Chapter 415 342 Entering Xunyang

Chapter 415: Chapter 342: Entering Xunyang Chapter 415: Chapter 342: Entering Xunyang Wave Viewing Tower, top floor.

A young man in a black robe approached the window-side private room.

“Old Xu, it seems everyone has set off?” The young man asked as soon as he entered.

Xu Fengtian nodded, “Yes, Wang Xu, you came a bit late.”

“Haha, not late, not late. As long as there’s food, it’s fine. The Gui Xiang Stewed Duck from Wave Viewing Tower is top-notch, paired with Tide Sound Wine, absolutely delicious! I already instructed the shop to prepare it on my way up. It should be coming soon.”

Xu Fengtian couldn’t help but shake his head at the comment, “There’s a recruit from your Vermilion Bird unit here. I heard Xuanwu Imperial also took an interest in this recruit. Aren’t you a bit curious?”

Wang Xu waved his hand dismissively, “Hey, anyone who can enter our Sky Patrol Department is a good recruit.”

“That’s true…” Xu Fengtian nodded, feeling that made sense.

Wang Xu suddenly leaned closer and asked with a smile, “Since you’ve seen them, tell me, how is the person?”

Xu Fengtian was speechless for a moment, then after a brief thought, replied, “Can’t tell much. Didn’t talk much either. Compared to the other distinct personalities, this one seemed quite ordinary.”

“Oh?” Wang Xu’s interest was piqued even further, “In that case, perhaps they’re not ordinary at all.”

Xu Fengtian nodded. The recruits for this task were carefully selected, all with scores far exceeding the average recruit. How could they be ordinary?

In a group of extraordinary people, seeming ordinary often meant they were even more extraordinary.

“Dishes are here!” A voice came from outside.

Wang Xu said, “Bring them in.”

Gui Xiang Stewed Duck, Xiting Lake Crab, Glutinous Rice Cake… Various fresh dishes were carefully brought in by three waiters, filling most of the table.

“Please enjoy. If you need anything, just call us,” the waiter said courteously.

Wang Xu waved his hand, “Alright, you may leave.”

Xu Fengtian stared in surprise, “You were serious?”

Xu Fengtian tore a duck leg and started eating.

“Of course. In life, enjoyment is key. Good wine, good meat, and beautiful scenery should be savored. Otherwise, what are we cultivating for?”

Xu Fengtian solemnly said, “Of course, it’s to pursue the Upper Realm!”

“Upper Realm?” Wang Xu shook his head slightly, “Even with the hope of Burning Sun, the position of King Level is not easy to contend for…”

Xu Fengtian replied, “Earth Tribulation is approaching. It is both a catastrophe and an opportunity. Perhaps both of us will have a chance!”

Wang Xu laughed, “For that slim chance, who knows how many people will die? Old Xu, if you want to fight for it, you’d better be mentally prepared.”

“Even if we don’t fight, as people of the Sky Patrol Department, we can’t avoid it. It might be better to fight.”

“Not being able to avoid it and being at the center of the whirlpool are two different things.”

Xu Fengtian was momentarily speechless, pondering silently.

Indeed, everything had degrees. Being at the center of the whirlpool could mean certain death for ordinary people!

Wang Xu laughed and poured wine for Xu Fengtian, “Come, come, eat and drink well. Don’t think too much for now. I know your cultivation has improved over the years. Let’s first advance to Burning Sun.”

Xu Fengtian nodded and ate quickly, “Then let’s eat quickly. We still have to keep an eye on those little guys.”

Wang Xu leisurely drank a sip of wine, “No rush. After entering the Xunyang Domain tomorrow, we might encounter the first wave of obstacles…”

Xu Fengtian pondered, “The difficulty of this task seems a bit high. With the list leaked early, everyone who should come will surely come, especially towards the end…”

Wang Xu shook his head and said seriously, “If we can’t even complete this escort task, how can we handle the other matter?”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu’s expression turned slightly serious.

The participants of this task, whether it was Xiong Chunyang of the West Desert Twelve Evil Stars, Tang Jiao, the best from the Northern Military District’s Special Forces, Lin Chongyun, the contemporary disciple of Zicheng Mountain, or Su Yuan, known as the number one student of the Great Flame, were all extraordinarily talented.

Gathering these elite recruits for this task was actually a step to find the right candidates for another mission…

The Xunyang Domain was an expansive area to the northwest of the Great Flame.

In this vast region, bathed in sunlight all year round, the concentration of Fire Elements was high, producing a large amount of fire-related materials annually, both high and low quality.

Additionally, there were many fire-related Secret Realms. Over 50% of the Star Card Masters in this region were focused on the Fire Element.

To travel from the Great Flame to Yanluo Country, one had to pass through the western part of the Xunyang Domain.

At this moment, more than a day had passed since departure.

Even with the prison transport, the Detention Team’s speed wasn’t slow, as they were all at Shining Star Level!

