Outside the Mission Hall.
The five exchanged glances.
Li Xiangru looked at the others and said, "You all heard what the elder just said. We're to discuss how to carry out the mission ourselves. The Alliance doesn't care about the process, only the result. If we fail, we'll have to join the Suicide Squad and fight Dark Cultivators on the front lines."
"Heh."
The young man sneered.
"If we fail this mission, we probably won't get a chance to come back anyway. No need to worry about joining the Suicide Squad."
The other old man and the woman remained expressionless.
Chen Lin's eyes flickered.
He hadn't expected the Alliance to assign a mission like this, either.
He had considered all sorts of possibilities beforehand.
But every guess had been wrong.
This mission was actually to explore the Nightmare Realm!
If it had been any other mission, he really wouldn't have known what to do. But exploring the Nightmare Realm? That hardly frightened him.
Because he had Merit Coins!
My dear wife, you're still the one I can count on when it matters!
Chen Lin muttered inwardly.
With something to fall back on, he no longer needed to worry about how to survive. Instead, he watched coldly from the sidelines, considering how to resolve this crisis.
Even returning alive from the Nightmare Realm wouldn't mean he was safe.
If one attempt failed, there would be another.
As long as Wan Zhencang remained alive and served as the Alliance Leader, Chen Lin would never be free of danger.
Yet Chen Lin truly couldn't think of any means to drag the man down from the Alliance Leader's throne.
As for killing him, he didn't even dare entertain the thought.
The man was at the Great Perfection of the True Realm!
Rumor had it
