Chapter 511 Action
Duan Qing walked into the Wanxiang Palace and found that there were fewer people now than at noon. There was no queue in the rooms on both sides.
He remembered that Xue Wanyun said that the row of rooms on the left was where tasks were accepted, and the right was where tasks were handed in.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing walked straight to one of the rooms on the left.
The room had no door, and there was only a vaguely visible transparent barrier at the door.
According to his observation, the transparent barrier meant that there was no one inside. If someone entered, the barrier would turn into gray mist, blocking the situation inside.
Through the transparent barrier, Duan Qing could see a table in the room, and a gray-clothed man with a wooden expression and dull eyes sat in front of the table.
Duan Qing was slightly stunned, and then he took out the Shinto Order and held it in his hand like other people he had seen, and walked into the transparent barrier.
When he walked into the room, he looked back and saw that the barrier behind him had turned into a misty gray mist, completely blocking his sight.
"What do you want to accept?"
At this time, the gray-clothed man behind the table suddenly spoke.
His voice was emotionless, neither male nor female, and had no tone, which sounded very strange.
Even while talking, he didn't even look at Duan Qing.
Duan Qing walked to the table and said respectfully: "Mission No. 126, thank you for your trouble!"
Each mission in the Shinto Order has a corresponding number. Mission No. 126 is to kill the traitor Liu Yuanji of Wudingmen.
The gray-clothed man was silent for a moment, and then stiffly stretched out his hand to Duan Qing. "Shinto Order."
Duan Qing handed the Shinto Order to the gray-clothed man without saying anything.
At the same time, he curiously used the Qi-Looking Technique to observe the black-clothed man in front of him.
What surprised him was that he couldn't tell what kind of cultivation he had. The gray-clothed man in front of him was just like an ordinary person.
But the feeling he gave him was completely different from that of an ordinary person, because he could clearly feel the fluctuation of spiritual power on him.
But the fluctuation of spiritual power was very strange, and it was impossible to see his cultivation at all!
This was the first time he encountered such a thing.
Duan Qing became more and more curious, and opened his perception to observe the gray-clothed man.
This perception immediately surprised him even more.
The person in front of him... has no breath at all!
It's like... he's dead!
At this time, the gray-clothed man was holding Duan Qing's Shinto Order, injecting a stream of spiritual power into it, and then handed it to Duan Qing, saying expressionlessly: "Task No. 126, accepted and completed."
Duan Qing came back to his senses and noticed that the gray-clothed man's palm was a little too white.
He looked at his arm inside his sleeve again, and saw that the connection between his arm and palm was not flesh, but connected by a machine.
Seeing this, Duan Qing suddenly realized.
It turned out to be a mechanical man!
No wonder it gave him such a strange feeling.
He had been with Yu Fan of the Tiangong Sect for some time, so he was naturally familiar with the machine.
He thought that only the Tiangong Sect in the Middle Earth was proficient in the art of machinery, but he didn't expect that the Shinto Sect was also quite accomplished in the art of machinery.
And they also used mechanical men to handle sect tasks!
It must be said that the mechanical man in front of him was very delicate and lifelike. Except for his dull appearance, he was no different from a real person.
Even Duan Qing didn't notice it at first.
Even from the performance of the mechanical man before, he should have a certain degree of intelligence, otherwise he would not be able to accept the task for him.
It is worthy of being the Shinto Sect, with a deep foundation.
After receiving the Shinto Order from the gray-clothed mechanical man, although he knew that he was not a real person, Duan Qing still said politely to him: "Thank you."
The gray-clothed mechanical man did not respond and still sat quietly behind the desk.
Thinking that he was talking to an emotionless mechanical man, Duan Qing smiled helplessly and turned to walk out of the room.
After leaving the room, Duan Qing turned his hand to look at the Shinto Order in his hand and found that a string of numbers were faintly lit on its smooth surface.
That number was the number of the sect's task to kill the traitor Liu Yuanji of the Wuding Sect, one hundred and twenty-six.
Then he immersed his mind in the Shinto Order.
The one hundred and twenty-sixth task had become dim.
Seeing this, Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, put away the Shinto Order, and walked out of the Wanxiang Palace.
At this time, the sky was basically dark, and the stars in the sky emitted faint starlight, illuminating the earth.
Duan Qing did not hesitate, performed the sword-controlling technique, and flew down the mountain.
For cultivators, there is basically no difference between day and night. Since the mission has been received, he doesn't care about day and night, and he will set off first.
The two tasks assigned by Mu Yu put a lot of pressure on him, so he didn't want to waste any time.
The next morning.
Duan Qing looked at Wuding City in the sky from afar, feeling a little emotional.
He just left here yesterday, and didn't want to come back so soon.
Originally, at his speed, he could reach Wuding City in the middle of the night, but considering that everyone in the city had rested in the middle of the night, he could only wait when he arrived.
After all, he didn't even know where Wuding Gate was, and he had to ask someone for directions first.
So he deliberately flew slower, and arrived at Wuding City after dawn.
The advice given to him by the eldest senior brother was not without reason. The whereabouts of the Wuding Sect traitor Liu Yuanji were unknown. According to the information mentioned in the task, we only knew that he was still wandering around Santai County.
If we want to know his specific location, we may have to start from Wuding Sect.
In fact, Duan Qing felt a little puzzled about this task.
Although Wuding Sect was only a small sect, it was not so difficult for them to deal with a traitor in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm.
Why did they entrust such a small matter to the Shinto Sect?
He knew without thinking that the sect issued a task to clean up the Wuding Sect, which was definitely not done in vain. Wuding Sect probably paid a certain price for it.
As for the specific price, he didn't know.
He only knew that if he completed this task, he would get 300 sect contributions.
...
Xu Shan was in a terrible mood at this time.
Because the sect master suddenly wanted to celebrate, he had to go to Zuixianju in advance yesterday, and wanted to get some Zuixian wine to deal with the task.
But who would have thought that he would run into a nosy kid, who embarrassed him in public and made him lose a drop of Zuixian wine.
He went back to Wuding Sect with a stiff upper lip, and was scolded by the sect master. If the sect master was not in a good mood and didn't bother with him, his position as a manager would have ended.
After being scolded by the sect master, he naturally wanted to redeem his impression in the sect master's mind and wanted to get the Zuixian wine done.
But because of that nosy boy, he was afraid that he was still in the inn, so he didn't dare to go to Zuixianju yesterday.
After waiting for a whole day, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to Wuding City again early this morning, ready to go to Zuixianju, and force Zuixianju to take out Zuixian wine no matter what, so that he could report.
Walking to the door of Zuixianju with a gloomy face, Xu Shan opened his perception and scanned the entire inn.
Finding that there were no cultivators in the inn, Xu Shan's expression eased a little and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Huh! Fortunately, that boy was not there.
