Chapter 32: Mission
Time flies, and three years have passed by in the blink of an eye. Everyone in the Yunmiao Immortal Palace is actively cultivating, working hard for the upcoming Immortal Palace Competition.
One day, the master of the palace summoned the elders from all walks of life to come to the main hall for a meeting.
In the palace, a palace master and two deputy palace masters sat high above, while a dozen elders sat at the bottom and listened carefully.
"Everyone is summoned today because of the evil disaster that happened to a life star in Yun Miao's jurisdiction." Yun Miao went to the immortal path.
"It's time to eliminate demons again. What's going on this time?" Elder Li Qionghua asked.
"According to the information disciples, there is a demon who has frozen the entire star, causing the life of the star to be completely devoid of life." Immortal Yun Miao sighed softly.
"This is really unreasonable. The evildoer is so rampant that he actually froze an entire star. This kind of crime deserves to be punished!" An elder immediately became furious.
"In order to eliminate the demon, this evildoer must be eliminated, otherwise it will really treat the Yunmiao Immortal Palace as if it is nothing!"
"All evil spirits and monsters must be killed as soon as possible, leaving no one behind."
…
The elders were all shouting about getting rid of the demons. Immortal Yun Miao raised his hands and everyone became quiet.
"But now we don't have a very clear understanding of the monster's strength, and we don't have a detailed understanding of the tragedy that happened there, so the top priority is to find out the whole story and then make plans." Immortal Yun Miao said.
"Being able to freeze a star, even if it is done with magic weapons or other formations, the monster's strength cannot be underestimated. Palace Master, what are you going to do?" At this time, Nangong Xun said.
"Something must have happened to cause such a tragic disaster as the Frozen Star to cause the monster to act like this. I want to send the elite disciples in the palace to investigate first. This way, I can get more information, and secondly, it can also train the disciples. You have the ability to adapt." Yun Miao went to the immortal path.
"Seeing that the Daxian Cave Palace has only been open for a few years, it would not be good if an accident happened to the elite disciples at this time." An elder shook his head.
"What's the matter? We can send a few less!" At this time, Cheng Bing suddenly spoke, and he seemed a little happy.
"Oh, how many of them should be sent? Then I would like to ask which ones should be sent?" Yun Fang looked at Cheng Bing who was sitting across from him and said.
"Does this need to be said? I think no matter who is sent, Elder Yunfang, your good disciple, must go. In the past few years, your disciple has been the most majestic, with superior strength and constant peach blossoms, such a talented person Wouldn't it be a pity if the disciple doesn't hold a sword to defend the way?" Cheng Bing said with some mockery.
"Haha, Elder Cheng Bing praises his disciple too much. But for such a glorious task of exterminating demons, I think your son has no chance to defend the law with a sword? As a father, you can't let your son be too free. You see, it was three years ago What a lesson!" Yun Fang said in reply.
"Yunfang...you!" Cheng Bing almost jumped up in anger.
Three years ago, Cheng Yan was defeated by Zhou Hao with one move. This was obvious to all the disciples. As Cheng Yan's father, Cheng Bing was naturally disgraced. Later, he used the excuse of being late to embarrass Zhou Hao, but was stopped by two female disciples, Yu Nan and Su Qing. Afterwards, the palace master severely criticized him and almost removed him from his position as elder. If it weren't for Nangong Xun, he might have It's impossible to still sit here.
"Okay, everyone, calm down. You don't need to say anything. I have already thought of a countermeasure. What Elder Cheng Bing said makes sense. Don't be afraid if there are fewer people. The most important thing is to be strong enough. I plan to send four disciples there. You What do you recommend?" Master Yunmiao looked at the elders and asked.
"This mission must be very dangerous. The disciples sent should be the four strongest in our palace." An elder reminded.
"In addition to the three heroes Yunmiao, Zhou Hao, who is currently in the limelight, is a good choice." Another elder said.
"Yes, very good, very good. I also think this is good. Do you all agree with Elder Defan's recommendation?" Yun Miao nodded while stroking his beard.
"Palace Master, I'm afraid Quanzi can't go on this mission!" At this time, Nangong Xun stood up and said with cupped hands.
"Elder Nangong, did something happen to your master Nangong Ying while he was practicing?" Master Yun Miao asked.
