Chapter 869

~6 min read 1,141 words

Know that this is a supreme Mythical Realm expert, not a common cabbage.

Do you think you can just chop them down at will?

Fusu had been secretly delighted to hear that Great Qin was the first.

He glanced at the Lord Qiye before him, feeling a small sense of pride.

But when the task was announced, he nearly lost his wits.

Kill a supreme Mythical Realm expert?

Are you kidding me!

And you want us to go kill in another world?

How do we get there?

Fusu stared blankly at Senior Xiaoyaozi, speechless for a long while.

"What? Any problem?"

Senior Xiaoyaozi's smile remained, asking calmly.

"Lord Qiye, it's not that Fusu has an issue.

The supreme Mythical Realm isn't that easy to kill, is it?

And how many supreme Mythical Realm experts are there in one world anyway?

Moreover, how do we get to another world?"

Fusu wanted to complain, but saw Di Shitian behind Senior Xiaoyaozi, giving him a faint, knowing smile.

A chill ran through him for no reason; the complaint died on his lips.

He could only raise practical concerns.

"It's quite simple!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi pulled out a jade tablet and tossed it lightly; it landed steadily in Fusu's palm.

"Give this to Ying Zheng—he'll tell Great Qin how to reach that world.

As for how to kill the expert in that world, that's Great Qin's own business.

Remember: Qinglong Society task—success or death!"

The last words were spoken casually, yet carried an unmistakable aura of lethal intent.

Fusu accepted the jade tablet with a bitter smile, daring not to utter another word.

Had he known this was the task, he truly might not have come forward to accept it.

I hope my imperial father really has a way to deal with a supreme Mythical Realm expert!

"Next, Qiye—since you're standing so close, this task is yours!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi flipped his palm again, and another world's image reappeared.

But this image was clearly not the same world as the one given to Great Qin.

This image showed deep mountains and ancient forests, thick with shadowy gloom.

Several scholars walked together, heading straight into the dense woods.

They walked, paused, and just as the sky changed color,

they seemed to complain about heaven a few times—when suddenly, deep in the ancient forest, a courtyard appeared.

The scholars burst into ecstatic joy and rushed toward the courtyard.

Near the courtyard, they encountered a boundary stele.

On the stele were carved three large characters: "Lanruo Temple."

Then a voice rose, mournful and wailing, haunting and evocative, stirring wild imaginings.

The scholars' figures vanished behind the courtyard's gate.

"Lanruo Temple… this this this…"

Prince Chahatai of Great Yuan, upon seeing the words "Lanruo Temple," stared in stunned silence.

Although Chahatai had not been present at the battle at Beizhen's Lanruo Temple, where Great Yuan, Great Tang, Yin Yue Imperial Court, and Xuanxinzheng Sect converged,

he knew full well that everything began with Lanruo Temple.

Who would have thought that this other world in Lord Qiye's hands would again show a Lanruo Temple?

Doesn't this mean that world also has a Lanruo Temple?

Great Yuan nearly bled itself dry because of Lanruo Temple.

Chahatai himself could say he fell from third prince to his current state because of Lanruo Temple.

Thinking of this, Chahatai couldn't help but look at Lord Qiye.

He found that this ever-calm, peerless Demon Lord had also paled.

Qinglong Society task—failure means death!

Fortunately, at this moment, Senior Xiaoyaozi flipped his wrist and dispersed the image.

"Qiye, your Yin Yue Imperial Court's task is to go to this world and find a woman named Nie Xiaoqian!"

"Nie Xiaoqian?"

Everyone present, except Wu Zhao, gasped in unison.

They still remembered that not long ago, this name had ranked thirtieth on the Heavenly Dao's Hundred Flowers List.

She was merely a peasant girl near Beizhen, but was made one of the Seven Lifetimes of Vengeance by Wan Wan through the Possessing Demon technique.

Her strength leapt straight to the Heavenly Being Realm!

Such a journey left most here envious.

Who would have thought the Qinglong Society's task would send Lord Qiye to another world to find another Nie Xiaoqian?

Is there some connection between these two Nie Xiaoqian?

And why is the Great Qin's mission to kill every supreme Mythical Realm expert in one world?

Yet when it came to the Yin Moon Dynasty, to Lord Qiye the Demon Lord, the task was simply to find a single person?

Hearing Fusu heard this mission and nearly burst into tears.

He truly wanted to say to Lord Qiye the Demon Lord, how about the two of us swap?

Instead, Lord Qiye the Demon Lord, upon hearing this mission, was first stunned.

Then a look of delight spread across his face, and he looked toward Senior Xiaoyaozi and asked,

"Fourth Dragon Head, is what you said true?"

"When has the Qinglong Society ever spoken falsely?"

Senior Xiaoyaozi's expression turned displeased.

"My apologies, Fourth Dragon Head, I was Tang Tu."

Lord Qiye the Demon Lord realized he had misspoken, and there and then, with the dignity of a Demon Lord, solemnly apologized to Senior Xiaoyaozi in front of everyone.

Then he continued to ask,

"What I am asking is, does that world truly have the existence of Xiaoqian?"

Senior Xiaoyaozi spoke of Nie Xiaoqian, and others generally called her Nie Xiaoqian as well.

Yet Lord Qiye the Demon Lord alone spoke of her with tender affection, calling her Xiaoqian with intimate warmth.

Those present were not only high-ranking figures of various factions, but even more so the Long Feng among men.

From just this single form of address, they all perceived that this Nie Xiaoqian held extraordinary significance to Lord Qiye the Demon Lord.

"You'll know naturally once you go."

Senior Xiaoyaozi did not answer directly, and as before, tossed out a jade pendant, which drifted into Lord Qiye the Demon Lord's hand.

Lord Qiye the Demon Lord took the jade pendant excitedly, then solemnly bowed toward Senior Xiaoyaozi.

Senior Xiaoyaozi neither affirmed nor denied, and looked toward Chahetai,

"Your Great Yuan's mission is also not difficult; it's all within this jade pendant. Take it back and give it to the new Great Yuan Great Khan."

As he spoke, he took out another jade pendant, tossed it casually, and it landed in Chahetai's hand.

Chahetai could not help but be covered in black lines.

How come the missions for Great Qin and the Yin Moon Dynasty both begin with a projection, showing what the other world looks like,

and only then announce the mission objective publicly before handing over the jade pendant?

Yet when it came to my Great Yuan, nothing was said at all, and the jade pendant was simply handed out?

Seeing this, Chahetai was stunned for a long while.
