Chapter 1358 – Mission
In a reddish forest full of twisted and strange trees, there were five young men and women, each separated by a few feet in a hidden place in the forest, silently confronting each other without saying a word.
A man in his thirties, dressed in a brocade robe, with snow-white eyebrows and eyes like lightning.
A black dress young woman, slender figure, eyebrows into the temples, face with fierce.
A twenty-seven or eighty-eight year old purple-robed youth, with a bloody mole on his mouth, handsome and gentle, with a smile on his face.
A white-robed woman, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face, slightly childish.
The last one, a twenty-three or twenty-four year old man, wearing a green robe with an expressionless face, was clearly Han Li, who had not long left Tian Yuan City.
These five people all looked so young, but their cultivation levels were all above the God Transformation Stage, and in addition to Han Li and the youngest white-robed woman who was in the middle stage, the remaining three were all in the late God Transformation stage.
However, the black-skirted young woman among them was the woman with the surname Shin of the Black Phoenix Clan that Han Li had seen after the beast tide back then.
This woman’s face was grim as she looked toward Han Li, and although she didn’t say a word, there was naturally a look of astonishment in her eyes.
”I really didn’t expect that of the three cultivators your Human Race sent out this time, two of them were only at mid-stage cultivation. Could it be that your clan wants to intentionally shove this operation?” The brocade-robed man with snow-white eyes spoke in a clear and cold voice. Although his voice was not loud, it buzzed in the ears of everyone present.
Hearing the white-browed youth’s words, the blood mole youth’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and the smile on his face converged for a few moments, while Han Li didn’t blink his eyelids, only lowering his head to play with a milky-white jade slip.
As for the white-robed girl, the black eye drops a turn, just smile.
Three people actually who did not interface.
Seeing Han Li and the other three behave like this, the white-browed man was furious in his heart, his face flashed sternly, and when he was about to say something else, the young woman with the surname of Shin suddenly opened her mouth as well: ”This trip may have a bearing on the safety and security of Tian Yuan City, and even you and I and our two clans. If we don’t cooperate in good faith, not to mention completing the mission, whether we can reach the mission execution site is a matter of two words. Don’t forget that it will take half a year just to catch the road. Since your clan has sent three fellow Daoists, I think all three of you are extraordinary people. But since we will be traveling together for such a long time in the future, we should introduce ourselves to each other. My name is Shinhong, from the Black Phoenix Clan, and this is Daoyou Li from the Xuan Hawk Clan.”
This young woman had an unassuming look.
Hearing this, the blood mole youth, under a movement of his eyes, spoke with a soft smile, “My name is Long Dong, seeing that the fairy is covered in the power of extreme fire, I think that she must have already cultivated the Black Phoenix Clan’s Essential Flame to an extremely high realm.”
”Your Excellency is a member of the Long family!” The young woman heard the youth’s name, but her face changed slightly.
”I didn’t expect that Fairy would also know about my Long Family.” The blood mole youth opened his mouth to reveal a set of snow-white shining teeth and said with a smile.
”My name is Ye Ying.” The white-robed girl said with a smile, her voice oriole-like and crisp.
”Han Li!” Han Li spat out two words indifferently and immediately shut up.
”Han Li? It really is you. No wonder on that day, Your Excellency had such an exotic treasure as the Heavenly Immortal Pearl in your hands, you really were originally a high-level cultivator. In that case, the technique you cultivate is Dual Cultivation of Dharma Body.” Shinhong faced Han Li, but her voice turned cold.
Upon hearing the words Dharma Body Dual Cultivation, both the youth with the Long surname and the white-browed youth were taken aback, while the white-robed girl was also stunned.
”You say that Dharma Body Dual Cultivation, even if it is. I haven’t seen you for many years, how is Dai’er now.” Han Li didn’t have a different color, and only asked a faint rhetorical question.
”It was only wise for Dai’er to follow me back then. Nowadays, her cultivation speed is strangely fast, and she has already condensed her Jindan long ago, so it’s just a matter of time before she catches up to you and me.” Hearing Dai’er’s name, the young woman was silent for a moment before she indifferently returned.
”Really, since it’s fine. Mister Han is relieved.” Han sighed lightly.
”What, does Sister Shin recognize Brother Han?” The young girl named Ye Ying asked with a smile after her gaze swept over Han Li and the two of them.
”Recognize? Heh heh! It’s also considered an old acquaintance!” The young woman sneered.
At this time, the blood mole youth also glanced this way, seemingly looking at Han Li and Shinhong, but his gaze gave a slight lurch at the young woman’s body before immediately moving away as if he had no intention of doing so.
The hint of greed that flashed through the depths of this person’s pupils went unnoticed by anyone.
”Although this place has yet to enter the depths of the Savage World, the fact that all of you were able to come here alone to rendezvous also shows that the aptitude of a few fellow Daoists is not weak. But the next journey is not as easy as the previous one, I’m afraid that if the five of us don’t join forces, it will be difficult for us to arrive at the Black Leaf Forest peacefully. The dangers encountered along the way are far more terrifying than earlier.” After slightly pondering for a moment, Shinhong warned.
Upon hearing words such as Blackleaf Forest, the remaining four people’s complexions changed, and they were all somewhat moved.
