Chapter 197: The Second Group Mission Begins
At this time, within the Ghost King Sect.
After a period of rapid travel, the Ghost King finally returned to the headquarters of the Ghost King Sect while controlling the Fulong Cauldron.
Sensing his current condition, his expression became extremely unsightly.
This time, he had suffered grievous injuries. If not for possessing the Asura divine ability, the Undying Body, he would have long since been killed by Lu Xueqi.
He had originally believed that with his strength, he would at least be able to contend against Lu Xueqi, perhaps even defeat her in battle.
Yet he had never expected that after a single fight, his strength would still be far inferior to Lu Xueqi’s, leaving him utterly without the power to retaliate in her hands.
At this thought, the Ghost King’s expression grew even darker, and he resolved to further enhance his own strength.
However, for the Fulong Cauldron to be completely unsealed, it required the augmentation of energy from four exotic beasts.
Just as the Ghost King was thinking this, the Fulong Cauldron suddenly floated up on its own, and a stream of information instantly drilled into his mind.
Upon sensing this information, the Ghost King’s expression could not help but turn to one of delight.
It turned out that after being continuously bombarded by Lu Xueqi and cleaved repeatedly by the Zhuxian Sword, one of the seals on the Fulong Cauldron had already been shattered. It was now extremely weakened and could release even more energy to enhance the Ghost King’s strength.
After sensing this message, the Ghost King was overjoyed and, with almost no precautions at all, began to accept the power of the Fulong Cauldron.
At this moment, the Fulong Cauldron emitted a crimson radiance, and countless streams of energy merged into the Ghost King’s body, elevating his cultivation, transforming his Divine Soul, and at the same time reshaping his physical body.
Meanwhile, inside the Fulong Cauldron, the corpse of the Corpse God was suffused with dense blood energy.
This blood energy seemed intent on invading the corpse’s body and controlling it, but each time it spread across the surface of the corpse, countless golden lightning flashes would erupt across its body, constantly wearing away the thick blood energy.
Upon witnessing this situation, the Fulong Cauldron did not give up. Instead, it increased the output of blood energy, continuously grinding away at the seal Lu Xueqi had placed upon the Corpse God.
As the Ghost King continued absorbing the power of the Fulong Cauldron, the entire Demonic Sect gradually fell into silence.
At the same time, Lady Sanmiao and Jade Yangzi also returned to their respective sects.
This incident had filled them with extreme fear. Whether it was the Ghost King, Lu Xueqi, or even the Corpse God who had appeared later, their strength was far too terrifying. It caused these figures—who were merely comparable to the peak of the Upper Purity Realm of the Qingyun Sect—to feel their hearts tremble in alarm.
With their strength, how could they possibly contend against such powerful beings?
At this moment, Lady Sanmiao and Jade Yangzi could not help but fall into deep contemplation, seeking some method to enhance their own strength—or the strength of their entire sect.
In his contemplation, Jade Yangzi suddenly recalled the abnormal situation at Flowing Wave Mountain that had previously been reported by an elder of the Longevity Hall.
At this thought, Jade Yangzi’s eyes lit up, and he conceived the idea of going to Flowing Wave Mountain to investigate.
At present, whether it was the Qingyun Sect or the Ghost King Sect, the pressure they exerted upon him was simply too great. They had to seek power to protect themselves.
Especially the Ghost King’s strength—it far exceeded Jade Yangzi’s expectations. If the Ghost King truly entertained thoughts of unifying the Demonic Sect, the Longevity Hall would likely be wiped out in an instant.
Thus, he had to find a solution.
Without further hesitation, Jade Yangzi’s figure flashed, and he flew swiftly toward the direction of Flowing Wave Mountain.
Meanwhile, within the Hehuan Sect.
Lady Sanmiao was also contemplating what method she should use to increase her strength.
Just as she was feeling deeply worried, a disciple came to report that a black-clad man sought an audience and claimed to have a way to help her resist the threats of the Righteous Path and the demonic factions.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lady Sanmiao summoned him.
After the black-clad man entered Hehuan Valley, no one knew what he said to Lady Sanmiao.
At first, she revealed a look of shock upon hearing his words. Then she fell silent. Finally, after a period of deep consideration, she slowly nodded, agreeing to cooperate with the black-clad man.
