An assassination mission
The next morning, after a day and a night of hard work, the herdsmen finally finished roasting the mutton that Wu Qi had requested.
Having sold all their sheep and received a large sum of money, these herders saw no reason to stay and immediately left with their families.
After yesterday's exploration, Wu Qi also figured out the situation of the Destruction Mountain Range.
Early this morning, he and Qiangu Changkong climbed the Destruction Mountain Range without anyone noticing.
"Wu Ge, my test was relatively simple. Be careful on the way up."
As he spoke, Qiangu Changkong stopped a quarter of the way down the mountain range and began to meditate cross-legged.
The rest of the journey must be walked by Wu Qi alone.
For safety's sake, he maintained his domain the entire way to ensure he wouldn't be severely injured by the Purple Lightning.
The slopes of the Destruction Mountain Range are extremely steep, making them difficult to climb by ordinary means.
Wu Qi possesses the ability to fly, so he is not afraid of this. However, if he flies recklessly, he is very likely to be struck by multiple Thunder.
After yesterday's experiment, he knew clearly that the Thunder would not pose a threat to him, but the paralyzing effect would have an impact.
If he were struck by multiple Thunder, the paralysis effect would accumulate, and he would likely fall off the mountain. It wouldn't be fatal, but he didn't want to end up in such a sorry state.
On the other side of the mountain range, the powerful figures of the Star Luo Empire, unable to contain their impatience, organized a group to climb the mountain as the Thunder showed signs of weakening.
Of course, the amount of energy released by Thunder at any given time is fixed. On the other side, Wu Qi activates his domain, which shares the same origin as Thunder's power, and will naturally attract Thunder's "special attention".
This results in a relative weakening of the Thunder intensity on the other side.
Seeing that the others were taking action, Tang Long and the other Clear Sky Sect disciples urged Tang Xiao to arrange for them to climb the mountain.
However, Tang Xiao remained unmoved, his eyes constantly observing the situation on the mountain.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "This is not a sign that the Thunder is weakening. Although the frequency has decreased, the intensity of the Thunder has not changed. I think someone is climbing the mountain on the other side, drawing our fire. Once they can't hold on any longer, the Thunder will once again see us as a thorn in its side."
"The Fortuitous Opportunity is there, it can't be avoided. If they're willing to die, let them go."
Tang Long and the others didn't have Tang Xiao's strategic vision. Watching others attempt to climb up, they were all anxious, fearing that their Fortuitous Opportunity would be snatched away.
Yu Xiaogang had no such thoughts. With his strength, he could have been killed instantly if struck by Thunder at the foot of the mountain.
Wu Qi was quick and agile, and soon he had climbed to the halfway point of the mountain.
The intensity of the Thunder here is enough to easily keep even Super Douluo out.
With the domain's enhancement, he moved with ease, and the power of Thunder replenished the domain's drain on him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a human perpetual motion machine.
Looking down, he found the scene before him somewhat amusing.
The Qiangu Changkong howled in pain as it was struck by Thunder, and it even tried to dodge the Thunder's attack by moving around.
For him, it meant enduring the full power of Thunder; it's unclear what the God of Destruction was thinking, sending him here to begin the trial.
Wu Qi withdrew his gaze, sat down cross-legged, and began to recover his strength.
In this environment, his cultivation speed was also greatly improved. If he could cultivate with the help of the Thunder at the mountain peak, his cultivation speed would probably be even faster.
Without Twin Martial Souls, his cultivation progress will be very slow. Therefore, he must make use of every available Fortuitous Opportunity to quickly improve his cultivation.
In contrast to his relaxed demeanor, the powerful figures of the Star Luo Empire on the other side were in a much worse situation.
The Thunder struck the crowd, causing numerous casualties, forcing them to return to their camp to rest.
This also indirectly proves that what Tang Xiao said earlier was true.
On the other side.
Chen Ping's squad had also heard about the Destruction Mountain Range.
However, they had a mission to complete and couldn't possibly go and join the fun.
Chen Ping, the Vice-Captain, was not well-liked in the team.
The rest of the team members were all over fifty years old, and they were all extremely resentful that a young man in his early twenties was in charge.
No matter how extravagant Chen Ping's Soul Ring Configuration or how strong he was, these people always relied on their seniority, ignored his arrangements, and even openly defied his orders.
Chen Ping didn't know whether these people's behavior was arranged by Bibi Dong, or whether it was just their nature.
It seems that the corruption within the Spirit Hall exceeded his expectations.
This time, Wu Qi also gave him a task, letting him know the internal situation of the Spirit Hall to facilitate future Reform.
That noon, the team of five had a simple meal in a nearby city before receiving a new mission from the Spirit Hall.
Team Captain Wang Tian gathered the team members together and briefly explained the mission details.
On this mission, they need to disguise themselves as assassins from the Clear Sky Sect, target Prince Dai Weisi of the Star Luo Prince, and shift the blame to the Clear Sky Sect.
After the Spirit Hall's investigation, it was discovered that the Clear Sky Sect members relocated to the Star Luo Empire and rebuilt their sect. All of this was done with the tacit approval of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
Or rather, the Star Luo Emperor also needs to rely on the influence of the Clear Sky Sect to deal with the upcoming chaotic situation.
The Star Luo Empire was already a powerful nation, and the Clear Sky Sect possessed six Titled Douluo. With the Spirit Hall unable to intervene, this strength was enough to cause significant trouble for the Heaven Dou Empire.
Chen Ping guessed that Bibi Dong's move was intended to completely reduce the Clear Sky Sect to Sewer and to further inflame the conflict between the Dai brothers Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai.
It's important to know that Dai Mubai is a crucial link between the Clear Sky Sect and the Imperial Family.
With the Clear Sky Sect eliminating Dai Weisi as an obstacle, the Imperial Throne will undoubtedly fall into Dai Mubai's hands in the future.
Most importantly, Dai Mubai is not currently on the mainland. The latest news from the Spirit Hall indicates that they set sail from Vast Sea City and have not shown any signs of returning.
"How come the intelligence network inside the palace is so powerful? They can even find out information about Vast Sea City?" Chen Ping couldn't help but ask.
Within the team, Wang Tian and he had a fairly good relationship; at least on the surface, there was no conflict between them.
Knowing that Chen Ping had worked with the high-ranking officials in the hall for a long time, Wang Tian explained with a smile, "We have to thank Elder Wu and Elder Qian Gu for this; they've won over the hearts of the Chai Family family in Vast Sea City!"
Chen Ping did not accompany the two to Maple Leaf City, and therefore was unaware of their subsequent experiences.
In short, after learning about Qiangu Changkong's Martial Soul, the Chai Brothers knew that the two of them came from the Spirit Hall.
However, the other party was too young, yet possessed extremely exaggerated strength. The two were worried that if they saw something they shouldn't have, they would be secretly silenced by the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, after leaving the Destruction Mountain Range, they did not return to their family, but went to the nearest Spirit Hall to express their willingness to join the Spirit Hall.
