Chapter 786 - 776: Taking Office
"Everyone get on, we aim to reach Red Fire Martial City in the shortest time possible!"
With Ye Zhen’s voice, ten martial artists of the Vein Forging Realm and about thirty martial artists of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, led by Zuo Xiong, stepped onto the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, whose body had been completely enlarged.
"Lord Ye, isn’t your demon servant way too small? I suggest we ride the Gold-Winged Demon Eagle assigned by the Divine Sect as a mount instead. That one is large enough and fast enough!"
The speaker was Yu Qianlou, an assistant assigned to Ye Zhen by Jian Qianxiong, a martial artist of the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm who had formerly served as a Branch Altar Master of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
Previously, Jian Qianxiong agreed to let Ye Zhen freely choose personnel. Unfortunately, Ye Zhen had been devoted to cultivation and had limited social connections within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, knowing few people and having few to call upon.
Originally, Ye Zhen intended to take Zuo Xiong and Qingyue with him; however, Jian Qianxiong allowed Zuo Xiong to leave, but Qingyue had to remain in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
Jian Qianxiong’s reason was straightforward, enough to make one angry: he said Ye Zhen could die in Red Fire Dead City, but his daughter absolutely could not.
Before the Sun and Moon Divine Sect falls, he would definitely send Qingyue to an extremely safe place.
But, thinking about it, it’s quite normal for Jian Qianxiong to say such things. What is wrong with a father selfishly considering his daughter’s well-being?
As for Ye Zhen, all he could do was strive desperately to protect Red Fire Martial City.
In the end, Ye Zhen simply had Jian Qianxiong recommend a few reliable, absolutely obedient martial artists to accompany him on his mission, and Yu Qianlou was one of them.
