Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1911 (Raw 2012): Purpose of the Mission

After General Feng saw Xiao Chen sit down, he glanced around at the core disciples from the seven outer palaces. Then, he said seriously. “Since everyone is already here, I will explain the plan to everyone.”

Murong Yan, Xiao Chen, and the others looked at General Feng with serious expressions.

General Feng organized his thoughts before saying, “The stolen resource node generates Netherworld Frost Iron ores and Underworld Heart Jades. You might not understand the value of these two resources, so I will give a simple explanation. Netherworld Frost Iron is necessary for the production of inherited Dao Tools. No other resource can replace it. As for Underworld Heart Jade, it can directly stabilize the soul. As a natural resource that replenishes Soul Energy, it can be used to refine Underworld Heart Pills, a Medicinal Pill needed by Sovereign Personages.”

Everyone felt startled. Although they all had inherited Dao Tools, they did not know that the forging of inherited Dao Tools required Netherworld Frost Iron.

As for Underworld Heart Jade, most of the core disciples had heard of it before. As it was extremely precious, those with cultivations below Sovereign Personage would not be able to carry around large amounts of it.

Xiao Chen recalled that he had some Underworld Heart Pills in his storage ring.

Those were trophies from killing Holy Venerates, and he did not have many.

“Actually, we can bear these losses. As long as we have our main base, we will be able to rebuild these resource nodes in this vast Abyssal Underworld. The greatest loss is reputation and prestige. If we cannot regain our lost resource node within a certain time frame, the other factions will belittle the Flame Dragon Legion’s strength.

“At that time, not to mention what Rakshasa Tian might do, the other factions from the surface might make a move on us. The competition in this Abyssal Underworld is even more intense than on the surface. Do you understand what I am saying?”

Clearly, General Feng had long prepared these words to drive home the severity of the matter to everyone.

The matter was not as simple as losing one resource node. In this Abyssal Underworld, the strong fed on the weak. The survival-of-the-fittest competition here was even more horrifying.

If the Dragon’s Gate could not quickly retake the resource node, it would appear weak to others.

There was no place for the weak in this Abyssal Underworld. Ostensibly, it was just the loss of one resource node, but in reality, it threatened all of the Dragon’s Gate’s interests in the underground world.

If the Dragon’s Gate was not careful, Flame Dragon City might end up uprooted by others.

General Feng meant that this mission should not be underestimated. Everyone needed to understand the importance of this mission. Failure was not an option.

“It is just an insignificant resource node. General, don’t worry. It will not be too difficult for us.”

Right after General Feng spoke, Murong Yan expressed his stance, radiating confidence.

Who knew, the core disciples of the other outer palaces all gave Murong Yan strange looks.

General Feng frowned slightly in puzzlement. He had already expressed himself very clearly. Why did this Murong Yan still not understand? To think that Murong Yan called it an insignificant resource node, indicating no appreciation of the severity of this mission.

General Feng’s gaze wandered and landed on Xiao Chen. Now, he started to doubt Murong Yan’s earlier words.

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat, a presentiment of danger. He quickly said, “General, we all understand the importance of this mission. Just tell us what we need to coordinate on. We will definitely not be careless and will follow your arrangements.”

“Good!”

General Feng nodded slightly. He said softly, “The fight for the node will be a large-scale battle. The seven of you alone can’t take it back. What I need you to do is destroy the Rakshasa Demons’ Underworld God Altar. After you release a signal, I will initiate an attack. You must follow the arrangements. Do not take independent action.”

Clearly, Xiao Chen’s words temporarily eased General Feng’s worries.

“Whoosh!”

General Feng waved his hand, and a jade strip appeared before Xiao Chen and the others. The jade strip had information about the Rakshasa Demons’ altar as well as the details of this mission.

Through sacrifices, the Underworld God Altar could summon a clone of the Rakshasa Tian, the First Underworld Monarch.

When Rakshasa Tian’s clone appeared, he could use his Underworld Monarch Will to affect the Rakshasa Demons within five thousand kilometers, amplifying their strength considerably. They would not fear death, and their combat prowess would increase by at least fifty percent.

Furthermore, Rakshasa Tian’s clone was a powerful existence itself, posing a great threat.

The countless Underworld God Altars were what allowed the Rakshasa Race to become the overlord of the Abyssal Underworld’s first layer. The various factions of the surface world could not truly shake up or threaten the Rakshasa Race’s predominance.

Destroying the Underworld God Altar was equal to breaking off an arm of the Rakshasa Demons and would significantly increase the Dragon’s Gate’s chances of reclaiming the resource node.

The mission that General Feng issued gathered the elites of the various outer palaces. The seven people would rely on their own strength to enter deep into enemy territory and destroy the Underworld God Altar.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, This mission is truly extraordinarily dangerous. There are only the seven of us infiltrating deep into enemy territory.

If we seven are discovered or an accident happens, we will definitely die. It will be hard to flee.

When the other six saw the details of the mission, their expressions changed somewhat.

Originally, the core disciples thought that they would charge in with the Flame Dragon Legion and kill the enemy. Who knew, they were going in alone to destroy the Underworld God Altar.

Since the Underworld God Altar was so important, it went without saying that it would be tightly guarded.

