Chapter 22


    Li Ming listened to Senior Brother Zhang exin the whole story and understood.


    It turned out that the demon-suppressing seal had been broken, allowing the demons imprisoned within to escape.


    Even though the sect reacted the moment immediately once it was discovered, it was still toote.


    With so many demons, while most were sessfully chased back into the seal, a small number of them still managed to escape.


    Because of this matter, the sect issued this emergency mission, asking the disciples to go down the mountain to chase after the escaped demons.


    Senior Brother Zhang was looking for disciples to assign this urgent task to.


    His main targets were the inner sect disciples, as they had extraordinary strength after reaching theter levels of the qi refinement stage.


    After all, to the Divine Will Sect’s disciples, the demons that had escaped were not that strong or threatening.


    However, if they escaped down the mountain, they would pose a huge threat tomon people.


    Li Ming heard a prompt after Senior Brother Zhang finished speaking.


    [Option 1: Aplish the mission and receive a purple entry.]


    [Option 2: Reject the mission and receive a white entry.]


    A purple entry!


    Li Ming was confronted with simr options as the previous mission.


    The difference was that if he epted and aplished the mission this time, he would get a purple entry.


    The rarity of the entries was divided into the colors white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, and gold. Purple entries were more precious than blue entries.


    This was the first time Li Ming had the chance to get a purple entry, so he was extremely excited.


    He believed that the effect of a purple entry would definitely be much greater than that of a blue entry.


    Not only would it likely provide him with an extraordinary effect, but it also came with opportunities!


    These opportunities were ones such as a chance to modify one’s soul,prehension ability, and spiritual roots… It was something that many people dreamed of obtaining.


    “I understand, senior brother.”


    Li Ming immediately agreed. How could he say no to a purple entry?


    Furthermore, this was an urgent mission from the sect. As an inner sect disciple, he could not refuse.


    Seeing that Li Ming had agreed, Zhang Xiaoping took out a map and handed it to him.


    “There are some demons that escaped in this direction. You can follow this path and bring them back.”


    ording to Senior Brother Zhang, three demons had escaped in this direction, and the sect had recorded the tracks of their escape.


    It would be enough for him to capture and bring back these three demons.


    “Junior Brother Li,” Zhang Xiaoping finally said, “Once you’ve gone down the mountain, you will no longer be in the sect. Although those demons are not as strong as you, you still need to be careful.”


    Li Ming nodded and thanked his senior brother.


    After putting away the map, he did not need to go to the hundred opportunities hall anymore.


    This was because he had previously intended to go to the hundred opportunities hall to ept a mission. But now that the sect had issued an urgent mission, his goal had pretty much already been achieved.


    …


    Li Ming descended the mountain and would soon leave the Divine Will Sect’s territory.


    As he passed by the market, he remembered that he had not dealt with the storage bag that he had taken from Duan Xiuwen previously. He could still sell it.


    The storage bag of an inner sect disciple who had perfected the qi refinement stage was very valuable.


    In the bustling market, there was nock of buyers for such things.


    After Li Ming sold Duan Xiuwen’s storage bag, he received some low-grade spirit stones.


    After careful consideration, he decided to buy a magical artifact.


    Since he was on a mission where he would be heading down the mountain, he would not have much time to make a break through in his cultivation. As such, he felt that a magical artifact that could increase hisbat power immediately was necessary.


    He went to the treasures pavilion in the market and began to choose a magical artifact that was suitable for him.


    On the shelves of the pavilion, he saw manymon magical artifacts such as gourds, flying swords, demon-suppressing gs…


    “Manager, do you have any hand-protecting magical artifacts here?”


    Li Ming looked around and did not find anything to his liking.


    After thest battle, he felt that it would be perfect if he could buy a magical artifact that could protect his hands.


    After all, his hands were an important part of hisbat power. If his hands were injured, hisbat power would be greatly reduced.


    The manager of the treasures pavilion thought for a moment and said mysteriously, “Sir, please wait a moment. I’m sure that you’ll be satisfied with this.”


    Seeing that the manager was so confident, Li Ming’s curiosity was also piqued.


    The treasure pavilion’s manager entered the inner hall and then brought out a pair of pure ck leather gloves.


    It was unknown what kind of ferocious beast the gloves were made of, but they gave off a fierce aura.


    “This magical artifact is called the ‘Exploding mes Gloves.’ It also has a certain protective function, but its main purpose is to allow its user to unleash the might of true qi…”


    The treasure pavilion’s manager introduced the magic gloves.


    After Li Ming received them, they felt a little heavy in his hand, but the material was clearly very tough.


    After he injected his true qi into them, there was even a faint glow of treasure light.


    “Not bad.”


    After a short nce, Li Ming nodded in satisfaction.


    There were not many magical artifacts of this type. Although these gloves were not that effective in terms of defense, they could allow him to defend himself by unleashing greater attack power.


    After Li Ming bought the gloves, he also bought a few talismans.


    He armed himself fully and set off.


    Following the clues given by the sect, he continued tracking down the demons.


    …


    Seven dayster.


    In the wilderness, the sky was clear.


    Li Ming stood firmly on a flying sword, looking like an immortal.


    The sword control technique was one of the basic magical techniques in the Divine Will Sect. Even disciples who had just started cultivating qi could practice it.


    The only difference was the density of the spiritual qi, the speed, control, and so on.


    At this moment, Li Ming was already at the peak of the eighth level of qi refinement, so controlling a small flying sword was naturally a piece of cake to him.


    He kept the map in his sleeve and locked his divine sense on a ck shadow not far away.


    “That… should be the demon, right?”


    After following the demons’ tracks for so long, he finally caught up with the first demon.


    With Li Ming’s speed, he quickly caught up with the demon who had fled madly after sensing the powerful aura.


    Unlike the ghosts in the forest, this demon was more like a demonic beast that had cultivated a human form.


    However, he had not yet reached the peak of his cultivation and still retained many characteristics of a demonic beast, such as the yellow fur on his skin, the thick skin on his face, and the sharp horns on his head.


    “Detestable.”


    It sensed a flying swording from behind it and knew that it could not escape.


    The demon took out a steel needle and shot it at Li Ming.


    It could sense that this cultivator had yet to reach the foundation establishment stage, so it still had a chance of escaping.


    “ng, ng, cling.”


    Li Ming put away his flying sword and waved his arms seeing as he could not dodge the attack.


    His skin, which had been tempered by Iron Skin, could no longer be damaged by ordinary weapons.


    As the steel needle was blocked by Li Ming’s arm, the demon was shocked. This was its unique skill. It filled its hard hair with demonic qi and made it as sharp as a steel needle. It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to deal with it.


    However, Li Ming had already closed in. He had already put on his gloves andunched a simple and unadorned punch at the demon.


    “Pfft!”


    The fist carried the zing sun true fire, and the demon fell to the ground.


    It spat out demonic blood and revealed a ferocious expression.


    Demons were not so easily killed. However, as their nature was aligned with yin, they were greatly restrained by yang and righteous cultivation techniques.


    Li Ming clenched his fists and walked toward the trembling demon.


    After some thought, he took out the magic storage bag that was specially used to store demons.


    “Collect!”


    The demon’s will dissipated after taking a punch, and it had no power to resist.


    With a scream, it turned into a ck light and was stored inside Li Ming’s bag.


    Li Ming tied the bag to his waist and said to himself, “That was quite simple.”


    He had managed to easily subdue his first demon.
