In a red forest full of twisted and strange trees, there were five young men and women, silently confronting each other several feet apart in a secret place in the forest.
A man in his thirties, dressed in brocade robes, with snow-white eyebrows and eyes like lightning.
A young woman in a black dress, with a slender figure, black eyebrows and a sinister face.
A young man in purple robe, about 12 or 27 years old, with a bloody mole on his mouth, handsome and gentle, with a smile.
A woman in white robe, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pretty face and a bit of childishness.
The last man, twenty-three or four, was wearing a green robe and had an expressionless face. He was clearly Han Li, who had left Tianyuan City not long ago.
These five people all look so young, but their cultivation levels are all above the divine transformation stage, and except for Han Li and the youngest woman in white robes, who are in the middle stage, the other three are all in the late stages of divine transformation.
However, the young woman in black dress among them was the woman surnamed Xiao from the Black Phoenix tribe that Han Li had appeared after the beast wave.
This woman looked at Han Li with a cold expression. Although she said nothing, there was a look of surprise in her eyes.
"I really didn't expect that two of the three monks sent by your human race this time were only at the middle level. Do the nobles want to deliberately push back this action?" The man in brocade robes with snow-white eyes said coldly.
Although the sound was not loud, it was buzzing in the ears of everyone present.
Hearing the words of the young man with white eyebrows, the young man with blood mole moved his brows slightly and the smile on his face faded a bit. However, Han Li did not blink his eyelids and just lowered his head to play with a milky white jade slip.
As for the girl in white robe, her black eyes rolled around and she just smiled.
None of the three of them had an interface.
Seeing Han Li and the other three behaving like this, the white-browed man was furious and a stern expression flashed on his face. When he was about to say something else, the young woman named Xiao suddenly spoke:
"This trip may be related to Tianyuan City, and even the safety of you and our clan. If we don't cooperate sincerely, let alone complete the mission, whether we can reach the place where the mission is carried out is a matter of two people. Don't forget, we are just on the road.
It will take half a year. Since the nobles sent three Taoist friends here, I think all three of them are extraordinary people. But we will be together for such a long time in the future, so we should introduce each other to each other. I am Xiaohong, from Heifeng
clan, this is Fellow Daoist Li from the Xuanying clan."
This young woman looks neither humble nor overbearing.
Hearing this, the young man with the blood mole moved his eyes and spoke softly with a smile:
"I'm in Longdong. Seeing that the fairy has the power of extreme fire, she must have cultivated the Black Phoenix Clan's natal flame to an extremely high level."
"Your Excellency is from the Long family!" When the young woman heard the young man's name, her expression changed slightly.
"I didn't expect the fairy to know about my Long family." The young man with the blood mole opened his mouth, revealing a pair of shining white teeth, and said with a smile.
"My name is Ye Ying." The girl in white robe said with a smile, her voice as clear as an oriole.
"Han Li!" Han Li said two words lightly and immediately shut up.
"Han Li? It's really you. No wonder you actually had a rare treasure like the Immortal Destroyer Pearl in your hands that day. You were indeed a high-level monk. So, what you have cultivated is dual cultivation of law and body." Xiao Hong faced
Han Li's voice turned cold.
Upon hearing the words of Dharma Body Dual Cultivation, the young man surnamed Long and the young man with white eyebrows were both surprised, while the girl in white robe was also startled.
"You're a dual practitioner of body and law, so let's forget it. I haven't seen you for many years, how is Dai'er doing now?" Han Li didn't express any emotion, and just asked indifferently.
"It was a wise move for Dai'er to follow me back then. Now she is practicing extremely fast and has already condensed the golden elixir. Even if she catches up with you and me, it will only be a matter of time." Hearing Dai'er's name,
The young woman was silent for a moment before replying coldly.
"Really? Since everything is fine, Han is relieved." Han Li sighed softly.
"What, does Sister Xiao recognize Brother Han?" The girl named Ye Ying glanced at Han Li and asked with a smile.
"Know? Hehe! It's an old acquaintance, right?" The young woman sneered.
At this time, the young man with the blood mole also glanced here, seemingly looking at Han Li and Xiao Hong, but his eyes paused for a moment on the girl, and then immediately moved away as if unintentionally.
A trace of greed flashed deep in this man's pupils, but no one noticed it.
"Although this place has not yet entered the depths of the wild world, the fact that all of you can come here alone to meet up also shows that the magical powers of several Taoist friends are not weak. But the journey below is not as easy as the previous one. I and the five of us
If we don't join forces, it may be difficult to reach the Black Leaf Forest safely. The dangers encountered along the way are many times more terrifying than before." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hong warned.
As soon as they heard the words Black Stone Forest, the expressions of the other four people changed, and they all became a little moved.
