The next day, early in the morning, while the disciples were all practicing in the arena, Ning Qi went to check on the mission hall.
"System! Have you completed gathering the missions?"
Ning Qi inquired as he noticed the boards remained empty.
[Ding! All the required missions for the current sect level are gathered... Putting up on mission boards... Display successful... Please check them, host.]
Soon, words started to form on the mission boards, and in two or three seconds, they were filled with missions.
Ning Qi looked at them one by one, but there was also one more person who looked at this magical thing happening with a bewildered expression.
'Gasp'
Ning Qi looked back as he heard the gasping sound. His brows crunched into a frown as he saw Kuang Pei looking at the mission boards with a dumbfounded expression.
"You are not feeling pain anymore? Even if you feel pain now, don't shout out, or else I will just kill you... I'm trying my best not to kill you."
Ning Qi is forewarned because he is filled with rage. But the reason is telling him not to do it, or else this guy would have turned into a mess of blood by now.
"Hm! Just let me go... I will never trouble you or your family after this."
Kuang Pei gritted his teeth to bear the pain, and his mind is fully confused. He just understood the fact that he had messed with someone that no normal person in the world could mess with.
"Letting you go is out of the question, as I don't want you to disturb my friend's life."
Ning Qi said as he looked at him. He knows this guy will not dare to mess with them after learning their identity, but if the opportunity or any other opportunities presented themselves, he would...
Ning Qi doesn't want to take a chance. He stopped looking at him and decided to ask the system for help.
"System! Can you provide me with any good suggestions? Like a slave seal or a poison with a separate antidote in all those novels?"
Ning Qi asked casually, as he was not expecting the system to help with this kind of thing. He just asked to try his luck.
[Ding! The host can use the Black Sect seal. The persons who are branded with the black sect seal will become sect properties and never be able to set foot outside the sect unless the sect master removes them.]
"Hm?? A black sect seal? Do I have that? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Ning Qi inquired, as he had no idea such things were available to him. He used a red or orange seal to brand disciples.
But he was surprised by the White Seal on the day he branded Ning Jing as an elder. Now there is one more black seal, out of nowhere.
He waited for a moment for the system's answer, but he didn't get anything, which means...
He shook his head and decided to deal with this guy first.
"Kuang Pei! I have two choices for you. Either you die here today so that I don't have to worry about many things, or I will brand you with something. Of course, once you've been branded, you'll never be able to leave past the main gate without experiencing either abnormal pain or turning into dust."
Ning Qi said, as he also didn't know exactly what would happen. He still decided to ask this guy's opinion, not wanting to force a person to become a slave.
"I won't trouble--"
Kuang Pei is just about to plead for mercy and let him go.
But as soon as he said those words, Ning Qi released a bit of pressure from his body, instantly making that guy's eyes go wide with trepidation and his body start shaking abnormally.
"Don't talk nonsense with me! I gave you two choices. Choose one of them, or else I will choose one for you. I will give you a count of three, as I have too many things to deal with right now."
Ning Qi grumbled as he examined the missions posted in the mission hall. And some of those missions have a time limit to finish.
"One... Two..."
"I chose the second option... Arghh."
Kuang Pei shouted in a frightened manner as he saw Ning Qi counting a bit fast. As he moved quickly to shout, he stumbled forward and fell on his hand, instantly making his pain intensify 10-fold.
Ning Qi scrunched his brows as he saw the guy wailing on the floor and struggling to get up.
He used his newly acquired spiritual energy technique to let him stand up.
Kuang Pei again felt curious about how it was even possible. But he is still in pain, and as such, he just looked at Ning Qi as though asking that he was going to let him live like this.
Ning Qi gradually raised his hand. Soon, a black Taohua seal flashed from his hand before going directly into Kunag Pei's head.
Kuang Pei immediately felt a kind of connection with the area around him, and he also felt danger once he passed a certain range that he was allowed to move in.
"WHO ARE YOU GUYS?!!!!" He couldn't help but shout out, to which Ning Qi just blankly looked at him.
"You don't need to know anything, and I don't have time to bother with you. Also, make sure to order your food and other items directly from your mobile device. Don't talk with the disciples unless it is necessary or unless they talk with you. You got that?"
Ning Qi said this as he finally felt relieved after tying this guy up.
"What about my hand? I will probably die soon if I don't get treatment quickly."
Kuang Pei asked a bit pitifully. He felt like his entire life would be bound to just this area, which made him a bit sad and regretful about what he did.
"Take this pill and eat it. Also, you can sleep on the first floor or the second floor. It doesn't matter. But never go to the third floor."
Ning Qi pondered for a moment as he tossed a healing pill to him. He doesn't want any doctors here, which will create more doubts in the outside world.
Now he doesn't fear that someone will come for trouble, as the police department is already aware of them. But he doesn't want the limelight and unnecessary attention, which will disturb the peaceful atmosphere here.
"Alright! Go outside, I have something to deal with here. That pill will heal injuries..."
Ning Qi motioned for him to leave with his hand.
Kuang Pei wanted to ask a bit more, as he doesn't know how this round pill can heal him. But he dreaded it as soon as he looked into the eyes of Ning Qi. He slowly turned back as he made his way out of the mission hall.
"Hm! Finally, the trouble is solved. Now, it's time to solve these missions."
[Ding! The rewards displayed on the mission board are for those that solve the missions. But for every mission that is completed by disciples or elders, the host will also get rewards based on the complexity of the mission. But the host rewards will be less than 20 percent of the mission rewards.]
"Fair enough! I'm just gaining the rewards even without participating. I wasn't even expecting anything... You are the best, system."
Ning Qi commented as he heard the notification from the system.
Ning Qi then took his mobile out to drop a message in their WeChat group, asking all of them to come to the mission hall.
In around 2 minutes, everyone came inside and was bewildered by the scene that was presented in front of them.
"Brother! What are all these? Are they all the missions to complete?"
Ning Jing asked as she observed the boards with the missions, while the others were still observing them one by one.
"Hm! This hall is going to be our new mission hall for everyone... Give me a minute, and I will explain to you guys."
Ning Qi responded without looking back, as he still had one more doubt to clear regarding this mission hall.
"System! How do they take on the missions, and how will these rewards be distributed?" Ning Qi asked as he needed to know this process to explain it to them.
[Ding! Once a disciple decides to take on the mission, they can flash their seals on that particular mission to accept it. Once they complete the mission, they can again flash their seals to report the mission's completion or failure, which will be evaluated by the system.]
[Next, depending on their contributions and success, the system will reward them with a token that contains their rewards. They can again flash their seals on the token to accept the rewards directly.]
"Nice! I thought I needed to make a 'show' every time a disciple complete's a mission that will be hectic."
Ning Qi muttered to himself, before finally turning back to look at the disciples to explain the process.
