Chapter 1051 Temporary call, urgent mission
hum!
Chen Xuan, along with Fairy Bingfeng and Wu Zhaomei, rushed straight into Sishui City.
Wherever they passed, they saw seriously injured members of the Black Armor Squad.
Among them, many cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage were seriously injured.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan's face suddenly darkened.
"It seems that this time there should be a special mission for our Black Iron Fifty-sixth Squadron to be assigned to."
"I just don't know what happened during this period of time."
Chen Xuan walked forward, muttering curiously.
Just when he appeared in front of the Hall of Merit, he saw Master Zimang waiting there.
When Master Zimang saw Chen Xuan returning with Wu Zhaomei, he was immediately filled with ecstasy.
"Haha, Junior Brother, you finally brought your sister-in-law back. However, I'm afraid we won't have time to reminisce this time. Senior Xu has been waiting for you in there for a long time."
"As for the settlement of my brother and sister-in-law, leave it to me."
Master Zimang said with a smile.
Chen Xuan smiled gratefully: "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother. In addition, Fairy Bingfeng will also join Sishui City. But since she is a demon, Senior Brother, please ask someone to contact fellow Taoists of the demon clan in Sishui City to pick her up."
"Don't worry, junior brother. I will handle this matter properly for you." Master Zimang said with a smile.
Chen Xuan nodded, and after giving a few instructions to Wu Zhaomei and Fairy Bingfeng, he hurriedly walked into the meeting hall.
Soon, Chen Xuan appeared in front of Old Man Xu.
Seeing Chen Xuan appear, Old Man Xu grabbed Chen Xuan and hurried towards a secret room deep in the Hall of Merit.
"Chen Xuan, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, I'm afraid this matter would have fallen into the hands of others."
The old leader grabbed Chen Xuan's arm, as if he was afraid that Chen Xuan would run away.
"This... Old Xu, what happened to make you so anxious? In addition, when I came to Sishui City, I saw many Taoist friends were seriously injured. Could it be that your visit to me this time is related to this matter?"
"Hehe, it turns out that nothing can be hidden from you. However, someone else will tell you about this matter in detail."
Old Man Xu took Chen Xuan and moved forward quickly.
Soon, the two appeared in a secret room.
In the secret room, the person waiting for Chen Xuan was none other than Mr. Bai.
"How can it be the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation? Old Xu, are you trying to fool me?"
Mr. Bai's eyes swept over Chen Xuan.
Seeing that the aura emanating from Chen Xuan was only at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Haha, you old thing, you look down on others, don't you? The person I recommend, even if he is only in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, is a hundred times better than the one you, a bastard, have chosen."
"Old Xu, you know very well that this is not what I meant. I just... that's all. At this point, one more kid won't make any difference. Since you've brought him here, can I still send him back?"
Mr. Bai glared at Old Man Xu.
I had no choice but to agree.
Seeing this, Mr. Xu winked at Chen Xuan.
"Why don't you go meet Elder Bai Weng quickly?"
"This……"
Chen Xuan was stunned.
Especially after hearing Bai Weng's name, he showed a hint of surprise.
"Excuse me, senior, is this really the Bai Weng from Sishui City?"
Mr. Bai smiled strangely.
"I have been in Sishui City for so many years, but I have never heard of another Bai Weng."
When Chen Xuan heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed.
Thinking of the remnant soul of Zu Yun in Thunderstorm Mountain, who asked him to find Bai Weng and deliver a message, Chen Xuan suddenly hesitated.
Mr. Bai also seemed to see through Chen Xuan's thoughts.
His eyes quickly swept over Old Man Xu.
Seeing this, Old Man Xu immediately asked, "Could it be that you two have something else to hide from me?"
"Hehe, you have to ask Brother Chen whether he is willing." Old Man Bai glared at Old Man Xu.
Chen Xuan laughed dryly and said directly: "Senior Bai, someone asked me to bring a message to you."
"What?"
"That man said that he had repaid the favor he had shown me back then."
hum!
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, a powerful pressure from the fusion stage suddenly erupted from Bai Weng.
"Boy, where is the person I asked you to deliver the message to? Is he still alive?"
Seeing this, Old Man Xu quickly stood in front of Chen Xuan.
"Old Bai, what do you mean by this? Why are you making things difficult for a junior?"
"This... I'm sorry. I heard what my old friend said and got a little excited."
Mr. Bai looked at Chen Xuan apologetically, and the pressure from his fusion period was instantly subsided.
Old Man Xu glanced at Chen Xuan with a strange look on his face. The next moment, he suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, have you ever been to Thunderstorm Mountain?"
"Eh? How did you guess that, Mr. Xu?"
"Haha, although Mr. Bai has a bad temper, he is a generous person. He doesn't like to owe favors to others, but he also doesn't want others to owe him favors. Back then, a guy named Zu Yun owed him a big favor. Afterwards, this person entered Thunderstorm Mountain and has not been heard from since. Could it be that the person who asked you to deliver the message was him?"
"Mr. Xu, you really have a keen eye. The person who asked me to pass on the message was Zu Yun."
Chen Xuan nodded.
Taking this opportunity, he told in detail how he found Zuyun Cave in Thunderstorm Mountain.
After hearing this, Old Xu and Old Bai both showed expressions of disbelief and surprise.
After a long while, Mr. Bai smiled bitterly, "I never thought that Zu Yun was really angry with me and went straight into Thunderstorm Mountain. What a pity... I haven't seen him come back in so many years. I never thought that when I heard about him, he had already died."
Mr. Bai sighed for a long time.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't know what to say.
Standing quietly by the side, waiting for Mr. Bai to recover.
About half a cup of tea later, Mr. Bai's mood finally recovered.
