Chapter 70: Sending You Out

The news of the Task Hall closing soon caused a huge sensation in the Profound Heaven Sect.

After a brief shock, the first reaction of the disciples from other peaks was excitement and joy.

One reason was that they wouldn't have to work hard to do tasks in the future, and the other was that Sword Peak had no tasks to accept either.

"Good, closed well. Everyone don't accept them."

"I actually have a feeling of being proud and elated."

"Haha, Third Elder is mighty. Now the people from Sword Peak are dumb, right?"

The Sword Peak disciples were indeed dumb. Many people finished their tasks and returned, rushing to the Task Hall to turn them in, but when they got there, it was closed.

At dinner time, after the disciples finished eating, they gathered in the kitchen, and one by one couldn't help but complain.

"Is this Task Hall okay? Why did it close?"

"I have three tasks in my hand that I haven't turned in yet."

"Who doesn't have three tasks? The problem is what to do in the future? If this Task Hall doesn't open, how can we accept tasks?"

The Sword Peak disciples were extremely depressed. Ye Changqing, Hong Zun, and others on the side had their mouths twitching.

"It really closed. The Task Hall was closed by you guys. It's really an eye-opener."

Hong Zun curled his lips, feeling that someone was about to come to the door again. But on second thought, "None of my business. My Sword Peak disciples are orderly and never do anything out of line. Even if the Senior Brother comes, he can't say anything."

Hong Zun had already understood the whole story. "Isn't it just that my Sword Peak disciples are a bit diligent? What's wrong with that?"

Hong Zun was full of confidence. On the other side, on the main peak, in the cave of the Second Elder, Shi Song, the Third Elder and the two of them sat together with bitter faces.

"Second Senior Brother, what should I do? My Task Hall is closed now."

He asked Shi Song with a bitter face. Hearing this, Shi Song was also helpless. What could he do?

"Why don't you go to the Law Enforcement Hall and warn the Sword Peak disciples?"

"Are you crazy? What did Sword Peak do wrong? How can I say it? Is it wrong to be a little diligent?"

"Then what should we do?"

They were completely unreasonable, but that was the situation. What now?

The Third Elder had no doubt that even if the Task Hall opened in a few days, the result would still be the same.

It was really annoying, and you had no reason to go and tell people anything.

"I really admire this old drunkard Hong Zun."

Distracted, the Third Elder cursed with tears in his eyes. At this time, Shi Song’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he turned to the Third Elder excitedly.

"Junior Brother, I thought of it."

"Thought of what?"

"Isn't the Near-Sea Camp about to rotate? It just happens to be Sword Peak."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Third Elder was stunned, and then he became excited. "Yes, how could I forget this?"

Near-Sea Camp refers to the junction of the Eastern Continent and the East Sea.

Countless aquatic demon beasts live in the East Sea, and they have been harassing the coastal areas since ancient times.

For this reason, the Profound Heaven Sect and the East Sea aquatic tribes have had countless wars, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties.

Finally, the founder of the Profound Heaven Sect took action and set up a large array along the East Sea coast, which blocked the East Sea aquatic tribes outside.

It was just that there was a crack in the eye of this array.

Through this crack, cultivators and demon beasts with a bone age of no more than two hundred and a cultivation base of no more than the Dharma Image realm can pass.

Therefore, the Profound Heaven Sect built a city here, called Near-Sea Camp.

Except for special peaks like Shadow Peak and Hundred Herbs Peak, other peaks rotate to Near-Sea Camp every year to guard it, and all disciples must go.

The danger is not great, after all, the strong ones of the East Sea aquatic tribes cannot enter here. Although there are some struggles, they are not on a large scale.

Simply put, it's just to stay at Near-Sea Camp for a year.

And this was exactly what Shi Song and the other wanted. "Yes, since there is no way to solve the trouble, then solve the person who caused the trouble."

Sending all the Sword Peak disciples out directly—wasn't this solving the problem from the root?

"Second Senior Brother is talented."

"I also thought of it by accident. Perhaps this is what is called God's will."

"Then shall we go find the Senior Brother now?"

"That works. The rotation of Near-Sea Camp should also be on the agenda."

Excited, the two hurried to the cave of the Senior Brother, Qi Xiong.

Seeing Shi Song and the other coming, Qi Xiong was a little strange at first.

"What's wrong? You actually came to me together."

"Senior Brother, we are here to discuss the rotation of Near-Sea Camp. It's only half a month until the rotation, and the Jade Maiden Peak disciples have stayed for a full year. Next, it's Sword Peak’s turn."

Shi Song said, but hearing this, Qi Xiong asked suspiciously.

"That's true, but why are you suddenly worried about these things?"

The rotation of Near-Sea Camp was not supposed to be managed by Shi Song and the other. Before, the two had never asked about these things. Why did they take the initiative to come to the door this time?

Hearing Qi Xiong’s words, Shi Song and the other were silent for a moment, and then they poured out together.

"Senior Brother, you don't know how bitter I am. My Law Enforcement Hall has almost become a vegetable market recently. The disciples who come to complain every day are endless, all accusing Sword Peak..."

"And me, Senior Brother. My Task Hall is already closed now. All the low-star tasks in the sect have been accepted. If you don't send them away, I can't do my job as the Task Hall Master."

Qi Xiong was in seclusion some time ago and didn't know about these things. Hearing Shi Song and the other’s words, Qi Xiong’s expression gradually became strange.

As they spoke, perhaps recalling those unbearable past events, Shi Song and the other’s eyes were red.

Slightly overwhelmed, after speaking, the two stood up and requested at the same time.

"Senior Brother, pity the Junior Brothers, let Sword Peak go."

"Earnestly request Senior Brother to send Sword Peak to Near-Sea Camp."

The two were really scared. Seeing this, Qi Xiong opened his mouth and said.

"Sigh, the two Junior Brothers have worked hard."

"Senior Brother, this is not a question of hard work or not. Sword Peak disciples must go."

"Yes, the sooner the better."

The two were determined to send away the Sword Peak disciples. "You guys go to Near-Sea Camp and stay there. Although it's only for a year, it's enough."

Shi Song and the other didn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes. "Let me live this year peacefully first."

The two were determined. Seeing this, Qi Xiong thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will talk to Junior Brother Hong Zun personally tomorrow and let him arrange the rotation as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shi Song and the other finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been pardoned.

"Senior Brother is wise."

This was definitely Qi Xiong’s wisest decision.

Leaving Qi Xiong, looking at the starry sky, Shi Song and the other felt that the stars tonight were brighter. It was truly a happy event that made people feel refreshed.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother for the reopening of the Task Hall."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

An indescribable ease made the two sigh endlessly.
