"Mr. Zhao, why are you here with me?" Xu Jie looked at Mr. Zhao in front of him and said.
Zhao Laoduan sat on the chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers. He thought about it for a while, and then said: "Xu boy, how have you been practicing recently?"
"Well, it's okay. Tell me what you want to see me for." Xu Jie frowned and replied.
"You kid, why are you so anxious? It's not a big deal." Mr. Zhao blew his beard and glared, "A strange thing happened a few days ago. The sect is sending people to investigate, and your nomination was included among them, so...
"
"So, I'm going, right?" Xu Jie said bluntly, already roughly understanding what Mr. Zhao was going to say.
"Well, if you have no objections, you are going." Mr. Zhao said slowly, "But if you have any objections, you can raise them or not go. After all, this mission is not easy, and the sect will not
I force you to go, and I ask you to come here just to ask for your opinion. Whether you go or not, the decision is yours."
"What level of mission?" Xu Jie stretched out his sword eyebrows when he heard this. He thought it was nothing more than a mission. This situation is very normal in Jingwu Sect. Many disciples will take the initiative to take on some missions.
After completion, you will receive corresponding rewards and contribution to the sect.
Mr. Zhao frowned slightly when he saw that Xu Jie didn't care too much, and said: "This mission is more complicated. It is dangerous and dangerous, and it is safe and safe. The key is that the variables are relatively large."
"Why was my name mentioned directly?" Xu Jie asked rhetorically without answering. His intuition told him that this direct nomination event was not simple.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao frowned and said: "Two-thirds of the elders at the top of the sect have agreed to let you participate in this mission. As for who mentioned your name, I don't know."
"Two-thirds of the elders? There are a total of eighteen Martial King elders in the sect, and now twelve elders agree?" Xu Jie asked in surprise. He already had a rough idea of who nominated him to participate in this mission.
An understanding.
In the sect, the only person who had issues with him was Wei Wei. The boy was probably responsible for the nomination. Of course, it is not ruled out that the senior sect directly nominated him, but the chance of this is obviously not as high as the former.
.
From Mr. Zhao's words, Xu Jie understood that this task should not be too easy, and it should be something that must be done in the near future. Therefore, due to the short time, the sect's senior officials directly nominated him.
Xu Jie naturally laughed at Mr. Zhao's suggestion that he should not consider it.
If he really chooses not to go, I'm afraid someone will immediately jump out and say that Xu Jie is timid and that he doesn't care about the sect.
Although Xu Jie doesn't care much about what others say, it's not easy to be called a coward. A cultivator who doesn't even have the courage to face danger is truly shameful.
What's more, Xu Jie had planned to go out for a walk, so he didn't have much resistance to this mission.
However, since you have chosen to go, you must understand the situation clearly before proceeding. Being blindly reckless is not Xu Jie's style.
Thinking of this, Xu Jie asked again: "What is this mission about?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao frowned and said slowly: "Two days ago, a small village fifty thousand miles away from the sect was washed with blood, and all the villagers in it were turned into things similar to mummies, as if they had been killed by human beings.
They were so raw that their flesh and blood had been sucked dry. Moreover, the whole bodies of these villagers were intact, with no wounds at all."
"But since no one has discovered what caused this phenomenon, the sect has no choice but to send a small team of cultivators to understand the situation before making plans."
Xu Jie thought about what Mr. Zhao said, and after a while, he asked: "What can be used to suck warriors into humans?"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao thought for a while and said: "There are many situations that can cause this phenomenon. Some of them, as you know, are nothing more than some evil cultivators and evil practices that require the absorption of human flesh and blood essence to achieve a breakthrough."
"In addition, there are some monsters, such as the beasts of hatred, cursed monsters, etc., that absorb the flesh and blood essence of other creatures to strengthen themselves. In short, there are many things that can suck human cultivators into themselves.
So the sect cannot confirm what it was that sucked all the villagers in that village into humans."
"Moreover, these evil creatures that rely on sucking the essence of flesh and blood are very cunning. They often make complete preparations before taking action, so that the cameras placed in certain places are destroyed. This makes it even more difficult.
Found the traces of those evil creatures."
Xu Jie fell into deep thought as he listened to Mr. Zhao's words.
He understands some of the things Mr. Zhao mentioned, but his understanding is not comprehensive.
He has only a limited understanding of evil beasts such as the Malicious Beast and the Curse Monster, and has no idea about the characteristics of these evil creatures and the strength of these creatures.
Right now, it seems that he will definitely go on this mission, so he must be fully prepared.
After a while, Xu Jie came back to his senses and asked: "Mr. Zhao, who else is on this mission?"
Mr. Zhao muttered: "Personal disciples Wei Wei and Yang Jing, core disciples Wu Hong, Cao Kong, and you."
After a pause, he asked again: "Will your little girlfriend follow you?"
Xu Jie nodded. Xu Yao had already told him that she would follow him wherever he went.
"Then there are only six of you in this mission. Since we don't know the origin of this place, you have to be careful and don't be careless." Mr. Zhao urged.
"When will we set off?" Xu Jie asked eloquently.
"If you have nothing to do, please go to the conference hall to gather in half an hour." Zhao Lao said.
"Well, okay, I'll be there in half an hour." Xu Jie said goodbye to Mr. Zhao, "Then I'll leave first, Mr. Zhao."
Mr. Zhao waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, remember to be careful and don't be impulsive when something happens."
After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhao, Xu Jie went straight back home and told Xu Yao about the mission.
After listening to Xu Jie's words, Xu Yao frowned slightly, "What is it that can suck a warrior into someone's body silently without any news?"
"Besides, hubby, did you say that we are going to have Weiwei along with us on this mission?"
A smile appeared on Xu Jie's face, very bright, and he said: "Yes, what Mr. Zhao told me should not be false."
"Oh, then we have to bring a lot of things." Xu Yao said after hearing this.
"Well, you need to bring all the necessary antidotes and cameras." Xu Jie replied loudly.
Half an hour later, Xu Jie and Xu Yao arrived at the conference hall of Jingwu Peak.
