Xu Qing did it.
The big task Kong Xianglong mentioned was a secret order given to him by his field office.
No other division is allowed to participate in the mission that was originally ordered.
But Kong Xianglong thought that Xu Qing needed military merit, and other friends also needed it, so he worked hard to win this opportunity to let other sword bearers participate as assistants.
And he is willing to guarantee it for this matter.
In addition to some sword holders from the Field Office, the participants included Xu Qing, Shan Hezi, Wang Chen, and Ye Ling.
As for the task...
"This is a coordinating task."
In the field office of the Sword Holding Palace late at night, Xu Qing and others arrived one after another. A total of seventeen sword holders gathered here at this moment, looking at Kong Xianglong who was in the middle with a solemn expression.
"Let's start first. On the way, I will explain some mission procedures to you in detail, but according to the rules, any external sound transmission jade slips on your body must be blocked."
"Until the mission is completed and we return, during this period you will not be able to use the jade slips to transmit sound to the outside world. Only as the person in charge of this mission, I can."
Kong Xianglong had a serious expression on his face, and after he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately a sword-wielder from the Field Office who was in charge of this matter came out, clasped his fists at everyone, and stepped forward to seal them.
The method of sealing is very simple, to ban and remove the seal.
Following this person's tricks, a series of restrictions fell on everyone.
Xu Qing looked at the others and found that no one had any objection. At the same time, he also knew that this was what should be done for the mission, so after carefully checking the restrictions, he tacitly allowed his external sound transmission jade slip to lose its effect.
This prohibition really only has this function, nothing else.
And before he came here, he sent a voice transmission to Shangxian Zixuan to inform him that he might be going out, and at the same time, he also asked for leave from the prison department.
At this moment, the prohibition seal was completed. With Kong Xianglong waving his hands, everyone set off to the teleportation hall of the Sword Holding Palace, stepped into it one after another, and teleported together.
As the light of the formation shone, the figures of the seventeen of them disappeared.
When it appeared, it was already far away from the county, which was the border between the county capital and Tianyun Prefecture.
"Three days later, we will reach another teleportation point, but from now on, we will hide our tracks along the way, everyone will change the clothes of the sword bearer, and we will set off."
Under the dark night sky, Kong Xianglong looked at the people around him and spoke in a low voice.
Xu Qing's expression was dignified. He saw that this mission was extraordinary. After all, he had a lot of military exploits, so it was naturally dangerous, so he changed the sword-wielding Taoist robe.
No one in the group spoke, and after finishing quickly, they galloped in the night under the leadership of Kong Xianglong.
"Now let me tell you about the mission."
"The task this time is to meet a dark son who is lurking in the Shenglan tribe in my Sword Palace!"
"This Anzi has been lurking in the Shenglan clan for many years. He has recently returned. Our task is to meet him at the border and protect him all the way back to Zhijian Palace."
While running fast, Kong Xianglong spoke to the people around him.
"As for whether he has revealed his identity, whether he has found any unusual clues, and why he can't convey it through other means and can only escape in person, these may be in your mind, but I tell you clearly, Don't think about it, it's not for us to know."
Kong Xianglong looked at Xu Qing, Shanhezi and the others. He obviously didn't say these words to the sword bearers of the Foreign Affairs Office, but to remind Xu Qing and them.
Xu Qing nodded. As an old murderer, he naturally understood this truth.
Shanhezi and the others also expressed their understanding.
"But there is one thing I firmly believe in. This Anzi who is willing to lurk in the Shenglan clan will have no problem with his identity, and it is absolutely impossible for him to betray the sword bearer."
"In addition, I personally analyze that Anzi's return should have its own cover-up. Maybe it's not him who we are going to meet, and it may just be nothing."
"There is a high probability that other teams are also performing this task, but the direction should be different from ours."
"There must be a strong person in the palace, but it's not here, I don't know." Kong Xianglong looked at Xu Qing and the others, and whispered.
"Brother Kong, why should you be so detailed this time?" Shan Hezi glanced at Xu Qing.
Ye Ling frowned and gave Xu Qing the same look.
In fact, they were a little bit repelled from the bottom of their hearts when calling for Xu Qing to participate this time, not because they were bored, but because they were not used to it.
After all, as a small team, they have never joined anyone else.
Xu Qing was the only one in these years.
Wang Chen, on the other hand, looked indifferent, sitting on the coffin while panting.
Xu Qing looked as usual and didn't speak.
"Xu Qing is participating in a mission with us for the first time, so there is a misunderstanding and we must explain it clearly in advance." Kong Xianglong said with a smile.
