Chapter 28: The False Mission

ne person who entered here and was forever unable to leave.However, some people enter not because they have opened the Inheritance Gate, but because of the rules!Among the rules of the Yaoshenzong sec...The short, stout man was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He sneered coldly and said, "Boy, of course I know why you're looking for me. It's about that little girl's video, isn't it But even if I don't say anything, what are you going to do to me Are you going to snap my neck here Do you have the guts"

}“

He asked, "The sect prohibits killing fellow disciples, especially here in the square, with thousands of eyes watching. He doesn't believe Jiang Yun would dare to harm him, so he is completely fearless."

"Of course, I can't do anything to you here, so let's go somewhere else!"

As soon as Jiang Yun spoke, the short and stout man felt a sudden tightening of the hand gripping his neck. Immediately after, his body felt light, and he was lifted off the ground by Jiang Yun with one hand, completely out of control.

Meanwhile, Ginger Cloud's other hand was as swift as the wind, striking his throat with lightning speed, leaving him unable to utter a single sound.

The next moment, Jiang Yun had him by the back of his neck, shoving him toward the crowd.

Because of the wide sleeves concealing it, to others it looked as if Jiang Yun was hugging this person's shoulders, so no one suspected anything.

Just like that, Jiang Yun directly grabbed the other person and left the square grandly.

Most of the disciples within the sect are gathered in the square to watch the re-examination, so finding a deserted place isn't difficult.

At Ginger Cloud's speed, just a few moments later, he had already brought the short and stout man to a deserted place. He made him stand on his feet, but instead of loosening his grip, he tightened it even more. "Speak!"

At this moment, the short and stout man had been frightened by Ginger Cloud's power. He knew his own weight very well. To be able to lift him up with one hand and bring him so far away, it would be an easy thing for him to snap his neck.

But his mouth wouldn't yield, stubbornly calling out, "You, you dare not kill me!"

"I dare not kill you!" Jiang Yun placed his other palm on the man's dantian and said faintly, "But if I strike with one palm, then you will be completely crippled."

The dantian is where spiritual energy gathers, and it's the foundation of human cultivation. Once injured, it can result in a drop in one's cultivation level at best, or a complete loss of spiritual energy, turning one into a useless shell, even inferior to ordinary people.

Looking at the fierce light in Ginger Cloud's eyes, and feeling that scorching palm-like sensation in his dantian, the short and stout man was immediately terrified and cried out, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

The short and stout man wasn't a courageous person to begin with, and now he was completely terrified. He practically didn't need Jiang Yun to ask before spilling everything about Lu Xiaoyu willingly.

As the stout man spoke, Ginger Cloud's face grew increasingly somber. By the time the other finished speaking, Ginger Cloud's heart had sunk to the bottom, and his eyes were filled with a thick anger.

Actually, the whole thing is quite simple.

For some unknown reason, although Lu Xiaoyu had only passed one level at the beginning and became a menial disciple, he was noticed by an elder on Baishou Peak. As long as Lu Xiaoyu could pass the re-examination successfully, the elder planned to take him as his disciple, directly elevating him from a menial disciple to an inner disciple.

While such things weren't common within the Wen Dao Sect, they had happened before. It wasn't a big deal, just something that made people envious of Lu Xiao Yu's luck. However, this matter was overheard by an elder sister from Bai Shou Peak.

And it is said that the elder's original choice for her disciple was her. Now that she has been replaced by Lu Xiaoyu, naturally, she will no longer be wanted. Therefore, when she learned this news, one can only imagine her anger and resentment.

Thus, the incident of a twenty-year-old green wolf infiltrating a pack happened not long ago.

That senior sister wanted to use this opportunity to drive Lu Xiaoyu out of the sect. Fortunately, Jiang Yun's appearance helped Lu Xiaoyu solve the trouble.

This naturally made the senior sister even more furious, and she even came to hate Jiang Yun as well. This led Xu Chongshen, who was also an outer sect disciple, to give Jiang Yun a lesson.

