The instant the saber was drawn, Xiao Chen immediately felt an extremely complicated formation appear within the Lunar Shadow Saber. The formation lines were densely packed, like a spider web.
There was a resplendent light at the center of the formation. It looked like it would explode at any moment. Xiao Chen immediately understood what Liu Tianyu meant. As long as he opened his eyes, he would know how to execute that move.
The secret was in the center of the formation. As long as he detonated the light, he would be able to execute that move. Xiao Chen tested it out. He extended his Spiritual Sense into the formation and gently touched that light. "Chi!
Chi! " A horrifying energy immediately rushed into the center of the formation and spread out in all directions. The spiderweb-like formation lines started to light up.
Xiao Chen was startled and quickly withdrew his Spiritual Sense. The energy of the formation lines immediately receded like a receding tide. "So, this is how it is used. Just using my Spiritual Sense is like igniting a spark of dynamite. It will explode with just a spark."
Xiao Chen sheathed the Lunar Shadow Saber. The strange formation in the saber immediately cut off the connection with his Spiritual Sense. Xiao Chen looked at the scabbard and shook his head. I should change to a new scabbard in the future.
When the sky was bright, Liu Ruyue arrived at Xiao Chen's courtyard. She looked for him and explained the reason for her visit.
Xiao Chen was somewhat astonished as he said, "Elder Sister Ruyue, you are going to participate in this mission as well?"
Liu Ruyue smiled and said, "The rules of this mission state that all the experts of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion below the age of 24 must participate. I happen to be at the tail end. I am getting old. This mission is for youths like you, 18 or 19 years old."
Xiao Chen rubbed his nose and said, "Elder Sister Ruyue, actually, you still look like a 17 or 18 year old. Furthermore, you have a certain temperament that those little girls do not have."
Liu Ruyue blushed slightly and looked at Xiao Chen in surprise. She said, "This is really surprising. I don't think I have ever seen you praise a girl before. You seem to spend all your time on Qingyun Peak cultivating. Normally, you do not even speak a few words.
"Cultivation is all about relaxation and speed. Don't let yourself get too engrossed in it, or you'll develop inner demons in the future."
Xiao Chen paused for a moment. He had always been introverted. In his original world, he was not good at conversing. After coming to this cruel world, his personality became even more obvious.
Not saying anything unnecessary, not doing anything unnecessary. This had always been Xiao Chen's basic principle. Today, for the first time, he opened his mouth and praised Liu Ruyue's appearance so boldly. Even he was surprised.
Not wanting to dwell on this topic for too long, Xiao Chen changed the topic, "Elder Sister Ruyue, what are the details of this mission? Have you received the news yet?"
Liu Ruyue shook her head and said, "I am not sure, either. I only know that the person in charge of this operation is Lu Chen, the Lu Chen you met in the Returning Cloud Hall."
"Lu Chen?" Xiao Chen had a deep impression of this person. "Is he only 24 years old? Don't tell me he's stronger than you, Sister Yue. "
Since he was the person in charge, his cultivation would definitely be the highest. Liu Ruyue's cultivation was already horrifying enough. Could it be that Lu Chen was even more horrifying than her?
Liu Ruyue nodded and said, "His cultivation is about the same as mine. However, the Martial Technique he cultivates is rather special. So, his combat prowess is slightly stronger than mine. However, he is one year younger than me."
Xiao Chen felt ashamed in his heart. He is only 23 years old, and his cultivation is already very close to becoming a Martial King. Originally, he thought that aside from Liu Ruyue, there was no other genius like him in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
It looked like it was as the Hall of Contributions said. In the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, geniuses were the most worthless thing.
When Liu Ruyue saw that Xiao Chen was somewhat dispirited, she consoled him, "Don't be too discouraged. Lu Chen is being nurtured as the next leader of the Divine Saber Camp. It can be said that he has the best conditions in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Medicinal Pills, Spirit Stones, secret manuals, and there are even deathsworn soldiers specially trained in killing Qi. These are far from what you can compare to."
Xiao Chen had long understood the terror of the Divine Saber Camp. It could be said that they were the true elites of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, the final protectors. It made sense that their future leader could have such a powerful cultivation base.
"Zhi!
Zhi! "A green bird circled in the sky as it flew down. Liu Ruyue called Xiao Chen over and jumped onto it. They flew towards the Heaven Viewing Platform.
Liu Ruyue's piloting skills were many times better than Liu Suifeng's. They only spent a quarter of the time before arriving at the drill grounds of the Heaven Viewing Platform.
The people on the drill grounds had not all arrived yet. There was no one in the spectator stands; it seemed very empty.
Not long after the two of them landed, an elder led Liu Ruyue away. Xiao Chen looked at Liu Ruyue's departing figure and thought to himself, It seems like Liu Ruyue knows some insider information.
"Ye Chen, how long have you been here?" Not long after Liu Ruyue left, two familiar people walked over to Xiao Chen. They were Mu Heng and Zhang Lie, who had collapsed a long time ago.
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised when the two of them walked together. "I have not been here for long. What did you find out about this mission? It is useless."
Liu Tianyu and Xiao Chen had revealed too little information. Xiao Chen was not very confident. These two people's identities were not simple; they should have some insider information.
Mu Heng's expression was somewhat grave as he said, "My father did not reveal much to me. He only used four words to describe this mission: Ninety percent chance of survival."
