A life of clearness

Chapter 497 Widespread News
The preparations made by the Red Robe Commander were extremely comprehensive.

It seems... Guang Wen, who had been standing below and remained silent, sarcastically said... it was not simply to let the thirteen of them be cannon fodder.

However, what were the criteria for selecting these thirteen people? Guang Wen was very unfamiliar with the twelve red-robed inspectors who were about to travel with him, and he probably had never seen them before.

It stands to reason that it would be a fantasy to let them form a team capable of challenging the difficult secret realm in a short period of time. But it is impossible for the top leaders of the Hades to fail to think of such a simple truth.

In other words, all thirteen of them must possess certain qualities that can ensure the smooth progress of this mission.

Guang Wen suppressed his doubts and listened to the red-robed leader's final question: "Do you have any other questions?"

It really was red raining from the sky. The arrogant and unapproachable red-robed commander actually allowed them to ask questions.

The red-robed inspector who was good at scheming before asked cautiously: "If we succeed in finding the secret of these Hundred Thousand Mountains, how should the credit be calculated...?"

"If you can successfully find it, your team will be considered to have made a great contribution, and everyone will be promoted to the next rank and rewarded with 10 billion merits."

Not only the red-robed inspector who asked the question, but the other twelve people including Guangwen couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

Official positions in the underworld are not linked to one's level of cultivation, which means that some members of the underworld who are quickly promoted through special means can enjoy status and treatment that is higher than their level.

All thirteen of them are fifth-rank judges, and are still a long way from becoming fourth-rank judges. They originally planned to accumulate merits by accumulating military merits, but now it's like pie in the sky. Once they successfully complete the task, they will be directly promoted to the first rank, saving hundreds of thousands of years of hard work!
By then, they will be able to enjoy the status and treatment of a powerful person in the Decline Tribulation Realm at the level of the Void Realm. Such a future is really too wonderful.

Guang Wen was moved and at the same time, he could not help but feel a little alert. I think the other twelve people were also like this, so they all calmed down after breathing rapidly.

The quiet room was extremely quiet at this moment.

"Humph, do you understand the danger of this mission?" The red-robed commander smiled coldly.

Guangwen smiled bitterly in his heart: I understand, but does he have the right to refuse?

"I will definitely do my best."

The thirteen red-robed inspectors bowed and spoke in unison.

The red-robed commander was slightly satisfied. He glanced at the group of people and disappeared immediately.

……

Thirteen red-robed inspectors filed out of the quiet room.

The red-robed inspector who had been the only one to speak was the first to speak: "My fellow Taoists, since we will be carrying out a mission together soon, let's exchange names first. My name is He Guzi."

It’s actually a monkey puppet?

Guang Wen originally thought that this person was just short. Unexpectedly, it was not because of his stature, but his race that determined his height. In fact, He Guzi was considered extremely tall among the monkey puppets.

He Guzi was wearing a mask and a wide cloak covering his entire body, which played a significant role in concealing himself.

The other twelve people reported their Taoist names one after another.

He Guzi added: "Although this mission is quite urgent, I think you haven't had enough time to prepare properly. How about this, we will gather at the Wheel Tree tomorrow, and after we are all together, we will set off for Qinghang Realm. As for how to sneak in safely, we will discuss it on the way."

"Okay." Guangwen nodded.

Since this monkey puppet jumped out and wanted to be the leader of this temporary team, let it be the leader. This will be a good opportunity to see what its capabilities are.

Guangwen still had great doubts about the existence of this team and naturally did not want to be the first to take action.

The others also nodded in agreement. This position of Captain He Guzi was decided to some extent.

……

After saying goodbye to the others, Guangwen returned to his official room alone to deal with the accumulated matters. Whether in the real world of the underworld or the virtual world, the official room assigned to the fifth-rank judge was very spacious, and the specifications were different from the official room of Rong Qing's current seventh-rank underworld official. Guangwen in the real world of Xuanfeng Mansion raised his head from the table and pinched his nose bridge with his fingers.

