Due to the urgency of the situation, Mu Chen and Luo Li didn't dare to delay after receiving their orders. After bidding farewell to everyone, the two of them flew towards the direction of the Punishment Hall.
Streaking across the sky of Hokuang Reiwon, Mu Chen and Luo Li saw the panic-stricken expressions of quite a few students. The scarlet-red pillar of light in the distance was too scarlet-red, causing unease to radiate from people's hearts.
The Northern Heavens Continent was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It was an extremely dangerous place. Even someone as strong as Hokuang Reiwon wouldn't dare to proclaim that he possessed the strength to rule over the continent. Naturally, Hokuang Reiwon didn't want to be like that.
However, even if he didn't want to be like that, with such strength, Hokuang Reiwon would naturally be feared and guarded by some of the peak forces in the continent. Perhaps, those forces wouldn't dare to do anything to Hokuang Reiwon. However, if there was an opportunity, there would definitely be people who would throw stones at him when he was down.
Therefore, in the Northern Heavens Continent, Hokuang Reiwon wasn't as invincible as one would imagine.
After all, the Great Thousand World was too vast and boundless. Even the Five Great Academies were just a drop in the ocean.
If this matter wasn't resolved well, it would probably be a huge blow to Hokuang Reiwon.
Mu Chen's expression was grave. Hokuang Reiwon was the place where he had started. He had obtained his growth here, and naturally felt some gratitude towards this place. Therefore, he wasn't willing to see Hokuang Reiwon suffer any blows.
Seeing the grave expression on Mu Chen's face, Luo Li extended her ice-cold jade-like hand and held onto the latter's. With a faint smile, she said in a soft voice, "Relax, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong aren't ordinary people. It won't be easy to deal with them."
Mu Chen held onto Luo Li's hand and said, "I'm afraid that this matter might be a little dangerous."
Last time, he had only followed Su Xuan and the others to complete a spirit treasure mission, and he had almost lost his life.
The level of danger was clearly far greater than the last time. Compared to Mo Longzi, someone like Bai Xuan was nothing.
Therefore, the mission this time would probably be even more dangerous.
"It's precisely because it's dangerous that I want to follow you. Otherwise, what if you mess around again?
If you're afraid of something happening to me, then protect me well. "Luo Li chuckled.
"Don't worry, as long as I am by your side.
No matter what danger we encounter, even if we fall, I will be by your side. "Mu Chen held Luo Li's small hand tightly. Although his voice was low, it contained an unshakable determination.
Luo Li stared at the youth with her beautiful eyes.
She smiled faintly. The rippling moisture in her clear eyes was a little bewitching. Unfortunately, outsiders would never be able to see this most beautiful scene in the world.
When Mu Chen and Luo Li arrived in front of the Punishment Hall, they discovered that there were already quite a few members of the Punishment Hall at the very front.
They were Lin Zheng, Zhou Qingshan and Gu Tianyan.
At this moment, the three of them had grave expressions on their faces.
Obviously, they had also received the news.
"Senior Lin Zheng."
Mu Chen and Luo Li landed, cupped their fists and said, "Hallmaster Mo You has asked us to participate in this mission."
Lin Zheng nodded his head and said with a smile, "With junior Mu Chen's help, we'll be a little more relaxed."
Beside him, Zhou Qingshan and Gu Tianyan also cast friendly gazes at Mu Chen.
The surrounding Punishment Hall members also looked at Mu Chen curiously. They didn't look down on the latter just because he was at the Heavenly Transformation Stage late stage.
That's because they already knew that the new student in front of them was able to fight evenly with Gu Tianyan when he was at the Heavenly Transformation Stage early stage. Now that his strength had increased by so much, his combat prowess would definitely be much stronger.
Not long after Mu Chen and Luo Li arrived, whooshing sounds rang out from the horizon. Three glowing figures shot over, before finally landing on the plaza. As their figures appeared, they were He Yao, Su Xuan and Xu Huang.
Obviously, the three of them should have also received the mission this time around.
When Su Xuan and the other two saw Mu Chen and Luo Li, they didn't feel surprised. After all, within the current Hokuang Reiwon, excluding the absent Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, the young couple in front of them was probably the strongest.
Seeing that Su Xuan and the other two had also arrived, Lin Zheng nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the mission this time around is extremely dangerous. In the process of pursuing Mo Longzi, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were secretly summoned by Mo Longzi, all the ruthless people ranked second to tenth on the bounty list. The two of them were outnumbered, and fell into an encirclement. In the end, they escaped with heavy injuries, and are currently in a critical situation."
"Bounty list from second to tenth!"
Upon hearing those words, even Mu Chen couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Every single one of the top ten on the bounty list were ferocious characters. Normally, just one of them was already extremely difficult to deal with. He never imagined that nine of them would actually be dispatched this time around.
This lineup was far too extravagant. No wonder even Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were defeated, and had even fallen into a crisis.
The expressions of Su Xuan and the other two had grave expressions on their faces. In fact, this lineup could already be considered to be very strong, and was even sufficient to wipe out a first-rate power.
