Chapter 136: Eradicating the Mad Dragon Fortress, Chen Changsheng Wields a Large Axe
Not only did Chen Changsheng’s words shock the many disciples, but even Ziling and the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder were greatly surprised.
Facing Chen Changsheng’s assigned mission, the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder found it difficult to say, “Holy Son, according to the rules, you indeed can issue this mission.”
“But eradicating a force is not a small matter. Perhaps we should wait a bit longer.”
Upon hearing the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder’s advice, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said,
“If the Mad Dragon Fortress slanders the Purple House Sacred Ground’s Holy Son, it is equivalent to slandering our Purple House Sacred Ground.”
“For such matters, our Purple House Sacred Ground absolutely cannot let it go easily.”
“Even if I, Chen Changsheng, can endure, I believe that the other members of the Purple House Sacred Ground also cannot endure.”
“A tiny fortress like the Mad Dragon, eliminating it is nothing significant.”
Seeing that Chen Changsheng’s words had already stirred up everyone’s emotions, the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder quickly pulled Chen Changsheng aside and whispered,
“Holy Son, eradicating a Mad Dragon Fortress is certainly not a problem.”
“But the Purple House Sacred Ground cannot spare too much strength.”
“The top combat power of the Sacred Ground has been taken by the Sacred Master to eliminate the Unchanging Bones, leaving the remaining forces to defend the Sacred Ground.”
“If we continue to draw resources, the defense of the Sacred Ground might be compromised; this is no laughing matter.”
The Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder’s voice was not particularly loud, but it was also not soft.
Other disciples of the Purple House Sacred Ground could vaguely hear the conversation, and they felt that the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder’s concerns were reasonable.
However, after hearing these words, Chen Changsheng smiled and shook his head.
“Senior Elder misunderstands. For this mission to eradicate the Mad Dragon Fortress, there is no need for Senior Elders to accompany us.”
Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder: ?????
Hearing this, the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder was stunned because this was the first time he had heard such a request.
For such a large-scale mission, how could it proceed without a high-level presence?
“Holy Son, this may not be possible. Without high-level presence, if something goes wrong…”
“There will be no ‘if’!”
Chen Changsheng promptly interrupted the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder and then turned to look at the many disciples of the Purple House Sacred Ground.
“Fellow disciples!”
“As the saying goes, wolves can travel thousands of miles to eat meat, while dogs can only travel thousands of miles to eat feces.”
“The Mad Dragon Fortress is just a second-rate force, neither strong nor weak.”
“If our Purple House Sacred Ground sends an Elder, it will instantly annihilate the Mad Dragon Fortress.”
“But if only we go to eliminate the Mad Dragon Fortress, it will become a slightly tough bone to chew.”
“I, Chen Changsheng, am new here, and my understanding of the Purple House Sacred Ground is limited to external rumors.”
“But I always believe that the Purple House Sacred Ground is a place that can fight hard battles.”
“It won’t shrink back into its shell just because the opponent is slightly stronger.”
“If it were so, you would forever be dogs eating feces, never becoming bloodthirsty wolves!”
“Now tell me, what is your choice!”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s impassioned speech, the emotions of many disciples also rose.
Although these people are not as outstanding as Ziling, it doesn’t mean they are weak.
Being able to become a recorded disciple is a one-in-a-hundred existence, and becoming an outer sect disciple is a one-in-a-thousand existence, with inner sect disciples being a one-in-ten-thousand existence.
Prodigies have their own pride, and elites and geniuses are no different.
“Eliminate the Mad Dragon Fortress!”
It was unclear who shouted in the crowd, but several thousand disciples followed suit, shouting loudly.
In an instant, the sound of eradicating the Mad Dragon Fortress echoed throughout the entire Purple House Sacred Ground.
Seeing that the emotions were high enough, Chen Changsheng pressed his hands down, and everyone immediately quieted down.
