Chapter 885: System Mission, Taking the Initiative

Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, Mount Dragoncrest was bustling with cultivators from various sects and factions, filled with people as far as the eye could see.

After exchanging greetings and information with the other attending cultivators, the Mount Dragoncrest assembly officially commenced.

The person in charge of presiding over this meeting was a Daolord of the Pantheon Sect who had attained Mahayana.

His name was Daolord Allheaven.

He began by discussing the situations their factions had encountered in this new world.

Next, and most crucially for this assembly, was a proposal regarding the defense duties in certain areas of this realm due to the presence of Abyssal Demons.

So.

Any area that came into contact with the Abyssal Demons required sufficient manpower to guard it.

If necessary, those assigned to these posts would also be responsible for expelling the Abyssal Demons.

Everyone understood the importance of this task.

However, the task was also incredibly dangerous and would demand a significant amount of time and energy from the cultivators.

Accepting this guard duty meant that during this period, cultivators would have little to no time for personal cultivation.

So.

When Daolord Allheaven laid out this proposal, the entire assembly at Mount Dragoncrest fell into a brief silence.

Apparently.

Nobody was too keen on confronting the Abyssal Demons head-on.

As the atmosphere seemed to cool, Daolord Allheaven exchanged a look with another Daolord from the Pantheon Sect and then spoke up.

“As the hosts of this assembly, the Pantheon Sect will take the lead.

We will take responsibility for guarding the Xisha Grand Canyon in the eastern part of this realm.

I wonder which sect or family is willing to collaborate with us in guarding this area?”

Clearly.

The Xisha Grand Canyon mentioned by Daolord Allheaven was an immense area, too large for the Pantheon Sect to guard alone.

Yet, after Daolord Allheaven’s speech, no one stepped forward to volunteer, causing the faces of Daolord Allheaven and the other Daolords from the Pantheon Sect to darken.

Standing next to Xue Ping, Jiang Chengxuan felt a stir in his heart.

A premonition told him that speaking up now might bring substantial benefits and possibly avoid hidden dangers.

It was precisely at this moment that a system notification suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Ding.]

[System mission issued. Host, please kill a hundred Abyssal Demons.]

Hearing the system’s notification, Jiang Chengxuan’s intuition became clearer.

Without further hesitation, he conveyed his thoughts to Sect Master Xue Ping and the Valley Master of Thunderclap Valley, Yun Yizhen, through voice transmission.

When the two of them heard this, they were clearly surprised.

They couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chengxuan and then at each other.

Soon, they made up their minds.

Hence, the Haoran Sect’s Sect Master, Xue Ping, immediately stood up and cupped his fists at Daolord Allheaven.

“I believe what Senior Allheaven has said is very reasonable.

This indeed requires the collective effort of cultivators from our Floodgate Realm.

To show our support, Haoran Sect is willing to dispatch disciples to collaborate with your sect in this guarding duty.”

Following Xue Ping, Yun Yizhen from Thunderclap Valley also expressed a similar sentiment.

This took the other attending families and sects by surprise, as they hadn’t expected Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley to be the first to express their support.

This also brought a smile to the slightly displeased Daolord Allheaven, who nodded appreciatively at Xue Ping and Yun Yizhen.

“Thank you both for your support.

In that case, please join us in jointly guarding the Xisha Grand Canyon in the east.

But rest assured, your role is one of assistance, not subordination.

Should Abyssal Demons appear, we will tackle them together.”

This reassurance slightly eased the concerns of Xue Ping and Yun Yizhen, who had been worried about being treated as subordinates by the Pantheon Sect.

It seems that the Pantheon Sect was not intending to do so, or at least, they were offering special consideration to the first two sects that had pledged their support.

And that was the truth.

Following Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, no third sect or family volunteered.

Consequently, Daolord Allheaven proceeded to call out names directly. freewebnσvel.cѳm

In the realm of cultivation, being gently persuaded by a Daolord was a sign of respect.

However, if the addressed parties proved too obstinate, the Daolords wouldn’t hesitate to assert their authority, as was the case now.

The expressions of those from the sects and families called upon shifted dramatically, as Daolord Allheaven’s terms shifted from cooperation to obedience to the Pantheon Sect’s commands.

Many regretted not proactively volunteering like Haorran Sect and Thunderclap Valley had done.

Now, called upon directly, they lost the initiative in the guarding duties.

As the assembly neared its conclusion, Daolord Southbright from the Qiankun Hall suddenly addressed Daolord Allheaven.

“Daolord Allheaven, I’ve heard that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan from Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley possess exceptional abilities.

Could you perhaps assign them under my command?”

This request changed the atmosphere immediately, particularly for Xue Ping and Yun Yizhen, whose expressions darkened on the spot.

The thought of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan being placed directly under Daolord Southbright’s command was akin to sending them into a lion’s den.

Daolord Allheaven was momentarily taken aback by Daolord Southbright’s request, giving him a puzzled look.

Daolord Southbright, with a courteous smile, continued,

“Daolord Allheaven, I genuinely believe that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan are outstanding talents.

I sincerely wish for their assistance.

I trust you won’t disappoint me, will you?”
