Liu Yunqing naturally wanted to leave the city.

After returning home and planting all the newly purchased items into his spatial storage, Liu Yunqing spent a few more days cultivating in his cave. However, he couldn't sit still any longer and decided to go to the mission hall to pick up some missions to do.

The last time Liu Yunqing came to the mission hall, she was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Now, only a few years later, she has successfully reached the Golden Core stage.

Thinking back to the first time we teamed up, I felt a sense of nostalgia.

Entering the mission hall with practiced ease, Liu Yunqing sighed inwardly as he looked at the Golden Core stage missions posted.

It should be noted that most ordinary cultivators have poor aptitude and their progress is slow due to the lack of a good cultivation environment.

Therefore, there are many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment tasks in the task hall, but very few Golden Core stage tasks.

Compared to the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, where the task list is filled to the brim, the Golden Core stage task list only has three or five tasks.

Even so, not every task can be taken on.

Upon seeing Liu Yunqing approaching, the cultivator in charge of issuing Golden Core missions hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with great enthusiasm.

"Senior, take a look at this task list. The tasks this time are all quite good, and the rewards are very generous."

Seeing that Liu Yunqing was quietly looking at the task panel without saying a word, and even seemed to frown slightly at one point, the cultivator quickly continued, fearing she might leave:

"If you don't like the tasks in this task list, we have hidden tasks available, but the requirements for these hidden tasks are..."

Upon hearing that there was a hidden quest, Liu Yunqing interrupted the cultivator before he could finish speaking, saying:

"What hidden quest? Let me see."

Liu Yunqing took a look at the cultivator's hand and realized why it was a hidden quest.

Many of the missions listed above are either chase missions or theft and robbery missions.

This type of task, regardless of whether the people you're dealing with are good or bad, is indeed not something that can be brought into the open.

Killing someone without cause will cause cultivators to accumulate negative karma and incur bad consequences, so Liu Yunqing has no intention of taking on such a task.

"Never mind, I'll look at other ones... Wait, I'll take this mission."

Just as Liu Yunqing was about to hand back the hidden quest board, she discovered one of the quests that she could accept—hunting down the Red-Haired Duo.

Although no one is absolutely good or evil, these two are definitely evil people, as can be seen from their names.

Killing someone who is already burdened with karmic obstacles and entangled in evil deeds is perfectly acceptable.

"Okay!"

The cultivator in charge of registration naturally understood why Liu Yunqing had chosen this task, and at the same time, his gaze towards Liu Yunqing held a deeper meaning.

The fact that she cares about the karma and consequences of cultivation shows that this female cultivator is single-mindedly focused on achieving immortality. Furthermore, the fact that she accepted such a difficult task without hesitation demonstrates her formidable strength.

With this in mind, the cultivator in charge of registration became even more respectful to Liu Yunqing.

"The mission has been registered. Here is the mission token. Please keep it safe, senior."

"I wish you success in eliminating evil, senior!"

Liu Yunqing accepted the token with a smile, nodded, and turned to leave the mission hall.

This kind of pursuit mission is different from hunting monsters to find spiritual herbs. There is no fixed location, so the mission time is given very generously, usually one to three years.

Therefore, Liu Yunqing was not in a hurry. After leaving the mission hall, he turned around and went to the place where he was supposed to gather information.

With just ten spirit stones, I easily learned that the Crimson-Haired Duo were currently in the Sunset Mountains.

The distance isn't far; if I pilot my flying magical artifact, it will only take a day or two.

However, Liu Yunqing did not use a flying magic weapon. After leaving the city gate, she found a sparsely populated place. With a thought, the shadow of the Heavenly Fire Fusang Bow appeared and flickered in her dantian.

The next instant, a pair of translucent wings in shades of black and gold appeared out of thin air on Liu Yunqing's back.

With her hands behind her back, Liu Yunqing flapped her wings, which emitted a soft glow, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

"What a powerful magic weapon! Let's chase after it!"

Before Liu Yunqing's afterimage had faded, several people rushed out from a nearby hiding place.

These people were extremely fast. Before anyone could see them clearly, they shot straight into the sky like shooting stars, chasing after the direction where Liu Yunqing had disappeared.

While Liu Yunqing was still in the city, she had already sensed that someone was following her. However, the other party was good at hiding, and she could only sense it roughly but could not find the person.

She simply ignored it and, as soon as she soared into the sky, she immediately increased the speed of her wings to the maximum.

Although it was only a few breaths, Liu Yunqing successfully left the people who were following him far behind. Then, with a thought, he half-hid his body into the Golden Crow Space and slowed down.

Liu Yunqing had just tested it out. The wings carved by the little hibiscus on the Heavenly Fire Fusang Bow were very useful. With the added support of the formation, the speed was indeed very fast.

At this rate, she estimated that she could reach the Luoxia Mountains in less than half a day.

However, there is a problem: if you go all out, you will consume a lot of spiritual energy.

By the time she reached the Sunset Mountain Range, her spiritual energy was completely depleted. She was lucky to even stand up, let alone fight.

Liu Yunqing had a guess about who was following him, so he didn't intend to do something that would just send him to his death. He planned to deal with the tail that was following him before completing his mission.

After Liu Yunqing deliberately slowed down, sure enough, in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, several figures that were not unfamiliar appeared in her line of sight.

It was those shameless overseas cultivators who stopped her in the market that day.

"Lost her? Her presence was clearly felt here before!"

Upon arriving near Liu Yunqing's location, the effeminate male cultivator spoke with an angry expression.

The others, intimidated by the effeminate man's authority, dared not answer such a question that could not provide a response, and scattered to release their divine senses to investigate.

The investigation was clearly fruitless, and Liu Yunqing wouldn't show up at this time.

She looked away, trying not to attract attention, and then blended into the group, intending to find out what they thought of her.

Because they couldn't find anyone, these people were all a bit irritable, and even teammates were speaking rudely to each other.

Although the effeminate man's emotions were not very stable, he had been in charge of the overall situation for a long time and managed to suppress his temper so that the group would no longer fight amongst themselves.

"That female cultivator is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Since she won't listen to reason and refuses to hand over the red bamboo, we must take her life!"

"But now we're a step behind, and the direction we're pursuing might be wrong, so it's better to split up and act in pairs."

The effeminate man spoke with great confidence, not taking Liu Yunqing too seriously, even though the lowest cultivation level on their side had already advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Liu Yunqing was just a female cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm; it would be an easy task for two teams to take her down.

Unfortunately, the confident, effeminate man forgot about his arms, which had been burned and were now covered in blistering.

And I forgot that some people can easily challenge those who are higher level than them, let alone those who are only one or two levels apart.

So when Liu Yunqing defeated the first duo, the shock in their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Instead of trying to glare me to death, you two might as well introduce yourselves properly... and tell me which island you're from?"
