On this day, Luo Fan was practicing martial arts and consolidating the first level of Sky Shattering Spear Technique.
A deacon of the sect master's mansion who was at the ninth level of martial arts came over and said, "Luo Fan, the great elder has summoned you."
Luo Fan stopped practicing, frowned slightly, and said: "Zhao Ang, it has been more than a month since I became the direct disciple of the sect master. The great elder has never summoned me. Why did he suddenly summon me today?"
The deacon of the sect leader's mansion named Zhao Ang is also a martial artist of the Zhao family, but his qualifications are average and he has not yet been able to break through to the true way even though he is over thirty years old.
Of course, this qualification is ordinary, but compared to the true Taoist masters of the Zhao family, in fact, the cultivation of the ninth level of martial arts is already extremely good.
In the four counties under the jurisdiction of Xuanyang Sect, the ninth level of martial arts is the strongest person standing at the top of any county.
That is to say, in large sects such as Xuanyang Sect, the ninth level of martial arts only has the status of deacon.
Zhao Ang didn't have a good look on Luo Fan and said: "When the great elder summons you, just go. When you see the great elder, you will naturally know what is going on."
Luo Fan knew that the Zhao family had some objections to him, so he didn't ask any more questions and said, "Let's go."
Luo Fan remembers clearly that when Big Black Bull captured Gong Zhenchun alive and brought him back to Xuanyang Sect, Gu Mingqiu was in seclusion to attack the fourth level of the true way. The person in charge of Xuanyang Sect was the great elder Zhao Hongcheng.
At that time, Zhao Hongcheng convened a meeting of many elders to study how to deal with Gong Zhenchun. Fang Liming, the elder of the execution hall, proposed that Gong Zhenchun be sent back to Tianji Sect, and Luo Fan was also sent there. Zhao Hongcheng was convinced of this proposal at the time.
Moreover, when Luo Fan was angry, Zhao Hongcheng also reprimanded Luo Fan. If Gu Mingqiu hadn't happened to be there to break through the fourth level of the true way and diverted everyone's attention, we still don't know how it would have ended.
Now, when Great Elder Zhao Hongcheng summoned him, Luo Fan instinctively felt that this was not a good thing.
Luo Fan followed Zhao Ang and left the sect master's mansion, and soon arrived at the great elder's mansion.
Zhao Hongcheng was waiting for Luo Fan in the hall. He stood with his back to the door and his hands behind his back.
Zhao Ang led Luo Fan into the hall and left.
Luo Fan entered the hall and looked at Zhao Hongcheng's back. Zhao Hongcheng did not turn around and said: "Here?"
Luo Fan clasped his fists and said: "Disciple Luo Fan, I have met the great elder."
Zhao Hongcheng then turned around, staring at Luo Fan with a pair of eyes like tiger eyes. Luo Fan felt a huge coercion coming towards him.
Luo Fan said: "The great elder summoned the disciples, what's the matter?"
Zhao Hongcheng looked at Luo Fan and said after a while: "Luo Fan, it has been almost four months since you entered the sect, right?"
Luo Fan nodded. He remembered the date very clearly: "Yes, three months and twenty-one days."
On March 3rd, Luo Fan participated in the Xuanyang Sect's disciple selection in Qinghe County.
On March 4th, Luo Fan entered Xuanyang Sect and became a disciple of Qinghe Hall.
Today is already June 25th. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost four months since I entered Xuanyang Sect.
Zhao Hongcheng said: "Then do you know that disciples of this sect must complete a sect task within three months, and you have already exceeded the time limit."
Luo Fan has read the sect rules and it seems that there is no such restriction for new outer disciples in their first year.
However, Luo Fan has changed from an outer disciple to a direct disciple of the sect master, and the sect rules he has read do not say what should happen to a direct disciple of the sect master, so naturally he is not sure whether he should also complete the sect's mission.
Luo Fan asked tentatively: "Do you want to be a direct disciple of the sect master?"
Zhao Hongcheng looked solemn and said: "A direct disciple of the sect master is not a disciple of the sect? Except for Su Youxuan, who has been specially told by the sect master not to leave the sect, everyone else has to complete sect tasks.
I just have a task for you. The Cheng family in Beichuan County, Qinghe County, has a son ‘Cheng Jiang’ who entered the sect six years ago and became a disciple of the outer sect Qinghe Hall.
Twenty days ago, Cheng Jiang took ten days off to visit his family, but failed to return. Five days ago, Qinghe County sent a fifth-level martial arts disciple ‘Qian Yuankun’ to visit his family in Beichuan County.
Yesterday, Qian Yuankun came back and said that everything in the Cheng family was fine, but Cheng Jiang did not want to return to Xuanyang Sect. He asked Qian Yuankun to bring a dictionary and asked to leave Xuanyang Sect.
Although Qian Yuankun was very sure that there was nothing unusual about the Cheng family, it was extremely rare for Cheng Jiang, as a disciple of the sect, to suddenly leave the sect.
I guess that something happened to the Cheng family, but ordinary disciples couldn't find it out. As the sect leader's direct disciple, this task is entrusted to you.
You set off immediately to go to the Cheng family in Beichuan City, Qinghe County, to find out everything. Remember to bring your pet Black Bull with you. Regardless of whether any problems are found, you must bring Cheng Jiang back to the clan to investigate."
Luo Fan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was a strange thing.
It is very abnormal to leave the sect once you return to your family.
Being able to become a disciple of the Xuanyang Sect is the dream of many family warriors. The Cheng family is just a martial arts family in the county level. It should be a great joy to have a disciple become a disciple of the Xuanyang Sect. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to let it happen.
The children of the family left the Xuanyang Sect.
Since a fifth-level martial arts disciple went to see him and no problem was found, it is obvious that the problem cannot be solved by a fifth-level martial arts practitioner.
This mission does not seem dangerous, but in fact everything is full of unknowns and it is a difficult mission. No wonder Zhao Hongcheng reminded Luo Fan to take the big black bull with him.
Zhao Hongcheng is now in charge of the Xuanyang Sect. He handed over a task, and Luo Fan naturally could not refuse and said: "Yes, Great Elder, I will definitely bring Cheng Jiang back to the sect for investigation."
Zhao Hongcheng waved his hand and said: "Go!"
Luo Fan left, and Zhao Hongcheng looked at Luo Fan's back until Luo Fan walked out the door.
"Asking you to do a sect mission is not a embarrassment to you, but whether you can do it well or not depends on your luck and performance."
Zhao Hongcheng murmured.
The Cheng family in Beichuan City is just a sixth-level martial arts family. To the Xuanyang Sect, this kind of martial arts family is like an ant.
However, Zhao Hongcheng had an intuition that the affairs of the Cheng family should not be simple.
He just said that it is extremely rare for a sect disciple to propose leaving the sect after returning to visit his family. In fact, this is not the case. It has never happened.
Therefore, there is definitely something going on with the Cheng family.
A fifth-level martial arts disciple went there, but found nothing. It can be seen that a fifth-level martial arts practitioner couldn't find even a single flaw in what happened to the Cheng family.
This also proves that what happened to the Cheng family is not trivial.
Luo Fan took the big black bull and set off from Xuanyang Sect.
Although he could also feel that things in the Cheng family were not simple, he still felt confident with the big black bull at his side.
The Cheng family is only a sixth-level martial arts family, but Da Hei Niu has even captured Gong Zhenchun, a second-level true Taoist, alive.
