Luan Pingyuan said with a hint of a smile, "These tasks were originally handed over to the masters from the Imperial City Academy and the major cities in the Huangyun Principality because our Wuying Department couldn't spare any time. However, I happen to be free recently, so it's just right
I’ll give you a number.”
This master of the Wuying Department is a master of the Creation Realm, but he speaks very modestly.
Of course, this did not make Jing Tang, who had always been cold and serious, respond with a friendly attitude. He still said coldly: "You are just recruiting Chen Xuan, right?"
"Dean Jing, that's exactly what I mean."
Luan Pingyuan said, turning his eyes to Chen Xuan, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
Others also looked at Chen Xuan.
Obviously at this time, as long as Chen Xuan nodded, a team of five people would be formed.
Chen Xuan felt a little dumbfounded in his heart.
He didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the number of people to carry out the fallen mission would be gathered together, and the strength of the teammates was not low.
But these four teammates, in addition to Qi Luo, Jing Yu, Ji Tingsha and Luan Pingyuan, all made Chen Xuan feel a little uneasy.
In particular, Jing Tang is probably a follower of Yu Kongzhao. It is not impossible for him to take advantage of Chen Xuan and Ji Tingsha to do something while they are leaving the academy.
Of course, for Chen Xuan, Qi Luo cannot be trusted 100%.
Therefore, Chen Xuan is very worried that if he encounters a life-or-death moment during the mission, the four teammates will not be able to live and die together, which will most likely lead to mission failure.
In an extremely difficult task like this, there must never be a crisis of trust between teammates.
But if he didn't agree at this time, Chen Xuan also knew that he would not be able to find four other reliable teammates.
Or he simply gives up on the mission.
Thinking of the threat from the military masters and the powerful Gu Feiluan, the fire in Chen Xuan's heart ignited and he also made up his mind: "Okay, then the five of us will take over this task."
"You guys are the weakest among the five of us. I'm sorry that you still hesitated for so long."
Ji Tingsha couldn't help but despise Chen Xuan, then reached out and took off the task card to prevent others behind from taking over the task again.
"Get ready and set off tomorrow."
No one else had any objections to Qi Luo's proposal, so Chen Xuan returned to the library first and used the time difference between the Eight-Bud Pagoda to recover from his minor injuries.
The next day, the "Death Squad" consisting of Chen Xuan, Ji Tingsha, Jing Yu, Qi Luo, and Luan Pingyuan set off.
When the chief dean Zu Zhitang heard the news, he had no intention of stopping it at all. He only watched Chen Xuan and the others leave the academy with calm eyes from the top of the castle.
After passing through many mountains and rivers, Chen Xuan and the others flew out of the Huangyun Principality three days later and fled all the way to the east. Their destination was the famous "Leiyun River" on the fourth auxiliary star of the Tianwu Realm.
This large river that runs through the north and south has given birth to many spiritual circles and spiritual circles, and is home to powerful overseas martial arts sects.
Therefore, when Chen Xuan and the others were about to arrive at Leiyun River, they slowed down their flight speed and became cautious.
While on the road that night, the five people got into a dispute over their next plan.
"The Xuejizong, which may be related to the evil dragon clan, is located in the upper reaches of the Leiyun River. Our safest approach should be to pretend to be guests to visit the Xuejizong, enter the mountain gate of this sect, and then slowly investigate."
Luan Pingyuan said in a very steady tone, "The Xuejizong has been recruiting guest ministers for many years, so every year many martial arts cultivators go to the Xuejizong to seek a position as a guest minister. With the cultivation of the five of us, it will definitely be easy to be selected.
"
Qi Luo shook his head after hearing this: "The Xuejizong recruits guest ministers to investigate their identities and backgrounds. It would be too suspicious for the five of us to go at the same time. If our identities are exposed, it will be a waste of effort and a wasted trip."
When Luan Pingyuan heard what Qi Luo said, he immediately looked at Jing Yu: "Dean Jing, what do you think?"
"I once got a piece of gossip that there is a secret passage at the bottom of the Leiyun River that leads to the Xuejizong's forbidden area. We can enter the Xuejizong through this secret passage and investigate secretly."
As soon as Jing Yu said this, Chen Xuan and Ji Tingsha were slightly startled.
Immediately, Ji Tingsha was speechless and said: "Sir, the branch dean, your proposal is too unreliable, isn't it?
You actually made a plan based on a completely unconfirmed piece of gossip, how did you become the branch president of our Crimson Laurel Branch?"
Jing Tang glanced at Ji Tingsha coldly and didn't respond.
The last four people looked at Chen Xuan again.
"I think Master Luan's proposal is more feasible."
Chen Xuan didn't want to follow Jing Yu and take risks at the bottom of the Leiyun River.
"Then vote."
Luan Pingyuan raised one of his arms: "If you support my proposal, please raise your hands."
Chen Xuan and Ji Tingsha raised their hands at the same time.
What surprised the three of them was that Qi Luo didn't raise his hand to throw a wave at Luan Pingyuan.
Seeing the doubts of the three of them, Qi Luo immediately explained: "I think we can split up. The three of you pretend to be guest ministers and sneak into the Xuejizong. Dean Jing and I will go explore the secret passage at the bottom of the river. If there really is a secret passage under the river,
The secret passage to the forbidden area of the Blood Successor Sect, then we can coordinate the inside and the outside."
"Teacher Qi, there are many powerful beasts living at the bottom of the Leiyun River. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"
Luan Pingyuan thinks that Qi Luo is not the kind of person who likes taking risks.
Qi Luo nodded and stood with Jing Yuan, indicating that he had made up his mind.
So Chen Xuan and the other three couldn't say anything else. They rushed to the Leiyun River the next day and parted ways. The two academy masters escaped into the river without hesitation and quickly lost their breath.
Chen Xuan, Ji Tingsha and Luan Pingyuan flew upstream. Gradually they could sense multiple auras appearing nearby. They moved quickly in twos and threes. They were obviously monks from all walks of life who were preparing to visit the Xueji Sect.
After flying for a while, Chen Xuan sensed a few of the auras approaching them, and immediately became wary.
Soon, several young monks appeared in the line of sight, a total of five men and one woman. The five men were all impressive young talents. The woman in red had a delicate appearance and a pair of peach blossom eyes that contained infinite charm, which only made people fall in love with her.
You'll be enchanted by it at just one glance.
Five men gathered around this charming beauty, all of whom were obviously fascinated by her appearance.
Seeing Chen Xuan and the others, the woman flew over with a smile on her face: "Hello, fellow Taoists, I am Shu Qiong, a third-generation disciple of the Blood Successor Sect. Are you going to apply for guest positions in our sect?"
"good."
Chen Xuan did not deny it, but at the same time he was slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, before entering the mountain gate of Xuejizong, I would meet the disciples of Xuejizong.
After hearing Chen Xuan's admission, the smile on Shu Qiong's face became even brighter: "May I ask the names of these three fellow Taoists?
Why don't we go together, these five Taoist friends are also preparing to apply for the position of guest minister, and it just so happens that we can make friends together."
Seeing Shu Qiong being so enthusiastic about Chen Xuan, the five men had a look of displeasure on their faces.
Ji Tingsha was also unhappy. She felt that Shu Qiong was deliberately showing off her coquettishness.
Before the two parties formally introduced themselves, there was a faint smell of gunpowder.
