Chapter 49: Chu Lingyun's Mission

Liyang Zi, Luo Hao, Li Ergou, and Li Rou had all reached 100 points in their filial piety values, and they had previously agreed to let Yao Mei join the Xuandan Sect.

This had just completed the task for five children of filial piety.

"New task: Ancestral Dragon Gallbladder."

Chen Xuan checked the system panel, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

His "Dragon Origin Universe Technique" had remained stagnant for a long time, and he had never figured out the reason. Could it be that his Dragon Yang physique was still insufficient to support him in practicing the ninth page of the "Dragon Origin Universe Technique"?

Could this dragon gallbladder be the key?

However, he had never even heard of what the Qingling Holy Fruit was, and searching for it all over the world would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan thought of something, his eyes brightening as he asked:

"System, is it possible for the task of the Qingling Holy Fruit to appear in the sect's task hall?"

Chen Xuan remembered that there were two lists in the task hall: one for sect tasks, and another for tasks published according to his current situation concerning the children of destiny.

If this task were to appear in the task hall, he could completely let the children of destiny help him search for it.

With their luck, it would be much easier to find than if he went by himself.

The system replied: "...Possibly."

"That means yes!"

Chen Xuan directly ignored the word "possibly."

His heart was finally at ease.

Now he only needed to know who had claimed the task, and then lie back in the sect using the map to observe their movements.

Task Hall.

Chu Lingyun arrived at the task hall with great enthusiasm. As long as she reached the Nascent Soul realm, her master would agree to any request she made.

Hehehe.

She had to raise her cultivation level quickly.

She walked up to the task board and began browsing through the missions.

50,000 contribution points.

She had to take on a major task.

The tasks of cleaning the sect and clearing out demonic beasts were directly ignored by her, and she focused specifically on tasks with high contribution points.

Task: Execute Ye Fan.
Reward: 10,000 contribution points.

"Ye Fan?"

Chu Lingyun froze for a moment.

Chen Xuan had previously stated that as long as the Ye family did not pay off the resources they owed the Xuandan Sect, one member of the Ye family would be killed every day.

However, due to the Sacred Heaven Pavilion some time ago, Chen Xuan had instructed her not to leave the sect casually, so she had not visited the Ye family for quite a long time.

"Could it be Ye Xueyan's younger brother, Ye Fan?"

Chu Lingyun was extremely puzzled. Killing him could actually yield 10,000 contribution points?

Regardless of whether it was true or not.

The things the Ye family owed her master had to be retrieved. Since the Ye family had been allowed to linger on in borrowed time for so long, it was about time to go and settle accounts.

Chu Lingyun claimed the task.

Then her gaze shifted to the other two tasks.

Task: Help the Sect Master accept a disciple.
Reward: 50,000 contribution points.
Requirement: Perfect Wood Spiritual Root aptitude or above.

Task: Find the Qingling Holy Fruit.
Reward: 50,000 contribution points.

"Both are 50,000 contribution points. Completing either one will allow me to warm my master's bed for a whole day." Full of excitement, Chu Lingyun immediately accepted both tasks.

"Which task should I go complete first?"

Chu Lingyun tapped her chin. "Let's go to the Ye family first to settle accounts with them. If Ye Fan is indeed my target, I'll kill him to complete the task. If not, I'll just kill him to vent my master's anger."

With that thought, Chu Lingyun headed straight for the Ye family estate.

Watching Chu Lingyun leave in the distance, Chen Xuan smiled knowingly. It seemed the one who claimed his task was Chu Lingyun.

Golden destiny.

Presumably, she would definitely be able to find the Qingling Holy Fruit.

Chen Xuan opened the map and checked Chu Lingyun's real-time movements.

Chu Lingyun's current status: Wants to warm the host's bed.

Chen Xuan: ......

Ye Family Estate.

When Chu Lingyun arrived, the Ye family estate was already deserted, with not a single member of the Ye family in sight.

