Seeing that it was Liiu Qiui leading the team, Lu Yuanshan was slightly surprised.
Because the number of people in this team reached five hundred.
Among them, there were eighteen Crystallization Stage Cultivators.
The rest were all Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Among the Crystallization Stage Cultivators, aside from Liiu Qiui, the other sixteen were unknown to Lu Yuanshan.
As for the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator teammates, there were two familiar faces.
Xuu Qingci from Cold Moon Palace and Xu Shouye were these two familiar fellows participating in the mission together.
After Lu Yuanshan was assigned to this team, Liiu Qiui quickly noticed Lu Yuanshan. She was sowhat surprised when she noticed Lu Yuanshan’s cultivation.
"Elder Liiu, a pleasure to et you."
Being appraised by Liiu Qiui, Lu Yuanshan responded with a faint smile.
"You have quite the talent. I rember seeing you at Nine Cold Mountain just a few years ago."
"At that ti, your cultivation was rely at the Early-stage Foundation Establishnt."
As she spoke, a hint of admiration appeared in Liiu Qiui’s eyes, "Who would have thought, your current cultivation has already reached the Fourth Layer Crystallization Stage."
The cultivation concealing magic used by Lu Yuanshan had little effect in Liiu Qiui’s eyes.
During those years when her cultivation was stalled at the Late-stage Crystallization, she practiced many cultivation techniques and divine techniques.
Among them, was one that enabled her to see through such concealnt and cultivation-level masking techniques like those used by Lu Yuanshan.
"Elder Liiu, your insight is truly remarkable."
Upon having his cultivation level discerned, Lu Yuanshan was initially surprised.
However, he quickly realized that, being Elder Jiang’s favored disciple, it was not surprising for Liiu Qiui to possess such abilities.
"My master and your father, Elder Lu, are old acquaintances. There’s no need to distinguish seniority between us."
"If you don’t mind, just call Qiui."
Liiu Qiui gave a faint smile, showing none of the airs of a Crystallization Cultivator, wishing to change Lu Yuanshan’s habit of calling her ’Elder.’
Being called ’Elder Liiu’ made her feel old, especially since she was still young at heart.
"Hahaha."
Lu Yuanshan chuckled lightly upon hearing this and nodded slightly, not declining the suggestion.
Soon after, Liiu Qiui and Lu Yuanshan chatted privately for a few monts, discussing Lu Ping and the Cyan Mountain Sect. These were simple queries, more like catching up on old tis.
Lu Yuanshan also took note of Liiu Qiui’s strength, seeing that she had already reached the Ninth Layer Crystallization Stage and was fully capable of advancing to the Golden Core Stage.
Observing Liiu Qiui’s age, she seed to be only in her early twenties, appearing remarkably young.
Even though cultivators know so arts to retain their youthful appearance, according to Lu Yuanshan’s knowledge, Liiu Qiui’s true age was comparable to his own.
Given their similar ages, Lu Yuanshan could even call Liiu Qiui ’Little Sister Liiu’.
"Everyone, please quiet down."
Soon, after Wind Yuzi arranged other combat teams, he proceeded towards Lu Yuanshan and the others.
"Everyone, your task this ti is sowhat special. You are to head to the Southern Wilderness Forest to assist Elder Jiang in battling demon beasts."
Wind Yuzi’s information caused Lu Yuanshan, Xuu Qingci, and others to secretly marvel.
Elder Jiang here in the Southern Wilderness? Furthermore, why would an esteed Golden Core Ancestor like Elder Jiang need assistance from us Crystallization and Foundation Establishnt Cultivators?
As so were about to inquire about the reason behind this, Wind Yuzi continued, "At the Southern Wilderness Frontline, you will join forces with several Earth-level teams to assist Elder Jiang together."
"Elder Jiang’s opponent is a Tier Four Demon King of the Southern Wilderness Demon Race and wouldn’t lower his status to deal with demon beasts below Tier Four."
"Therefore, dealing with the demon beasts below Tier Four will be left to you."
Upon hearing Wind Yuzi’s words, Lu Yuanshan and others suddenly realized.
After organizing the team, a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator from the Dubhe Institute operated a flying ship, leading Lu Yuanshan and his group towards the Southern Wilderness Frontline battlefield.
The destination was a place called Crane Cry Town, the closest strategic point to the Southern Wilderness Forest, where an Earth-level team was stationed.
When the group arrived at the Southern Wilderness Frontline, Crane Cry Town, new Earth-level teams had also reached the location.
"Everyone, this is Crane Cry Town. Unlike other battlefields, Tier Three Demon Beasts frequently appear here. Please act with caution and avoid reckless actions," Liiu Qiui advised.
She was very familiar with this place, having led several Earth-level teams here for combat before. She knew the demon beast situation here well, thus giving everyone a good-hearted reminder.
Liiu Qiui, as the team leader, had her strength widely recognized by everyone.
Moreover, being Elder Jiang’s direct disciple, her combat power was among the top in the Crystallization Stage.
"Mm, thank you, Elder Liiu, for the reminder."
Xuu Qingci slightly bowed her head, speaking sparingly, displaying genuine respect for Liiu Qiui.
"Yes, the junior will rember Elder Liiu’s advice!"
"We will rember!"
"Everyone, please do not act recklessly."
The others also responded in turn, so bowed or nodded towards Liiu Qiui.
"Everyone, may you return triumphantly."
The Dubhe Institute’s Foundation Establishnt Cultivator operating the flying ship said this, preparing to set off back.
Liiu Qiui’s beautiful eyes faintly glanced at the Dubhe Institute’s Foundation Establishnt Cultivator operating the flying ship, nodding slightly as a farewell.
Afterward, she casually swept her gaze over Lu Yuan and the others before stepping onto a sword light and gliding gently down the flying ship.
Seeing this, the rest of the group hurriedly operated their magical artifacts, following Liiu Qiui and descending from the flying ship.
One by one, figures descended from the sky, drawing the attention of many Foundation Establishnt and Crystallization Stage Cultivators in Crane Cry Town who looked up to watch.
Lu Yuanshan utilized his Wind Thunder Wings, descending while glancing around, searching for Elder Jiang.
As the founder of Nine Cold Mountain and the foremost person in the Loose Cultivator Realm of Lingxi State, Elder Jiang’s reputation was truly thunderous.
But this Elder Jiang was elusive, and even after surveying the area while landing, Lu Yuanshan still hadn’t caught sight of Elder Jiang.
anwhile, witnessing the new Earth-level teams landing here, various Earth-level teams began to approach, introducing themselves to facilitate upcoming combat operations.
Once everyone had landed in Crane Cry Town, they took a brief rest, familiarizing themselves with the surroundings and investigating the number of demon beasts in the area.
The surrounding, yet to engage Earth-level teams gradually gathered around Lu Yuanshan’s group, all assembling to collaborate in combat against the demon beast group.
"Liiu Daoist, I was just chatting with Li Dao You, speculating which Daoist would lead the new arriving team, and as it turns out, I guessed correctly."
"Hahaha, it really is you, not Luo Yu Daoist."
A gray-haired old man with a small goatee walked towards Liiu Qiui, laughing as he spoke.
