Chapter 335
How did Chapter 335 turn into "Suffering for Me"?
How did Chapter 335 turn into "It's My Turn to Suffer"?
My name is Luo Jian.
Previously, as a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, I successfully established my foundation and formed my core with the help of my family, eventually entering the inner sect.
After entering the inner sect, I realized that I, who was considered an outstanding person in Luoyun City, was just an ordinary person in the inner sect.
Even the rarest talents in the city are as numerous as carp crossing a river here.
Even the privileged few, who possess vast resources, face numerous difficulties.
Moreover, I'm from a small place.
My former pride has suffered a huge blow here, and this is just the beginning.
After reaching the Golden Core stage, further advancement becomes many times more difficult than anticipated.
The difficulty of the techniques and spells is terrifying.
It is incredibly difficult to even understand.
But those people still say that there are no true geniuses in the Golden Core stage, and that talent is not manifested in the Golden Core stage.
Most people are still making rapid progress.
As for me, my progress is slow.
Isn't it already on the verge of being eliminated?
Thinking about all this, I was filled with anxiety and unease.
The family's hopes and future prospects seemed to have collapsed all at once.
Unsurprisingly, it took me a considerable amount of time to advance to the peak of the Golden Core stage.
I single-handedly supported the family.
I think this is my limit. If I don't have any other opportunities, this is how my life will be.
However, the family has no successor, and if I am not here, the Luo family will not last long.
I still want to give it a try.
There was simply no chance to fight.
Just when I was about to resign myself to my fate, I received an undercover mission.
Lingyue Sect.
A place that gives me hope.
When I arrived, I realized how much demand there was for cultivation techniques here.
They need the techniques, they need to understand them, and they need some management.
In particular, their sect leader also realized this.
I can do these things.
What I need are resources and hope.
They have these.
In the end, we hit it off immediately.
I left the Misty Cloud Sect and became the Grand Elder of the Lingyue Sect.
I am well aware of the power of the Misty Cloud Sect and would never do anything that cannot be undone.
Even after the Mist Cloud Sect came to my aid, I still stayed here.
As for my family, if I succeed, they will also be able to rise in status.
If I fail, my family, with no successor, is destined to decline and perish.
Why not let them gamble with me?
As it turns out, I won my bet.
Not only did I complete the promotion, but I also received news that the sect was expanding its recruitment.
Lingyue Sect was among them.
I became a formal member of the sect once again.
Luo Jian stood behind the sect leader, watching him sign the document.
Once he signs this document, his future will be bright.
The moment Luo Jian saw the sect leader complete the signature, a huge weight was lifted from his heart.
He has once again gained official status.
All the hardships come.
The future holds more possibilities, and families that have been out of touch for so long can finally reconnect.
Although they may not be doing well now, they will be able to do better in the future.
Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the other party sign the contract.
The task is now more than halfway complete.
All that's left is the handover, followed by contacting the sect.
Resources can now be distributed.
People here receive the training they need and pursue further education as they see fit.
In addition, the most important thing is to register your identity.
Finally, there is the popularization of simplified laws.
These are not Jiang Man's responsibilities; they are Zhuo Qingcheng's and the others' business.
"Find me a quiet place, I'm going to start cultivating," Jiang Man said.
He Que frowned and said, "Senior Brother, are you going to cultivate again? Shouldn't you be dealing with the suddenly appearing powerful figure?"
Jiang Man turned to look at the other person and said, "What you said makes sense."
Then he said to the sect leader, "You are in danger here. Now you are under the jurisdiction of the Misty Cloud Sect and have the right to ask for help. Talk to Senior Sister Zhuo and ask her to ask the sect for help for you."
Someone will come to help soon.
"what?"
Not only the sect leader, but even Zhuo Qingcheng was stunned.
Is that how it's calculated?
Senior, are you sure you didn't break the rules?
Han Meixue said cautiously, "Senior brother, the situation is similar to before."
“Two different things,” Jiang Man said seriously. “There was no report this time.”
Three days later.
Jiang Man received feedback from the sect.
This is a special communication, a special communication for the expansion of enrollment; otherwise, it would be even slower.
It's quite far.
"What's the conclusion?" Jiang Man asked.
Zhuo Qingcheng said somewhat awkwardly, "The sect's missions are now managed by the Enforcement Hall, so Senior Brother Ren Qian replied saying that you violated the rules this time."
Jiang Man was taken aback and asked in surprise, "How is this against the rules? It's different from before."
“It’s different.” Zhuo Qingcheng nodded and said, “But a few days ago someone did something similar to my senior brother, so this matter was blocked.”
Jiang Man was surprised to find himself the one who needed to suffer.
It was just a few days short, what a pity.
