Chapter 401: I Want to Progress Too Much
Ye Lin's self-introduction left everyone present speechless.
Although it was the first time Ou Liechen and the others had met Ye Lin, they had heard of his countless heinous crimes.
For a guy like this to say he was afraid of blood and violence was as unbelievable as a player of *Identity V* saying their mental state was perfectly fine.
Dongfang Su stood up, suppressing the urge to give Ye Lin a slash.
"Ou Liechen and the other three can break through to the Fan Xing Realm at any time; they specifically suppressed their levels for this operation. Next, I will explain what you need to do when you go to the Sang Country."
"You have two missions for this trip to the Sang Country."
"First, investigate the specific relationship between the Sang Country and the Demon Clan to see if they are just cooperating temporarily or if the Sang Country has completely become a lackey of the Demon Clan."
"Second, retrieve the Nine-Star Divine Artifact: the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron."
Dongfang Su spread his hands forcefully, and an ink wash painting appeared before the five of them.
Inside the painting was a large bronze cauldron with three legs and two ears; even though it was just a painting, a sense of heavy texture still rushed toward them.
"Is this... the one the Sang Country borrowed from our You Daxia back then?" Ou Liechen asked.
Dongfang Su nodded.
During the first Great Human-Demon War, the major human kingdoms united to resist the foreign enemy together.
The Sang Country was located at the front line of the Demon Clan's assault and requested aid from You Daxia. You Daxia experts brought the Nine-Star Divine Artifact, the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron, to garrison the Sang Country.
After the Great Human-Demon War, this Nine-Star Divine Artifact remained within the Sang Country, and You Daxia's several requests for its return were fruitless.
Now that the Sang Country has colluded with the Demon Clan, You Daxia naturally will not continue to sit by and watch such a treasure remain lost abroad.
"The current Sang Country has five Lie Yang Realm experts: three at level 97, one at level 98, and one at level 99. There are 32 Hao Yue Realm experts and 127 Fan Xing Realm experts, totaling 164 Third Realm experts. Therefore, this plan is for a clever capture, not a frontal assault."
Dongfang Su handed the ink wash painting to Ye Lin and the other four.
"I will send you into the Sang Country. Once you arrive, someone will naturally meet you there. After you enter, everything will depend on yourselves. You must remember to hide your identities, especially you."
Dongfang Su glanced at Ye Lin.
"You are likely the person the Sang Country people hate the most right now."
Ye Lin scratched his head, thinking to himself that the Sang Country people were just petty. Wasn't it just wiping out one of their sacrificial divine prisons? Why be so agitated?
"Ou Liechen, you will serve as the person in charge of this operation. After entering the Sang Country, the other four must obey Ou Liechen's command. Do you understand?"
"Understood." X5
"No time to lose, let's set off."
Dongfang Su made the final decision immediately.
He first summoned the most skilled master of disguise within the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards to help Student Zhuge Ni disguise herself, even covering up those most conspicuous double pupils.
As for Ye Lin, with a set of Corpse-Underworld Hidden Robes, no one would recognize him.
After the preparations were done, night had already fallen. They set off under the cover of darkness, crossing the ocean and heading straight for the Sang Country.
After approaching the Sang Country's border, they could clearly notice many more patrolling professionals.
"I will only send you this far; the rest is up to you."
Dongfang Su stopped his steps. An expert of his level would certainly cause panic and alert the entire Sang Country the moment he stepped into its territory.
Ou Liechen raised his hands, his ten fingers dancing rapidly, weaving a barrier that enveloped the five of them. All seawater was instantly isolated outside the barrier.
"Don't leave the range of the barrier, and they won't be able to discover us," Ou Liechen instructed.
Inside and outside the barrier felt like two different worlds. They walked past the Sang Country's patrols in such a swaggering manner.
The whole process was thrilling but safe; even when Sang Country people walked right in front of Ye Lin and the others, they didn't notice anything wrong.
Only after they successfully stepped onto the Sang Country's land did Ou Liechen put away the barrier.
His face was somewhat pale; clearly, maintaining the barrier for so long was not a small drain on him.
Dongfang Su said someone would meet them upon entering the Sang Country, but after they arrived, let alone a contact, they couldn't even see a dog.
"Where is the contact?" Ye Lin looked at Ou Liechen and asked.
Ou Liechen frowned, his eyes also showing some confusion.
"I don't know. Logically, he should have received the news and been waiting here ahead of time. Let's wait a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from the darkness.
"One cup of palace jade liquid wine minus one big hammer and then minus one small hammer, how much does it equal?"
"180-80-40=60."
Ou Liechen answered instantly.
"Family!"
Seeing Ou Liechen successfully match the code, a man with a slicked-back hairstyle came rushing over, panting.
His clothes were disheveled, and there was a strange smell on him.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I was delayed by some Sang Country ladies."
Seeing this man, Ye Lin was incredibly surprised, because he actually recognized him!
"You are... Teacher Damu?"
Ye Lin was stunned; he never expected that someone he had seen in his hands before would one day appear vividly before him.
"This little comrade, Damu is my stage name. Please call me by my real name, Zhou Qingfeng!"
Zhou Qingfeng glared at Ye Lin.
"Also, you actually recognize my stage name. Your ideological awareness as a little comrade needs improvement!"
Ye Lin was dumbfounded. Was this the "Wood has become Zhou"?
"You know him?" Student Zhuge Ni couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, Damu... oh no, Teacher Zhou Qingfeng is an artist of both virtue and art." Ye Lin nodded with a strange expression.
You Daxia still has many talented people; this is the legendary "great hermit living in the city."
The Sang Country people would never think in their wildest dreams that You Daxia's undercover agent was actually working as an artist in the Sang Country.
"Alright, don't just stand here, come with me quickly!"
Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling Ye Lin and the others to follow.
A seven-seater car was parked on the side of the road not far away, and Zhou Qingfeng drove them all back to his home.
"Come, drink some water first."
Zhou Qingfeng poured them each a glass of water and took out five file bags from a drawer.
"Lord Dongfang Su has already told me everything about the purpose of your visit this time. The Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron is in the hands of the Sang Country Emperor. It is not an easy task for you to get close to it; we need to plan carefully."
He handed over the five file bags.
"These are the fake identities I prepared for you. Your workplaces are all storefronts on the streets near the Sang Country Imperial Palace. You can take this opportunity to observe the situation there first, which will make it easier to formulate an operational plan."
Ye Lin pulled the documents out of the file bag. It showed that he was now called Yongchuan Ren, an apprentice responsible for grilling yakitori, and he even had a new residence.
Ou Liechen and the others also had their own new identities.
"Alright, if there are no other questions, go back to your respective residences and get some good rest. I wish you all success!"
Zhou Qingfeng was just an ordinary person with a good waist; he wasn't even a professional. He had already done everything he could.
"I have a question!"
Ye Lin raised his hand and asked somewhat shyly.
"Teacher Zhou, can I follow you to learn how to film movies? I want to progress too much!" ===== CHAPTER 402 =====
