Chapter 70: with translation of chapter title

The news that the Mission Hall was closed quickly caused a huge commotion within the Dao Yi Sect.

After a brief moment of surprise, the disciples of the other peaks' first reaction was excitement, they were happy.

First, because they would no longer have to toil endlessly on missions; second, because Divine Sword Peak also had no missions to take.

Good, it's closed well, everyone stop taking missions.

I actually feel a sense of pride and relief.

Haha, Third Elder is mighty, this time the Divine Sword Peak people are stunned, right?

The Divine Sword Peak disciples were indeed stunned; many completed their missions and returned, eagerly heading to the Mission Hall to hand them over, only to find the door closed.

At dinner time, after the disciples had eaten, they gathered in the dining hall, each unable to help complaining.

What's up with this Mission Hall, why is it still closed?

I still have three missions unfinished.

Who hasn't finished three missions? The problem is, what do we do from now on? If the Mission Hall doesn't open, how are we supposed to take missions?

All the Divine Sword Peak disciples were extremely depressed, while Ye Zhangqing, Hong Zun, and others beside them twitched at the corners of their mouths.

It's really closed, you've turned the Mission Hall into a game of closing doors, it's truly a petty trick, an eye-opener.

Hong Zun then pursed his lips, feeling as if someone might come knocking again, but after thinking, it's none of my business; my Divine Sword Peak disciples are upright, never do improper things, even if the Senior Brother came, he couldn't say anything.

Hong Zun had long understood the whole story; it's just that my Divine Sword Peak disciples were a bit diligent, what's wrong with that?

Hong Zun was full of confidence; meanwhile, on Place: Zhu Feng, inside the Dong Fu of Èr Zhǎnglǎo Shi Song, the Third Elder and he sat together with worried frowns.

Second Senior Brother, what should we do? Our Mission Hall is now closed.

With a bitter face, he asked Shi Song; hearing this, Shi Song was also helpless, what can be done.

How about you go to the Law Enforcement Hall to warn the Divine Sword Peak disciples?

Are you crazy? What's wrong with Divine Sword Peak? What am I supposed to say? Is being a bit diligent also wrong?

So what should we do then?

It's completely unreasonable, but things are like this now; what should we do?

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

This is really messed up; yet you have no reason to go and say something to them.

I really have to admire Hong Zun, this old drunkard.

In frustration, the Third Elder cursed, wanting to cry but having no tears; meanwhile, Shi Song's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he turned excitedly to the Third Elder and said.

Junior Brother, I've thought of it.

What did you think of?

Isn't the Jinhai Yingdi supposed to rotate? It just so happens to be Divine Sword Peak's turn.

As soon as he said that, the Third Elder was stunned, then also became excited; yeah, how did we forget this?

Jinhai Yingdi refers to the border between Dongzhou and the East Sea.

Within the East Sea live countless aquatic demon beasts; since ancient times they have continually harassed the coastal regions.

Therefore, the Dao Yi Sect and the East Sea aquatic clan have fought countless great battles, both sides suffering heavy casualties.

Finally, the Dao Yi Sect's patriarch took action, laying a great formation along the East Sea coast, thereby blocking the East Sea aquatic clan outside.

However, the formation's eye has a crack.

Through this crack, cultivators and demon beasts with a bone age not exceeding two hundred years and cultivation not exceeding the Dharma Appearance realm can pass.

Therefore, the Dao Yi Sect established a city here, named Jinhai Yingdi.

Except for special peaks like Ying Peak and Bai Cao Peak, all other peaks rotate to garrison Jinhai Yingdi each year, and all disciples must go.

The danger is not great, after all those strong ones of the East Sea aquatic clan cannot enter here; although there are some skirmishes, they never reach a large scale.

In short, it's just going to Jinhai Yingdi to stay for a year.

This exactly suits Shi Song and the other's wishes; yeah, since we can't solve the trouble, we'll solve the people causing the trouble.

Just send all the Divine Sword Peak disciples away; isn't that solving the problem at its root?

Second Senior Brother, you're talented.

I also happened to think of it; perhaps this is what they call heavenly will.

Then shall we go find the Senior Brother now?

That works; the matter of rotating garrison at Jinhai Yingdi should also be put on the agenda.

In their excitement, the two hurried to the Dong Fu of Senior Brother Qi Xiong.

Seeing Shi Song and the other two arrive, Qi Xiong initially felt a bit strange.

What's going on? You two actually came together to my place.

Senior Brother, we came to discuss the Jinhai Yingdi rotation with you; it's only half a month until the rotation time, the Yu Nu Peak disciples have already stayed a full year, and next it's Divine Sword Peak's turn.

Shi Song said, but upon hearing this, Qi Xiong doubted and said.

That's true, but why are you suddenly concerned about these matters?

The rotation of Jinhai Yingdi originally shouldn't be managed by Shi Song and the other; previously they never bothered with these matters, so why did they now take the initiative to come?

Hearing Qi Xiong's words, Shi Song and the other fell silent for a moment, then both began to pour out their grievances.

Senior Brother, you have no idea how miserable I am; my Law Enforcement Hall has practically become a market lately, with disciples coming to file complaints every day, an endless stream, all of them accusing Divine Sword Peak.........

And me, Senior Brother, my Mission Hall is now completely closed; all low-star missions in the sect have been taken, if we don't send them away, I as the Mission Hall chief can't carry on.

Earlier, Qi Xiong had been in closed-door cultivation and was unaware of these matters; now hearing Shi Song and the other's words, his expression gradually turned strange.

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

Getting a bit worked up, after speaking, the two stood up and simultaneously pleaded.

Senior Brother, have pity on us junior brothers, let Divine Sword Peak go.

"Please, Senior Brother, send Divine Sword Peak to Jinhai Yingdi."

The two were really scared; seeing this, Qi Xiong opened his mouth to speak.

"Ah, you two junior brothers have worked hard."

"Senior Brother, this isn't a matter of whether it's bitter or not; the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ must go."

"Yeah, the sooner the better."

The two are determined to send off all the Divine Sword Peak disciples; you guys, just go and stay at Jinhai Yingdi properly—although it's only a year, it's enough.

Shi Song and the two dare not ask for too much; first let me peacefully get through this year, then we'll talk.

The two were firm in their attitude; seeing this, Qi Xiong thought for a moment and also nodded in agreement.

"Alright, tomorrow I will personally tell Junior Brother Hong Zun to arrange the rotation as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shi Song and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if granted a great pardon.

"Senior Brother, you're so wise!"

This is definitely Qi Xiong's wisest decision.

Leaving Qi Xiong's place, looking at the full sky of stars, Shi Song and the two felt that tonight's stars shone a bit brighter; truly, when one encounters joyous events, the spirit feels refreshed.

"Congratulations, junior brother, the Faction: Mission Hall is about to reopen."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

An indescribable sense of ease left the two feeling utterly amazed.