He didn't expect that the lesson wouldn't be taught, and Xu Chongshen's pet beast was injured by Jiang Yun instead!

Of course, the two of them would never let go of Jiang Yun and Lu Xiaoyu. Just three months ago, the annual Wuyifeng Challenge opened, and as outer sect disciples, they naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to become inner sect disciples.

Thus, the two joined forces to attempt the Wufeng challenge. Unfortunately, they both failed and sustained some injuries, which is why they haven't bothered Jiang Yun and Lu Xiaoyu for the past six months.

Seeing today was the day for the second examination, as long as Lu Xiaoyu passed smoothly, he would become the disciple of that elder. This naturally made the senior sister uncomfortable, so she falsely spread a task and tricked Lu Xiaoyu out of the sect.

After understanding the ins and outs of the situation, Jiang Yun continued to ask, "What kind of mission did that senior sister give to Lu Xiaoyu"

The short and stout man shook his head repeatedly and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, senior sister's purpose is to prevent Lu Xiaoyu from participating in the second round of testing so that she can be expelled from the sect."

After a moment's pause, Jiang Yun once again fixed his cold gaze on the short, stout man and said, "Are you hiding something"

"No, no!" The short, stout man hurriedly forced a smile. "Senior Brother, as you can see, my cultivation is low and I'm just a handyman. I only received a little favor from that senior sister to keep an eye on Lu Xiaoyu. I haven't done anything else, and I've already said everything I know."

Ginger Cloud's face turned even colder as he said, "None Hmph, Xiao Yu might be young, but she isn't stupid. There's no reason for her to so easily trust an outer sect senior sister, or even accept the task she issued!"

The short, stout man blinked and said, "This, this brother, you're not unaware of it. Within our sect, the difference in status between the three types of disciples is vast. As attendants like us, even if we don't believe it, we dare not disobey the orders of the Outer Sect disciples!"

That is indeed the reality. Ginger Cloud naturally knows that if an outer sect disciple finds her and forces her to do something, even if she doesn't want to, wanting to directly refuse would inevitably offend them. Not to mention Lu Xiao's courage was always small.

Jiang Yun still had some doubts in her heart, because Liu Xin said very clearly that when Lu Xiaoyu bid him farewell, she specifically asked him to keep it a secret, so that after becoming an outer disciple, she would give herself a surprise. From this point of view, she didn't seem to be forced, but willingly went to carry out the mission.

But now thinking about those things is useless. The most urgent thing is to quickly find Lu Xiaoyu and bring her back to the sect. And if you want to know where Lu Xiaoyu was deceived, you can only ask that outer sect senior sister or Xu Chongshen.

Looking at Jiang Yun lost in thought, the short and fat man's face was still smiling, but his heart was filled with cold laughter.

After a moment, Ginger Cloud looked at the short and stout man again and said, "What is the name of that Outer Sect Senior Sister Is she currently with Xu Chongshen on Beast Mountain"

Because Ginger Cloud hadn't seen Xu Chengshan in the crowd at the square just now, that senior sister should also not be there.

The short, stout man frowned and said, "I wouldn't dare ask their names. They should be at Mount Hundred Beasts!"

Tell me what she looks like!

"What's he like" The short and stout man rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, you wouldn't want to go to Beast Peak to find them, would you They are Outer Sect disciples. With your status, it's impossible for you to enter Beast Peak at all, and you don't even need to look for them. You should see them soon!"

Jiang Yun frowned and asked, "What do you mean"

After the retest, Wufeng will send several outer disciples to participate. If my guess is correct, among the outer disciples sent by Baishou Peak, there should be Xu Chingshan and that senior sister. Their purpose seems to be to deal with you!

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!bout a different question.The leader of the Hidden Clan had originally asked him to deal with Jiang Yun, but he refused. Based on his own deductions, the Hidden Clan would definitely not let Jiang Yu...
