Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Deacon Li hurried towards the Dao Academy with the mission token in hand.

It was already night, and only a few students remained at the Dao Academy; most had already left.

When Deacon Li found Deacon Zhuang, Deacon Zhuang was answering questions for a few students.

He waited for a moment, and those students, seeing that their teacher had a guest, didn't want to continue pestering him for knowledge.

Thinking they would come again tomorrow, they didn't want to continue taking up the teacher's time.

They bid farewell to Deacon Zhuang, nodded to Deacon Li as they turned, and left one after another.

"Old Li, what brings you here today?"

Deacon Zhuang was somewhat surprised, thinking that it must be something important.

Old Li rarely came to find him here, especially at this time of day.

"It's not just something, it's something big!"

Deacon Li's expression revealed a hint of undisguised excitement.

"What is it?"

Deacon Zhuang's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian had encountered some trouble that Old Li couldn't solve?

But that shouldn't be the case.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian were just handyman disciples, and no matter what they did in the Handyman Hall, Deacon Li and the others should be able to handle it.

The Inner Sect wouldn't pay attention to or interfere with matters of the Handyman Hall.

"Old Zhuang, I don't think it's convenient to talk here."

"Let's go to my place."

Deacon Zhuang looked around, and indeed, this wasn't a place to discuss important matters.

After all, although it was late, there were still others nearby, and it was difficult to guarantee that they wouldn't be overheard.

On the way, Deacon Li didn't speak, and Deacon Zhuang, seeing him like this, didn't say anything either, but he felt somewhat worried.

He secretly observed Deacon Li, noticing that his emotions were somewhat agitated, and although he was trying hard to restrain himself, it was still evident.

What on earth had happened to make him so uneasy?

Before long, Deacon Zhuang led Deacon Li back to his residence, a courtyard built on an independent mountain peak.

The environment here was excellent, the scenery pleasant, very quiet, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

In the courtyard was an ancient pine tree, with a green jade stone table beneath it.

"Old Li, sit down."

Deacon Zhuang招呼道, waved his hand in the void, and an invisible immortal enchantment was completed.

He took out tea sets, and while brewing tea, he said, "Now you don't have to worry about the walls having ears, what exactly happened, you can tell me.

Is it related to Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian?"

"I came precisely for their affairs!"

"What happened to them, are they alright?"

Deacon Zhuang's movements faltered, and a look of nervousness appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, they are fine now."

Seeing Deacon Zhuang's reaction, Deacon Li thought that Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian indeed held great weight in Old Zhuang's heart.

However, Old Zhuang seemed to have misunderstood something.

He seemed to think that Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian were in big trouble.

Thinking of this, Deacon Li couldn't help but laugh inwardly, pretending to sigh on the surface, "However, if Old Zhuang doesn't help them this time, then there will indeed be trouble, and they may even fall into eternal damnation!"

"Eternal damnation?"

Hearing these words, Deacon Zhuang's eyes immediately turned cold, he put down the tea set in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "Who dares to make them suffer eternal damnation?

Could it be that they have offended someone from the Elite Hall?

I have already heard about what happened a few days ago.

They just cleaned up a few privileged disciples.

The Yi family has some power in the Nine Dragon Imperial City, and also has family executives who hold management positions in my Jinyun Immortal Sect.

But as long as Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian don't run around, the Yi family's threat to him is not that great, and it's not about eternal damnation.

Could it be that something big happened today?"

"That's right, a huge thing happened at dusk today!"

Deacon Li looked solemn.

"Why are you being so mysterious? Since it's a huge matter, you should just say it directly, what are you wasting time for?"

Deacon Zhuang frowned, important things should be communicated clearly and quickly, what's wrong with this Old Li?

"This... I don't know how to tell you.

I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it..."

"What's wrong with you today, I've known you for so many years, I've never seen you so long-winded.

Are you deliberately trying to whet my appetite today?"

Deacon Zhuang was so angry that he reached out and snatched the teacup from Deacon Li's hand, "Stop drinking, what are you drinking for!"

"Old Zhuang, do you have to be like this?"

Deacon Li was dumbfounded, "You're getting angry with me like this?"

"Are you going to say it or not?"

Deacon Zhuang began to roll up his sleeves, with the urge to beat Deacon Li.

This guy, is he doing it on purpose?

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that you really won't believe me if I say it.

It's about Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian, they've done a few things these past two days that will shock you.

Once this matter spreads in the sect, the consequences will be disastrous, and it will inevitably push them into a desperate situation!"

Deacon Li's expression was extremely solemn.

"Are you going to say it!"

Deacon Zhuang glared at Deacon Li, "Old Li, I'm telling you, don't be chirping here!

Get to the point, stop talking nonsense!

Do you know what Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian mean?

They are not just people I value!

