Chapter 388 -388 Interrogation of the Demon King’s Hidden Merits

Upon seeing this.

The Task Hall Deacon was terrified, quickly running over.

Silently cupped his hands in salute, then obediently stood behind his own elder.

He didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

Unexpectedly, the merit points at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were being calculated personally by a Vice Pavilion Master.

It showed how seriously the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion took these merit points.

But thinking carefully, it was understandable.

Each merit point would be exchanged for wealth from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s treasure house.

What they were calculating wasn’t just merit points, it was the Pavilion’s money.

How could they not take it seriously?

What the Deacon found rather amusing was.

This Vice Pavilion Master seemed to have heard Jiang Fan wanted to write a report letter.

He seemed to be displeased.

As if he was ready to criticize him.

“Ha, who do you think you are, trying to write a report letter?”

The Deacon sneered inwardly.

As if he had already seen the scene of Jiang Fan about to be scolded.

Jiang Fan heard someone calling out to him.

He turned his head and was taken aback.

Immediately set down the pen in his hand, cupped his hands and said, “Junior Jiang Fan of the Green Cloud Sect, greets Vice Pavilion Master You.”

Jiang Fan?

A face full of surprise followed, saying:

“Why is it you?”

Jiang Fan smiled and said, “Junior is here to perform a Level-One Task.”

Level-One?

Inside, You Yunzi was secretly amazed. How long had it been, and Jiang Fan had already grown to be able to perform a Level-One Task?

No wonder he had taken a liking to this young talent.

When the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion recruits disciples, no matter what, such an outstanding disciple must be brought in.

“What task is it? Let me see.”

Taking up the jade scroll on the table, You Yunzi scanned it lightly and showed a look of surprise.

“Interrogating the Demon King? This task is not easy to complete.”

“At least ten people have taken this task and failed.”

“You must be careful, the failure of this task will affect your merit ranking.”

Failure also affects ranking?

Jiang Fan looked slightly taken aback.

You Yunzi said in surprise, “Did no one remind you before you took a Level-One Task?”

“To prevent certain disciples from occupying high-merit tasks but not performing them seriously, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion set early rules.”

“If a Level-One Task fails, half of this task’s merit will be deducted.”

Jiang Fan clicked his tongue.

To put it differently, if you cannot complete the task, you not only get no merit points but also have to compensate half?

Was it because his strength was too strong and gave Liu Wuchen and the others the wrong impression that he wouldn’t fail?

So he wasn’t reminded of such important matters at all?

With a wry smile, he cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for the reminder, Vice Pavilion Master You.”

“However, since this disciple has taken the task, I naturally have some confidence.”

Seeing this, You Yunzi no longer tried to dissuade him, nodding and smiling, “Then you go.”

“I look forward to seeing your name in the merit statistics.”

Jiang Fan hesitated and said:

“Vice Pavilion Master You, please wait. Let me finish writing the report letter, and you can take it back to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion on your way.”

The corner of You Yunzi’s mouth twitched.

He almost forgot, he had wanted to criticize Jiang Fan’s improper behavior of writing report letters.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

But since it’s Jiang Fan reporting.

Could that be called misconduct?

That was a righteous act, bravely revealing flaws and defying power, a model behavior.

“With me here, do you still need to write a report letter?”

You Yunzi exuded authority without anger: “What issue do you have? I will handle it on the spot for you!”

After all, he was one of the four Vice Pavilion Masters.

Except for matters affecting the Nine-Sect Land, which needed to be discussed with the Pavilion Master.

All other matters could be handled by himself.

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up.

How could a report letter be as efficient as a direct complaint?

Immediately, he briefly explained his situation.

After listening, You Yunzi’s expression darkened.

He originally thought it was a trivial matter.

After understanding, he realized the Giant Sect’s Deacon dared to obstruct someone from performing a Level-One Task?

Every task released by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion concerned the war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race.

Especially Level-One Tasks.

They even affected the direction of the battlefield!

This was not something to be trifled with!

The task of interrogating the Demon King had already failed ten times, with no progress.

Even the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master had been alarmed, proactively inquiring about the task’s situation.

If no one could complete it, the task would be taken back.

Someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would be assigned to interrogate directly.

But what You Yunzi could never have expected was that such an important task, the Giant Sect was not actively seeking someone to complete it.

They were actually obstructing others, not cooperating in execution!

“How dare you!”

You Yunzi’s gaze became sharp, he shouted sternly.

Not to mention the Deacon, even the elder standing beside him shuddered in fear.

