The Hall of Merit? What kind of place would it be? With some expectations, Xiao Chen slowly walked into the Hall of Merit, where people were constantly flowing in and out.
Are you in the wrong place? Xiao Chen looked at the surrounding environment in surprise. Wooden tables were placed in the hall. There were people in twos and threes standing on the wooden tables, drinking wine, eating food, and chatting in low voices.
If you are a waiter, this place will look like a restaurant, and it is the simplest one, without any gorgeous and luxurious decorations.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the atmosphere here is completely different from the taverns down the mountain. There is no loud noise. Hundreds of people gathered here, but they could only hear some whispers.
What's more, everyone has a murderous aura in their body. When these murderous auras gather together in the hall, it is like thousands of streams, converging into a vast ocean.
People with lower strength would probably faint immediately and crawl to the ground in the face of the overwhelming murderous intent after walking in.
Xiao Chen calmed down and had a hunch in his heart that this place might not be as simple as he imagined. He held the Moon Shadow Knife tightly and walked slowly towards the counter in front.
The tables in the hall were arranged neatly, and a wide avenue opened in the middle. Xiao Chen walked on it, feeling a little strange in his heart. He was the only one who could hear the sound of footsteps wandering on the road.
clang!
A steel knife cut through the air and flew toward his face. Xiao Chen unsheathed the Yueying Knife with a sway and sliced open the steel knife easily.
When the steel knife was about to hit the ground, a huge suction force came and sucked the steel knife quickly. The owner of the steel knife was a man wearing Wan Renfeng's clothes. He looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly: "Where did you come from, a wild boy? Don't you understand the rules? Is it your turn to take over the mission now?"
Xiao Chen followed the sound and looked. In his direction, there were more than a dozen inner disciples wearing Wanrenfeng costumes, all looking at Xiao Chen with murderous expressions.
Tiandao Pavilion has always prohibited martial arts. As long as no one is killed or a person's cultivation is ruined, the Law Enforcement Hall will not come to interfere.
Someone not far away glanced at the Qingyun Peak badge on Xiao Chen's waist and couldn't help but sneered: "Who am I talking about? He doesn't know the rules. It turns out he's from Qingyun Peak."
"People from Qingyun Peak, please find a table and sit down honestly. Today is the day when the Merit Hall distributes tasks to high-level sects. After the core disciples of each peak accept these tasks, the order of the Merit Hall will be restored."
Since it is a sect task, it must be difficult or weak, and the rewards will also be high or low. The rewards for high-level sect tasks are naturally scary.
And these high-level tasks are not always available, they are extremely rare. As the saying goes, there are too many people and too little meat, in order to prevent these high-level tasks from being snatched away by others.
The disciples of the five peaks have formed an unspoken rule in private. Whenever a high-level task arises, the core disciples of each sect will directly divide it up.
The people in the Hall of Merit turned a blind eye to this. The difficulty level of advanced tasks must be higher than ordinary tasks. If they are completed by core disciples, they can also complete the tasks earlier.
Xiao Chen's arrival was unlucky. A high-level mission happened to be announced today. The core disciples of the Seven Peaks were discussing outside how to divide this high-level mission.
The results have not yet come out, so the inner disciples in the hall did not move, so as not to cause misunderstandings and make people think that they were going to receive high-level tasks.
There was a kind-hearted inner sect disciple nearby who told Xiao Chen everything about the sect and advised him to sit down first and wait for the high-level tasks to be taken away before he went to receive the tasks.
"Don't try to persuade me. He is a figure that even the Peak Master of Biyun Peak doesn't take seriously. He is just a core disciple of the Five Peaks. How can he get into his eyes." Someone who recognized Xiao Chen came out. Sheng Nuo teased.
"Haha, that's true. I think he might have done it on purpose."
"He's just a low-level martial artist. I can crush him to death with one hand. I really don't believe he can fight against the peak martial king." The Wanrenfeng disciple who had previously attacked Xiao Chen continued.
His cultivation has reached the realm of a top-grade martial artist, two realms higher than Xiao Chen. He looked at Xiao Chen provocatively.
Advanced mission? If there really is, it's not impossible to get five hundred merit points a month, but it seems a bit noisy here.
Dragon capturer!
Xiao Chen snorted coldly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a giant black hand appeared out of thin air, passed through the crowd and covered the man's head, and slapped downwards.
The crowd immediately dispersed, and the giant black hand fell down and slapped the wooden table. With a bang, under the huge force, the wooden table shattered into wood chips that filled the sky, dancing wildly out of thin air.
