Great Swordsman
Ch.79 - War!
Xu Feng's eyes flashed in a moment, with the existence of this mission, the Shadow House could at least buy time for them to prepare for war. The higher-ups of Fallen Leaf Town seemed to have started using his wits, Xu Feng silently nodded in agreement.
As Xu Feng was busy in his mind, several mysterious figures wearing veils appeared one by one. Their bodies exuded a cold aura, a viscous killing intent faintly emanated from them.
They came in silence, not making the slightest sound. Xu Feng marked them one by one and his eyes instantly narrowed, these people were at the Sixth Stage! The few low-level members who happened to be in the room instantly turned pale and trembled just because of their presence.
“Is everything here?” The receptionist glanced at those people calmly, she did not seem to be affected by their aura.
“Iya.” One of them spoke emotionlessly, his voice so cold.
Hearing that, the receptionist nodded softly before escorting the men towards the second floor. But before going any further, the receptionist suddenly turned her body and spoke, “We need two additional people on this mission, anyone who is willing please follow me. No strength prerequisites.”
The silence..
No one dared to raise their hand. Most of these people were low-level members and they were not naive people. A mission involving a group of Sixth Stage cultivators, even fools knew what kind of risk was behind it. They all glanced at each other's eyes and realized that others had the same thoughts as him.
But behind a group of people, there will always be individuals who are slightly off the mark than usual. Before the receptionist sighed, two men raised their hands. One was a man with a stocky body like a bear, and the other was of course Xu Feng. Of course, both of them were wearing masks so that no one could see the faces of the two.
“Good, follow me!” The receptionist looked at the two and narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized the burly man, his reputation at least somewhat famous in the Shadow House. But Xu Feng, he did not remember too much.
“New members?” The receptionist silently thought and shook his head, this is none of his business.
After Xu Feng and the burly man entered the ranks, they then walked to the second floor, leaving the low-level members instantly noisy due to their departure.
“Tadi.. Isn't he the Bears Raging?” one of them pointed at the stairs with a strange face.
“True, I remember him recently killing two Fourth Stage cultivators in one fight.”
“Tsk, a person of that caliber, is he confident or.. rash?”
They whispered to each other with faces that did not understand. But behind all that, they secretly question the identity behind the figure that went along with the Raging Bear. Unfortunately, they were destined not to know.
Xu Feng, under the pseudonym Ghost, suddenly became a mysterious figure to them.
On the other hand, when Xu Feng ascended to the second floor, the atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying. There was only one passageway and the walls were pitch-black. Some torches as lighting displayed on both sides of the wall are not able to illuminate the entire hallway. As a result, the dimly-lit yellowish light further darkened the place.
“I feel the fierce air from there.” Raging Bear frowned and whispered softly, he felt as if there were some dangerous ancient beasts at the end of the passageway. The mysterious figures of the Sixth Stage also displayed serious postures, they seemed to be affected as well.
Xu Feng was otherwise unmoved, he already knew the cause. It was the deliberate pressure of a Seventh Stage cultivator!
“Come!” The receptionist whispered softly and led them through the hallway until they reached a single door.
“Chairman, I've gathered all the members!” The receptionist knocked on the door and spoke in a soft tone.
Light breeze…
No answer for a few seconds before an old de*ahan sounded from inside the door, “Sign in!”
Along with that voice, the door slowly creaked and opened.
Inside the room, there were three black-robed figures and a middle-aged man with a plain white mask who sat in a circle at the round table. The atmosphere they exuded was heavy and serious.
The man with the white mask, the chairman, sighed a umpteenth time before speaking in a low voice, “Since everyone is already here, there is no need to waste any more time.”
He took out a map and placed it on the table, pointed at the region on the map that had been underlined x and spoke, speaking, “One of our members who is on a mission in the Black Stone City region accidentally managed to access important information, he said,
“He heard the news that two days later, enemy reinforcements would arrive in Black Stone City. To be precise, they will pass through the Savage.” mountain pass
After saying that, the posture of the chairman slowly became serious, “But this is not the most important information. After further investigation, it is known that these reinforcements are actually from the neighboring kingdom.”
The explosion!
The information was like a tsunami wave hitting everyone's head, no one was so stupid as to not realize the meaning behind it all. Everyone inhaled a cold breath and gasped for breath, even Seventh Stage experts reacted the same.
The war!
Xu Feng frowned, he did not expect his conjecture to truly come true. Even if Xu Feng had a panel, he still could not help the uneasy feeling in his heart. The horrors of war between kingdoms were far beyond one's imagination.
But there was one thing that confused him. The identity of Elder Feng Yang was an Evil Cultivator, does that mean the neighboring kingdom that sent out troops was an Evil Cultivator as well? Or, did they also not know the true identity of Elder Feng Yang?
Xu Feng increasingly felt things were becoming complicated. If that was the first case, then this would be an endless crusade. After all the Cultivator faction and the Evil Cultivator faction were sworn enemies, things would only end if one of the two were defeated.
“Let's face one by one.” Xu Feng shook his head and muttered inwardly, he must not let his thoughts drift too far. Just face what is currently!
On the other hand, the chairman did not care about everyone's thoughts and continued, “Information has already arrived at the capital and the king is preparing an army. And our task is to disrupt enemy reinforcements until the troops from the capital arrive.”
The chairman swept everyone in the room one by one and spoke in a dignified voice, “This task is dangerous and will definitely take a toll, if anyone changes their mind and wants to get out, he said, now is the time.”
