After seeing the members of Squad 27 for the first time, Yi Tian finally had an idea of what was going on. His squad was at most average in terms of strength, and they also had an early stage Yuanying burden. He cursed both Hong Fei and Qingyuan in his heart.
He looked at the early stage Yuanying female cultivator in front of him and couldn't help but feel angry. This person's face was dignified and still had a childish air. She looked to be in her late twenties.
According to her bone age, she was less than 300 years old. In terms of aptitude, she was excellent, but there was still a hint of immaturity between her eyebrows. Clearly, she hadn't experienced much.
He estimated that she was most likely a second generation cultivator. The spirit force around her body wasn't very stable. She should have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This way, she didn't even cultivate any spells before going out on a mission. Wouldn't that mean he had to be her nanny?
When Yi Tian saw this, his expression immediately changed. He glanced at the other three people and saw that they were intentionally or unintentionally avoiding his gaze. They should have known that such a clown was coming.
Yi Tian really wanted to find the deacon to change the team members. Fortunately, he had trained himself well over the years. He asked in a deep voice, "Come, tell me your name and your identity jade token."
The female cultivator pouted. When she saw Yi Tian staring at her with a serious expression, she didn't dare to pretend anymore. She just took out a jade token and handed it over. "Luoxia City's Hua Family, Hua Yuxin."
Yi Tian's expression became serious. He slowly released the power he had cultivated over the years. "I asked for your name, not your family. Don't talk nonsense. Also, I'm your superior. When you see your superior in the inspection department, you have to use honorifics. Didn't you learn these rules when you joined the inspection department? "
Hua Yuxin's expression suddenly changed and she was about to explode. However, he secretly thought that as long as Hua Yuxin made a scene, he would have a chance to kick her out of the squad.
Then, he would have a reason to ask the deacon for a mid stage Yuanying member.
Unexpectedly, Hua Yuxin stood in place and waited for a while. Her whole body trembled, and then she forced herself to calm down. Then, she cupped her fists and said to Yi Tian, "Subordinate Hua Yuxin pays respect to Captain. This is my ID tag."
Yi Tian was surprised to hear this. He didn't expect this second generation Xiu in front of him to be so good. He got into the role so quickly. Reaching out his hand, he took her identity jade tablet and glanced at it. It was obvious that it was almost the same as his own. Both were brand new.
However, he had been forced into the Department of Investigation. It wasn't because of the Hua family's Eldest Miss in front of him.
Thinking that there was still plenty of time for them to interact in the future, Yi Tian smiled and returned the jade token to Hua Yuxin before opening his mouth, "Now that our squad 27 is complete, I will now take out the mission issued by the Inspection Department for everyone to take a look."
With a wave of his hand, he took out the mission jade slip and gently opened it. Instantly, four divine senses reached out and scanned the jade slip several times. Then, the Kui family's brothers' faces became very interesting. Zhao Chen also frowned and remained silent.
Yi Tian knew that there must be something fishy about this. He glanced at the jade slip and saw that it said, "Investigate the area around Solitary Cloud Mountain. Five days ago, the Tongtian Pavilion's caravan disappeared there. You only need to find clues about the caravan." Next was a detailed description of the people. The Tongtian Pavilion's caravan was originally expected to arrive in Luo Xia City three days ago, but this time, they missed the handover time.
According to the information provided by rogue cultivators, they last saw the caravan under the banner of the Tongtian Pavilion entering Solitary Cloud Mountain. Therefore, the shopkeeper of the Tongtian Pavilion asked the Inspection Department to find the whereabouts of the caravan.
The Qingyuan was in charge of the surrounding affairs outside the city, so they naturally sent this matter directly to him.
After taking out the map, he quickly found the location of Solitary Cloud Mountain. It was about two thousand miles north of Luo Xia City in a steep mountain forest.
It could be said that it was the only way to get to the north of Luo Xia City. However, when he saw the expressions of the four people, he understood that Solitary Cloud Mountain was not a good place.
He was a newcomer to the Inspection Department, so he didn't want to be disgraced. Therefore, he had to complete his first mission and complete it beautifully. This way, both the Hong Fei and the Qingyuan would see his value.
After thinking about it, he said, "Since we have accepted this mission, please express your opinions. I also want to hear your opinions."
After Kui Bao looked at Zhao Chen, he looked like he wanted to say something. In terms of seniority, Zhao Chen was below Yi Tian, so he had to speak first.
After receiving the signal from his teammates, Zhao Chen also stepped forward and said to Yi Tian, "Forgive me for saying this, but the Tongtian Pavilion's caravan has gone missing. The pavilion's guards will go to investigate. Why do you need to report to the Inspection Department? As far as this subordinate knows, although the Tongtian Pavilion is a merchant alliance, the force behind it has a close relationship with the Shangqing Daoism. Why don't you ask the sect's masters to come? "
Kui Lang also took the opportunity to say, "That's right, and the caravan went missing five days ago. It's a bit too late for us to investigate now."
Yi Tian frowned and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Kui Lang continued, "If it was done by humans, they would have cleaned up the caravan in five days. If they encountered a beast disaster, there probably wouldn't be much left."
"Beast disaster?" Yi Tian asked puzzledly, "How can there be such a rampant beastkin in the territory of Luoxia City?"
Hua Yuxin, who was standing on the side, turned to look at Yi Tian. Seeing that the other three were silent, she found an opportunity to say, "Captain, you don't know if there are other places around Luoxia City where demonic beasts roam, but most of them are in the Divine Transformation Realm. Maybe this time, the caravan of the Pavilion of Tongtian happened to encounter them."
"There are always guards following the caravan, and the number of people will not be small. What is their cultivation level?" Yi Tian asked again.
Kui Bao continued, "Usually, the Tongtian Pavilion's caravan is accompanied by four guards. The cultivation level of the leader is about the late Yuanying stage. The remaining three are all Yuanying stage cultivators. "
In this way, Yi Tian had a general understanding. He pointed to the direction of Lonely Cloud Mountain and said, "This mission is urgent. Our biggest concern is that the caravan's disappearance has been delayed for too long. So, you have two hours to prepare your luggage. After two hours, gather at the gate of the inspection office. We will go directly to Lonely Cloud Mountain to investigate. "
Although the other four people had some doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey the order. They hurriedly left to buy materials and prepare to set off.
Yi Tian took advantage of this free time to take the mission jade slip in his hand and read it carefully several times. He couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain in his heart. This mission underestimated him, but it was his first time here, so he should take things easy. Moreover, this matter did not seem to be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Also, there was definitely something wrong with Hua Yuxin. It was very disadvantageous to keep such a hidden danger around. He had to find an opportunity to find out her background.