“According to the Purple House Sacred Ground’s rules, for such large-scale missions, seventy percent of the spoils go to the Sacred Ground.”
Warm reminder: If you can’t find the book by searching the title, try searching for the author’s name. Maybe the book has been renamed!
Setting
Traditional Simplified
“The disciples executing the mission can only get thirty percent of the external rewards for the mission.”
“But today is different. In the past, the Sacred Ground would send accompanying Elders to support us.”
“They contributed, and they contributed significantly, so they should receive seventy percent.”
“But this time, they didn’t contribute, so they can only get thirty percent.”
“Moreover, this thirty percent isn’t for the Elders, but as a reward for the Purple House Sacred Ground that nurtured us!”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes instantly turned red.
The Mad Dragon Fortress is just a second-rate force. To the Purple House Sacred Ground, the resources of the Mad Dragon Fortress aren’t significant.
But if these resources are distributed among a few people, it would be a very rich resource for anyone.
Furthermore, completing this mission comes with corresponding score rewards.
Seeing Chen Changsheng drastically changing the Purple House Sacred Ground’s rules, the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder was nearly frantic.
Because this matter was too big, and if any mistake occurred, it would not be something an outer sect Elder could handle alone.
Just as the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder was pondering strategies, a piece of paper with golden light flew into his hand.
After reading the content, the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion Elder couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because this order came from the rear mountain of the Purple House Sacred Ground.
“Fellow disciples, the Elders of the Purple House Sacred Ground have a command.”
“The rewards for this mission will be borne by the Sacred Ground. All matters will be under the full authority of the Holy Son. Those who do not comply will be dealt with first and reported later.”
“Any disciple participating in this mission will be considered to have passed the mission assessment, regardless of success or failure.”
Hearing the order from the Elder Council, everyone’s last bit of worry dissipated.
Although Chen Changsheng’s promise was tempting, he was ultimately just a Holy Son.
No matter how powerful a Holy Son is, the decision-making power of the Sacred Ground is not in his hands.
Now that the Sacred Ground has recognized Chen Changsheng’s proposal and given him more authority again, everyone no longer fears failing the mission and being held accountable later.
Seeing the decision of the Elder Council, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled upward, and he spoke.
“Fellow disciples, you’ve seen the situation. You decide whether to eat meat or drink soup.”
“Since it is a team mission, we need a few leaders.”
“After all, a snake without a head can’t move forward, a bird without wings can’t fly, and a scattered sand pile can never achieve anything.”
“They four are your team leaders for this mission, and you can choose your leader.”
“If you think they are not qualified, you can challenge them. Defeat them, and you become the leader.”
“All dissatisfaction and grievances can be settled at this moment.”
“But I, Chen Changsheng, have a word beforehand. If you don’t cherish this opportunity now, once we march on the Mad Dragon Fortress.”
“If someone disobeys orders along the way, don’t blame me for turning a blind eye.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng took out an hourglass and placed it on the ground, then walked straight towards a nearby pavilion.
Looking at the hourglass on the ground and then at the four people including Ziling, some disciples’ thoughts began to stir.
Inner sect disciples are called quasi-Holy Sons. Once they become quasi-Holy Sons, who doesn’t want to advance further?
Previously, the hierarchy was strict, and I didn’t have much confidence challenging Ziling. Now, the opportunity has come.
In addition, some disciples set their sights on Gongsun Huaiyu and others.
Ziling became the Holy Daughter by relying on her strength to subdue most people. If she doesn’t challenge Ziling, can she not challenge others?
Outer sect disciples want to climb to the position of inner sect disciples by stepping on Su Tian and others.
Similarly, many inner sect disciples also want to climb by stepping on Su Tian and others.
Only these inner sect disciples want to become leaders to secure more resources and status for themselves.
Driven by such feelings, challenges soon emerged.
Each person had corresponding challenge tokens. Ziling had the least, Gongsun Huaiyu had the next few, while Ye Hensheng and Su Tian had the most.
