Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled! 327 Chapter 320: All Followers Move Out!

"Hey, what do you think about yesterday? Did the Lord really meant what he said?" Wei Shang said to Fei Longwei who was currently cultivating by the shadow of a pine tree in the garden beside him.

Since they were both cultivating the dark element cultivation, being in the shadow or somewhere dark will substantially boost their cultivation rate.

Fei Longwei was silent for a moment before nodding, "I think the Lord was indeed serious and I might understand why."

Wei Shang had been pondering upon their Lord's words since last night. As far as he recalled, their Lord wasn't someone murderous, so he was genuinely interested in knowing the reason behind this matter.

"Oh? Why?" he asked, cupping his chin.

Fei Longwei exhaled a silent sigh before replying, "Obviously, a single rumor about a cultivator possessing an ultimate graded weapon would send the entire pugilistic world on a hunting mission."

He then opened his eyes to look at Wei Shang that were currently staring at him and continued, "This is why the Lord warned us strictly to not use the weapon carelessly. If we are forced to draw them out, then we must be sure to kill our opponent! Otherwise, it would become an endless trouble for us down the line!"

Hearing this explanation from Fei Longwei, Wei Shang nodded in comprehension with a serious look to his face.

So that's the case!

"It appears that great treasures, while granting their owner extreme benefits, also possesses their own disadvantages as well.." he lamented as he stared at the blue sky, seeming to comprehend another aspect of life.

Truly the wonders of the world! Like the Yin and Yang, both advantages and disadvantages comes hand in hand!

Wengg!!

Suddenly, their communication jade slip stowed in their spatial ring glowed brightly at the same time and sent them signals.

"This.." Both of them turned to each other with a grim look on their face.

They finally received a mission from Duan Li!

This was one of the benefit of being a Lord cla.s.s; able to give missions to their followers as long as the academy agrees to it, and that the given mission was deemed to be not too dangerous for the students.

Normally, while this was indeed possible, giving them missions outside of the academy would usually be denied unless for special reasons.

However, now that their Lord was a renown figure, who would even dare question his request?

Even if their Lord held another ident.i.ty as a student of the academy and was also subjected to the rules and regulations of the academy until graduation, one would still need to bend a few of the rules for the comfort of the Jiu Empire's Imperial Overseer!

"We need to head out to the villages near the southern border? That's fine I guess.. but the villages on this list.." Wei Shang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

They are all near one of the forbidden region on the South.. the Forest of Slumber!

I hope that the mission will not require us to venture there..

"Hmm.. it seems that we only needed to scout for information regarding the last whereabouts of the Lord's mother. This is simple enough, but... " Fei Longwei contemplated for a moment with creased brows trying to comprehend something before releasing a deep sigh.

Hais!

The mission itself was not the problem, as gathering intelligence was quite common, but the extra note..

Pu!

Wei Shang almost choked on himself as he read the last instruction;

'Under the recommendation from Di Rou, Cucko and his minions will join your party. They are highly trained for intelligence gathering and should be quite useful. Treat them well.'

"What in the world..." Wei Shang slapped his forehead and felt a sudden headache. Turning to Fei Longwei, he asked with a twitching lips, "Hey, can you speak with chickens?"

"..." Fei Longwei replied with a piercing gaze towards him.

Oh boy.. this is going to be one h.e.l.l of a mission..

...

Meanwhile, Xu Rong and Xiahou Yu that were currently at the kitchen cooking their breakfast also abruptly received a mission from Duan Li.

"Go to the Seven Saints Culinary and speak with the Seven Saints Chef? He wants us to gather a few ingredients for him?" Xu Rong said in surprise as she stared at the absurdly long list of ingredients before turning to Xiahou Yu.

"What do you think he is planning to do with all these... ingredients?" she asked.

Xiahou Yu was also looking at the list before shaking her head, "I don't know.. let's go there in the afternoon.." she replied.

They then liased with Di Rou via their communication jade slip who also agreed to help them out after receiving permission from Duan Li.

...

At Na Zem Xi's stall..

"Oh? You guys are back! Did Elderly Junior sent you guys to buy some of my wares again? I'll be sure to sell them cheap!" Na Zem Xi said with excitement in his voice.

Elderly Junior was the name that Duan Li used to identify himself to him back then. Regardless of the peculiarity of the alias, he felt it to be quite normal for those who wanted to remain anonymous but still flamboyant, as the name sticks like mud in his mind.

In addition, from the money he made after Duan Li's purchase, he was able to secure himself a proper building in the Cloud district to finally start his own company the professional way.

Right now, the building was in the process of renovation and it would probably take a few days to be completed. Therefore, he still had to operate his business in this dilapidated stall of his temporarily.

"Yes, we came here under his orders, but not to buy something from you. This time, he is offering you a deal!" Shen Lu said and handed a jade slip to Na Zem Xi.

"A deal? Very well, let me have a look first!" he replied and held the jade slip in his hand before infusing his spiritual Qi into it to read the contents.

A few moments later, his excited face finally turned grim.

"Who could have known..." he said after a long while with a deep sigh.

"Be rest a.s.sured! Please relay my message to Esteemed customer, Elderly Junior, that it shall be carried out without fail!" he replied to Shen Lu and Guo He with a confident expression.

"En!" they both nodded before leaving the stall.

After a dozen meters away, Guo He spoke to Shen Lu beside him with a perplexed expression, "Hey Brother Shen Lu, since you have known our Lord the longest, what do you think his plans are?"

Shen Lu chuckled for a bit before replying, "Well, he did explain it to me in detail personally. But he told me to not say a word about it to anyone else yet."

Guo He looked disappointed hearing this reply. Noticing this, Shen Lu laughed for a moment before patting him by the shoulder, "Don't worry, when the time is right, you will know!"

As Duan Li's friend and the Strategist of the Mysterious party, it was natural for Duan Li to divulge the crux of the plan to him. But since Duan Li instructed to not tell anyone yet, then regardless who it was, be it even Xiahou Yu, he will still close his lips tight regarding the matter!

Staring at the sky with his hands clasped behind his back, he couldn't help but to sigh in admiration.

Brother, to think that you have planned it out so far... even with my insights, there are still some things that are not clear to me as well..

Hais!

...

"Brother Shen Murong, why do we have to go to the Red Desert? Isn't that supposed to be a forbidden region?" w.a.n.g Dong threw a question to break the silence as he yawned while bolting through the air, heading Southwest of the Jiu Empire's border along with Shen Murong and Wei w.a.n.g.

"Brother w.a.n.g Dong, it seems that he wanted us to go search for a certain place. But the b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn't even told us to find something specific, just that we need to stow everything into these tens of spatial rings that he gave us!" Shen Murong replied, his tone a little upset.

He felt that Duan Li was asking them to become like bandits, stowing everything that seems to be of value in a certain ruin at the Red Desert, which was the current destination that they were heading to.

w.a.n.g Dong laughed awkwardly when he heard this. Only Shen Murong could say such things about their Lord without repercussion somehow.

"Bahahahaha! Brother Shen Murong, let's not be upset! Perhaps the Lord wants us to let loose for a while? If I recall correctly, there are plenty of undead skeletons at the Red Desert! It should be good for practice!" w.a.n.g Dong said after laughing out loud, full of positivity.

"Bahahahahaha! Brother w.a.n.g Dong is right! So what if it is one of the forbidden region? This Shen Murong isn't afraid of some puny undead! I couldn't wait to turn their home upside down!"

"Bahahahahahahahaha!" the both of them continued to laugh as their conversation slowly turned more barbaric and uncivilized as time went on.

"..." Wei w.a.n.g.

The Lord must have made a mistake, making me a party with these two lunatics...

Am I going to be fine?
