Chapter 760: Guarding Mission
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Ah? It’s a message from the Elder Hall.”
Jiang Chengxuan was slightly surprised.
“The Elder Hall has asked me to come over. They mentioned there’s something relatively important they want to discuss with me.”
Jiang Chengxuan pondered for a moment but didn’t hesitate for too long.
He decided to head to the Elder Hall immediately.
His two hundred years of peaceful cultivation had just ended, and his cultivation had also reached a new stage.
It was about time for him to undertake a mission.
Soon, Jiang Chengxuan left Cloud Mist Peak.
A short while later, he arrived at the Elders’ Hall.
Upon arriving, Jiang Chengxuan noticed that several people had already gathered there, including Hong Mei, whom he had met two hundred years ago.
Seeing Jiang Chengxuan, Hong Mei’s eyes lit up. She quickly approached him and greeted, “Junior Brother Jiang, long time no see. It seems your cultivation has progressed.”
“Ha, you flatter me, Senior Sister Hong Mei,” Jiang Chengxuan responded modestly with a smile.
“By the way, Senior Sister Hong Mei, do you know why the Elders’ Hall specifically asked us to come?”
Hong Mei shook her head uncertainly, “I’m not entirely sure about the details.
However, from what I’ve heard, it might be related to a frontier guarding mission.”
“A frontier guarding mission?” Jiang Chengxuan felt a slight jolt in his heart.
He knew that in the entire Celestial Floodgate Realm, the human was the dominant race.
However, it didn’t mean they were the sole rulers.
Many other races were in opposition to the humans, such as the demons, the deepsea nomads, and the protoss, among others.
Even though these races couldn’t match humanity’s strength in the Celestial Floodgate Realm, their unity made them a significant force that posed a certain threat to humanity.
If things were as Hong Mei mentioned, then the Elders’ Hall summoning them, the Void Returning Elders, might indeed be for this reason.
At this moment.
As more Void Returning Elders entered the hall, they greeted Jiang Chengxuan and Hongmei, who responded courteously in turn.
Despite Jiang Chengxuan not recognizing most of the attendees, his fame within the Haoran Sect from his feats in the Thousand River Secret Realm had made him widely recognized.
Therefore, when everyone saw him, they all recognized him.
Even if Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t completely recognize his fellow disciples, he still had to be at least polite.
Fortunately, Hong Mei was by his side.
Hong Mei secretly introduced some of the elders he did not know.
After a while, Jiang Chengxuan got to know many people.
At that instant, two extremely powerful auras suddenly appeared in the Elders’ Hall.
The voices of the elders who were originally discussing slowly quietened down.
Everyone turned to look.
In front of them, two figures were already standing quietly.
One of them was the white-haired old man, and the other was the red-haired man.
Many people present recognized the two of them and immediately cupped their fists politely.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Yuan Feng. Greetings, Senior Brother Chi Yan!”
Yuan Feng and Chi Yan nodded at the crowd.
Then, the white-haired elder, Elder Yuan Feng, said,
“Junior Brothers and Sisters, Junior Brother Chi Yan and I called you over this time because we have a relatively important mission to arrange for you.”
Hearing Elder Yuan Feng’s words, everyone present remained silent.
They knew that Elder Yuan Feng and Elder Chi Yan definitely had more to say.
Indeed.
Elder Yuan Feng continued, “Recently, some of the borders guarded by the Haoran Sect have been attacked one after another.
Especially Heavenly Edge Immortal City, Cloudy Sky Immortal City, Green Bamboo Immortal City and so on.
Almost all of these attacks came from the demons and the deepsea nomads.
In order to ensure that the human border guarded by the Haoran Sect would not be breached by those fellows,
So.
Junior Brother Chi Yan, I, and the other senior brothers and sisters have decided to mobilize the defenses of those immortal cities. At the same time, we will send more people.”
As he spoke, Elder Yuan Feng looked up at everyone present again.
“Here, I hope that all of you can bear this responsibility. I wonder if everyone has any objections?”
Hearing this, everyone present, including Jiang Chengxuan, shook their heads.
They knew very well that what Elder Yuan Feng said had already touched the fundamental principles of their Haoran Sect.
Under such circumstances, the only thing they needed to do was to listen to the arrangements.
Jiang Chengxuan was no exception.
That was because this was the decision of the entire Elders’ Hall.
Even his Shifu, Qin Shenwu, could not interfere easily without special reasons.
After all, a sect and a family had their own rules.
Since Qin Shenwu and the other Supreme Elders had entrusted the authority to deal with the sect’s matters to the Elders’ Hall,
Then, if there were no special circumstances, he naturally could not interfere casually.
At this moment.
Elder Chi Yan, who was beside Elder Yuan Feng, said,
“Since no one has any objections, Senior Brother Yuan Feng and I will start making arrangements.”
As he spoke, he began to mention names one by one.
“Junior Brother Chen Fan, as a Celestial Radiance stage cultivator, you will be in charge of guarding the Green Bamboo Immortal City. In addition, Zi Yun and Shan Xing will be in charge of cooperating with Junior Brother Chen Fan.”
A man with a resolute face immediately cupped his fists and accepted the order.
“Yes, Senior Brother Chi Yan.”
Then, Elder Chi Yan looked at the others and continued to make arrangements.
Finally, his gaze turned to a refined middle-aged man present.
“Junior Brother Wen Tao, as a Celestial Radiance cultivator, you’ll be in charge of guarding Heavenly Edge Immortal City.”
Also, Junior Brother Jiang and Junior Sister Hong Mei, you two will be responsible for cooperating with Junior Brother Wen Tao. How about that?”
Towards the end, Senior Brother Chi Yan’s gaze turned to Jiang Chengxuan and Hong Mei.
Jiang Chengxuan, Hong Mei, and Elder Wen Tao all nodded solemnly.
“We have no objections.”
“Alright, so let’s settle on this decision for now.”
Elder Yuan Feng spoke slowly.
“Everyone, the time limit for guarding is 300 years.
Three hundred years later, there will be other junior brothers and sisters who will come to assist you in defense.”
Some time later.
Jiang Chengxuan, Hong Mei, and Elder Wen Tao all walked out of the Elders’ Hall.
When they arrived outside, Elder Wen Tao immediately turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan and Hong Mei with a smile.
“Junior Brother Jiang and Junior Sister Hong Mei.
In the next 300 years, we will have to take care of each other.”
