"Tsk tsk, no way, I, Daoist, won't do it. Arresting people is one thing, but making us arrest them on their own turf is just sending us to our deaths in a roundabout way."
Si Zang looked resentful, but seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat back down unhappily.
Yu Bai glanced at her and opened her mouth twice. Hong Linggui, who was on the side, revealed a strange expression and relayed, "You disturbed the earth's energy and destroyed the earth's veins. If you hadn't destroyed it so thoroughly, you would have been the first on the kill list of the underground palace in the One-Eyebrow Daoist's world."
This is why they were targeted by the ghosts; Si Zang completely severed the dragon vein beneath the underground palace.
"Oh, whatever, you can't abandon this humble monk. We've been through thick and thin together. You little lady just want to throw this humble monk out..." Si Zang was calculating with his hands when he suddenly shouted even louder, "Then we'll elope together!"
"Forehead.."
Lin Feng glanced at Yu casually, and the other party seemed to flinch before opening her mouth again to speak.
Hong Linggui chuckled inwardly and continued speaking with Yu: "Either complete the mission or make enemies of Ghost Shadow. As long as we eliminate the Shadow Group from H country, they won't hold this against us."
"There are three people in total. Cheng Dongyuan is capable of shadow magic, Jin Youzhen is capable of Taoist magic, and Ben Cheng is capable of slaying madmen."
"This is a hunt scroll. Using it will automatically take you into their mission world. It can be used during mandatory missions."
After Yu finished speaking, she placed the detailed information about the three people on the table in front of them.
Cheng Dongyuan: Shadow Magic, from my own world-building; Shadow Minions: High-Rank Undead, High-Rank Insectoid, Shadow Machine.
Kim Yoo-jin: A Taoist sorcerer from the Ninth Continent.
Original title: Zhan Kuang, from the world of Blade & Soul.
"These three... they want us to arrest someone on their turf." Si Zang slammed his hand on the table, his eyes fixed intently, then suddenly turned to Lin Feng: "Whatever..."
Lin Feng felt a pang in his heart when he was called, and the documents in his eyes were snatched away by a hand.
"You would never harm me!" Si Zang leaned closer, staring into Lin Feng's eyes and shouting, "By the Three Pure Ones above, I, Si Zang, a Taoist priest from Yanshan, have a pure heart, as Heaven and Earth can bear witness. I have never thought of doing anything to harm you!"
A surge of energy rose behind Lin Feng, and Gui Ke, awakened by Si Zang's shouts, looked over curiously.
"Lady Dragon, you must stand up for me! Tell me, I risked my life to save you, my young master, without a moment's peace." Si Zang cried miserably, and although one could hear a hint of deliberate intent in his voice, Gui Ke's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"It's alright, how are you recovering?"
Lin Feng waved his hand, changing the subject, and asked Gui Ke instead.
"It's still a little short..." Taken aback by the sudden question, Gui Ke said with surprise, "I'd like to ask if it's possible to dig a river there?"
"River?" Lin Feng was surprised for a moment, then immediately thought of Gui Ke's previous situation. How could she possibly like staying in the soil? He had overlooked that, only focusing on the earth element: "Well, you can decide about the river yourself."
"Okay, brother!" Gui Ke smiled mischievously, patted Lin Feng's shoulder hard, and excitedly burrowed back into the ley lines.
At this moment, Si Zang stopped crying, squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Suibian, you are so good to her, I'm even a little jealous."
Lin Feng pretended not to hear, lowered his head and took out the nightmare invitation from the eyeball in his pocket.
"Invitation to the Nightmare World of the Tall Grass Mission"
"Huh?"
Si Zang immediately noticed the problem, leaned over and stared at it for a few moments, then began searching for information about this mission world hidden in the tall grass.
"Where did you get this? A Nightmare Invitation... a mission world whose heaven has been shattered by its participants."
"I've made up my mind. The deal we just agreed on—to arrest the person—is here to be done right now!"
Si Zang felt a chill run down his spine as the nightmare scroll spread through his body. The mission world, whose heaven had been shattered by the participants, was now in a state of chaos. Who knew what it had become?
"This was given to me by the guide."
Lin Feng's voice stopped Si Zang from leaving. Upon hearing the words "guide," Si Zang turned his chair around, concealing his face which wasn't fully turned, and asked, "What else did he say?"
Lin Feng spoke candidly in the sunlight of his personal space, saying, "There are two ways to get out: walk out yourself, or use a spatial teleportation scroll."
"oh?"
Si Zang instinctively sat back down. Although the chill on his back was still there, he had some other thoughts when he looked at the Nightmare Scroll.
He certainly didn't want to touch something so dangerous right now, but since it was given to him by the guide, who told him about two ways to leave, it must have some special significance.
What does "walk out on your own" mean?
"It's probably about finding a way out through your own willpower. The next stage for a Human-level Good is a test of willpower." Lin Feng repeated the guide's words: "You need to have a clear willpower attribute. The simplest way is to exchange for sword skills, such as Basic Sword Intent, Sword Mastery, and Control Skills."
Si Zang's eyes darted around a few times, then he pulled up a chair and moved closer to Lin Feng: "How far do you think you are from activating your willpower attribute?"
"Maybe one or two mission worlds, or..." Lin Feng's gaze fell on the Nightmare Invitation on the table, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"And you?" Si Zang asked Yu without showing any sign of disagreement.
Yu rolled her eyes at him first, then thought about it seriously and held up three fingers.
Three mission worlds...
Si Zang calmly sat up, patted his wrinkled, smug sleeves with a composed gaze, and sighed leisurely, "This humble Daoist is not talented; I can activate my willpower attribute at any time, but I just haven't figured out how to do it~"
"Uh...?" Lin Feng cast a curious glance at him.
Yu also cast a curious glance at her.
"You can't learn what I'm good at." Si Zang straightened his back, his nostrils flared, and leaned back in his chair. "Let's make this clear first: going to this mission world is fine, but you'll have to bring..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng suddenly interrupted, "Weren't you not planning to go?"
"Who said I wasn't going? Did I say that? Did I say that?!" Si Zang grabbed the Nightmare Invitation, shook it in his hand, and chuckled, "I'm worried about you going alone. If it's really necessary, let Xiao Yu stay home."
A bluish tinge immediately appeared on Yu's face, and a ghostly aura filled the air as a stream of bloody tears flowed down her cheeks.
Si Zang calmly avoided the murderous gaze and said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, hahaha... I was just kidding, just kidding... Of course we'll go together... Those three are a bit troublesome, so why don't we complete the Nightmare Invitation mission world first, and then use the mandatory mission time to go in and ambush them directly..."
Si Zang seemed to have something left unsaid, but his voice changed: "My mandatory mission has 20 hours left to count down, and yours is about the same, right?"
Yu and Lin Feng both nodded. After they finished experiencing the previous mission world, the time difference was eliminated.
Seeing that everyone nodded, Sizang asked seriously, "When do we depart?"
"Everything ready?" Lin Feng picked up the quest scroll from the tall grass: "Quest world exit item, and some additional items..."
"No problem, I've made ample preparations!" Si Zang chuckled, seemingly trying to ingratiate himself, as he pulled out three ceramic bottles from his robes: "After all, I'm not a combatant, so to prevent any problems for you, I specially bought a set of pills to repair your body and soul and replenish your qi, just in case!"
Upon hearing Si Zang's words, Yu's face showed a hint of praise, no longer as cold as before.
