Chapter 146 Special Mission
Soon after, Xia Yuhui arrived at the meeting point. When Luoyun Daoist saw Xia Yuhui, he immediately smiled and nodded at him.
"Daoist Chi Lei, it's been a long time. It seems your cultivation has improved again. But I'm truly flattered."
That's right. After three years of hard work and cultivation, Xia Yuhui successfully broke through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
"Haha, it's just because they've digested what they gained last time. As far as I know, most of the surviving cultivators have broken through to the next level." Xia Yuhui didn't deny his talent this time either.
With his current rapid growth, even if he wanted to hide it, no one would believe him; everyone would think that Xia Yuhui is a genius.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Yun, what brings these fellow Daoists here? Where are our team members?"
As soon as Xia Yuhui arrived, he noticed something was wrong. The five or six cultivators who had come here were all strangers, and apart from him and Daoist Luoyun, no one from their team had arrived yet.
Daoist Luoyun smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, to be honest with Fellow Daoist Xia, this time it's not our team acting alone. We're going to carry out a special mission."
"Oh, what kind of mission is it?"
Upon hearing what Daoist Luoyun said, Xia Yuhui became nervous. He was most afraid of this kind of special mission, especially one at such a critical time.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xia, you're as cautious as ever," Daoist Luoyun teased when he saw Xia Yuhui's expression change immediately.
However, Xia Yuhui did not reply, but waited quietly for an answer.
Seeing that Xia Yuhui did not speak, Daoist Luoyun felt bored and said, "This time, we are going to inspect the situation of the monsters in the northern border to see if the beast tide has truly ended. Before that, we have already sent out dozens of teams."
"However, all the news came back good. This is the last time for us. After this, as long as nothing unusual happens in the northern border region, we can go back."
Xia Yuhui nodded slightly after hearing this, but his tightly furrowed brows revealed his nervousness.
This world is full of surprises.
Seeing that he was still like this, Daoist Luoyun immediately smiled and led him into the crowd, "Fellow Daoist Xia, please rest assured, take a look at the strength of us."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at everyone. Xia Yuhui released his divine sense in confusion to investigate everyone's cultivation level.
Everyone cooperated well and did not hide anything. Soon, Xia Yuhui knew the cultivation levels of everyone. Including himself and Luo Yun Daoist, there were two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and seven mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Not even a single early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could be seen.
"Besides these people, three more people in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and one of my junior brothers with the cultivation of the late-Foundation Establishment stage will be arriving later."
After learning the full extent of these people's strength, Xia Yuhui's brows relaxed, but his heart grew increasingly uneasy. With such formidable strength, they were likely to venture deep into the northern frontier.
To be honest, if it weren't for this mission, he probably wouldn't want to set foot in the northern frontier again for at least ten years; it's too dangerous.
After informing Xia Yuhui of the truth, Daoist Luoyun summoned two more people, and the four of them formed a small group and chatted.
"Oh, right, Fellow Daoist Xia, I forgot to tell you, a few months ago, the sect leader came out of seclusion and told me that after this mission is completed, you can come to him to receive two Undying Lightning Bolts." Daoist Luoyun transmitted his voice directly to Lou Xia Yuhui during their casual conversation.
"Thank you for letting me know!" Xia Yuhui replied telepathically.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui had already cursed the entire Black Cloud Taoist family in his heart. He had waited for three whole years, only to receive another mission.
He secretly vowed that he would never again believe a single word of nonsense from any cultivator of the Guiyun Sect.
Back in reality, Xia Yuhui chatted and became acquainted with the other two cultivators. These two, like Luo Yun Dao Ren, came from the Battle Hall of Guiyun Sect and were named Liu Ji and He Zun. Luo Yun Dao Ren was the deputy hall master of the Battle Hall.
The other late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who had not yet arrived was also the deputy hall master of the Battle Hall.
Xia Yuhui knew that his seventh uncle, Xia Guangyan, was a member of the Pill Hall in the Guiyun Sect. Last time, Xia Guangyan was placed in the formation by the higher-ups of the Pill Hall because of his high talent in alchemy, thus avoiding being killed.
Besides these two departments, Guiyun Sect also has many other departments, such as the Enforcement Hall, the Weapon Refining Hall, and the Spirit Plant Hall...
The largest and most powerful among them is the Battle Hall, and the leader of the Battle Hall is the current sect leader of Guiyun Sect, Heiyun Daoren. That's right, Luoyun Daoren and Heiyun Daoren were taught by the same master.
The two were fellow disciples, so most Guiyun Sect cultivators would respectfully address Luoyun Daoist as Senior Brother.
There's no way around it; not only is he incredibly powerful, but his backing is also extremely strong. Even the hall masters treat Luo Yun Dao Ren with utmost respect.
Before long, the others arrived as well, and Cao Tai, the deputy leader of the Battle Hall, walked over to Luo Yun Dao Ren and joined their circle.
"Junior Brother Cao, you've finally arrived! A whole bunch of us have been waiting for you."
Cao Tai smiled calmly, "There's nothing I can do. There are just too many sect missions. I just got rid of those tedious things."
"Then you must correct this next time. Come, let me introduce you. This is Xia Yuhui from the Xia family of Jinling County, also known as Daoist Chi Lei. You should have heard of him even if I don't say it." As he spoke, Daoist Luo Yun suddenly began to introduce Xia Yuhui.
Xia Yuhui dared not be presumptuous and immediately stepped forward to bow to Cao Tai, saying, "Fellow Daoist Cao, I have long admired your reputation!"
"Hehe, I have heard of Fellow Daoist Xia's reputation, especially after you killed that demonic python last time. You really made a name for yourself. I'm afraid the whole ancient kingdom knows about this Crimson Old Ghost now."
Cao Tai did not return the gift, but instead jokingly teased Xia Yuhui.
Xia Yuhui immediately sensed that the man's words were a bit aggressive, but he didn't dare to show it. In his eyes, Cao Tai was just a clown. If they really fought, Cao Tai might not be his match.
A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation, let alone after three years.
Now, his sea of consciousness has reached its limit. The next step can only be the divine sense that only the Golden Core stage can withstand. Therefore, if Xia Yuhui wants to make progress in his divine sense, he can only compress his divine sense to purify it.
With proper coordination and the Soul Devouring Technique, he was quite confident he could take down a mere late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Of course, that was all he could do; his other attacks couldn't compare to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
If one day this move fails, then facing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would be nothing short of suicide.
"Alright, if you two want to talk, then wait until after this mission is over. Senior Brother Gu, we've been waiting for a long time, let's set off." Seeing his junior brother acting recklessly, Daoist Luoyun immediately interrupted their conversation.
