Chapter 1411: Chapter 758: Trap or Opportunity?
Dark Sky, A3 Virtual Realm Fortress.
In less than a day, Zhao Sheng made a round trip from the Alien Demon Occupied Zone.
He hurriedly returned to the A3 Fortress, immediately using the Transmission Array within the fortress to directly transport himself to Qiming City, with not a moment’s delay.
After that, Zhao Sheng quickly entered the city’s tall tower, successfully ascending to the top floor, where he met with Master Bi Fang stationed there.
“The junior has completed the mission, and now may report back to Master.” After paying his respects, he immediately took out the Sumeru Ring and tossed it to Master Bi Fang.
Master Bi Fang caught the Sumeru Ring, and saw the surface of the ring suddenly light up with brilliant radiance, countless complex runes flashing in the glow.
With a flash of clear light, a pile of scattered items fell from mid-air, including Jade Scrolls, Crystal Stones, and several pieces of Dark Gold Token, among others.
Master Bi Fang’s eyes lit up as he grabbed a scroll of Silk Books and began to read it on the spot.
In the span of one breath, his expression became both surprised and delighted, as if he discovered something wonderful.
Master Bi Fang’s face turned serious, and he immediately swept his sleeve, collecting everything into his sleeve, then solemnly instructed, “You did an excellent job on this matter. But the rewards will be postponed for now. Stay in the city for a few days, I will summon you again then. Additionally, today’s events must remain absolutely confidential. If any information leaks out, I will hold you accountable!”
Zhao Sheng immediately said, “The junior understands the severity, and will not tell a second person about this matter.”
“Very well, you… may leave!” Master Bi Fang’s expression eased slightly as he said this with a keen gaze.
“The junior takes his leave!” Zhao Sheng bowed once again, then turned and left.
Not long after, he found a temporary cave mansion and settled in Qiming City.
Although Zhao Sheng didn’t know why Master Bi Fang kept him around specifically, he knew it must be related to the contents of the Sumeru Ring.
Perhaps… he was already involved in some “big issue,” and wouldn’t be free for a while.
Zhao Sheng didn’t have to wait long, only three days later, he received a summons, immediately heading to the tall tower in the city.
Upon entering the top floor of the tower, Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered, feeling quite shocked.
Besides Master Bi Fang, there were actually three other people present.
What shocked him the most was an elderly Human Clan man in a plain white Daoist robe; he stood straight like a sword, with a gaunt face, white hair and beard, exuding unfathomable energy, giving the impression of an unparalleled divine sword sheathed.
Behind the elder stood a man and a woman, both exceptionally attractive, with vast auras, clearly with cultivation above Returning to Void.
The woman wore a green Crimson Robe, graceful and poised, with a compassionate and serene demeanor, exuding a gentle medicinal fragrance.
Most strikingly, a peculiar, large “Mushroom” perched on her shoulder, brightly colored, unexpectedly sprouting limbs and facial features, with eyes, nose, and mouth on its round cap, looking adorably innocent.
At that moment, this “Mushroom” baby lay asleep on its master’s shoulder, like a drowsy child.
Beside the woman, the man appeared at first glance like a handsome playboy, wearing a nonchalant smile, but his eyes were dispassionately examining Zhao Sheng as he walked in.
Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze, striding forward with meteoric steps, and bowed to Master Bi Fang, “Junior Zhao Xi, greetings to Master!”
Master Bi Fang’s complexion stiffened at the words, quickly reprimanding, “Do not be rude! This is Yangjian Venerable. Hurry and pay respects to the Great Venerable!”
Zhao Sheng was startled, immediately bowing deeply to the gaunt elder, respectfully saying, “Small cultivator Zhao Xi, honors the Great Venerable! I was just lacking in manners, please forgive this small cultivator for the offense!”
“Ignorance is not a crime!” Yangjian Venerable laughed unconcerned, “Speaking of which, this is not the first time we’ve met. In the past, you surprisingly managed to survive in Luo Ye’s hands, truly shocking this Venerable!”
Zhao Sheng’s mind raced upon hearing this, immediately gaining insight, and deeply bowed, with deep gratitude, “So it was the Great Venerable who saved me back then! It is entirely thanks to the Great Venerable that I am alive! I have no way to repay the Great Venerable’s life-saving grace, please accept my three bows!”
With that, he was about to kneel to the ground, but before his knees could touch, a powerful force surged from nowhere, uprighting his body.
“No need for kneeling! This Venerable dislikes people kneeling and bowing. If you’re bound by worldly formalities, your Daoist path may end here.” Yangjian Venerable sternly said.
Zhao Sheng smiled casually, “Such golden advice from the Great Venerable, the junior feels enlightened after hearing it, thank you for guiding me through the confusion!”
“Enough, in this Venerable’s presence, there’s no need for flattery.” Yangjian Venerable said, “You’ve been summoned today for a secret task we need you to complete.”
At this point, Master Bi Fang continued, “Actually, you weren’t the first choice for this task, but you were in the right place at the right time, and with the Great Venerable’s strong recommendation, you were included. However, for this mission, you must follow the orders from Senior Sister Xue. Finally, if things become untenable, you must ensure Senior Sister Xue’s safety, understood?”
Zhao Sheng looked up at the woman, who nodded to him.
He then composed himself, resolutely stating, “The junior will follow Senior Xue’s instructions.”
But as he made his declaration, countless thoughts crossed Zhao Sheng’s mind, he suddenly realized that his secret of “Space-Time Teleportation” might have been exposed.
And the one who knows this secret, without surprise, is Yangjian Venerable!
