Chapter 117

Facing the disciples' inquiries, the deacon only looked grim.

"Still none."

"Still none? Why?"

"The Profound Jianfeng people were just here."

Hearing this, the disciples were stunned, and then their faces darkened. Just then, a disciple noticed the few hundred demon horses remaining in the ranch and said with dissatisfaction,

"Aren't there still some here?"

"These horses can't be ridden; they need to rest for a few days."

Then, led by the deacon, the disciples stepped forward and finally discovered that the hundreds of horses were all listless and weak.

"How could this happen?"

One had to know that the Dao One Sect took very meticulous care of its demon horses; such a situation had never occurred before.

Under the disciples' questioning, the deacon had no choice but to truthfully recount the whole story. Upon learning it was the Profound Jianfeng disciples again,

someone couldn't help but curse angrily,

"A bunch of animals!"

"They won't even spare the horses."

There was no other way. With no low-grade demon horses left in the ranch, they could only choose high-grade ones. But most disciples either didn't have enough sect points or lacked the cultivation base to control high-grade demon horses.

Finally, someone suggested just going to Sanyuan City to rent horses.

As soon as this was said, it immediately gained the approval of many disciples.

But when they went to Sanyuan City to ask, damn it, there were no horses there either.

"Where are the horses? You're such a large firm, you don't even have a few low-grade demon horses?"

Completely exasperated, they asked in a fit of pique.

Facing the Dao One Sect disciples, the shopkeeper didn't dare to offend them and could only smile bitterly.

"Didn't a large group of your Dao One Sect disciples come to rent horses yesterday? All the low-grade demon horses in our firm were rented out. And it's not just us; the low-grade demon horses at other firms in Sanyuan City have all been rented out as well."

"Do you know which peak those disciples were from?"

"Profound Jianfeng."

"It's them again..."

Upon learning it was the Profound Jianfeng disciples again, everyone gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and their bodies trembled slightly with anger.

The horses at the sect ranch were gone, and the horses in the three surrounding major cities were gone too, and without exception, this was all the work of Profound Jianfeng disciples.

What were they trying to do? Was the entire Profound Jianfeng going out at the same time?

Ever since they inexplicably wiped out Black Tiger Abyss, Profound Jianfeng had become less and less human.

First, they cleared out the missions in the Mission Hall, row by row, and now they had rented out all the low-grade horses around the sect.

A disciple couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar,

"This is too much! I, Li Qiang, swear to be irreconcilable with Profound Jianfeng!"

Listening to the disciple's roar, the shopkeeper on the side was completely confused. Why were these fellow sect brothers acting like they were irreconcilable enemies?

Unaware of the plight of the disciples from other peaks, after breakfast and an hour of rest, Ye Ye Changqing got up and walked toward the Mission Hall on the main peak.

He hadn't done his mandatory mission for the month yet, so Ye Ye Changqing planned to go to the Mission Hall to take a look.

Arriving at the Mission Hall, he browsed through the one-star missions.

"I'll pick one that's close and simple."

Calculating silently in his heart, he quickly selected a mission to slay an evil spirit.

It wasn't far from the Dao One Sect, and the evil spirit's strength wasn't high—it was just a Gray Heart Ghost, equivalent to a human cultivator at the Qi Sensing Realm.

"This is the one."

He accepted the mission and registered it with the deacon.

During the process, the deacon at the Mission Hall asked with a strange expression,

"Are you a Profound Jianfeng disciple?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No."

Then Ye Ye Changqing heard the deacon mutter softly,

"A Profound Jianfeng disciple who only takes one mission? That's truly rare."
