Chapter 2398: Special Mission

Ye Liuyun humbly agreed with everyone, promising that if the chance arose they would definitely cooperate.

Then he led You Ming and the others back to his residence and started grilling meat in the courtyard.

In the Grand Hall, Leng Jian was holding his breath alone while drinking stale wine, and came to hate You Ming, Kuang Sha, Ye Liuyun and the others.

He originally thought You Ming and the others would be at a disadvantage during training, and wanted to mock them here.

Unexpectedly, when the others returned, they ended up mocking him.

They said he looked down on others, but the ones he despised turned out to be the strongest, causing You Ming and the others to wipe out the other groups.

These people, openly and covertly, were mocking his character.

Leng Jian, enraged, went on a rampage again and returned straight to his own residence.

"It's because You Ming and Kuang Sha, those two strong ones, are there!"

Leng Jian also didn't hear all these people's descriptions of Ye Liuyun, and thought that no matter how strong he was, he wasn't his opponent.

But after being publicly slapped a few times, his pride couldn't stand it, and he blamed You Ming and the others.

You Ming and the others were at this moment eating barbecue while discussing team formation with Ye Liuyun and Kuang Sha.

Ye Liuyun and Kuang Sha naturally agreed, feeling that their group worked well together and there were no issues with the people.

Thus their small group was finally settled.

At Ye Liuyun's suggestion, they all signed an equal contract, making communication easier and guarding against back‑stabbing.

Next, they began discussing whether to continue taking missions or train for a while longer.

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to go out on missions, feeling that killing their own here was pointless.

After everyone dispersed, Ye Liuyun went to find Wu Hun and told him he was ending training to take on missions.

Wu Hun immediately agreed: "Fine! I've heard about your group's training results; staying here wouldn't have anyone who could match you.

I will convert all the resources you need into points.

After you complete the mission, you can redeem points, so it won't delay your mission nor your acquisition of better resources."

"Thank you so much!"

Ye Liuyun also felt that Wu Hun was truly taking good care of him.

Wu Hun merely nodded and instructed him: "But you must remember, when your strength can contend with a double‑layered Heavenly Being Martial Cultivator, come find me; then I will give you more important training.

Remember, remember! And you must not tell anyone else."

Seeing Wu Hun's serious instructions, Ye Liuyun solemnly agreed at once.

The next day, Ye Liuyun went with You Ming and the others to take on a mission.

He previously didn't know that several people could go on a mission together and discuss it.

These missions were all Special Missions set for assassination squads.

They involve killing specific important figures at designated times.

That is, Black Kill provides the target, the time and event to reach a location, then the squad acts jointly.

These missions are time‑limited and targeted.

Like the last time You Ming killed Marquis Wanwei; if the kill wasn't achieved on the spot, the mission would be cancelled.

But the difficulty is certainly greater than ordinary missions, often allowing only one chance to strike.

Moreover, the risk of retreat is huge; a slight slip could lead to total annihilation.

After Ye Liuyun surveyed the area, he realized that attempting these missions with only a few people was extremely dangerous.

If he followed his previous method, he would definitely need to bring some soldiers to act.

But You Ming remained calm, flipping through the missions one by one.

Finally, he chose a mission to assassinate the Ninth Prince of the Holy Land Dynasty.

Black Kill's information was that the Ninth Prince, accompanied by several Martial Cultivator experts, would enter a Secret Realm to seek resources, bringing only a thousand Imperial Guard and twenty double‑layered Heavenly Being strongmen.

"The Secret Realm is spacious, and they sent few people; we also have more time."

You Ming analyzed.

"Not bad! Moreover, there are Martial Cultivators inside the Secret Realm, making it easy for us to hide our tracks, and our extraction is also easy."

Tian Yan also thought this mission's difficulty was the lowest.

Then Kuang Sha and Yi Dao also agreed to the mission, and everyone looked at Ye Liuyun.

"I have no objections, I'll follow you! But someone's Secret Realm, isn't that just a world?"

Ye Liuyun had no particular view on the mission, thinking any would be the same.

He only had a different understanding of the Secret Realm's name compared to them.

"Then how can they be the same?

Only a complete Xingqiu can be called a world.

If it's just Adao xu with a Teleportation Array, then it's a Secret Realm."

Kuang Sha explained to Ye Liuyun.

The others all thought this country bumpkin Ye Liuyun had never encountered it before, and no one found it odd.

"Then who set up the Teleportation Array at the Secret Realm's entrance?"

Ye Liuyun again raised his question.

This time You Ming explained: "Some entrances to Secret Realms are naturally formed, but most are set up by strong ones who have been there, arranging a Teleportation Array.

The Holy Land Dynasty often sends strong individuals to scout around.

Once they discover a resource‑rich Dao xu, they quietly install a Teleportation Array, then have the Holy Land Dynasty send people to plunder.

That is why the Holy Land Dynasty's resources are so abundant."

"So, many of the Holy Land Dynasty's resources are taken by force?"

Ye Liuyun pressed the question.

"Hmm!"

You Ming nodded and looked at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought to himself that it seemed not only the Holy Land Dynasty's army, but the entire dynasty was likewise plundering resources everywhere, essentially becoming no different from the Foreign Tribe.

"Where does the Holy Land Dynasty store all the resources it has seized?"

When it occurred to Ye Liuyun, he blurted the question out.

"We couldn't possibly know!"

Kuang Sha and the others thought Ye Liuyun's question was laughable.

You Ming looked at Ye Liuyun and told him, "You'd better not think about that for now.

Such places are surely guarded by heavy troops and strong fighters; they can't be taken down by just a few people."

Ye Liuyun let out an "Oh," brushed it off, but thought to himself that it would be great if he could get information on that.

He suddenly thought that perhaps through the Ninth Prince he could learn the Holy Land Dynasty's treasure locations.

When this occurred, his eyes lit up and he opened his mouth to speak.

You Ming, who had been watching Ye Liuyun, immediately sent a Transmission Voice to him: "Don't say it!"

Ye Liuyun could only open his mouth and swallow the thought.

"Why do you have so many questions?

What else do you want to ask?"

Yi Dao saw Ye Liuyun about to speak and casually asked.

"It's nothing; I just think that the information doesn't say what realms the Martial Cultivators in the Secret Realm are at."

Ye Liuyun had to make up a reason.

"If it's not in the information, even Black Kill doesn't know the situation!"

Tian Yan explained to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun nodded, fell silent, but thought to himself whether You Ming shared the same goal.
