The Squad's Secret Mission

Her face was cold and beautiful, her eyes were sharp as an eagle, and her aura was murderous. She was Huangfu Chenyin, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Immortal Alliance.

"Yes, sir." Huangfu Chenyin's voice was clear and cold, without the slightest hesitation.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Huangfu Chenyin's tracking skills were unparalleled among the righteous sects, and with her leading the team, they were mostly safe.

"We still need one or two deputies," Zhang Jianchen said thoughtfully. "One should be skilled in formation defense, in case of an attack along the way, and the other should be a native cultivator of Flying Immortal Prefecture, familiar with the situation Flying Immortal Prefecture."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd below, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Wang Heng suddenly spoke up, "Alliance Leader, I recommend someone, Li Yunjing, the head of the Luozhen Sect. He has already reached the Dao Union Perfection Realm, is calm and steady, and acts prudently. He is capable of taking on this responsibility."

Furthermore, he was a native cultivator of Flying Immortal Prefecture and was familiar with the situation Flying Immortal Prefecture.

In an instant, countless eyes turned to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing's heart stirred, but his face remained impassive. He rose and bowed, saying, "This junior is willing to go and obey the Alliance Leader's orders."

The crowd sized up Li Yunjing, their expressions varying.

Some people think Wang Heng is mentoring a younger generation, while others think that a second-rate sect leader might not have the ability to do so.

Zhang Jianchen's gaze fell on Li Yunjing, and after carefully examining him for a moment, he nodded slightly. "Sect Leader Li, you've already reached the Dao Union Perfection at such a young age; your talent is extraordinary. Alright, you'll be counted in."

He paused, then added, "Let's also add Elder Tie Shan from the Black Iron Sect. Elder Tie Shan is skilled in defensive formations; with him around, we'll be safe."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and a burly, dark-faced old man in the back row stood up, his voice booming. "I obey!"

Elder Tie Shan, with Dao Union Perfection Integration cultivation, possessed unparalleled defensive Cultivation Method, and his Black Iron Grand Formation was renowned for its impregnability.

With him around, even if they encounter a master of the same level from the demonic path, they can hold out until reinforcements arrive.

At this point, the three-person team was settled.

Huangfu Chenyin led the team, primarily responsible for tracking and reconnaissance, Elder Tie Shan focused on defensive formations; Li Yunjing was in charge of guiding the way.

The three members each have their own strengths, they complement each other well, and their cultivation levels are sufficient, making them an elite squad.

He knew in his heart that the Alliance Leader and the Third Elder were intentionally grooming him.

If they succeed in finding the Origin Dao Physique, it will be a Major Merit, and the status of the Luozhen Sect accordingly. Even if they fail, there will be no great responsibility, since it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, following Huangfu Chenyin and Elder Tie Shan, two veteran Dao Union experts, ensures safety and allows one to build connections and broaden horizons.

He remembered this favor.

Zhang Jianchen then instructed, "The three of you, make preparations after you return today. The two Loose Immortal Ancestors are currently divination of that person's location, and it will take some time."

Once the simulation is complete, I will send someone to inform you. After receiving the message, you should depart immediately.

Remember, this trip must be kept secret and not publicized. Tell others that you are going to Flying Immortal Prefecture to inspect the Spiritual Qi Tide.

Once the person is found, immediately send a message back, then lead the person back via a detour, not the original route.

"And remember again, the first priority is to bring back the Origin Dao Physique, and the second is to ensure your own safety."

If you encounter a powerful demonic cultivator, retreat if you are no match for them. Do not linger in battle. If you are killed, you can be found again. But if you lose your life, you lose everything.

"Yes, sir!" the three replied in unison.

Next, the group discussed the specifics of the army's departure: the number of troops each sect would send, the supply of provisions, the marching route, the selection of the vanguard, and so on.

One by one, the tasks were arranged in an orderly manner.

Li Yunjing sat in his seat, listening attentively and memorizing each of the plans.

