichi respectfully spoke:
"Yes, senior brother, I was also surprised. He is on the Dharma boat now."

The voice from within the jade talisman sounded again:

"Very well, you've chosen the path to hell when there's a way to heaven. Last time, that bitch Wang Yanran won a piece of Xuanhuang Crystal from me, and this time I'll pay with her brother's life!"

The person speaking inside the jade talisman was none other than Kong Rui.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yichi's expression changed:
"Senior brother, Wang Ping is the heir of the Wang family. If I were to harm him..."

Although Qiu Yichi was Kong Rui's confidant, he really didn't dare to kill Wang Ping.

Wang Ping's background is truly formidable. Rumor has it that he has a powerful Dao-Merging elder from a sect backing him up, a background that a sect elder like him cannot easily challenge.

Kong Rui spoke in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, how could I possibly let you kill Wang Ping? Someone like him, a direct descendant of the Wang family, must have a bloodline mark on him. Whoever kills him, the Wang family and Wang Yanran will know immediately. You can't kill him yourself, so why don't you let someone else do it?"

"This time you're going to attack a branch of the Blood Demon Palace. If she dies at the hands of the Blood Demon Palace branch, who will say anything? Also, don't worry about the Wang family. I heard that the Wang family is already planning to remove Wang Ping from his position as the family heir. If something happens to him, the Wang family won't cause you any trouble."

"But..." Qiu Yichi still hesitated.

Kong Rui then said:

"If you accomplish this, I will give you three spiritual artifacts governed by laws!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yichi immediately stopped hesitating and said, "Senior brother, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that Wang Ping will not be able to return to the sect!"

"Very good, remember to keep it clean." Kong Rui said with satisfaction.

On the deck, Chen Feng, who was sitting cross-legged, heard the entire conversation between Kong Rui and Qiu Yichi.

He truly never expected that someone would try to kill him just because he went out on a mission.

However, Chen Feng didn't care; he had come here to kill people anyway.

He never even considered letting Qiu Yichi go back, because the primordial spirit of a Void Refinement cultivator is more valuable than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After waiting for a few more days, all the cultivators who were going to participate in the mission arrived.

The French ships also began to head towards Qingzhou.

Everyone found a spot on the deck to sit cross-legged, and no one came to greet Chen Feng again during this time.

Half a month passed quickly, and the French ship entered Qingzhou smoothly.

The Dharma boat then headed towards the southern branch of the Three Saints Sect in Qingzhou.

No one knows the location of the Blood Demon Palace's main hall, but its branch halls are scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm.

This is different from the Three Saints Sect, which only controls one region, Shenzhou.

The Blood Demon Palace has branches in almost every continent because the demonic arts practiced by the Blood Demon Palace cultivators require them to consume the blood of other cultivators to improve.

If the Blood Demon Palace were located in only one place, the number of cultivators in that place would be insufficient.

Therefore, the Blood Demon Palace established hidden branch palaces in various places.

This branch of the Blood Demon Palace, located in the southern part of Qingzhou, is situated in a valley and is extremely secluded.

The Three Saints Sect only learned of the location of this branch hall based on intelligence.

Each branch hall is extremely important to the Blood Demon Hall. These branch halls provide talent to the Blood Demon Hall every year. Destroying a branch hall is equivalent to reducing the Blood Demon Hall's strength by one point.

This time, the Three Saints Sect sent more than one team to attack the Blood Demon Palace's branch.

Other branch halls were also attacked by cultivators from the Three Saints Sect, and these groups would act simultaneously within a few days.

This was to ensure that the Blood Demon Palace would not receive the message.

Chen Feng's team was just one of many.

The magic ship quickly arrived near the valley. Qiu Yichi also stepped out of the ship's pavilion. He looked at the twenty Nascent Soul cultivators standing before him and said in a deep voice:
"Miao Qi, Xue Qin, each of you take three people to set up a large formation around the valley. The rest of you, follow me!"

Miao Qi and Xue Qin were both in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and upon hearing this, they immediately cupped their hands in greeting:

"As ordered!"

The two then began to select people. After Miao Qi had chosen two people, he came to Chen Feng's side.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, would you be willing to come with me to set up the formation?"

Miao Qi's invitation to Chen Feng was also intended to foster good relations, since going with them to set up formations outside the valley was less dangerous than attacking a branch of the Blood Demon Palace.

Before Chen Feng could answer, Qiu Yichi, who was not far away, said coldly:

"Wang Ping, stay behind and come with me!" (End of Chapter)
