The luxuriously dressed male Yao cultivator waved his feather fan and said indifferently,"Mount qingyao has been the resting place of our monster race since ancient times."
"The existence within is of the same race as us."
"Tracing back to the ancient times, they are all one family."
"I've already informed them of this matter."
"As long as you don't take the initiative to harm the demons, they won't attack you,"
The leader of the wandering cultivators looked hesitant. He exchanged a look with his companion and quickly asked, " "Since that's the case, why don't the seniors go themselves?"
Just as the luxuriously dressed male demon was about to Speak, Brother Jing, who was of the sea Race, suddenly said coldly, " "If we have to do everything by ourselves, why would the Empire arrange this test?"
"To tell you the truth, the dynasty feels that there are too many human officials in the court and intends to promote a group of demons to officials."
&Quot; this mission is for the Crown Prince to personally test us! &Quot;
"Under such circumstances, if we do everything by ourselves, what's the point of the assessment?"
&Quot; after all, the officials of the Empire don't care about their own strength. They care more about the people under His Majesty, how they adapt to the situation, and how they plan strategies ... &Quot;
Then, the male cultivator who was transformed from Xiong gang said, " "If you're unwilling, you can leave now."
"But don't mention the reward we agreed on before."
&Quot; this mission concerns our future. We can't be delayed by a bunch of overcautious cowards like you! &Quot;
The other demons came to their senses and responded, " "That's right!"
"That's right! I think we should just change to another batch ..."
"Who recruited the human race? How can you be so lacking in spirit ..."
"Seniors, please be wise. It's not that we don't dare to go, but we're worried that our cultivation isn't high enough and we'll ruin your plans ..."
"I'm willing to die for you, seniors!"
In this world, most of the cultivation resources were controlled by the nine great sects.
Itinerant cultivators like them had always been short of resources.
It was extremely difficult to get some breakthrough materials on normal days.
Such a big gold master's hand was simply hard to come by!
Therefore, even if this mission was really dangerous, there were still quite a number of people who were willing to seek wealth in danger for the sake of spiritual stones!
Moreover, although these demons were strange in shape, they were still from the colored avarice dynasty.
Dynasty was a righteous sect, and their methods were definitely not as cruel as those of the demonic sect. It was unlikely that they would do something like luring itinerant cultivators to their deaths.
Furthermore, it was a well-known fact that most of the officials in the Imperial court were humans ...
In a flash, all the wandering cultivators immediately found a reason to convince themselves to stay.
Seeing that these individual cultivators had become obedient, the demon cultivators nodded in satisfaction. They looked at each other and had a tacit understanding. They also hoped that nothing would happen to this mission and that they would get through it peacefully.
Even if he had to spend more spirit stones, it was still better than losing his life ...

The mountains were endless.
A flying shuttle pierced through the clouds and mist like a bolt of lightning.
In the flying shuttle, Zhongkui Jingyi was fiddling with a tea set, brewing a pot of fragrant spiritual tea. Opposite her sat Qiao ciguang, who was dressed in a luxurious robe and had a high bun on his head with a sword hairpin in his hair.
Qiao ciguang's face was filled with doubt as she looked at the slowly-filled cup of tea in front of her, " "Senior brother yueji's disappearance is of great importance. Why did the Empire only send a few demons to investigate?"
The final sunflower mirror Yi furrowed her brows and said, " "I don't know the exact reason. However, a few days ago, Chi ban, Chen Tun, and the other five Dao integration stage demon cultivators were suddenly killed along with their entire tribe."
"This matter seems to have caused quite a stir in the Imperial court."
"Although all the signs point to the demonic cultivators, there are still many discussions among the demons."
"Perhaps it's to appease the demon race, so father gave them this task."
"I'm taking the opportunity to reward you."
&Quot; but I'm worried about those undisciplined demons. That's why I'm going in person. &Quot;
&Quot; and nineteenth brother was worried about me coming here alone, so I'd like to trouble Senior Sister to accompany me. &Quot;
"It's fine," Qiao ciguang nodded slightly.
The place they were going to this time was very close to Mount qingyao.
The reason why the Empire sent the demons to investigate the clues, other than the balance of the temple mentioned by kuikui Jingyi, was most likely related to Green Mountain!
Mount qingyao was the last resting place of the demon race. To human cultivators, the higher their cultivation, the easier it was for something to happen, unless it was an existence at the level of the ancestral master ...
On the other hand, she and kuikui Jingyi were both nascent soul cultivators.
He didn't need to worry about this!
"Then let's increase our speed," Qiao ciguang said as he thought of this.
"We need to get there as soon as possible in case those demons mess things up."
"Alright!" Jing Yi nodded.
Then, she put down the teacup and cast a spell. Suddenly, the speed of the shuttle increased sharply and whizzed away!

White Grass town.
The sun was setting in the West.
Smoke rose from the town's kitchen, the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs, and the laughter of children reverberated in the only Street.
Outside the town, along the winding path down the mountain, the sound of grass and shrubs being stepped on could be heard from time to time. Three burly townspeople were working together to carry their prey.
A deer, a muntle, a roe deer, and a wild boar.
The blood in the wound had already solidified, but because of the vibration from the dragging, it left mottled marks on the soil and grass.
The smell of blood attracted a lot of mosquitoes and flies, buzzing and circling.
One of the hunters, who was wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt, had a surprisingly fair complexion. He looked like a free and pampered man from a noble family. At this moment, he casually picked up the handkerchief on his neck, wiped his sweat, and sighed."The prey this time is even more cunning than the last time."
"We set up several traps in advance before we managed to capture it."
"There are fewer and fewer wild beasts in the mountains!"
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to save much money ... Sigh, I don't know if I'll have the chance to send little ni to the Academy to learn two words."
The other Hunter was also dressed in simple clothes. There was a piece of animal skin wrapped around his chest. The animal skin was thick but old. The fur on it was somewhat tattered, as if it had been attacked by some ferocious beast.
He was tall and straight, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, giving people a feeling of heroic spirit. For some reason, although he only had an ordinary hunting knife at his waist, his temperament was more like that of a sword.
At this moment, he was dragging his prey towards the town below while comforting, " "It's more important for the child to go to school. If you and sister-in-law's money are not suitable, I'll borrow my share first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the third prey, who had a graceful and elegant temperament, wore a set of sewn and tattered cloth clothes. The straw sandals on his feet were already worn out, revealing more than one toe.
"Mine too!" He also said.
"How can we do that? you have to live your lives too ..." The Hunter in Brown said hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter. We don't have any children yet. Besides, even if we have children soon, we don't need to go to school," his two companions said.
"Naturally, I'll take care of little ni first."
"That's true ..."
As they spoke, the three of them finally dragged their prey down the mountain and walked towards the town not far away.