The people recruited this time are all formidable individuals.
Zhuo Qingcheng paused for a moment, then said, "But there's good news."
Jiang Man did not speak, but listened quietly.
“Although it’s against the rules, the law hasn’t been officially issued yet, so it can still be counted as two tasks.” Zhuo Qingcheng added, “But it only counts as a task, not an extra reward. Besides, Senior Brother still has to do this, as it’s related to the expansion of enrollment merits.”
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised. Was this considered two tasks?
This has no effect on anyone else.
But it would be very useful to him.
At least I won't have to go on any more missions next year.
It's really a loss for him that a single mission takes so long.
I couldn't go back this time, and I'll lose 100,000 yuan.
If I can't go back next year, I'll lose the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level.
Therefore, this task is better than the reward.
He will be able to cultivate even better next year.
good thing.
Jiang Man immediately nodded: "We accept the mission. Call the sect leader and the others over."
However, only the sect leader and the young sect leader came.
"Where is your Grand Elder?" Jiang Man asked curiously.
"He's gone to the sect for further studies, arranged by Fairy Zhuo," the sect leader said immediately.
"Judging from his appearance, he seems familiar with the sect, so I arranged for him to go. The young sect leader will also be going later," Zhuo Qingcheng explained.
The missing information is just a normal record.
Jiang Man thought the other party would probably go to Luoyun City first.
Now that his status is normal, he naturally has to go back to his family.
The Luo family is about to change.
I wonder what Little Fatty will think.
Will Luo Xuan stay outside the shop to look after it?
Jiang Man found this quite interesting.
He decided to write a letter to Miss Himemon later, and he would write this.
But we need to complete the task first.
He inquired about the whereabouts and traces of those people's activities.
"They said they'd be watching us from the shadows, and that this place would belong to them sooner or later," the sect leader said after a moment's thought. "But we haven't seen them make any other moves."
"They came for the Sword Tomb?" Jiang Man asked.
"That should be true, after all, the Sword Tomb is the only valuable thing here," the sect leader said.
He no longer cared about the arrangements made by the Sword Tomb.
The environment here will only be better than before, because he has been listening to the decrees of the Mist Cloud Sect these past few days.
In short, the goal is to restore the environment, allow the earth to recuperate, and enable everyone to cultivate immortality. While this may seem somewhat far-fetched and fantastical.
But the general direction is good.
They are too weak now and are being targeted.
We need to join the bulk as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it.
Furthermore, they haven't been involved in any arrests recently, and as long as they don't do anything that crosses the sect's bottom line, no one should mention it again.
If you cross the line, you're doomed no matter what.
Jiang Man decided to go and see the Sword Tomb.
Ordinary people cannot see the special features inside.
The original sword intent was there, but the Lingyue Sect had no idea that it existed.
This thing is more precious than the entire Sword Tomb.
Those people came and hid in the shadows; Jiang Man didn't believe they were simply thinking.
Something must already be in progress.
They just hadn't noticed it all this time.
noon.
Jiang Man arrived at the Sword Tomb.
No one draws their sword here anymore.
"Are people not allowed to draw their swords anymore?" he asked the young sect leader who was leading the way.
"There haven't been any since last time; we've been letting our own people choose spirit swords through training," the young sect leader immediately said.
When that powerful figure arrived, everyone was sent away.
They wouldn't dare to act recklessly then.
I've decided to wait another ten or twenty years.
I never expected that what awaited me was such a good thing as being granted amnesty.
Jiang Man nodded and began to observe.
Now that he has advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he sees that the Sword Tomb is still the same as before, and he has not discovered anything.
It is clear that there are still other things hidden inside the Sword Tomb.
"Did Mr. Ji say anything at the time?" Jiang Man asked.
The young sect leader shook his head.
Afterwards, Jiang Man went to the Sword Tomb and tried to draw the sword.
They found that they still couldn't pull it out.
It has a tremendous suction force, even threatening to pull his mind in.
The special nature of this place inevitably attracts the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Moreover, it was someone with extensive knowledge and considerable ability who was spying on them.
Afterwards, Jiang Man strolled around the Sword Tomb and then entered various passages in the cave.
I searched many places, but found nothing.
He was puzzled as to where the item was.
It should be related to formations or space.
Jiang Man told the young sect leader to leave, and then sealed off the place.
He decided to try the methods of the evil god to see if he could discover anything.
Once the source of the problem is discovered, the person hiding in the shadows can be brought out.
Thus, the task is completed.
After everyone left, Jiang Man took out the array furnace and sealed the place in his own way.
Then he activated the evil god's technique.
Try to explore this place.

Outside of Lingyue Sect.
