C197 Task

In the inner circle, everything that happened to the Xuansheng Sect and the Heluo Sect was merely a microcosm of the group of disciples from the six major sects of the Three Holy Grounds. There were those who went through all sorts of difficulties to eventually get the Spiritual Herb, and those who went through all sorts of painstaking efforts and even lost their lives, only to end up with nothing.

Fang Yunlong who was in the tree hole finally woke up from his meditation. At this time, a bright light circulated in his eyes and his spirit was complete.

Fang Yunlong stretched his back and rested for an entire day. All the exhaustion in his body was swept away. The effect of the Qi Replenishing Pill was indeed not to be underestimated. Four hours after consuming it, the Spiritual Strength in Fang Yunlong's body had already completely recovered.

However, his mental state was still lacking, and in a day's worth of time, Fang Yunlong decided to wait until he recovered to his peak before continuing his Proving Ground journey.

Just as Fang Yunlong was about to leave the tree hole, a voice came out. "Eh?" He called out, "Strange, logically speaking, all the cultivators from the sects should have only been here for a day, why are they already here?" "The only way is if we don't stop for a long way. It would be more likely if we come all the way from the foot of the mountain."

Fang Yunlong slowly sat down and decided to take a look at the situation.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, a group of four men and one woman, who were dressed in red, walked to a place not far from Fang Yunlong.

A cultivator with Fire Cloud Sect, Fang Yunlong was somewhat puzzled. This Fire Cloud Sect was not a sect like the Three Holy Grounds, in terms of disciple strength and sharpness of magic tools, it was merely slightly higher than the Heluo Sect by a level.

Why did these disciples not stay at the foot of the mountain to plunder the Spiritual Herb but instead directly ran to the mountainside?

At this time, the only Female Cultivator out of the five Fire Cloud Sect cultivators spoke in a delicate voice: "Senior Brother Zhong, we have traveled continuously for a day, shouldn't we rest a bit?"

Although this female cultivator was not a beauty from the Tian Xiang Country, she was still considered extremely alluring. Even though Fang Yunlong was so far away from her, he could smell the thick fragrance of her makeup.

Moreover, this female cultivator's words carried a bewitching tone. As she spoke, her peach blossom eyes fluttered about, captivating one's soul. She must have cultivated some sort of bewitching technique.

"Senior Martial Brother Zhong?" The middle-aged man who was called Senior Martial Brother Zhong by the female cultivator was expressionless and stern, as if he was already accustomed to the female cultivator's charming techniques. Junior sister Ding, time is of the essence, let's wait until we reach that place before we rest. As long as we can complete this mission as soon as possible, our journey for this trial will not be in vain. "

A young cultivator with a white face interjected, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, we are still quite a distance away from that place. I think what Senior Sister Ding said makes sense. Let's take a rest first.

After all, no one would have thought that we would give up all the Spiritual Herb at the foot of the mountain and come straight here. No one else will be here for two days.

After a day of continuous travel, Senior Martial Brother Zhong's strength is deep, so he naturally does not feel tired nor does he need to rest. However, he still has to show mercy and cherish the beauty.

Hearing the young cultivator's words, the middle-aged cultivator helplessly sighed and turned to look at his other two junior brothers, "Junior Brother Yu, Junior Brother Xiao, what do you think of the two of you?"

Under the gaze of the middle-aged man, the two cultivators called Junior Brother Yu and Junior Brother Xiao seemed to be a little lethargic. After a long while, they finally spoke in a low voice, "It is up to Senior Brother Zhong and Junior Brother Tai to decide."

Senior Martial Brother Zhong seemed to have already expected these two to say something like this. He helplessly turned around and shook his head. The young cultivator's face revealed a proud smile. Looking at Senior Martial Brother Zhong's back, a flash of light shone, and he turned his head to the female cultivator surnamed Ding and revealed a relaxed smile.

The female named Ding's eyes flashed. She leaned toward the young cultivator and said, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, Junior Martial Brother Tai, look at the tall tree up ahead. Why don't we go there and rest?"

With that, the female named Ding turned and flew towards the large tree Fang Yunlong was on. The young cultivator hurriedly followed behind the female named Ding and said: "Senior Sister Ding, be careful …"

Seeing the young cultivator closely follow the female named Ding into the big tree, the middle-aged cultivator's eyes flashed with anger. This young cultivator had an extraordinary background. He was the descendant of one of the elders in the sect and was also the key to completing the mission this time.

Originally, it was normal for youngsters to have some dissatisfaction with him. However, it was impossible for an arrogant disciple from a noble family to completely listen to him, a grassroots disciple.

Before entering the Proving Ground, the elders had already repeatedly warned the young cultivators to listen to their own arrangements, while he himself tried his best to ensure his safety and complete the mission.

Unexpectedly, in the outer sect's trial, a cultivator that was originally in the group of five with the middle-aged cultivator unfortunately died. The middle-aged cultivator originally wanted to find the strongest disciple to replace him, but unexpectedly, the young cultivator insisted on having the female with surname Ding join.

He didn't expect that the middle-aged cultivator's temporary accommodation would cause such a disaster.

The female cultivator surnamed Ding intentionally or unintentionally seduced the young cultivator, causing the young cultivator to listen to her orders and come up with unnecessary suggestions.

It was just that this mission could not be completed by only five people, and young cultivators were the key to completing it. They were also important targets for protection, and could not be harmed.

The middle-aged cultivator gave a bitter smile as he glanced at the two cultivators behind him. Then, he quickly followed the female cultivator Ding and the young cultivator to the big tree.

Fang Yunlong had already activated his Heaven Shrouding Mask, and instantly faced the five cultivators. Even though Fang Yunlong was confident that he was not weaker than the five of them, he did not dare to act presumptuously in this place, and only hid his body properly. However, Fang Yunlong was very interested in the mission they were talking about.

What kind of mission could make the five people from Fire Cloud Sect give up on their Spiritual Herb s and directly come to this dangerous mountainside?

By the time the middle-aged cultivator and the other two cultivators arrived beside the tree, the young cultivator and the female cultivator surnamed Ding were already sitting side by side on a branch of the tree.

Seeing that the middle-aged cultivator had come to the side of the tree and was meditating, the female cultivator surnamed Ding giggled, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, look at the beautiful environment and the abundant spiritual energy. This is a good place to rest."

The middle-aged cultivator said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Ding, Junior Brother Tai, it would be best for you to make the best use of your time to rest. Once the rest is over, there will be a fierce battle waiting for us."

The young cultivator sneered, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, take Senior Martial Sister Ding and let me guard you so that you can safely meditate and rest. Senior Martial Brother Zhong, you're not only not grateful, but you're also speaking in a weird voice.

Furthermore, even if the Demonic Beast at the back were powerful, with the magical equipment bestowed to them by the Ancestor, would they still be unable to complete the mission? "
