These tasks are relatively few in number, accounting for about 25% of the total number of tasks. Unlike the usual tasks, they are typically distributed across different peak periods and completed on an average basis.
Obviously, due to the special circumstances at this stage, such missions will basically be carried out at Donghua Peak.
To be more precise, this situation falls on the deacons of Donghua Peak who have not yet submitted to the government. This situation will continue until Wei Jie truly takes control of all the power in Donghua Peak.
The escort mission that Li Boyang received this time was the worst kind, as escort missions don't involve using teleportation arrays to travel.
The journey from Dongyang to the capital of Donghua Kingdom took more than a month, even with great effort.
In addition, these escort missions are most prone to accidents. If they encounter a surprise attack from a hostile sect, it's uncertain whether they can even return.
However, this kind of task is not without its advantages. At least the rewards are relatively high. Moreover, this is a team task, usually led by a Qi Refining Realm expert, and completed by fifty or sixty Acquired Realm Great Completion experts.
Li Boyang had nothing to complain about, since he had already prepared himself mentally.
While receiving his mission in the mission hall, Li Boyang discovered something interesting.
Missions of the Donghua Peak faction will only be completed within the sect or in the Donghua Kingdom. They will not be carried out in the Yunhua Kingdom or the Zhenghua Kingdom. The same applies to the other two peaks.
Also, for missions involving multiple people, it's unlikely that people from Donghua Peak will be paired with people from other peaks; people will only be transferred within a single peak.
Don't underestimate these details; they illustrate that the factional competition within the Dongyang Sect was just as fierce as that within the Fuyun Sword Sect.
Moreover, Donghua Kingdom, Zhenghua Kingdom, and Yunhua Kingdom are likely also hostile to each other, just like the Fuyun Sword Sect.
If we think about it further, since both the Dongyang Sect and the Fuyun Sword Sect are affiliated sects of the Six Yang Sect, it's not hard to conclude that this competitive atmosphere is being created from the very top down.
Li Boyang did this because he was reminded of the stories of Emperor Sui, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Yan.
After receiving his mission, Li Boyang left the mission hall and headed to the Scripture Pavilion.
While there's still some time, learning more about Donghua Middle School will be helpful for the mission. To read the latest chapters, please follow our WeChat account: rdww444

Chapter 65 Arrival in Donghua Kingdom
My footsteps crunched on the yellow sand, making a constant crunching sound.
Looking around, there was nothing but yellow in the world.
The blazing sun high in the sky distorted even the view.
A long-awaited strong wind blew in, but unfortunately, the wind was also hot.
This is a desert, the only way to reach Liyang, the capital of the Donghua Kingdom.
At this moment, a caravan of about sixty or seventy camels appeared in the desert, with one person sitting on each camel.
The air temperature was as high as 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, yet these people walking in the desert did not shed a single drop of sweat, showing that they were no ordinary people.
If you look closely, you'll find that although it looks like one group of people, it can actually be divided into two groups.
A young man, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with sharp, angular features and a fair complexion, sat on a camel and would take a sip from the wine jug hanging from the camel's waist every now and then.
Judging by his bearing, he can be described as heroic and dashing. His name is Zuoqiu Leshan, an inner disciple of the Dongyang Sect and the deputy leader of this escort mission. To become an inner disciple, the minimum requirement is to be at the Qi Refining Realm.
Behind him followed five or six people, all of whom looked at Zuoqiu Leshan's back with fawning eyes.
Behind this group were forty or fifty people, led by a man in his fifties or sixties, whose weathered face bore the marks of hardship, yet showed unwavering resolve as he walked wearily through the desert.
His name is Zhou Tong, an outer sect steward of the Dongyang Sect, and also the leader of this team. Becoming a steward means that he has at least entered the Qi Refining Realm.
Among the forty-odd people behind Zhou Tong, Li Boyang was clearly visible. He was hanging at the very back of the group, occasionally picking up the water bottle hanging from the camel's waist, gazing at the boundless desert.
The two groups traveled silently through the desert, less than ten meters apart, yet clearly separated, giving the impression of never interacting with each other again.
These people were disciples of the Dongyang Sect who were on an escort mission to the Donghua Kingdom.
The reason for such a clear distinction is simple: Zuoqiu Leshan was the first inner disciple to submit to Wei Jie's wing, while those behind him were those he had already recognized and who had also submitted to Wei Jie's faction.
The remaining people, including Li Boyang, were all directly under Zhou Tong's command.
Zuoqiu Leshan, who was walking at the front of the group, said, "Zhao Wu, go scout ahead and see how long it will take to get out of this desert."
Unlike the generally low spirits of the outer disciples, Zuoqiu Leshan was clearly in a good mood.
In the eyes of outer disciples, this kind of escort mission is a tough job, taking a long time and involving too many unexpected factors, making it one of the worst sect missions.
However, it was different in the eyes of the inner disciples. Escort missions were among the most sought-after missions, for one simple reason: the rewards were very high.
Different realms lead to different perspectives and different social circles. Inner disciples who have reached the Qi Refining Realm only need to complete a task every six months.
In other words, inner disciples only need to complete two tasks assigned by the sect each year, and can cultivate on their own the rest of the time. For this reason, tasks with high returns are the first choice.
After Zuoqiu Leshan finished speaking, the man named Zhao Wu looked at Zhou Tong, and only after seeing the other party nod did he urge the camel to speed up the journey.
Li Boyang had seen this scene many times along the way and was already used to it; this was just one aspect of the struggle during the transfer of power.
Before setting off, only Zuoqiu Leshan represented Wei Jie's faction. Ten days later, following behind Zuoqiu Leshan were the old faction members who could no longer hold on.
Li Boyang smiled as he took out five one-ounce yuan stones from his pocket. These yuan stones were received before the trip, a private subsidy from Zhou Tong.
Don't think that five Yuan Stones is a small amount. You should know that this mission only rewards 10 Yuan Stones, and the sect subsidy for a month is only 3 Yuan Stones.
Li Boyang accepted it readily. The moment he refused Wei Jie, he was implicitly considered to be part of the old faction of Donghua Peak.
