Bai Hao quickly found Fan Ziming and Zheng Long, explained the requirements of the mission, and clarified that Su Yuewan had specifically requested them to go.
Zheng Long naturally had no objection to this. He never objected to Su Yuewan's orders and would silently complete them no matter how difficult the task was.
And he wouldn't have any complaints.
But Fan Ziming is not.
"So the three of us are going to cause trouble for the Divine Sea Sect? Brother Bai, I'm not saying this to be mean, but isn't the Sect Master's decision a bit... problematic? Has she lost her mind?" Fan Ziming complained, his face full of dissatisfaction.
After spending a lot of time with Bai Hao, he also learned Bai Hao's way of complaining, especially about Su Yuewan.
“Right, I think so too, but what can I do? She’s the sect leader. I argued back on the spot, but she didn’t give me any face.” Bai Hao sighed and then said, “However, after my efforts, I got a jade pendant from the sect leader. Once we get there, we can use this jade pendant to open a spatial teleportation array and call the sect leader over directly.”
He brandished the jade pendant in his hand, immediately earning Fan Ziming's admiring gaze.
"Brother Bai is amazing! The sect leader actually listens to you."
"Of course! Once we get there, we'll just summon the sect leader and have her lead us to slaughter everyone in our path. At that point, a mere Divine Sea Sect will be a piece of cake!" Bai Hao raised his face, filled with pride.
"Brother Bai is amazing!" Fan Ziming exclaimed with admiration.
Zheng Long watched the two acting crazy with a blank expression and said calmly, "The sect leader has arrived."
Bai Hao and Fan Ziming immediately shut up and stood at attention. Bai Hao didn't forget to put the jade pendant away to avoid giving themselves away.
Meanwhile, Su Yuewan and Han Shan had already arrived.
"Sect Leader Han, these three are disciples of our Falling Sea Sect. They will be traveling with you this time, and we hope you will take good care of them," Su Yuewan said.
Han Shan glanced at Bai Hao and the other two and found that, apart from Bai Hao's cultivation level which seemed a bit unclear, Zheng Long and Fan Ziming were only at the late stage of Body Tempering.
This is indeed quite good for a regular sect, but this time they are facing the Divine Sea Sect. As a first-class sect, does Su Yuewan not know the strength of the Divine Sea Sect?
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Is it just Sect Leader Su and his three disciples? Forgive my bluntness, but the Divine Sea Sect will at least have one elder accompanying us this time. Sect Leader Su, are your three disciples... a bit lacking?"
Even if Su Yuewan is very confident, she shouldn't joke around with her disciple's life like this.
"Sect Leader Han, rest assured, these are the people I chose. I have enough confidence in them. Even if they graduate, I won't blame you. You just need to take them to Shouyang Mountain," Su Yuewan said calmly.
"Well... alright, since Sect Master Su has said so, I won't say any more."
Since Su Yuewan had said that, he had nothing more to say.
She was a disciple of the Luohai Sect, and it was her own arrangement. Even if something went wrong, it wouldn't be his responsibility, so Han Shan didn't say anything more.
"Alright, you're awake. Let's go." Su Yuewan waved her hand, watching the four of them drive the carriage away from Luohai Sect...
...
On the road.
"Sect Master Han, what's the situation with the Divine Sea Sect on Shouyang Mountain? Could you please tell us in detail?" Bai Hao asked proactively.
Despite his reluctance, since he had no choice but to go to Shouyang Mountain, he could only take the mission seriously.
After all, this is no joke; it concerns their own safety. Knowing more information is always a good thing. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.
Han Shan thought for a moment and said, "Shouyang Mountain is a bit far from Luohai Sect, so it's not surprising that you don't know."
Shouyang Mountain is a continuous, deep mountain range, almost entirely uninhabited. Because of this, it has become a haven for demonic beasts, teeming with them and developing into a small demonic beast forest. However, there's no need to worry. The Divine Sea Sect needs to enter the blessed land, and they themselves must drive away those demonic beasts, so we shouldn't encounter too many if we go.”
"Then we should thank the Divine Sea Sect, right?"
"Haha, more or less. Actually, Shouyang Mountain was originally one of the areas where the Shenhai Sect readers were supposed to clean up the demonic beasts, because there's a town on the outskirts of Shouyang Mountain that's not far from it. But because Shouyang Mountain isn't very close to the Shenhai Sect, and because the Shenhai Sect's focus has shifted in the last two years, they haven't paid attention to things that are insignificant to them, which is why the demonic beasts on Shouyang Mountain have overpopulated." Han Shan sighed.
The Divine Sea Sect used to be a decent sect, often helping surrounding towns to eliminate monsters.
However, as the Divine Sea Sect grew stronger and stronger, and with no competitors in the Southern Region, they gradually gave up and delegated the task of eliminating demonic beasts to their subordinate smaller sects.
But those small sects don't have enough people and strength to wipe out the monsters, so they can only let the monsters multiply.
As a result, the number of monsters around them increased.
This is also one of the reasons why Han Shan dislikes the Divine Sea Sect.
Nowadays, the Divine Sea Sect has lost the responsibilities that a first-class sect should have in many things. It only knows how to amass wealth, poach disciples, and do all sorts of unscrupulous things.
If it weren't for the resurgence of the Falling Sea Sect, the Divine Sea Sect would probably continue in this state, and ordinary people within a radius of several hundred miles would be plunged into a dire predicament, unable to save themselves.
Fortunately, we now have the Falling Sea Sect.
“The Divine Sea Sect is truly inhuman.” Zheng Long, who rarely speaks, unusually voiced his opinion.
His eyes hardened, his hand gripped the sword tightly in his arms, and his face was gloomy, as if he were thinking of some unpleasant past.
It might be a sect like the Divine Sea Sect, or it might be a demon beast.
"The Divine Sea Sect is so heartless, it's time they paid a price," Bai Hao murmured.
...
The group traveled by horse-drawn carriage and it took them several hours to arrive at Shouyang Mountain.
The carriage stopped in front of a mountain road in a dense forest; it could not go any further.
This is the entrance to Shouyang Mountain. There is a simple wooden house next to it, which must have been the place where the mountain caretaker used to live.
Now there are no more mountain watchers, only an abandoned wooden hut.
"Gentlemen, this is the entrance to Shouyang Mountain. As agreed, it is inconvenient for me to accompany you inside. The people from Shenhai Sect should have already gone in. Please continue straight ahead along this path until you reach the end, then cross a small mountain. The approximate location of the blessed land is on the other side of the mountain," Han Shan said.