In the hall of Merit Hall, everyone looked at Xiao Chen in shock. They never expected that Xiao Chen would take action directly here. How could he be the opponent of so many Ten Thousand Renfeng disciples when he was only one person
"You really dare to take action. If I don't cripple you today and let you know what respecting a senior brother means, I won't call you Li You." The leader shouted loudly when he saw Xiao Chen taking action.
call! Just when he was about to lead Wanrenfeng's disciples forward, a giant black hand suddenly rose from the ground, like a demonic shadow, and with a fierce grip, he was caught off guard and caught him instantly.
Xiao Chen pulled lightly, and a huge force came from him, pulling Li You away from the crowd and punching him directly in the chest.
The giant black hand disappeared, and the punch hit his chest hard, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and fall to the ground.
boom! He was still trying to struggle to stand up, but Xiao Chen stepped on his chest and pushed him back directly. He also used his full strength on this kick, and Li You spat out a mouthful of blood again.
"It's just a sneak attack. What a skill. If you have the guts, let me go. Let's fight again!" Li You resisted desperately at Xiao Chen's feet, but it had no effect. He couldn't help but open his mouth and said loudly.
Xiao Chen is not a three-year-old child, so he will not be fooled by him. A dozen disciples from Wanren Peak have already rushed over. They are afraid of Li You at Xiao Chen's feet, so they are afraid to take action.
Li You saw this and said loudly: "Do it, this is the Tiandao Pavilion, he doesn't dare to kill me."
kill!
When everyone heard this, they no longer hesitated. Blades of light lit up on their long knives, attacking Xiao Chen from all directions.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and used the Three Shadows of Flowing Clouds. The Moon Shadow Sword didn't even come out of its scabbard, and his whole body turned into an endless ocean. Facing the endless attacks, he remained calm.
The Moon Shadow Knife is like running water, rippling gently and constantly changing directions. These attacks seem to be attacking above the water.
There were huge waves in the sky, and the water rippled and surged. But after a while, the water surface immediately returned to calm, becoming as smooth as a mirror again, without any ripples.
The best is like water, fighting without fighting. All the attacks that hit Xiao Chen's scabbard were bounced back, and everyone was extremely frightened for a moment.
A moment later, a tidal wave of attacks hit Xiao Chen again. Xiao Chen remained motionless, his heart still, and the long sword in his hand was sheathed, steadily resisting everyone's attacks.
Click!
After everyone's fifth wave of attacks was blocked, Xiao Chen had no patience anymore. The Moon Shadow Knife swayed with a dazzling cold light, and he took it out of its sheath.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Xiao Chen held the Moon Shadow Knife in his right hand and stabbed Li You directly at his feet.
With a pop, the tip of the knife was inserted an inch away from Li You's heart, splashing a large amount of blood, and blood continued to gush out of Li You's mouth.
The already extremely quiet hall was now completely silent. Everyone in the hall opened their mouths slightly, dumbfounded, and their brains briefly lost consciousness.
Because of the angle of view, everyone thought that Xiao Chen's knife pierced Li You's heart directly. Everyone thought that Xiao Chen had taken the courage of a leopard and dared to kill someone in the Hall of Merit.
Xiao Chen quickly drew his sword, bringing up a large amount of blood. At the moment when many disciples of Wanren Peak were distracted.
Liuyun's three figures were used one after another, and the figures became blurry. Xiao Chen's figures seemed to be everywhere in the field, until the moment when those figures all overlapped.
Each Wanrenfeng disciple was stabbed in the chest. There was lightning jumping on the wound, the blood flow was endless, and the pain was excruciating.
Boom! Wan Renfeng's disciples fell down one after another and kept wailing, which was extremely harsh in the silent hall.
Whoops!
Two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air, checked Li You's injuries, quickly touched his acupuncture points, exchanged glances, and retreated without paying attention to the other injured people.
Xiao Chen knew in his heart that these two people were the ones controlling the situation in the Hall of Merit. If he had really killed Li You just now, these two people would definitely not just sit back and watch.
Continuing to walk forward, Xiao Chen ignored everyone's gazes and paid no attention to anything. The five peaks had made a private agreement to see what high-level tasks there were.
In his opinion, since it is a task from the Hall of Merit, everyone is qualified to take it. To artificially take over these tasks is obviously a bullying practice.
And he urgently needs merit points now. Even if he offends these people, it doesn't matter. It seems that he has already offended these people on the Feitian Platform, and it is no worse than today.
Behind the counter, an old man was sitting with his eyes closed. Xiao Chen walked up to him, tapped the counter gently, and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep, come and take over the task."
The old man slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were dull, as if he had just woken up. He smiled and said, "I'm just taking a nap. I can't even pretend to be asleep. When I take on a mission for the first time, I'll get my badge first."
The old man took the badge handed over by Xiao Chen, glanced at it and said, "Qingyun Peak, Ye Chen. I didn't expect that Qingyun Peak would have already recruited someone if I haven't been out for a while."
"Leave the badge with me first and register it for you. Go to the second floor to get the assignment."
