Liu Ming stayed in the trading area until a blood moon rose in the dark sky, then he returned to his cave house.
In the next few days, besides meditating, he always wandered around the city and chatted with some shopkeepers. Gradually, he got a preliminary understanding of the entire Golden Light City and its nearby areas.
At the same time, after the last test, he and the four members of the seventh squad had gradually become familiar with each other. After all, in such a cruel and dangerous place, powerful people would always receive more respect.
On this day, when he was chatting with the shopkeeper in a sundry shop, the token hanging on his waist suddenly buzzed and gave out black light. A few lines of small words appeared in the black light.
After glancing at the small words, Liu Ming frowned slightly. After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, he turned around and left the shop. Then, he stomped his feet and sped towards the direction of the cave residence.
He had just received a message from the higher-ups, which assigned a task to Team Seven.
After 15 minutes, when Liu Ming arrived at the entrance of the cave residence, the other four members of Team Seven were already standing at the entrance.
"Captain Liu Ming, you're here." The hunchbacked old man and the young childe bowed to Liu Ming with a faint smile.
Although the young woman in red dress and the Man With A Red Bow still looked a bit unnatural, they also greeted him.
Liu Ming didn't care about it. He just nodded. When he was going to say something, a clear whistle came from behind.
When they looked back, they saw a streak of grey light flash before them, and it had already landed not far away from them.
The grey light dissipated, revealing the figure of a tall and thin man. This person seemed to be around thirty years of age. His complexion was a little yellow, but his eyes were as sharp as lightning, brimming with vigor.
"You're all here. Very good." The tall and thin man glanced over them and finally fixed his eyes on Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's face slightly changed. This man was a cultivator in the early stage of Jin Dan. Besides, the grey light just now was the magical sword-controlling skill that he couldn't be more familiar with.
When their eyes met, the tall and thin man suddenly revealed a strange expression. His eyes suddenly lit up, and a fierce sword essence was shot out.
Liu Ming felt a slight tingling in his eyes. Then, a purple lightning rose from his body and a dense sword essence was released from his body.
The two sword intents collided in mid-air. A formless gust of wind erupted in the space before the two of them, and then they both quickly dissipated.
"Good! It seems that you're the new deputy captain of our team, Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu Ming. I've long heard of Junior Martial Brother's great name. Now that I've seen you today, you really are extraordinary! "The glaring light in the tall and thin man's eyes receded and he laughed heartily.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice, I'm Liu Ming. Greetings, Captain Min!" The purple light on Liu Ming's body dissipated, and he cupped his hands.
In the past few days, he had heard some things about this Team Seven captain from the old hunchback and the others, but he had never met him.
Jin Dan stage captains all lived alone in a cave. They didn't live in the same place as the others.
The old hunchback and the others saw the situation just now, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes. Liu Ming seemed to be able to stand up to the tall and thin man in the Jin Dan stage. The four's evaluation of Liu Ming immediately increased.
"Greetings, Captain Min." The four also cupped their fists and bowed.
The man with the surname Min shook his head and said, "Everyone, don't be so polite. You and I are from the same sect. It's just that we're working together. It's not fun to be too polite."
Liu Ming's eyes flickered. The man with the surname Min's character was somewhat similar to Qiu Longzi. They were both straightforward people.
"Since you're all here, I'll cut to the chase. You should have read the message from the upper management just now. The Sect has assigned us a tricky task this time." The man with the surname Min said directly.
Liu Ming's expression didn't change much, but the old hunchback and the others' expressions changed slightly.
They had all read the message just now. According to the message, a fortress at the front of Golden Light City was destroyed by the Evil Ghost Legion. The task this time was to search for survivors and an important item there.
The four of them had been in the Evil Ghost Realm for many years, so they naturally understood the danger of this task.
The fortress outside Golden Light City was located deep into the Evil Ghost Realm. The fortress at the front was mainly set up to serve as an early warning and warning against a large-scale attack by the Evil Ghost Legion.
The core of the fortress at the front was an unusual treasure called the "Fortune Bowl". This bowl could convert a small area of the Yin Qi of this world into the Spirit Qi needed by human cultivators. It was an essential item for human cultivators to stay in the Evil Ghost Realm for a long time. In the past few days, Liu Ming learned that the golden ball of light at the top of the tower in the main city of Golden Light City was a special giant Fortune Bowl.
Due to the difficulty of refining this item, there weren't many of them in Jin Guangjun. Once the fortress was breached, the pre-set restriction would be triggered, and the Fortune Bowl would automatically teleport back to the main city of Jin Guangjun. However, this time, the Evil Ghost Legion had used some kind of interference. Although the item was teleported out when the fortress was breached, it didn't return to Golden Light City. It was probably somewhere else.
Their team's mission this time was to find this lost Good Fortune Bowl at all costs.
