Venerable Guanping!
The moment Sea Dragon True Lord heard those four words, he knew there was no retreat left for him.
Nor was he allowed to refuse!
Once he refused, only death awaited him—there would be no exceptions.
Moreover, he had heard of Venerable Guanping's character before!
Under normal circumstances, Venerable Guanping was mild-tempered. But once he spoke, no one was permitted to refuse him. He was exceedingly overbearing.
Still, there was one point worthy of praise: his reputation was excellent.
And he always kept his word!
He would honor his word regarding Xu Ruo as well!
If one handled Venerable Guanping's affairs well, he would not be stingy with his rewards—and those rewards were exceptionally generous!
Once, Venerable Guanping had bestowed an incomparably precious Spirit Pill upon a Nascent Soul Late Stage Mortal Cultivator, allowing him to break straight through into the realm of Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
Of course!
For a Venerable to bestow such a precious Spiritual Item, the task must have been extraordinarily dangerous!
Or else it required one to possess immense fortune.
In any case, it could not possibly have been a trivial matter!
Precisely because Sea Dragon True Lord understood this, he knew that the matter Venerable Guanping had assigned him this time could never be simple. It was highly likely to be exceedingly dangerous.
But he had no way to refuse now. Once he refused...
Forget about a fortuitous opportunity!
He would not even survive the day!
Thus, Sea Dragon True Lord tactfully suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said with a respectful expression:
"It is our honor to serve Senior!"
An honor?
That was impossible!
But what could he do if he was unwilling?
Just as Sea Dragon True Lord grumbled inwardly!
A trace of satisfaction flashed through Venerable Guanping's eyes
