Chapter Twenty-Four: 500 Contribution Points

  Collect! Kneel down and beg, everyone, please give me a reward, the new book list has been continuously bombed by someone! Eggs are scattered all over the floor, kneeling down to beg for my God's support.

  Chirp—chirp—

  At the moment when the thick smoke was about to engulf him, Xiao Chen's mouth suddenly emitted a strange sound. As soon as the sound came out, the terrifying smoke that harvested lives like cutting grass seemed to be blown away by a strong gust of wind and dispersed wildly!

  "Kill!"

  Xiao Chen suddenly let out a loud shout, his horse galloping forward, his treasured sword emitting a long whistle, as he burst forth with an eerie and unpredictable sword aura, the speed reaching its peak. The long sword stabbed out like it was piercing through flowing water, giving off an uncatchable flavor that made one unable to grasp the exact trajectory of the sword.

  Yue Ling and You Jian didn't care why the thick smoke retreated, they immediately went all out to cooperate with Xiao Chen. The two treasured swords let out a piercing hum, their true energy bursting forth like divine needles!

  "Flying Spirit Shoots the Peacock!"

  At this moment, Xiao Chen and the other two shouted in unison, striking out with the same sword move. The three treasured swords shot out, their cold light flashing towards the enemy, as if they were a single sword, attacking three vital points at once!

  The man in red changed his face, the blood knife waved continuously to resist, but where could he resist? The 'Flying Spirit Shooting Eagle' was extremely fast, as if it were a divine arrow of the shooting eagle, flashing and fleeting.

  Hū——

  Yue Ling's sword flashed out, like a cold star's residual light, and the red-clothed man's abdomen had an additional blood hole. Almost at the same time, You Jian's sword also drew out a white divine light, like a horse whip, and pierced a terrifying blood hole in the red-clothed man's chest, with fresh blood spraying out like a fountain!

  At the moment when the red-clothed man was kneeling on the ground in agony, suddenly, the sound of a sword whistling like thunder and lightning, it was unknown when Xiao Chen had arrived in mid-air, holding a treasured sword, with his head down and feet up, fiercely stabbing downwards, one sword deeply killing into the red-clothed man's skull, straight to the hilt, as if stringing up mutton.

  "Explode!"

  Xiao Chen let out a low, muffled shout, his true energy exploding forth as he stirred the treasured sword. The red-robed man didn't even have time to cry out before his body split into four or five pieces like a torn sack!

  Just as the red-clothed man's body split, Xiao Chen flashed out and grabbed a black object with his hand, which quietly slipped into his sleeve. Neither Yue Ling nor You Jian noticed it.

  On the other side of the battlefield, under the cover of the three yuan true fire of the twelve Ling Jue mirror inner door disciples, the disciples of the Yun Jian sect launched a major counterattack. The terrifying You Ming poison smoke was unable to cause harm, causing those black-clothed men to be slaughtered!

  "Huh? This red-clothed man's status isn't low, he actually got 500 contribution points!" Xiao Chen suddenly felt the number on his 'team emblem' chest increase sharply. Including the three black-clothed men he killed earlier, Xiao Chen now had a total of 800 contribution points.

  "Ah, I felt it too. Killing ordinary black-robed men only gives 100 contribution points, but this red-robed man gave 500. It seems that his status in the Demon Gate is not low." Yue Ling also said, he already had a total of 700 contribution points.

  When the team name is hung on the Izumo Sword Sect, the 'team emblem' issued by the sect is not only used to identify the battle team, but also a record-type spiritual instrument. When killing demons, this 'team emblem' spiritual instrument has no attack power and can automatically record the contribution points obtained. Finally, the top five disciples with the highest contribution points can obtain the quota for inner door disciples.

  The disciples of the Ichimonji school, after all, were numerous and had an effective defense in place with their inner door disciple organization, which greatly reduced the power of the Yinming poisonous smoke that the Taomen disciples took pride in. With the red-robed man being beheaded, the Taomen disciples were also slaughtered to the point of annihilation.

  "What? You actually killed him?"

  After clearing away the disciples of the Great Demon Gate, Zhao Wumian returned to the team and found that the red-clothed man who led the black-clothed army had already been beheaded by Xiao Chen and his three men.

  That red-clothed man is a cultivator of the Seventh Heaven of the Concentrated Spirit Mirror, and killing him will yield contribution points that absolutely exceed one thousand. It's worth noting that inner sect disciples are also participating in this mission release, and those who enter the top five will receive enormous rewards, even if they don't get to become elite disciples.

  Zhao Wumian's eyes were naturally red, he had been busy until now, but only earned 400 contribution points.

  "It was all thanks to Brother Zhao's proper defense that we had the chance to kill this bandit." You Jian said.

  "Hmm..." Zhao Wumian smiled faintly without saying a word, his gaze swept over the 'team emblem' on Xiao Chen and the other two's chest, nodding slightly to himself.

  "This guy is not good-hearted." Xiao Chen had seen all of this, from the moment he first saw Zhao Shixiong, Xiao Chen felt that this person was not on the same path as himself, and now he even sensed a killing intent emanating from him.

  Yue Ling and You Jian, however, did not think as much as Xiao Chen. After all, Zhao Wu Mian was an older brother from the inner sect, and he had been invited by Qing Ming Hua with 500 grains of Huang Xuan Dan. How could he possibly harm them?

  "The crisis has been averted, now go back and guard Yellowstone Town." Zhao Wumian said with a wave of his hand.

