In Xiaoshan boundary, the flow of cultivators is nothing to worry about. What everyone cares about is the flow of Spiritual Valley. As for cultivators, who would care?
Wei Chengbin followed the address on the jade slip and found the door. He was a bit nervous in his heart, knowing that he should have confirmed it first, just in case someone was playing a joke on him, which would be terrible.
That's it.
Two majestic stone lions stood guard on either side of the gate, their eyes gleaming with a fierce inner light. They seemed to embody a quiet power, as if daring anyone to approach. In reality, they were cleverly crafted automatons, normally motionless but ready to strike at a moment's notice should anyone dare to lay a hand on them. The heavy black iron gates were tightly shut, with an occasional flash of forbidden energy emanating from them. He felt a slight sense of relief; in the town of Nan Sheng, only households with considerable power and influence could afford such a mansion.
He placed his palm on the copper bell pattern drawn on the door and inputted spiritual energy.
Ding Dong!
The bell rang clearly, and after a moment, the iron gate slowly opened.
A burly man with a thick beard looked him up and down, his gaze as sharp as a knife. Wei Chengbin felt a sudden tension throughout his body. Although he was a cultivator, his combat power was very low. He had managed to break through the cultivator stage thanks to an epiphany after a chaotic illusion array. He swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the big man in front of him, who exuded a fierce aura that made him feel intimidated.
"I... I am Wei Chengbin... The day before yesterday, I received a jade tablet, which said..."
After listening to Wei Chengbin's unclear words for half a day, Lei Peng was really impatient and interrupted: "Alright! That's it, no mistake."
After finishing speaking, one hand picked up Wei Chengbin and flew in like holding a small chicken.
Wei Chengbin was so scared that he closed his eyes and trembled all over. Lei Peng rolled his eyes in his heart, wondering who had come up with the idea of making him welcome these guys. These guys were timid as mice, and they trembled when they saw him.
This mansion is one of Bao Yi's secret industries, and it still has three dens, which is his consistent style.
"Here comes another one."
Lei Peng's hand slightly spat out spiritual energy, and Wei Chengbin was shocked and fainted, being thrown to the ground by him.
"Hmm, there are already eight of them. With him added, it's just one short of being able to send them off." Xie Shan said with satisfaction. This time's task, he had already over-fulfilled. According to Bao Yi's intelligence, they found three cultivators skilled in building cities, and these three people, without exception, not a single one was able to resist the temptation of 200 catties of Lingguo every month.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion, these people, if they were outside the small mountain boundary, would be treated with courtesy wherever they went. But in the small mountain boundary where lives are as cheap as grass, two hundred kilograms of spiritual rice could buy the life of a cultivator. As a fellow cultivator, Xie Shan couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
Bao Yi stood by, feeling fortunate that he had made the right choice. Although he hadn't met the boss yet, he was repeatedly shocked by the boss's strength. So far, more than sixty cultivators had been transported out.
The people who were taken away suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if they vanished into thin air.
There must be people waiting outside the city, and there are still many of them. These people are really bold and daring to do such outrageous things under the nose of the Mingxia Sect. However, being able to undermine the Mingxia Sect's foundation, he is secretly pleased.
This time your application is really well done!
He Xiang looked down at the leaders of various forces with a sense of accomplishment swelling to its peak in an instant. In the past, he would nod and bow his head to anyone present, but now he could easily capture the fear they had for him deep within their eyes.
This feeling is really great!
He quickly pulled himself back, he was very clear about his mission.
A gentle and reserved smile spread across his face, his voice was soft, as if from a high cloud: "I've kept you all waiting for a long time, so let's begin."
"Seventy people already. Isn't that enough?! How's it going? Can we stop work?" Lei Peng said impatiently, having stood guard every day, the Ming Xuan faction was really useless, not even a single reaction. At first, he thought this would be a big operation, but who knew it would be so boring and dull, now he just wanted to return to the camp."
Xie Shan ignored him and looked at the list, furrowing his brow: "What about these people who are left? Why haven't they come?"
Bao Yi heard the words and couldn't help but cry and laugh: "We use Linggu to attract them, in the end it's like doing business, it's you willing and me willing. The remaining people, I estimate they are now living a good life and don't want to move."
"So we just let them off like that?" Xie Shan was somewhat unwilling, he didn't want his first mission as a leader to leave any regrets.
"What else can we do? Are we going to tie them up and take them back?"
"Take him back!" Xie Shan's eyes lit up and he excitedly clapped his hands: "This is a great idea! How come I didn't think of it?"
Lei Peng, who was idle and worried, also showed joy on his face, nodding desperately: "Right right! Bind them all back! Not a single one will be left!"
