Chapter 5: Chapter 5 The Qingshui River, with its surging waters, is magnificent and endless, like a giant dragon lying at the bottom of the river. It is an important river near Qinghe City. It flows out from the Kunlun Mountains, stretches for thousands of miles, with vast waves and surging tides hitting the shore. It flows through Qinghe City, and Qinghe City got its name because of this river. At dawn. When it was just getting light, from a distance, the Qingshui River looked like a black dragon lying on the ground, majestic and grand. Hearing the sound of the surging waves hitting the shore, Zhou Peng hurriedly walked towards the river. The bright moon was hanging in the sky, and the bright moonlight was pouring down. The night wind blew, and the reeds rustled, adding a wonderful artistic conception. Despite the beautiful scenery, Zhou Peng had no intention of enjoying it. He had to hurry up to wash off the dirty blood on his body. If he didn't hurry up and go back, Zhang Dafu would surely scold him severely when he found out. Immediately, he quickened his pace and came to a shore. He took off his clothes, revealing his thin body. When the breeze blew, Zhou Peng shivered involuntarily. Although it was summer, it was still a bit cold when the river wind blew. However, he didn't care so much and was just about to jump into the river to have a good wash. Just as he was about to jump into the river, a corpse was floating among the floating waterweeds beside him, like a big fish stranded. The golden clothes on his body were flashing in the moonlight. "Someone has drowned?" Zhou Peng quickly jumped into the water and pulled the person ashore. "There's no breath. Is he dead?" Zhou Peng put his finger on the person's philtrum and felt it slightly. Looking at his body full of scars and his chest was charred black, as if he had been struck by lightning. His appearance was very terrifying. This person was wearing luxurious clothes, and he must be from a wealthy family. Zhou Peng's eyes fell on his bulging bosom, and he showed a sly smile, "A gentleman takes wealth in a proper way, while a villain takes wealth by reaching out casually." He didn't care whether the person was dead or alive. In these days, being poor was the most terrifying thing. All the thoughts about bad luck had long been forgotten. Just as Zhou Peng took out a delicate small box from the dead man's bosom, the man's hand suddenly moved and grabbed Zhou Peng's right hand suddenly. His eyes opened wide, and he glared angrily and shouted, "Thief, your life is mine." "A (zombie)!?" The sudden change almost scared Zhou Peng's soul out of his body. Immediately, Zhou Peng didn't care so much. He kicked the man's head with one foot, and only heard a "click" sound, as if the bone was cracked. "See if you're still alive." Zhou Peng complained. Then the man opened his mouth and said, "Young man, it's fate that I meet you when I'm coming back to life..." "Not dead?" Zhou Peng was stunned for a moment. His right hand was grabbed by a bony but powerful hand, and it was very painful. Just as he was about to give him another kick, the man said again, "I'm already dead. Don't be alarmed." "You're still talking after you're dead. Do you think I'm stupid?" Immediately, Zhou Peng kicked again and thought in his heart, "Is this called having evil intentions when seeing wealth?" Judging from the gorgeous patterns on the surface, the brocade box in his hand was extraordinary. It was also embroidered with gold edges. Just by itself, it could be sold for a lot of silver. Not to mention what was inside. Taking advantage of his weakness to take his life is the only rule of survival in the game. Seeing that the man was almost dead, what harm could a few more kicks do? Even if someone reported to the officials, could they find him? But strangely, this heavy kick didn't make him stop talking, as if it didn't hurt at all. "With your low cultivation level, how can you hurt me at all? If my foundation hadn't been destroyed, I could make you disappear with just a thought." Zhou Peng was stunned and didn't dare to kick again. Looking at the way he was talking, it didn't seem like he was lying to him. So, his tone changed and became very respectful and said, "Senior, I did something disrespectful in a panic just now. I'm sorry. Please don't take it to heart." "Forget it, forget it. I don't have much time. Let's make a long story short." "Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?" "Worship you as my teacher?" Zhou Peng was stunned for a moment, and thought slyly in his heart, "Worship a dead person as my teacher? What good can a dead person do for me?" "There are many benefits. Just think that I have the supreme secret books and countless magic pills. As