He could tell that although the Immortal Alliance was in a hurry, it had a deep foundation and arranged all matters in an orderly manner, clearly not the first time it had dealt with such a major battle.

The meeting continued until the afternoon.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Wang Heng walked to Li Yunjing's side and whispered, "Come with me."

Li Yunjing nodded and followed him out of the council hall to a secluded side hall.

After dismissing everyone around him, Wang Heng took out a Storage Bag from his sleeve and handed it to him. "There are three Realm-Breaking Talisman inside. In times of crisis, they can Rend Space and escape. Even a Void Refinement Perfection can't stop you. There's also a Origin Sensing Pearl, which can enhance your perception of primal energy, making it much easier to find people."

Also, take some healing pills and defensive talismans with you.

Li Yunjing accepted the Storage Bag without hesitation, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Third Elder."

"No need for thanks." Wang Heng looked at him, his tone serious. "This trip is dangerous, unlike the sects. Flying Immortal Prefecture is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and there are countless spies from the demonic path. If your whereabouts are exposed, you will surely face death."

Huangfu Chenyin is strong-willed, Elder Tie Shan Tieshan is straightforward. You should be careful and consider things carefully before acting.

"I understand."

"Also, after finding the Origin Dao Physique, protect that person." Wang Heng paused, then added, "No matter their identity or cultivation level, as long as they possess the Origin Dao Physique, they are the hope of our righteous path. Even if it costs us our lives, we cannot allow them to fall into the hands of the demonic path."

Li Yunjing's expression turned serious. "This junior will remember."

Wang Heng sighed, his tone softening slightly. "Don't worry about Qianxue. If anything happens to her, I will take care of the Luozhen Sect. Just focus on your work and come back alive."

"Yes."

After leaving the side hall, Li Yunjing went straight back to the other courtyard.

Fang Hexuan had been waiting anxiously. Seeing him return, he hurriedly came forward to greet him, "Yunjing, how did it go? What did they discuss in the meeting?"

Li Yunjing entered the hall, sat down, took a sip of tea, and then briefly recounted the contents of the meeting.

When they heard about the Origin Dao Physique and that Li Yunjing was going to lead a team to Flying Immortal Prefecture, the three of them were all surprised.

"Sect Leader, are you going personally?" Mu You frowned. "There might be demonic forces lying in ambush in Flying Immortal Prefecture. It's too dangerous! Why don't I go with you?"

"No need." Li Yunjing shook his head. "This trip must be kept secret. Too many people will only draw attention. I will go with Elder Huangfu and Elder Tie Shan. We will be safe."

The three of you will travel with the Immortal Alliance army to the Immortal Alliance Chaos Abyss and follow their orders. The sects are already making arrangements, so you don't need to worry."

Fang Hexuan pursed his lips. "Yunjing, you must be careful. The demonic path is full of tricks; don't fall into their trap."

"I know what I'm doing," Li Yunjing said. "Go back and pack your things. The army will be setting off in three days; don't be late."

"Yes."

After the three left, Li Yunjing sat alone in the hall, tapping his fingertips on the table.

The Origin Dao Physique, the Chaos Abyss, the demonic army, internal and external troubles... This game is bigger than he imagined.

He had a premonition that this trip to Flying Immortal Prefecture would not be smooth sailing.

Li Yunjing's premonition was quite accurate. What he didn't know was that a conspiracy against them had already been quietly unfolding in the shadows.

As night deepened, Heaven-Soaring City remained brightly lit, yet solemn and quiet.

Deep within a secluded chamber in the courtyard of the Heavenly Evolution Sect Immortal Alliance, Lu Tianji dismissed all his disciples and sat alone on a futon.

His refined and gentle demeanor during the day had vanished, and in the dim light, his face appeared somewhat gloomy.

He ran his fingers over a jet-black bone talisman. The talisman was cold to the touch, its surface engraved with intricate demonic runes. Unless one looked closely, one could not detect a trace of demonic energy.