Seven people guarded seven different locations, and the surrounding formations operated, concealing their figures.
The last one, in particular, was very wary of his surroundings.
The array beneath their feet also allowed them to blend into the mountain range and observe the changes at the Lingyue Sect in the distance.
"The aura of the Immortal Sect's great prosperity has spread here, indeed dispelling some of the fog. The Immortal Sect's vitality has increased, no wonder they dare to expand recruitment." The white-haired man at the head exclaimed, "It's unbelievable that they can develop like this in just a few hundred years, literally saving this barren land."
"After all, they're the ones who made this happen. Ignorant people are still thanking the immortal sects. I wonder what their expressions will be when they know the truth." A woman next to her sneered, "Living in a box, they have no idea what the truth of this world is."
"The Immortal Sect destroyed their house and then gave them a stable, and they were even grateful to the point of tears."
"Never mind these useless things for now. Our mission is to find that thing and attract the ancient artifact," said the white-haired leader. "Don't assume that what you know is the truth. To the strong, we are no different from the Lingyue Sect."
"We must have a sense of awe."
The woman did not speak.
But she simply looked down on these ignorant people.
She believes that the truth she knows is the truth, and that she sees more and understands more clearly.
Another bald man asked, "How long are we supposed to wait? Besides, if we can't find it, is the Misty Cloud Sect really capable of finding it?"
"Yes, the Mist Cloud Sect is a major sect under the rule of the Immortal Sect. Their abilities are extraordinary. They have come and know about us. In order to expand their recruitment smoothly, they will definitely want to find us."
"And the root of everything is the Sword Tomb."
"They will start from the inside."
"Discover more."
"As long as they make a discovery, they can trigger our formation, and then we can reap the benefits."
"The only thing we need to be careful about is their cultivation level."
"According to our investigation, although the person who came is a prodigy, he only has the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if his Nascent Soul is invincible, we can still handle him," said a short woman behind them.
The white-haired man at the head nodded.
They gave the Lingyue Sect the impression that they were at most late-stage or perfect Nascent Soul cultivators, which gave the Wuyun Sect members some confidence.
Once you find the information, you can identify them and deal with them.
Give the other person hope, then let them act in accordance with that hope, and fall into the trap they have set.
Of course, they didn't have any particular intentions toward each other.
They just used it casually. If they no longer needed it, they would let the other party go if they could leave. If they were incompetent, it wouldn't be their fault for not letting the person go.
Rather, it was because the other party was less skilled, leaving them with no choice but to stay.
At this moment, the woman who had spoken first said, "The formation has moved. It must be that the Sword Tomb has been sealed off because the people from the Misty Cloud Sect were exploring inside."
“It’s alright. We can still sense the internal situation. If we find what we’re looking for, we can still detect it,” the white-haired man in the lead said.
Then they waited quietly.
The next day.
They sensed some strange fluctuations in energy that matched exactly what they were looking for.
"Found it?" The leading man frowned. "It doesn't seem like it. Let's wait a bit longer."
As time went by, they sensed fluctuations in energy several times.
But none of them look quite right.
Seven days later, the fluctuations in energy became much greater.
"I think so?" the bald man asked.
"It should have been found." The white-haired man at the head nodded.
They decided to go to Lingyue Sect, enter the Sword Tomb, and take what they wanted.
"Disperse the formation," the white-haired man at the head of the group said.
The six people quickly dismantled the formation.
There's just one spot missing.
They all turned to look at the last one.
"Old He, why don't you stop?" the leading man immediately questioned.
At this moment, "Old He" looked around, shrugged, and said in a youthful voice, "I'm not very good at it."
Upon hearing this, the pupils of the six people contracted.
"Who goes there?" the white-haired man at the head of the group immediately asked.
Then a swordsman behind him stepped forward, his swordsmanship becoming increasingly refined.
Magic, flying swords from beyond the heavens.
He held a long sword, descended from mid-air, and thrust it at "Old He".
However, just as he was about to succeed, "Old He" gently raised his index finger and touched the tip of the sword.
Click!
boom!
As the sword drew closer, it shattered continuously.
The next instant, the other party was completely close to "Old He".
At this moment, "Old He" moved his finger to the space between his eyebrows.
At that moment, a soft yet dazzling light appeared on "Old He's" fingers.
The light spread from his fingers, covering his entire body.
At the same time, he flicked his finger lightly on the forehead of the man holding the sword.
boom!
Blood spread, covering the land in all directions.
It even got on the feet of the white-haired man and his companions.
At this moment, the man who was covered in light smiled slightly and said, "I have been studying this formation for three days, but I still can't figure it out."
"Then I can only make you suffer a little and experience the pain."

Tomorrow is the last day for the monthly pass lottery!
