Chapter 1733 - Private Meeting

Chapter 1733: Private Meeting

A group of people sat together in a small, private meeting room.

Lin Huang’s thoughts were flying as he sat on the couch. In reality, up until now, he had no idea what this bunch of people wanted to do exactly or why they included him.

“Liu Fu, introduce us.” He Nanzhi was the first to speak after everyone took their seats.

Liu Fu nodded and stood up. “Everyone should already know Old Wang and Old He.”

Including Lin Huang, all three of them nodded instantly.

“This is Qu Yu. We used to be in the same sect when we were in the great world. He’s considered my senior brother.” Liu Fu pointed at the man in the blue suit sitting on his right.

This person looked much younger than Liu Fu. He was in his early 20s and looked rather handsome.

He would be considered eye candy if he was on Earth.

Lin Huang could sense a sharp intent emanating faintly from his body. It was an aura that was exclusive to saber cultivators.

“I’m a saber cultivator.” Ferocious gleams of light exuded from Qu Yu’s fingertips. He introduced himself with that simple sentence.

“This is Zhou Ya. We’ve known each other since we were at heavenly god-level. We’ve explored many secret zones and ruins in the past,” Liu Fu said while pointing at the lady in the black dress sitting on Qu Yu’s right.

“Is it so hard to tell others that I’m your ex-girlfriend? We explored many secret zones and ruins in the past?! We’ve only entered a Lord’s ruins once, okay?” Zhou Ya rolled her eyes at Liu Fu angrily.

“Err…” Clearly, Liu Fu did not expect Zhou Ya to say that.

After criticizing Liu Fu, Zhou Ya stood up in a sporting manner and ignored Liu Fu. She introduced herself to the crowd.

“My name’s Zhou Ya. I major in skills of all elements, thought fire element is my area of expertise… Indeed, I’ve some grudges with this jerk from back then. However, don’t mind that. I’m very professional when it comes to missions.”

Liu Fu only spoke again after Zhou Ya was done and had taken her seat. He pointed at Lin Huang.

“This young man is Lin Huang. He’s a friend that I got to know earlier. He has stunning talent and potential. Even Old He praised him.”

Lin Huang nodded slightly at the couple of people.

“I major in Sword Dao. I’m also pretty good at some Divine Telekinesis techniques.”

Liu Fu only looked at Old He and Old Wang after the few of them had introduced themselves. “I’ll pass it over to the two of you now.”

“Old He, be our host.” Wang Xuanan leaned on a couch with his legs crossed. He did not plan to get up at all.

He Nanzhi did not reject him. He got down to business directly.

“Well, we gathered everyone here to invite you guys to enter a secret place as a team. This secret place is a mystic territory. It will probably open within three years.”

“As the mystic territory’s scale is rather large, there are some other organizations besides Royal who have received the news.

“On Royal’s side, Old Wang and I will be leading the minor dao-level powerhouses. Apart from you guys, we’ll invite other minor dao-level powerhouses from Royal as well. However, you guys will decide whether you want to join or not.”

“Apart from us, there will be people leading major dao-level and lord-level powerhouses. So if you guys have any major dao-level and lord-level friends, you can get them to join as well.”

“In principle, dao-level powerhouses can’t attack Lords during the exploration of the mystic territory, nor can major dao-level powerhouses attack minor dao-level powerhouses. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s completely safe. You guys will still run into minor dao-level opponents.”

“The risk is there, but the resources within the mystic territory should also be abundant. Therefore, you guys can decide whether you want to join or not. Just inform Liu Fu after you’ve made up your mind. He’ll inform us.”

“You can ask any questions that you might have now,” He Nanzhi added in the end.

“I’d like to ask, what’s a mystic territory?” Lin Huang was the first to raise his doubts.

In reality, he had learned much information about the universe from the inheritance fragments he obtained from the Nirvana Tree, including some information about mystic territories.

The reason why he asked that before everyone was because it was his first time in the universe.

He had to show them that it was his first time here.

Hearing that question, Zhou Ya and Qu Yu were puzzled when they looked at him.

Clearly, they thought it was rather strange that Lin Huang did not know what a mystic territory was.

“I’ve forgotten that it’s your first time in the universe.” Old He was stunned momentarily, after which he then explained patiently.

“The mystic territory is a phenomenon that occurs occasionally in the universe.”

“Usually, it’s a strange dimension that would appear out of nowhere. The dimension is covered in a layer of mist. If someone goes in while it’s misty, they will go missing, including major dao-level powerhouses.”

“Therefore, in order to explore the mystic territory, we have to wait for the mist to dissipate and for the mystic territory to be revealed completely.”

“Each mystic territory contains abundant resources, but also contains great danger. The weakest monster in the mystic territory is at lord-level, and the most powerful one might exceed dao-level.”

“Therefore, Lord is the lowest requirement to explore the mystic territory. Otherwise, it’d be akin to seeking death.”

In reality, Lin Huang knew that information.

However, he was still nodding his head continuously as he listened.

After giving a rough explanation on what a mystic territory was, Old He thought he would just reveal the information about the mystic territory they were entering this time.

“Judging by the scale and the energy fluctuations radiating from the mystic territory that was found this time, we roughly speculate that there are major dao-level monsters guarding it.”

“Therefore, we’re not the main force that’s entering this time, but rather the major dao-level powerhouses.”

“Our main mission is to gather resources, as well as kill any monsters that we can handle while we’re at it.”

“Naturally, apart from the mystic territory’s local monsters, the explorers from other organizations will be our enemies as well. They’re even more dangerous than the local monsters.”

Lin Huang was slightly moved as he listened to the information about the scale of the mystic territory this time.

Major dao-level powerhouses were supreme powerhouses who had consolidated over 100,000 Dao seals.

He learned from the inheritance memories he obtained from the Nirvana Trees that major dao-level powerhouses did not only suppress minor dao-level powerhouses in terms of the number of Dao seals. There would be a qualitative change when they had consolidated a certain number of Dao seals. That qualitative change would transform the particles in their body further.

In reality, one could say that major dao-level and minor dao-level powerhouses were life forms of two completely different levels.

Just like the transition his life form went through when he was elevated to minor dao-level. He could totally beat up tens of thousands of his old self right now. There would be a similar transition when he got to major dao-level.

Therefore, Lin Huang did not think that the current him had sufficient ability to fight an even battle with major dao-level powerhouses.

Although there were rules in the universe where major dao-level powerhouses could not attack minor dao-level powerhouses in the mystic territory, in the end, rules were just rules, and there were countless people who would be willing to break the rules given the right incentive.

As long as one did it flawlessly without anyone finding out.

No matter what, Lin Huang would not entrust his safety completely to an insignificant rule.

He was of the opinion that his ability was the only thing he could rely on to protect him.
