Taoyuan Mountains.

This place is a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy. Immortal mountains surround it, stretching and undulating endlessly.

On Mount Zhuque.

In a courtyard, Chen Ning cracked open the room's door a sliver and quietly observed the scene in the courtyard.

More than ten figures stood at the entrance of the courtyard.

Every man who enters, his breath is fierce and terrifying.

He was taciturn, guarding the courtyard.

They are very strong.

Slap!

The door slammed shut.

Wow, this bodyguard lineup is pretty impressive...

More than ten masters were guarding outside the door. It was unlikely that a mere mortal like himself could escape.

Chen Ning sat down with lingering fear.

Memories flash through my mind from time to time.

Time travel has already become mainstream, Chen Ning can still handle it.

But the original guy...

What a terrible situation!

Not only did he take over as the headmaster under dire circumstances, but he was also assassinated on his first day in office.

This is how Chen Ning ended up traveling through time.

But the crisis did not end.

When Chen Ning fused with her original memory, she was utterly shocked.

Taking over this school, his background is no small matter.

It is the number one cultivation sect in the Nine Provinces.

Seeking the Dragon Gate.

But what surprised Chen Ning was not the sect's lofty status, but the series of messages passed down by the former Sect Master to Yuan!

Every message is explosive.

While the sect appears flourishing, in reality all its members are undercover.

"Grand Elder Cang Yue is an undercover agent sent by the Imperial Court to monitor our sect."

Elder Two had been a saint of Heaven Pool Holy Land since his youth, lurking within the sect as an undercover agent, always prepared to cooperate with Heaven Pool Holy Land's plans.

The headmaster of the Law Enforcement Hall is a demon race spy, and about the various affairs of the sect, he has already transmitted millions of reports.

The top martial artist of the school is a woman, a single nail hammered into the heart of the school. She covets the position of headmaster and is always ready to seize it, revitalizing her clan.

Even my own guards, descendants of the God of Thieves, obey the God of Thieves' orders and greedily covet the sect's treasures. Their ambitions are boundless!

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The old headmaster investigated for a long time before finding out the undercover members within the sect one by one.

Only Chen Ning knows this.

It was precisely for this reason that the old master had to pass on the position of master to Yuan, who was the cleanest among them all.

According to the old master, most of these factions' undercover agents are here for a treasure hidden within the Seeking Dragon Gate.

It is rumored that this treasure was bestowed with the blessings of heaven and earth.

Reverse the heavens and earth, change life and death, break the cycle.

The power the treasure possesses is too overwhelming.

...to the extent that countless contemporary masters flocked to it.

Chen Ning's memory read up to this point, and he was still very happy.

You're right, going out could save yourself, couldn't it?

But the situation went in the opposite direction, plunging into an abyss.

Before the old headmaster passed away, he only faintly said:

All that are just lies made up by the heads of each generation of the Seeking Dragon Gate to deceive people……

There isn't anything valuable here.

Some are just the ambition of generation after generation to seek out the Dragon Gate, constantly striving for self-improvement.

>Who knew that after hundreds or thousands of years of fermentation, lies would become legends.

For the sake of ...

Of course, Chen Ning could guess what would happen next.

It's estimated that some undercover agent wants to know the whereabouts of the treasure from the original source.

After his plan failed, he angrily murdered the original person.

But that man was too clever.

...to the point where there wasn't even a trace of it in his original memory.

"Alas..."

"Straight out of the gate, it's hell mode!"

If I run, I can't escape. What should I do?

"Ding!"

"Best sect leader system bound skill!"

"System loading..."

Huh?

Chen Ning was first slightly taken aback, then followed by uncontrollable joy.

Look! Look!

Here you go! The plug-in is ready.

"Charge!"

Immediately, a virtual character panel appeared before Chen Ning's eyes.

Host: Chen Ning

Status: None

Title: Newbie Head (For Newcomers Only)

Title Effect: Increases the chance of persuading others by fifty percent, and being persuaded. (Note: Although newly appointed, one must also have extraordinary eloquence to unify the sect.)

Chen Ning: "???"

Wow, I didn't realize how weak I was until I checked my stats.

It's hard to believe that even a system-granted title only works when you boast about it?

Big brother!

This is a world of cultivation!

Can you bring some action, please? Don't just write prose.

At this time, the system's complete introduction also sounded timely.

"Ding! This system aims to help the host become the best sect master, and will irregularly and randomly issue tasks related to sect members. Completing tasks will earn you generous rewards."

"Ding! A random beginner task is issued, do you accept it?"

"Got it!"

Chen Ning was full of fighting spirit at this moment. In this desperate situation, the system appeared, and he had to seize this opportunity to become stronger in order to overcome his current predicament.

Good heavens, what a predicament we are in! We're surrounded on all sides.

Everyone is evil.

"Task acquired!"

Ding! Congratulations on receiving the novice task [Night Watch].

"Mission description: Find Su Ling'er and guard outside her room for a night. Consider this mission complete."

Deadline: one day

Mission failure penalty: instant obliteration on the spot, soul and body destroyed.

Chen Ning listened to the task description, his face turning a little bitter.

This task doesn't sound too difficult.

But doesn't this system have any intelligence?

Can it not detect the background of the personnel?

Su Ling'er was his guard.

A little girl.

Looks weak.

>This is just for protection.

But the truth is, he's a descendant of the God Thief.

This is very dangerous.

Besides, it is still unknown who killed Yuan.

What if it was the murderer?

Then why run over there to do the task?

Isn't that putting oneself in the mouth of a tiger?

After a period of inner struggle, Chen Ning finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Here goes nothing!"

If you don't complete the task, Chen Ning will also end up dead.

Why not take a chance?

After tidying her collar, Chen Ning stood up, her expression calm and composed.

More than ten figures at the entrance of the courtyard immediately realized it.

They are all the headmaster's guards.

Although protecting this green, inexperienced sect leader is something I'm reluctant to do.

But the responsibility lies here.

Still, respectfully asked: "Master, what orders do you have?"

"Bring Su Ling'er over here."

Chen Ning lowered her eyes and gave a faint command.
