Wei Chongran said "good" twice in a row, first praising Li Yan and his team's recent performance.
Of course, Li Yan now understands that his master has selfish motives. When he let him join the ninth team of the "Heavy Front Battalion", he must have known that Bai Rou and her team had good overall strength.
If you let yourself join in, then your safety will definitely be more secure.
"Junior Brother Wei is right. My disciple is a rare genius in mechanical engineering. With the help of the puppets she made, their team's performance has always been among the best in Fengliang Mountain, not to mention the 'Heavy Front Camp'.
No wonder you let this guy join Bai Rou's team as soon as he arrived. But his cultivation level is only at the middle stage of foundation building, not as powerful as Bai Rou often said... "
Before Elder Chi Gong finished speaking, Bai Rou below had already blushed and spoke quickly.
"Master, I... When did I tell you how powerful Junior Brother Li is? Oh, no, Junior Brother Li... Junior Brother Li, that's not what I meant... I..."
When Bai Rou heard Elder Chi Gong actually tell her about their usual conversations and even added the word "often said", she felt embarrassed and anxious.
Bai Rou tried to explain it for a moment, but after she said it, she found that this explanation clearly showed that she looked down on Li Yan, so she quickly bowed to Li Yan beside her to explain.
Li Yan smiled bitterly at Bai Rou and said, "Senior Sister Bai, you are worrying too much. Senior Uncle Chi Gong, I just relied on my flying magic weapon to escape much faster."
Elder Chi Gong heard this and thought about it. It seemed that Bai Rou had said that this kid had led them to escape the enemy's encirclement several times.
He actually didn't mean anything else, but when he saw Bai Rou recently and asked her about her recent situation, Bai Rou always mentioned Li Yan. Later, he remembered that Li Yan was Wei Chongran's disciple. Although he did not participate in Li Yan's joining the sect at the beginning, he heard about it later.
Based on Elder Chi Gong's understanding of Bai Rou, he couldn't help but feel suspicious when he saw Bai Rou repeatedly mentioning other male cultivators.
However, Chi Gong and the elders did not know the relationship between Li Yan and Zhao Min. When they saw Li Yan today, they actually began to look at him with some scrutiny.
After hearing this, Wei Chongran looked at Bai Rou below and couldn't help but frowned slightly. But when he saw Li Yan's clear eyes, he felt relieved again. It seemed that he was just overthinking.
Wei Chongran then coughed and said, "I asked you two to come here because I discussed with Elder Chi Gong and several other elders a few days ago and there is something I need you to do.
The maximum number of people on this trip can be controlled at five. We have checked all the recent missions of the Deacon Hall and feel that your chances of success will be much higher if you carry out this mission.
However, the most crucial point here is that this mission requires people who are absolutely trustworthy, so you two were chosen.
After we finish explaining the mission, you can choose the remaining three from the Ninth Team, provided that they are people you absolutely trust. "
Li Yan and Bai Rou heard Wei Chongran directly state the purpose of calling them here. Although his tone was still gentle, it was clear that there was no room for negotiation.
Li Yan had long known that his master was very protective of his disciples, but when it came to the interests of the sect, he was very clear. Li Yan immediately responded respectfully, and Bai Rou also nodded slightly, waiting for the next words.
Elder Chi Gong, who was about to continue asking questions, stopped smiling when he saw that Wei Chongran had already started to get to the point.
"After you have selected your personnel, immediately go to a small town called 'Zhouyang Town' and pick up two monks from there.
These two cultivators are from the South China Sea. Nominally, they are disciples of the South China Sea immortal cultivation sect 'Qingling Sect'. They were also recently recruited by the demon army along with the 'Qingling Sect'.
But in fact, these two are direct disciples of Luoshu Lake, a first-class immortal cultivation family in the South China Sea.
This 'Luoshu Lake' immortal cultivation family has a powerful person in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is very powerful and has a wide influence in the South China Sea.
During this demon invasion, this cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul happened to travel to the Wuliang Sect before the South China Sea was invaded, and thus avoided the terrible consequences of being captured by the Demon Commander and planted with restrictions.
The 'Luoshu Lake' family is a hidden family, so not many people know about it, so for the time being, the family should not have been discovered by the demons.
There are some inheritance origins between 'Luoshu Lake' and 'Qingling Gate'.
These two disciples of the Qingling Sect were the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation of their family. They were the Luoshu Lake immortal cultivation family and the Qingling Sect who stayed here for a short period of time to exchange geniuses and learn each other's immortal arts, but they did not expect to be dragged onto the battlefield.
The two young monks from Luoshu Lake kept sending out distress messages through the life-saving jade pendants they left behind. A few days ago, the Yuanying strongman from Luoshu Lake finally sensed the message and learned that his family's direct disciples had arrived here.
Finally, this Yuanying strongman from Luoshu Lake discussed with the top leaders of our four sects that if we could send someone to pick up the two people, then he would be willing to take the risk and sneak back to the South China Sea.
Then he can secretly contact a group of friends, and finally when the war starts here, they will attack from the rear to kill the demon cultivators, so he called you here. Do you understand the importance of this?"
Elder Chi Gong outlined the mission in one breath.
Li Yan and Bai Rou understood what was said and were also surprised.
Li Yan was more thoughtful and was thinking in his mind.