"It's really a headache..." He sighed and then waved his sleeves. He didn't plan to go to the wheel tree to wait early, but instead went to an inconspicuous small building in Xuanfeng Mansion.

Xuanfeng Mansion uses the Wheel Tree as the boundary to divide the market and the residential area into two areas. The residential area requires members of the Underworld to spend a lot of merit to buy, even if it is just an ordinary three-story building.

As for larger courtyards, there are of course some, but the prices are so high that even Guangwen is reluctant to buy them.

If you have that merit, wouldn’t it be great to buy more powerful magic weapons?
But even though Guangwen complained, he knew that, in the final analysis, he was not strong enough. His cultivation in the Void Realm seemed good, but in the Xuanfeng Mansion which was full of talented people, he could only be a middle-level person.

"It's not like you to linger at the door for a long time."

The window on the third floor was pushed open. The beautiful lady in green clothes was seen leaning lazily, looking down at the tall red-robed inspector downstairs.

There was suddenly a hint of ambiguity in the night.

"Come in now." After saying that, the beautiful lady in green closed the window, leaving only her graceful figure reflected in the candlelight on the window paper.

Guangwen shook his head helplessly, knowing that this woman was just like that.

The noise in front of the door of the small building naturally attracted the attention of other residents, but they were no longer surprised.

This beautiful lady in green clothes is a well-known woman in this neighborhood. However, her reputation is not very good.

Because this woman was confident that she had a sharp eye, she would often approach people she thought were worth getting to know. However, her cultivation was mediocre, and her beauty alone could not attract high-level cultivators to get to know her. Some people who were interested in her were even more happy to see her get turned away, which had happened before.

But after several years of accumulation, he finally made friends with some underworld officials and even judges.

Now seeing a red-robed inspector entering her small building, some people became even more angry, trying their best to act disdainful in order to hide the jealousy in their hearts.

No matter what others thought, Guangwen, who entered the building, hid his mask and revealed his real face.

If Rong Qing saw him, she would be surprised that his face was extremely similar to Yan Wuji.

"What happened?" Liu Qiancui asked straight to the point: "Nothing, you won't come here rashly."

Yan Guangwen took a deep breath and said, "There is an important matter. I want to go to Qinghang Realm and will not be able to come back in a short time. You... take care of yourself. If you encounter difficulties that you cannot solve, you can take shelter in my official room for a while."

“It’s so serious…” Liu Qiancui frowned slightly: “You are at the Void Realm, and you are very close to the Decline.”

Yan Guangwen smiled bitterly: "The cultivation level of the Void Realm is not considered a big deal in the Xuanfeng Mansion. This trip will be very dangerous."

"You're still going despite the danger? Are you going to look for treasure in the secret realm? It's true that money can make people's hearts flutter." She joked.

"Don't ask any more questions." Yan Guangwen shook his head: "I can't say anything else. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving first."

"I'll take you there." Liu Qiancui stood up.

"Stop." He raised his hand and made a fake press, then left the building without looking back.

After Yan Guangwen left, Liu Qiancui's smiling face slowly darkened and her thoughts raced.

She and Yan Guangwen had a tacit understanding. When she mentioned the secret treasure hunt, Yan Guangwen immediately stopped her from talking, which was a hint that her trip was related to the secret realm of Qinghang Realm. As for other things, they didn't dare to say more in Xuanfeng Mansion.

"I have guessed that the Hades intends to establish a branch in Qinghang Realm based on the frequent actions of the supervisory department. But they sent someone to the secret realm alone before the war? This is very strange. Is there some great secret hidden in this secret realm that makes the top leaders of the Hades very afraid?"

Liu Qiancui's eyes flickered: "Or should we look at the cause and effect the other way around... Is it because of this secret realm that the Hades wants to attack Qinghang Realm?"