He looked at Chen Xuan apologetically and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you very much. If it weren't for the news you brought, I wouldn't have known that Zu Yun would really perish in Thunderstorm Mountain."
"However, the reason why I want to meet you this time is because Old Man Xu strongly recommended you."
"I'm sure you've guessed some of the specifics."
“Recently, a large number of powerful people from the tribe have appeared in the three thousand wild worlds outside our Sishui City.”
"Especially near the Black Dragon Pond, there are very powerful alien warriors entrenched. Our Black Iron Team of the human and demon races were frequently ambushed while patrolling here. There were heavy casualties."
"In fact, several Black Iron teams were completely wiped out."
"We sent out Nascent Soul experts to search for the whereabouts of those alien cultivators. But those guys were as slippery as loaches and simply wouldn't come out."
"But if we send out the Black Iron Squad, they will take the initiative to launch a surprise attack."
"This matter has attracted the attention of the Elders' Council of both the human and demon tribes in Sishui City."
"This time, the elders will let me supervise this matter specifically."
After hearing this, Chen Xuan understood clearly that he was pulled here by Old Man Xu this time just to deal with those powerful aliens who appeared out of nowhere.
For a moment, Chen Xuan felt a headache.
"Senior Bai, it's not that I don't want to contribute, but I am a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage after all. I am still resting..."
Chen Xuan looked solemn.
Before Chen Xuan could finish his words, Mr. Bai burst out laughing.
"You kid, are you still trying to negotiate with me? However, for a junior like you who has strong fighting ability, I can satisfy you even if you put forward conditions."
"You are now in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Now, you are the captain of the Black Iron Fifty-Sixth Squad. However, you have been living in the secret room of the Black Iron Fifty-Sixth Squad's base until now, right?"
Chen Xuan nodded seriously.
I don't understand what Mr. Bai means.
But when Old Man Xu at the side heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Old man Xu, you are not planning to give Chen Xuan a cave, are you? You know very well that caves are in short supply in our Sishui City. They are usually allocated to the golden-armored soldiers in the Void Refinement Stage." said Old man Xu.
Mr. Bai nodded without any concealment.
"Under normal circumstances, I would not dare to do this. However, this time the situation is special. Moreover, the matter of Black Dragon Pond concerns the reputation of our human and demon races. If we do not deal a heavy blow to those alien cultivators, it will be difficult for our human race and demon race to gain a foothold in Fengyun Continent."
“As for the reward, since the Council of Elders has entrusted me with full authority to handle it, then I naturally have the right to reward the cave residence.”
When Mr. Bai reached this point, he looked at Chen Xuan.
Without waiting for Chen Xuan to speak, Bai Weng smiled and said, "If you agree to carry out this mission, I can let you choose a cave of your own in our Sishui City."
"Besides that, I can also make the decision and give you enough Dust Reducing Pills. How do you think?"
Chen Xuan looked surprised.
The conditions directly proposed by Mr. Bai were really something he couldn't refuse.
Besides, he is also a member of Sishui City, so naturally he doesn’t want to see the cultivators of Sishui City suffer losses.
After a brief pause, Chen Xuan said, "If that's the case, I have nothing to say. However, I have a Taoist partner who has just arrived in Sishui City. I hope you two seniors will consider my mission and make proper arrangements for her."
"Haha, don't worry, kid. Since you are working hard for our Sishui City this time, I will not treat your dual cultivation partner unfairly. How about this, I will give her three bottles of Dust Reducing Pills, and she can choose your cave. How about it?" Mr. Bai said with a smile.
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
Wu Zhaomei had just arrived in Sishui City, and he was worried about how to make arrangements for her.
Now that Mr. Bai said so, Chen Xuan naturally would not refuse.
"If that's the case, I would like to thank you two seniors. Please let me know when we will set off." Chen Xuan said happily.
"Haha, you and I are very compatible. Since you have already agreed to this, I will give you one hour to prepare. In one hour, gather here. At that time, all of you who are going to perform the mission will set out together."
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan agreed and quickly said goodbye and left.
After Chen Xuan left for a long time, Old Man Xu looked at Mr. Bai and gave him a strange smile.
"You are such a thoughtful old man. Are you really planning to give Chen Xuan a cave?"
Mr. Bai glared at Old Man Xu and said, "What? Do you really think I'm kidding you?"
"Haha, it seems that you guys in the Council of Elders have finally realized that something is wrong. Now, the great catastrophe of heaven and earth is about to come. Our Sishui City will definitely become the center of the catastrophe. When the time comes, once we clash with the alien warriors, we will definitely need young warriors like Chen Xuan to lead the charge. Are you guys trying to win over people's hearts in advance?"
“Ahem, although that’s the case, I won’t admit it.”
Mr. Bai smiled complacently.
Seeing this, Old Man Xu didn't say much.
After chatting with Mr. Bai for a while, he immediately left the secret room.
At this moment, Chen Xuan had already found Wu Zhaomei and Master Zimang in the Hall of Merit.
Chen Xuan did not mention a word about going to Black Dragon Pond.
However, he told Wu Zhaomei and Master Zimang about the cave abode that had been assigned to him.
He also asked Master Zimang to help take care of Wu Zhaomei.
For a cultivator, one hour is just a blink of an eye.
After Chen Xuan settled Wu Zhaomei, he went straight into the secret room where Bai Weng was.
At this moment, there are seven or eight immortal cultivators in the God Transformation Stage gathered here.
Chen Xuan's eyes swept over these guys.
Seeing that these guys were all the same as himself, the famous masters of the God Transformation Stage in Sishui City, he was suddenly surprised.
But Mr. Bai looked at Chen Xuan and smiled, "Chen Xuan, I have gathered you all together this time. I plan to let you lead a team to the Black Dragon Pond alone. As for the other team, Xu Jingchun will lead it. Do you have any objection?"
