Mortal Mage

Xuantian Sword Sect, Elders' Tower.

Liu Hanyan was wearing a white gauze dress and sitting cross-legged opposite Chen Feng.

A set of Go was placed between the two of them.

"Over the past two thousand years, the number of single spiritual roots produced by Cuiyun has been decreasing."

While thinking about the chess game, Liu Hanyan said to Chen Feng, "Our sect leader wants me to take back all the spirit insects from Cuiyun."

Chen Feng seemed not to have heard Liu Hanyan's words. He stared at the chessboard quietly, shook his head slightly, and didn't know where to put the white piece in his hand.

"The leaders of the Spirit Beast Sect and the Qingfeng Sect also have this idea."

Liu Hanyan whispered softly and continued, "If Cuiyun doesn't take back those hundreds of spirit insects, they will be killed."

The worry on Chen Feng's face suddenly disappeared, and he placed the white piece in his hand steadily on the chessboard, with a look of joy on his face. "You want to take back Cuiyun's spirit insects. As an elder, I can't interfere. But Cuiyun is my hometown. I hope to leave a low-grade spirit insect to keep Chen Feng Continent from collapsing."

Hearing this, Liu Hanyan's mouth was filled with joy, and he deliberately moved a chess piece that was about to be placed to kill the enemy. "As long as Brother Chenfeng is willing to come forward to persuade your master, I think the Spirit Beast Sect and the Qingfeng Sect will definitely be flexible on this small matter." His expression became more and more joyful, and he continued, "After all, we have been managing Cuiyun for tens of thousands of years. When we die, we will naturally leave a peaceful life for the mortals in that world."

At this time, a charming woman with jade rings and earrings walked into the room and said to Liu Hanyan, "Master, there is something."

"No need to transmit the message, just say it directly, there are no outsiders here."

Upon hearing this, the woman reported softly, "A disciple just sent me a jade slip saying that Cuiyun has opened a teleportation array to and from this world. Currently, a large number of Cuiyun cultivators are appearing in the sky above the Great Song Kingdom." After she finished speaking, she stopped talking and waited for instructions.

Sect elders and high-ranking officials generally do not allow low-level disciples to directly transmit messages to them. Instead, they first have their subordinates screen the importance of the information and report it step by step.

"what?"

Liu Hanyan's face was full of doubts. She stood up from the futon.

Anything that can be reported to him must have been verified and is generally correct.

Chen Feng was a little slower to react, and he looked up at the woman who reported it in the same surprise.

The woman just bowed slightly, without any extra movements.

"Brother Chenfeng, I need to return to the sect to report first. Let's put this chess game aside for now."

Liu Hanyan finished speaking hurriedly to Chen Feng, bowed and said goodbye, turned around and left the attic, and flew away on a crane with the woman.

Chen Feng stepped out of the attic, looked at the direction where Liu Hanyan left, smiled faintly, and called out; "Qing Lan"

A circle of ripples spread out in the space behind him, and Qinglan's body appeared.

"Elder."

Qinglan whispered in response.

"Have you found out?"

Chen Feng spoke in a calm tone.

"We have found out that Cuiyun's story is almost the same as what Zhang Mingxuan said, but the teleportation array diagram has not been leaked. Instead, it is in the hands of Yun Zhongzi of Xianyuan Sect."

"Yes." Chen Feng responded lightly, saying, "Xianyuan Sect is a subordinate sect of Qingfeng Sect, so we should not interfere too much." He raised up in the air on tiptoe, and a leaf appeared under his feet. "I will go to the main peak and give Mingxuan's teleportation formation map to the sect master for decision. In addition, you must protect Mingxuan."

"Don't worry, elder!"

Qinglan bowed and accepted the order.

After Chen Feng had completely left, a middle-aged man in a scarlet robe came flying with a sword, landed beside Qing Lan, knelt on the ground, and anxiously reported, "Master Qing Lan, a fifth-level demonic aura was found in the Lihuo area. In addition, the outer sect patrol disciple Zhang Mingxuan is missing."

"what?"

Qing Lan looked at the middle-aged man in shock and asked sternly, "Where are He Yiping and He Yihu?"

"They followed your instructions to test Zhang Mingxuan's background, but three hours ago they sent a message saying they were in danger. When we arrived, we detected a strong fifth-level monster aura and did not dare to act rashly. After the monster aura disappeared, Zhang Mingxuan, He Yiping, and He Yihu were all missing. But Master Qinglan, don't worry, their sect's life and death are all on display."

"Quickly go gather a few Nascent Soul disciples and follow me to find Zhang Mingxuan's whereabouts. We must not let him get into trouble."

"Yes!"

"and many more!"

Qing Lan stopped him and added, "Go to the Mission Pavilion and issue the sect's mission. Anyone who finds information about a fifth-level monster or above in Luyang Continent must report it immediately. No mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly obeyed the order, stepped on the sword, and left quickly.
