When he said this, he specifically looked towards Luo Chen.
"To tell the truth, with our lineup, we can even take on a Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator. And yet, our prey is rely an Early Stage Cultivator. If you say there’s nothing formidable about him, then this assessnt task is way too easy, as if we are being granted a free pass."
"In this world, there probably aren’t such good things for free!"
Facing his gaze, Luo Chen also nodded in agreent.
Even when he confird that the benefits outweighed the risks, what still needed consideration was the reason Duan Li had ntioned.
The task, it’s too easy!
The Fishing Elder laughed, his face creased with wrinkles, crumpled together like a piece of wrinkled paper.
"Quite cautious!"
"Originally, these details were intended to be discussed on the way there, but since you all are in such a hurry, then I’ll just speak plainly!"
"The true na of our prey is unknown, his alias is unknown, what formidable techniques he possesses is even more unknown. He’s hiding on a small island near the Quyang Sea Area, and the reason he has beco a target of the Wanxian Palace’s hunt is because of the hidden Array he has laid out, which is the famous Ten Directions Wuying Formation of the Yuan Mo Sect."
"Anyone who can master the Ten Directions Wuying Formation, or possesses the Array Setting Tools for such a Formation, must certainly be a true disciple of the Yuan Mo Sect."
"It is well known that to beco a Star Ranked Demon Hunter of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, the first rule to abide by is to kill on sight any remnants of the Yuan Mo Sect!"
"This mission can also be considered your letter of challenge."
His words were said with a smile, gentle yet with a decisive tone.
Upon reaching the ears of the three people, it was like a thunderclap, causing a dramatic change in their expressions!
Remnant of Yuan Mo, Golden Core True Disciple!
Not giving the three any more space to think, the Fishing Elder dropped his smile, and directly asked:
"This task, will you accept it or not?"
Looking at each other, Hao Ye was the first to nod emphatically, "Accept!"
After pondering for a mont, Luo Chen also nodded solemnly, "Accepted."
The quite renowned Duan Li had been hesitant at first, but seeing that Luo Chen, a cultivator of a higher realm, had also accepted the task, that hesitation was decisively cut off.
"Duan Li, is also willing to join."
Seeing that the three had accepted the task, the smile once again appeared on the Fishing Elder’s face.
"Such is good!"
"For this assessnt task, I will act as the supervising envoy to record the entire process of the mission."
"We shall et at the Longyuan Teleportation Formation early tomorrow morning, I hope the three of you won’t be late."
...
Walking out of the Demon Hunter Bureau, Luo Chen hadn’t gone far when he was called by Hao Ye.
"Qingyang Zi, do you have ti for a chat?"
"What about?"
Hao Ye smiled slightly, "Naturally, it’s about the assessnt task. After all, the target is a Golden Core True Disciple of the Yuan Mo Sect. Even if the three of us join forces, we can’t underestimate a Holy Land True Disciple. Before we set off, it would be helpful to understand each other a bit more to facilitate our cooperation."
Indeed!
The strength of a regular Sect True Disciple is already stronger than that of a Rogue Cultivator, let alone a Holy Land True Disciple?
Even an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator of the sa realm as them would not be so easy to deal with.
This Hao Ye, who had seed so confident earlier, eagerly volunteering to take on the task, had seed to be impulsive, but it turns out he also had his own considerations.
Luo Chen pondered for a long ti before suddenly asking, "Just the two of us?"
The implication of his words was that he was willing to have the chat.
Hao Ye’s spirits lifted, and he nudged his mouth toward a direction, "Friend Duan Li has been waiting for a long ti."
Looking in that direction, at the window of a restaurant across the street, the elegant Duan Li was nodding gently towards Luo Chen.
"In that case, let’s have a chat!"
Luo Chen said with an easy smile, following behind Hao Ye and stepping into that restaurant.
...
That chat lasted an entire afternoon.
During such an extended period, the content discussed was not only limited to the assessnt task, but more of it was about rumors related to the Wanxian Palace.
When they left the restaurant, the sun was setting.
Luo Chen glanced back at the private room, with a smirk in his heart.
"It seems that everyone is full of confidence in passing this assessnt task!"
"All talk about being cautious and careful, yet in reality, they’ve already started fantasizing about life in the Wanxian Palace after becoming a Four-Star Demon Hunter."
"I, actually, am no different!"
After a self-mocking laugh, Luo Chen also realized why this situation had arisen.
The destruction of the high and mighty Divine Transformation Holy Land had shattered the unreachable image of the Holy Lands that lood over the heads of all ordinary cultivators.
If a Holy Land can be broken, then how can its cultivators be invincible?
