Chapter 484 Mission Completed
"Drive away the beasts around the mines, purchase the spirit of the Queen Demon Spider, recruit guards to explore the secret realm, guide the practice of fellow apprentices..." After scanning the tasks one by one, Lin Changqiang turned his head and looked to the side, "Is there anyone interested?"
"It's all fine. It's up to you, Brother Lin."
Feeling the surprised or curious looks from those around her, although a little uncomfortable, Ling Qingzhu still nodded in a friendly manner to the disciples of Huangdian.
Fortunately, Lin Changqiang also saw through her thoughts. After picking a task that was not difficult, he took her out of the mission hall.
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, noisy cheering and discussions sounded behind him, forcing Lin Changqiang to smile awkwardly at Ling Qingzhu. Of course, he was undoubtedly still secretly happy in his heart.
"Not long ago, a thief who had reached the Great Perfection of Shengxuan Realm attacked our Dao Sect's base. A senior brother who had reached the Perfection of Shengxuan Realm was tasked with hunting him down but has not returned yet. Our mission is to rescue this senior brother named Zhou Haojun."
On the flying boat, Lin Changqiang explained the mission while observing the jade slip in his hand.
The brightness of the jade slip corresponds to the condition of that senior brother. Now that the jade slip is dim, it means that he is seriously injured, but fortunately it is not broken.
Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Seeing this, Lin Changqiang said no more and just silently increased the speed of the flying boat to the maximum.
Human life is at stake. It’s never too late to deal with other things after you come back.
Following the direction indicated by the jade slip, the huge flying boat continued to move forward in the sky, leaving a streak of red and black light. Its swift speed amazed countless people who saw it.
The speed is up to ten times faster than that of the user, and becomes more terrifying in the later stages. If the flying boat's hardness was not only equivalent to that of a heavenly-grade spiritual treasure, Lin Changqiang would even want to use it as a flying sword in battle.
A few hours later, the originally dim jade slip suddenly began to flicker, indicating that the two were about to meet their target. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Changqiang put away the flying boat in advance and looked into the distance with Ling Qingzhu.
It was a continuous range of mountains, with undulating peaks and ridges like a lying dragon. There were few trees in the mountains, and the rocks were rugged and mostly yellowish-brown in color. The location indicated by the jade slip was among these mountains.
Without saying a word, Lin Changqiang directly spread out his mental power. The mental power that had reached the Fu Zong realm was so powerful that it instantly covered the entire vast mountain range. His concentration and seriousness made Ling Qingzhu on the side look at him sideways.
Not long ago, among the mountains, a dozen figures were anxiously conducting a thorough search.
They were originally a team, consisting of two Xiantalisman Masters of the Hinayana realm and eleven Shengxuan realm masters. Every time they were on an operation outside, only one of them would appear in public and under a different banner. In this way, whenever any enemies came, they would be attacked by the thirteen together. In the end, they would also divide the spoils together.
Over time, this speed of making money and continuous success made everyone more and more complacent. Some time ago, they even plundered a Dao Sect stronghold. Dao Sect did as expected and only sent a Shengxuan Realm Perfection to capture them. It was a piece of cake. But just as the group of people rushed out from the darkness triumphantly and beat the righteous Dao Sect disciple seriously in a few moves, thinking that they could open business again, the guy pretended to self-destruct, and the extreme white light filled his eyes.
In a hurry, everyone subconsciously tried to dodge or resist, but then they found that no one was injured. The seemingly violent "self-explosion" had no effect other than the exaggerated noise.
He looks carefree but is actually so cunning!
Seeing him fleeing like a meteor, the crowd, fearing that he would go to Dao Sect to call for help, finally panicked and chased him desperately. However, when they reached the mountains, the other party disappeared without a trace...
"Brother, I suggest you just retreat. I'm afraid that guy is no longer here."
"That's right, big brother. If we don't evacuate now and the Dao Sect's support arrives, we really won't be able to escape."
As the retreat was mentioned, the twelve people, who had been panicking for a long time, all looked at their eldest brother, the leader of the team - Hechi.
Hedge would naturally not ignore what others could think of, and he had been upset for a long time.
What the brothers said makes sense. The Dao Sect disciples might have some means of delivering messages. But if we leave now, Dao Sect will definitely send more powerful pursuers after knowing that there are thirteen of us. There may be more than a dozen strong men who have reached the perfection of the Shengxuan realm or even the Sixuan realm!
“Those who have reached the minor stage of the Shengxuan realm will work with the Talisman Master to block the mountain range, and those who have reached the major stage of the Shengxuan realm will work with me to bombard this entire area. If we succeed in forcing the Dao Sect’s disciples out, we will work together to kill them. If we fail to force them out, we will simply retreat!”
After the sharp voice sounded, the other twelve people finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then the eight Shengxuan realm minor masters and two talisman masters flew directly to the surroundings. The two Shengxuan realm major masters, after looking at Heqi, began to indiscriminately bombard the mountains below.
Brilliant beams of light and dazzling balls of light fell from the sky, landing on the mountains one after another, turning the entire mountain range from yellow-brown to colorful.
The deafening roar was like rolling thunder. For a moment, rocks were flying everywhere and smoke and dust were everywhere. In the bare mountains, the few monsters that were already there suffered instantly. They tried their best to escape to the periphery, but under such intensive bombardment, not to mention living things, even the mountains and the earth could not escape its clutches. In the end, they could only let out desperate wails and lost their lives in the endless explosions.
Above the mountains, the three men who were bombing continuously were concentrating fully. Outside the mountains, the ten men on guard were extremely nervous. And deep underground in the mountains, a simple-looking man was shivering with his teeth clenched. Although the explosion above sounded some distance away and his injuries were still far from recovered, he quickly stopped his resting state and continued to dig downwards.
In this terrifying process of digging the hole, not long after, the explosion above suddenly subsided. He immediately stopped his actions, sealed most of his energy again, and entered a state of hibernation.
He opened his eyes wide and remained alert at all times. Although there was still no movement after waiting for a while, he did not dare to relax, fearing that those people were trying to trick him out. However, the next second, a space vortex suddenly appeared in front of him, and a big hand stretched out from it, pulling him out without even giving him time to react.
"You must be Senior Brother Zhou Haojun, right? I have been assigned a mission to rescue your Lin Changqiang."
Although he was seriously injured and they were clearly strangers, when Zhou Haojun saw Lin Changqiang's familiar face and a dozen figures stumbling around at his feet, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
