Chapter 456: Second Stage of the Quest

Jiang Feng knew that the Plot Quest was not going to be easy when Bishop Baiyue had appeared.

If it was a normal Main Plot Quest, someone at the power level of Bishop Baiyue should not have appeared.

Because if that happened and other players had received it, they could never finish it.

It was quite possible that because he was the one that had accepted it, the difficulty of this plot quest had increased. As the quest difficulty had increased, so did the rewards.

He had already obtained a Primal Artifact when he finished a secondary quest. He could not even dream of what kind of rewards he would gain in the end.

However, if he wanted to reap the rewards, he could not allow anything to happen to Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Zhao Ling’er.

When he saw the Shifter-Sealing Tower crumbling, he quickly teleported into Shifter-Sealing Tower.

He activated his Golden Fire Sacred Domain, automatically pushing away the falling giant rocks.

When he reached the middle of the tower, he saw Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Zhao Ling’er holding each other’s hands.

“Go!”

At this time, Lin Yueru suddenly released her hand and pushed Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er toward the exit.

“No!”

“No!”

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er shouted out anxiously when they floated out of the Shifter-Sealing Tower.

Ling Yueru cried as she looked at Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er leave. She remembered her promise with Li Xiaoyao as tears streamed down from her eyes, “Eat till we are old, play till we are old. I did not know that I am already old!”

“Bully…” Li Xiaoyao looked at Lin Yueru as his eyes became wet.

At this time, the three giant stone swords in the middle of the Shifter-Sealing Tower began to fall on Lin Yueru.

“No!”

When Jiang Feng saw this, he teleported next to Lin Yueru and planted Deicide into the ground, blocking the giant rock that was going to slam on Lin Yueru.

But just as he had saved Lin Yueru, another stone sword suddenly flew toward Zhao Ling’er.

One of them must die. Since he had saved Lin Yueru, then Zhao Ling’er must die.

“Damn!”

Jiang Feng cursed under his breath and took out the Lianyao Flask and threw Lin Yueru into it. He then appeared instantly next to Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er, extended both of his hands and caught Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er’s hands, and flew toward the exit of the Shifter-Sealing Tower.

Whoosh!

Just as they were almost out of the Shifter-Sealing Tower, Bishop Baiyue once again attacked and several beams of light were fired toward them.

“Teleport!”

Jiang Feng teleported away once again and avoided several attacks. But what made his face turn pale was that Zhao Ling’er had been hit by one of the beams of light and immediately fainted.

At this time, they rushed out of the Shifter-Sealing Tower.

The Shifter-Sealing Tower had also completely collapsed.

“Ling’er!” Li Xiaoyao quickly grabbed onto her when he saw that she had fainted.

“Go!”

Jiang Feng took out the Lianyao Flask and waved it in his hand and he had both Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er enter the Lianyao Flask. He then quickly escaped Mount Shu.

He could not defeat Bishop Baiyue at this time. After saving Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, and Lin Yueru, his quest was already completed. There was no need to fight against Bishop Baiyue head-on.

“You think you can run?” Bishop Baiyue waved his hand and several barriers appeared in front of Jiang Feng, blocking his escape route.

Jiang Feng stopped, turned, and looked at Bishop Baiyue with a cold smile and said, “DO you think you can stop me if I want to escape?”

With that, he waved his hand and a Spatial Barrier appeared in front of him. He took out the Teleportation Cauldron and entered. He then immediately disappeared, Bishop Baiyue’s barrier could not stop him at all.

“You cannot escape my Five Fingers Mountain!” Bishop Baiyue looked at the Teleportation Cauldron that had disappeared with a cold smile. He then extended his palm and then clutched it tightly.

Whoosh!

As soon as Bishop Baiyue had finished saying so, a handsome middle-aged Taoist priest with grey hair appeared next to him.

The Taoist priest had his hands behind him as he stood in mid-air, and looked to the front as he said, “The person that cannot escape the Five Fingers Mountain is not the Shifter Emperor, but you!”

“Who are you?” Bishop Baiyue looked at the Taoist priest next to him, and he suddenly became cautious of him. He gave him an uncomfortable feeling. Very uncomfortable feeling.

“Is that important?”

“You have a death wish!”

The Taoist priest made him more and more uncomfortable. When he heard what the Taoist had to say, his calm heart began to ripple. He raised his palm and slammed it toward the Taoist Priest.

“This…”

But what shocked Bishop Baiyue was that despite the priest not doing anything, he was not able to slam his palm on him.

“Tathagata. If this is your Dao, and your Buddha, then you are destined to fail!” The priest said calmly as his figure began to disappear in front of Bishop Baiyue.

Perhaps it was because the Taoist Priest’s appearance had caused his heart to tremble, or maybe his mind was in a garbled mess, he did not chase after Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyao. Instead, he turned around and left.

***

Whoosh!

The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.

Once Jiang Feng had used the Teleportation Cauldron to leave Mount Shu, he then returned to the Ancient City.

When he reappeared on the Teleportation Circle, it gave him a sense of familiarity.

He stood on the Shifter Emperor Palace and looked down at the many players in the Ancient City. He had seemingly entered into a daze.

When he just joined the game, he was just a young university student. He did not expect that so many things would change after joining the game.

He felt that he did not just play the game for a year. He felt that he had stayed here for decades, perhaps even centuries.

He shook his head and stopped himself from thinking about all these things. As soon as he returned to the Shifter Emperor Palace, he then entered into the Lianyao Flask.

Ding. System Prompt. Congratulations on completing the first stage of the Legend of Sword and Fairy Plot Quest. You have received 15,000,000 experience points and two Divine Recovery Pills.

Ding. System Prompt. Congratulations on reaching level 152. You received 10 free attribute points.

He had lost two levels after dismissing his fusion with Hundun via Two Becomes One. He had lost another level after being killed by Tathagata’s duplicate. His original level of 154 had fallen to level 151. However, finishing the first stage of the Legend of Sword and Fairy plot quest had restored his level by 1.

“Divine Recovery Pill. Can it be a pill used to heal injuries?” He became excited as he looked at the two Divine Recovery Pills, and checked the two soft red-colored pills in his hands.

Divine Recovery Pill: Divine Rank Pill

When consumed by players or NPCs below Divine level, it can heal all their injuries. When consumed by players or NPCs above Divine level it only has an effect of 5%.

“Only 5%? That is so much worse than the Sacred Recovery Pill. But at least it still has some uses.”

He did not give it much thought and ate the two Divine Recovery Pills and healed 10% of his injuries. The duration of his Severely Injured status had been further reduced.

“Ling’er, Ling’er, please wake up… Do not surprise me like this…”

At this time, he could hear Li Xiaoyao’s nervous voice.

He then saw that Li Xiaoyao had Zhao Ling’er, who had fainted, in his embrace with a worried face, and Lin Yueru was also standing by the side as she kept on rubbing her hands.

Ding. System Prompt: Will you accept the second stage of the Legend of Sword and Fairy plot quest, the ‘Revive Zhao Ling’er’ quest?”

“Yes!”

Revive Zhao Ling’er: Find five Spiritual Orbs, a Phoenix Egg, and a Qilin Horn, then save Zhao Ling’er. It is said that Qilins and Phoenixes have appeared in Nuwa Temple.