Others snickered and exchanged glances, Zongru had no choice but to lift his eyelids, his meditation was interrupted again.
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not! We're lucky that our actions over the past few days haven't caught the attention of the Ming Xiao Sect. If we go and kidnap someone, it will definitely alert them, and that would be a huge problem!"
"Don't be afraid of him!" Lei Peng said disdainfully.
Bao Yi hastily looked at the others, seeing that they also had eager expressions on their faces. He suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes. He thought of Zong Ru, who in his impression, was always calm and composed, and he must not have agreed with this action.
Before he could even look at Zong Ru.
"Are we doing this now? Let's go, settle it and I can get back to meditation sooner."
Bao Yi suddenly felt his mind go blank.
Fifteen people, all agreed to the kidnapping action, from proposal to passage, in no more than a breath. To be able to plan such a large-scale kidnapping action under the eyelids of the powerful Mingxiang Sect, this proposal alone was enough to make everyone present except Bao Yi feel their blood boil!
It was worth coming all the way here!
Now that it's been decided, everyone quickly began to make plans. Having followed Xiaoniang for so long, they also started learning how to plan, and seemed to have become fledgling professional rioters.
Bao Yi's face turned pale as he listened to the conversation, and he decided that from now on, he would keep a safe distance from this group of lunatics. Especially Zong Ru, who he had only just realized how far off the mark he was. Zong Ru usually looked calm and collected, but whenever he spoke, a sinister and vicious idea would be casually tossed out.
You spoke a word and I responded with another, and a simple rough plan was quickly born.
Wei Chengbin came to, and found himself on someone's back. The occasional whizzing of the wind around him told him that he was flying at high speed in the sky. He didn't dare move lightly, knowing his own abilities, without making any sound. He slowly turned his head, cautiously observing his surroundings.
About thirty feet away from him, there was another cultivator who also had someone on his back.
As he looked around, he was shocked. There were over a hundred cultivators surrounding him, with twenty of them standing behind others. The rest of the cultivators had them surrounded in the middle.
Wei Chengbin just remembered what happened before he fainted.
These people, after all, are from which faction? It seems to be a major force! Although the future is unknown, he still has high expectations in his heart. Obviously, this is a very meticulous plan. More than 100 cultivators escorted them twenty people, and the degree of attention they received can be imagined. The other side spent so much effort, and what they wanted was certainly not small.
"Mind your rhythm and control your spiritual energy output."
"Maintain formation elasticity!"
"Outermost combat units, get alert!"
"Try to avoid the clouds."
……
Occasionally, the sound of curses could be heard, but what surprised Wei Chengbin was that the cultivators around him remained silent, constantly adjusting their positions.
For some reason, the group of cultivators' solemn silence at all times made Wei Chengbin feel a different kind of power!
He couldn't help but observe carefully.
The team in front of him was unlike any other he had ever seen. Over a hundred people flew, and the formation was as neat as if drawn with a ruler. The elite troops he had seen before were loose and scattered, but in comparison to this group, they seemed like a bunch of wandering heroes.
In the distance, you can occasionally see a group of three or five patrollers wandering around, which should be scouts.
The more he watched, the more shocked he was. The strength shown by this team had exceeded his imagination.
Wei Ran's nerves were highly tense, he was the leader of the third division. But before this, he had never led a team of more than thirty people. He was always worried that he would not do well, being extremely diligent and putting in great effort to cultivate himself.
This was his first mission as head of department.
Gongsun Zhi's task was not complicated - to proceed along a predetermined route and bring back twenty people to the camp. When he first heard of this task, he let out a sigh of relief, but when he saw the route, his face turned unnatural.
This route, which had drawn a large arc, was equivalent to circling around a big circle before returning to the camp. He didn't understand why Xiaoniang wanted to create such a complicated and roundabout route. What worried him most was that this route would have to pass through several forces' territories.
This means they could be attacked at any time.
But when he saw the unnatural look on the faces of other department heads, he suddenly understood. This was both a task and a test. A test of whether they had the ability to take charge as department heads.
So far, I haven't encountered any danger.
However, yesterday they encountered a few monks who hovered around them for a moment before leaving.
Weiran, with his rich combat experience, knew that he and his group were being targeted.
He maintained his combat formation all along the way.
Watching his subordinates become more and more skilled, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Indeed, actual combat is the best way to temper people. Their progress over the past few days has even surpassed their progress from the previous month.
Suddenly, a dazzling red light burst out in the sky ahead.
Wei Ran's pupils suddenly contracted, it's here!
That was a warning signal from their own scout. He forced himself to calm down, his mind racing to recall how Xiao Niang usually did things.
He raised his right hand, trying to imitate Xiaoniang's calmness, but his voice came out exceptionally cold.
"Get ready for battle!"
