After all, Xia Ji was the one who had made the presentation panel for himself. At this moment, his heart moved, and a row of flashing red words quickly appeared in his mind.

[Blacktide Mission 1: Investigate the abnormal events in the sect.]

[Difficulty: 2.5 stars]

[Description of the event: In the short three months after the destruction of the Pantheon Court, Ya Zi, and Qiong Qi, all the sects in Yanzhou started to break out in a large-scale chaos. It seemed to be a coincidence, but it was strange inside. It was suspected to be related to the Blacktide and Qiong Qi.] A thorough investigation within three years.

[Mission Reward: Take Miaomiao on a three-month vacation.]

[Mission Punishment: Obliteration]

Of course, this ‘obliteration’ was just for his own amusement.

However, he felt that three years was definitely enough. Not to mention investigating clearly, he was afraid that he could directly find the root of the problem and solve it.

As for the ” difficulty “, he had just made an estimate for himself. After all, it was only an ” in-depth investigation “. During this investigation, there was almost no situation where the enemy could destroy him and White Candle, but there were also unknown risks. If they encountered Qiong Qi or the Blacktide, there were also great risks. Therefore, he rated it as 2.5 stars.

He set a difficulty system for himself:

One star meant that it would not pose any danger to him.

Two-star meant possible danger.

Three-star was extremely dangerous. If one was not careful, they might be seriously injured.

A four-star might die.

Five stars are a sign of death.

” The difficulty of this mission lies in the information gathering and the fact that one’s identity cannot be revealed. That time, the Fallen Moon Sect might have sensed our malice, so they deliberately hid ssecrets.

Only when the other party completely relaxed his vigilance could he get to the bottom of it and see the most real side.

Since the Blacktide has undergone a great change, we must figure out their current arrangements. With the white candle, we can clearly compare the situation with the ancient times and know where the changes are.”

After Xia Ji analyzed the situation, he found Xiao Su and began to patch the holes in his identity.

After all, it was very difficult to investigate the identity of a mortal kingdom. However, it was not a very troublesthing for a sect to send disciples to another place to investigate.

After making proper arrangements,

Xia Ji and Bai Zhu set off.

The first step was…

The two of them pretended to be a pair of Taoist partners. First, they would appear in the western part of Yanzhou Province and visit the mountain gate. At the stime, they also spread their identities.

Not long after, ssects in the west knew that this couple was not weak. They were both at the peak of the 13th realm. They were only one step away from becoming the best in the 14th realm.

The reason why there was no information about these two people before was that they usually lived in seclusion in the north to cultivate. They were used to living in the wild, but because of sunforeseen circumstances, they had no choice but to go south.

It was precisely because of this change that the two of them had learned from their painful experience and given up on being carefree. Instead, they seemed to have begun to think about joining a sect.

After all, the world was changing and the world was in turmoil. Rogue cultivators did not feel safe outside. Only by joining a sect could they have more ability to protect themselves.

After ” appearing in this area “, their identities didn’t seem to be out of place.

Next was the second step.

During a battle between the Golden Lotus Sect and the Dragon Slaying Temple, this pair of Dao companions had ” unintentionally ” saved the Dragon Slaying Temple’s First Elder, Mu Sangzi. Then, they had vaguely suggested that they wanted to join the sect.

The Dragon Slaying Temple had always been a righteous sect. They were very strict in their recruitment, especially in their character.

However, when Mu Sangzi saw the two of them displaying pure white Karma, he did not hesitate much.

Generally speaking, those who had good deeds would not have bad characters.

In this chaotic world, itinerant cultivators naturally wanted to join a sect.

The sect also wanted to recruit powerful itinerant cultivators to increase the strength of the sect.

This was mutual.

Thus, Mu Sangzi brought Xia Ji and Bai Zhu back to the Dragon Slaying Temple and explained the situation to the Abbey Dean.

The Abbey Dean first tested his aptitude and strength.

If these two didn’t work, the Dragon Slaying Temple wouldn’t accept anyone.

After all, although the Dragon Slaying Temple was not the top sect in the Qi Kingdom, it was still one of the top ten sects. Although there were not tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in the sect, they were all elites who were very good at fighting.

The test results were clear.

Both of them were above average in terms of aptitude, and there was still sdistance between them and geniuses.

They were all the cream of the crop among the 13 states.

The Abbey Dean was very satisfied.

After that, the Abbey Dean asked about their origins.

The two of them were both sly foxes who lied without a draft, so they said a lot about it.

It was probably because the two of them usually cultivated in the Moon Tiger Peak of Mianzhu Mountain in the North. This time, something unexpected happened, so they went south and chere by chance. They usually visited the sect and heard that the Dragon Slaying Temple was a big sect in this area. They wanted to go there, but they had never found a way.

However, he did not expect that he would coincidentally save First Elder Mu Sangzi, which was why he chere.

The Abbey Dean arranged for Xia Ji and Bai Zhu to stay there. He asked people to check if the two were really Taoist partners while he sent people to Mianzhu Mountain in the north to investigate the situation.

However, Xia Ji had already made arrangements in the Northern Lands. The disciples of the Dragon Slaying Temple who went to the North to investigate would receive a message that said, ” There are sslight differences in their description, but everything is within the scope of reasonable caution for a pair of cultivators. ” After further investigation, the disciples of the Dragon Slaying Temple would find out that the two had offended a rather powerful sect in the Northern Lands called the Elusive Palace. That was why they were forced to leave their original secluded place and give up their carefree life.
