Zhuge Yun walked towards the four of them with a smile on his face. When his eyes fell on Xu Chunniang, his smile deepened.
"Hunting the element-devouring beast, right? I am the leader of your entrustment this time, senior brother."
"It's actually Senior Brother Zhuge. Senior Brother Zhuge is ranked 183 on the Qingyun Ranking. He once defeated his opponents in the later stage of Foundation Establishment with his cultivation in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."
"Senior Brother Zhuge is from Xuanjianfeng. With this strength, he will definitely be able to lead us to kill the Yuan-devouring beast smoothly."
Huo Chunyan said nothing, but looked at Xu Chunniang worriedly.
Not long ago, Senior Brother Zhuge caused trouble for Xu Chunniang because she surpassed Senior Sister Shangguan in the Qingyun Ranking.
Senior Brother Zhuge is leading the team on this trip, and I don’t know if he will attack.
Feeling Huo Chunyan's gaze, Xu Chunniang nodded towards her, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Although Zhuge Yun was dissatisfied with her, it was related to the sect's commission, so I guess he was not that kind of brainless person.
Besides...if he really wanted to use some means, she would do it.
The interaction between the two naturally fell into Zhuge Yun's eyes, and an inexplicable smile appeared in his eyes, "What do the two junior sisters have to say about me?"
Huo Chunyan quickly came to her senses and gave him a friendly smile, "Of course not, it's just that I've been admiring the name of my senior brother for a long time, so I was surprised for a moment."
"I hope so. The Yuan Devouring Beast appears in the area of Hunyuan City. Let's go to Hunyuan City first."
Zhuge Yun withdrew his gaze and walked outside. The others looked at each other and quickly followed.
Hunyuan City is located between Xiaoyao Sect and Wanjian Sect. It is a city of casual cultivators. The forces in it are mixed and not under the control of any sect.
Thinking of the records about Hunyuan City, Huo Chunyan's eyes flashed with solemnity, and she spoke to Xu Chunniang helplessly.
"I thought the Yuan Devouring Beast was easy to kill, but I forgot that it only appears in the Hunyuan City area. That is a place that welcomes all monks. If I had known this, I would rather confront the evil cultivator."
Xu Chunniang thought about it for a moment, and comforted her through a message, "Although Hunyuan City is both good and evil, everyone who enters must abide by the rules. As the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the city, the Lord of Hunyuan City must have certain binding powers."
Huo Chunyan understood what she meant and took a deep breath to calm down.
Although Hunyuan City has a good reputation, a lot of trouble can be avoided as long as you abide by the rules of the city, keep a low profile, and don't actively provoke other people.
After driving for more than a month, a huge black city finally appeared in front of everyone.
Huo Chunyan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been traveling almost without sleep for a month, and she was already very tired.
Even though the red wine given by Chun Niang restored his spiritual energy, the fatigue in his soul was real.
But the leader, Senior Brother Zhuge, never slowed down, and no one else raised any objections. She could only tighten her mind to keep up.
"Flying is prohibited near Hunyuan City. Let's get down first."
Zhuge Yun sensed the status of the people behind him, pretended he didn't know, bent his sword, jumped off the flying sword, and walked towards the giant black city ahead.
As the saying goes, it is like running to death in Wangshan, and this is the current situation.
The towering city seemed very close, but in fact it was still far away.
Xu Chunniang has been training her body since she was a child. In addition, her soul is much stronger than other people's. She also drinks spiritual wine from time to time to replenish her spiritual energy. She has been able to fly with her sword for a month and still has some strength left.
However, the other three people's faces were pale, their heads were sweating, and they looked like they could no longer hold on.
Finally, a disciple named Zhang Yu couldn't help but speak.
"Senior Brother Zhuge, we have been driving day and night for a month, covered in frost and dew. Seeing that Hunyuan City is right in front of us, we are not in a hurry for this moment, are we?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Yun paused, looked back at him, and after pondering for a moment, he actually agreed.
"Junior Brother Zhang Yu, right? Since Junior Brother Zhang is tired, he will rest on the spot for two hours. However, as the team leader on this trip, all your actions will be recorded truthfully by me. Don't blame Senior Brother for not reminding you."
Zhang Yu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard these words, his heart lifted again.
During the guidance and delegation, the team leader will truthfully record the performance of the disciples and evaluate the completion of the task based on the performance.
The original plan was to rush to Hunyuan City within one month, but now it is already too late. If I waste more time because of him, I'm afraid it will affect the task score.
After thinking about this, Zhang Yu suddenly felt annoyed.
Huo Chunyan and Zhao Xingsan were obviously very tired. As long as he persisted for a while, they would not be able to help but ask for a rest, but he spoke first...
That’s all, let’s recuperate first.
Zhuge Yun looked conscientious. After explaining to Zhang Yu, he threw out a formation disk and set up a concealment formation.
When Huo Chunyan and Zhao Xingsan saw this, they secretly felt happy and found a place each to prepare to meditate and recover.
"The spiritual energy in this area of Hunyuan City is violent. I advise you not to absorb it."
Zhuge Yun's voice suddenly sounded, and the faces of those who succeeded changed slightly. They gave up their plan to directly absorb the spiritual energy, and took out the elixir that could restore the spiritual energy and drank it.
Xu Chunniang seemed to be meditating, but in fact she closed her eyes to rest.
In the past few years, she has never stopped making wine. In addition to Pearl Drunk and Nectar Fragrance, which are used to earn spiritual stones, she has also created many varieties.
Among them, what satisfied her the most was the spiritual wine brewed from red pearl rice.
The red pearl rice is combined with the red wine brewed from the upgraded version of Lingquan. Just drinking one pound can restore nearly three levels of spiritual power.
Although it is not as effective as the Life Pill, it does not have any erysipelas and can be consumed in large quantities.
Moreover, this red wine has been improved by her many times, and its taste is extremely light. Even if you drink more than ten kilograms, you will not get drunk.
While traveling this month, she would take out a wine gourd and take a few sips from time to time, so her spiritual energy was not lost much.
Two hours later, Zhuge Yun stood up, glanced at a few people, and put away the formation.
"Just keep walking."
As they got closer to Hunyuan City, they met more monks on the road.
"Evil cultivator!"
Zhang Yu exclaimed, staring at a monk not far away with faint blood on his body, with angry eyes.
The monk in front seemed to feel something. He turned back to stare at Zhang Yu and smiled strangely.
"Where did the little baby come from? He dares to come to Soul Yuan City on the second floor of the foundation building, and he is not afraid to hand over his soul here."
Facing the monk's scarlet gaze, Zhang Yu felt a pain in his head and his face turned pale.
Zhuge Yun looked slightly cold, took a step forward to the right, stood in front of Zhang Yu, and looked coldly at the monk opposite.
Xie Xiu stared at Zhuge Yun for a few times, but didn't say anything. He laughed a few times and then headed towards the city gate.
It wasn't until the figure of the evil cultivator crossed the city gate and disappeared that Zhuge Yun turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu with a more serious expression.
"Junior Brother Zhao, please be careful what you say. Hunyuan City is no better than Xiaoyao Sect, and it is not a place where we can act recklessly."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt guilty for a moment, but then he gritted his teeth and spoke out what was in his heart.
"Everyone who practices evil will be punished. Am I wrong?"