long as you worship me as your teacher, all these are yours." Before Zhou Peng could answer, a system voice popped up in his mind, "Accept Zang Tianji's request. The reward for apprenticeship is 1000 experience points, 100 (qigong) points, and 10 survival value." The reward is too generous. Just accepting the apprenticeship. Is it necessary to be so generous? I have to accept it. Looking at the attractive task reward, Zhou Peng didn't say a word and knelt down on the spot and kowtowed, "Master, please accept my worship." "Good, good, good..." Zang Tianji had no expression on his face and still looked like a dead person. However, from the tone of his speech, it was not difficult to hear that he was very excited, very excited... "Apprenticeship successful. You have obtained the rewards, 1000 experience points, 100 (qigong) points, and 10 survival value." "This task is too simple. The reward is so generous. It's so great." "You are my 1089th disciple, Zang Tianji. The great responsibility of revitalizing the Tianji Sect in the future will fall on you..." "I will revitalize your Tianji Sect in the future. Should we talk about the benefits now?" Zhou Peng looked at Zang Tianji and was secretly happy, "What Tianji Sect? There should be many treasures." "Greedy, good, greedy. You have the heart of greed and the heart of not being willing to be inferior to others. These two hearts are in line with my intention. There are countless treasures in the Tianji Sect. Only you can regain the position of the sect leader of the Tianji Sect. Everything in the Tianji Sect is yours." "Do you think I'm stupid? Although I don't know how powerful your Tianji Sect is, just your 1088 disciples are enough for me. How can a low - class pariah like me compete for the position of the sect leader?" "As long as you cultivate the 'Dragon Elephant Taixu Sutra' and break through the Qiankun Realm, no one in the Tianji Sect is your opponent. At that time, you take out the token of the sect leader. I believe that no one will not be convinced at that time." "If you regain the position of the sect leader of the Tianji Sect, you will help me do a few things." "What things?" Zhou Peng was excited. Suddenly, he was excited without any warning. At this time, a task popped up in his mind. The level of the task made him dumbfounded. After playing online games for seven years and accepting countless tasks in the game, he had never encountered SSS... super tasks. You should know that tasks above the S level are already at the top level. Generally, the highest task level set in a game is the SSS level. This kind of task is rare in a thousand years. The possibility of a SSS - level task being triggered in an online game is almost zero. But now he has encountered a SSS... super task. The level of the task is something he has never seen before. You can imagine how generous the reward is. Zhou Peng didn't dare to think about it anymore. He was afraid that his heart couldn't bear it. Immediately, he recited "accept" in his mind. At this time, there was a hint of infinite hatred in Zang Tianji's tone, "Kill Long Xiaotian and flatten the Wanmo Sect." "Long Xiaotian is a traitor of the Tianji Sect. He colluded with the Wanmo Sect and took my 'Dragon Elephant Taixu Sutra'. As long as you do these two things, everything in the Tianji Sect belongs to you. If you still have a conscience, use the supreme supernatural power to resurrect me. At that time, I will tell you a big secret." It was all in a mess. Zhou Peng was confused when he heard it. Why did such a simple thing become so complicated? Isn't this just a bloody revenge plot? For the Dragon Elephant Taixu Sutra, Long Xiaotian colluded with the Wanmo Sect and set a trap to seriously injure Zang Tianji. Unexpectedly, he escaped. Then he met Zhou Peng and entrusted everything to Zhou Peng. The SSS... super task was to ask him to kill Long Xiaotian and then destroy the Wanmo Sect. Even if Zhou Peng wanted to help him take revenge, he didn't have the ability. The strength of the sect leader level was not his opponent. He was only at the third level of a martial artist now. How long would it take him to reach the Qiankun Realm? Some people can only reach the martial artist realm in their lifetime and can't break through anymore. There are very few experts at the Qiankun Realm on the Tianyuan Continent. They have all cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years. Zhou Peng knew his own abilities. He really didn't know if he could live that long if he wanted to cultivate to the Qiankun Realm. However, Zhou Peng didn't care so much. He wouldn't do something without benefits. He was not reconciled if he didn't get some benefits now. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