Seeing this, the black-clad man said, “Lady Sanmiao, rest assured. When the god is revived, it will surely be the day the Ghost King Sect, the Qingyun Sect, and the other factions are destroyed～。。”
Lady Sanmiao merely nodded. “Let us hope so.”
She then waved her hand, dismissing the black-clad man.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Lady Sanmiao’s figure flashed, and she left the main hall to investigate further information.
Meanwhile, after Lu Xueqi had just obtained the First Volume of the Heavenly Book from Zhang Xiaofan and returned to Xiaozhu Peak, she was preparing to enter seclusion for cultivation when the chat group in her mind suddenly trembled.
Lu Xueqi was slightly startled. Upon checking, she discovered that the chat group had issued a new mission.
“Ding, detected that the Divine Condor World is being invaded by an Outer Realm Demon with the intention of destroying the world. An emergency mission is hereby issued: assist group member Xiaolongnü in resolving the invasion of the foreign evil demon and safeguard the peace of the world. Points +50,000.”
“Note: This mission is limited to five participants.”
Upon seeing this message, Lu Xueqi immediately became interested. This time, the reward was actually 50,000 points.
At this moment, the group members within the chat group also grew excited.
Xiong Ba: “Hahaha, 50,000 points! I must participate in this mission!”
Lu Yu: “Yes, this is the chat group’s second mission. The previous mission only had a few thousand points. This time it’s 50,000. However, this is a world-destroying crisis. We still need to be cautious.”
Huang Rong: “Brother Lu Yu need not be afraid. The strength of our chat group has increased greatly this time. Not only has Senior Wang Lin joined, but Sister Lu and Sister Ling Qingzhu are also here. With their strength, resolving a world-destroying crisis should not be a problem.”
Lu Yu: “Don’t celebrate too early. I just checked carefully. This time, the chat group has restricted participation to five people. That means only five can go to Xiaolongnü’s world to resolve this crisis.”
Huang Rong: “Let me take a look. Oh, it really is limited to five.”
Zhang Sanfeng: “Administrator, then which five do you suggest go to the Divine Condor World?”
Lu Yu: “You people are really something. When there’s nothing going on, you call me Lu Yu. When there’s something to handle, you call me Administrator. How realistic.”
Xiao Yan: “Lu Yu, stop grumbling. Quickly say which people should be sent this time.”
Lu Yu: “This is a world-destroying crisis. It’s best to select the strongest members in the group.”
Wang Lin: “I may not be able to go. As you all know, I’m currently in a soul state. I haven’t yet cultivated the Extreme Realm Soul and still need some time. If I go to that world, I may not be of much help.”
Lu Yu: “Wang Lin, how long have you been in that space?”
Wang Lin: “By rough calculation, probably two or three hundred years.”
Lu Yu: “How could that be? Only a few days have passed for us, yet you’ve already been in that world for two or three hundred years. Could it be that the time flow in different worlds is not the same?”
Lu Xueqi: “It should be different. The time flow in Wang Lin’s world is probably much faster than ours. Otherwise, if every seclusion in his world lasted hundreds of years, when they emerged, wouldn’t the people of our worlds have already become Immortals?”
Lu Yu: “That makes sense. Alright then, which group members are free? You can sign up with me.”
Lu Xueqi: “I can go.”
Lu Yu: “Good. Miss Lu must go.”
Xiong Ba: “Since Miss Lu is going, I’ll join as well.”
Upon learning that Lu Xueqi would participate, Xiong Ba immediately felt reassured. As long as Lu Xueqi was present, resolving the world-destroying crisis should not be too difficult.
Lu Yu: “Xiong Ba, you’re quite sly. Fine, you’re in. Anyone else want to go?”
Ling Qingzhu: “I’ll go this time as well. I want to see what an alternate world looks like.”
Lu Yu: “Good. Miss Ling will go too. Alright, we now have five people. It will be me, Xiaolongnü, Lu Xueqi, Ling Qingzhu, and Xiong Ba going to the Divine Condor World to resolve its crisis. Does anyone else have objections?”
Zhang Sanfeng: “I have none.”
Huang Rong: “No objections.”
Xiao Yan: “No objections. I have some matters to handle here and don’t have time to go to another world.”
Wang Yuyan: “I need to focus on cultivation. I also don’t have time to go to another world, and my strength is too weak right now. I wouldn’t be of much help.”
Lu Yu: “Alright. Since that’s the case, the participants are confirmed.”
