Chapter 299: Exemption From Mission

Tianyi Patriarch suddenly opened his eyes, and two cold lights flashed.

When Tianyi Patriarch looked at him, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shudder. At this moment, Xiao Lin felt that Tianyi Patriarch had seen through him.

In front of this Yuanying stage cultivator, he seemed to have no secrets.

The only thing that made Xiao Lin feel fortunate was that when Tianyi Patriarch looked at him, the spiritual wood space deep in his brows disappeared strangely.

"Are you Xiao Lin?" After just a slight glance, Tianyi Patriarch retracted his gaze and said lightly.

"Disciple Xiao Lin, I greet Tianyi Patriarch and all the elders." In front of Tianyi Patriarch and several Jindan cultivators, Xiao Lin did not dare to overstep his authority and bowed to them.

"Haven't I seen you before?" Xiao Lin had a respectful look on his face, but he was complaining in his heart. He didn't believe that Tianyi Patriarch would forget him with the memory of a cultivator.

"In twenty years, he has advanced from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage. It is indeed precious. It seems that Miss Lin has made the right choice by appointing you as the representative of our Dancao Mountain to complete this mission with her." Tianyi Patriarch suddenly said something that made Xiao Lin a little confused.

But after Tianyi Patriarch finished speaking, he stopped talking, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked drowsy.

"Xiao Lin, this time the sect will give you an important task." At this time, Xiao Lin's master Su Qingyun suddenly stepped forward, looked at him, and said softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin had some doubts in his heart. He was inexplicably summoned here, and his master Su Qingyun said that the sect wanted to give him an important task.

No matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing.

Xiao Lin did not doubt Su Qingyun, but in Dancao Mountain, once Tianyi Patriarch spoke, even Su Qingyun had to obey his orders.

Needless to say, the mission assigned by Tianyi Patriarch must be extremely dangerous. Although he did not intend to abandon the sect, he was extremely unwilling if the sect used him as cannon fodder.

So he did not directly agree to it, but showed a hesitant expression.

"Su Qingyun, your disciple is not loyal enough to our Dancao Mountain." A white-faced old man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s looked at Xiao Lin, smiled disdainfully, and said to Su Qingyun beside him.

"Yes, even the mission assigned by the ancestor dared to hesitate and shirk. Do you want to betray Dancao Mountain?" A 40-year-old black-faced man also echoed from the side.

"Lan Hong, isn't it normal for everyone to hesitate when facing life and death? Moreover, as far as Su knows, most of your Lan family's direct disciples have already run away to the secular world half a month ago. If it comes to being unfaithful to Dancao Mountain, I think your Lan family will bear the brunt." Su Qingyun said lightly.

"Su Qingyun, please don't spit blood on me. The family disciples that Lan dismissed were all low-level disciples with weaker cultivation. They are useless for the crisis in Dancao Mountain. Humph, if your beloved disciple doesn't want to take this mission, my Lan family members are willing to take it."

"You Lan family? It seems that except for Lan Xin who has perfected the foundation building, the rest of the people? There is not even a late foundation building. You don't want Lan Xin to go, do you? Su is afraid that he will die of old age before reaching the mission point."

"You? Don't worry about it, Elder Su , Lan Xin, as a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, has at least 30 to 40 years of life left, which is enough to complete this mission. "

"Report to the ancestor, Wang Daoxin also thinks that it is a bit arrogant to send a disciple in the late stage of Foundation Building for such an important mission. At least a disciple with Great Perfection of Foundation Building should be sent to go, which is safer. Wang Daoxin's great-great-grandson Wang Ping has entered the Great Perfection of Foundation Building several years ago and can fully take on this task." The forty-year-old black-faced man next to him turned around and bowed to the ancestor Tianyi, and then spoke.

Hearing this, although Xiao Lin's expression did not change, his heart was full of surprise. It seems that the Lan Hong in front of him is the supreme elder of the Lan family, one of the ten great cultivation families in Dancao Mountain.

Xiao Lin has a deep memory of the elder Lan Xin who wanted to blacken his foundation-building pill. Originally, Xiao Lin believed that with the narrow-mindedness of the old man, he would definitely cause trouble for him in the future, but after becoming a disciple of Su Qingyun, this idea changed.

After all, in his opinion, no matter how vicious and cruel Lan Xin was, as long as he was not a fool, he should not have any plans against him. He had embraced the big tree of Su Qingyun.

Later facts also proved that his guess was correct. Lan Xin did not bother him again. The only thing that made him suspicious was that when he was counter-killed by Qi Chang, after he issued the task of finding Qi Chang's whereabouts in the sect, the news was leaked out, and Qi Chang took the opportunity to set a trap.