General Feng said, “This mission is indeed rather dangerous. However, you can rest assured; there are no Sovereign Personages guarding the Underworld God Altar. The Rakshasa Demons have only one Sovereign Personage. He cannot possibly guard the Underworld God Altar himself.

“Once the Underworld God Altar is destroyed, I will initiate an attack. That Sovereign Personage will have to deal with the Flame Dragon Legion and will not be able to chase after you.”

Xiao Chen grasped the jade strip and looked at General Feng. Then, he asked, “When do we depart?”

General Feng was very satisfied with Xiao Chen’s attitude. Xiao Chen did not complain at all and was direct. General Feng replied softly, “Three days hence. During these three days, if you have any needs, my army will do its best to fulfill them if possible.

“During these three days, you should train together and familiarize yourselves with each other. When the time comes, you will be able to cooperate with each other better. If you have any questions, you can raise them now.”

The Golden Dragon Palace core disciple at the left side said, “I would like to know whether we will receive extra rewards from the Flame Dragon Legion after the mission is over.”

General Feng frowned slightly. However, he still said, “I can make the decision to give you all some Netherworld Frost Iron and Underworld Heart Jade as an extra reward.”

“I want five tons of Netherworld Frost Iron and one hundred Underworld Heart Jades,” the Golden Dragon Palace core disciple said indifferently. He was expressionless, looking like there was no room for discussion.

“Wei Hongfei, you are profiting from misfortune!” one of the adjutants at General Feng’s side exclaimed angrily.

The Golden Dragon Palace’s Wei Hongfei did not change his expression. He did not say anything, just waiting for General Feng’s reply.

General Feng felt slightly angry in his heart. However, this Wei Hongfei was the strongest among the seven and would be the core of this team. Eventually, General Feng said through clenched teeth, “If you really can destroy the Underworld God Altar, I can give you five tons of Netherworld Frost Iron and one hundred Underworld Heart Jades. However, if you fail to accomplish that...well, you know the consequences.”

Wei Hongfei revealed a slight smile and said softly, “Deal.”

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Upon seeing the situation, the core disciples of the other outer palaces also made requests, asking for extra rewards according to their strength.

Soon, only Xiao Chen and Murong Yan remained out of the seven core disciples.

General Feng looked at the two, indicating that they could ask for extra rewards that corresponded to their strength.

Who knew, these two did not want any extra rewards. Murong Yan shook his head and said, “I do not have the habit of taking advantage of others. My Murong Clan does not lack resources.”

Now, only Xiao Chen remained. He likewise did not want to ask for an extra reward. He also did not have the habit of taking advantage of others.

Xiao Chen only raised a request. He needed good arrows of large quantity and high quality.

The quality of Xiao Chen’s arrows was too poor. If he did not infuse Heart Flame into them, he could not use them with the God Shadow Bow.

Since he came to the army, he definitely had to obtain a batch of good arrows for his own use.

Xiao Chen’s request was very reasonable. General Feng agreed happily and got a person to bring him over to the military supplies.

Three days later, the seven assembled. General Feng personally sent the team off.

Whether the Underworld God Altar was destroyed or not would be critical to reclaiming the resource node. Just from how much resources General Feng put in, it was clear how important this mission was.

General Feng even agreed to Wei Hongfei’s unreasonable request.

While watching Xiao Chen’s group leave, General Feng’s adjutant asked, “General, do you think they will succeed?”

General Feng replied softly, “There is a very good chance. These seven’s strengths are impressive. Among the core disciples of their respective palaces, they are among the top. Although that Wei Hongfei is unruly, taking advantage of the situation, he is certainly qualified to compete for a heaven-class core disciple position in the Golden Dragon Palace. As for Murong Yan, he is a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Red Dragon Race.

“It is only Xiao Chen who is weaker. The Heavenly Dragon Palace is still somewhat unreliable. Prepare a fallback under the assumption that they will fail.”

“Yes, General.”

After leaving Flame Dragon City, Xiao Chen could tell that the other six were already familiar with each other.

Along the way, the other six discussed with each other in soft voices, expressing their own opinions.

Xiao Chen immediately understood after one look. During the past three days, the other six had met, isolating him.

After traveling for a while, Wei Hongfei suddenly stopped and cast his gaze on Xiao Chen.

“I am the leader for this mission. I believe General Feng already told all of you. I have seen your information. Xiao Chen, you are good at Movement Techniques. You will lead the way and scout ahead.”

Scouting was dangerous work. However, Xiao Chen did not mind. He was confident of survival should he meet a Sovereign Personage.

Not bothering with useless words, he nodded and directly went ahead to scout the way.

“This mixed-blood dragon is rather wise. He knows that he is weaker and does not have any right to speak.”

“He also understands himself well. He knows that he can only rely on the six of us for this mission. If he does not hold us back, it would be very good already.”

“I really don’t understand how he could become a core disciple with such low cultivation. Is the Heavenly Dragon Palace that weak now?”

Once Xiao Chen was far away, the others revealed their disdain for mixed-blood dragons, which they hid deep in their hearts.

Murong Yan was aware of Xiao Chen’s strength. However, he did not want to say much and did not interject.

Wei Hongfei said indifferently, “Let’s continue discussing how to complete this mission. This matter is very important, and we need to be cautious and careful.”
