“Junior Brother, have you heard of the Helian Iron Mountain?”
When the two of them climbed down the steps of this Book Hiding Building B, Hanfang’s expression turned solemn.
Zong Shou’s brows furrowed, Helian iron mountain? Has he heard this name from somewhere before?
A while later, he remembered that it was something he encountered when he came to the vast habitat. He heard that name in the Ability Proving and Qiushi Hall.
“I know a little, that place seems to be a mine vein occupied by The Central dynasty. I heard that the innocent civilians of Yan City Pass were in charge of mining it?”
Whilst he said that Zong Shou’s mind was quickly moving. Did what senior brother was saying have to do with this Helian Mountain?
In the next moment, Hanfang nodded his head, “That’s right! Junior Brother Zong is really well informed. However, do you know that the defending general of the Pass was an inner disciple of our common people path?”
When he said those words, Zong Shou was stunned. His first thought was that the common people’s path had really infiltrated the central dynasty really deeply. His second was that people from the sect really like to stage coups and rebel. Unfortunately, they failed and instead dragged down those 3 million innocent people.
His heart already knew that Hanfang had some thoughts regarding those 3 million people of Helian Mountain.
“Junior Brother, those innocent civilians were dragged down by a disciple of our sect. We can’t watch on and do nothing. Unfortunately, we tried to help several times but failed. We can only drag on and think of a way to improve their state. However, within these 20 years, it went from 4 million to 3 million people. Our common people’s path has sinned this time. This time we can only succeed…”
Hanfang laughed bitterly, his eyes filled with guilt, “Also one more thing, the current defending general of the Pass was also a common people path disciple, his name is Yuan Jiuchen. 20 years ago as he betrayed the sect he was favored by the Han King in the dynasty and promoted. I heard that this person is about to rise up once more.”
“Yuan Jiuchen?”
Zong Shou muttered. He seemed to have heard of this name before.
His heart shook as he remembered something that happened in the last life, in the god emperor game.
Thinking to himself that wasn’t this the first Super large scale team mission 12 years later?
At that time, the person was grade 8 and helping to defend a piece of land of The Central dynasty.
The common people path tried to kill the traitor and went against the many sects, paying a large price.
Based on the historical records, 7 ascended experts of common people path fell in that battle before they managed to kill Yuan Jiuchen.
It also directly resulted in the weakening of common people’s path’s power. Although it kept a portion of its power after the spiritual wave, it was still greatly reduced.
At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of players who joined this mission. After which they uploaded their own experiences and battle footage online exceitefly for everyone to view.
He had viewed those experts clashing to analyze sword techniques, but he didn’t gain much. As for the mission progression, he remembered it really clearly.
“So it means that the death of the Pass general that tried to rebel was due to this person? The sect wants him to die?”
“Yes!”
Hanfang nodded his head solemnly, “There’s only one thing you mentioned wrongly. Your few fellow sect disciples didn’t rebel. That person was a chess piece we placed to try to infiltrate the central dynasty army when the spirit wave begins. So why would he reveal his identity and start a rebellion st that time? The reason that they died was that Yuan Jiuchen betrayed them!”
When he said those words, his tone was already filled with killing intent, “Which is why we will not allow him to live so freely. This time, I will select the best young generation disciples to deal with this. The Helian iron mountain civilians are one thing, but Yuan Jiuchen is another. If both matters are completed, everyone who joins in can get 200 thousand merit points…”
Zong Shou couldn’t help but felt his heart tense up and say helplessly, “Senior Brother, am I included in the best young generation disciples you mentioned? Actually, if you want to kill him why not just directly Attack?”
“Junior Brother is smart, I want you to lead them to be in charge of this matter. The people I selected are talented by not experienced. Moreover, they are a little arrogant. Junior Brother please take care of them.”
Hanfang nodded his head before he gave out a self-mocking laugh, “It is not good for me to show myself. The 7th generation and above disciples of the sect also can’t interfere. However the many sects there naturally won’t send grade 8 and above experts to join this matter. As for the experts of the central dynasty, the sect will help you deal with them.”
Zong Shou’s face flushed green and white. This wasn’t a simple matter.
This sect assassination Mission should be something that happened in history.
The butterfly effect that he had caused when he came to this era shouldn’t be strong enough to affect this matter, and that matter was also destined to end in failure. If not, that matter wouldn’t have dragged to 12 years later.
