Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 163 Silent Sunset Forest

In order to complete the task assigned by Mu Lao and obtain the sixth spirit ring, Wu Xuan risked his life in the following days.

He was either on the way to accept a mission or on the way to complete a mission. As for the academy, he never even stopped.

"Huh! After being busy for half a month, I finally finish the last mission. It's a 100,000-year-old Rouge Dragon, a top-level sub-dragon soul beast with the attribute of annihilation." Holding the last black scroll, Wu Xuan looked more and more excited.

Opening the scroll, the information about this mission came into view.

A large group of wolf bandits suddenly appeared recently near Xingguang City, a major city in the northwest of the Xingluo Empire. In just two days, this group of wolf bandits massacred nearly ten villages and towns, causing at least several thousand casualties.

According to the investigation of the intelligence personnel of the Supervisory Hall, this group of wolf bandits advanced and retreated in a measured and methodical manner, and they evaded the encirclement and suppression by the army sent by the Xingluo Empire several times.

Therefore, the Supervisory Hall suspected that there was an evil soul master secretly orchestrating this group of wolf thieves.

Wu Xuan's mission goal is to destroy this group of wolf bandits and kill the person behind the scenes who commands them.

"An evil soul master is another evil soul master. He is truly a beast worse than pigs and dogs." Wu Xuan put away the scroll and went straight to Shrek City.

After more than ten days of continuous tasks, the food and fresh water in the soul guide were almost used up, so he went to the commercial street of Shrek City to replenish them.

At the same time, at the gate of Shrek Academy, two figures, one old and one young, were still confronting each other.

"Teacher, please let me go with Brother Xuan! I beg you." Xiao Xiao pleaded pitifully.

"No! What level are you at now, little girl? Wu Xuan's monitoring mission this time is not ordinary. I don't let you follow him for your safety." Old Xuan took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand and once again righteously rejected Xiao Xiao's request.

"Wuwuwu~ Bad teacher, stinky teacher, I've been training beside you for over two years, and I haven't even seen Brother Xuan many times. That Ma Xiaotao pesters Brother Xuan every day, saying she wants to suppress her evil fire, but I think she has ulterior motives. I'm really afraid that Brother Xuan might be seduced away by that woman Ma Xiaotao one day."

"Teacher, if this delays your little disciple's lifelong event, what's the point of me staying in the academy to practice? I might as well go out and wander around." Xiao Xiao complained tearfully.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Old Xuan seemed to be choked suddenly and started coughing violently.

Old Xuan was speechless. This little girl usually looked silly, so how come she became smart about this matter?

If this little girl knew that Xiao Tao and Wu Xuan were already together, that would be disastrous. He, as a master, would have no good days to live. In order to shirk responsibility, Master Xuan made a decision.

"Okay, okay, okay! It's up to you. But let me make one thing clear in advance, the priority of this trip is still the monitoring mission. You can decide what you want to do after the mission is over." Old Xuan picked up the corner of his clothes and wiped his greasy hands, and then warned.

"Yeah! Long live the teacher!" Xiao Xiao's expression changed 180 degrees in an instant, leaving Old Xuan stunned.

I feel like I have been tricked by this little girl.

Xiao Xiao excitedly went to the west gate of Shrek, but soon after arriving, he saw Wu Xuan walking towards him leisurely, holding a pancake in his mouth.

"Brother Xuan!" Xiao Xiao shouted, and ran towards Wu Xuan, the little bells on her hair accessories jingling.

"What urgent matter do you have to talk to me about, little girl? Are you waiting for me here?" Wu Xuan asked in surprise, putting away the pancake in his mouth.

"Hmm~! Can't I just look for you if I have nothing to do? Brother Xuan! I haven't seen you back to the academy for almost a month. And don't call me a little girl." Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and stomped her feet. Wu Xuan smiled helplessly, "Haha! I'm busy with business!"

"I know you are busy! But even if you are busy, you must still balance work and rest! Take me with you on this mission!" Xiao Xiao leaned forward and asked.

"Sure! Then let's go together. This time we're heading to Xingguang City, an important town on the border of the Xingluo Empire. It's a three or four day journey! I feel upset just thinking about it." Wu Xuan rubbed Xiao Xiao's little head and said tiredly.

"Ah~!" Xiao Xiao was stunned when he felt the warmth from the big hand on his head. He originally thought that he would have to make a long speech and beg for mercy before the other party would agree, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so easily.

He still has me in his heart! Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao laughed foolishly.

"Stop being dazed, let's go." Wu Xuan walked out of the west city gate and directly carried the sixth-level flying soul guide specially made for the inner courtyard on his back.

"Oh! Here it comes." Xiaoxiao jumped excitedly and rushed out of the west gate.

When ordinary people use flying soul guides to fly at high speeds, their bodies are impacted by the airflow and they need to rely on their bodies and soul power to resist it, which consumes a lot of the soul power of the soul master.

But it was different with Wu Xuan around. Extreme winds surrounded the two of them, and the wind resistance at high speed was reduced to zero. But even so, the two of them only flew at full speed for two and a half hours before Xiao Xiao's soul power could no longer withstand it.

"Brother Xuan! That's the Sunset Forest in the distance, right? We're almost passing Tiandou City, let's land and take a rest!" Xiao Xiao shouted, looking to the left.

"Yeah." Wu Xuan looked deeply at the lifeless forest on his left, then nodded and landed downwards.

The two of them went to Xingguang City, the important town of Xingluo City. They did not have to pass through the Sunset Forest, but they could see its outline in the distance.

Wu Xuan squeezed his wrists and stretched his bones as he landed on the ground. He would eventually enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to plunder the immortal herbs, but that would be at least after he obtained his sixth spirit ring.

Wu Xuan pointed to the storage soul guide on his waist, and took out all the cakes, dried meat and sesame cakes that he had stored in Shrek City that morning.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao didn't hesitate and took the cake from Wu Xuan and started eating it. While eating, she silently watched Wu Xuan beside her.

Being in the wild, Wu Xuan naturally would not be careless, and his breath perception always covered an area of ​​nearly a thousand meters in radius.

Wu Xuan's soul power had not actually been consumed too much along the way. Now, after just one meal, his soul power had basically recovered.

With a slight shift of his mind, his aura perception spread nearly ten thousand meters to the west. For his next move, he still needed to roughly assess the overall strength of Sunset Forest.

But the next moment Wu Xuan was stunned. He could not sense any powerful aura in the large area of ​​Sunset Forest. Wu Xuan did not believe it, so he expanded his aura perception again, covering the entire outer area in the west, but he still did not sense even a hundred-year-old soul beast.

"Hiss! I didn't expect that there is not even a hundred-year-old soul beast in the outer area of ​​​​the Sunset Forest. This place is really barren!" Wu Xuan murmured in surprise.

In his past life, he knew Sunset Forest was ruined, but he hadn't imagined it would be so devastating. Even if humans were more skilled at killing, they couldn't possibly wipe out all the plant- and insect-type spirit beasts.

"Brother Xuan! You are talking about the Sunset Forest nearby! I know some of the reasons, do you want to hear it?" Xiaoxiao came over and said with her big eyes blinking.

"Then tell me about it." Wu Xuan became interested after hearing this.
