The moment Long Chen was a safe distance away from the Sky Realm cultivator, he did not waste a single moment and instantly used his Piercing Cloud Movement skill to run as fast as his legs could bring him.
His heart was still slightly pounding from the exhilaration of escaping right in front of the nose of his enemy.
Long Chen's lips curled up into a devilish smile as he thought, 'Wait till I break through into the Sky Realm, and I'll show you how I will play with you.'
He was confident that the 5 Elementary Realm assassins he had personally killed and dispose of would be a great loss to Chen Yu Yang.
After all, Elementary Realm cultivators, although not extremely rare, was still quite a high existence within the Wind Cloud City, especially those within the High-Tier Elementary Realm and had a chance to break through into the Sky Realm.
If he was stronger enough, he would definitely kill of the Sky Realm cultivator and hit him with a harder loss.
But he was currently too weak, and the main problem was that those in the Sky Realm were able to hover above the ground, which will provide them with a natural height advantage during combat.
He reached the Moonlight Sect a while later, and with his disguise off, along with a change of clean robes, he directly walked towards the mission hall.
He had already collected the Poisonous Purple Herb, so he could simply hand up his mission and be done with his monthly quota.
"Isn't that Long Chen? I heard that he had taken up a 3 Star mission. Where is he going right now?"
"The mission hall? He is walking towards the mission hall? Don't tell me that he actually completed the 3 Star mission?"
"What are you even thinking within your mind? How could a new disciple be able to complete a 3 Star mission? He is probably just giving it up. After all, not even we could stand a chance against that."
And as the surrounding disciples recognized him, they all pointed and murmured amongst themselves.
Long Chen was about to reach the entrance of the mission hall when he saw Xiao Wan Wan rushing towards him.
"Brother Long Chen, did you already complete your mission?" Xiao Wan Wan halted her steps right in front of Long Chen as she asked.
"Yeah, I did. It took me a lot of effort before I was able to complete it though." Long Chen lowered his gaze and replied.
"I knew that Brother Long Chen was the best! Brother Long Chen, I'll go take my leave first. Remember to come visit my courtyard someday!" Xiao Wan Wan adorably smiled, her eyes shimmering in delight, along with a hidden emotion deep within.
"I will." Long Chen perfunctorily said and waved his hands and said goodbye, then entered the mission hall.
Xiao Wan Wan was staring at Long Chen's fading back with a conflicted expression.
"Brother Long Chen, you are currently powerful enough to kill of 5 High-Tier Elementary Realm, while I am still within the Elementary Realm. How could I possibly…catch up to you, and stay beside you?" Xiao Wan Wan eyes were full of distress as she clenched her fists in unwillingness.
The hidden guards she had dispatch to protect Long Chen in the dark had informed her about the events that had taken place.
Even the guards themselves were shocked to their bones when they saw that scene.
And the remaining Sky Realm cultivator had already been killed by them as they returned from their task, on the orders of Xiao Wan Wan.
"Unless….I unlock the seal within my body…If not, I can only watch you fly further and further away from me…" Xiao Wan Wan softly mumbled to herself, as she recalled a matter unique to her body, while she turned away to leave.
On the other hand, Long Chen was back within the mission hall, where the Elder Cang stood at the counter.
"Elder Cang, its been a while. I hope you are doing well today." Long Chen looked at Elder Cang while greeting him in a tone dripping with sarcasm.
Elder Cang, who was in the midst of stuffing a few crystals within his pockets, heard the familiar voice that had hunted him at night.
He abruptly raised his head in shock, and when he saw Long Chen standing there safe and sound, without the slightest speck of injury, his face turned as pale as ghost.
"Impossible…impossible…this must be a dream…" Elder Cang muttered to himself somewhat maniacally while shaking his head.
Young Master Chen had personally told him that they had sent a few assassins to kill him off, so how could he still be alive.
But as he saw Long Chen taking one step, after step towards him, he could do nothing but admit that Long Chen had escaped unscathed.
"Elder Cang, I am here to hand in the 3 Star mission that you had personally handed given to me." Long Chen walked straight up to Elder Cang, directly skipping the small queue of disciples who subconsciously made way for him.
And without saying another word, he took out the Poisonous Purple Herb from within his storage bag, and placed it in front of Elder Cang.
The Poisonous Purple Herb emanated a slight flowery scent, and its purple petals and stem were particular distinct, and unique.
Everybody within the mission hall drew in a breath of cold air after glimpsing of this. Even if they had not hunted for it before, they had seen a few pictures of it, and the herb that Long Chen had taken out perfectly matched the description of the Poisonous Purple Herb.
This meant that Long Chen had managed to get over the Mid-Tier Purple Tiger Beast and acquire this herb, and judging from the fact that the herb was undamaged at all, it was most likely a complete victory.
Long Chen…had combat prowess equal to the Mid-Tier Elementary Realm!
No one was able to speak a single word due to the immense shock they had received.
They knew that Long Chen was talented, but his scale of talent…was a bit too much of them to handle.
Elder Cang was the one whose reaction was the greatest, with his legs turning soft and almost tumbling down onto the ground.
His hands were literally trembling as he held up the Poisonous Purple Herb, while looking at Long Chen incredulously.
"Elder Cang, how is it? Is the quality of this Poisonous Purple Herb good enough for you? If it up to your standard, could you help me check in my new contribution points?" Long Chen sneeringly said while placing his Sect token of identification onto the table.
On his Sect Token, wrote his name, "Long Chen" in bold letters, while they was a row below that read as '0'
Elder Cang frantically nodded his head, "Yes…yes…that is enough. For the completion of this 3 Star mission, you are awarded 1000 Contribution Points."
As he said this, a wave of power entered his Sect Token, and the row that had previously read '0' now displayed '1000' in glaring red numbers;'
"Thank you, Elder Cang. I will make sure to visit this place more often." Long Chen took back his Sect Token, and gave Elder Cang a kind smile, before he turned around to leave.
But to Elder Cang, this smile was akin to that of a devil, and a chill involuntarily went up his spine. It was only after Long Chen had left for quite some time, before he realized that his entire back was now covered with cold sweat.
Meanwhile, Long Chen played around with the Sect Token within his hands with a refreshed smile hung on his face.
A 1000 Contribution Points could buy a lot of things from the Sect Treasury, with medicinal herbs being of them.
He could also buy a higher grade sword, and he was wondering if he should learn blacksmithing, and create his own weapons to use, instead of using his crystals to buy them.
If he was able to unlock the Alchemy feature, he would most likely be able to unlock the Blacksmithing one as well.
