Chapter 372: Reception Mission

"So, your mission is to bring back the batch of fire seeds that escaped from the Tianhe Sect!"

"This matter cannot be neglected. It is crucial for the next battle with the Chi Demon Clan!"

"Remember, you must not make it public."

Master Xuyun solemnly instructed Li Qing and others, his expression was extremely solemn.

The remaining fire seeds and the fragments of the water spirit beads

The people who had barely digested this information still had disbelief on their faces.

Even Li Qing's inner mood became extremely complicated. He had just received the spiritual letter from Master Xuyun for an urgent call.

As soon as he arrived on Yunxiao Island, he heard the words of the master.

The Tianhe Sect was really completely destroyed. Several Jindan ancestors in the sect fought to the death, and only then did one ancestor of the Shangqing Sect die. Although the rest were also seriously injured, they were able to recover from their injuries.

When thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but think of a gentle figure like water.

Is Su Xin still alive?

Li Qing clenched his fists involuntarily, his eyes were filled with heaviness.

"Then how do we know which Tianhe Sect elder merged with the fragment of the Water Spirit Pearl?" Wu Chong asked curiously.

For such an important operation, Sect Master Xuyun only summoned some of the most trusted elders in the sect, including Li Qing. Wu Chong, as the disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Patriarch, was also included.

Sect Master Xuyun shook his head and said, "I don't know. Qingxuan only mentioned these in the last spiritual letter he sent to me. I think he wanted to use this to let Lingyun Sect protect the remaining fire of Tianhe Sect."

"What if there is a Jindan Patriarch from Shangqing Sect chasing me? I have just established my foundation, why do I have to carry out such a mission!"

The one who said this was Lu Fan, who had a bitter expression on his face, and he felt so uncomfortable in his heart.

Originally, because of committing a serious mistake, he was directly imprisoned in the ice prison for half a year.

But it was a coincidence that he was locked up in the ice prison and just happened to escape the disaster of the demon cave.

But who would have thought that he would be sent out to perform the sect's mission just after he came out of the ice prison and had not yet enjoyed the benefits and prestige of the elders.

And the head of Xuyun naturally had a reason to choose him. It was because Lu Fan built his foundation late, and he had just come out of the ice prison, so his identity was absolutely clean, just right for this mission.

"Don't worry, the Jindan ancestors of Shangqing Sect were all seriously injured. At this level of cultivation, how could it be so easy to kill the cultivators of the same level?"

"Even if the Jindan combat power of Shangqing Sect is more than that of Tianhe Sect, it is estimated that this time it will not be easy."

The head of Xuyun shook his head, and then continued: "In addition, Junior Brother Lu Fan, you are still a person who is guilty of meritorious service. When you go out to perform the mission, you must listen to the orders of the other people!"

As soon as these words came out, the bitterness on Lu Fan's face became even stronger.

"Anything else you want to ask?"

Master Xuyun put his hands behind his back and looked around at the people.

Everyone remained silent, obviously there were no other questions.

Seeing this scene, Master Xuyun said leisurely: "Junior Brother Li, this time when we go out of the sect to perform the mission, you will be the one leading the command. Remember to adapt to the situation in the future."

"Me?" Li Qing was slightly startled. He didn't expect that such command power would fall on him.

"Well, you are experienced, this matter must be yours!" Master Xuyun said with a smile.

Originally, he wanted to decline, but Li Qing thought carefully about the people who were traveling with him, and he smiled bitterly in his heart and silently accepted this responsibility.

First, Fatty Wu, although he was taught by the old ancestor of the Jindan, his experience was indeed shallow. If he was allowed to lead the team, I don't know how much risk he would take.

The second is Shen Ningbing. She has an ice spirit root and has always been cold and arrogant. Her temperament is as cold as ice. It is obviously a bit difficult for her to take the command.

Finally, it was Lu Fan, who had strong limbs but a simple mind. He had just come out of the ice prison and probably hadn't figured out the matter yet.

After thinking about it, this matter could only fall on his head!

"Okay, Junior Brother, I will definitely live up to your trust!" Li Qing said with a fist.

Sect Master Xuyun nodded with satisfaction, and then took out a purple jade pendant and handed it directly to Li Qing.

"If you really encounter any irresistible danger, crush this jade pendant, and the sect will send someone to pick you up as soon as possible."

After taking the jade pendant, Li Qing quietly put it away, and finally left Yunxiao Island with three people.

"Li Qing, are we leaving now? There is no time to lose, we must go to pick up the people from Tianhe Sect as soon as possible!" Fatty Wu said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Li Qing sighed, thinking that Fatty Wu really had no experience at all.

