“This time will be no different.”

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng displayed a dawning realization.

He already had an inkling of what the Vermilion Bird was about to say.

“A play?”

He smoothly asked.

“Correct.”

“At present, personnel arrangements for the Slumbering Land are still handled by the people under Li Wuji.”

“We’ll discuss the details with them next.”

That said,

Vermilion Bird immediately picked up his phone and started sending a message. Ding dong-

Next Second.

Chen Sheng felt his phone vibrating.

He took out his phone,

and saw a message appear in a WeChat group called “Loving Family” on the screen.

[Lone Wolf (Vermilion Bird): @Fortune Blossoms, Mom of the Child, the kid is on a mission, please arrange]

[Fortune Blossoms (Li Wuji): Received.]

[C.(Chen Sheng):……]

[Lone Wolf: @C. What’s wrong, kid, do you have any objections to what mom and dad said?]

Vermilion Bird had just sent the message,

When his expression suddenly froze.

A bone-chilling, icy murderous intent surged from behind.

“Just kidding, just kidding.”

Vermilion Bird turned around and said with a fawning smile.

The murderous intent then disappeared,

Both of them resumed their journey.

Yunzhou Province.

Cliffsea Cloud Forest.

This is a sprawling tropical rainforest that stretched over several thousand square kilometers.

The entire tropical rainforest covers over three thousand square kilometers, with numerous precious animal and plant species residing within. Among them, many have already gone extinct in the outside world, with no trace to be found.

The outer area of the forest is a very famous tourist destination.

All year round, tourists come to appreciate the natural scenery.

However, the inner regions were seldom treaded by people, strictly guarded throughout the year, and outsiders were prohibited from entering.

The reasons behind it:

Apart from not wanting the natural ecology to be damaged, it was out of fear that people would stumble into the deep end, encountering attacks from fierce beasts or poisonous insects.

The oxygen content within the tropical rainforest is very abundant.

And the concentration of Qi there is also extremely high.

The flora and fauna living here year-round, many have undergone strange changes.

If ordinary people were to come here,

They would be lucky to escape with their lives.

Bianchuan City.

East District.

The church.

It is very close to the entrance of the Cliffsea Cloud Forest, just a two to three kilometers away.

Christians from within Bianchuan city often come here for worship.

Although it is not bustling,

It was quiet.

But today,

The church is not open to the public, it seems to have other uses.

The main door is tightly closed.

No sound could be heard from the outside.

Through the windows, only a hazy view could be seen.

Inside the church,

A middle-aged man held a Bible and stood above, dressed in a priest’s robe.

His lips were red, his teeth white, his pupils a deep red.

Combined with his over-pale skin,

It gave him an odd aura.

This man is the one known as Mr. Mao from the Twelve Holy envoys.

Mr. Mao.

People dressed in religious robes sat in the long benches below.

They varied in age and gender.

Yet strangely, their expressions seemed a bit stiff.

Only their eyes were lively.

Without exception, all of them had their eyes trained on Mr. Mao on the stage.

At this moment,

Mr. Mao slowly spoke.

His voice was sharp and uncomfortable to the ears, reminiscent of someone who had throat constriction.

“The Slumbering Land’s dangers are exceptional, but the rewards are bountiful.”

“No matter how much we can seize this time, only two-thirds need to be handed over.”

“The rest will be enough for you to cultivate for a long time.”

“After the mission is successful, the Holy Sect will reward contributions, with additional rewards to be given.” “Whether it’s cultivation manuals, or wealth, power and honor.”

“You can choose them all.”

“I think it’s necessary to inform you in advance.”

When his words fell,

His deep red pupils moved slightly.

Mr. Mao’s gaze swept over every member of the Holy Sect present.

Without exception,

Their eyes were all filled with fervent light.

Most of those who managed to join the Holy Sect are people blinded by greed.

With profit in front of their eyes,

They couldn’t help but get excited.

As for the dangers,

In their long journey to where they are now, what step hasn’t been fraught with danger?

At least now, they were sheltered by the towering tree of the Holy Sect.

