The Immortal Taoist Chapter 88

Chapter 88 - The Mourning Elder Yan Rui

"Go to the Mission Hall and hand in your mission!"

The moment Ling Dao returned to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, he rushed towards the Mission Hall. The reason the Elder Yan Rui a.s.signed such a dangerous mission to him was obviously to put him to death. After an ordinary disciple became an inner disciple, the first mission would be very simple, how could it be like this?

The news of his return quickly spread throughout the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect. When he was an outer court disciple, he was the eldest senior brother, and after he became an inner court disciple, he caused another ruckus. The disappearance of him in the past two months naturally attracted a lot of attention.

When they found out that Ling Dao had gone to kill Venomous Serpent Gang Leader, many people sighed. Just as they became inner sect disciples, dealing with Zhenqi realm pinnacle fighter was simply courting death. Just as everyone thought that Ling Dao had died, Ling Dao suddenly came back.

"He's really back?"

Even after hearing his subordinate say that Ling Dao had returned, Elder Yan Rui still did not believe him. In his heart, he still held onto a trace of hope. Unfortunately, he had personally witnessed Ling Dao's appearance in the Mission Hall, so it couldn't be fake.

"Elder Yan Rui, my mission has already been completed, Venomous Serpent Gang Leader has already died under my sword. I wonder if you can give me the rewards?"

The reward for killing the Venomous Serpent Gang Leader was one month of training on the third floor of the Sword Pavilion. At that time, Elder Yan Rui only said out such a generous reward to tempt Ling Dao. In the Elder Yan Rui's view, since it was impossible for Ling Dao to complete the mission, no matter what the reward was, it didn't matter.

"Completed the mission?" "What about the evidence?"

As expected of the Elder Yan Rui, after the short period of shock, he also calmed down. In his mind, it must have been someone else who had killed the Venomous Serpent Gang Leader, Ling Dao was just lucky. He did not believe that Ling Dao could kill Venomous Serpent Gang Leader.

"You should know that this is the head of the Venomous Serpent Gang Leader, right?"

On Ling Dao's back, there was a package wrapped in blood. He untied it now and threw it on the ground. The package rolled a few times, and the head of the person inside was revealed. It was Venomous Serpent Gang Leader's head.

After killing Zhong Feifei and the others, Ling Dao deliberately returned to the top of the mountain and cut off Venomous Serpent Gang Leader's head so that he could prevent him from reneging. As expected, after Elder Yan Rui saw the Venomous Serpent Gang Leader's head, his expression immediately became extremely unsightly.

"That's right, you have completed the mission. You will be rewarded with one month of practice time from the third floor of the Sword Pavilion!"

Elder Yan Rui let out a long sigh. This time, he really wanted to steal something. He had originally wanted to use the Venomous Serpent Gang Leader's hands to kill Ling Dao, and then obtain the lower graded sword. Who knew that not only did Ling Dao not die, he had even completed the mission?

Originally, killing the Venomous Serpent Gang Leader s wouldn't even give him a month's worth of rewards for cultivating on the third floor of the Sword Pavilion. Right now, Elder Yan Rui could only think of a way to obtain the unnecessary rewards. This was not the most important thing. Ling Dao was not dead, he would definitely cause trouble for him.

Elder Yan Rui promised Zhou Xinghe with all his heart, that Ling Dao would definitely die, and so Zhou Xinghe gave him the lower graded sword. If Zhou Xinghe knew that Ling Dao was still alive, he would definitely be furious, and Elder Yan Rui would be in dire straits.

"Thank you, Elder Yan!"

Ling Dao's face was full of smiles, but Elder Yan Rui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Unfortunately, rules were rules, and no matter how angry Elder Yan Rui was, he did not dare to go against his sect's rules. He could only depressingly take out an order badge and toss it towards Ling Dao.

"This is the Sword Pavilion's third floor pa.s.s. Return it to me in one month. If you dare to extend it, then I, Elder, will definitely not let you off!"

Even if Ling Dao completed his mission, Elder Yan Rui would still make things difficult for him. He could have absolutely given Ling Dao a new order badge, but now he just had to give his own command medallion to Ling Dao. Originally, Ling Dao could have gotten this month at will.

But now, the Elder Yan Rui had given him a month's time to die. In a month's time, regardless of whether or not he had cultivated in the third layer of the Sword Pavilion, Elder Yan Rui would definitely request for the command medallion. Furthermore, Ling Dao would have no choice but to return the favour.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"

Ling Dao naturally understood the Elder Yan Rui's thoughts, it was just that he was too lazy to expose them. In the worst case scenario, he could just enter the third level of the Sword Pavilion to cultivate from tomorrow onwards. Coincidentally, his current strength was insufficient, and he had trained for a month on the third floor of the Sword Pavilion. This should be enough for him to continue breaking through.

"Let's go!"

Elder Yan Rui waved his hands quickly, wishing that he could kick Ling Dao out of the room. When the other disciples of the Mission Hall saw Ling Dao's reward, their faces were filled with envy.

"Third senior brother, the Elder Yan Rui in the Mission Hall is looking for you, do you want to meet him or not?"

That night, Elder Yan Rui came to Zhou Xinghe's courtyard, and brought along the lower graded sword that Zhou Xinghe had gifted him the last time. Since the mission was not completed, Elder Yan Rui would naturally be embarra.s.sed to accept the lower graded sword, and more so, would not dare to accept it.

"Let him in!"

Zhou Xinghe's eyes flashed with a trace of rage. The Elder Yan Rui made a solemn vow, but in the end, not only did Ling Dao return safely, he even obtained the chance to cultivate in the third layer for a month. This was simply slapping him in the face, slapping him hard in the face, Zhou Xinghe!

"Oh, our Great Elder Yan, what's going on? Why does he look as if his parents have died? "

In the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, strength was everything, and Yan Rui was an elder. It was a pity that he was only a Heaven Breaking Middle Stage cultivator. Zhou Xinghe's realm was higher than Elder Yan Rui's and his strength was stronger than Elder Yan Rui's, so he naturally dared to make sarcastic remarks.

"Zhou Xinghe, this is your lower graded sword, I have not completed the mission that you gave me, I am truly sorry!"

Elder Yan Rui had an apologetic expression. This matter should have been done perfectly, but who would have known that there would be such a flaw? He took the lower graded sword and was about to return it to Zhou Xinghe, but unfortunately, he received Zhou Xinghe's cold laughter in exchange.

"Sorry? A word of apology, and you think it's over? You dare to play with me, Zhou Xinghe, you are truly courting death! "

Zhou Xinghe suddenly stood up from his seat, then used his movement technique and came to Elder Yan Rui's side. He extended his right leg and fiercely kicked Elder Yan Rui, causing him to fly over ten meters away.

Puff.

Elder Yan Rui lied on the ground as blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth and his face was full of disbelief. He never thought that Zhou Xinghe would actually dare to attack him, and so heavily as well. Without waiting for him to speak, Zhou Xinghe had already arrived beside him and stepped on his head.

"This is the result of working poorly! If you dare to speak of what happened tonight, then you do not need to be an elder and you will forever disappear from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect! "

Zhou Xinghe's words caused Elder Yan Rui's body to tremble. This was not a joke, Zhou Xinghe did indeed have such an ability!