"For this mission, I'll be the leader, with Zhou Qingshan and Gu Tianyan assisting me. The five of you will follow along. In addition, there are two Heavenly Completion stage initial stage and three half-step into Heavenly Completion stage Punishment Hall members. Time is of the essence, and this is the strength that the Punishment Hall can immediately dispatch. The rest are either in seclusion, or have other missions. Therefore, we'll need your help this time," said Lin Zheng in a deep voice.
Mu Chen faintly nodded his head. From the looks of it, Hokuang Reiwon viewed this matter with great importance. This lineup was also considerably powerful. After all, the opponents were all super ruthless people ranked in the top ten on the bounty list. Without sufficient strength, they would only be a burden. Therefore, the ones dispatched were basically at the Heavenly Completion stage.
Even Su Xuan and Xu Huang, after experiencing the Spiritual Light Empowerment, had their strength greatly improved, reaching the half-step into Heavenly Completion stage. As for He Yao, he was already at the genuine Heavenly Completion stage initial stage.
Therefore, within the group, only he, with his strength at the Heavenly Transformation Stage late stage, appeared to be the weakest.
"There's some information about Mo Longzi and the others here. Take a look. Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you'll be able to reduce some danger." With a flick of Lin Zheng's finger, several streaks of light shot towards Mu Chen and the others.
Mu Chen grabbed them, and the streaks of light transformed into a scroll. He tore the scroll open, and detailed information about Mo Longzi and the others appeared on it.
Mo Longzi, rank 2 on the bounty list. Hailing from the Demonic Dragon Palace, he is vicious and merciless, and possesses exceptional talent. According to investigations, his strength is at the Heavenly Completion stage middle stage, and is even nearing the Heavenly Completion stage late stage, and is extremely dangerous.
Mu Gu, rank 3 on the bounty list. Hailing from the Bone Shrine, Heavenly Completion stage middle stage.
Gui Xiong, rank 4 on the bounty list. Belonging to no faction, having obtained the inheritance of an ancient sect. Possessing a vicious character, Heavenly Completion stage middle stage.
Wu Jia, rank 5 on the bounty list. Heavenly Transformation stage late stage, and is also a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master.
Rumble …
After reading through the information, the expressions of Mu Chen and the others grew increasingly solemn. Such a lineup was truly tyrannical. Even if Mo Longzi was only at the Heavenly Completion stage middle stage, there were three Heavenly Completion stage middle stage experts, five Heavenly Completion stage initial stage experts, and a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master!
That's why people as strong as Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were forced into such a miserable state. The lineup of their opponents was too tyrannical.
"Leave Mo Longzi, Mu Gu and Gui Xiong to the three of us. As for the rest, we'll leave them to you guys. As long as we rescue Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, it shouldn't be difficult for us to get rid of them," said Lin Zheng in a deep voice.
Mu Chen shot a look at Lin Zheng and the other two, and discovered that the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from their bodies seemed to have become much stronger than before. Clearly, during this period of time, their strength had also improved. Clearly, they had all reached the level of Heavenly Completion stage middle stage. That's why they dared to say that they could obstruct the three strongest opponents.
"Yes."
Mu Chen and the others nodded their heads.
"Since there's no problem, let's move out immediately. We're pressed for time, and have to head over to provide assistance as soon as possible."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Zheng took the lead and shot out without saying anything else. Zhou Qingshan and Gu Tianyan immediately followed after him, while the other Punishment Hall members also shot out.
"Let's go."
Nodding his head towards Su Xuan and the others, Mu Chen shot out at the same time, closely following after them.
The group of people rapidly shot out from the inner region of Hokuang Reiwon, before noticing countless students standing in the air outside, their gazes locked onto them.
Within this short period of time, the matter of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong's life and death request for assistance had basically spread throughout Hokuang Reiwon. Therefore, upon seeing Lin Zheng and Mu Chen's group, they immediately knew what their so-called mission was.
Upon seeing such a lineup, Mu Chen and the rest slightly slowed down their speed.
"Senior Lin Zheng, junior Mu Chen, slaughter that Mo Longzi, and rescue senior Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong!" A student loudly shouted out.
After all, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were the current first and second on the Heavenly Rankings. To many students, they were a type of goal to strive for. If the two of them were to die at Mo Longzi's hands, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the morale of these students.
Mu Chen and the rest looked towards the anticipating gazes of the students, before exchanging glances with each other. Their expressions were somewhat grave. They knew that if they failed this mission, the entire Hokuang Reiwon would descend into darkness when they returned. No one knew how long it would take for it to regain its previous liveliness.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Zheng did not reply. Instead, he slowly cupped his hands towards the countless students, while Mu Chen, Zhou Qingshan, Gu Tianyan and the rest silently cupped their hands.
"Let's go!"
Lin Zheng said in a low voice. With a wave of his hand, his figure explosively shot out. A group of people transformed into a dozen streaks of light, rushing out of Hokuang Reiwon.
Dean Tai Cang and the various elders stood in front of the great hall on the mountain peak. As they gazed at the figures of Lin Zheng, Mu Chen and the rest, chilling intent flashed within their eyes.
"Keep an eye on the Demonic Dragon Palace. Once an elder level figure takes action."
Dean Tai Cang's deep eyes turned abnormally cold at this moment. His voice faintly paused, as his hand slowly clenched.
"Kill without mercy!"
(Third chapter!
Still missing one chapter!
Today, I'll continue with the third chapter!
