Chapter 1593: Chapter 653: Five Representative Teams

After Lady Dan Yu and the Wanxiang City Lord successively left, Ye Lingyue informed the team members of the situation.

She also told everyone about the origins of the Senluo Ghost King Fruit.

"This mission is extraordinary. To lure the Demon Clan’s covetous eyes, we cannot bring too many troops. The City Lord requires each group to send only ten team members, and some of you will have to stay behind. But rest assured, once the mission is completed, if we can stay at the Jiu Provinces Base Camp, I’ll find a way to bring the remaining team members over."

Ye Lingyue glanced around at each present team member, especially those who initially joined the representative team with her.

"Team Leader, I’m not strong enough. I should stay behind."

Gong Linxin was the first to speak up. Although she longed for the Jiu Provinces Base Camp, her foundation was weak; if she continued, she feared she would hold everyone back.

"If Linxin stays behind, I naturally need to stay to protect her. As important as the Jiu Provinces Base Camp is, it’s not as important as my own wife."

The boy Situ remarked carelessly, making Gong Linxin give him a light scolding.

Next, Lan Feng also requested to stay.

The demon beasts near Senluo Wanxiang City were also formidable. They all wished to stay behind, hone their skills for a while, and then seek an opportunity to go to the Jiu Provinces Base Camp.

"Where Ling Yue is, that’s where I’ll be. Don’t think you can ditch me."

Guangzi shouted.

"Ling Yue, I, I also want to go. I promise I won’t be a burden to everybody."

Ye Liuyun, who had just recovered from a severe illness, timidly looked at everyone.

The Senluo Ghost Fruit King was discovered by her. Although Ye Liuyun’s strength was still lacking, it was only right to bring her along both emotionally and logically.

Besides, Ye Lingyue also knew that Ye Liuyun’s trip to the Jiu Provinces Base Camp also had the purpose of seeking revenge against Chen Mu and Yue Mei.

"I also want to go."

That boy Huang Jun, looking at Ye Liuyun, showed a suspicious blush and volunteered.

"Ling Yue, I also have to go."

Senior Sister Wan Yun was also determined to go to the Jiu Provinces Base Camp. Only by entering there could she have a chance to find the location of the Taixu Tomb Realm confirmed on the Beast Skin Paper.

The final list was determined after some discussion.

Those heading to the Jiu Provinces Base Camp were Ye Lingyue, Bo Qing, Senior Sister Wan Yun, Huang Jun, Ye Liuyun, Qin Xiaochuan, Guangzi, Tang Tiansong, Little Wuya, and Little Zhiyo.

"Since the list has been confirmed, tomorrow morning, I’ll report to the City Lord’s Mansion. Everyone going to participate should make sure to put extra effort into their cultivation during these few days in Wanxiang City."

After Ye Lingyue repeatedly urged them, the group dispersed.

Early the next morning, Ye Lingyue brought Tang Tiansong and Bo Qing with her to report to the City Lord’s Mansion as agreed.

It was only a day since the last time at the City Lord’s Mansion, yet this time Ye Lingyue entered through the main entrance.

The servants of the City Lord’s Mansion led Ye Lingyue to the reception hall.

In the reception hall, a few people were already waiting.

Among the four sitting there, Ye Lingyue recognized a few: the Third Young Master Jin, Tang Tianqi from the Tang Family, a young man with a gentle appearance, and a middle-aged woman.

These four were the team leaders responsible for the escort task of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King from the other four representative teams.

The Jin Family, Tang Family, the Jade Fox, and the Changsheng Representative Team.

Standing behind each team leader were two of their team members.

Behind the Third Young Master Jin stood Xi Jiuye and Hong Mingyue, behind Tang Tianqi were an elder of Great Divine Power Realm and a young woman, while the remaining two representative teams also had their main force standing behind.

When the members of the other four representative teams saw Ye Lingyue bringing people in, they showed looks of surprise.

Xi Jiuye also saw Ye Lingyue, his gaze shifted, unsure whether he was pleased or angry.

On the face of Hong Mingyue, which closely resembled Ye Lingyue’s, appeared an expression of annoyance.

Why is Ye Lingyue also here?

As for the other three representative teams, Tang Tianqi couldn’t hold her temper. Upon seeing Ye Lingyue and Tang Tiansong, she jumped up.

"Why are you here?"

"Miss Tang, this is the City Lord’s Mansion. If you can be here, naturally, we can be here too."

Ye Lingyue replied nonchalantly.

"We’re here to take part in a special task mission. Don’t tell me that the Huangquan Team is here for a mission too. Based solely on you, a Fourth-tier Representative Team that’s only been in Wanxiang City for a few days, what qualifications do you have to take part in a City Lord’s mission."

Tang Tianqi spoke disdainfully.

"Are they really just a Fourth-tier Representative Team?"

The people from the Jade Fox and Changsheng Representative Teams began to discuss.

In fact, the four representative teams present were all the top-leading teams from the Third-tier in Senluo Wanxiang City.

There were also other Third-tier teams that wanted to participate in this City Lord’s mission earlier, but they were firmly rejected by the City Lord’s Mansion.

They could hardly believe this last slot went to a Fourth-tier team, and that the other party had only been in Wanxiang City for a few days.

For a moment, the other two team leaders displayed scornful expressions.

It was obvious that they all believed the Huangquan Team got this opportunity through some disgraceful means.

"Whether or not we qualify is not up to you to decide. At least, I know the content of this City Lord’s task. May I ask, Miss Tang, do you know?"

Ye Lingyue maintained her calm expression and found a seat for herself.

Tang Tianqi was speechless, as she didn’t actually know what the City Lord’s task was.

This opportunity came because the Tang Family Patriarch and the Wanxiang City Lord were old acquaintances. The Tang Family Patriarch personally wrote to the Wanxiang City Lord, who considered that her team had experts of Great Divine Ability Level to escort them, reluctantly agreed.

But the City Lord said that for confidentiality, the specific content of the task would be announced once all five representative teams had gathered.

"Impossible, how could you possibly know the content of the City Lord’s task in advance? You ugly monster, you have no right to sit here, get out of here."

Tang Tianqi acted as if about to rush forward to pull Ye Lingyue out.

"Tang Tianqi!"

Tang Tiansong shouted, and a surge of Primordial Power from his body surged like waves.

Tang Tianqi was startled, and behind her, the Martial Artist of Great Divine Power Realm stepped in front of her.

Upon sensing the condensed Primordial Power from Tang Tiansong, the expert of Great Divine Power Realm had a serious expression.

"Tang Tiansong, have you reached the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm?"

"Peak of Small Divine Power Realm? This is impossible, how could you possibly be at the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm."

Tang Tianqi was crestfallen, unwilling to accept that the Tang Family outcast she had previously humiliated had actually reached the Peak of the Small Divine Power Realm, surpassing her as a direct descendant.

"Tang Tianqi, let me warn you, do not foolishly provoke our team leader, or else, regardless of you being a member of the Tang Family, I will not let it slide easily."

Tang Tiansong did not answer but stood in front of Ye Lingyue like a wall.
