Chapter 136
Chapter 136 – Task? Punishment!
The whole pill concoction process went smooth as sailing. Jiang Chen had a relaxed smile on his face the entire time, and no one could even find the slightest hint of nervousness on his face. He had found the balance point of these five elemental herbs in an instant.
Guo Shan was shocked to the maximum. He had never seen such a skillful method of pill concoction. The question of the five elements restricting and engendering one another that had troubled countless alchemists had been solved by Jiang Chen in such an easy and relaxed way. He had completely ignored the restriction problem, and had only used the engendering characteristic to merge all five ingredients together. By doing this, not only would the effectiveness of these ingredients be fully utilized because of the engendering characteristics, the effectiveness of the finished pill would also experience a significant improvement.
Guo Shan was trembling. He kept staring at Jiang Chen without moving a bit. Compared to Jiang Chen, he had a feeling that he had been wasting all these years of his life. A pill could actually be concocted this easily.
If it wasn’t for him not wanting to disturb Jiang Chen, Guo Shan would have been cheering and clapping from what he was witnessing.
Pop!
A faded ‘pop’ sounded out from within the flame sea. Jiang Chen let out a deep shout; then a pill covered in five different colors jumped out from the flames. Jiang Chen retracted his soul energy and flames, then he extended his hand and grabbed the pill.
Five Elemental Pill, it had been successfully concocted.
“Is he going to assign a task for Jiang Chen?”
“Quiet! Let’s listen to what it’s about!”
Many disciple were surprised when they heard the voice. This was the first time something like this had happened within the Black Sect. Normally, assigning tasks to a disciple was done in secret, it would never be done openly like this.
“Listen to this, Jiang Chen. You caused a great disturbance in the outer circle yesterday, you offended your seniors, and you showed no respect to the Sect Elders. I, as the Sect Chief, will now announce your punishment. Recently, a Blood Devil has been seen around the Yellowstone area, and he has been massacring innocents. I command you to kill this Blood Devil alone. You shall leave at once and delay no more.”
Daoist Black’s voice was loud and clear. It sounded out within the skies of Black Mountain like roaring thunder. It displayed the mighty power of a peak Divine Core warrior, and it made everyone feel respect and admiration.
After saying that, the voice of Daoist Black disappeared, but the Black Sect started boiling.
“What? Kill the Blood Devil? Isn’t this a suicide mission for Jiang Chen? Didn’t Sect Chief yesterday say that the incident had come to an end? Why does he suddenly want to punish Jiang Chen?”
“Damn it, weren’t these Blood Devils wiped out a few decades ago? Remember the incident with Blood Moon Shaman? He killed countless of innocents and wreaked havoc within the Qi Province, and in the end, all Sect Chief’s of the Four Big Sects attacked together and finally killed him. I never expected there would be another Blood Devil after so many years.”
“It’s true that there is a Blood Devil in Yellowstone area. Someone told me today he called himself Lord Blood Moon, and he is a very strong man! Besides, these Blood Devils live their lives by drinking other people’s’ blood. They’re cruel and brutal, and asking Jiang Chen to kill these Blood Devils alone is no different from asking him to commit suicide. Is the Sect Chief going to push Jiang Chen into hell?”
“Perhaps because Fan Zhong Tang and his grandson Fan Kun doesn’t want to spare Jiang Chen’s life, they pressured the Sect Chief into assigning Jiang Chen to a suicide mission?”
…………
Everyone was shocked. The incident regarding the Blood Devils killing thousands of lives some decades ago had made everyone know just what kind of demon Jiang Chen was going to deal with. However, sending him alone to kill this demon was no different than a suicide mission.