Among the advancing Detention Team, the escort personnel from the North Pole Prison occasionally chatted.

As for Su Yuan and the other three, there wasn’t much to say.

If not for this task, they would still be strangers.

After yesterday, Xiong Chunyang was even running alone at the front of the team.

Su Yuan, Tang Jiao, and Lin Chongyun were at the back of the team.

After passing through the plains and entering the rugged hills, Su Yuan noticed the surrounding air becoming hotter.

“This area is already part of the Xunyang Domain. Be cautious! Also, it’s getting dark, stay alert!”

Wu Jianghao loudly instructed his subordinates, then approached Su Yuan and the others.

“Everyone, we are in the Xunyang Domain,” Wu Jianghao’s voice was serious. “If any trouble arises, please lend a hand.”

Wu Jianghao spoke loudly, also to ensure Xiong Chunyang at the front heard.

Xiong Chunyang immediately grinned, looking a bit excited.

Tang Jiao said seriously, “Manager Wu, don’t worry. We will do our best.”

Lin Chongyun heightened his vigilance, immediately expanding his senses to scan the surroundings.

Wu Jianghao cupped his hands and smiled, “Thank you!”

Tang Jiao, being from the Northern Military District like Wu Jianghao, had a closer relationship with him, and naturally, Wu Jianghao trusted her more.

After reminding everyone, Wu Jianghao went to the front to instruct his subordinates and arrange the night scouts…

In the Solid Rock Cage on the right side, Wei Jinxiang, with his hands and feet bound, looked at Su Yuan and the others at the back of the team, then at the direction of travel, his eyes filled with complexity and anxiety.

Wei Jinxiang knew well that his brother, Wei Jinrui, would surely come to save him!

So at this moment, Wei Jinxiang felt conflicted. The closer they got to the Xunyang Domain, the more he felt troubled.

He hoped to be rescued and escape, yet he also felt that it wouldn’t be simple. If his brother really came to rescue him, there might be unexpected changes.

“Hope everything goes smoothly!”

As Wei Jinxiang was thinking, he suddenly felt a chilling gaze on him. Turning his head, he saw a pale-faced, green-eyed youth in the middle cage.

The youth stared at him with emotionless eyes, those green pupils were like the cold eyes of a poisonous snake.

The youth quickly lowered his head after their eyes met, hugging his knees and curling up silently in the Solid Rock Prison, appearing dazed.

“This kid gives me a creepy feeling…”

Wei Jinxiang shuddered inexplicably, shaking off the unsettling thoughts, thinking the other prisoners had nothing to do with him.

Dawn broke, the morning light shining brightly, and the night passed without incident.

Yao Star Level vision was affected at night.

So, during the night, Wu Jianghao was genuinely worried about a prison break.

Wu Jianghao breathed a sigh of relief, reorganized the scouts, and the Detention Team moved forward without a break.

Given everyone’s strength, this pace could be kept up for three to four continuous days.

Approaching noon, as everyone passed through a forest, Lin Chongyun glanced calmly towards a direction.

“We’re being watched,” Lin Chongyun quietly informed.

“Hmm?” Tang Jiao’s expression grew tense.

Lin Chongyun said, “About two kilometers to the east, low altitude.”

Su Yuan’s eyes focused, silvery leaf-like patterns in his pupils lit up, activating All-Knowing Vision to scan ahead.

Soon, he spotted a few Fire Sparrows playing on a low hill.

These Fire Sparrows were no more than Star Apprentice-level Star Beasts, as insignificant as ants to Su Yuan and the others.

The unusual fact was one Fire Sparrow quietly spectating the escort team, its eyes showing a hint of human-like intelligence.

“Indeed, a spell for vision borrowing,” Su Yuan noted, reassessing Lin Chongyun.

This person’s perception was incredibly sharp, possibly surpassing his own.

Lin Chongyun asked, “Any ideas?”

Tang Jiao thought briefly, “Given we’ve been spotted, they shouldn’t be far. I’ll scout ahead. Inform Manager Wu and Xiong Chunyang.”

“Agreed,” Lin Chongyun and Su Yuan nodded.

Tang Jiao formed a seal with her hands. A black light flickered and disappeared from her body.

Her expression turned vacant, revealing an avatar left in place.

The clone maintained the same speed as Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun. As for Tang Jiao’s true self…

Through the True Vision of the All-Knowing Vision, Su Yuan saw Tang Jiao’s invisible self speeding ahead.

Lin Chongyun precisely tracked Tang Jiao’s hidden figure, watching her leave.

Such perception was remarkably keen, likely at the Master Level or higher, with passive enhancement to his awareness and insight.

None of the others, including Xiong Chunyang and Wu Jianghao, noticed anything.

Just as the invisible Tang Jiao was nearly out of sight, the pale-faced green-eyed youth in the middle Solid Rock Cage suddenly raised his head, glancing at Tang Jiao’s back.

The youth’s eyes briefly flashed green. He smirked slightly, aware something interesting was about to occur…
