Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 284 - The Mission Details (II)

Ye Tian Yun was quite confused at the sudden inclusion of Peak Master Duan to be part of the mission.

When Xiao Ming had gone on the mission in the previous life, things were pretty easy for him, despite the fact that the enemies had the Core Formation Realm cultivator amongst them.

But this time, Sect Leader was going to add Peak Master Duan - this would definitely create a few variables in the coming future.

'Maybe this time, everyone will be able to reach the mission area at least?'

This was the one thing that Ye Tian Yun didn't care about before this instant - the Gracious Sword Sect would miserably fail this mission.

They would lose more than half of the core members, greatly affecting the sect's chances in the coming Grand Spirit Hunt.

This would all happen because they were going to be ambushed, and this ambush would be so unexpected that the disciples wouldn't even know what hit them.

The biggest loss for the sect would be none other than Jun Xie.

One of the disciples with the highest spirit sense, and he wouldn't even have a single body part remaining after this mission.

He would be declared dead, and the Gracious Sword Sect would release an intense search and kill operation - showing the world their full power for the first time since Sword Saint Yuan Xuming's ascent.

Unfortunately, by the time the sect found any answers, it would be too late, and Jun Xie will slowly be forgotten in the further losses that the sect would face.

However, Ye Tian Yun knew another side of this story - Jun Xie wouldn't die.

As a matter of fact, he would go into hiding.

Just like how Yuan Shuchun was in the sect for a purpose, Jun Xie, too, was here for a purpose.

It was just that both of their goals lie so far apart that Jun Xie's story never really mattered much, at least for now.

Jun Xie would then go on on his adventure and towards his main goal - finding his origins.

Ye Tian Yun knew very well the person Jun Xie was currently looking for - a few words from him and Jun Xie wouldn't have to get into as much trouble as he's destined to face.

However, Ye Tian Yun had no interest in that. Maybe in the future, Jun Xie might become a good ally. 

But to qualify as an ally, Jun Xie had first to grow a lot.

The real talents of this generation, God's Legion, haven't even stepped outside of their comfort zones yet.

This time was the best one to get a headstart because once those people come out, they will catch up to everyone in a blink.

For now, Ye Tian Yun only needed to give a slight push and help a bit at the right time, and Jun Xie would owe him a huge favor.

However, now, with the addition of Peak Master Duan, it would be harder for Ye Tian Yun to make Jun Xie owe him anything.

'If opportunity doesn't present itself, I will just create one for myself.'

He knew for sure that there was going to be an ambush.

The only thing he hoped, for now, was that the enemies knew about Peak Master Duan's presence.

Only then would they send someone powerful enough to hold back Peak Master Duan during the ambush, or else there would be a one-sided massacre.

Jun Xie won't get a chance to leave the Sect, Yuan Shuchun will remain unhurt, Xiao Ming won't assert himself to reveal the Token Of Fate - nothing interesting would happen if there isn't someone who can hold back Peak Master Duan.

"Seventh Peak Master Duan won't directly interfere in the mission, " Sect Leader's voice once again rang in Ye Tian Yun's ear.

He raised his head to find Sect Leader Su continued, "Even though he may not interfere, but if there's an emergency, he definitely will."

After a slight pause, he added, "Now I will tell you how you're going to proceed and what you need to do before you reach the position of the target."

"So, there are seven days before the target crosses the location." Sect Leader Su said.

"In these seven days, you not only need to get to the city - yeah, this will happen in a city - you also need to prepare for the ambush."

"Don't forget the fact that we don't know who our enemies are - except for the fact that they are actually in disguise - which is quite common sense.

"Though, there is indeed an important clue we have - they are in a group of seven."

"Sect Leader, can't there be other groups with seven cultivators? What if we end up ambushing the wrong people?" Jun Xie voiced his thoughts.

"Well, for that - you have Peak Master Duan with you. He will use an especially made array to sense the hidden Core Formation Realm cultivator."

"Now, a core formation cultivator is already very rare - add it to the fact that the opposite party is also in a group of seven - I don't think it will be hard for you to identify this group."

"Also, on a side note, the city in which all this will happen is not a big one, and the average cultivation realm is actually just tri-qi realms."

"So, finding a single Core Formation Realm should be quite hard."

All the disciples nodded in agreement.

A Core Formation Realm expert is equal to a Peak Master in one of the biggest sects of the kingdom; of course, it would be hard to find such a powerful cultivator in a random city.

"Sect Leader, what city are we talking about here? And which part of the kingdom will this operation take place?" 

It was Yuan Shuchun who had asked this question.

Sect Leader nodded his head at her, "I was about to get to this part."

"Well, all of you will be heading towards the ruins of the Yin Yang Sect. Just before the ruins, you will find a small city - Silver Mist City."