“It seems that the two disciples hold extremely important positions in the Luoshu Lake Immortal Cultivation Family. They may not just be the young geniuses of the family, but are most likely the direct descendants of this Luoshu Lake Nascent Soul Master.”
There are many reasons why a mid-Nascent Soul expert was willing to go back secretly to repay the kindness of the four sects, even though he knew that the other party had four top masters at the level of Spiritualization. However, on the other hand, the four major sects must attach great importance to this matter. How can a friend of a Nascent Soul expert be weak
The key to this war is the Divine Transformation cultivator, but the main combat power is the Nascent Soul and Golden Core. If at the critical moment of the war, there are such a group of strong men sneak attack from the rear of the demon clan, the harm caused to the opponent will be immeasurable, and it may even play a role in turning the tide of the war.
Bai Rou frowned and asked softly, "What is the cultivation level of those two Luoshu Lake disciples? Why didn't the Luoshu Lake Yuanying strongman come out to help in person?"
Li Yan had just thought of this and nodded slightly.
"One of the two Luoshu Lake disciples is in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and their cultivation is pretty good.
As for the location of Zhouyang Town? It was close to the edge of the demon army. Zhouyang Town was also a resting place for the demon scouts. It could also be called a stronghold of the demon cultivators.
The mission of the Qingling Sect where the two Luoshu Lake disciples were located was to scout and gather information, so they would stay in Zhouyang Town from time to time.
That place is already under the control of the spiritual consciousness of the powerful demons, and there will often be cross-detection by the spiritual consciousness of the demons. Even if the middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from 'Luoshu Lake' appears there, there is no guarantee that he can avoid all detection.
As for the fact that he suppressed his cultivation to the foundation-building stage, if there were demon generals on the other side who had cultivated a great magical power similar to the 'Tongtian Famu', they would be more sensitive to the hidden aura while scanning, and their whereabouts might be exposed faster.
Therefore, suppressing one's cultivation and going to support them is not the best strategy. It should be the last resort. If it's fake, it's fake.
In fact, Jindan cultivators can go there, because the other side also has some Jindan cultivators who come out to spy on information, and there are Jindan cultivators in "Zhouyang Town".
However, although the number of Jindan cultivators is much larger than that of Yuanying cultivators for both sides, they are still very conspicuous compared to the foundation-building cultivators everywhere.
Therefore, after receiving this mission, I discussed with the elders and decided to let you go. You are the easiest to be ignored among the foundation-building monks in remote areas."
Wei Chongran spoke slowly and answered the question raised by Bai Rou.
"Then why don't these two Luoshu Lake disciples take advantage of the opportunity to go out as scouts, get close to our control area, and then secretly escape?"
Li Yan pondered for a moment and asked for a feasible escape plan.
“That’s because they have long been restricted, and the demons won’t completely trust them.
All the cultivators recruited from the South China Sea will be led by two people sent by the demon clan when they go out. These two demon cultivators hold the tokens that can control their life and death.
If they do not receive any news from the scouts at the agreed time, regardless of whether these monks are unable to return because of spying or for other reasons, they will activate the restriction token regardless of the consequences and take the person's life.
There is another important reason, that is, the ones who can really get close to us are actually the magic cultivators and those mysterious human cultivators.
The missions often performed by monks like those of the Qingling Sect are to search for our past scouts and then capture or kill them. This is actually asking them to submit a "letter of surrender".
He has killed too many of our monks, and he will not be recognized by us in the future."
Wei Chongran explained carefully.
Elder Chi Gong snorted and said, "Perhaps these two have killed many of our cultivators. However... if we can get a Nascent Soul expert to take action, then all this can be stopped."
"That is to say, after we go there, we must first kill the two leading demon cultivators, and then pretend to be a team that came here to gather information, and finally return."
Li Yan already knew the plan from above, and might have even figured out how they were going to return.
As expected, Elder Chi Gong nodded first and said, "Your ideas and plans are basically the same. Anyway, there are the most foundation-building cultivators on the front lines of both sides.
When you blend in with them, it won't be easy to attract special attention. This method is very comprehensive."
Li Yan and Bai Rou looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. Although the plan considered above was feasible, there were people from both sides involved along the way. How could they easily travel thousands of miles back and forth without revealing any flaws
Along the way, one must also guard against "accidental" assassinations by one's own people, as these are problems that exist all the time.
And how could they kill the two leading demon monks silently? That "Zhouyang Town" was the enemy's stronghold.
Moreover, sometimes, they are all in the area controlled by the opponent's demon general's spiritual consciousness. Although these demon generals cannot pay attention to every inch of the place all the time, who can guarantee that when they take action, the demon general's spiritual consciousness will not just sweep over
Although Elder Chi Gong spoke in a relaxed manner, he and Wei Chongran had actually discussed the matter for a long time. He was very worried about Bai Rou and Li Yan. As for the other three, they were simply ignored by Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong.
But this was a major matter related to the decisive battle, so they could only send their most trusted disciples to accomplish it. So, they cruelly decided to let Bai Rou and Li Yan complete it.
But this does not mean that only the two of them are trustworthy, but it is the result of their final discussion after comprehensively considering the task completion status of all teams in the Deacon Hall.
It just happened that Bai Rou's team performed well, and the other disciples of the Ninth Team of the Wuliang Sect did not have elders and masters like Li Yan and Bai Rou, so they could only obey orders in this mission and had no right to know more.