If something happens to them, you and I will have to bear monstrous anger!"

Deacon Li was startled.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian have someone with even higher status behind them, even Old Zhuang is afraid?

"You should see for yourself."

Deacon Li took out the mission token, his expression still solemn, but he laughed inwardly, wondering what Old Zhuang's expression would be like later?

"Your Handyman Hall's mission token?

You let them go to perform a sect mission?"

Deacon Zhuang's eyes turned cold, and anger rose in his heart.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian had just offended the Yi family, and they let them go to perform a mission, how dangerous it was, if something happened, who would be responsible, who could afford this responsibility?

However, Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian were temporarily fine, so he restrained his anger and decided to see what was going on first.

Old Li took out the mission token, could it be that the matter was on the mission being carried out?

He immediately picked up one of the tokens and probed a strand of divine sense into it.

The mission information in the token was fed back to his mind, and suddenly, his expression changed wonderfully.

His originally cold face suddenly froze, and then an unbelievable shock emerged, and then he stood there in a daze.

"Four... Four-star... Four-star difficulty mission!"

After a moment of shock, Deacon Zhuang came back to his senses and exclaimed, his face full of shock.

"This..."

He pointed to the token in his hand and looked at Deacon Li incredulously, "Old Li, are you sure this is Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian's mission token?"

"Old Zhuang, aren't you saying something redundant, there are their imprints in it, if it's not theirs, whose else could it be?

That's not right, didn't you bring Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian into the sect?

You should know their abilities better than I do.

Are you so shocked?"

"Am I so shocked!?"

Deacon Zhuang's lips trembled, and his face was a little red with excitement, and his breathing became rapid.

"Old Li, are you doing it on purpose?

I don't believe your reaction was any better than mine when you saw the information inside.

What are you pretending to be calm in front of me now?

This is a four-star difficulty mission, even the disciples of the Core Hall wouldn't dare to say they have a 100% chance of completing it!

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian, they are just handyman disciples who have just entered the sect!

It's unbelievable, simply heaven-defying!

Two three-star difficulty, one four-star difficulty!

I can't imagine how they did it.

You must know that three-star difficulty corresponds to the Eternal Realm to deal with, and four-star difficulty requires the Immortal Realm.

The road of cultivation, the gap between a big realm, is a natural chasm, a difference of hundreds of thousands of miles!"

"I asked, Yuan Chu said that they were lucky, they met that evil spirit, saw him use the magical artifact I lent them, recognized that they were from the Jinyun Immortal Sect, so he was scared away."

"Do you believe this?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

"Get out!"

Deacon Zhuang cursed directly.

He could see it, this Old Li was doing it on purpose today.

From the beginning, he was speaking ambiguously, deliberately making himself misunderstand.

He just wanted to see himself anxious.

Even now, he's still not serious.

This Old Li, how come he suddenly looks exactly like he did when he was young.

He doesn't remember how long it's been since Old Li has been so carefree.

"I'm not leaving, I'm sleeping here tonight.

How many years do you say we haven't slept together?

Back then, we practiced together, we went out to train together, and we were once flamboyant and high-spirited.

How passionate we were back then.

Time is really a ruthless knife, although it didn't make our bodies old, it made our hearts old.

I want to relive the feeling of those years."

"Get as far away from me as you can!"

Deacon Zhuang's facial muscles twitched, "It's just that we used to live in the same house when we were young, why does it sound like there's something special between us from your mouth?"

"What special relationship, where did you think of, why are your thoughts so unbearable?"

Deacon Li's eyes were somewhat鄙视.

"Go away, are you too excited today?"

Deacon Zhuang felt that this guy was completely different from usual today, as if he had returned to his teenage years.

Back then, that was exactly how he was, always glib and nonchalant, never serious.

Deacon Zhuang put down the token in his hand and picked up the second one.

When his divine sense probed into it and he received the feedback, his body shook violently, his eyes widened, and the token in his hand clattered onto the table.

At this moment, Deacon Zhuang’s reaction was the same as Deacon Li’s had been initially, and he stood up abruptly.

His expression was dull, and the shock in his heart was beyond description, to the point that his body couldn't stop trembling.

His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Outrageous! Heaven-defying!"

After a good while, he uttered these four words, taking several deep breaths.

Immediately afterward, that dull and shocked expression transformed into one of wild joy.

"Hahaha!"

Deacon Zhuang laughed loudly, extremely excited.

"Good, they not only didn't disappoint us, but instead gave us a surprise that we wouldn't even dare to dream of!"

Deacon Zhuang slowly clenched his hands, the joy and excitement on his face overflowing, unable to be restrained no matter what.

"I must inform Protector Zhou of this matter; I'll go now, immediately tell Protector Zhou!"

He released his hands, rubbing his palms together, his face splitting into a smile.