"Damn it, they actually ran away!"

Chu Lingyun was extremely indignant. Spiritual energy gathered in her palm, and she struck the Ye family's main gate, shattering it to pieces.

Still unsatisfied, she prepared to flatten the entire Ye family estate.

The commotion startled the people in the surrounding area.

Seeing a beautiful young girl actually demolishing the Ye family residence, everyone was utterly shocked, and a kind-hearted old man hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Young girl, you mustn't, you mustn't."

"Why must I not?"

Chu Lingyun was kind-hearted by nature and did not get angry when she saw the old man blocking her.

"This is the Ye family residence; you can't smash it."

"What I'm smashing is precisely the Ye family," Chu Lingyun snorted. "The Ye family owes my master resources and refuses to return them, so they deserve to be smashed. I'm going to kill them too."

"Young girl, I don't know what the Ye family owes you, but the Ye family is truly not to be trifled with."

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly advised: "Some time ago, people from the Ye family's main clan came to acknowledge their kin and took all the Ye family members away. I heard that is a major faction, one that even the Great Xia imperial family dares not provoke."

"A major faction?"

Chu Lingyun suddenly understood. No wonder Ye Fan's life was worth 10,000 contribution points.

However, no matter how powerful the faction was, could it be more powerful than her master?

If that were the case, her master wouldn't have issued a task to execute Ye Fan.

In her master's eyes, that so-called major faction was simply vulnerable to a single blow.

No, that major faction wasn't even in her master's eyes at all.

"Do you know what that faction is called?" Chu Lingyun asked the old man.

"Young girl, what are you going to do?"

"Kill people!"

"Sigh."

The old man sighed. It seemed Chu Lingyun was dead set on making trouble for the Ye family, and no amount of persuasion on his part would be of any use.

It was just a pity.

Such a beautiful young girl was about to meet a tragic death.

"I don't know what that major faction is called, but Ye Fan is pursuing the Saintess of the Immortal Sword Sect. He might appear there," the old man said.

"The Saintess of the Immortal Sword Sect?"

Chu Lingyun remembered that Ye Fan had always been pursuing the Saintess of the Immortal Sword Sect, and she wondered how many treasures he had taken from the Xuandan Sect to give to that woman.

Previously, Ye Xueyan had even forced Chen Xuan to bring out betrothal gifts for him.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Xuan had completely severed ties with the Ye family.

"Ye Fan wants to marry the Saintess of the Immortal Sword Sect. As long as I find her, I can find Ye Fan."

Chu Lingyun immediately headed toward the Immortal Sword Sect.

The path of the sword was in decline.

As the strongest sword-cultivation sect in the Great Xia Empire, the Immortal Sword Sect was, after all, only a second-rate sect.

The sect master, Jian Batian, was merely in the Nascent Soul realm.

Inside the Immortal Sword Sect.

Jian Batian coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of heart-blood with a gasp.

"Master!"

Yunyao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, asking with deep concern: "Master, are you alright? It's all this disciple's fault for failing to find the Qingling Holy Fruit."

"It's not your fault."

Jian Batian shook his head, panting heavily as he said: "The Qingling Holy Fruit was only something I happened to see in an ancient text; it might not necessarily be able to cure my injuries anyway."

"If anyone is to blame, it's that I didn't remain vigilant against the demonic cultivators and fell into their trap."

"Dammed demonic cultivators!" Yunyao clenched her delicate fists.

Ever since the demons were eradicated a thousand years ago, numerous demonic cultivators had recently reappeared in the cultivation world.

They were skilled at disguise.

They would disguise themselves as sect disciples and specifically launch sneak attacks on important figures such as sect elders and sect masters.

Many important figures from various sects had already been ambushed and died tragically.

"Yunyao, I am only worried that you have not yet mastered the sword intent of the Sword Stele. Once I am gone, you won't be able to protect the Immortal Sword Sect."
