Li Yan spoke out all of his and Bai Rou's thoughts in one breath. In fact, he and Bai Rou also had Chu Weixiong as an option in their minds.
It's just that his younger brother Chu Weili is still practicing hard to reach the great perfection of Qi Condensation Stage, which results in the Sky-Locking Four Symbols Formation, which is a tacit understanding between the brothers, being unable to exert its due power.
Otherwise, even if the two brothers are both in the initial stage of foundation building, this formation can definitely defeat several people of the same level joining forces. He will eliminate two of the current three people.
Wei Chongran smiled slightly after hearing this, and then looked at Elder Chi Gong. "Brother, I think all three of us are fine, and we can benefit from each other. What do you think, brother?"
Elder Chi Gong stood up and said, "It's settled. This is the best choice for both offense and defense. If we weren't afraid of this getting out, there should be other teams that are more suitable.
Well, without further ado, I have something else to tell Bai Rou. In half an hour, Bai Rou and Li Yan, notify the other three people, make some preparations, and then set off immediately."
After saying this, Elder Chi Gong strode towards the cave gate and motioned Bai Rou to follow.
Upon seeing this, Bai Rou quickly put the jade slip and the small iron scroll in her hand into the storage bag, then walked away with light lotus steps.
After the two of them left the cave, Li Yan did not leave immediately. Wei Chongran flicked his sleeves and the cave door closed again. Then Wei Chongran cast a soundproof forbidden light shield and looked at Li Yan again.
He saw that Li Yan had been standing there with no surprise on his face, as if he had known that he still had something to say. Wei Chongran nodded with satisfaction at Li Yan's cleverness.
In fact, Li Yan only guessed that Wei Chongran might have something else to say, but he didn't expect his master to be so careful. This was beyond his expectations, but Li Yan did not ask, but just stood with his hands down and listened.
"I'm sure Elder Chi Gong will also say the same thing to Bai Rou as I'm going to say to you next. This time, we're going to escort the two Luoshu Lake disciples back as much as possible.
If something is impossible…” Wei Chongran paused for a moment and immediately switched to voice transmission. However, this time the voice transmission became extremely vague and almost inaudible even in Li Yan’s mind, which showed how careful Wei Chongran was.
"If it is impossible, you can kill those two, but you must make it look like they were killed by the demons or that they were restrained to kill them.
It would be best if you could kill the cultivator from Sun Guoshu that you chose afterwards. As for Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun, I will quietly place restrictions on them.
If they have any evil thoughts, they must also disappear. Of course, all this is the last resort. "Li Yan's mind was shaken. He didn't expect that Wei Chongran kept him here for these things. It was beyond his expectation.
This was the first time that Li Yan saw murderous intent revealed in Wei Chongran. As expected, a cultivator who could cultivate to the Golden Core stage and become the head of one of the four major sects was definitely not a good person.
However, Li Yan was also moved. Wei Chongran said this to him at the risk of his life, so it was no wonder that he was so cautious.
Worse still, if the powerful Yuanying-stage warrior from Luoshu Lake knew what the Wuliang Sect did, he would most likely become so angry that he would defect to the Demon Clan.
Wei Chongran could not afford such consequences and would definitely be severely punished by the Wuliang Sect. Even the middle Nascent Soul cultivator would come and kill Wei Chongran himself.
By the way, there is also Elder Chi Gong, because Wei Chongran revealed in his words just now that after the mission failed, the most important thing for Bai Rou and him was to save their lives. Obviously, Wei Chongran had already discussed this with Elder Chi Gong, and Elder Chi Gong must have told Bai Rou about this matter when he took her out.
Being targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, no matter how high Wei Chongran's status is in the Wuliang Sect, it is dangerous. It is even possible that Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong will be abandoned directly for the sake of the war.
Li Yan didn't expect that Wei Chongran would be willing to do this for his sake.
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said in a voice transmission, "Disciple will do his best to bring them back."
Since Wei Chongran could do this, Li Yan now felt a surge of blood in his heart that he hadn't felt for a long time.
As for the matter of Sun Guoshu, he did not say anything. If the mission failed, either his entire team would be wiped out, or he would have to create a false impression.
The result would be that the middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Luoshu Lake would be so angry that he would become irreconcilable with the demon clan, and Sun Guoshu would have no choice but to give up.
It's not that Li Yan is heartless. Now that Wei Chongran has done so much for him, he can't harm Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong for his own selfish reasons.
Although Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun were disciples of the Wangliang Sect, Wei Chongran still left them a way to survive. This shows that Wei Chongran is kind-hearted and Li Yan will not worry about these things.
"Okay, when you tell the other three about the mission, just say that you are going to pick up the spies left behind in the demon clan. They have important information and you need to bring these two back. Don't tell them anything else. When we actually carry out the mission, you can reveal more appropriately."
The gleam in Wei Chongran's eyes slowly faded away, and he gave Li Yan some instructions again.
… …
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaowang, Yan Feijun and Sun Guoshu, looking confused, arrived at the top of a sub-peak of Fengliang Mountain. They looked at Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong with indifferent expressions, and then looked uneasily at Bai Rou and Li Yan, who were also standing there but kept silent.