Turning around, he kicked that Deacon to the ground.

“Who gave you the courage to obstruct a Level-One Task?”

“Do you have a death wish?”

The Deacon said fearfully, “Reply… Replying to Vice Pavilion Master You.”

“It… it was Jin Zhongming who commanded me not to allow anyone to perform this task for now.”

Jin Zhongming?

You Yunzi frowned slightly.

This name, he had heard even at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Because he was second only to Xia Chaoge among the Nine-Sect Land’s prodigies.

The current Chief Disciple of the Giant Sect.

One of the Vice Pavilion Masters had already declared intent to take him as a disciple.

Jiang Fan also showed a look of surprise.

A famed person casts a long shadow.

Living in the Nine-Sect, how could he have not heard of Jin Zhongming?

No wonder this Deacon would cause trouble.

Jin Zhongming’s status was not lower than some elders of the Giant Sect.

His words, the Deacon before him dared not go against.

You Yunzi looked at Jiang Fan and asked, “Do you still want to perform this task?”

His tone was no longer as intense as before.

Because he needed to consider Jiang Fan’s situation.

If he used his status as Vice Pavilion Master to force the task to be performed, there would naturally be no problem.

Even the Vice Pavilion Master behind Jin Zhongming would have nothing to say.

The issue was, he would leave afterwards.

Jiang Fan would end up offending Jin Zhongming.

Before the beast tide ended, Jiang Fan would likely have to remain within the Giant Sect’s territory.

If he were to be retaliated against by Jin Zhongming…

However, what You Yunzi never expected was Jiang Fan’s response: “Why would Vice Pavilion Master You say such a thing?”

He looked bewildered.

Could it be that You Yunzi was also afraid of Jin Zhongming?

You Yunzi kindly reminded, “As far as I know, Jin Zhongming has a bad temper.”

So he was worried about being bullied!

Jiang Fan smiled and said, “Which one in the Giant Sect has a good temper? Did I not offend their Sect Master as well?”

“A mere Chief Disciple, what does it matter?”

Ah?

You Yunzi clicked his tongue.

No, you are just a junior disciple!

How did you manage to offend the Giant Sect Master as well?

However, his admiration for Jiang Fan only grew.

As a martial artist, without some fighting spirit, you couldn’t go far.

“Since you say so, this Vice Pavilion Master will accompany you.”

“I also want to see just how tough this Demon King’s mouth is.”

You Yunzi nodded slightly.

Finishing, he coldly looked at the Deacon kneeling on the ground: “Still not leading the way?”

The Deacon, terrified, repeatedly said, “Yes, yes, yes.”

He hurriedly led You Yunzi and Jiang Fan towards the Giant Sect’s prison.

That elder, feeling something was wrong, hastily headed to the Sect Master Hall.

At this moment, the Giant Sect Master Kong Yuanba.

Was smiling and hosting an old woman sitting in the Chief’s seat.

Her hair was white, but her skin looked as rosy and glossy as a thirty-year-old’s.

A pair of deeply aged eyes, filled with wisdom.

“Vice Hall Master Gu, thank you for your reminder. We would have never known the Demon King held such significant secrets.”

“This advantage almost fell into someone else’s hands.”

Kong Yuanba repeatedly cupped his hands, extremely grateful.

The old woman in front of him was none other than Gu Huaxi, one of the four Vice Pavilion Masters of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

She was also the Vice Pavilion Master who had declared intent to take Jin Zhongming as a disciple.

This time, she came specifically to notify the Giant Sect that the task of interrogating the Demon King carried immense merit.

If Jin Zhongming were to obtain it.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would surely reward him greatly.

Gu Huaxi lightly nodded and said, “In doing so, I am breaking the rules.”

“If word spreads, I will be scrutinized.”

Kong Yuanba understandingly said, “Rest assured Vice Pavilion Master Gu, we didn’t know you came to the Giant Sect.”

Seeing his understanding, Gu Huaxi felt slightly reassured and said:

“Notify Jin Zhongming to return to the sect as soon as possible and handle this beast.”

“This is as much as I can help him.”

“Farewell.”

But just at that moment.

The elder hurriedly reported, “Sect Master, a disciple from the Green Cloud Sect is heading to interrogate the Demon King.”

Kong Yuanba frowned, “Who allowed this?”

“Didn’t Jin Zhongming send a message to the Task Hall, instructing that no one should perform this task until he returns?”

“Moreover, a disciple from the Green Cloud Sect?”

Anger flashed in his eyes.
