The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 68 Purge the Sects

Main Quest: Purge the Sects!

【Task Requirements: Clear all demonic beasts from within the sect, including the Spirit Beast Garden, the Library, the Talisman Platform, and other areas where demonic beasts roam.】

Note: Excluding the back mountain of the sect.

[Number of players: All players]

[Mission Reward: During the mission, you will receive additional sect contribution points for each monster you hunt. The exact number of contribution points depends on the monster's level.]

[Friendly Reminder: When hunting monsters, ordinary players should pay attention to their own safety and it is best to target low-level monsters roaming around the sect.]

The main quest is finally making progress!

The members of Qianlong were shaken; they had long wanted to push forward with the main questline.

As the leading players across the server, they knew that if they wanted to maintain their lead, not only did their cultivation level need to increase, but they also needed to play a major role in understanding and advancing the storyline.

Unfortunately, their strength had always been insufficient, not reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, which left them with many constraints.

As for the other 10 combat players, they were all excited and hadn't thought that much about it.

It's rare to see someone get extra contribution points for defeating monsters!

Meanwhile, whether it was Li Fan, who was far away in Lianyungang City, or the new players who were diligently mining and cultivating the land in the spirit fields and mines.

At this moment, a notification that the main quest had been updated was also displayed on the panel.

"The main questline has been updated?"

Li Fan was slightly taken aback, and his heart tightened.

He planned to finish this matter quickly, then leave and go back to leveling up.

Although after the mission was completed, Li Fan estimated that his strength would reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

But he felt that this level of strength was far from enough.

Back at Qingxuan Sect, Zhou Yi didn't interfere much with the players' ideas, such as assigning specific groups to do certain things.

After all, the players' unique advantage lies in their autonomy, and Zhou Yi believes that excessive intervention may backfire and negate this advantage.

So they simply reminded ordinary players not to kill monsters above their level and didn't interfere further.

On the other side, the 14 players walked out of Zhouyi Courtyard and, under the leadership of Wohu, quickly began to discuss their strategy.

Crouching Tiger looked at everyone and spoke first:

"Hello everyone, I am Wohu. You may have heard of me on the forum before, so I won't go into details here."

"To make a long story short, the three main places where the sect's demonic beasts are currently entrenched are near the Scripture Pavilion, inside the Talisman Platform, and in the Spirit Beast Garden."

"Based on observations from the main quest, the sect leader seems to prefer that we specifically deal with these three locations where monsters are entrenched, while the other players deal with the wandering monsters."

"Therefore, my next strategy will also target these three areas."

Crouching Tiger astutely guessed what Zhou Yi was thinking, which resonated with the players.

Flying Dragon in the Sky immediately responded:

"No problem, Brother Crouching Tiger. So, what do you think our three teams should do next?"

Crouching Tiger thought for a moment, but did not rush to speak.

of course.

It wasn't that his mind was blank, but rather that there were too many strategies to choose from, making it impossible for Wohu to immediately select the most feasible option.

A moment later,

A clear, cool female voice broke the silence.

"I think we can deal with the Spirit Beast Garden first."

"What's the reason?"

Crouching Tiger glanced at Liu Yue, awaiting what would happen next.

"Because, as of now, we have the most detailed understanding of the situation at the Spirit Beast Garden."

"Although the monsters in the Spirit Beast Garden are the most numerous and dangerous, I would rather face known challenges than deal with unknown risks."

Crouching Tiger nodded slightly in agreement.

Suddenly, a group of stars chimed in:

"But here's the problem: even if we choose to clean up the Spirit Beast Garden at the beginning, it's inevitable that we'll have to clean up the other two places later."

"After all, the sect leader assigned us the task of eliminating all the demonic beasts in three places."

When Crouching Tiger heard what the stars said, he was somewhat inspired.

He's right.

