Back in her room, Mo Li took the door key and began reading the mission manual.
"Mission: Barbarians have invaded the Central Plains from another world. Assist the Central Plains in resisting this invader." Mo Li muttered to herself, looking at the mission description. "Do not reveal your identity, and do not use abilities beyond human control, otherwise it will affect the balance of power in that other world—"
Putting down the task sheet, Mo Li frowned. "Although the task seems simple, it cannot be done with abilities beyond human capabilities, which is quite difficult."
"This is actually the most basic condition. You'll find out later that there are other demanding conditions waiting for you," Mo Chen said as he entered the room.
Mo Li smiled and said, "You're freer than me now, how about we go together?"
Mo Chen rolled his eyes. "I'm not your companion, why should I help you? Besides, this is your first mission, you have to perform well. If I go and I outperform my master, where will you put your face?"
"Alright, I'm relieved to have you guarding the barrier here." Mo Li chuckled, then stood up. "I'm leaving now. Let's have a few drinks when I get back."
Mo Chen didn't say anything, but frowned slightly as he watched Mo Li leave excitedly: "Some people are born different from others, so the hardships they need to go through are also different!"
——
There are generally eight gates: the Rest Gate, the Life Gate, the Injury Gate, the Block Gate, the View Gate, the Death Gate, the Shock Gate, and the Open Gate.
As the gate to the Nine Springs Realm, it is a boundary gate connecting to the other world, and a key is required to reach it.
Mo Li clutched the key in his hand, staring at the seemingly endless gate. His heart pounded in his chest: Soon, he would see her again!
"I am the Punisher of the Netherworld, holding the key to the other world. Open the door quickly!" Mo Li declared.
As soon as he finished speaking, the key flew to one of the keyholes on the door. Mo Li felt a bright light before his eyes, and the door opened, sucking him inside...
——
Countless suits of armor were shattered, and countless swords and shields were worn down; only the earth, littered with corpses, bore witness to this battle.
"General Hua is truly amazing! With his addition, we are like a tiger with wings!"
"That's right! I initially thought General Hua was too frail to be fit for the position, but I never expected him to be so capable!"
"With General Hua here, we will surely win and drive the barbarians back!"
...
Hearing her comrades' praise outside the tent, Mulan couldn't help but sigh. Looking at her heroic reflection in the bronze mirror, she felt a pang of sorrow. "Ah, Mulan, Mulan, you're such a liar! They treated you so well, and you hid it from everyone. What a scoundrel!"
Just then, anxious footsteps came from outside the door. "Report!"
Hua Mulan looked serious. The scout had already entered the military camp and entered her tent. "What is it?"
"General, a strange hurricane has appeared ten miles ahead. We would like to ask you to decide whether our troops should move to a new position as soon as possible!"
Hua Mulan frowned slightly. "A hurricane? How could the weather produce such a strange phenomenon?"
After thinking for a moment, Mulan stood up and said, "Take ten soldiers and come with me to investigate!"
"yes!"
Hua Mulan donned her battle robes, picked up her spear, and stepped out of the tent. Ten soldiers were already waiting outside. "Come on! Let's go see!"
A fierce wind howled, and an eerie light flickered at the center of the hurricane, ten miles away. At the center of that beam of light, a white shadow was rapidly descending.
Mo Li's silver hair danced in the wind as she looked at the world with a frown. "I didn't expect the air in this world to be so thin, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to be so pitifully scarce. Fortunately, there aren't any particularly powerful cultivators in this world..."
Just as Mo Li was about to land, the wind suddenly weakened, and the demonic power within his body seemed to be sealed off. Mo Li's expression changed drastically. "This, how could this be..."
Suddenly, Mo Li fell to the ground—
Mulan and ten soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the hurricane. The wind had gradually subsided. Seeing this, Mulan frowned slightly. "This wind is really strange. It came suddenly and went suddenly."
"General, shall we go and take a look?"
Looking at the wind that had already dissipated, Mulan nodded. "Alright, let's split up. Ah Jin, you come with me."
"Yes!" Cheng Jin nodded and spoke. Everyone dispersed, and Hua Mulan walked towards the valley.
The flowers, plants, and trees were battered and broken by the strong winds, the roads were covered with fallen leaves, and some tree trunks were blown down, blocking the way.
"Ah Jin, go over there and see if the road is passable. I'll go over there and take a look," Hua Mulan said, pointing to the depths of the forest.
"Yes, General."
Mulan walked down another path and saw countless fallen leaves covering the grass, and the dead bodies of birds that had flown by lying nearby. Further ahead, a tree was broken in half and lay across the middle of the road.
"It seems this way is blocked. I was planning to go through the wild forest..." Mulan sighed and was about to turn back when she suddenly noticed a person lying in front of the tree, his life hanging in the balance.
Upon seeing this, Mulan hurriedly ran forward. She saw that the person was dressed in white, with a peach blossom mark on his eyebrows and a lotus mark between his brows. He was handsome and charming, but his face was pale and his lips were bloodless.
"This guy..." Mulan frowned as she looked at the man, puzzled. "Why do I feel a strange sense of familiarity with him..."
Just as Mulan was in a daze, Cheng Jin had already finished checking the road conditions and rushed back. "General, what happened?"
"There's an injured person here, probably hurt by the hurricane just now. Let's take him back for treatment first," Mulan said after thinking for a moment.
