In the Zhuxia Divine Land, at the Ancient Martial Mystic Court.
Li Xuanxiao arrived at the Mission Hall and began searching for missions suitable for him.
The vast Mission Hall was bustling with countless figures wearing the robes of Ancient Martial Mystic Court Martial Artists.
The dark gold patterns on their robes showed one, two, three, or four stripes.
Various types of missions were neatly categorized and displayed.
Gathering Heaven And Earth Treasure...
Deciphering ancient martial texts...
Taming low-level Yao Beasts...
Li Xuanxiao briefly scanned them, his eyes dazzled by the sheer variety.
For him, the most important thing was always acquiring Demon value Points.
Therefore, when selecting a mission, the quantity and quality of Demon Race members were the primary conditions he had to consider.
The Ancient Martial Mystic Court truly lived up to its reputation as a top Sect in the Divine Land, offering a vast number of missions across all categories.
For a moment, he suffered from analysis paralysis.
The crucial point was that he was completely ignorant of the locations mentioned in the missions; he was utterly clueless.
After all, he had only recently arrived in the Zhuxia Divine Land and was still unfamiliar with everything here.
Being new here, he needed an experienced guide to lead the way...
Li Xuanxiao thought for a moment and took out a mysterious jade to contact Long Hui.
As a native of the Divine Land, Long Hui surely knew much more than he did.
The mysterious jade floated, projecting layers of intertwined light and shadow.
Li Xuanxiao manipulated it with his mind, sliding to Long Hui's contact entry.
Just as he was about to make contact, someone patted his shoulder.
Li Xuanxiao turned to look, and it was Long Hui!
"What a coincidence, I was just looking for you! I need to accept a demon-slaying mission. The more Demon Race members involved, the better, and their Realm should ideally be similar to mine! But I don't know where those places written in the missions are."
Long Hui glanced at Li Xuanxiao, finding it hard to fathom him.
"Others who just joined the Ancient Martial Mystic Court obediently follow the arrangements made by their Seniors. But you can't stop moving for even a moment. As soon as you lifted the qilin mark, you wanted to go out and slay Yao Beasts! In a world plagued by Yao Beasts, there will never be a shortage of monsters for you to kill. Do you need to be so impatient?"
Li Xuanxiao said seriously, "Slaying Yao Beasts and eradicating evil is the undeniable responsibility of our generation! As a Disciple of the Ancient Martial Mystic Court, I must lead by example and set a good precedent!"
Long Hui pursed his lips, "The Yunqi Kingdom recently sent a letter of appeal to our Zhuxia Divine Land. The Nanping Mountain within their national borders has recently been occupied by a group of external Heaven Realm Demon Race members. The Sovereign of the Yunqi Kingdom requested the Divine Land to dispatch Martial Artists to slay these Heaven Realm Demon Race members!"
"This mission has been assigned to our Ancient Martial Mystic Court. The reward is quite generous. How about we split it evenly after success?"
Li Xuanxiao was surprised, "Are Demon Race members categorized as external or internal?"
Long Hui explained, "In a world plagued by Yao Beasts, it's impossible for human nations to completely avoid interaction with the Demon Race. The country you came from—wasn't it coexisting with the Demon Race, forming some kind of tacit dynamic balance?"
Li Xuanxiao instantly understood. The Dayu indeed existed in coexistence with the Dayu Demon Race.
Before he rose to prominence, the Demon Race generally suppressed the Human Race, maintaining a balance where the Human Race was at a disadvantage.
After he rose, especially following the Myriad Demon Nation incident, the positions of the Human Race and Demon Race were reversed, placing the Demon Race at a disadvantage.
But no matter what, both sides remained in a state of balance.
They wouldn't simply exterminate the other side.
The Demon Race can never be completely wiped out!
From a human perspective, even if it's thankless work, once all the nearby Demon Race members are eliminated,
With the passage of time, new Demon Race members would quickly take advantage of the void and replace them.
Then, a lot of time would have to be spent in mutual attrition again.
Why bother?
It would be better to maintain a stable coexistence with the Demon Race from the start. Over time, they would understand each other's bottom lines, and neither side would go too far.
It was just like the current Central Continent, where the top factions of the Human Race and Demon Race coexist harmoniously. As long as no major incidents occur, they can remain peaceful indefinitely.
But external Demon Race members are different. They wouldn't care about balance; they come solely to slaughter indiscriminately and devour the local Human Race to advance their Realms.
It's just like the Myriad Demon Nation, which targeted not only the Dayu Human Race but also the Dayu Demon Race.
They could be considered the common enemy of both the Human Race and Demon Race factions that had already established a balance!
Thinking this way, Li Xuanxiao immediately understood.
"Alright! As long as there are Yao Beasts to kill, I'm in!"
Reward or not was a minor issue; after all, no reward could compare to Demon value Points.
Long Hui nodded, took out a mission Jade Slip, and handed it to Li Xuanxiao.
Li Xuanxiao projected his consciousness into it, and a flood of information instantly filled his mind.
Location, target, reward...
In just a short moment, Li Xuanxiao basically understood the mission details.
He immediately took out a thousand-mile talisman and contacted Wu Jiangming.
He had promised to take the person along, and he intended to keep his word.
Soon, the three gathered at a designated location and headed together toward the Yunqi Kingdom.
Long Hui looked at the Fat Daoist, Wu Jiangming, and said bluntly, "Fat Daoist, this is a Heaven Realm level mission! If you're a Origin Realm cultivator, you might very well lose your life! If a fight breaks out, who will have time to worry about you? You still have time to regret it now."
Wu Jiangming laughed heartily, "Lord Long Hui doesn't need to worry about me. Since I dared to come out, I have my own means of support. I can't promise to help you two much, but I can at least guarantee that I won't drag you down!"
Long Hui pursed his lips, "You better be right!"
The three soon arrived at the Cloud Top Fairy Boat and embarked on the journey to the Yunqi Kingdom.
...
After a period of investigation, Bian Qing was finally completely certain that the Long Hui he was looking for was indeed the person he sought!
The other party had indeed returned to the Divine Land from somewhere in the south recently, traveling by Cloud Top Fairy Boat.
After returning, he had indeed returned to his Sect, the Ancient Martial Mystic Court, at the first opportunity.
Following that, came all the scenes Bian Qing had personally witnessed—the other party appearing at the Taiyi Dao Sect.
The time, location, and identity matched perfectly!
Bian Qing secretly admired his own ability to gather intelligence, confirming the other party's identity so easily.
After some thought, he immediately decided to return to the Lingxi Grotto-Heaven first.
Since this involved one of the Three Great Top Factions of the Divine Land, he dared not make a decision on his own; it had to be presented to the Family Head for a personal ruling!
To eliminate the other party stealthily within the territory of the Divine Land was not something he could achieve alone.
He either needed to dispatch more people to cooperate with him, or find a way to lure Long Hui outside the Divine Land.
In short, he absolutely had to ensure no traces were left behind!
The people of the Ancient Martial Mystic Court were a group of vengeful individuals.
It is said that a gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years.
The Ancient Martial Mystic Court's revenge starts from morning till night!
The Qilin Clan had a small population, and recently the Family Head had fortunately added two more offspring.
They still needed time to grow and required a relatively peaceful environment; they could not afford to cause any trouble at this juncture!
If anything happened to them, it would be a huge loss for the Qilin Clan.
After contemplating everything, Bian Qing set off on the path back to the Lingxi Grotto-Heaven.
