Chapter 102: Your Mission is to Infiltrate the Dao Seeking Sect
“Now that Li Shouyi is dead, there’s no further consideration for his promotion.”
“The government might suspect the presence of a demonic cult here based on his identity, making everyone here stay in line for a while.”
Tang Yunsheng quickly made a decision; he had risen through the ranks step by step, decisively.
“As for the three of you, take out your tokens.”
The three handed over tokens engraved with the words “Deacon.” Tang Yunsheng approached the statue of the Undying Being, bowed three times, and then with a wave of his hand that emitted golden light, he muttered some rapid and indistinct words.
He wiped the tokens, and the word “Deacon” changed to “Lodge Master.”
As an Inspector, Tang Yunsheng had been authorized by the higher-ups to arrange promotions and demotions for positions up to and including lodge masters.
Making Lu Yang and the others lodge masters was not Tang Yunsheng’s idea but the will of the higher-ups. As for which high-ranking official, Tang Yunsheng was not sure; he had heard it was a decision at the level of the vice-sect leader or even higher. He was just executing orders.
“Which county are we supposed to be lodge masters in?” Meng Jingzhou seemed eager to show what he was capable of.
Tang Yunsheng shook his head: “What are you thinking? You’re only at the initial stage of Foundation Building. How could you command respect as lodge masters? Even a place like Yanjiang Lodge wouldn’t do.”
“A lodge master will be parachuted into Yanjiang County. That’s not something you need to worry about.”
“So, what about our lodge master status...”
“Making you lodge masters was not my idea but the higher-ups’. They elevated you to lodge master level, giving you the rank but not the position. This way, you’ll have many of the rights that only lodge masters possess, with fewer restrictions.”
“The higher-ups have given you a confidential mission, which must not be disclosed to anyone but us four!”F0lloww new chapters at
Lu Yang and the others stood at attention, ready for orders.
Tang Yunsheng spoke softly, “The higher-ups have given you one year to find a way to infiltrate the Dao Seeking Sect. I will be your contact person!”
Lu Yang and the others were momentarily taken aback by this task.
Tang Yunsheng waved his hand: “I know this task is extremely difficult. Among the five major immortal gates, the Suspended Temple has too few people, making it inconvenient to place someone inside. The Dao Seeking Sect’s thinking is too erratic, making it hard to get in, and even if you do, you might be discovered due to not fitting in.”
“The three of you have a high degree of compatibility with the Dao Seeking Sect, and you might be able to smoothly enter the Dao Seeking Sect.”
“It’s not that you’re required to become disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect. According to intelligence analysis, the Dao Seeking Sect’s entertainment industry is booming, and they’re hiring every year. You could use this opportunity to infiltrate the Dao Seeking Sect!”
“Of course, this is just one method I’ve mentioned. The sect will not intervene, and you are free to find other methods. The deadline is one year. If you cannot complete the task within a year, the higher-ups will assign you a new task!”
Tang Yunsheng handed out three thick notebooks to them, titled “Immortal Names Already Called (120th Edition).”
The sheer number of immortal names listed made Lu Yang suspect the Undying Sect had already tried every conceivable name.
“We compile the immortal names we’ve recited every few decades to avoid repetition. This is the latest compilation. Take a look and try calling out once, but don’t repeat any names from the notebook.”
Lu Yang called out: “O Undying Being, Archimedes above, your most devout believers sincerely call upon you, please descend your divine traces and protect humanity!”
Meng Jingzhou called out: “O Undying Being, Li Gou Dan above...”
Barbarian Bone called out: “O Undying Being, Yelü Sala De above...”
Clearly, there were few names left for the Undying Being.
After their calls, the Undying Being did not descend his divine traces or resurrect himself.
“That’s it, I’ve relayed to you the mission the higher-ups gave me. Pack your things and find your own way into the Dao Seeking Sect.”
“Yes.”
Back at the barbecue shop, Lan Ting was already sitting in the hall waiting for them. Lu Yang and Lan Ting matched their stories briefly, sharing the subsequent events and the mission Tang Yunsheng had given them. Lan Ting looked at them with a peculiar gaze.
The Undying Sect was probably doomed sooner or later.
“Since you’re leaving, it’s time for this young lady to return to the immortal palace and report on the mission. These past ten days have been delightful, thank you three for your help. Although I did not join the demonic cult, helping you kill the lodge master is also a significant achievement, earning me quite a few contribution points,” Lan Ting said sweetly, reluctant to part.
The word “fate” is indeed marvelous. Initially, she helped Lu Yang kill the tiger out of the duty to assist a fellow from the immortal gates, also carrying the mission to infiltrate the demonic cult. Who would have thought that in the end, she, who had a mission, did not join the demonic cult, whereas Lu Yang and the others, who initially knew nothing of the demonic cult, joined it.
Now with Tang Yunsheng still in the county, if they had too much contact with each other, Tang Yunsheng might discover them, potentially causing trouble.
“The journey is long, may we meet again if fate allows!”
“Goodbye!”
“Take care!”
After seeing off Lan Ting, the three began to pack their things. Meng Jingzhou suddenly remembered: “What about our horse?”