"Is this mission really just to investigate the movements of the Wood Spirit Tribe and retrieve the intelligence data we collected during our early years when we sent undercover agents to this tribe? It doesn't sound like it's too difficult." The girl asked with a smile.
"It's hard to say. Whether it's difficult or not depends on our luck. If everything goes well, it may be much easier than other tasks, but if we run into trouble, we will even be discovered by wood spirits above the Silver level in the Wood Clan. I'll wait.
Even if everyone dies, it is normal. But this mission is indeed of great importance to our two clans, and we must take this risk." The young man with the blood mole sighed and murmured.
"Since it is so important, why would the higher ups send those of us who are at the God Transformation level here? It would be much less safe to directly call a Void Refining level being." The white-browed young man frowned and asked with some suspicion.
"Hey, listening to your question, it seems that the person responsible for the action of the nobles should be Fairy Xiao." The young man surnamed Long did not directly reply to the question. Instead, he looked at the young woman in black dress with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
"Since Brother Long knows these things, it seems that the human race should take your Excellency as the leader." The young woman did not show any surprise at all and said calmly.
"Yes, I do know a lot more." The mole on the corner of Long Dong's mouth moved, but he did not deny the matter.
When the girl named Ye heard this, she curled her lips, but then she remembered something and turned to look at Han Li.
Han Li's face was expressionless, as if he had not heard the conversation between the young man with the blood mole and the young woman. This made the girl look a little surprised.
"We are the only monks who have been sent here this time, because the Black Stone Forest has been shrouded by Tianmu Mengluo from the Wood Spirit Tribe. As soon as a being above the level of God Transformation enters there, his whereabouts will be exposed immediately," Xiao Hong said.
But he turned his head and explained to the young man with white eyebrows.
"I see. But forget it, Fellow Daoist Long. These two are only in the middle stage of becoming gods. Aren't their cultivations a bit worse?" The white-browed young man nodded, but suddenly looked at Han Li and Ye Ying with slightly narrowed eyes.
The two said politely.
"Brother Li, don't worry. The elders will send fellow Taoist Han and Miss Ye to come together. Naturally, they are very relieved and will not let you down. I can guarantee this." Long Dong said.
Ha ha.
"Since Taoist Fellows have promised so, then forget it. But if they are really a drag on the rest of the trip, don't blame me for not saving them." The white-browed young man said grimly.
"Hmph, your Excellency is only one level higher than me. You are talking as if you are a cultivator of void cultivation." The white-browed young man's repeated contemptuous expressions finally made the white-robed girl's face sink.
"When your cultivation has reached the level like us, there is a difference in realm, but the difference in magical power is not even a little bit different." The white-browed young man sneered and replied proudly.
The girl in white robe was slightly angry and was about to say something else, but Han Li interrupted at this moment.
"Since Fellow Daoist Long and Fairy Xiao know more about the mission than I do, let's introduce the details to us first. When Han took over the mission, he only had a rough idea, but he didn't expect that multiple people would need to join forces. I would have known better.
So, there are ten people out there who will not accept this mission." Han Li said expressionlessly, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
When he learned in Tianyuan City that this task required multiple people to complete, he felt that it was not very simple. At that time, he did have some thoughts about quitting. However, he was told by his superiors that this task was of great importance. Since he took over this task, he knew that the task was about
According to the situation, once you withdraw, you will lose the qualification to accept other tasks, and you must not leave Tianyuan City within ten years.
As a result, he had other important matters in mind and had to leave Tianyuan City within a few years, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here.
As a result, it took him a long time to reach this so-called meeting place. After seeing not other ascended monks, but local monks and people from the demon clan in the spirit world, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
It seems that the complexity and danger of this mission are even greater than previously expected.
Didn't Zhao Wugui and others say that these tasks are usually only accepted by their ascended monks? Could it be that they accidentally took the wrong task?
However, before setting off, he had indeed been provided with enough Dust Extinguishing Pills, and was promised that he would be able to escape from Tianyuan City after completing this task. This was exactly the same as what Zhao Wugui and others said.
Han Li was naturally a little surprised by this.
"I will naturally explain the details of the mission to Brother Han and Miss Ye on the way. The time for this mission has not been very generous, so I'll talk about it later when we get on the road first." Long Dong said with a slight smile.
"Brother Long is right. We are really pressed for time. It's better to leave first. I can also publish some relevant information on the road." Xiao Hong also agreed.
After hearing this, the white-browed young man and Ye Ying had no intention of objecting.
Han Li pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Okay, I do have time to ask slowly on the way."
"In this case, for the sake of caution, you should take the Lingyun Boat. Firstly, you don't have to spend any mana, just some spiritual stones. Secondly, this boat is good at changing and concealing, and I can also reduce a lot of energy on the road.
It’s troublesome.” The young man with the blood mole suggested again in a pleasant manner, seeming to be extremely enthusiastic.
