Chapter 27
In the direct disciple cave abode.
Zhang Chen said, “Senior Brother Li, I’m ready to take on the sect mission and go out to capture demon beasts.”
Li Mumin nodded slightly. “After the blood sacrifice of Elder Black Blood, there aren’t many people in the outer sect, and it is difficult to exchange for blood essence. It’s indeed suitable for sect missions.
“If I didn’t need a few years to recuperate after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, I would also choose to take on sect missions.
“To you, the Demon Beast Mountain Range is still quite dangerous. It’s best to find a few fellow disciples to hunt demon beasts together, but you have to be careful of your fellow disciples at all times.
“After all, the Blood Nerve Technique is special. It makes us look like walking panaceas in each other’s eyes. Many people have died at the hands of their fellow disciples. If you tell them my name, they might be afraid and not dare to attack.”
Zhang Chen bowed. “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother.”
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can go back now.” Li Mumin ordered him to leave.
“Then I won’t disturb you anymore, Senior.” Zhang Chen cupped his hands and left.
After leaving the cave abode, Zhang Chen walked straight to the Internal Affairs Hall.
Although Li Mumin suggested finding a few fellow disciples to hunt with, Zhang Chen did not plan to do so. He had too many secrets on him, and it was more convenient to go alone.
Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had been in the Blood God Sect. Now that he could finally go out and see the outside world, he could not help but feel excited and expectant.
The original owner had entered the Blood God Sect at the age of eight, so his impression of the outside world was very vague.
Soon, Zhang Chen arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.
Due to the blood sacrifice of a large number of outer sect disciples, the Internal Affairs Hall was very deserted.
“Senior Brother, how can I help you?” Seeing Zhang Chen, the Internal Affairs disciple asked respectfully.
“I want to take on a sect mission.” Zhang Chen handed over his identity token.
“Alright, I’ll register you, Senior Brother.” The Internal Affairs Hall disciple took the identity token and began to register.
“Senior, this is your first time going out to hunt demons. Let me explain it to you. When you go out, a curse will be placed on you to prevent desertion.
“If you don’t return to the sect within three months, the curse will take effect and you will suffer unbearable pain. If you still haven’t returned to the sect within six months, your life will be in danger.
“When you return to the sect, we will remove the curse for you. You just need to submit a demon beast to the beast garden to complete the sect mission.”
After listening to the explanation, Zhang Chen finally understood why no one had taken the opportunity to escape from the Blood God Sect.
Because when leaving the sect, a curse was placed on them. If they didn’t return within six months, they would die.
This is true for inner sect disciples, but I’m not sure if it applies to direct disciples as well,
he thought.
“Okay, I understand.”
“Senior Brother, this is the map of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and the beast breeding bag. By infusing spiritual energy into the bag, you can capture demon beasts that have no resistance and store up to three of them in the bag.”
The Internal Affairs disciple handed over his identity token, along with the map and the beast breeding bag.
“Thank you.” Zhang Chen took the items and turned to leave.
Just as he left the Internal Affairs Hall, Zhang Chen saw Sun Jian rushing towards him.
“Junior Brother Zhang, what a coincidence! A few days ago, I heard you say that you wanted to take on a sect mission. So are you here to receive a mission?” Sun Jian greeted with ‘surprise’.
Zhang Chen nodded and did not say anything. He was prepared to leave.
“This is great, I’m also planning to take on a sect mission. As it’s your first time going out, you may not understand many things. Why don’t you join me, and I’ll take care of you?” Sun Jian invited him enthusiastically.
Zhang Chen made an excuse. “Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Sun, but I already have a companion.”
Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, but immediately said, “Then how about adding me to the group?”
“I can’t make a decision on this. I need to ask someone else.” Zhang Chen continued to refuse.
“Junior Brother Zhang, you have to be careful of others. Many people have harmed their fellow disciples under the guise of capturing demon beasts together. I’m already familiar with Junior Brother Zhang. I won’t harm you. If you go with me, you’ll be much safer,” he said in a threatening manner.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Sun. I’ll consider it.” No matter what Sun Jian’s motive was, the first half of his sentence was correct. Zhang Chen did not stay any longer after thanking him.
Looking at Zhang Chen’s departing figure, Sun Jian’s face darkened.
Does he really have a companion?
he wondered.
Then how do I make a move?
I’ll just take it step by step. If I don’t have the chance to act, I’ll give up.
Back in his cave, Zhang Chen studied the map and the beast breeding bag.
The area recorded on the map was only a few hundred miles near the Blood God Sect.
From the map, the Demon Beast Mountain Range was not very far from the Blood God Sect, about a hundred miles away. For cultivators who could fly or use escape techniques, this distance was relatively close.
It was unknown if it was the Demon Beast Mountain Range came first or the Blood God Sect.
However, Zhang Chen guessed that it was likely because of the presence of the Demon Beast Mountain Range that the Blood God Sect chose to settle nearby.
After all, demon blood was an indispensable cultivation resource for the disciples of the Blood God Sect, just like the relationship between farmers and fields.
Perhaps the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range were raised by the Blood God Sect.
After studying the map, Zhang Chen picked up the beast breeding bag.
When his consciousness entered the beast breeding bag, Zhang Chen saw a desolate space filled with an unknown fog. Unfortunately, there were no demon beasts for him to experiment with.
Although he had a horse demon in the beast garden, according to the Affairs disciple, he needed to subdue the demon beast before he could bring it into the bag.
He couldn’t possibly go over and severely injure the horse demon, could he?
Zhang Chen’s realm was low and his knowledge was shallow. He did not understand the principle of the beast breeding bag. After playing with it for a while, he put it away in boredom.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chen walked towards the sect’s exit with some anticipation and excitement.
He could finally leave the sect and go out to see the outside world.
Zhang Chen did not inform Sun Jian, because he had planned to act alone from the beginning.
The Blood God Sect’s entrance was in a mountain valley, and Zhang Chen saw a huge blood jade archway from afar.
Unknown demonic gods were engraved on the archway, and blood flowed, making it seem alive.
A horizontal plaque with the three characters ‘Blood God Sect’ was on the top.
The words were crimson and constantly flowing with blood.
Under the archway stood a direct disciple and 10 inner sect disciples.
Of course, it wasn’t these disciples who restricted outsiders from leaving, but the array that shrouded the entire Blood God Sect.
“Junior Brother Zhang Chen greets the senior brothers.” Zhang Chen bowed to everyone.
“Are you going out to capture demon beasts?” The direct disciple was already used to it and asked calmly.
“Yes, Senior Brother. This is my identity token.” Zhang Chen handed the token over.
An inner sect disciple took the token and nodded after confirming it. “This is your first time out on a mission. Do you know about the curse?”
“I learned a little from the Internal Affairs Hall,” Zhang Chen replied.
“I won’t waste my breath telling you more. Just remember to return within three months. If there are any unexpected delays, you must find a way to return within six months, or you will die!”
“I understand.”
“When you return, infuse spiritual energy into your identity token. The sect’s array formation will guide you through the illusion array outside.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother.”
After giving his instructions, the inner sect disciple turned around and bowed to the direct disciple. “Senior Brother, please cast the spell.”