  This time in the battle, a member of the 'Dinosaur Team', Lian Shang died. The others are fine, but other teams have heavy casualties, and some have no casualties at all.

  Now that the crisis has been lifted, all the disciples also urged the Soul Devouring Beast to return to Huangshi Town along the original road.

  "According to the report from Huangshi Town, the disciples of Dà Mó Mén are not those so-called unknown creatures. Those unknown creatures have not appeared yet, but Dà Mó Mén has also been mixed up in this matter. Does that unknown creature really have a relationship with Dà Mó Mén?"

  On his way back, Xiao Chen thought to himself that he had also read 'Shen Mo Zhi' and had a photographic memory, so he understood some things about the Great Demon Gate.

  Dà mó mén is located on the south side of Nányún zhī sēn, and it is separated from the territory of Chūyún jiàn zōng by Nányún zhī sēn. As long as you cross Nányún zhī sēn, you can reach Huángshí zhèn.

  This matter is strange and yet not strange, Xiaochen remembers that when he first came, he clearly felt the terrifying aura bursting out of the Nan Yun forest, how could the disciples of the Demon Gate easily cross over? And why did the disciples of the Demon Gate attack the territory of the Yuncheng Sword Sect?

  The Demon Gate is the most heinous of the three major demon gates in Nan Zhan Bu Zhou, even more ruthless than the Absolute Killing Demon Sect. However, it wouldn't provoke Yun Jian Sect without reason. Xiao Chen felt that this task was a bit strange, as if there were some hidden secrets that others didn't know about.

  Xiao Chen couldn't figure out why, so he simply ignored him. The sect hadn't made this matter public, and as an outer disciple, Xiao Chen shouldn't have been involved in the first place.

  "There's also Zhao Wumian, who has a narrow mind. Just because I was late for a moment, he looked at me with disapproval. Earlier, he even had the intention to kill me. I need to be on guard against this person." Then, Xiao Chen thought again, "I absolutely cannot wait passively for death. If he dares to make a move on me, I won't mind killing him either. Executing the mission may result in casualties, which is normal."

  Xiao Chen's heart was filled with a fierce determination. Whoever threatened his life would be met with counterattack, and he would never wait to be killed. Xiao Chen believed that his trump card, when played unexpectedly, would surely kill Zhao Wumian.

  As the team returned to Yellowstone Town, the town mayor had already arranged for accommodations and food for the disciples of Yunwu Sword Sect.

  Moreover, another group of Izumo Sword Sect arrived in the city, making Huangshi Town's defense more sufficient.

  Each disciple was allocated a separate room. Xiao Chen arrived at his own, and after eating, he began to ponder the spoils of war obtained from that red-clothed man today.

  "This little bag must be the treasure that holds the poisonous smoke of the underworld." Xiao Chen touched his chest and took out a small pouch that looked like a brocade pouch, only much smaller.

  This bag is made of unknown material, feels like compressed leather, soft and strong, all black, with a black string tied at the top.

  "Let me use my spiritual sense to take a look first." Being cautious, Xiao Chen did not directly open it, but instead concentrated his spiritual sense and instantly entered the bag.

  As the spiritual thought entered the bag, immediately, in Xiao Chen's mind, the scene inside the bag appeared automatically, as if he had opened the bag and looked inside.

  "Is that the Netherworld Poisonous Smoke?!" Xiao Chen saw countless tiny worms in the bag, like dust particles, wriggling about. If one looked with the naked eye, it seemed like smoke.

  These smoky people, once inhaled into the body, will have their vital energy and blood rapidly consumed by the yin-yang poisonous insects, which will then grow wildly and burst out of the host's body.

  "Not bad, aren't you seeking rapid growth in your cultivation? This bag of Netherworld Poison Smoke is just what you need to enter the third level of Concentrated Spirit Heaven, and it's more than enough." Night Flowing Star's voice was full of temptation.

  "But if I use these to harm people in exchange for the growth and refinement of the Netherworld Poisonous Worms, isn't that no different from the demonic path?" Xiao Chen couldn't accept this cultivation method, after all, he had personally witnessed the terror of these poisonous worms, the cruelty of taking lives.

  "Being able to increase one's cultivation is a good method, who cares about the righteous or demonic path!" Ye Liu Xing sneered at Xiao Chen's thoughts.

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen fell silent for a moment before speaking up: "Alright, I've already chosen someone."

  Next, Ye Liu Xing would pass on the method of refining the You Ming poisonous insects into cultivation energy to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen also began to cultivate this method.

  This method is called "Moyin Jiusong" and is a secret of the Great Demon Gate, specifically used to control the Yin-Yang Poisonous Insects. When the Moyin is sung, the Yin-Yang Poisonous Insects will spit out the energy stored in their bodies from devouring others' essence blood, benefiting the controller of the Moyin. Afterwards, they will once again transform into tiny particles and store themselves within the fragrance pouch.

  Xiao Chen spent the whole day cultivating, and with his strong comprehension ability, it took him half a day to learn "Moyin Nine Songs". In short, this technique is actually a language that can communicate with the Netherworld Poisonous Insects and unconditionally control them.

  Bang! Bang!

  But at this moment, Xiao Chen had just finished his cultivation when he heard a knock on the door.

  "Xiao Chen, shidi, come out and have dinner quickly, tonight is our team's turn to patrol." Yue Ling's voice came from outside the door.

  "Here." Xiao Chen responded with a single word.

  "Hurry up, Brother Zhao is getting impatient." Yu Ling urged again and then left.
