Evil Immortal!

Chapter 149 (Lost Items) Quest Begins!

That is why the group paid special attention to Master Ziyang.

They are able to obtain all these things now mostly because of Master Ziyang.

He was always keeping an eye on Master Ziyang.

However, the group was also aware that their strength was currently too weak, and the possibility of working for Meng Yuan or triggering any missions was ultimately slim. It would be better to focus on improving their cultivation first, and then come to find Meng Yuan after their cultivation had improved.

The group was quite surprised; they wondered what Master Ziyang wanted with them.

Zhang Wei then recounted what had just happened, which puzzled the group, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"What could Master Ziyang possibly want from us?"

"Have you forgotten? We haven't even started the B-rank quest 'Lost Item' that we triggered before. Maybe it's for this."

"That makes sense... But we haven't been to the Corpse Buddha Temple for a few days. Will that cause any problems?"

"Probably not. It's true that Master Ziyang asked us to keep an eye on the Corpse Buddha Temple, but we also have our own things to do. Besides, the poison dart frogs are stationed near the Corpse Buddha Temple, keeping an eye on things for us. We'll know as soon as there's any news, so it won't delay anything."

After chatting for a while, they felt relieved.

About half an hour later, everyone saw a streak of light rushing in from afar, as fast as lightning, like a celestial sword piercing through the clouds and soaring into the sky, leaving a faint trace in the air before landing in front of everyone.

The light faded, revealing Meng Yuan's true appearance.

The group immediately gathered around and greeted him, saying, "Greetings, Master Ziyang!"

"You're welcome."

Meng Yuan waved his hand, glancing at the several corpses of evil spirits such as Yin Corpses and Walking Corpses not far away, and understood what these people were busy with.

He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "How's the work I told you to do going? Has the Corpse Buddha Temple made any moves lately?"

Zhang Wei and the others exchanged glances, and Zhang Wei stepped forward to answer: "Please wait a moment, Master. We have been keeping watch near the Corpse Buddha Temple. We'll ask you now."

He then understood Meng Yuan's purpose: he had come for the Corpse Buddha Temple, and besides, it concerned his own mission.

Lost items must be handled with care.

"it is good."

Meng Yuan nodded and said nothing more.

A moment later, Zhang Wei finished communicating with the player Poison Dart Frog and then said to Meng Yuan, "Master, there haven't been any unusual changes in the Corpse Buddha Temple in the past few days, especially the Corpse Buddha, which has been sitting cross-legged in the temple without moving."

"Oh, really?"

Meng Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, how is that corpse Buddha now? Does it appear to be plump and healthy, just like a normal person?"

Zhang Wei inquired for a moment, then said, "That's right, the Corpse Buddha is indeed like that now. However..."

"But what?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuan felt somewhat relieved. Seeing Zhang Wei hesitate, he asked directly.

"However, recently, a group of extraterrestrial beings have also set their sights on this Corpse Buddha Temple, and have been circling around the area fighting monsters... no, killing the evil spirits in the vicinity."

Zhang Wei answered truthfully.

"An extraterrestrial being, huh? That's alright..."

'

Meng Yuan didn't seem to care when he heard this.

If it were a cultivator from the world of "Evil Immortals," he might be a little more nervous. As for players... at this stage, the strength of players is weak, and they are just engaging in small-scale battles, unable to cause any real trouble.

However, since the Corpse Buddha in the Corpse Buddha Temple has grown flesh and blood and looks no different from an ordinary person, it means that the Corpse Buddha will temporarily leave the Corpse Buddha Temple in three to five days at most, and that will be his opportunity.

"Alright, now you can go back to what you were doing and don't worry about me."

Meng Yuan waved his hand, telling Zhang Wei and the others to go about their own business: "I have something to arrange for you to do in a few days."

Zhang Wei and the others agreed, but they had some doubts in their hearts.

Next, Meng Yuan found a secluded spot nearby and began to meditate, preparing to have Zhang Wei and the other players do things for him when the time was right in a few days.

As for Meng Yuan himself, he had no intention of venturing into the Corpse Buddha Temple.

Other demons and evil spirits are one thing, but the key is that the Corpse Buddha is not to be trifled with. It is an old demon of the Yin God level, which he cannot afford to offend for the time being. He should be careful and let the players help him hold off the enemy in front.

Otherwise, if that corpse Buddha were to launch a surprise attack and trap him in the temple, it would be troublesome.

As for the players, they can revive after dying, so they're not afraid at all.

three days later.

Meng Yuan was sitting cross-legged under an old tree outside the Red Mud Swamp.

Although evil spirits roam and miasma floats near the Red Mud Swamp, Meng Yuan, with his current cultivation level, naturally wouldn't care about such troubles.

With him at the center, no evil spirits dared to approach within a radius of several miles.

This is why players like Zhang Wei and Qingqing have to travel further afield in order to fight monsters and gain experience.

At this moment, Meng Yuan opened his eyes and looked to his right front, as if he had noticed something.

Not long after, players Zhang Wei and his group rushed over. "Real people."

"What? What happened?"

Zhang Wei laughed and said, "Master, you are right. I just received news that the Corpse Buddha in the Corpse Buddha Temple has just left the temple and I don't know where it went."

As he said this, he was also somewhat doubtful, feeling that this Master Ziyang was indeed incredibly powerful, able to even foresee such a thing.

"very good."

Meng Yuan nodded, seemingly unsurprised. After sizing up the group before him, he said casually, "You should remember mentioning that I lost something at the Corpse Buddha Temple, right?"

Strongman Lock Man, Frog Prince, and the others nodded, indicating that they had not forgotten.

"Now that your abilities are barely adequate, go and retrieve the items for me."

Meng Yuan recalled for a moment and said, "This is a grayish-white leather scroll with some landscape patterns drawn on it. It is a map. This item should be under the lotus platform in the Corpse Buddha Temple."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, took out a jade box from his storage bag, and handed it to Zhang Wei: "After you get the item, remember to put the scroll in this box immediately."

The words had barely left his mouth when, ding!

Zhang Wei, Frog Prince, Qingqing, and Strongman Lock Man suddenly heard the panel notification sound in their ears.

Then, a message appeared in front of them:
