With Xing Chen being caught, this mission came to an end.
Next, they began to question him. He was pale white and was on his last breaths. He looked at Zhao Feng in fear.
After escaping from the cave luckily, Xing Chen used the familiar terrains to his advantage and he soon found a hidden resting spot. Xing Chen was sure that only he knew about the hiding spot. Furthermore, there were many traps and mechanisms here so that even if someone followed, he would know.
However, these traps and mechanisms were like air in front of this azure haired one-eyed youth. Zhao Feng didn’t touch any of the traps and he had entered the hiding spot. Xing Chen immediately attacked when he saw Zhao Feng. Xing Chen thought that with his 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm cultivation, he would only need one move to win, even though he was severely injured.
However, it didn’t go plan. Instead of beating the opponent in a few moves, he himself was caught by the azure haired youth in a few moves.
Thinking about how he had been caught alive by a youth at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm, Xing Chen was still full of shock and fear. Under their questioning, he answered everything.
It all started a few months ago.
At that time, he was as calm as usual and he was still at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm.
On a certain day, Xing Chen was chasing a peak tier deadly beast and he found the Illusion array of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.
He was proficient in arrays, so after spending a lot of time, he entered the array through its flaws.
“... I was full of excitement and joy as I entered the cave. But I met the Protector of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. At that time, the Protector was extremely weak because it had just woken up and it wasn’t my match. But it was extremely cunning and used treasures to lure me.”
Speaking up to here, Xing Cheng sighed, he was full of regret.
Zhao Feng could guess what the rest of the story was.
Xing Chen accidentally got hit by the corpse poison and he was threatened by the Blood Corpse sub-division Protector.
After that, Xing Chen listened to the orders of the Protector to live as well as increase his own cultivation.
In just a few months time, the Xing family head had reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm and he wanted to join the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.
“Where did the plague come from and what’s its purpose?” Xu Ren asked suspiciously.
Xing Chen was full of bitterness: “The plague was spread by how the Protector ordered to and its purpose was to create blood essence pills as well as blood jade pills. At the same time, the plague could attract cultivators of the Ascended Realm and if everything went to plan, the Blood Jade pills could be made. Then the Protectors’ injuries would heal a bit and it would recover its cultivation back to the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm. At that time, we would leave the cave and find the other strongholds of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion… ”
Knowing the truth, the four started to sweat. This mission was just a bait luring disciples of the Clan. This mission was at least at 4 stars, something that Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen didn’t expect either.
Zhao Feng analysed that some of the information and reports on the mission were withheld.
Before they left, there were already several cultivators at the Ascended Realm who had came here, but they had mysteriously vanished and became blood essence pills.
The true danger involved was much greater than imagined and it was at least a 3 star mission.
Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen hid this and used Huang Yun to group Xu Ren and Xiao Sun together with Zhao Feng and Lin Fan.
It could be imagined that Huang Yun, Xu Ren and Xiao Sun would suppress Zhao Feng in the mission. Huang Yun listened to Yuan Zhi and his aim was to take care off Zhao Feng. Lin Fan was extremely unlucky and he was sent on this mission as well.
…..
No one was idiots here and knowing what had happened, the truth began to surface.
The lucky thing was that Zhao Feng had turned the tide and saved everyone.
“Lin Fan and Xiao Sun, you two return to the Sky Moon Mountain and tell the high authorities of the Clan everything. I’ll stay here with Brother Zhao Feng to guard this place and the prisoner.” Vice leader Xu Ren said.
This was decided by him and Zhao Feng.
After Huang Yun’s death, Zhao Feng became the core of the group and everyone else was grateful to him. Because Lin Fan and Xiao Sun’s strength were low, they were sent back to the Broken Moon Clan. Since Zhao Feng and Xu Ren were stronger, they would guard the prisoner and the stronghold.
In this period, Zhao Feng and Xu Ren ravaged the cave and they found many resources and primal crystal stones.
“A total of 23 low-grade primal crystal stones, 98 resources, 100 or so broken mortal weapons… ”
Zhao Feng and Xu Ren placed the spoils of war in categories.
The primal crystal stones were a
