Chapter 1062

Yellow Heaven City is already situated just before the highest battlefield, so the journey by ship to Xuanling Pass is just over an hour!

By the time they arrived at Xuanling Pass, Qin Qi had finally seen the entirety of Xuanling Pass clearly.

This Xuanling Pass leads directly to the rear of the human battlefield, sprawls over dozens of kilometers, and has a total of twelve forks, each of which is a necessary route to the battlefield.

And at this moment, a considerable number of people have already gathered above Xuanling Pass.

Counting, there are shockingly over two hundred people.

The arrival of Gao Yang and Qin Qi did not stir much in this crowd.

And as time passed, the number of people increased.

Finally, the appearance of a figure drew everyone’s attention.

"It’s Luo Mengyi!"

"Luo Mengyi actually joined the task at Xuanling Pass this time!"

"If only we could be assigned to the same fork as Luo Mengyi later. With Luo Mengyi’s strength, this fork would definitely be very safe!"

"Nonsense, Luo Mengyi is a talented student of the Xuan Yi Sect, not only with excellent talents but also with strength beyond comparison!"

Everyone started discussing fervently.

Qin Qi couldn’t help but look towards the newcomer, only to see in the sky, a young woman in a long blue dress standing gracefully with her hair flying.

Her brows and eyes exuded a cold and distant demeanor.

On her forehead, there was a touch of red heart.

The most crucial aspect was her cultivation, which had already reached the Core Formation Stage.

However, Qin Qi’s attempt to probe into her sea of consciousness revealed no specific details about her cultivation.

Qin Qi couldn’t help but ask, "Captain Gao, this Luo Mengyi seems to be quite famous?"

Gao Yang, with his hands behind his back, seeing Qin Qi’s interest, smiled a bit, "Young friend Qin Qi, what, are you interested in this Luo Mengyi?"

"Yes!" Qin Qi nodded, not denying.

Gao Yang shook his head, "Then I advise you to put away such thoughts. Though your talent is already excellent, compared to Luo Mengyi, there is still quite a gap!"

"This Luo Mengyi is one of the twin prides of the Xuan Yi Sect, ranking fifth in the Northwest Region’s Celestial List. At the mere age of twenty-six, she’s cultivated to the Third Layer of Core Formation Stage!"

Upon hearing that Luo Mengyi belonged to the Xuan Yi Sect and had reached the Third Layer of Core Formation Stage, Qin Qi’s eyes gradually narrowed to slits.

"Someone from the Xuan Yi Sect!"

His thoughts gradually became more sinister and fearsome; he hadn’t expected to meet someone from the Xuan Yi Sect at the highest battlefield!

One must know, he and the Xuan Yi Sect have a deep blood feud.

However, he was not in a hurry, instead asking, "Just the Third Layer of Core Formation Stage, and only ranked fifth in the Celestial List? Moreover, does the Xuan Yi Sect have another prodigy?"

Gao Yang clearly did not understand the relationship between Qin Qi and the Xuan Yi Sect, explaining truthfully, "The other prodigy of the Xuan Yi Sect, however, is even more powerful than this Luo Mengyi!"

"His name is Zhao Beiyi, ranked second in the Northwest Region’s Celestial List, and his cultivation has reached the Fourth Layer of Core Formation Stage, which is more outstanding than Luo Mengyi! Moreover, it is said that Luo Mengyi and Zhao Beiyi are companions!"

"Speaking of, I heard that Zhao Beiyi has also come to the highest battlefield. However, it seems he did not take on the task of guarding Xuanling Pass like Luo Mengyi!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi had already become somewhat thoughtful.

And just as he was in his thoughts.

About four to five hundred people have gathered in front of Xuanling Pass.

Most of these four to five hundred people are at Foundation Establishment Stage, while the number of cultivators at Core Formation Stage remained about thirty!

At this moment, an elderly voice appeared from above, "It seems, everyone is almost here!"

Everyone looked towards the sound, only to find that somehow, one more person was in the sky.

This person was bald, dressed like a monk, and looked kindly and friendly, appearing to pose no threat.

Yet, everyone who saw him bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Wu Xiu!"

He was undoubtedly a powerful figure at the Nascent Soul Stage!

Monk Wu Xiu surveyed the crowd, slowly saying, "Everyone, this time, I will accompany you to guard Xuanling Pass. The task process of Xuanling Pass, I believe everyone should understand. But nevertheless, I will say a few more words here!"

"In this assault on Evil Demons, the significance of Xuanling Pass is vital, and absolutely cannot fall. Therefore, the defense of each fork is crucial!"

"Once a fork falls, it means Evil Demons will ambush from behind. Should such a situation occur, it undoubtedly determines the victory or defeat of the general battlefield! Hence, even if you meet your demise here, you must defend your fork!"

"If I find anyone negligent or not doing their best, letting Evil Demons out from the fork, even if they survive the task, I will not spare them!"

Hearing Monk Wu Xiu’s words that hinted at threats, everyone took a deep breath.

It was not hard to judge, though this top-tier task offered rich rewards, the risk was extremely high.

But outwardly, everyone promptly expressed their stance.

"Please rest assured, Senior Wu Xiu, we will fight to the death without negligence!"

Monk Wu Xiu said coldly, "Hope you truly will. Now, for the task execution, a total of twenty-four teams have been arranged from each city!"

"There are a total of twelve forks, each defended by two teams. When you took on the task, you knew which fork you would guard!"

"With the great battle imminent, everyone, go to your guarded fork and prepare early!"

Upon hearing this, each team quickly set off, heading to their designated forks to guard.

Gao Yang did the same, leading Qin Qi and others all the way to the fourth fork!

Once they arrived, everyone exchanged glances.

"Captain Gao, who do you think will be leading the team that guards the fourth fork with us?"

Gao Yang shook his head, "That I don’t know. However, I hope the coming team is strong enough. We can’t manage the other forks, only hope ours doesn’t encounter any mishaps!"

As everyone was discussing!

Suddenly, a bright and delightful figure leading over twenty people came into everyone’s view.

Upon seeing the leader, everyone’s face showed expressions of surprise.

Because the newcomer, was none other than the person everyone had just been discussing, Luo Mengyi!

"It’s Fairy Luo!"

"It’s actually Fairy Luo teaming with us?"

Gao Yang moved quickly to the front of Luo Mengyi, "Fairy Luo, is it you teaming with us to defend the fourth fork?"

Luo Mengyi’s icy face showed no ripples, only lightly responding with a sound.

Then, her eyes scanned over Gao Yang’s team.

She chuckled, "Why is your team full of these misfits?"