The powerful martial artists of the Martial Arts Association and the Wu’an Bureau would be dealt with by the two Holy Envoys leading the mission.

As for them,

They only had to deal with the remaining small fry, significantly reducing the risks.

His gaze swept a round,

Seeing everyone sufficiently excited.

Mr. Mao slightly nodded.

He lifted his hand and glanced at the time.

Speaking again.

“As such.”

“Let’s set off.”

“Once you’re at the scenic spot, someone will respectively pick up each of you.”

This time, nearly eighty people from the Holy Sect would be dispatched.

According to the plan, by that time, they’ll enter the scenic spot in batches, disguised as a church tour group, and someone will be waiting to lead them deep into the rainforest.

So he thought.

Mr. Mao walked off the stage.

Towards the church’s main door.

On his departure,

people from the Holy Sect who were sitting on the bench on both sides also began to stand up one after another.

Steps.

Mr. Mao’s stride suddenly halted.

He could feel his pocket phone vibrating.

This phone was particularly used for contacting people inside the Holy Sect.

it was usually used only when discussing plans of action or when unforeseen events occur.

And about the plan of action.

It had already been finalized yesterday.

But now, the phone rang all of a sudden, could it be…

With that thought,

Mr. Mao’s brow slightly furrowed.

The Holy Sect followers on both sides saw his expression and stopped as well, casting puzzled gazes at him.

Mr. Mao immediately took out his phone and checked the message.

However, when he saw the message on the screen, his heart, was instantly filled with shock.

Even his body froze in place, motionless for a long time.

What?

Is Xuanwu coming?

Hasn’t Xuanwu died?

It has already been two days since Xuanwu’s death.

Though they had to reassure the followers, the followers didn’t know about this.

They only thought that the previous mission was suspended because the enemy had been handled.

But as one of the Twelve Holy Envoys,

Mr. Mao naturally knew about this message.

But now,

he received a report saying Xuanwu was coming and thought, what is happening?

And he’s going to arrive soon too?!

“Sir, is—there a situation?”

A follower who looked almost fifty years old saw that Mr. Mao still hadn’t made his move and stepped forward to inquire.

He was a subordinate of Mr. Mao,

participated in many actions with him and was comparatively “favored” by Mr. Mao.

Swish!

The usually kind Mr. Mao uncharacteristically did not answer him today.

Mr. Mao suddenly turned around and waved his hand.

“All of you kneel down for me!” “Prepare to pay respects to Lord Xuanwu!”

What?!

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed an expression of horror.

Isn’t this just an ordinary mission?

The Slumbering Land, although more hazardous than the Sealed Land, should be far from reaching the difficulty level needing the Four Saints to emerge.

Could it be that the Martial Arts Association has sent out their masters too?

Thinking of this, the followers suddenly felt a sense of dread.

When gods wage war, mortals suffer.

They were all too familiar with this idea.

If under normal circumstances.

Though the people from the Martial Arts Association outnumber them and are equipped with weapons,

as long as they had the advantage of striking from the shadows, coupled with the individual strength exceeding the opponents, even if there were casualties, chances of survival would still be high.

Xuanwu.

What kind of high-ranking figure was that?

He was a fearsome strong person who could bring about phenomena in heaven and earth with a single gesture.

If the Martial Arts Association sends someone of his caliber, once both sides start fighting, these low-level ants like them will die before they even get the chance to run.

At this moment, most of the Holy Sect followers present held the same thought.

Though there were also a few who were delighted about being able to meet such a high-ranking figure, ultimately, they were in the minority. Most people were still uneasy.

Yet even so, their actions didn’t show any delays.

All they could see was one Holy Sect follower after another standing behind Mr. Mao.

Then, they all knelt on the ground in synchrony.

Even Mr. Mao was on one knee.

Matters about the mission would have to be discussed later.

Whoever showed any abnormal behavior now, would certainly die.

Just like that, everyone knelt down on the ground, motionless. Though they had no idea when Xuanwu would arrive, this waiting was necessary..
