Some of the tasks in the Hall of Merit are issued by people from the Tianyuan Sect, and some are collected from the world. One is to train the disciples; the other is to give the disciples opportunities to earn more training resources.
The escort mission that Shi Jingtian accepted was the mission commission collected by Tianyuan Sect from the rivers and lakes.
Shi Jingtian originally thought that he was the only one who accepted the mission, but when he arrived at the Bai family, he discovered that this was not the case at all. Counting him, eight people had accepted the mission issued by the Bai family.
Shi Jingtian didn't care about this. After all, the reward for the mission was 150,000 taels of silver per person, not a total of 150,000 taels of silver shared by everyone.
However, Shi Jingtian didn't care, but it didn't mean that others didn't care either. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a big man with red hair and curly beard said with an unhappy face: "Why are there some hairy boys who haven't even grown all their hair?"
, do you think money is so easy to earn?"
Shi Jingtian knew that the guy was talking about him, but he didn't say anything more and walked directly to the pillar.
"Another ungrateful coward, so bloodless!"
The big man with red hair and curly beard showed a contemptuous smile when he saw that Shi Jingtian had no reaction.
Although the others didn't say anything, they looked at Shi Jingtian with no respect in their eyes. Faced with such a provocation from the red-haired and bearded man, the other party did not move, which showed that he was not very capable, let alone courageous.
Shi Jingtian didn't care about these Jianghu people. Although the strength of these people in front of him was not weak, there was still some gap compared to the opponents he had fought against.
"Everyone, I am Bai Feng, the third elder of the Bai family. I am very happy that you can accept the escort mission issued by my Bai family. With your help, we will be able to reach the Red Dragon Valley safely."
Not long after Shi Jingcai came in, a man with some gray hair on his temples walked into the courtyard.
"It turns out to be the third elder of the Bai family. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Everyone clasped their fists and bowed their hands to the third elder of the Bai family. After all, he was the financial owner. Although his strength was not outstanding, they still had to be polite when people gave him money.
"You are all well-known figures, so you are welcome. We have to act together in the next few days, and the Bai family must count on you to escort us with all your strength."
Bai Feng, the third elder of the Bai family, glanced at everyone.
"Third Elder, I don't know who we are asked to escort to the Red Dragon Mountains this time?"
In the mission announced by the Bai family, they did not specify who was to be escorted. In order to determine the danger of this operation, everyone must know who the person was to be escorted and for what purpose.
"To be honest, I was escorting the eldest young master of the Bai family to the Scarlet Dragon Mountains. My ancestor was injured and trapped in the Scarlet Dragon Mountains. We need to use the direct bloodline of the Bai family as a guide, and then use the power of the Nine Transformations Return to Yuan Dan to recover from the injury.
The family chief is in charge of the overall situation in the Bai family, so we must escort the eldest young master and the Nine-Turn Return to Yuan Dan to the Red Dragon Valley to heal our ancestors. After we successfully arrive at the Red Dragon Valley, we will pay each of you 150,000 taels of silver.
.But the ugly words are ahead. This road will definitely not be peaceful, and the Bai family cannot guarantee that the news of the Nine Transformations Returning to Yuan Dan will not leak out, so there will definitely be bandits who come out to rob them on the road. Don't hold back when the time comes, and you must do your best.
To go."
When someone asked, the third elder of the Bai family did not hide anything and directly told the mission.
After hearing what Bai Feng, the third elder of the Bai family, said, Shi Jingtian frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong.
"It's okay to let me take full action, but Third Elder, your Bai family invites someone to escort you, don't you need to verify the other party's strength?"
The big man with red hair and curly beard asked immediately after hearing what the third elder of the Bai family said.
"That's not true. I know that you are Tang Jie, the Lion of Thunder and Fire, and these five are the Five Heroes of Xijiang. They are all powerful enough to be qualified for this mission."
"Of course I have no problem with the Five Heroes of Xijiang, but what skills can those two brats have at such a young age? They just want to make some money for free. How about this, the third elder dismisses them, and their share of the reward will be divided equally.
Leave it to me and the Five Heroes of Xijiang."
Tang Jie, a big man with red hair and curly beard, glanced at Shi Jingtian and another young man of sixteen or seventeen years old and said.
"What did you say!"
Before Shi Jingtian could say anything, the other young man simply quit.
"I'm telling you that you two fresh-faced boys don't have much ability, so don't imitate others and take on random tasks. Get out of here, or you, Uncle Tang, won't show mercy."
Tang Jie's voice was like thunder, reverberating throughout the courtyard.
"Haha, okay, if you have the ability, give it a try."
The popular young man said with a smile.
"Arrogant! Today I will let you know how powerful Uncle Tang is."
Tang Jie was also very angry by the other party. While speaking, he had already punched the young man and rushed towards him.
Cang!——
The young man unsheathed his long sword, and the long sword turned into a rainbow and attacked Tang Jie directly.
Tang Jie did not expect the opponent's attack to be so fierce, so he retreated hurriedly.
But by this time it was already too late. The young man drew his sword too quickly and too consistently.
"It's "Liuyun Sword Jue". Are you a disciple of Feiyun Sect?"
Tang Jie was forced to the corner and hurriedly asked.
"Jiang He, the true disciple of Feiyun Sect."
The young man said proudly.
"It turns out that he is a true disciple of Feiyun Sect. I misjudged him and was disrespectful."
Although Tang Jie, a big man with red hair and beard, didn't want to, he couldn't offend Feiyunmen.
After hearing the man's name, Shi Jingtian felt enlightened. Before, he was curious about which force the other party came from. If it was the Feiyun Sect, it would make sense.
