Chapter 904: Another Move

ords as in his past life, and his gaze held no particular significance, even a hint of coldness.His heart ached a little, and he also soberly realized that if the headmaster hadn't spoken up, the othe...After hearing Shishi's explanation, Lian Yi pondered thoughtfully.

"So I became your focus training target. The things acting in secret against me are trying to stop me from becoming a special tasker."

“You are absolutely right! As special task agents, they not only need strength but also courage, a broad mind, profound merits, and excellent character. You have already shown these qualities in their nascent stages, so your future is bright.”

As long as you successfully complete the sixty tasks you originally signed up for, then after you return to your world and reverse the dire situation, you will be able to ascend smoothly, and your path afterward will become easier and easier.

The millstone urged Ripple to hurry and paint a big picture.

The ripples indicated that the cake was quite large and far away from her. Since she couldn't reach it for now, she lost interest in asking further questions and immediately changed the subject:

Where is Du Le now

She was rescued.

"Wasn't that the demon cultivator again"

Ripple raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No, it's a cultivator from Yúnxiān Sect."

It seems like she's having good luck.

After a flicker in her eyes, ripples spoke.

"Is she still in the Yonghe Mountains Should we chase her"

Just give me a direction, I'll keep an eye on her and see what's so strange about her.

Ripple felt that Du Le would definitely not let it go. Besides, the fact that she had saved the opponent from her father's hands before and that the other party was a demonic cultivator made her feel that Du Le had something to hide. So, before she figured things out, she planned to follow him and observe him secretly.

The ripples only circled the middle of Yonghe Mountain Range, they didn't enter the inner perimeter. It is said that there are demonic beasts equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage there. She felt her current strength was insufficient, so she wouldn't overexert herself.

It took five days, but Ripples finally found Du's whereabouts. It turned out that the other party had infiltrated a task squad of Yunxian Sect.

This squad only had three people. She was saved by a male cultivator named Yang He, while the other two teammates were her sister, Yang Zhen, and his friend, Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao and Yang Zhen both disapproved of bringing Du Li along, after all, the other party was unfamiliar with them. Only Yang He insisted on taking her.

After Du Li woke up, she heard the argument of three people. Her eyes flashed, and she immediately looked at the top of their heads. She saw a mixture of orange and green aura, slightly inferior to that of Miao Lan, but now she had no choice.

Immediately, she pretended to wake up and looked at the three of them guardedly. After learning the truth from Yang He, she immediately bowed and thanked them, and took out the golden-red bee honey she had collected as a gift for the three.

"Thank you, three fellow cultivators from Yunxian Sect, for your rescue. I am an inner disciple of WuYun Sect. I was on a team with others to gather Jinchi honey when we alarmed the Jinchi bees. We dispersed and fled, but a female cultivator traveling with me secretly attacked me. I crushed a random transmission talisman, and by sheer luck, I escaped."

Du Le Le's words are true and false, when she was rescued, there were indeed golden red bee stingers on her body, and the severed wrist Qi Qi had also proved that she had been attacked. Most importantly, the other party showed sincerity and offered golden red honey as a gift. Yang Zhen and Chu Xiao couldn't really object anymore.

Du Li looked at the three people, seeing that they didn't intend to drive her away or scheme against her. She immediately set up a barrier for healing, swallowing a Life-Nurturing Bone Rejuvenation Pill. As she watched her right hand grow back, she let out a sigh of relief. However, the hatred towards Yi Lian in her heart deepened.

"Don't let me meet you again, or I will take all your good fortune!"

After Du Lu healed from her injuries, she formed a temporary squad with three others and began training in the Yonghe Mountain Range. As time passed, she grew closer to Yang He.

One day, when four people were fighting a level three blue peacock, Du Le found an opportunity and intercepted the blue peacock's sharp claw attack for Yang He. Yang He was heartbroken and used a talisman to deal with this level three blue peacock.

The Blue Peacock didn't want to provide its beast core and feathers for repairs, and was being pressured by the beast souls within the talismans. Enraged, it directly detonated its inner dantian, refusing to leave even a single feather behind.

Du Led had just seized the opportunity. He pulled Yang He, crushed the random teleportation talisman in his hand, and saved both of them. Yang Zhen and Chu Xiao were a little unlucky, they were thrown far away by the power of the self-exploding inner pill. Fortunately, the two of them had enough defenses, so although they were seriously injured, they managed to save their lives.

After Yang He was rescued by Du LeLe, he hurriedly rushed back. He wanted to save his sister and friend, but Du LeLe's face was pale as she said:

"Big Brother Yang, it's not that I don't want to save your sister and Daoist Chu. But right now, both of us are injured. And the teleportation talisman I crushed was a random one. If we travel at night with injuries, we might encounter powerful monsters or cultivators. Not only would we be unable to save them, but we might even lose our own lives."

Yang He, hearing Du Li's words and seeing her pale face, realized that he had been too hasty. The other party had just shielded him from the attack, and coupled with the power of the demon beast's self-exploding inner core, she must be weaker than him now.

"Daoist Du, I apologize for the oversight. Let's rest for a night and set off again tomorrow morning. If your injuries haven't healed by then, you stay put and wait. I'll come back to find you after I locate my sister and Junior Brother Chu."

This time, Du didn't object. She had decided that when Yang He was most trusting of her, she would steal his luck.

So she immediately found an abandoned cave, took out a three-tiered array disk, and said to Yang He:

"Big Brother Yang, this formation disk was prepared for me by the elders of my clan. Only my blood can activate it. If you want to freely enter and exit this protective array, you must pledge allegiance like me, dripping blood to sign a temporary contract."

"This isn't good, is it"

Yang He hesitated, that black and ancient formation looked anything but ordinary.

"Big Brother Yang, you are my savior. When I first woke up, I heard your three arguing, so please don't feel guilty. If it were just the other two, I wouldn't have taken out this formation disk. I hope you understand."

Du Li said sincerely.

Yang He had a moment of awkwardness. After all, his sister and Chu Xiao both disapproved of saving people, but Du LeLe was still kind to the other two. Now, she had taken out such a precious life-saving card for him, he couldn't refuse. So, following Du LeLe's instructions, he temporarily established a bond with the formation disk.

"I have already sensed the connection with the spirit board."

Yang smiled and said.

"That's good, then. If my injuries can't recover by tomorrow, Brother Yang will have to journey alone. After you find the two of them, you can use this contract formation array to reunite with me again."

Du Le smiled and said.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Du."

Yang He was truly happy, and Du LeLe was also truly happy. As long as they were within this formation, she could secretly and stealthily take the other person's fortune.

That night, both of them sat cross-legged under the protection of the formation, recovering from their injuries. As for the formation itself, it was subtly activated, and the orange-green aura belonging to Yang He was gradually flowing towards Du Li.

"Ripples, I have discovered the secret of Du!"to another set of clothes."Wen Zhaoyue, upon hearing that she too would be meeting Lian Yi's elders, immediately turned around and ran back to her room, also requesting a change of clothes.An hour lat...
