In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed!
Flying Feather Military Council Hall
"I wonder why Mistress has summoned us!"
Li Suqing looked at Su Fang and then at Lian Zhan, looking confused.
The three of them had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, but Qiu Lengji still had not appeared. They could not help but feel impatient.
"Come in!"
A member of the Flying Feather Army came to the entrance of the hall.
The three of them entered the Military Council Hall. This was their first time seeing what the inside of the Military Council Hall looked like.
Besides the majestic hall, there were three array formation doors. It seemed like this Military Council Hall was a completely different world.
Qiu Lengji suddenly appeared from the right door and nodded at the three of them. The three of them followed her into the right door.
After passing through the array formation, their eyes lit up. A solemn hall seemed to have suddenly appeared in front of them. The three of them could not get used to it.
Lian Zhan was considered old, but he had never been to the Military Council Hall. His expression was similar to Su Fang and Li Suqing's.
"Senior Brother!"
Two middle-aged men stood in the hall. One was Tu Yue Ye, and the other was slightly younger. He was also not simple. He wore a black feather long robe with many black feathers.
Tu Yue Ye gestured for Qiu Lengji to sit at the side. He then looked at the young man with black feathers. "Mistress, Su Fang, Li Suqing, and Lian Zhan are here!"
Tu Yue Ye's status was higher than Qiu Lengji and Chi Xinshuai. However, in front of this man with black feathers, who was about thirty years old, he was very respectful.
Su Fang looked around curiously. "Who is this person? I can't sense his aura at all!"
Tu Yue Ye then looked at the three of them and introduced them solemnly. "This is the leader of our Flying Feather Army, Yang Zhong Jue, Mistress Yang!"
Leader of the Flying Feather Army
Su Fang, Lian Zhan, and Li Suqing were obviously shocked.
They actually saw the leader of the Flying Feather Army.
The man with black feathers, Yang Zhong Jue, spoke in a deep and magnetic voice. "Your Silver Moon Team has made a great contribution by capturing the spy from the Red Swallow Mountain. Junior Brother Tu!"
"Junior Brother understands!"
Tu Yueye walked up to the three of them and waved his hand. The three tokens immediately fell into his palm, and a black feather appeared on it. He then grabbed three sets of armor, the Black Feather Armor.
"All members of the Silver Moon Team have made great contributions. They will be bestowed with the Black Feather Armor, as well as the military merit battle tattoo." He then handed the Black Feather Armor and the badge back to the three of them.
The three of them looked at the Black Feather Battle Armor and saw a feather on it. It was exactly the same as the four feathers on Tu Yue's Night Battle Armor. This represented the number of times a person had made great contributions. The more contributions they made, the more battle runes they would have.
Tu Yueye already had four battle runes, which showed how ferocious and warlike she used to be.
At this moment, Lian Zhan, Su Fang, and Li Suqing all smiled in surprise. They put on the Black Feather Armor first. This was a magic treasure, and they felt completely different. From now on, they were officially part of the Flying Feather Army.
"This time, besides giving you the rewards you deserve, I also have a secret mission for the three of you." Tu Yueye walked towards Qiu Lengji and asked Su Fang and the other two to follow him.
Qiu Lengji continued, "During this period of time, we have been interrogating the female bandits and obtained a lot of useful information. We, the Flying Feather Army, are preparing to attack the bandit leader, Boss Hong. However, before that, we have to figure out the situation inside the nest, such as the traps, mechanisms, and the entrance of the fortress. Therefore, the higher-ups have decided to find a few unfamiliar faces to infiltrate the bandit nest and obtain information. In the end, they have decided to let the three of you complete this difficult but honorable mission."
Infiltrating the bandit nest …
They thought it was a good thing. After all, they suddenly received a reward, but they received a mission that was almost a suicide mission.
Infiltrating the bandit nest meant that they were spies. If they were discovered by the bandits, there would be no survivors. Therefore, this infiltration mission was equivalent to a suicide mission.
