The two returned to Xiaozhu Peak and came to Su Ping'an's yard.
"Junior Brother Su, what is your mission in the third round of selection?" Lu Xueyao asked curiously: "My mission in the third round of selection is to go to a mine to explore the reason for the inexplicable disappearance of my disciples in the mine."
Lu Xueyao's task seems very simple, but in fact it is not easy to complete. Since the headmaster of Amaterasu Sect and the leaders of each lineage have listed this task as one of the selection tasks for the top ten true disciples, it means that they already know the inner world of the mine.
However, they did not reveal the truth about the mysterious disappearance of the disciples, but regarded it as one of the selection tasks for the top ten true disciples.
In this way, how can this task be simple?
"Sister Lu, this is my mission, you can see for yourself." Su Pingan handed the blue post to Lu Xueyao and said.
Lu Xueyao opened the blue post handed over by Su Pingan, read the task content recorded on it, and immediately frowned slightly.
"Junior Brother Su, this mission..."
The task recorded on the blue post is to go to Tianjing City and find the Liuyu Sect undercover lurking in Tianjing City.
When Su Ping'an saw this mission, he only had four words in his mind: Fuck you.
How could it be so easy to find out the Liuyu Sect's undercover agent in Tianjing City? This kind of brain-burning spy war is what I hate the most. I chose one of the nineteen tasks at random, and I didn't know that the one I chose was this kind of task.
Has Amaterasumon found out who the undercover agent is?
Tianjing City is located at the junction of the territories of Amaterasumen and Liuyu Sect. It is one of the cities closest to the territory of Amaterasumen and Liuyu Sect. Further north of Tianjing City is Zhaoyue City where Amaterasumen lost to Liuyu Sect.
...
Three days later, the nineteen foundation-building disciples who participated in the third round of trial selection left the Amaterasu Mountains to carry out their respective selection tasks.
A flying boat passed by in the sky, and Su Pingan stood on the deck of the flying boat, looking into the distance. The mission sect selected for the third trial was not allowed to bring any younger disciples, so Su Pingan could only go to Tianjing City alone.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that he went alone, because there was another person standing next to Su Ping'an, a disciple of the Amaterasu Sect's golden elixir period.
This Jindanqi Tianzhaomen disciple is also an old acquaintance of Su Pingan, Liu Yongchang, who was arranged by Tianzhaomen to be beside Su Pingan. He is responsible for recording Su Pingan's words and deeds during the selection process, and then reporting them to the person in charge of scoring.
The head teacher and the head of each lineage.
All in all, Liu Yongchang is equivalent to a manual recorder.
Of course, Su Ping'an was unhappy with Liu Yongchang's existence, but he couldn't express his inner unhappiness, let alone offend Liu Yongchang. What if Liu Yongchang added fuel to the fire when reporting to the headmaster and the leaders of each lineage?
With one stroke of his own, he can say goodbye to his position as one of the top ten true disciples.
The headmaster and the leaders of each lineage didn’t know what they were thinking. They knew clearly that our Xiaozhufeng lineage and Wang Zhengqian’s lineage had enmity, and they sent Liu Yongchang to be their manual recorders. Isn’t this kidding me? But this Liu Yongchang is here
He has always had a good reputation within the sect, but unlike Wang Yun, I hope he is not just pretending and can handle official business.
…
Sirius City.
Tianlang City is a large city within the territory of Amaterasumen. It is close to the Tianlang Mountains and only a hundred miles away from the outer reaches of the Tianlang Mountains. Near Tianlang City, there are often demon cultivators from the Tianlang Mountains.
In order to guard against evil cultivators, there are three Amaterasumen golden elixir-level elders stationed in Tianlang City, which is the most among all the big cities within the Amaterasumen territory. Since it is not war time, Amaterasumen usually only sends one.
Two golden elixir stage elders are responsible for garrisoning the big city. If human monks want to enter the Tianlang Mountains, most of them will choose to rest in Tianlang City.
On the sentry tower of the city wall, two Amaterasu disciples looked at the Tianlang Mountains in the distance and chatted boredly.
"Senior Brother Zhou, I have made an appointment with two senior brothers to visit the outskirts of the Tianlang Mountains in five days. Will you go?" One of the Amaterasu disciples asked.
"I won't go." When Senior Brother Zhou heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "There are many demon cultivators in the Tianlang Mountains, and we only have the early stage of foundation building. If we are unlucky enough to encounter those powerful demon cultivators, our lives will be lost even if we are not careful.
There. Junior Brother Wu, I advise you to go less often."
"Senior Brother Zhou, you are too cowardly." Upon hearing this, Junior Brother Wu sneered: "The surrounding areas of the Tianlang Mountain Range are filled with monsters in the Qi Condensation Stage and the Early Foundation Establishment Stage. They are not even monster cultivators. What's so scary about them?
A few days ago, Senior Brother Wang killed a foundation-building demon fox on the outskirts of the Tianlang Mountains, peeled off its fur, and sold it for more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"
Junior Brother Wu said, his eyes full of envy. More than a thousand low-grade spirit stones are already a huge amount of wealth for ordinary disciples like them in the early stage of foundation building.
"Junior Brother Wu, you only see other people's gains, but you don't know how many monks are buried in the Tianlang Mountains every year." Senior Brother Zhou said: "I think it's best for you to stay in Tianlang City and practice peacefully.
"
"Senior Brother Zhou, you are too unambitious. You and I have mediocre qualifications to begin with. If we don't work hard to obtain cultivation resources, how far can we reach through hard work alone? I'm afraid I won't be able to even reach the late stage of foundation building in this life, let alone
I’m dreaming of entering the golden elixir stage!” Junior Brother Wu said: “The path of spiritual practice is full of dangers, how can you be afraid of unknown dangers.”
Junior Brother Wu was still about to say something, but suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked into the distance outside the city, his eyes full of fear.
"What's wrong?"
Senior Brother Zhou followed Junior Brother Wu's gaze and looked towards the distance outside the city. His face immediately changed drastically. Then, he jumped down from the sentry tower and in the blink of an eye he came to the alarm bell hanging on the tower.
Dang! Dang! Dang...
The alarm bell was sounded by Senior Brother Zhou, and it rang ten times before stopping. The ten alarm bells sounded, which represented the arrival of the highest level of danger!
On the southern horizon, I saw a thick black tide rushing towards Sirius City. But this was not a real tide, but something more frightening than a real tide.
Beast tide!
After the ten alarm bells rang, the three golden elixir stage elders in Tianlang City came to the city wall almost at the same time. Seeing the tide of beasts rushing towards Tianlang City, their faces changed dramatically.
The black beast tide was probably hundreds of thousands of people! Looking from a distance, there were all kinds of monsters and birds in the beast tide, and there were also some transformed demon cultivators mixed in among them, flying in from the air.
"What's going on? Are the demon clan going to start a war with our Amaterasumen!" One of the Jindan elders said with a look of horror on his face.
The three golden elixir stage elders of Tianlang City are headed by the city owner Yan Luofeng.
Yan Luofeng took out the summons token and reported to the sect, while arranging defense and preparing for the next battle.
However, after a stick of incense, a black tide of beasts had already rushed to the gates of Tianlang City.