Seeing what Kong Xianglong said, Ye Ling and Shan Hezi stopped talking.
The other sword bearers in the field office pretended not to see all this, but in fact they were very familiar with Shan Hezi and the others. After all, every time Kong Xianglong was on a field mission, these three men would always be there.
In this way, a group of people galloped through the night, and time passed slowly.
Xu Qing's speed is not the fastest, but it's not the slowest either. While accompanying him, he analyzes the tasks in his heart, and at the same time recalls the history of the ten thousand races explained by the prime minister during the secret training.
The Shenglan clan is a clan that formed after the Grand Duke Shenglan betrayed the human race. As a traitor to the human race, he and the human race are on fire, life and death enemies.
They are attached to the Heitian Clan, and they have been given blood by the Heitian Clan to integrate into their own clansmen. For generations, a trace of black blood has been added to the red blood of the members of the Shenglan Clan.
And in previous years of friction, the Shenglan clan was more brutal than the Heitian clan in the fight with the human race. It seemed that the more cruel they were to the human race, the more they could prove themselves.
At the same time, the only Fenghai county in the Shenglan territory that was not unified by him was also a tiger's eyesight.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were still concerned about the human empire, they would have swallowed the Feng Hai Bu long ago.
But the human race understands, and Fenghai County understands even more, that there will be a battle between the two sides in the future.
Today's balance is extremely fragile, and the slightest thing can be broken.
In fact, it's not just Fenghai County, Xu Qing knows from the secret training that the other six counties are in a similar situation, and some counties have even lost several states.
"The wind and rain are swaying, and the building will fall." These were the words of helplessness that Jun Cheng said in his vicissitudes of life that day.
In Xu Qing's thoughts, three days passed in a flash, during which Kong Xianglong also told him about the code name.
Every time we go out on a mission, everyone will not call their names, and each has a temporary code name.
"Child."
Xu Qing said softly, this is his code name for this mission, and he intends to use this code name forever.
"Okay, this time I'm called Brother Long, haha, you can all call me that." Kong Xianglong said with a smile.
Soon, everyone came to the second teleportation point, and moved to another place through this place. After several days of travel, they finally arrived in Linlan Prefecture.
This is one of the borders between Fenghai County and the Shenglan tribe.
"With one last teleportation, we can reach the border area."
After arriving here, everyone's vigilance was extremely strong. Although this place was still within the scope of Fenghai County, it bordered Shenglan after all.
Even if there are regulations between the two clans, if any Nascent Soul cultivator dares to step half a step beyond their respective borders, they will be immediately obliterated by the taboo magic weapon, but they have to guard against it.
What's more, the high-level Tiangong Golden Elixir is equipped with some more lethal things, which are equally astonishingly powerful.
It was also late at night, the sky couldn't see the moon, it was covered by dark clouds, only streaks of lightning swam away, there was a roaring sound, and the rain was also pouring down at this moment.
In the heavy rain, the seventeen figures went straight to the teleportation array without stopping.
Not long after, when more rain fell, a simple stone castle appeared in front of them in the distance. Xu Qing's eyes showed a cold light, and he smelled blood.
At the same time, Shanhezi, Wang Chen, and Ye Ling all had expressions on their faces.
Kong Xianglong squinted his eyes earlier, and the moment he raised his right hand, everyone squatted down immediately, and their expressions became serious.
"The teleportation site didn't release the signal that only the sword holder can see according to the stipulated time. There... something went wrong."
"Child, demon girl, Yang Ling, He Dao, you four each bring three people, I can do it alone, we divide into five directions and step in at the same time, if we encounter any foreign races, we will kill them all!"
"If you meet Gao Gong, wait for me." Kong Xianglong was also a decisive person, so he spoke immediately.
After speaking, he rushed out and went straight to the fortress ahead. Xu Qing turned to look at the sword-holders from the field office. They were instantly divided into Shanhezi and the three of them.
It was too late for the remaining three choices, so I looked at Xu Qing.
"Three friends, don't follow too closely." Xu Qing threw out three pill bottles, which contained special detoxification pills.
After Xu Qing joined the sword-bearer, in order to avoid what happened in the Hall of Knowledge from happening again, he was equipped with some antidotes that could easily dissolve his non-drug-forbidden poison.
It's just that his poison is heavily mixed, although the antidote has the effect, but if it is directly inhaled, it still won't work.
But if the distance is longer, it will still be possible after most of the poison dissipates.