Tu Yueye continued, "The three of you have just joined the Flying Feather Army, so the bandits cannot know your identities. Moreover, we have obtained various secret codes and contact information from the female spy. As long as you know these, you will not be in danger in the bandit nest. The higher-ups think highly of you and think you can complete the mission."
"Yes!"
Lian Zhan was the first to nod.
Su Fang and Li Suqing hesitated for a moment, but they finally bowed and agreed.
Could they not agree? Of course not. The arrow was already on the bow. If the three of them were not willing, they would not be able to establish themselves in the Flying Feather Army!
This was equivalent to a death order. The three of them were not allowed to say no.
"Junior Sister Qiu, I will leave the rest to you. You have to teach them everything in a short time!" Tu Yueye looked at Qiu Lengji seriously.
Qiu Lengji immediately brought the three of them out of the array formation hall. Before she left, she even bowed to Yang Zhongjue.
"Now, I will use my Primordial Spirit to transmit the information I obtained from the bandits to you. Do not miss any word, any gesture, any secret code!"
Back at the Imperial Residence
Qiu Lengji gathered the three of them in the main hall. After she finished speaking, she immediately released her mystical abilities and moved her lips silently. Su Fang and the other two's expressions became more and more surprised.
In the remaining time, Qiu Lengji let the three of them meditate.
This meditation lasted for three days.
Three days later, Qiu Lengji tested the three of them. She made a hand gesture and said a secret phrase, and the three of them were able to reply fluently or follow the hand gesture.
Qiu Lengji suddenly lowered her voice: "We will set off tomorrow. We will send you to the vicinity of the bandit's nest, and when you obtain the information, you will immediately think of a way to leave the nest. Use your hand seals in time, and we will meet up with you immediately. This mission is to obtain information and also to find the nest's treasure trove. You also have to pay attention to which bandit leaders are close to Boss Hong. Don't let go of any clues. Once we exterminate the bandit's nest, you will have achieved another great merit and will also enter the Flying Feather Army's Machine Hall to serve. In the future, you will not have to constantly come out to take risks and carry out various missions. You will be responsible for the internal affairs of the Flying Feather Army!"
"Internal work. Doesn't that mean there will be many opportunities for me to get in touch with the internal department? My chance has come. As long as I complete this mission, I will be able to find my father's whereabouts as quickly as possible."
Lian Zhan and Li Suqing couldn't bring themselves to be happy. How could they be happy about a suicide mission?
However, Su Fang was looking forward to this mission. This was because this was the best opportunity for him to enter the upper echelons of the Flying Feather Army.
Star Duel Sand Plains
The sky rolled over with a violent sandstorm. Qiu Lengji brought Lian Zhan, Su Fang, and Li Suqing directly across the Flying Sand Castle and into the middle of the desert.
Along the way, she set down the three people at intervals. Qiu Lengji also rode her Single Horned Colt and disappeared.
In the sandstorm that filled the sky, only Su Fang's insignificant voice could be heard. It was as if the layer of sand that was raised, as well as the violent wind, could instantly swallow him up and leave him forever in this desert.
At this time, Su Fang was dressed as a bandit. In order to make himself look even more like a bandit, he began to bask in the sun. He used both his hands to grab sand, rubbing it on his shoulders, neck, calves, and even his face.
After a long time, his whole body had large amounts of scars left behind by the sandstorm. His skin was not only dark, but also rough. He felt as if he had suddenly become a middle-aged man.
Before he came, he had hidden the empty bag well. When he arrived near the bandit's lair, he would hide the empty bag somewhere else. When he arrived at the bandit's lair, he would definitely be searched. He could not find anything related to the Sky Gate Prefecture, otherwise, even a hundred lives would not be enough to save him.
