"The hundred colors flower is of great use to me. If possible, you must retrieve it. At that time, I can exchange it for a treasure of equal grade."
"I will do my utmost for whatever Master needs."
Ye Lin bowed slightly to Chu Xue and said, "Chu Xue is now his biggest backer and has given him a lot of help. He will definitely help with this."
"That's good. I believe in you."
After Chu Xue finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the house.
Only a lingering fragrant breeze remained in the air.
Looking at Chu Xue's disappearing figure, Ye Lin stroked his chin, wondering what exactly this hundred colors flower was. He didn't understand.
"I'll go to the Mission Pavilion to take a look. Buying mental Martial Skill has drained my savings, so I need to take on a few missions to earn some Spirit Stone to replenish them."
Immediately, Ye Lin stood up and walked towards the Sect. Upon arriving at the Sect, the Inner Sect Disciples were hurrying, as if something major had happened.
"Senior Brother Ye."
At this moment, one of the Disciples saw Ye Lin and immediately cupped his fists in a salute.
"Hmm, has something happened?"
"Senior Brother Ye, last night half the population of Qingshan City was massacred by evil Cultivators. Now, there are various missions to kill evil Cultivators in the Mission Pavilion, and each reward is extremely generous."
"So everyone is busy taking missions."
Hearing this, Ye Lin looked towards Du Peak.
Chu Xue already knew about the matter of Qingshan City. Had the tragedy still not been prevented?
You must know that Qingshan City is not big, but not small either. Half the population, that's nearly 100,000 people. How tragic for 100,000 people to be massacred by evil Cultivators?
At this moment, Ye Lin walked towards the Mission Pavilion. As soon as Ye Lin stepped into the Mission Pavilion, his eyes were dazzled by the uniform array of Grade 5 missions.
"Senior Brother Ye, are you here to take a mission?"
At this moment, Sun Xiao saw Ye Lin walk in at a glance.
"Yes, which missions have generous rewards? Show them to me."
"Okay."
After speaking, Sun Xiao began to organize, then handed three missions to Ye Lin.
"Senior Brother Ye, please see, the first is a Grade 6 mission: kill three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage evil Cultivators hiding in Qingshan City. The reward is three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."
"The second is also a Grade 6 mission: find the Xuan Grade Low-Rank treasure, Aurora Sword, stored by Qingyun Sect in the Qian family. The reward is three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."
"The third is a Grade 5 mission: kill twenty evil Cultivators with a minimum cultivation of Qi Training Ninth Layer. The reward is two hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
Ye Lin pondered for a moment as he looked at the missions Sun Xiao handed him.
The reason why the matter of evil Cultivators and evil devils has not been eradicated until now is fundamentally because no one wants to suffer losses.
Even Qingyun Sect, now that Qingshan City has been massacred, no Elder has descended the mountain to eliminate devils. This is because they don't want to be the one to stick their neck out.
Evil Cultivators are not soft targets. If one's Origin Qi is severely damaged due to eliminating devils, then what awaits them is only to be slaughtered at will.
Every devil elimination operation has been all talk and no action, with no Elder from any Sect making a move. The fall of a Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase Elder would cause even Qingyun Sect to ache for a good while.
To put it bluntly, the lives of Mortals are not considered lives to these so-called Cultivators.
"Then I'll take the first and third missions."
At this moment, Ye Lin said to Sun Xiao. As for the second mission, it was purely a waste of time.
He could handle killing people, but as for finding things, who knew where that thing had gone.
"Okay, Senior Brother. At that time, you just need to bring back the marks on their bodies."
At this moment, Sun Xiao's face lit up with joy. As the person in charge of the Mission Pavilion, these missions had been untouched, almost driving him to despair. Now, someone had taken them on.
After collecting the missions, Ye Lin went straight to Qingshan City.
However, at this time, Qingshan City was littered with corpses, and everywhere there were dried corpses, their bodies seemingly drained of blood by something.
Qian family in Qingshan City, at this moment, countless Black Robed Men stood in the main hall.
"How are things?"
At this moment, a Black Robed Man at the very top spoke. Golden threads adorned his black robe, indicating his extraordinary status at a glance.
"There are still over eighty thousand people in Qingshan City, estimated to be killed within one day."
"Good, after one day, we will retreat."
Hearing this, the Black Robed Man above laughed heartily.
"Hmph, those so-called Righteous Path individuals, each of them putting on airs. We've almost completely massacred Qingshan City, and they haven't made any move."
"Aren't they all like this? Unless their interests are threatened, they don't care about the lives of these Mortals."
Outside the city, as soon as Ye Lin stepped through the city gate, he smelled an extremely strong scent of blood.
All around, there were dried corpses everywhere, looking extremely terrifying.
"This evil Cultivator, such cruel methods."
Ye Lin frowned and murmured, then continued to walk forward.
"Who's there?"
At this moment, a Black Robed Man shouted. The next moment, a sword light flashed, and the Black Robed Man clutched his neck and fell to the ground.
Ye Lin's right hand retracted, and his long sword quietly floated behind him.
The next moment, Ye Lin's figure instantly disappeared.
"What happened? Who did it?"
At this moment, two Black Robed Men hurried to the scene and were shocked to see the Black Robed Man lying on the ground, completely without breath.
"Someone's here. Go report quickly."
After speaking, the two hurried away, with Ye Lin, holding the hidden god pearl, following behind them.
After much winding, Ye Lin followed these two to the Qian family. In a few steps, Ye Lin stood steadily on the wall. Looking out, dozens of Black Robed Men stood in the large courtyard.
With the hidden god pearl in his hand, even if he stood in front of these Black Robed Men, they wouldn't discover him.
"How arrogant these evil Cultivators are, massacring Qingshan City right under the nose of Qingyun Sect, and still leisurely holding a gathering."
"However, three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, five Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, and the rest are all Qi Training Stage. It's a bit tricky."
After seeing the entire scene, Ye Lin said with a slight toothache.
"Report, leader, one of our brothers just died. Someone has come to Qingshan City."
Hearing this, the Black Robed Men in the courtyard all changed their expressions.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Currently, among the various Sects and aristocratic families, no Elder has descended the mountain. Even if someone comes, it's just a Disciple. Are you scared like this by a single Disciple?"
"My command: seal off the entire Qingshan City, find this Little Mouse for me, and at the same time, slaughter all the remaining Mortals. We cannot stay here long."
At this moment, the person with golden threads on his black robe above spoke.
"Yes."
After speaking, countless Black Robed Men left and dispersed around Qingshan City.
"I was just wondering how to deal with you all. If you scatter, then I'll defeat you one by one."
Seeing this, Ye Lin's mouth curved upwards, and then he disappeared.
"You few, search over there. You few, follow me."
"First, eliminate the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, then kill the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage. Once these high-end combat forces are dead, the remaining Qi Training Stage are not to be feared."
In the shadows, Ye Lin stared at a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage evil Cultivator in front of him and murmured.
"Now's the time."
Suddenly, Ye Lin, holding his long sword, rushed out like a leopard.
"Who's there?"
At this moment, the Black Robed Man immediately reacted. Just as he was about to resist, he was pierced through the throat by a single sword strike.
"You..."
The Black Robed Man stared wide-eyed, pointing at Ye Lin. With his throat pierced, he couldn't utter a single word.
