Mission Rewards

In the following period, many regions of Central Plains were plunged into violent turmoil.

Heavenly Mansion and Langya Pavilion launched a large-scale attack on the Soul Hall at the same time, and the battle directly affected half of Central Plains.

However, seemingly having anticipated this war, the Soul Hall Master reduced its outreach. By the time the experts from the Heavenly Mansion and Langya Pavilion arrived, most of the Soul Hall's branch halls were already deserted, and the few remaining ones had only a handful of people.

Langya Pavilion.

Xiao Han sat down with many of the high-ranking members of the Langya Pavilion once again.

Looking at the solemn crowd below, Xiao Han spoke in a deep voice.

"Now, let's begin reporting the results of each team's battles."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing reluctance. Then, the Second Elder gritted his teeth, stood up, and said loudly:

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, our attack this time yielded very few results."

"Few results?"

The Second Elder explained, "Those Soul Hall branch halls that we controlled back then were completely unguarded, so..."

Xiao Han nodded and looked at everyone. "Is this how you all are?"

The others nodded reluctantly. They had long been prepared to make a big splash, but now they felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.

"How's the investigation of the Earthly Fiend Branch Hall going?" Xiao Han changed the subject.

During this period, the attacks were only launched against the ordinary branch halls of the Soul Hall, which were scattered throughout the Central Plains Continent. Like the Protector of the Soul Hall, they were cannon fodder. The strongest among them could only reach the level of Dou Zun, and could be discarded at any time.

As one of the most important branch halls of the Soul Hall, it's not easy for the Earthly Fiend Branch Hall to relocate.

However, due to the successive attacks by the Langya Pavilion and Heavenly Mansion, many of the Soul Hall's Earthly Fiend Branch Hall were demolished and had to be renovated. Therefore, much intelligence needed to be gathered again.

Upon hearing this, Yi Huang stood up, raised her jade hand slightly, and a map of Central Plains was instantly displayed before everyone's eyes.

"Pfft~"

"This is..." Many people couldn't help but laugh when they saw the map.

This was not a mockery of Yi Huang's incompetence, but rather a laughable assessment of the distribution of the Soul Hall's Earthly Fiend Branch Hall, which perfectly embodied the Soul Hall's image of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

The twenty-four marks on the map represent twenty-four Earthly Fiend Branch Hall. To everyone's surprise, these branch halls of the Soul Hall are not evenly distributed.

Yi Huang smiled and introduced, "Just as this map shows, among the four regions of Central Plains, the Southern Region does not have any Earthly Fiend Branch Hall."

Everyone knew this perfectly well. It's no joke; the Southern Region was the stronghold of both the Langya Pavilion and the Starfall Pavilion. Opening a branch in the Southern Region was tantamount to handing meat to the mouths of these two Super faction.

Then, Yi Huang continued, "Since the Eastern Region is within the sphere of influence of the Gu Clan, the Soul Hall is not so rampant; there are only three of them."

There are six in the Western Regions and six in the Northern Region.

"There are more in the Central Region, a total of seven."

After all, the Pill Tower is located in the Central Region, which is the main area of the Soul Hall's achievements. It is obviously highly valued by the Soul Hall, and even though the Pill Tower has also joined the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, it cannot escape this.

"Apart from that, there are only two Beast Region, which are not worth mentioning."

After a pause, Yi Huang said, "Heavenly Mansion has already taken over the Earthly Fiend Branch Hall in the Central Region and Eastern Region, so there are only fourteen Earthly Fiend Branch Hall that we need to deal with."

"In that case..." Xiao Han pondered, "Let's destroy these branch halls."

"Each team shall be led by at least ten Langya Guards and a High Level Dou Zun Elder, equipped with Space Scroll, and seven Half-Saint level Vice Commander and Dou Sheng Elder shall be on standby to provide support."

Although Xiao Han had already allocated some resources to deal with the Earthly Fiend Branch Hall, he still chose a more prudent approach as a precaution, sending out powerful individuals to provide protection.

"This battle..."

Xiao Han looked around at everyone and said frankly, "It's for the sake of our Langya Pavilion, and it's also for yourselves."

"Those who make outstanding contributions will have all the necessary cultivation resources provided by the Langya Pavilion, and even..."

Xiao Han promised, "After you reach the Advanced Half-Saint, I, the Pavilion Master, will personally help you break through to the Dou Sheng!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of excitement. They had no doubt that their Pavilion Master was making empty promises, as his reputation had been absolutely guaranteed over the long term.

That's why they were so excited— Dou Sheng! Even in the Langya Pavilion, a super Super faction outside of the Ancient Races of Central Plains, where there are countless strong individuals, the number of Dou Sheng Expert is not that many.

Reaching the level of Dou Sheng means reaching the pinnacle of power in the world, which is like a powerful shot in the arm for those who pursue the path to ultimate strength.

Someone excitedly shouted, "We'll die for the Langya Pavilion!"

"We will die for the Langya Pavilion!" the crowd shouted in unison.

Watching the many figures stride confidently out of the hall, Yi Huang smiled and said, "You've certainly been generous this time."

"They even promised out the opportunity for Dou Sheng to break through."

Xiao Han smiled nonchalantly, "My opportunities aren't so easy to come by; they'll have to work hard."

Dou Sheng isn't something that can be achieved overnight. Therefore, Xiao Han's expectation was only three spots. In fact, if the level of achievement didn't meet his expectations, there wouldn't even be three.

However, he still hoped that more people would take the spots from him, so that at least in a few years, they would become a powerful force capable of destroying the Soul Hall.

"With such strong motivation, I believe the Soul Hall will feel the sincerity of our Langya Pavilion."

Xiao Han could already foresee the scene of the Soul Hall being beaten to a pulp by his own forces' bloodthirsty experts.

The principle of rewarding merit and punishing demerit is upheld, and Xiao Han has never been stingy with various benefits to enhance the enthusiasm of the members of the Pavilion.

So-called collective honor and loyalty are ethereal concepts; only tangible resources are truly attainable. As long as you provide enough, a sense of collective honor will naturally emerge.

Xiao Han snapped out of his thoughts and asked, "Have you made arrangements with Sound Valley as well?"

As Langya Pavilion's only ally, Xiao Han would not ignore the existence of Sound Valley. If the Soul Hall were to act rashly and target Sound Valley, it would be too late for regrets.

Yi Huang replied, "The Giant Force Saint and the Fairy Ling Yi have already passed away."

After witnessing Xiao Han's formidable strength, the Giant Force Saint chose to actively integrate into the Langya Pavilion. Naturally, Yi Huang was very welcoming of the addition of such a Dou Sheng Expert.

This is the first major mission the former has undertaken after gaining Yi Huang's trust.

As a survivor of the Spirit Clan, Ling Yi's cultivation speed increased rapidly after experiencing the pain of her clan's annihilation. Coupled with the open supply of resources, her cultivation level surpassed others, reaching the late stage of the fifth star, second only to Xiao Han in the Langya Pavilion.

Xiao Han completely trusted Yi Huang's arrangements. He believed she had a way to keep Ling Yi's identity a secret, so he didn't say anything more and nodded to indicate that the matter was over.

Subsequently, the entire Langya Pavilion mobilized, gathering its members and marching towards their respective goals without any concealment.

However, Xiao Han's plan was sound, but the outcome of the war did not proceed as he had anticipated.