"To be honest, I have asked you for a thirty-year leave of absence on behalf of Quanzi. The purpose is to allow Quanzi to concentrate on practicing an immortal martial art to prepare for the Immortal Palace Competition seven years later. Now he is at his peak. At this critical moment, please ask the palace master to be accommodating!" Nangong Xun said with shame.
"Elder Nangong, please sit down. Since this is the case, there is nothing we can do. It seems that we should let Zhou Hao, Yu Nan, and Su Qing go!" Immortal Yun Miao thought for a while and said.
…
The next day, Zhou Hao flew to Yunmiao Fairy Mountain with his sword early in the morning, but today was not a sword practice. He had to go to the magnificent hall on the top of the mountain to accept a mission.
Arriving in front of the square, Zhou Hao sheathed his sword and strode towards Yunmiao Hall. He stepped into the hall and disappeared amidst everyone's doubtful or envious eyes.
In the immortal hall, there are three people sitting on top and three people standing below.
Immortal Yunmiao spoke first: "You are now recognized as the top elite disciples of Yunmiao Immortal Palace, so I came to you today to prove your strength once again."
Then the Immortal Yunmiao explained to the three of them the matter of the monsters being frozen in the stars, and then they were ready to let Zhou Hao and the others set off.
"Remember, your mission here is just to investigate the fact that the stars are frozen. Do not risk your own life in an attempt to eliminate the demon. Do you understand?" the palace master asked.
The three people below nodded in agreement, and finally left the hall without looking back.
With their swords in the sky, the three of them soon arrived at the gate guarded by the death guards. When they walked out of the gate, they really came out of Yunmiao.
"Token!" Two indifferent voices still sounded.
Wearing shining silver armor, even their faces were covered by cold masks. Two death guards crossed their halberds to block the path of the three of them.
"Here!" Zhou Hao and Su Qing Yunan both showed their tokens.
This token is a gift from the palace master and is used to enter and exit this door. Yunmiao Immortal Palace stipulates that every disciple, except the elders, must apply for a token from the palace master when they want to enter or exit this most critical door.
Moreover, the tokens in the hands of Zhou Hao and others are different from the ones Yun Fang had originally. Theirs is for disciples to travel.
"It's a real token, let me go!" The death guard separated his halberd and opened the door to make way for the three of them.
Stepping out of the door, the three people's eyes were extremely wide, because it was an endless space world, and the dark and cold space remained unchanged forever.
At this time, Su Qing threw an object from his hand, and suddenly the object turned into a black ship. The three of them got on the ship and sailed directly towards space.
"Wow, what a powerful fairy ship, it's so fast!" Zhou Hao was inexplicably excited as he looked at the stars flying and retreating around him.
"This is the treasure of the palace master. Only the Immortal can refine this immortal treasure ship that can cruise, locate and travel through space." Yu Nan was also very excited. This time she was completely treating it as a tourist.
"We're almost there. The frozen stars are not far from the Yunmiao Immortal Palace." Su Qing said softly.
"Hey, Su Qing, don't be so bad at the scenery, okay? You've just been out for a while, so you can't make the boat fly slower. Zhou Hao and I haven't had a good look at the scenery yet!" Yu Nan looked at Su Qing unhappily and said. .
This mission was originally a joy for Yu Nan. It was a rare opportunity to spend more time with the one she loved. It was completely a trip. However, Su Qing's joining seemed to her to be a spoiler.
"Scenery... Where is the scenery?" Zhou Hao looked at Yu Nan doubtfully.
"You... oh, I don't know what to say about you!" Yu Nan was "defeated" by Zhou Hao at that time.
"Look, it's that star, we're getting ready to land!" Su Qing looked towards the front of the fairy ship.
It was an elliptical planet that was completely covered in ice. Looking at it from a distance, one could feel the icy chill. It was impossible to see what the planet looked like.
The black fairy ship sailed into the atmosphere of the frozen stars. The three of them clearly felt a chill, but as immortals, this was nothing.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a huge beast roar came, the sound shook thousands of miles. The three of them were still ten thousand meters above the planet when they saw a white wolf with four huge wings pounce on the black hull where they were.
The white wolf was all white and strong, about the size of a house. Its wings looked like they were made of ice, shining with a cold sheen.
With a bang, the white wolf bit the black hull, and the entire fairy ship shook. Zhou Hao and others were forced to abandon the ship and escape.
The swords flew into the air, and the three of them faced the white wolf and all wanted to snatch the fairy ship back. However, the white wolf immediately flew away after grabbing the ship. The three of them shook their heads and did not continue to catch up.
