Chapter 157 The Most Difficult Task is…
Two hundred miles south of the city,
A beam of light suddenly appeared, then vanished in an instant.
Wan Lei, carrying Selena, and Fang Xiaoyu, appeared here.
"Wife, you're so amazing!!!"
Young Master Lei tossed Selena to the ground and lunged into Fang Xiaoyu's arms.
"Alright, alright, it's good that the mission is complete. Next, we need to find Selena's contact, hand over the item, and then the mission will be perfectly completed."
"But, the immortal didn't assign us this task."
"According to my deduction, if there are no surprises, it should be like this. He can't just have us drop Selena here and wait to die.
Right now, the whole city is probably searching for us, and it won't be long before they search outside the city.
A mission should have a beginning and an end. Wait, the mission will come out in a while.
That guy is probably thinking about what hell-level difficulty mission to give us."
"Okay then."
Wan Lei took out some pills to help Selena heal. She was an important NPC; he couldn't let her die like this.
The white-robed youth nodded slightly to the side. Fang Xiaoyu's plan was perfect and proceeded without any surprises. Everything was under her control.
Thinking of this, the white-robed youth couldn't help but sigh,
"Who said girls named Xiaoyu aren't smart? Look now, isn't there a wise one?
Lao Wan, don't say you're the number one wise man in the Prime Plane anymore. Finally, someone stronger than you has appeared."
At some point, perhaps he had just arrived, perhaps he had been there all along, a black-robed youth appeared next to the white-robed youth.
The black-robed youth had a stern face, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
"First, I have never called myself the number one wise man in the Prime Plane. You guys are the ones who say that. A wise man never has such thoughts. You must always maintain a humble attitude. Every opponent has their strengths. Treating the enemy as a fool is the most foolish thing to do.
Second, I am good at analysis and reasoning. As for planning and strategic battles, that is Wan Hongzhuang's specialty. Every wise man is different. My role is more of a breaker of situations, not a planner."
"Is it so hard for you to let me show off?"
"This is someone else's plan. What does it have to do with you?"
"This is the mission I assigned."
"What kind of hell-level difficulty is this? With Wan Lei's strength, he could have saved Selena even if he charged straight in. It's just that this little girl played a smart game, making the plot more stunning."
"Then what mission should I arrange for him now?"
"Just do as she said and have them find the contact."
"What kind of hell-level mission is that?"
"No,"
The black-robed youth revealed a sinister smile that sent chills down one's spine.
"This mission, as they go on, they will soon encounter a truly difficult mission.
And then, the hell-level difficulty, when it appears unexpectedly, is the most stunning.
You must know that the most difficult mission is never about fighting and killing, but..."
"Humanity."
"Third mission: Lead Selena to find the contact and hand over the core hub to the contact."
"Yay, see, I guessed right. That's what the mission is."
At this moment, the light of wisdom in Fang Xiaoyu's eyes disappeared, replaced by the嬌憨(jiāohān - charming naivety) of a little girl as she acted coquettishly with Wan Lei.
"Of course, of course, my wife is the best."
Wan Lei lovingly rubbed Fang Xiaoyu's little head and kissed her.
"This immortal is really something. We've completed two missions, and he hasn't said anything about giving us some rewards."
"Alright, the harder the mission, the better the reward will be. There's a reward for every effort. Let's go quickly."
"Selena, where is the contact?"
"To the south."
"Let's go."
"Have you thought about what reward to give?"
"This is my secret realm. I've definitely thought about what the ultimate reward should be. It depends on how much he can comprehend."
"Give them some ordinary rewards too. We can't easily pass on our Dao techniques to others.
Didn't Xisha create a new divine ability two years ago? Give it to them."
"Wait until this set of missions is done."
"Okay."
"These two probably don't know that there are two Immortal Reverends watching them do the mission. Last time in the Mu Xian Secret Realm, Little She She was also observing them. If they knew, they would probably faint from honor."
"No, they would definitely ask, 'What is an Immortal Reverend?'
After all, in their minds, they still think that Saints are the strongest. But it is indeed true that the highest realm for cultivators is the Saint. We... can no longer be considered humans."
"Hahahaha..."
"Also, can you not use the term 'Little She She'? It's a little disgusting."
"I want to. You can't control me. She's originally our group's favorite."
……
Wan Lei carried Selena on his back, and Fang Xiaoyu followed beside him. The three of them sped south. Because Fang Xiaoyu flew slowly, and Wan Lei couldn't fly fast with two people, it took them more than an hour to reach a ruined town.
Under the night, the town was desolate, silent, and quiet. Only some broken glass shimmered with an eerie light under the moonlight.
"Go forward, there's a small house in the southwest corner."
"These are all small houses."
"I know where it is."
The three walked towards the southwest direction. Before long, they stopped in front of a small house that was still relatively well-preserved.
"This used to be a gathering place for criminals, but greedy good people did not let them go. They were all captured and turned into slaves."
Wan Lei didn't listen to what Selena said but keenly observed his surroundings. Suddenly, his expression changed.
"Someone!"
Boom!!!
A force of sin attacked Wan Lei. Wan Lei stretched out his palm to block it, shattering the force of sin while also taking a few steps back.
The opponent was not weak.
At this moment, more than a dozen ghostly black figures appeared in the surrounding ruins.
The night was the best disguise. The black aura on their bodies was difficult to see in the dark without careful observation.
"Tanya, don't attack! It's me, Selena."
Tanya, on Wan Lei's back, anxiously shouted at the masked leader in black.
"Selena, we really trusted you wrongly. You actually surrendered to those good dogs and brought good people to our base!"
The leading woman shouted angrily.
"No, they are partners. They are the ones who rescued me..."
"Still quibbling? What's with that good person beside you?"
She was naturally referring to Fang Xiaoyu.
In the dark night, the pure aura on Fang Xiaoyu's body was particularly conspicuous, like a lamp.
"This is my wife. Do you have any objections?"
Wan Lei's tone was very cold.
