Chapter 28: CH.28 | Three Mission for Lin Tian

After completely trapping Wu Yue, a sense of relief and calm washed over them. An Yue stepped forward and stood right beside Lin Tian.

They were still standing in front of the pill refinement hall building, where Wu Yue was imprisoned inside and unable to leave.

With her current cultivation base, the chances of her escaping were very small.

"Are... you going to keep Elder Wu Yue imprisoned for a long time?"

"I’ll decide when she’s allowed to come out. For now, she can cultivate inside this formation," Lin Tian explained.

"I don’t know, Master Lin. I feel conflicted."

"I’m glad she’s imprisoned because it means she won’t disturb us anymore. But at the same time, I also feel sorry because she’s become restricted," An Yue replied.

Lin Tian listened to what An Yue said. Maybe she was the only one thinking that way, or maybe the others felt the same.

What was certain was that what Wu Yue received was something she had brought upon herself.

"You all don’t need to worry about her so much. The five of you may go back and rest," Lin Tian said.

An Yue fell silent for a moment before glancing back. Yun Yun responded in the same way by nodding. Listening to what Lin Tian said was probably the right thing.

They needed to rest so they could cultivate and focus tomorrow, especially since there were many new disciples they needed to train.

One by one, they cupped their fists and lowered their heads, saying their farewells to Lin Tian. That left Lin Tian alone in the area.

"Just wait and see, Lin Tian!"

"If I manage to break through to Nascent Soul and destroy this formation, I’ll kill all of your disciples right in front of you!" Wu Yue threatened.

Lin Tian stayed silent for a moment. With Wu Yue’s ability and knowledge, it would not be difficult for her to break through to Nascent Soul.

If she truly meant those words, then Wu Yue could indeed be considered a threat to the Lingxian Sect.

"I don’t know whether this emergency system requires me to save you or not," Lin Tian said while staring sharply ahead.

"Emergency system? What is that?"

With firm steps, Lin Tian walked through the formation wall, instantly shocking Wu Yue.

The woman looked startled before hurriedly running into her pill refinement hall building in panic. Lin Tian walked into the building.

His hand stretched forward, pulling Wu Yue’s body with his spiritual qi. Her body was dragged over, and now Lin Tian was choking her by the neck.

He slammed Wu Yue’s body hard onto the floor, causing the woman to cough up blood from the impact.

This was one way for him to get a response from the emergency system. If the system ordered him to save Wu Yue, then it would appear to stop Lin Tian from killing her.

COUGH!

"Are... you going to kill me?" Wu Yue asked softly.

[WARNING!]

[Killing Wu Yue will result in mission failure]

[Mission failure will cause the Host’s cultivation base to drop by one stage]

The warning system panel appeared before Lin Tian’s face, explaining the consequences of killing Wu Yue.

It was now certain that the emergency mission existed solely for Wu Yue.

Lin Tian released his grip on Wu Yue’s neck, freeing the woman. The moment she was released, she quickly retreated away from Lin Tian.

"You... let me go?" Wu Yue asked in confusion.

[Congratulations!]

[Mission Changed: Emergency Mission → Cultivator Conquest Mission]

[Description: Train foreign cultivators or enemies until they submit and obey the Host]

[Emotional Stage: Anger || Hatred]

[The lower the emotional level, the more obedient the cultivator becomes toward the host]

The system panel appeared, transforming the Emergency Mission into a Cultivator Conquest Mission.

In short, those who received this mission were cultivators who were difficult to persuade or convince.

In the end, the system personally stepped in to make things easier for Lin Tian so he could conquer them, turning enemies into allies with ease.

[First Conquest Mission:]

[Objective: Change Wu Yue’s fear]

[Reward: -15 Hatred]

[Failure will result in the host’s cultivation base dropping and the target dying]

Lin Tian looked at the mission system and focused his gaze ahead, clearly seeing Wu Yue’s frightened expression mixed with dao hatred in her heart.

Lin Tian’s eyes glowed as he activated his cultivation eyes, clearly observing the woman’s status.

[Cultivator Status:]

[Name: Wu Yue]

[Cultivation Stage: Early Foundation Establishment]

[Emotional Stage: Hatred]

[Emotional Level: 100/100]

Unlike trust, where the emotional level needs to increase, the hatred emotional stage requires me to reduce the emotional level.

If it reaches zero, then the emotional stage will drop to anger.

"Sigh!"

"I won’t disturb you, Wu Yue," Lin Tian said.

"Your current condition is the result of cause and effect involving me. I’m responsible for looking after you," Lin Tian continued.

The man turned around and walked out, making Wu Yue feel calmer because Lin Tian had left her alone to cultivate in peace.

"I’ll come visit once every week to check on your condition," Lin Tian said.

Wu Yue chose to stay silent and gave no response, slowly watching Lin Tian disappear from the pill refinement hall building, leaving her alone.

Her heart still felt fearful and uneasy. She was worried Lin Tian would kill her even though she openly claimed not to fear death. In the end, that was just a lie.

Deep down, Wu Yue admitted that she was afraid of dying. She did not want to die, nor did she want to live in humiliation.

Lin Tian arrived at the sect’s main hall, his mind still thinking about what had just happened.

If he thought about it again, he currently had three different missions.

To summon the system, he raised his hand and activated spiritual qi at the tip of his finger. From the white qi light, the system panel manifested before Lin Tian’s face.

Three system panels appeared before his eyes. The first panel was the sect mission that Lin Tian had to carry out for the sect’s benefit, the second panel was the disciple mission, and the last one was the cultivator conquest mission.

All three had punishment consequences if they failed.

The sect mission would result in eternal impotence, the disciple mission would cause the disciple’s cultivation base to collapse, and the cultivator conquest mission would affect both the host’s cultivation base and the cultivator involved.

Just as he was observing the three panels, the first system panel changed. Lin Tian’s attention immediately focused on it.

[Sect Third Mission:]

[Objective: Save five former disciples of the Lingxian Sect]

[Reward: +20 Emotional Level || 5x Mortal-Grade Weapons]

Now the link mission, or sect mission, had reached the third mission.

Lin Tian read it and realized he needed to rescue five former disciples of the Lingxian Sect.

That way, they would receive the rewards, which would greatly help them, especially the mortal-grade weapons.

Lin Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then slowly exhaled. There were too many missions placed before him, and he did not know where to begin.

However, one thing was certain. He needed to focus on the sect mission and disciple tasks.

That way, he, the Lingxian Sect, and his disciples would all benefit.

Looks like I’m going to be very busy from now on.