Trying to kill Yuan Jiuchen made the sect suffer heavy losses. They even had a grade 8 expert fall.
What ability did he have to be able to manage to kill this Yuan Jiuchen?
After thinking for a while, Zong Shou took in a deep breath, “I heard that Yuan Jiuchen had broken through to the ascended realm? That central dynasty also wouldn’t sit still and do nothing. To join in one must at least have grade 7 strength. Your junior brother is only at peak Return to Sun realm…”
Halfway through his words, Hanfang smiled as he looked over, his gaze held deep meaning.
Zong Shou himself couldn’t continue anymore, others might not know but this Hanfang was definitely really clear about it.
The lightning winged flood dragon was one, and also Hanxi, along with those 6 flying ants they could be considered as 7 grade 7 beasts.
With such strength, he was stronger than normal grade 7 experts.
Even Long Ruo, before he lost his physical body and spiritual beast, was the same.
He could also tell that this was a test the common people path had for him.
Only in his heart, he was still a little hesitant. Whether or not he should join a sect mission…he was still unsure about it.
And that paltry 200 thousand merit points. What use was that?
In the next moment, Hanfang was expressionless as he added another chip, “I know that little brother might not care about that bit of merit points. But I can add one more benfit if you succeed. I can help you deduce your world shocking spirit art to the 8th layer! What does junior brother think?”
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up, his current physical body using the various spirit pills and power of the dragon essence, it has already trained to the peak of the martial ancestor realm. Only because of his cultivation, he was unable to make any further progress.
What he lacked now was the cultivation method of the later stages of the world shocking spiritual art. If Hanfang could help him complete it, then that would for the best.
Coincidentally he recently needed to make a trip out. And that place was only a thousand miles away from Yan City pass. He could just nice complete it together with this matter.
Thinking about it seriously, Zong Shou didn’t hesitate anymore, “Deal! However, you need to complete it to the 9th layer and the sect needs to provide me with a grade 9 spiritual artifact and help me craft something…”
Hanfang smiled, actually not bargaining and silently acknowledging.
Following which Zong Shou stood rooted to the ground and asked probingly,” However if this time I can only complete 1 of the 2 then how would I choose?”
When Hanfang heard that his pupils instantly constricted. Then, he continued to walk down the stairs, “If that is the case then save those Helian Iron mountain civilians! When Xi Zi created this common people path, it was to save the people and not drag them down. Since the Yan city matter was due to us, we have to save them. Those 3 million people have to be safe.
Zong Shou stood rooted to the ground, his eyes shining bright.
This was a real headache. Yuan Jiuchen was tough to deal with. However in his eyes, the Helian Iron Mountain matter was several hundreds times tougher.
He really took on a huge problem this time…

Pretty much at the same time, in a quiet room in the vast habitat, Li Zhe was extremely serious as he sat on a futon mat.
Opposite him sat a person, his face was square and slightly fat. However, the edges were distinct and gave off a sharp aura.
At this moment a long sword floated in front of him, continuously spinning in the air. Each moment this teen would smack a talisman into the body of the sword. He was really focused, not caring about Li Zhe.
After waiting for a long while, Li Zhe still couldn’t take it anymore and finally spoke up, “Senior brother Xie An, junior brother has been bullied. All my items have been taken are you not going to care? This person, with just grade 6 strength just occupied 1st Courtyard A. Can you bear this frustration? That Tanqiu is simply too arrogant! He doesn’t put our Xuanyang Sect in his eyes! Does senior brother really want to see the core disciple identity of the main sect fall into his hands?”
That Xie An still didn’t care. Then he placed more talismans into the sword body. The anger in the gaze of Li Zhe got thicker and thicker did his face turn cold as he said flatly, “People snatched your money. What does that got to do with me? Since he could defeat you in a breath, he does have the strength to occupy the 1st Courtyard A, and he has the right to be arrogant. With such a person in our sect, we should be happy. As for that main hall core disciple identity, I have my own plans, I don’t need you to say anything.”
Li Zhe instantly held his breath, following which he scoffed coldly, “Senior brother Xie An! Don’t forget that your teacher is my grandfather’s disciple. How can your line be so ungrateful? You don’t even care that people from the same sect get humiliated. To think you are the 1st seat of our Xuanyang Sect 4th generation. Even if it is not for me, you should think about the reputation of our sect…”
