558: Task

Everyone chimed in, and they quickly decided what mission to assign to Su Chen.

It was a True Immortal Rank mission!

Although Su Chen's strength would surely allow him to resolve it with ease, they chose the most difficult of the True Immortal Rank missions to give him a bit of a challenge.

It was a team mission, with a minimum requirement of True Immortal Late Stage, yet they only arranged for one person to assist him.

The mission involved the Demonic Path wreaking havoc in Luanshi City, slaughtering two major Families and causing thousands of deaths. The Nine-Star Dynasty had also sent people to investigate, but they had found nothing.

The requirement of the mission was to find and kill the Demonic Path followers.

The Demonic Path followers came and went without a trace, and since about a thousand people had died, the matter was eventually left unresolved. The Haoran Sect then recorded it as a test for its Disciples; this event had occurred just three days ago.

"Mission?"

Su Chen looked at the detailed introduction of the mission in his hand and raised an eyebrow slightly. Having stayed on Qiudao Peak for such a long time, it was time to go out for a walk.

He slowly stood up and walked toward the outside of Qiudao Peak.

Over the years, he had developed many Cultivation Techniques for keeping a low profile and hiding his aura, as well as some techniques to lower others' attention from the level of Karma. For Su Chen, these were all things he could handle with ease.

It could be said that he had pushed keeping a low profile to the extreme.

Entering the Haoran Sect this time, Su Chen had also learned a lot. He felt that he had previously been inclined toward being sneaky, rather than being truly low-profile.

Su Chen also intended to continue deepening these developed Cultivation Techniques until he could influence those truly powerful experts, such as those at the Dao Lord level.

He walked within the Haoran Sect, yet no one noticed him; everyone treated him as if he were air.

It was only after Su Chen had left Qiudao Peak for quite a while that the Grand Elder on the mountaintop suddenly snapped back to his senses. He looked toward where Su Chen had been with a solemn expression, but there was already no one there.

"Where did he go?"

The Grand Elder was somewhat shocked. When did he leave right under his nose?

"Wait, that's not right!"

The Grand Elder was jolted awake. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never observed Su Chen at all. He had initially glanced at Su Chen, but quickly shifted his attention to look at other Disciples, or at the flowers and plants around Su Chen.

What was going on?

The Grand Elder stood with his back to the direction where Su Chen was currently located. He probed with his Divine Sense; Su Chen was dressed plainly and was walking down the road in a swaggering manner, yet no one around him noticed him at all.

"Hmm, what should I eat tonight? Should I Cultivate for a while? ..."

Chaotic thoughts suddenly flooded his mind. When the Grand Elder reacted again, Su Chen had disappeared without a trace and had already arrived at Kaiyun Hall.

"What is going on!"

The Grand Elder was instantly stunned. He was at the Immortal King Realm, yet he was completely bewildered at this moment.

Although an Immortal King was powerful, he had not yet involved himself with the level of Karma, so he could not figure out what was going on with Su Chen, or why he could not focus his attention.

What on earth could allow a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivator to influence him, an Immortal King rank Cultivator?

"This kid... what exactly is going on!?"

The Grand Elder's heart was full of shock; he was clearly stunned by Su Chen.

Could it be some kind of 'Dao'?

It was rumored that some Prodigies had Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability and could comprehend the Great Dao while at a low Realm. If it were an ordinary Dao, it would not be enough to influence him; what could influence him must surely be some kind of Great Dao.

This possibility was very high; otherwise, the Grand Elder truly did not know how Su Chen could possibly influence him.

After the Three Sects Assembly ended, he found that he could not see through Su Chen, so he tried every method to observe him, but still could not make anything of it. Since three hundred years ago, he had discovered that he had somewhat forgotten about this Disciple, Su Chen.

He often ignored him directly.

"This kid is really not simple!"

It was the first time the Grand Elder had discovered someone in the Haoran Sect whom even he could not see through.

Shaking his head, the Grand Elder stopped paying attention. He truly could not see through Su Chen; no matter how he tried, the result was the same.

Everyone had their own secrets, and he couldn't be bothered to keep prying into others' secrets.

Moreover, following this line of thought, if Su Chen really possessed some mysterious Dao, did that mean his Realm was also hidden by this Dao?

Perhaps this kid's strength had long since far surpassed the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

After Su Chen arrived at Kaiyun Hall, he quickly coordinated the mission with the manager and then waited, because there was another Disciple accompanying him.

In fact, he was enough for this kind of mission alone; Su Chen did not understand why they had asked someone to follow him.

However, it was fine; having someone out in the open, while he remained in the shadows, was okay.

Not long after, a figure walked in, looking around.

"Where is the person?"

Su Chen raised his head and looked at him: "Qin Ran?"

The latter was stunned for a moment. He looked at Su Chen and immediately reacted: "Senior Brother Su, so you were here. I was truly blind; I didn't even see you right beside me."

Qin Ran's face was full of joy; this was his first time interacting with Su Chen.

Many Disciples in the Haoran Sect now worshipped Su Chen very much. Saving the Haoran Sect by his own strength, being the number one person of the younger generation, and other halos of glory made Su Chen have a very good reputation in the outside world.

He was a Disciple who had entered the Haoran Sect together with Su Chen back then.

Before coming, he had also learned about this mission. Under normal circumstances, he would certainly have found it extremely difficult, but if he was with Su Chen, he would not be nervous at all.

Although Su Chen's apparent Realm was only Heavenly Immortal Late Stage, his actual combat strength was certainly more than that.

Su Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go."

The two did not waste much breath and headed straight for Luanshi City. Having reached this Realm, traversing the Void Realm was a normal thing. However, because the map within the Myriad Worlds was very large, it took them nearly two hours to arrive at Luanshi City.

At this moment, Luanshi City was still as prosperous as ever; it seemed as if no Demonic Path followers had ever come here to slaughter anyone.

Perhaps it was because too many people had died; there were hundreds of millions of people in Luanshi City, so what did a thousand deaths matter?

Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion had also investigated before, and those Demonic Path followers seemed to have already left. Since they had already left, what was there to worry about?

Su Chen observed for a while and did not discover any aura of the Demonic Path.

"Let's go, let's go inside and inquire about the situation first."

He did not come up and directly crush them, but instead prepared to use his courage and wisdom to complete the mission.