If he hadn't had a few trump cards, he would have died for many days. Xiao Lin always suspected that the reason why the news was leaked was probably related to Lan Xin.

This Lan Hong treated him so weirdly, probably because of Lan Xin's incident. What Xiao Lin was puzzled about was that when faced with such a dangerous task, most people would not have time to avoid it, but Lan Xin and Wang Daoxin, who stood with him, actually rushed to take on this task at the same time.

"Is it possible that this mission has great benefits?" Xiao Lin thought in his mind, but he did not agree. Even if there were great benefits, he did not want it. Risks are directly proportional to rewards. This principle He still understands.

Before learning the details of this mission, he had no intention of expressing his opinion on this matter.

"How many of you are going out first?" Ancestor Tianyi who had been closing his eyes suddenly said.

Hearing this, except for Su Qingyun, the other seven people saluted the ancestor Tianyi, then turned and left. Before leaving, Lan Hong did not forget to give Xiao Lin a cold look.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a little wary of this person.

After everyone left, Ancestor Tianyi glanced at Su Qingyun and nodded slightly.

"Disciple, do you know Lin Xueying?" Su Qingyun looked at Xiao Lin and her tone became much softer.

Xiao Lin was slightly startled when he heard the words Lin Xueying. He didn't understand why Su Qingyun suddenly mentioned this woman, and how did he know that he knew Lin Xueying?

After he separated from Lin Xueying and returned to Dancao Mountain, Xiao Lin never told his master Su Qingyun that he had rescued Lin Xueying halfway.

Seeing the cautious expression on his apprentice's face, which seemed like he would never express his attitude until he explained the matter clearly, Su Qingyun couldn't help but shook his head.

"This mission was mainly initiated by Tianyun Pavilion. Each of the other four major sects sent one person to form a five-person team. The person leading the team was none other than Lin Xueying, and I can tell you that the reason why we chose you as our The reason for being the representative of Dancao Mountain is actually because Lin Xueying asked you to participate. "

After hearing this, Xiao Lin finally understood that it was because of this woman that he was assigned a task by the sect, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"It seems that I should show less kindness in the future." Xiao Lin warned himself in his heart, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"You don't have to worry. This mission may not be a disaster." Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Su Qingyun, who had lived for hundreds of years, didn't know what he was thinking. However, Su Qingyun did not blame Xiao Lin for this. Instead, he praised his apprentice even more.

The purpose of cultivators practicing Taoism is to gain immortality, and rashly putting themselves into danger is not a sign of a mature cultivator. On the contrary, for cultivators, the higher the realm, the more they cherish their lives.

After all, only if you have your life, can you continue to practice and gain the chance of immortality. If your life is gone, there is no talk of immortality.

Hearing Su Qingyun say the words "it may not be a disaster", Xiao Lin couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Su Qingyun with a look of confusion on his face.

"As long as you complete this mission, Dancao Mountain will not only let you go free, but the five major sects will also reward each of the five of you with a Tianlu Token. Those who hold the Tianlu Token can request the five major sects to If the sect does something for him, as long as the five sects can do it without harming the five sects themselves, they cannot refuse."

"Of course, the freedom here does not mean that you will leave Dancao Mountain, but that from now on, you will not be required to take responsibility for the sect. Even if our Dancao Mountain finally fights Gu Xuanzong to the last person, you will be completely You can stand aside or just fly away." Looking at Xiao Lin, Su Qingyun had a solemn look on his face.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was really moved. If he could complete this mission, he could avoid falling into the war between the five major sects and the Ancient Xuan Sect. For him, it was indeed a very good condition.

And you can also get a Tianlu Token that allows any of the five major sects to do something for you. This is a great honor. This Tianlu Token alone can definitely be described as a priceless treasure.

It's just that such generous conditions may correspond to the extreme danger of the mission. If things go wrong, the reward will not be obtained, and his life will be canceled in the process of executing the mission.

However, even if he refused, his master and Tianyi Ancestor did not force him. However, in the subsequent war with Gu Xuanzong, it was difficult for him to stay out and face the overwhelming fighting among the monks.

Xiao Lin was really not sure that he could survive.

There are risks on both sides, and Xiao Lin knows that he cannot escape this disaster.

"Master, does this disciple know what the content of this mission is?" Xiao Lin finally spoke after being silent for a long time.

Shaking his head, Su Qingyun smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult for you to be a teacher. Apart from the five ancestors, only Lin Xueying of Tianyun Pavilion knows the content of this mission."

"This mission is top secret. No one can know the content of the mission in advance before completing it. However, I can guarantee that compared to the upcoming war with Gu Xuanzong, taking on this mission is definitely a smart one. Choose." Ancestor Tianyi opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Lin, and said in a deep voice.
