Chapter 2204 - 2163: The Mission Is Extermination of the Entire Clan

After Wang Xiaoqiang finished gathering his things, he went straight to the Great Hall of the Sect to find Xue Tiancheng. Upon arriving at the Great Hall, he saw Zhou Jingzhe was also present,

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, Zhou Jingzhe naturally didn't show a good face. She stared coldly at him, her beautiful eyes full of killing intent, looking as if she wished to tear Wang Xiaoqiang apart,

A beauty is a beauty. Even with a cold face and fierce eyes, brimming with killing intent, Zhou Jingzhe was not ugly. On the contrary, she was astonishingly beautiful, with a unique charm and poise worthy of appreciation.

Seeing Zhou Jingzhe glaring at him, Wang Xiaoqiang put on an innocent and pitiful look as if he were being bullied, and walked up to Xue Tiancheng,

Xue Tiancheng saw the two of them together again, still at odds with each other, and couldn't help but smile. Then he collected himself and sternly said, "Zhou Jingzhe, Wang Xiaoqiang, today's task is extremely important, and there's no room for carelessness. During the execution of this task, personal grievances are not acceptable at all. Whatever private grudges you have, put them aside. You must work together, assist each other..."

As soon as Xue Tiancheng finished speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately said, "Yes, disciple will remember Master's words, and will definitely respect and care for Junior Sister Zhou..."

Wang Xiaoqiang bit down hard on the word "care," which made Zhou Jingzhe both embarrassed and angry. She pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Pah, you pervert, I would never stand with you, let alone respect and care..."

She couldn't bring herself to spit out the last word "care." She was too shy to say it.

"Haha, all right. It's just a few arguments, no need to act like you're sworn enemies," said Xue Tiancheng, his face turning serious once more. He solemnly stated, "I reiterate, this task is not only secretive but also very important. It concerns the rise and fall of our sect as well as your lives. You must not let personal grievances delay even for a moment... Anyone who dares to harm their own during the task will be deemed a traitor to the sect, sentenced to the harshest punishment and extermination of their Nine Clans..."

To Wang Xiaoqiang, this was of little concern. His family and friends were on the Ancient Continent, so even if they pursued ten clans, they wouldn't reach them,

However, it was different for Zhou Jingzhe. The Zhou Family was near the Kaoshan Sect. If the sect decided to exterminate the Zhou Family Nine Clans, not a chicken or dog would remain.

Hearing this, Zhou Jingzhe was visibly shaken, not daring to speak further, nor did she dare to show any more hostility towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Shortly after, three more outer sect disciples entered the hall, all males, and all possessed the cultivation base of Five Spirits of Heavenly Beings, with strong powers.

With Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhou Jingzhe, the five members were all present. Xue Tiancheng waved his hand, and a restriction immediately sealed all the doors and windows of the hall. Only then did he speak, "You five are the top disciples of our outer sect, the cream of the crop. Now, you are valued by the Sect Master and are to be dispatched on a highly significant task. As for what the task is, you will learn once you reach the Sect Master's Hall. Here, I have three rules: First, during the task, no private grudges are to be addressed. Second, during the task, no one is to leave the group or retreat without authorization. Third, for a month after completing the task, no one is to enter the Kaoshan Sect, nor even come near."

The three rules made the five realize the importance of the task, but also left them more clueless, unable to guess what the task entailed...

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't know how the other four felt. He felt a bit uneasy, thinking that although this secret task might not be a trap, it wouldn't be anything good either. Otherwise, why couldn't they return to the sect freely after finishing the task?

Nevertheless, he didn't voice this. In any case, he planned to act according to circumstances when the time came. His family was not on this plane, so extermination of Nine Clans wouldn't reach him. As for his own life, with two Dead Spirit Puppets as his reliance, it wouldn't be that easy to lose it.

As the five of them whispered their doubts, Xue Tiancheng swept his sleeve and enveloped the five into his sleeve. Suddenly, he moved at lightning speed out of the hall, and when he reappeared, he was in the Sect Master's Hall,

In the Sect Master's Hall, the outer sect disciple leader and five inner sect disciples stood there, each with a solemn expression, looking serious, clearly feeling the gravity of the task as well.

Du Xiongshan stood in front of the hall's rear chamber, a small mountain floating behind him, majestic and solemn, emitting a weighty aura that gave an intense sense of pressure, extremely unusual.

Seeing Xue Tiancheng arrive with five outer sect disciples, Du Xiongshan gestured for him to join with the outer sect disciples. Ultimately, the five outer sect disciples and five inner sect disciples stood in a row, with Xue Tiancheng and the inner sect leader in front of the line.

Xue Tiancheng was at the One Soul of Heavenly Beings Stage, while the inner sect leader was at the Two Souls of Heavenly Beings Stage, and the five inner sect disciples were all within the range of Six Spirits of Heavenly Beings to Seven Spirits of Heavenly Beings in cultivation realm,

Yet the Sect Master Du Xiongshan was clearly at the Three Souls of Heavenly Beings Stage. The strongest of all. Moreover, the tiny mountain behind him emitted an irresistible sense of oppressive pressure.

With everyone present, Sect Master Du Xiongshan clasped his hands before himself and then opened them again, and suddenly a circular purple light spread out, forming a curtain of purple light that tightly sealed the entire hall, making it so that no one could enter or leave, and their sight and sound were completely isolated from the outside.

That purple restriction placed the hall in a state of complete isolation from the outside world.

"Alright, everyone's here," Du Xiongshan scanned everyone briefly and slowly opened his mouth, saying, "Aside from the leaders of the inner and outer sects present today, you are also the elite of the inner and outer sects. Of course, you are the executors of this task. You were chosen not because of your profound cultivation but because you are more loyal to the Kaoshan Sect, have a collective sense of honor, and even more of a sense of responsibility. I believe you can complete this task smoothly..."

At this point in Du Xiongshan's speech, he still hasn't revealed the task. The leaders of the inner and outer sects knew the task's details and were naturally not in a hurry, but the ten inner and outer sect disciples were all baffled and confused,

After the ten disciples' curiosity was piqued, Du Xiongshan finally said, "The purpose of this task is to kill, to kill Du Shuiyue's family, and not just one, but many, to exterminate Du Shuiyue's entire clan..."

When Du Xiongshan said this, all ten disciples below were utterly shocked and speechless. Damn, killing Du Shuiyue's family, wanting to wipe out the entire clan—is this going against Du Shuiyue and the Linshui Sect?

"Linshui Sect is stronger than our Kaoshan Sect, and Du Shuiyue's cultivation is inscrutably deep. Without absolute certainty, we shouldn't be so reckless. But we harbor hatred in our hearts, and we must seek revenge. So this time, we have to act, but we won't do it openly, we will do it secretly. We will proceed with assassination, annihilating Du Shuiyue's entire clan without exposing our identities."

The reason why these ten inner and outer sect disciples, including Wang Xiaoqiang, were chosen by Du Xiongshan for this assassination mission is mainly because all ten of them had grudges against Du Shuiyue, with various degrees of enmity, and all wanted to kill Du Shuiyue and his family.
