Chapter 168 Return
The Helan family's status in the Cangxuan Continent is transcendent.
The four top sects in Cang Xuan Continent are Tianjian Sect, Luoyang Sect, Zixiao Sect, and Tianyin Sect.
Families like the Shen family and the Cheng family can only be considered second-rate forces.
However, the strength of the Helan family is comparable to that of these four major sects.
Such a behemoth has even set foot in the Demon Realm and has become the lord of a city.
Moreover, this city is the second largest city in the Demon Realm, and its power cannot be underestimated!
Cheng Shuyan could never have imagined that the secret of the Helan family was like this!
No wonder Helan Ci asked her to swear not to disclose it. For such a top-secret matter, one must be extremely cautious.
"So, is there a teleportation array in Xilan City leading to Cangxuan Continent?" Cheng Shuyan asked expectantly.
"No." Helan Ci shook his head: "In order to avoid being discovered by those in the Demon Realm, Xilan City has no dealings with the Helan family."
"Then how do we leave?"
"The City Lord's Mansion of Xilan City is about to issue a secret mission, requiring a group of people to go to Cangxuan Continent to search for a mysterious spiritual treasure.
We are the participants of this mission, and we will follow the mission team on the flying boat to Cangxuan Continent."
"Is it that simple?" Cheng Shuyan was a little bit unbelievable. Could they escape so easily?
"Yes, it's that simple." Helan Ci affirmed.
If what Helan Ci said is true, as long as they successfully board the flying boat, they will be able to return safely to Cangxuan Continent.
After all, the task force is guaranteed by Xilan City, and no one will doubt the identity of anyone in the team.
"Then when will we set off?" Cheng Shuyan asked.
She had already obtained the Cold Flame Soul-Melting Flower and found Cheng Shuang. She had accomplished all her missions on this trip.
Now Cheng Shuyan just wants to go back quickly, after all, Lin Yuan is still waiting for her Cold Flame Soul-Melting Flower to save his life.
"Half a month later, during this time we just need to wait for Yuebao Pavilion to send us the mission token."
She can wait for half a month.
He was about to leave the Demon Realm, and had nothing to do these days, so Cheng Shuyan started wandering around the city under the identity of Xie Wanwan.
There are also many unique spiritual herbs growing in the Demon Realm. She will collect some of them whenever she comes across them, regardless of their type.
Although the current environment in the Qi Tian Realm is not suitable for the growth of the Demon Realm spiritual herbs, if there is an opportunity in the future, perhaps we can find a chance to create a Demon Realm in the Qi Tian Realm?
The half-month period passed in a flash.
Helan Ci had already received the mission token sent by Yuebao Pavilion and was just waiting for the summons from the city.
On this day, the summons finally arrived.
Helan Ci dismissed the slaves and guards who came with them and asked them to go to Yuebao Pavilion to await orders. Then he went to the City Lord's Mansion with Cheng Shuyan.
They arrived quite early and had to wait for a while before all the people who were to take on the task showed up.
This team is not large, with a total of twenty-five people, ranging from mortals to those in the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition to Helan Ci and Cheng Shuyan, there are two other mortals. It is said that this mission requires them to lurk in the Cangxuan Continent for a long time, so being a mortal is actually safer.
The leader is a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is best at concealing his identity.
When most people had arrived, the leader stood in front and loudly mobilized everyone:
“I believe you all know that we are heading to Cangxuan Continent this time with the city lord’s expectations.
However, in order to prevent the mission from being leaked, I have never told you the details of the mission.
Even today, I still cannot tell you the mission.
But this does not mean that the city lord does not trust you. On the contrary, your ability to become a part of this mission represents the city lord's absolute trust in you!
When we arrive at Cangxuan Continent, you will all know your respective tasks.
If we can successfully complete this mission, when we return to Xilan City, it will be the day for you to rise to prominence!
This is all I have to say, let’s go!”
The two Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators were the first to board the flying boat, followed by the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage.
After everyone else had boarded the flying boat, the four of them were the last to go up.
All members of this mission team have practiced the art of stealth, and are indeed suitable for long-term concealment.
Their flying boat disguised itself as a caravan and first entered the gray area of Wu Yue City.
After resting for a few days in Wu Yue City, and waiting until everyone had changed their appearance, they set out again with new identities.
This time, they walked for two full months and finally arrived at a place Cheng Shuyan had never expected!
Yaoyue Mountains!
The location of the Hidden World Sect, and the starting point of Cheng Shuyan’s cultivation of immortality.
According to the team's original arrangement, Cheng Shuyan and Helan Ci were considered a couple by everyone, so they were assigned as refugees and lived in a mortal village.
Everyone said goodbye here. After the two left, everyone else also went to their respective places.
Those who received the mission all had relatives left in the Demon Realm, controlled by the City Lord's Mansion of Xilan City.
After each mission token recognizes its owner, it will also lock onto each other's aura, so the Lord of Xilan City is not worried that everyone will escape or betray.
However, Cheng Shuyan and Helan Ci entered through the back door, so naturally these two hidden dangers did not exist.
After living in the village for two months and confirming that everyone else had arrived at their respective locations, Cheng Shuyan said goodbye to Helan Ci and returned to the Hidden World Sect alone.
She was a little hesitant. This time she came back with the help of the Helan family's power. She also promised Helan Ci that she would never tell his family's secrets.
But according to her understanding of the Demon Realm's previous style of behavior in the world of immortal cultivation, this time Xilan City sent such a team to lurk near the Yaoyue Mountains for a long time.
She was worried about whether it would be detrimental to the sect and the entire Yaoyue Mountains.
But if I were to tell it to others, I would inevitably have to mention the Helan family.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to keep it secret for the time being, since she had the mission token in her hand.
If the purpose of this trip becomes apparent by then, she will know and decide how to respond then.
The Hidden World Sect has undergone tremendous changes today, and she almost didn't recognize it when she entered the sect.
The sect's territory has expanded a lot, and there are many more disciples active in the sect.
When Wuwei Zhenren was not around, Cheng Shuyan saw Lu Fuling and Qingzhi.
Lu Fuling has successfully established her foundation, and Qingzhi's cultivation has also reached the great perfection of Qi Refining. It will probably not take long for him to establish his foundation.
Li Zhixing is still in seclusion. His qualifications are worse than Lu Fuling and Qingzhi. These two people came later and surpassed him, so he is naturally anxious and spends all his time in seclusion to practice.
Qingzhi reported to her in detail the current situation of the Hidden World Sect.
The sect has already cultivated the Earth Fire Room, and also established the Alchemy Hall, Weapon Hall, Array Hall and other six arts of cultivating immortals.
Because of Cheng Shuyan's relationship, a teleportation array was also established with the market town under the jurisdiction of the Cheng family.
After staying in the Hidden World Sect for a few days, she went to the Cheng family through the teleportation array.