Then Xu Qing rushed away, and the others did the same. The three looked at each other and followed behind Xu Qing.
Soon, the seventeen sword bearers divided into five directions and approached the fort.
Without any pause, Xu Qing rushed forward instantly, the poison pill in his body vibrated, and the poison permeated his whole body, while serving as a layer of protection, he raised his right hand with a wave, and immediately a large amount of poison powder spread out .
After finishing all this, he had already stepped into the fortress. As soon as he entered, he heard the roar of spells coming from a distance. At the same time, there was a cold hum coming from in front of him. The next moment, a figure moved extremely fast, and the ambush was approaching.
The other party was a middle-aged man, wearing a black robe, and his appearance was no different from that of a human race, except for a black line between his eyebrows, and his five palace golden core cultivation had exploded, but before he got close to Xu Qing, his complexion changed, and his eyes brightened. Shocked, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"What kind of poison is this!"
Poison, he was not surprised, what surprised him was that the poison was too strong, at this moment, he just took a sip close to it, and he felt that his internal organs were burning, and his eyes turned black.
And the next moment, he was no longer qualified to continue to be amazed, Xu Qing was too fast, the dagger bestowed by the captain appeared in Xu Qing's hand when the moment was approaching, he grasped the handle wrapped around the shroud, and walked away from the middle-aged man Pass.
With a touch of the dagger on his neck, his head flew up.
Xu Qing looked as usual, stepping into the night with a cat waist, changing from prey to hunter, walking all the way in the dark corner, galloping forward, he suddenly accelerated, and swung the dagger in front of him.
A figure that rushed out suddenly before he could make a move, its head was delivered to Xu Qing, and it flew high in disbelief. Xu Qing didn't even look at it, and disappeared again in a flash.
Soon, a monk of the Shenglan tribe who was hiding in the dark, staring around, waiting for someone to come and shoot, was looking into the distance, and suddenly his expression changed. He was about to fight back but it was too late.
Xu Qing's figure appeared behind him strangely, the dagger slashed across his neck without stopping.
Then Xu Qing frowned, and there was a whistling sound from behind, but as the red lightning and the shadow's eyes opened, the body of the person behind Xu Qing's sneak attack shook, and the iron stick penetrated directly between his eyebrows.
But at this moment, the magic roared in the fortress, the sounds of fighting continued to come out, and Kong Xianglong's low growl came from mid-air, and there were four Shenglan tribes with eight palaces fighting power around him.
Being able to have the combat power of the eight palaces, it can be seen that these four should not be ordinary people in the Shenglan clan, and each of them has imperial-level skills.
Their emperor-level skills are obviously standard, each of them transformed into black monster hands, superimposed on each other to exude amazing power, and formed a formation with each other, and even used four magic weapon fragments.
All this is not for killing, because it is too difficult to kill Kong Xianglong, so their purpose is to form a trap to trap Kong Xianglong.
At the same time, the sky was filled with thunder, as if it was being attracted and gathered, it was about to fall, and the target was Kong Xianglong.
Seeing all this, Xu Qing's eyes became even colder, but he didn't rush away, but turned his head to look at the dark place ahead.
There was a figure there, walking step by step.
"Interesting, this time the sword bearer of the human race is a bit different from what we black guards usually meet."
The Shenglan tribe also has a department similar to the Sword Holding Palace, called the Black Guards.
But at this moment, there was a whistling sound from behind Xu Qing, and the three sword bearers from the field office rushed over. After feeling the poison along the way, they took a lot of detoxification pills.
This is because Xu Qing restrained himself after killing the person and took back part of the poison, otherwise the detoxification pill would be useless.
Along the way, they even saw the Shenglan clan who lost their heads and were killed in one blow.
Each of them has the same five-house combat power as them.
So the bottom of my heart was shocked by Xu Qing.
They had heard that this group of newly promoted sword-wielders was different from the previous ones. There were a few monsters among them, including Xu Qing, but they had never seen him make a move after all.
Now seeing Xu Qing's terror with their own eyes, they felt very deeply.
In fact, they themselves are also good people. Any one of them who performs tasks outside alone has a good record, but in comparison, it is still not as good.
"There are three more." At the same time as the three sword-wielders from the Field Office appeared, a figure from the dark also came out, wearing a black Taoist robe with golden flames embroidered on it. It seemed that there was a holy fire burning in the dark night. Good volatility.
The huge black handprint formed by ascending emperor-level exercises on the back supports six heavenly palaces, and while the pressure is scattered, it also reveals the combat power of this person's seven palaces.