”This mission, is it really just a matter of scouting the Wood Spirit Clan’s movements and retrieving the intelligence information that we sent undercover in this clan to collect in the early years? Sounds like it’s not too difficult.” The young girl asked with a smile.
”This is not easy to say. Whether it’s difficult or not will also depend on our luck. If everything goes well, it might really be much simpler than other missions, but if we run into trouble, or even if we are discovered by a wood spirit of the Silver rank or above in the Wood Clan, it would be usual for all of us to fall. But this mission is indeed important to my two clans, this risk must be taken.” The blood mole youth, however, sighed and muttered.
”Since it’s so important, why did the above bother sending us at the God Transformation level here, it’s much more unstable to directly call a Void Refining level existence to go.” The white-browed youth asked with some skepticism after frowning.
”Hehehe, hearing this question from Your Excellency, it seems that the person in charge of the operation of your clan should be Immortal Shin.” The youth surnamed Long didn’t directly return the question asked, instead, he looked at the black-skirted young woman with an expression that seemed like a smile.
”Since Brother Long knows these things, it seems that the human side should also be headed by Your Excellency.” Without the slightest hint of surprise, the young woman calmly said.
”Not bad, I do know some more things.” The blood mole at the corner of Long Dong’s mouth moved and did not deny the matter.
When the Ye maiden heard this, the corner of her mouth skimmed, but then she remembered something and turned her head to glance at Han Li again.
Han Li, however, was expressionless, as if he hadn’t even heard the conversation between the blood mole youth and the young woman, which caused a hint of surprise to appear on the young woman’s face.
”This time, we were only sent as God Transformation cultivators because the Blackleaf Forest is already under the shroud of the Heavenly Wood Monroe in the Wood Spirit Clan. The moment an existence above the Transformation Spirit level enters there, it will immediately reveal its movements.” Shinhong, however, turned her head to explain to the white-browed youth.
”So that’s how it is, but even so for Daoist Long, these two are only in the middle stage of God Transformation cultivation, wouldn’t their cultivation be inferior.” The white-browed youth nodded, but suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the duo of Han Li and Ye Ying and said nonchalantly.
”Brother Li, feel free to rest assured. The elders would send Fellow Daoist Han and Miss Ye over together, so naturally they’re extremely relieved for the two of them and won’t let you two down. This is something that I can vouch for.” Long Dong snorted.
”Since Fellow Daoist is so assured, then it’s all right. But if they are really a drag in the latter part of the trip, then I will not blame me for seeing death.” The white-browed youth said grimly.
”Hmph, Your Excellency is only one realm higher than me, speaking as if you are a Refined Void cultivator.” The white-browed youth’s contemptuous look three times finally caused the white-robed girl’s delicate face to sink.
”Cultivation to such a point as ours, the difference in realm is one layer, the difference in divine ability can be not a point and a half anymore.” The white-browed youth laughed coldly and returned arrogantly.
The white-robed young lady was slightly enraged in her heart, and when she wanted to say something else, Han Li interjected at that moment.
”Since Fellow Daoist Long and Fairy Shin know more about the mission than we do, it’s better to give us the details first. When Han took on the mission, he only knew a general idea and didn’t realize that it would require multiple people to join forces. Had I known this, in all likelihood, I wouldn’t have taken this mission.” Han Li said with an expressionless face, but in his heart, there were really a few points of unhappiness.
When he learned that this mission required multiple people to complete in Heaven’s Abyss City, he vaguely felt that it wasn’t too simple, and he did have a few thoughts of quitting at the time. But was told by the top of this task is important, since the task, know the task about the situation, once quit will lose the qualification to receive other tasks, but also must not leave the Heavenly Abyss City within ten years.
In this case, he had other important matters in mind and had to leave Heavenly Abyss City within a few years, so he had to go here.
As a result, he spent months of time to this so-called rendezvous place, saw not other ascending cultivators, but the spirit world native cultivators and demon people, the heart can only laugh bitterly.
It seems that the complexity and danger of this mission seems to exceed its previous expectations ah.
Didn’t Zhao Wugui and the others say that these missions were generally only taken by their ascended cultivators, could it be that they had accidentally taken the wrong mission?
But before he set off, he had indeed been allocated enough Dust Extinguishing Dan, and was also promised that if he completed this mission, he could leave Heavenly Abyss City. This point is exactly the same as what Zhao Wugui and the others said.
Han Li was naturally a bit skeptical about this.
”Regarding the details of the mission, I will naturally tell Brother Han and Miss Ye on the way. The time for this mission is not generous, so it’s better for us to get on the road first.” Long Dong smiled faintly, but said so.
”Brother Long has a point, we are indeed a bit short on time, it’s good to move first, and I can also announce some relevant information on the way.” Shin Hong also agreed.
The white-browed youth and Ye Ying duo heard this and did not object.
Han Li pondered for a moment and slowly nodded as well.
”Alright, there will indeed be time to slowly inquire on the way.”
”Since this is the case, for the sake of caution, you all should take my Spirit Cloud Boat. For one thing, you all don’t need to spend any mana, just some spirit stones, and secondly, this boat specializes in change and concealment, so I can also reduce a lot of trouble on the way.” The blood mole youth proposed again in a pleasant manner, seeming to be unusually enthusiastic.