Kacha ~ Kacha
The flying sand hit his whole body. In the violent wind, he advanced in reverse. The wind and sand hit his face and palms. Even with his clothes covering, he still felt bursts of pain.
"The Skeleton Sand Sea that Boss Hong is sitting on, the nest should be just ahead."
Slowing down, he looked around. When he came to a stone mountain that was still standing in the yellow sand, he took off the Immortal Thorn Armor and sucked it into the empty bag. Finally, he hid the empty bag in the insole layer.
"Hua ~"
The desert below his feet suddenly formed a whirlpool state.
"Shatuo monsters!"
Su Fang hastily jumped up. As expected, he saw tentacles extend from the center of the whirlpool. Shatuo monsters, in this Star Duel Sand Field, were existences more terrifying than poisonous scorpions. In the case a Shatuo monster dragged him into the desert, let alone a Secret Path Realm, even a Magic Hole Realm expert could only die.
He hurriedly ran towards the Skeleton Sand Sea, and the yellow sand whirlpool that continuously appeared behind him, as if it had grown eyes, fiercely chasing after him.
It seemed that the Shatuo monsters also had a special ability to sense life energy or smell.
"Xiu Xiu"
After fleeing for a while, he was unable to distinguish between north and south. Suddenly, a highly toxic arrow shot over, eerily falling in front of Su Fang.
Pretending to be shocked, he looked ahead. A dozen or so yellow-clothed bandits, feeling as if they had been hiding in the yellow sand all this time, each one holding a large bow, condensing a highly toxic magic arrow, as if they wanted to instantly kill Su Fang.
The Shatuo monsters were getting closer and closer, and Su Fang quickly made several hand gestures.
One of them responded with a hand gesture, letting him go first.
He hastily ran over, and a hundred meters away, he met with a dozen or so bandits. But as soon as he saw them, a scimitar was pressed against his neck, practically about to slit his throat, and the Grim Reaper was waving at him.
A burly bandit with a scar on his lower jaw and Thunder-God eyes grabbed Su Fang's neck: "You are from Kulu Valley, impossible. Not a single person from Kulu Valley survived. Where did you come from, Tianmen Province's Red Swallow Mountain?"
"I'm not a spy, I'm not a spy!" Su Fang was so scared he practically pissed his pants.
"What's the meaning of this?" The bandit repeatedly made several hand gestures.
Su Fang trembled as he replied: "There's a ghost, three kilometers to the east."
"There's meat to eat today."
"This is an order from the top, indicating that there's an operation today."
"Your token is missing."
"This is to remind me that the other party is an enemy, not a friend, when there's an enemy."
"Good, it seems that you are indeed a brother who escaped from Kulu Valley, but we need to go back and verify further. You two take him back first."
The yellow-clothed bandit tested some code words and hand gestures, and in the end, Su Fang could answer all of them. Then, he had someone escort Su Fang to the depths of the desert.
Skeleton Sand Sea
After waiting for half an hour, Su Fang finally learned the origin of this name.
At this time, Su Fang came to the ruins of a desert that seemed to only have bare remnants of the city walls. But as yellow sand whirlpools gushed out from the surroundings, and desert monsters appeared, suddenly a large number of the ruins of the city walls in front of him began to move slowly.
Su Fang saw the whirlpool controlled by the Shatuo monsters approaching and hurriedly retreated. The person next to him patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, these Shatuo monsters were caught by us as tools to control the entrance."
Tu Tu Tu
After the city walls moved strangely, a skeleton-shaped entrance to the underground palace appeared. Looking at the surrounding city walls, it seemed to have become a huge human skull that faced the sky.
"Let's go."
The two of them escorted Su Fang into the Skeleton Underground Palace. There were torches and gems on both sides, so the view was very wide. When they came down, they saw a few bandits guarding the entrance.
The number of tunnels in the underground palace also increased, and it was very complicated. There were also more and more bandits. From time to time, they could see charming, round, and graceful beauties coming and going in the tunnels.
