Novel Full Chapter 395: Testing This Damn Quest
Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Testing This Damn Quest
A hundred miles outside Mian Mountain.
The terrain here is relatively flat, like a low-lying area within the mountains.
The Great Buddha Temple is located here.
No guide is needed, Cen Yunuo is very familiar with this place.
The two flew in the sky, spotting the buildings of the Great Buddha Temple from afar.
They originally planned to head straight there.
But just at this moment.
Lu Ran suddenly keenly noticed that there were traces of monks in the mountains and forests below?
“Those monks earlier should be out on patrol too; it’s not surprising to find monks here. I’m just curious, if I destroy the Great Buddha Temple but don’t kill the monks outside, would it still count as completing my quest?” Lu Ran asked curiously.
Because the description of the quest was quite simple.
It was just to destroy the Great Buddha Temple.
So.
If the requirement is to kill all the monks of the Great Buddha Temple, that’s a bit too harsh.
Previously in the Imperial Capital, quite a few monks were chasing after Cen Yunuo.
Now, I’m not sure if they’ve all returned.
Of course, except for those killed by Lu Ran.
At the same time.
Adding the few just now on the Daluo Palace mountain top, and the few below here, plus others outside.
This is too troublesome.
Lu Ran couldn’t precisely find all the monks from the Great Buddha Temple to kill them all.
Moreover.
If the Great Buddha Temple is destroyed, and the quest isn’t completed, those monks outside probably wouldn’t dare show their faces anymore.
The size of Longxia is vast; finding them all would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!
“I also don’t know, the task description is a bit vague,” Cen Yunuo admitted to not knowing.
After all.
Even in the world of Professionals, I’ve never seen anyone receive such a quest.
“Then to be safe, we’d better kill them.” Lu Ran suggested.
Since they’ve seen them, there’s no way they’d let them go.
Earlier on Daluo Palace’s mountain top, Lu Ran had the same thought, assuming that they were all monks from the Great Buddha Temple, all must be killed!
But thinking about it now, maybe the conditions are a bit harsh?
“Consider this as an experiment. If destroying the Great Buddha Temple but not all the monks means the quest isn’t done, then I’m too lazy to do such a crappy quest,” Lu Ran said casually.
It’s too exasperating!
“Okay,” Cen Yunuo nodded in agreement.
“By the way, I forgot to ask you, with nobody left in Daluo Palace now and your master dead, your master must have been the Taoist Master of Daluo Palace. Now that he’s gone, shouldn’t you be the Taoist Master?” Lu Ran asked.
“You mean, passing it on to me?” Cen Yunuo asked.
“Yes, that’s what I mean,” Lu Ran nodded.
But Cen Yunuo shook her head.
“It’s not that simple. Passing leadership is very complicated, with formalities like receiving the Celestial Master seal, setting up the Thunder Altar, numerous rules, a complex process, and it’s not just a nominal succession but also the inheritance of the Tao Lineage,” Cen Yunuo explained.
In short, without this process, passing on leadership is impossible.
This was something Lu Ran hadn’t considered.
Hearing this.
Lu Ran said, “So if it wasn’t passed on to you, and your master’s gone, doesn’t that mean Daluo Palace has no successors, not even a Sect Leader?”
Cen Yunuo’s eyes dimmed slightly.
She nodded, “Yes, and at the same time, the Tao Lineage is considered lost. But given the Taoist Sect’s decline, even if the Tao Lineage were preserved, there’d be no successors.”
That’s true enough.
In her heart, Cen Yunuo of course still felt sorrow.
After all, her own Tao Lineage is just gone like that.
Lu Ran looked at Cen Yunuo in amazement.
That old Daoist left too hastily, and why didn’t he pass on the leadership before leaving?
Even passing on the Tao Lineage would have been good.
…
At the same time.
In the forest below.
“This area is under the jurisdiction of the Great Buddha Temple, no loitering by unauthorized individuals!” the lead monk said coldly.
The group of monks behind him exuded an air of hostility.
An aggressive posture, lacking any hint of a monk’s compassion.
Before them.
Were five Professionals.
Looking at their equipment, they were a fully equipped team.
A girl among them was a healer.
A Defense Professional, not as burly as Lei Tai.
And three others, an archer, a mage, and a swordsman.
A pretty standard and reasonable team setup.
The team leader was the archer, a short-haired girl whose equipment and style had a dashing panache.
She frowned, “What do you mean? You’re just NPCs, this is an undeveloped area, anyone can come here to level up, what right do you have to stop us?”
As she spoke.
Their expressions and actions were cautious.
Because in their minds, these monks were indeed monsters!
However, they were intelligent, and they seemed to be of no low level.
Fortunately, these monks were not the aggressive type; otherwise, if a fight broke out, the consequences could be dire.
They didn’t particularly enjoy taking risks.
But this newly upgraded zone was different from previous undeveloped areas.
The older undeveloped areas had monsters of such high levels that no one dared to explore or attempt them.
But the maps that emerged after the world’s data upgrade.
Had varying levels.
They were just curious, wanting to experience the new maps, so they navigated through the low-level monster areas to get here.
Even now.
This is still considered a low-level monster area.
But they didn’t expect to encounter monks here!
Moreover.
Oddly enough.
These monks came over just to drive them away!
When had they ever encountered such a situation?
Just imagine you’re out in the wild grinding monsters, and a few high-level monsters suddenly come up, and the leader says, “This is our area, you can’t level up here.”
What an international joke!
It’s absolutely mind-boggling!
“Audacious! This area is under the Great Buddha Temple’s jurisdiction, you have been clearly informed, leave at once, or be killed without mercy!” the lead monk shouted.
Damn!
If words went wrong, he resorted to killing!
The archer girl, being the team leader, knew that if a fight broke out, their team would most likely be wiped out.
No need to get into a quarrel with these monks.
So she gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, we’re leaving.”
After saying this, they started to back away.
But amongst them, the swordsman, a tall and slender young man.
Smirked coldly and said, “Just a few monsters scaring you off, just kill these baldies! They’re forcing us to leave, it’s just the monster’s mechanics. Are we going to walk away and not be ashamed?”
After he spoke.
He drew his long sword with a swish.
In his view, they were just monsters!
The archer girl’s pupils narrowed suddenly.
She cursed quietly, idiot!
Hastily said, “Gao Ming, don’t be impulsive! Let’s go, this isn’t the place to start a dispute!”
But the swordsman ignored her.
He said coldly, “What’s there to fear? Everyone, charge! Remember to heal me! Keep my health up, I can take them on myself!”
After speaking.
He foolishly started walking towards the monks!
And this completely incited the monks’ anger.
The Buddha Qi around the monks erupted violently!
