"Let me in. I want to see Xin Yu."
After settling in Yu Wan and the others, Yan Guang walked toward the inner city, but unexpectedly he was stopped outside the city gate. He was furious and grabbed the disciple who was blocking him.
That disciple was just a minor Qi-refining cultivator who stayed here under orders, and was already trembling under the pressure of Yan Guang's mid-stage Foundation Establishment. He was shaking all over and couldn't say a word.
However, at this moment, the inner city gate opened, and a male foundation-building cultivator in plain robes came out. He was the monk who was ordered to stop Xin Yu before.
"Why is Senior Brother Yan so irritable? Although our Demon Sect respects the strong, no one can bully low-level disciples as casually as Senior Brother Yan."
"Li Jing, did Xin Yu ask you to come here? Get out of here. Don't forget, our Demon Spirit faction has still had jurisdiction over the city for the past fifty years, and we have nothing to do with you Demon Evil."
When Yan Guang saw Xin Yu's thug coming out, he immediately threw the monk in his hand to the ground and cursed at Li Jing.
Li Jing listened to Yan Guang's angry scolding without paying any attention. He slowly said with his hands behind his back, "Senior Brother Yan, this is wrong."
"Senior Brother Yu is now in seclusion, and you are going to Xianghu City as an envoy. Then there must be someone to handle all the affairs in this city."
"Senior Brother Xin doesn't remember past grudges and has worked hard in the city for more than two months. He just went into seclusion two days ago."
"Senior Brother Yan should also be considerate. If you have anything, just tell me directly. As for entering the inner city..."
The words were drawn out, and Li Jing waited until Yan Guang became impatient before continuing with a smile.
"I'm really sorry. We can't let you in until Senior Brother Xin comes out of seclusion."
"Asshole." Looking at Li Jing who looked like a villain in front of him, Yan Guang couldn't bear it anymore. The red flame wrapped his clenched right fist and hit Li Jing.
Unexpectedly, before reaching Li Jing's door, Yan Guang was tied up with a golden rope.
He lay on the ground and struggled hard, but the golden rope was made of a special material, which not only imprisoned his spiritual power, but also tied it tighter and tighter. Completely unable to break free.
Li Jing stood where he was, still smiling slightly, "Senior Brother Yan, please stop struggling. This magic-binding rope is a spiritual weapon. Even Master Yuanying is helpless, so you should rest and think about how you can treat your fellow disciples at will. Punishment after taking action."
After saying that, Li Jing's smile suddenly disappeared and he became very serious, "Come here, Senior Brother Yan attacked his fellow disciples at will. Although he did not cause any real harm, as a true disciple, he did not set an example. I hereby give the command to Senior Brother Xin. Yan Guang was taken into the dark prison and severely beaten with fifty soul-piercing whips."
After saying that no one took action, Li Jing looked gloomy and immediately released his pressure and ordered again, "Hurry up."
"yes."
The qi-refining disciple who was thrown to the ground by Yan Guang hurriedly lay on the ground to recover, then got up and carried Yan Guang into the dark prison of the inner city together with another qi-refining monk.
The soul-piercing whip is one of the torture tools used by the Demon Sect to punish their disciples. Its dark red whip is covered with black thorns. Every time it hits it, it will bring double severe pain to the body and soul.
Although the person who whipped Yan Guang was a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, the spiritual power and strength in his hands were slightly insufficient. But each whip is enough to hurt the soul.
However, Yan Guang didn't say a word. Even though he gritted his molars, he still endured the fifty lashes clearly.
After it was over, he was already soaked to the skin, and his hair was messy and stuck to his face with sweat. His body was also wet with sweat and blood.
Although Li Jing was on the opposite side of Yan Guang, he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Shaking his head and running away what was in his mind, he squatted in front of Yan Guang and said, "Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Xin has ordered you to participate in the next search mission before going into seclusion. Senior brother, remember to heal your wounds well, but never participate with injuries. , otherwise Senior Brother Xin will definitely blame me if he knows."
As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, Yan Guang spat at him with all his strength.
Li Jing was not angry either. He stood up and bowed his hands to Yan Guang. "Junior brother, I will take my leave first." After saying that, he put away the magic rope and left.
The remaining two Qi Refining disciples looked at me and I looked at you, then they lifted Yan Guang and threw it into the corner outside the inner city gate.
Before leaving, the Qi Refining disciple who was thrown to the ground by Yan Guang kicked him hard twice. However, Yan Guang still kept silent.
After they all left, Yan Guang reluctantly fumbled for the elixir, swallowed a handful, then his vision went dark and he passed out.
Seven days later, Yu Wan and Wei Yan arrived at Obsidian Square in the center of the outer city under the instructions of Xuan Tie Token.
Although the two arrived not too late, the square was already filled with dark crowds. All the monks present were dressed in black clothes and black robes.
They looked around and after seeing Yan Guang's figure in the corner, they walked over.
"Brother Yan, what are you..." Wei Yan looked at Yan Guang, who was dressed in tatters and looked pale, but hesitated to speak.
Yan Guang's lips turned white, he raised his hands weakly and clasped fists at the two of them, and explained, "I was accidentally bitten by a group of dogs."
"Brother Yan is also here to participate in this mission?" Wei Yan saw Yan Guang's unwillingness to mention it and quickly changed the subject.
Seeing Yan Guang nodding, he took out a bottle of elixir and stuffed it into Yan Guang's arms. "Brother Yan, take it. Although I don't know the mission content yet, it must be very dangerous. We should always be in the best condition."
Yu Wan nodded to Yan Guang in agreement.
"Thank you, brother Wei and his sister-in-law." Yan Guang clasped his fists in thanks. Then, at Wei Yan's urging, he swallowed two pills and sat cross-legged to refine them.
Soon, Yan Guang's complexion improved visibly to the naked eye. When he finished refining and stood up to say thanks again, a male voice came from the high platform in the center of the square.
"quiet."
As soon as the voice came out, within two breaths, the square returned to calm.
The golden elixir male cultivator on the high platform continued to speak.
"This mission is very important. I know that you have the trust of those who have just joined the hunter team, and there are also old people who have carried out the mission several times. Of course, there are also many who are only one mission away from successfully being promoted."
"I can guarantee here that any team that can successfully complete this mission can be directly promoted and enter the inner city."
"Thank you, Master."
The male Jindan cultivator raised his hand to signal for silence and continued.
"This trip is a team of five people. Of course, if you are fully sure of your own strength and go alone, I have no objection."
"The mission location is at the guard tower on the southwest side of Longhu City. When you step out of the city gate, the specific content of this mission will appear on the token."
"The mission is limited to one week."
"Get ready, let's go."
After saying that, the golden elixir monk flew away. He was from Snake and Tiger City and didn't care about the disputes within the Demon Sect, so he didn't even look at Yan Guang in the corner.
After the Golden elixir monk left, the monks on the field walked around and started looking for the players.
For some hunters who had participated in several missions, they quickly joined the old team members and left towards the city gate.
The newcomers are still testing each other out.
Yu Wan, Wei Yan and Yan Guang looked at each other and turned to leave together.
The three of them had already cooperated tacitly in the Snow and Wind Rift Valley, so they could just set off directly.
Soon, the newcomers who were lagging behind also formed groups and left.
It's still dark, and it's the darkest moment before dawn.
Groups of monks fled towards the top of the snow-capped mountains in the darkness.
After Yu Wan reconfirmed the mission in hand, he put away his token, clad in the night, leaped onto the ice cliff, and headed towards Xingtian Mansion, the highest point of the mountain range.