"Don't rush. The distance from Tianhe Sect to Mu Country is long and it is impossible to get there in a short time."

"Go back to your cave and prepare yourself. Make sure you have all the magic tools, elixirs, spirit stones, talismans, etc. ready!"

"We may have to face the elders of Qing Sect directly this time. We can't be careless!"

"Gather in front of the mountain gate in half an hour."

After giving the first order, Li Qing took the lead and returned to his cave.

He didn't have much to prepare. Basically, everything he needed was in the storage bag, but he had to bring the rice bucket with him.

After all, the rice bucket was a second-level monster with strong combat power. It couldn't be ignored.

Half an hour later, in front of the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect.

Li Qing stepped on the Spear of Wind, spread out a whole map of Qingling Territory in his hand, and bowed his head to think silently.

"According to common sense, this trip should go directly to the northwest of Mu Country, which is the closest to Tianhe Sect."

"But there is a large desolate and lonely plain there. If you are not proficient in earth escape, it is difficult to escape from there."

Regarding escaping, Li Qing asked himself that he had a strong say.

At the beginning, he escaped from Tianhe Sect to Lingyun Sect. He experienced thousands of difficulties and dangers along the way.

The people who chased him were people from Tianhe Sect, but things are unpredictable. This time he actually had to save people from Tianhe Sect.

"Alas, things are unpredictable"

Sighing, Li Qing's eyes instantly locked on the northeast direction on the map.

"In this war between the two sects, Shangqing Sect definitely went all out and surrounded Tianhe Sect with all its strength for half a year."

"Now that Tianhe Sect is destroyed, there are definitely many things to take over and deal with in the surrounding area."

"If it were me, I would definitely not choose the shortest route, because Shangqing Sect's defense is absolutely tight."

"On the contrary, because the war has just ended, Shangqing Sect's own territory must be empty."

Just like his original escape route, he ventured deep into Shangqing Sect and borrowed the road from Liang State to the south to Mu State.

"This is it." Li Qing's eyes condensed slightly, and his sight was fixed on the northeastern direction where Mu State and Liang State bordered.

After speaking, Li Qing put away the map, and soon he found that someone was waiting in front of the mountain gate.

Seeing this, Li Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lu Fan, why are you here so early? Don't you need to go back to the cave to prepare?"

Lu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, have you forgotten that I was just released from the ice prison? I haven't even had time to claim the cave yet! What else can I prepare!"

Hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Soon, two consecutive sounds of breaking through the air came from the mountain gate.

Shen Ningbing and Wu Chong flew over at the same time. The latter's mouth was stuffed with food, and the storage bags on his waist were also very full. No need to guess, it should be full of food.

"Brother Li, I'm ready and can set off at any time." Shen Ningbing said in a cold voice.

Wu Chong also nodded repeatedly on the side, and then chewed the food in big mouthfuls.

"Okay, let's set off."

After speaking, he took out a snake-headed spirit boat from his storage bag.

Since joining the sect, he has taken some free time to transform this spiritual boat.

Although it is still equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon, it is much more sophisticated than before.

His transformation direction for the snake-headed spiritual boat is still speed and lightness. For this reason, he added a small amount of special wind-attributed spiritual materials, and then added many light spiritual patterns.

Under the premise of sacrificing the performance of attack and defense, this spiritual boat is now absolutely top-notch in terms of speed.

The space of the snake-headed spiritual boat is quite spacious. Although it is not as big as the giant spiritual ship that the old ancestor Tuntian took out that day, it is more than enough for four people.

After Li Qing got on it, Shen Ningbing sat next to Li Qing without changing his expression.

Fatty Wu and Lu Fan could only sit side by side in the back.

"Brother Lu, do you want a roasted leg of lamb?" Fatty Wu, with a greasy mouth, handed one leg of lamb to Lu Fan generously.

Lu Fan, who was quite big, swallowed his saliva, then took the lamb leg and started to eat it.

The two people in the back row each had a lamb leg in their hands, and they were enjoying it very much, without any of the pure and abstinent desires that a cultivator should have!

Smelling the meaty aroma in the air, Li Qing had a frown on his face, it turned out that he was using his spirit boat as a dining car.

"It smells so good!" Lu Fan praised.

"Of course, this is my master's unique secret recipe, and it's sprinkled on it."

Boom!

Before Fatty Wu finished speaking, Li Qing urged the spirit boat to take off, and then it passed the skyline at a very fast speed.