This time, the fortress that was breached was Fort XIX, which was the furthest in the Evil Ghost Realm. It was a hundred thousand miles away from Golden Light City, and was also the place where the Evil Ghost Legion and human cultivators fought the most.
"There's no need to worry. Due to the danger of this task, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Sect's upper echelons have sent Team Seven, Team Nine and Team Ten to take care of this task," the man surnamed Min said as he observed everyone's expressions.
Hearing this, the expressions of the hunchbacked old man and the other three eased.
The three teams were already a very powerful force. Even if they were unfortunate enough to encounter the Evil Ghost Legion, they would definitely not be able to defeat them. However, if they worked together, they were confident that they would be able to escape unscathed.
"Team Nine …" Liu Ming's heart skipped a beat. Qi Yue, who brought him here, seemed to be a member of that team. He wondered if he would participate in this task.
"This is a Sensing Bead. It can sense the location of the Fortune Bowl within a hundred miles." As Friar Min spoke, he took out five light golden thumb-sized beads and distributed them to Liu Ming and the other four.
Liu Ming took the beads, looked at them for a moment, and then put them away.
"There's no time to lose. Let's set off and meet up with the other two teams at the gate of Golden Light City." After saying this, the man surnamed Min turned around and took the lead in flying towards the city gate.
The group of six quickly arrived at the city gate. They could vaguely see a crowd of people in front of them. Judging from the number of people, the other two teams should have already arrived.
Liu Ming's gaze swept across the crowd, and a smile appeared on his face. He saw Qi Yue standing in one of the teams with a smile on his face. He was also looking at them.
"Brother Zhuo, Brother Mu, I'm a little late. Sorry to keep you waiting." The man surnamed Min landed and laughed loudly from afar.
The other two teams' Jin Dan realm captains were a tall old man with blue eyes and a long beard. The other was a Burly Man with a red face.
Qi Yue and three other Fake Dan realm cultivators stood behind the Blue-eyed Old Man. There were also four people behind the Burly Man. The three teams added up to a total of 16 cultivators.
Three Jin Dan realm cultivators and 13 Fake Dan realm cultivators. They were a very powerful force anywhere.
Moreover, these people were the elites of the Sect. Most of them had stayed in a dangerous place like the Evil Spirit Realm for many years.
"Let's talk about other things later. This task is very urgent. Since everyone is here, let's set off immediately." The Blue-eyed Old Man seemed to have an ordinary relationship with the man surnamed Min. He turned around and walked towards the city gate after saying this coldly.
The Burly Man greeted the man surnamed Min in a friendly manner. He glanced at Liu Ming curiously before looking away and walking towards the city gate with his subordinates.
The man surnamed Min did not mind at all. He called for Liu Ming and the others to follow him.
The group arrived at the city gate and handed over their identity tokens to the disciples guarding the gate.
Jin Guangjun was very strict when it came to entering and leaving the city gate. The members of the first team were not allowed to leave the city unless they were on a mission from the Sect.
After checking their identity tokens and registering them, Liu Ming and the others left Golden Light City.
The gloomy sky loomed over everyone's heads, and dense Yin Qi suddenly rolled in from all directions. Everyone's faces turned grave.
"Let's go!" As the three team leaders gave the order, everyone turned into three fleeting lights and flew away in three groups.
Their destination was Fort XIX, northeast of Golden Light City. More than a dozen fleeting lights flew across the sky like a meteor shower.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Liu Ming's eyes flickered and he uttered a sound of surprise.
After leaving Golden Light City, the further they flew, the denser the surrounding Yin Qi became. Even their divine sense began to be greatly restricted.
Liu Ming had sensed the restriction of his divine sense when he entered the Evil Spirit Path. However, it was far less serious than it was now.
"Younger Brother Liu, you've just arrived here, so you don't know. The deeper you go into the Evil Spirit Path, the denser the surrounding Yin Qi will be. These chaotic Qi will disturb your divine sense. It's fine near Golden Light City, but when you get close to Fort XIX, your divine sense will only be able to explore a few miles around. "Qi Yue came over and explained with a smile when he saw Liu Ming's expression.
"So that's how it is. This Evil Spirit Realm is truly dangerous." Liu Ming frowned.
"Younger Brother Liu, you'll know this soon after staying here for a long time." Qi Yue said with a smile.
More than a dozen people flew forward in silence. Due to the restriction of their divine sense, they didn't dare to go too fast. It would probably take them one day and one night to cover the distance of more than 100,000 miles.
"Be careful, there's a swarm of Ghost Bees ahead!" The Blue-eyed Old Man, who was flying at the front, suddenly warned with a flash of green light in his eyes.
Liu Ming was shocked when he heard this.
He had read about this kind of ghost in the ancient book he got from the Woman monk with green clothes. It was a kind of ghost that lived in groups. Their cultivation was average, but they were very difficult to deal with.