There was no useful information. Xiao Chen was somewhat disappointed; he did not know as much as he did. "Since there is a ninety percent chance of survival, why would your father dare to send you out?"
When Mu Heng heard this, he took out a talisman and said, "This is a Divine Flame Talisman. It can instantly teleport. Zhang Lie has one as well."
Xiao Chen had heard of the Divine Flame Talisman before. It was extremely expensive. It was in short supply in the Great Jin Nation, where it originated from. Once it appeared in the Great Qin Nation, it would be gone. He did not expect the two of them to have one.
With the Divine Flame Talisman, they could save their lives at a crucial moment. No wonder they dared to risk their lives. They had already prepared a path of retreat.
Mu Heng continued, "From the news I received, there is a limited number of Divine Flame Talismans. Aside from the top ten core disciples on the Wind Cloud List, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion Elders' Assembly did not give out any Divine Flame Talismans."
Xiao Chen could understand this. It was the survival of the fittest. Outstanding people had superior conditions; it was the same everywhere.
With Liu Tianyu's position, he should be able to obtain a Divine Flame Talisman. However, it was not hard to guess why he did not give it to Xiao Chen.
Zhang Lie, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Ye Chen, you broke through to Martial Saint?"
Xiao Chen nodded and smiled gently, "Aren't you the same?"
When Zhang Lie heard this, he smiled bitterly, "I originally thought that after I became a Martial Saint, I would be able to surpass you. Who knew that you would become a Martial Saint as well?"
The people on the drill grounds arrived one after another. The moment the top ten people on the Wind Cloud List landed, they were immediately taken away by the Elders' Assembly. It was probably to give them the Divine Flame Talisman.
The three of them chatted for a long time, exchanging their experiences and comprehensions of Martial Techniques. The three of them had pretty good talent; they all had their own unique understanding of Saber Techniques.
After chatting for a long time, the three of them felt that they had gained a lot. Some of the questions that they could not figure out were answered.
This was especially so for Xiao Chen and Zhang Lie. The two of them had practiced the Lingyun Saber Technique to Great Perfection. However, their methods were different. After exchanging their experiences, they gained some comprehensions.
"Ye Chen, come over for a while. I have something to talk to you about!"
Liu Ruyue's melodious voice came from the front. Xiao Chen said goodbye to the two of them and quickly walked over.
Liu Ruyue's expression was exceptionally grave. She brought Xiao Chen to a place where there was no one around. She took out a Divine Flame Talisman and said, "This is a Divine Flame Talisman. At a crucial moment, it can save your life. Take it."
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He did not expect Liu Ruyue to give her Divine Flame Talisman to him. However, since Liu Tianyu did not give him a Divine Flame Talisman, he probably had his own plans.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen did not take it. He said, "You should only have one Divine Flame Talisman. You should keep it and use it. It should be more than enough for me to use my Movement Technique to escape."
Liu Ruyue frowned slightly and said somewhat angrily, "Are you saying that your Movement Technique is better than mine? Now that your strength has improved, you look down on me, your master? "
Xiao Chen was caught off guard. He quickly explained, "No, that is not what I meant. I mean …"
"Don't say no. I told you to take it, so take it. If you don't take it, I will really get angry." Liu Ruyue seemed to be really angry.
Xiao Chen felt helpless. He could only take the Divine Flame Talisman that Liu Ruyue handed to him. He said, "Thank you, Elder Sister Ruyue!"
Seeing Xiao Chen take the Divine Flame Talisman, Liu Ruyue's expression immediately turned warm. She said, "That's right! I will not be able to accompany you on this mission. I just received news that there are a total of a hundred people participating in this mission.
"You will be split into ten groups. Each group will have ten people. The top ten core disciples on the Wind Cloud List will lead the group. This mission is very dangerous. Be careful."
After Liu Ruyue spoke, she left Xiao Chen in a hurry. She seemed to be in a rush. Xiao Chen thought to himself.
It looks like Liu Ruyue already knows the details of this mission. Since she is in such a hurry, this mission should be much more dangerous than I thought.
When Xiao Chen returned to the drill grounds, Mu Heng and Zhang Lie immediately waved at Xiao Chen, indicating for him to come over. Xiao Chen nodded and quickly walked over.
The hundred people participating in the mission had already arrived on the drill grounds. The people from the Elders' Assembly were discussing something anxiously on the tall platform in front.
Suddenly, Zhang Lie asked in a soft voice, "Ye Chen, did your master reveal anything to you? I saw her standing in the elders' seats. She should know something!"
When Mu Heng heard this, he looked at Xiao Chen curiously. Xiao Chen shook his head, "She did not say anything. She only gave me a Divine Flame Talisman. Anyway, we are about to depart. The answer will be revealed soon."
Mu Heng nodded, "That's true. If we continue to let our imaginations run wild, we will not be able to guess the answer. We might as well wait patiently."
After waiting for a long time, there was still no news. The people present started to get impatient. All sorts of discussions gathered together; it was very chaotic.
Xiao Chen cocked his head and listened for a while. They were all guesses about this mission. What surprised him was that many people had already guessed the general direction.
The discussion on the tall platform finally stopped. When the First Elder of the Main Hall's Elders' Assembly, Jiang Chi, heard the noise below, he frowned slightly, "Silence!"