They were in their respective caves just now, but suddenly received a message from Bai Rou, asking them to come to the top of the mountain without alerting others, as an elder from the sect wanted to ask them something. This startled the three of them. Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun had both established themselves in the sect through their own hard work, but their talents were still far behind those of the younger generation of geniuses.
Therefore, the two of them have remained in the foundation-building stage for a long time, but fortunately their foundation is becoming more and more solid.
So on weekdays, the two of them acted extremely carefully. But how come the Jindan Elder came to their door in the middle of the night today and did not allow them to make any noise? They suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if they had done something wrong or accidentally offended the fellow disciple who had a backer.
Of course, the first people that Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun thought of were Li Yan and Bai Rou, but after thinking about it, they didn't feel that they had offended these two people in any way. They had always been polite to Li and Bai.
When King Hu Xiao and Yan Feijun arrived at the top of the mountain, they saw Li Yan, Bai Rou and others beside them, and they smiled at them, so they felt a little relieved.
But the subsequent appearance of Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong made the two men nervous again. They had never expected that two Jindan cultivators would appear at once, and they were both people with extremely high status in the sect.
Among the three, Sun Guoshu was the last to arrive. He had been hesitant since he received Bai Rou's message. Judging from his experience, he didn't know what an elder from the Wuliang Sect could want from him in the middle of the night. His performance since he was recruited here had been only average, so he judged that it was definitely not a good thing.
In terms of cultivation, I am just average. In terms of aptitude, if I had good aptitude, wouldn't I have joined the four major sects long ago? Why would I still be a casual cultivator
But he didn't dare not come, so he flew very slowly along the way, trying to find something around him, but to his disappointment, there was nothing different here except for the patrolling monks passing by and asking him to take out his identity token for verification.
It was not until he saw Bai Rou and Li Yan that he felt delighted and hurried forward to greet them. Li Yan just nodded and stopped talking.
Bai Rou didn't say much. Sun Guoshu glanced at Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun and saw that they also had confusion in their eyes. It seemed that these two were called out alone like himself and were unaware of the situation.
When Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong arrived here, Wei Chongran immediately said, "I asked you to come here to carry out a secret mission. You cannot tell anyone about this.
Even if you encounter other teams during the mission, you must avoid them as much as possible. This mission must be completed within fifteen days, otherwise your mission will be considered a failure.
If you miss the chance to fight, all five of you will be punished, and your cultivation may be abolished, and you will become mortals."
Wei Chongran's voice remained calm, but these words made Sun Guoshu and the other two tremble. They knew better than anyone what abolishing one's cultivation meant to a cultivator pursuing immortality. Why was the punishment for this mission so severe
And it actually includes Li Yan and Bai Rou. However, the three of them know in their hearts that Li and Bai may not be able to "enjoy" the same treatment with them.
This was also the first time that Li Yan saw Wei Chongran directly issuing orders. He was completely different from the gentle fat young man in Xiaozhu Peak.
Of course Li Yan knew that Wei Chongran's order was actually only directed at Sun Guoshu and the other two, but he still felt Wei Chongran's hidden power.
Sun Guoshu and the other two couldn't help but secretly groan in their hearts. They didn't expect to encounter such bad luck.
At this moment, Elder Chi Gong, who looked like an immortal, took over Wei Chongran's words and smiled gently.
“Don’t worry too much, if you complete the mission well this time, the reward will be very generous.
In addition to spirit stones, everyone can choose a set of intermediate skills from any peak of the Wuliang Sect.
By the way, Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun, you two have never been accepted as disciples of a certain elder, right? If this mission is successfully completed, I can recommend you two."
Elder Chi Gong is truly like an immortal in a painting, bringing blessings to the earth.
When Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun heard this, their originally nervous hearts suddenly became excited, and they showed overjoyed expressions on their faces.
After the two exchanged a glance, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Chongran and Elder Chi Gong, saying in a loud voice, "Please rest assured, uncle and aunt, we will complete this mission and will not let you down."
Being able to become a disciple of a Jindan master is what Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun have always desired. Without any background, although they practice diligently, they have to fight for the resources for practice bit by bit on their own. Even so, it is not enough to fully support their daily practice.
If they could become disciples of a Jindan elder, then they would have some hope of condensing a Jindan in the future, instead of lingering in the foundation-building stage for so many years like now.
Wei Chongran smiled slightly, took a step forward, and gently lifted Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun up from the ground, then patted them on the shoulders to show encouragement.
"That's good. Remember, although this mission is not an important one, it is very urgent. Just go ahead and do it. The fact that you were chosen to come here is enough to show your ability."
Having said that, Wei Chongran looked to the side again, where Sun Guoshu was looking envious. Wei Chongran pondered for a moment before speaking.
"You were able to take part in this mission because of the strong recommendation of Bai Rou and Li Yan. This is a rare opportunity. If you return successfully from this mission, you will also be able to enter the outer sect of the Wuliang Sect."
