Mu Feiyang usually had Little Black do small tasks for him. For example, when Mu Feiyang wanted barbecue, Little Black would go catch a monster.
When Mu Feiyang hunted monsters and needed to distribute them to the villagers, it was also Little Black. Little Black even helped with clearing land and planting crops.
That's why these plants and animals had such a strong opinion of Little Black, but who could blame Little Black when it was the most active one?
Because it transformed into a black dog, the villagers would only praise Little Black for being smart. However, others were different, as the things they transformed into were too strange.
To avoid scaring the villagers, Mu Feiyang restricted their movement and forbade them from revealing their abilities in front of the villagers.
It wasn't like a koi, a hen, or even those flowers, plants, and farming tools could just run around Laga Village!
If that happened, the villagers of Laga Village would be terrified, thinking they were all monsters. They might even think Mu Feiyang was possessed.
"Stop arguing, everyone. I'll make the arrangements."
Seeing them bickering, Mu Feiyang felt a headache coming on. It was just a matter of going out to kill a few people, why did it have to be like dividing treasures?
Helpless, Mu Feiyang had to interrupt them. Otherwise, they could argue for three days and three nights and still not reach a conclusion.
"Little Black will lead this time, with Chang Li and Tian Long as his deputies. The three of you must eliminate Princess Zhao and all her cronies."
"Please rest assured, Master. We will definitely complete the task you've assigned."
As soon as Mu Feiyang finished speaking, the three he had named were overjoyed, especially Chang Li and Tian Long, as this was the first time Mu Feiyang had assigned them a mission.
Those who weren't assigned a task showed looks of disappointment, as if they had lost hundreds of millions.
"Go!"
Mu Feiyang shook his head. These guys must have been lonely for too long. It seemed he needed to find something for them to do in the future, otherwise, they might all get depressed, which wouldn't be good.
After Mu Feiyang spoke, Little Black and the other two immediately ascended, disappearing into the sky above Laga Village in an instant, flying towards the Xiling Empire's imperial palace.
Little Black often ran out to play before, so it was familiar with the Xiling Empire's imperial palace. It was precisely because Little Black often snuck out to play, sometimes not returning for days, that Mu Feiyang had severely punished it once.
Mu Feiyang had broken all its bones before refining some pills to treat Little Black. Later, Zhao Shanshan ate half of the remaining two pills.
After the three left, Mu Feiyang went back to his room to sleep, as he was accustomed to taking naps.
Meanwhile, the other three arrived at the Xiling Empire's imperial city after flying for about half a day. As the three appeared above the Xiling Empire, they were quickly discovered by people below the imperial city.
However, none of them paid attention to the people below, and they seemed to be discussing something.
"You mangy dog, do you know where Princess Zhao lives?"
"Please call me Captain Little Black. Master told you to listen to me. Be careful, I'll report you to Master when we get back."
"You..."
"Hmph! I can't be bothered to argue with you."
Tian Long was angered by Little Black's shameless words and really wanted to punch him in the mouth. However, after thinking of Mu Feiyang's words, Tian Long gave up.
"Stop talking nonsense here. Let's complete Master's mission first!"
Chang Li, standing beside them, also found Little Black a bit unbearable. However, she reminded the two that they were on a mission now, not out for a stroll.
Once Mu Feiyang's mission was completed, they could argue as much as they wanted, even fight.
"Tian Long, isn't your clan the best at creating barriers? Seal off the entire imperial city first, so that some people can't escape."
"Alright!"
Tian Long didn't say much. Instead, he shot a golden light towards the imperial city below. When the golden light landed within the imperial city, it spread outwards, quickly covering the entire city.
Then, a light barrier appeared at the edge of the imperial city, enveloping the entire city. Some people who didn't know what was happening tried to leave the city, only to be repelled by the sudden golden light.
"Okay, the entire imperial city is sealed now. What's our next step?"
"Of course, we need to find someone to lead us to Princess Zhao, since we don't know what she looks like."
"Tch!"
"I thought you had a brilliant idea! I should have brought those two girls with us earlier."
Hearing Little Black's words, Tian Long couldn't help but scorn him. When they left earlier, they had encountered Zhao Shanshan and another girl on their way. Tian Long had suggested bringing them along.
Since they were princesses of the Xiling Empire, they would definitely know where Princess Zhao lived. Who knew Little Black would veto it.
"Finding someone to lead the way isn't that difficult. Why do we need to bring those two girls?"
After saying that, Little Black reached out and grabbed a bewildered soldier from the imperial city below.
"P-Predecessor, is there anything I can help you with? I will definitely handle it perfectly for you."
Suddenly being grabbed and brought into the sky above the imperial city, the soldier, after his initial shock, stammered. These three could stand in the air, meaning they were at least in the Sky Soaring Realm.
Since they hadn't killed him immediately, they must have needed something from him, which was why the soldier spoke so deferentially.
"Do you know where Princess Zhao lives?"
"The First Princess?"
"Yes, your First Princess."
"I do, Senior. Are you looking for the First Princess? I know her residence. Do you need me to lead you there?"
"Mm!"
Little Black responded and then descended from the Imperial City with the soldier. The soldier finally let out a sigh of relief once his feet touched the ground.
He was merely a patrol soldier in the Imperial City, a nobody at the eighth level of Body Refining. Being suddenly snatched up into the sky was enough to scare him half to death.
It was quite impressive that he could still manage himself so well. After his relief, the soldier turned and led Little Black and the other two in a certain direction.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the Imperial Palace, within Zhao Wuji's sleeping quarters, a person in black was reporting to him about Little Black and the other two, as well as the Imperial City being sealed off.
"Spirit Guard, do you know the cultivation realms of those three?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, because the distance was too great and I was unaware of their purpose, I did not approach too closely and am therefore unclear about their realms."
"However, I sensed from afar that all three are at least in the Imperial Realm."
"The Imperial Realm, you say? It seems these three are not here with good intentions!"
"Spirit Guard, monitor their movements closely. Report anything to me immediately."
Upon hearing that the three were at least in the Imperial Realm, Zhao Wuji's expression grew grave. This was because the strongest ancestor of his Xiling Empire was only in the Imperial Realm.
If these three were truly here to cause trouble, then even his royal family wouldn't be able to do much against them, unless they mobilized a million troops to fight back.
But this was the Imperial City, and mobilizing a million troops was clearly impossible. Therefore, Zhao Wuji hoped that the three were not here to cause trouble.