If everyone manages to eliminate all the monsters in the Spirit Beast Garden at the beginning, even if they succeed in the end, it may take a lot more time to deal with the monsters in the other two places later.

and so……

Crouching Tiger's thoughts stirred slightly, and he said:

"Let's split into two groups. Feilong Zaitian's team and we will clear out the spirit beast garden first."

"As for Liu Yueqingcheng's side, they will take this time to investigate the monster information in the other two places."

"This way, we don't waste time, and we can maximize efficiency."

Liu Yue nodded; in her opinion, this was the best method at present.

However, the person next to her who loved cilantro asked curiously:

"Boss Crouching Tiger, I think it's fine for the four of you to enter the Spirit Beast Garden to hunt monsters, since you four are the strongest."

"But why was the other group's selection 'Flying Dragon in the Sky'?"

A casual question about cilantro consumption left Wohu speechless.

He glanced at Liu Yueqingcheng furtively, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

The preceding dialogue had almost completely exhausted the old father, Wohu.

If he has to team up with his daughter to fight monsters later, he's really afraid that he'll be too burdened and might accidentally die.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Liu Yueqing reacted quickly and eloquently defused the situation with a smile:

"Cilantro, Wohu has taken Feilong Zaitian and the others into the Spirit Beast Garden twice before, so their group is quite familiar with some of the routes and the specific distribution of the monsters."

"Therefore, it is definitely more appropriate for them to go to the Spirit Beast Garden than for us."

"That's definitely what Boss Crouching Tiger is thinking."

After saying that, Liu Yue blinked her big, watery eyes at Wo Hu.

Crouching Tiger took a deep breath, trying to keep his facial expression calm, before speaking:

"Yes, that's right."

"That's settled then. Let's get in as quickly as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wohu left without looking back, leaving the few people who hadn't reacted yet standing alone in the wind, bewildered.

"What's wrong with Crouching Tiger today? Something seems off about him."

Qianlong murmured softly.

Having played games with his older brother for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen Wohu act so strangely.

……

"Phew... We've finally arrived."

The sword immortal looked at the ruins of the sect before him and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

This task is really too difficult. Not only do you have to pretend to be stupid and get taken advantage of, but you also have to be careful at all times to prevent your disguise from being exposed.

After the trip, the sword immortal felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and his whole being was in bad shape.

The big sword next to him was in no better condition. After seeing the stone tablet of Qingxuan Sect, he collapsed to the ground, looking dazed.

The pain of learning a shocking secret but having no one to confide in is truly unbearable.

By the way, speaking of secrets...

The sword immortal suddenly grabbed the large sword beside him and strode towards Zhou Yi's courtyard.

The news of the spring beast tide riots was of great importance, and he dared not delay for a moment.

Before long, two disheveled little players appeared in Zhou Yi's courtyard.

Zhou Yi looked at the two travel-worn individuals and felt a sense of curiosity.

These two came back way too fast, several days earlier than he expected.

"Why... you're in such a hurry to return? Have you already uncovered information about the Black Tiger Gang?"

Zhou Yi asked.

The swordsman immediately nodded and handed over the roster he treasured:

"Reporting to the Sect Master, we have indeed acquired the Black Tiger Gang."

Zhou Yi took the roster, looked at the detailed cultivation information recorded for each member, and nodded slightly.

These two players may seem a bit silly, but you have to admit, they're really capable of handling things when things get tough.

The tasks assigned to them by the I Ching were completed very well.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi was in a great mood.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately rewarded the two with 30 points of sect contribution each.

The sword immortal was naturally delighted to accept the contribution points, but he did not forget that he had more important news to report to Zhou Yi.

"Sect Master, the Sword Immortal also learned some news during his trip and has something to report to you."

"Hmm? Tell me about it."

I became interested in the I Ching.

It seems these two little players have prepared quite a few surprises for him.

The sword immortal took a deep breath and solemnly replied:

"When we infiltrated the Black Tiger Gang, we also learned something from their second-in-command."

"Every spring, when monsters rampage and all the beasts in the mountains and forests howl, it is a time of great suffering and destruction."