Especially, it was three against one, with the Eight-Star Demon Hunter Fishing Elder overseeing, with absolutely no chance of failure!
The so-called assessnt task, in their eyes, seed more like a re formality.
Everyone was already impatient to settle in the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, eager to enjoy the blessings of a Third Order Spirit Land!
After returning to the Zhang Family Courtyard.
Luo Chen imdiately summoned Tian Xuan.
"I will be leaving Longyuan City tomorrow."
Tian Xuan was taken aback and asked subconsciously, "Is it that assessnt mission?"
Luo Chen nodded, "Yes, this mission will take a short as one day, or as long as three days. During my absence, I need you to do sothing for ."
Tian Xuan’s expression turned serious, "Please command , Master!"
"No need to be so nervous, it’s just a small matter," Luo Chen said with a slight smile, "Rember the guide who helped find a boat at the Giant Whale Port?"
Tian Xuan hesitated, "I rember, his na is Liu Fu."
"Right, make a return trip, find him and have him spread the word about the affairs of Coldlight Island. And it would be best to have the results of the battle of Coldlight Island transmitted to the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering through Giant Whale Port."
Tian Xuan was puzzled. Why hadn’t this been done earlier?
Why wait until now to take action? Was it a sudden whim from the master?
However, since he was assigned a task, he must carry it out!
Tian Xuan thought for a mont and then asked, "Should we highlight the Master’s glory in that battle?"
Luo Chen gave him a look that said it all, having fled in such a disheveled way, what glory was there to speak of.
"That won’t be necessary, focus mainly on the great battle between the four Nascent Soul True Masters of both the righteous and demonic paths. However, in the process, make sure to include . It’s not difficult, as the battle of Coldlight Island, being the fuse for the great righteous-demonic war, has already spread far and wide. All you need to do is to add so details."
"You might not be aware, but human cultivators always delight in the details of rumors, to enhance the credibility and value of their discussions."
"You just need to add a bit of fuel, and this fire will burn even brighter."
Tian Xuan, sowhat understanding yet not, had nevertheless committed Luo Chen’s words deeply to mory.
...
The following morning arrived early.
In Longyuan City, inside Wanxian Palace.
Three Golden Core Cultivators waited quietly.
Before long, the Fishing Elder with his greying hair and beard appeared before the three.
Without much small talk, he simply said one sentence.
"Follow !"
Luo Chen and the other two followed him, entering the depths of Wanxian Palace, and eventually stopped in a grand hall guarded by nurous soldiers.
Their gaze fell upon the ornate and dimly lit round platform, and a hint of surprise flickered in Luo Chen’s eyes.
A Teleportation Formation!
Such a rare sight in the Eastern Wasteland, yet quite commonplace in the North Sea Cultivation World.
The reason for this was the vast territory of the North Sea, with immortals’ islands often separated by vast oceans.
Because of wars, because of comrce, because of the needs of so high-order cultivators, over ti, teleportation formations beca widespread.
However, as far as he knew, most of the teleportation formations in the North Sea were for short-distance travel.
He had never heard of anything like the Super Teleportation Formation under Cangwu Mountain’s Transmitting Truth Hall which covered a large part of the Mountain Sea Realm.
Seeing the three inspecting the Teleportation Formation, the Fishing Elder ordered the activation while explaining.
"This Teleportation Formation is a targeted Teleportation Formation, only aiming in the three directions of the Three Oceans Defensive Line."
"Normally, if you want to activate it once, it would cost a million Spirit Stones. Even with the Demon Hunter discount, the starting price is still several hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
"This mission assessnt is free of charge, but if you want to use it in the future, aside from special warti summons, you’ll have to pay with your own Spirit Stones."
Hearing this price made the three inwardly gasp.
An average Golden Core Cultivator’s net worth is around a million Spirit Stones.
Who would be willing to be so extravagant?
Better to use Qi Power and fly by oneself.
Luo Chen thought even further: it seems that the Immortal Cultivation World is no different from mortals; food, clothing, housing, and transportation can all be monetized.
And even, the ans are more ruthless than those of mortals.
"Alright, it’s ward up, co on up!"
The Fishing Elder said, then went straight onto the Teleportation Formation and stood in the central position.
Luo Chen and the others didn’t hesitate and imdiately stepped onto it.
Throughout this process, although Luo Chen and Duan Li were observing, they maintained their composure.
However, Hao Ye’s visible skin was sotis tense, clearly unable to control his nervousness.
"Is he that nervous?"
Luo Chen muttered to himself in his heart.
Then, under the direction of the Wanxian Palace cultivators, the dim Teleportation Formation burst into bright Spirit Light.
When all the Spirit Light extinguished, there was no longer anyone to be seen on the high platform.