In the Yunlong Empire, the five major sects are naturally the most powerful forces, but in addition to the five major sects, there are also some small sects. Their strength is definitely not as good as the five major sects, but they are stronger than ordinary families and casual cultivators.
Shao. Feiyun Sect is one of the small sects nearby.
Tang Jie was furious. He originally wanted to make more money, but he didn't expect that he would lose all his face. But at this time, he saw Shi Jingtian shaking his head. This guy immediately became angry and shouted at Shi Jingtian.
: "Why are you shaking your head? Get out of here."
While Tang Jie was speaking, he had already swung his fist towards Shi Jingtian.
Shi Jingtian looked at Tang Jie, who was attacking him, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer, but he just stood there and did not take any action.
In an instant, Tang Jie's fist fell on Shi Jingtian.
boom!--
A muffled sound came immediately.
Then Tang Jie's figure stepped back one after another, and one arm dropped directly.
Looking at Shi Jingtian now, he was still standing there as steady as a mountain, not even moving.
"You!...Who are you and how can you be so powerful?"
The bones in Tang Jie's arm had been diagnosed by the powerful force of the shock, and the injury was not serious. At this moment, he looked at Shi Jingtian in horror. The opponent had injured him without even making a single move. This was simply unbelievable.
"Want to seek revenge from me? Okay, when do you think you are more capable, you can go to Tianyuan Sect to find me. My name is Shi Jingtian."
Shi Jingtian dusted the clothes on his chest and said.
"It turned out to be a master from the Tianyuan Sect. This time I, Tang Jie, have admitted defeat."
Tang Jie was dejected. He was also a warrior at the sixth level of Yuanling Realm, but Shi Jingtian injured him without even moving his hands. This kind of strength was not something that he, Tang Jie, could touch.
"Third Elder, I have no choice but to withdraw this time and take my leave."
After Tang Jie said that, he dragged his broken arm out of the yard.
The third elder of the Bai family frowned slightly, with a complex look in his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because Tang Jie left or something else.
"Third Elder, Tang Jie is gone, how much of his share will we divide?"
At this time, Lei Heng, the eldest of the Five Heroes of Xijiang, spoke.
"This is not a problem. Everyone, please take a rest. We will leave in a moment."
After Bai Feng finished speaking, he immediately left the yard.
After half a stick of incense, Bai Feng appeared again, leading Shi Jingtian and others outside the gate.
At this time, preparations were completed outside the gate of the Bai family. There was a carriage parked in front of the door. Next to the carriage, stood an old man with a somewhat stooped figure.
The person sitting in the carriage should be the eldest young master of the Bai family. But in this case, Shi Jingtian was even more surprised. The eldest young master of the Bai family should be a strong warrior, so why should he ride in the carriage?
Not to mention the men, even the women from these aristocratic families often ride horses and seldom ride in cars when they go out.
"Is it possible that the eldest young master of the Bai family is a dandy good-for-nothing?"
Shi Jingtian frowned, unable to guess the key to this.
"Everyone, in order to hurry up, our Bai family has prepared a silver dragon colt. Please mount the horse."
When Bai Feng, the third elder of the Bai family, was speaking, he took the lead in leading a white horse and turned over on the horse's back.
Shi Jingtian, the Five Heroes of Xijiang and Jiang He, the true disciple of Feiyun Sect, also turned into Silver Dragon Horses.
"Set off!"
Bai Feng, who was accompanying him, shouted loudly, then kicked the stirrup with both feet, and the silver dragon pony stepped forward steadily.
It was a full ten days' journey from Tianyuan City to Scarlet Dragon Valley. Shi Jingtian and several other people who had accepted the mission followed Bai Feng, traveling during the day and resting at night. Three days passed quickly.
There had been no disturbances in the past three days, mainly because they were still far away from Chijiao Valley, and the terrain here was relatively open and not suitable for bandits to set up ambush.
"ah!……"
The peaceful time was broken by a scream.
Something happened to the team escorting the eldest young master of the Bai family on the night of the fourth day.
Shi Jingtian rushed out of the temporary tent and headed directly towards the direction where the screams came from.
Others also heard the screams, and everyone quickly gathered together.
At this time, everyone discovered that a dark and thin man among the Five Heroes of Xijiang had fallen beside the carriage, with an arrow still remaining in his chest.
"What's going on? This!...Who did this?"
Bai Feng flew over and saw the body lying on the ground, with a solemn expression on his face.
"I didn't see clearly either. He passed by and suddenly fell down."
The man driving the bus was hunched over the handlebars and shivering, looking as if he was scared.
"There are no traces of fighting here. The fourth child was probably killed by a sneak attack. If such an arrow wants to hit the fourth child, the opponent's strength is definitely not weak."
The eldest of the Five Heroes of Xijiang, Lei Heng, looked gloomy. The Five Heroes of Xijiang had traveled around the world for so many years and had always advanced and retreated together. Unexpectedly, one of them lost one of them today.
"This?...could he be a member of the Wu family?"
Bai Feng seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly.
"Wu family? Which Wu family?"
Wei Zhong, the third among the Five Heroes of Xijiang, asked.
"This...I won't hide it from you. The Wu family and my Bai family have a long-standing grudge. They can be said to be mortal enemies. The Wu family and our Bai family have been fighting for decades, and both want to get rid of each other. Ruona
The Wu family knows that our ancestor of the Bai family is injured and knows the purpose of our trip, so they might take action to intercept him."
Bai Feng looked solemn, as if he sensed something bad. This chapter has been completed!
