Monarch of Time

After cupping his hands and thanking the young man in front of him, Shun Long walked away from the Mission counter while he waited for Liu Mei and the rest to register the missions that they wanted to take.

Although every disciple in the sect could choose any level of mission that they wanted to regardless of their status or cultivation level, even inner disciples couldn't avoid the process of registering which missions they wanted to accept.

Fortunately, his wait wasn't for too long as in just a couple of minutes, everyone else had also registered their missions as well before they turned their attention towards him.

At that moment, the look on Shun Long's face turned serious as he said in a solemn voice

''Remember, that no matter what happens, always place your safety above everything else while you are alone.''

Seeing Shun Long speaking solemnly for the first time in a while instead of having his usual non-caring, laidback attitude, made Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, Xie Xingyi and Bai Longtian all nod their heads at the same time.

They all understood what Shun Long meant.

Since this was their first time venturing out alone in the central region they all had to be careful.

Jiang Chen knew this as well, as his father had already told him to not underestimate anyone in the central region regardless of their strength.

Even though he was a genius with an immortal-grade bloodline, Jiang Chen knew that his bloodline had a 3-month cooldown from the day he used it until he could use it again, so that wasn't something that he could count on.

Hell, if it wasn't for the fact that he had to fight against a middle rank 5 Nascent Soul outer disciple while his cultivation was still at the early rank 4 of the Nascent Soul, he wouldn't have used his bloodline in the first place, and would have at most exposed only his Eternal Darkness physique instead.

Seeing that everyone had understood his words, Shun Long simply smiled and said

''Let's go then!''

Turning around, he then walked out of the Assignment Hall, as he led his group towards the entrance of the sect.

While they walked, Shun Long didn't ask any of them about the missions that they had chosen.

He had already seen that Liu Mei had picked 2 personal D-rank missions that required her to hunt down 2 criminals at the middle and the peak of rank 4 of the Nascent Soul respectively, while Xie Xingyi had chosen a mission to act as a bodyguard for a caravan, just like him, as well as an assassination mission to kill a bandit head whose cultivation had reached the early rank 5 of the Nascent Soul!

Missions that asked for protection were extremely popular, as the merchants wouldn't miss a chance to get the powerful disciples of the Holy sect to act as their bodyguards, while many disciples who didn't enjoy putting themselves into danger seemed to like them as well.

As for Xie Xingyi, the reason she chose this mission was the same as Shun Long.

Since the caravan was heading towards the city where the target of her main mission was located, she didn't mind completing this one as well.

As for Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian, their missions were completely different.

Jiang Chen had first chosen a mission that required him to fight against a middle rank 5 Nascent Soul stage evil cultivator, who kidnapped infants and used them to increase his own cultivation stage, while his second mission required him to take care of a small gang in a city, as the gang leader who was at the early rank 5 of the Nascent Soul had already destroyed a small village and r.a.p.ed every single woman while he personally beheaded everyone at the Spirit realm and above.

Of course, although Jiang Chen's first mission required him to fight against a middle rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the same as the young woman whom he had to face during the fourth test, Jiang Chen wasn't worried in the slightest even though he was unable to use his bloodline this time.

After all, how could normal cultivators who had to steal and kill to live be compared to the geniuses of the Holy sect who cultivated in Saint low-grade cultivation techniques?!

Even if the young woman he had to fight during the fourth test was one of the 1000 weakest disciples of the sect, she would still be considered a powerful genius in nearly every single city that she was placed within the Holy sect's territory. Otherwise, how could she pass the Holy sect's test in the first place?

As for Bai Longtian, he had simply chosen to join the squad of a group of adventurers and help them hunt a middle rank 5 magic beast, as well as help guard a small sect and protect them from any attacks, while the head of the school attempts her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Surprisingly, these 2 missions that he had chosen were ones that almost no other outer disciple wanted to pick.

Especially the last mission, since the location was more than 5 days away from the Holy sect even if Bai Longtian rushed there at full speed, and most outer disciples either didn't want to spend their time guarding a small peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator in her breakthrough, or they simply weren't interested in the measly 60 sect points that this mission offered since they would have to spend at least 10 days just to come and go from there.

However, Bai Longtian didn't seem to mind this as he accepted this mission with a face full of joy, making Jiang Chen shoot him a side glance in the process.

Of course, Shun Long had seen all of this but he wouldn't interfere with anyone's mission. Whether Bai Longtian wanted to hunt magic beasts or guard someone during her breakthrough, or even go and hunt down gang heads like Jiang Chen, that was completely up to him.

Although his personality seemed to be an amiable, easy-going one in the first place, Bai Longtian's choice of hunting a middle rank 5 magic beast showed that he still intended to train himself during these days that they were going to leave the sect.

The 5 of them kept walking, and 45 minutes later, they arrived in front of the familiar wooden gates that they had passed through the first time, when they entered the sect.
