The difficulty of the mission wasn't too high. The last time, he had helped a city defend against a beast stampede. Not only that, he had even met a humanoid beast. That humanoid beast was pretty strong, but just as he was about to kill it, the humanoid beast decided to mutilate itself and run away.
To Lin Fan, this was one of his biggest regrets in life.
The conditions offered by this veiled woman before him were pretty decent as well. The title of a Duke. For vagrant martial artists, other than raising their strength, riches and honor were equally important.
But to Lin Fan's surprise, no one accepted the mission. This made Lin Fan even more bewildered.
To think that no one would accept such a simple mission. Were people all so greedy these days?
The veiled young lady looked down anxiously. However, when she saw that no one was accepting the mission, her snow-white face flushed red with anxiety.
"Princess Long Yuan, I think you'd better not give out this mission. The beast stampede of the Long Yuan dynasty this time around isn't going to be simple."
"That's right. Whoever accepts this mission will be out of luck."
"If I remember correctly, this is the sixth beast stampede of the Long Yuan dynasty, right?"
"The strongest of the beasts the previous time around were greater celestial lower level. Not many of those who accepted the mission survived. Even if they did, they were crippled."
...
Hearing the comments of the crowd, Princess Long Yuan did not know what to do. "Everyone, I implore everyone to help out with this beast stampede. The Long Yuan dynasty will definitely fulfill all of your requests."
"Princess Long Yuan, this old man has something to say. You can seek help from those sects once more." The old man who had been sitting motionlessly spoke up.
Princess Long Yuan's face was filled with disappointment, "We've already gone to the sects, but no one was willing to help out."
"Then this old man is powerless." The old man shook his head.
At this moment, some of the surrounding people began to chime in as well.
"Naturally, those sects won't help out."
"That's right. It was all thanks to those sects that we were able to defend against the beast stampede the previous time around. But those greater celestial lower level beasts caused those sects to lose quite a number of men. I'm sure they won't be willing to help out this time around."
"Each wave of the beast tide is fiercer than the previous one. This is a fact. Although there is a noble title, one must be alive to enjoy it."
"That's right. But if Princess Long Yuan were to join in, I'm sure there would be quite a number of people who would be willing."
"HAHA! That's right! Princess Long Yuan is the number one beauty in the world! If I were to be included, I'm sure a lot of people would agree to it!"
...
The guards behind Princess Long Yuan took a step forward and hollered, "Insolent …!"
"What, you want to fight …?" The moment the guards spoke, the wandering cultivators who were laughing stood up one by one and stared at the guards.
Princess Long Yuan stopped the guards and had them shut up. She then looked at the crowd and said with a resolute face, "Alright, count me in as well."
"Princess, this …!"
Princess Long Yuan did not reply. Instead, she looked down at the people below, "Your Highness, the title of nobility, and me."
The vagrant martial artists below looked at one another. They had only said that they were just playing around. To think that the princess would agree to it!
But they were no fools. This beast stampede would definitely be stronger than the previous one. Even if they accepted the mission, they had to be alive to enjoy it.
Princess Long Yuan was ready to throw caution to the wind. This beast stampede was different from the previous one. Based on the pattern of the beast stampede, as long as the dynasty was not destroyed, each wave would be stronger than the previous one.
In the previous beast stampede, there were greater celestial lower level beasts. Those greater celestial lower level beasts caused the sects that came to help to suffer heavy losses.
In fact, there was even a greater celestial middle level elder who died in the battle. Countless disciples were injured or killed as well.
But now that the beast stampede was coming, those sects that had suffered losses would naturally not come to help anymore.
In their eyes, there might even be greater celestial upper level beasts or even full cultivation beasts in the stampede this time around.
Those beasts were already invincible. They weren't something that ordinary sects could defend against.
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Fan chuckled. However, he wasn't too interested in this mission. When the beast stampede came, there would be some time for everyone to evacuate.
During this period of time, the Long Yuan dynasty should have already evacuated all of their citizens.
Just as Lin Fan was about to stand up and leave, he was stunned. On Princess Long Yuan's waist, there was a shard hanging from it.
This pattern … Wasn't that the Supreme Being's Shard?
Lin Fan took a closer look. This was definitely the Supreme Being's Shard. To think that the princess of Dragon Yuan would have one of these on her!
"Since the princess has made such a request, this old man here is willing to give it a shot. Seems like it's not too bad to become the Prince Consort of the Long Yuan dynasty." Just then, the only greater celestial old man present laughed out.
Princess Long Yuan's face changed. She had not expected the old man to accept this mission. But thinking about the predicament that the Long Yuan dynasty was in right now, she gritted her teeth and steeled her resolve.
The surrounding vagrant martial artists burst out laughing. To them, this old man was like an old cow that wanted to eat the cradle.
They knew that this old man was a greater celestial lower level cultivator. But after spending some time together, it wasn't a problem for them to have some fun.
"Seems like Princess Long Yuan has sacrificed quite a bit."
"Congratulations, Old Bro! Not only is he going to become a Duke of the Long Yuan dynasty, he's going to become the Prince Consort and bring home a beauty!"
"Aiyah! To think that a peerless beauty like Princess Long Yuan would end up in the hands of Old Bro! How envious!"
"Old Bro, can you handle the beast stampede this time around? Don't throw your life away for the sake of a beauty!"
Since the masses were on rather good terms with the old man, they teased him.
The old man's face was wrinkled as he chuckled, "Hais, I'm already so old, and I don't even have a son. Princess Long Yuan, why don't we consummate our marriage first and leave behind some bloodline? Even if I die in the beast stampede, I'll have fulfilled my wish."
"HAHA! That's thoughtful of you, Old Bro!"
"I think that's a good idea, Old Bro. Why don't we do it right here and now? At the same time, we can all hear the voice of Princess Long Yuan!"
"Old Bro, you're really going to die under a beautiful flower! Even if you become a ghost, you can still be a romantic!"
...
Princess Long Yuan would be lying if she wasn't angry. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of anger as well, "We've got to defend against the beast stampede first!"
"That won't do! What if I die in the beast stampede? Wouldn't I die for nothing? "The old man waved his hand disapprovingly.
"Princess Long Yuan, I think you should just give in to my Old Bro. Your Long Yuan dynasty doesn't have any greater celestial beings. If you give in to my Old Bro, who knows, he might even risk his life even more!"
"Hehe, that's right! With the help of my Old Bro, there might even be hope for the beast stampede this time around!"
Just as Princess Long Yuan was about to blow her top, a voice rang out from the other table.
"I'll accept this mission …"