When they landed on the ground, they were surrounded by a vast expanse of white. It was really frozen for thousands of miles, and snow was drifting for thousands of miles. The three young people standing on this land of ice looked extremely small.
"Damn it, I encountered a flying wolf demon that took away the fairy ship when I first arrived. It's really unlucky." Yu Nan stamped her foot angrily.
"There is nothing we can do about this. The most urgent task is to figure out why the stars are frozen." Zhou Hao said.
"Senior Sister Su, what do you think?" Zhou Hao saw Su Qing thoughtfully and asked quickly.
"The name of the flying wolf just now is the Snow Wolf Demon. It is said that wherever they go, there is snow in the sky and the frozen mountains and rivers. I wonder if the fact that the stars are frozen has something to do with the Snow Wolf Demon." Su Qing said.
"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, you should have chased him to the end! Why are you looking for the wolf demon now?" Yu Nan sneered.
"Since the wolf demon is haunting here, its lair will not be too far away. It won't take long for Yu Jian to find it, but there must be a lot of Chuixue wolf demons. If we go there rashly, the three of us will only die. Share." Zhou Hao said.
"What Junior Brother Zhou said coincides with mine!" Su Qing was dressed in plain clothes and came out of the dust in pure white, which was quite fitting for the occasion on this land of ice and snow.
On the other hand, Yu Nan is so beautiful in red, as if she is a rose taking root in the snow, so eye-catching. When she heard Su Qing say this, she immediately became unhappy and said, "It's really interesting. You just said it coincides with what others have said, and I also said that I meant what Zhou Hao said!"
"Yu Nan, we are on a mission now, please don't get your personal feelings involved." Su Qing's expression remained unchanged.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that I can't distinguish between personal feelings and tasks? It's funny, haven't I done tasks? I think it's because you always like to put on a cold and noble attitude that it affects doing tasks." Yu Nan was angry at that time.
"If you really know what teamwork is, you should think of a way instead of cynicizing me here." Su Qing didn't even look at Yu Nan.
...The two women started quarreling with each other.
As a middleman, Zhou Hao is simply crazy. In the past, he was the emperor of the world. Even if he had many concubines, he didn't have to accommodate this one or that one. But it's different now...
Caught between the two fairies of ice and fire, he had to persuade them when they were quarreling. If he said this or that, the other would definitely get angry and act alone at any moment, but if he didn't say it, his presence would be low.
Neither left nor right, Zhou Hao really wanted to buy a piece of tofu and kill him!
"My good senior sister, it's like this. I think it's getting late now. Let's find a place to rest first." Zhou Hao suddenly thought of a good way to divert his attention.
After that, Zhou Hao flew towards a snow mountain ahead without waiting for the two to agree. He saw a cave entrance there.
Under the white-capped mountain peaks, a large cave made the three of them very happy. Zhou Hao lit the candle. In an instant, everything in the cave was as bright as day. The cave was only two meters high and six meters deep, with some hay spread inside. It looked like it had been Someone lived there.
"Let's take a rest here tonight." Zhou Hao said, looking at the two women beside him.
Of course he was happy in his heart but acted very calm and composed, but Su Qing and Yu Nan were each upset.
Su Qing felt that since Zhou and Yu were Taoist couples, he was basically a lightbulb here.
Yu Nan felt that Su Qing was deliberately getting in the way, but if Su Qing suggested that it was okay to rest outside alone, it would make Yu Nan very uncomfortable. After all, they were all here for this mission.
"Zhou Hao Yunan, I can rest outside, you can also stay in the cave..." Su Qing said nothing as she raised her feet and was about to walk out of the cave.
"Senior Sister Su, what are you talking about? This place is extremely dangerous. We were attacked by a wolf demon just after we arrived. We don't know what else will happen tonight." Zhou Hao walked up to Su Qing and stopped her.
"So, you two will sleep here for a good night, and I will guard at the entrance of the cave, that's it!" Zhou Hao walked to the entrance of the cave with a slight smile.
Su Qing originally wanted to say something, but she hesitated and had to give up. At this time, she looked back at Yu Nan, who was already "asleep" lying on the hay.
"Well, Junior Brother Zhou, you should also pay attention to safety at the entrance of the cave!" Su Qing reminded Zhou Hao.
Then, she sat cross-legged on a piece of hay, closed her eyes and started practicing. For her, this was considered a state of rest.
