Ding dong, just as Xu Tianjiao left, Xu Ning's phone rang.
"Damn..."
Looking at the wechat group on his phone, Xu Ning sighed helplessly and unlocked the wechat group.
Daoist priest: [@Supernatural Bureau Xu Ning, when are we leaving, fellow Daoist?]
Heavenly Dao Sect's Little Fairy: [@Supernatural Bureau Xu Ning, big brother, I heard that you're leading the mission, let's pass this with flying colors!
Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie: [Ahhh! I wanna leech from big brother as well! Ahhhhh!]
Heavenly Dao Sect's Little Fairy: [Hehehe, it's your fault for not taking the commission earlier!]
Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie: [Damn it!]
Looking at the message in the group, Xu Ning shook his head with a bitter smile. Other than the two on his team, the rest did not seem reliable.
"Hmm…forget it. No matter what, they're still cultivators from a sect. Her strength shouldn't be too bad, and she should have a lot of spells and techniques on her. Bring it on."
With this thought in mind, Xu Ning tapped his finger lightly and sent out a message.
Supernatural Bureau Xu Ning: [@Daoist Priest, @Heavenly Dao Sect's Fairy, meet me at the back of XXX Academy's old campus at 11 pm tonight.]
Heavenly Dao Sect's Fairy: [Received. :3]
Daoist Priest: [Understood.]
Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie: [I want to go too!]
Seeing this message, Xu Ning could not help but smile.
Supernatural Bureau Xu Ning: [@Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie, I'll bring you along next time I accept a commission.]
At the pavilion of the Heavenly Sword Sect's disciples, a handsome young man was stunned when he saw the wechat group's message.
"Woohoo!"
The young man jumped up excitedly and raised his arms to shout, then quickly replied.
Heavenly Sword Sect's Newbie: [@Supernatural Bureau's Xu Ning, then we've made a deal! When the time comes, you must bring me with you!]
Supernatural Bureau's Xu Ning: [Don't worry, alright, that's all for now. I'll go back to work.]
The newbie said, "Okay!!"
Xu Ning put down his phone and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. His eyes were full of worry.
"Sigh, forget it. I'll just do my best and leave it to fate..."
Xu Ning rubbed his temples with a worried expression. Then, he stood up and returned to his room.
[Ding! The remnant of the five thunder secret technique has been detected. Do you want to spend 1 point to strengthen it?]
Xu Ning held the five thunder secret technique remnant in his hand. Just in case, it was better to learn the Thunder technique at the same time.
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of successfully strengthening appeared in his mind. Then, wisps of platinum-colored lightning began to appear on his body. This was a sign of the great success of the five thunder secret technique.
"Just like last time, I don't need to cultivate at all. I've directly comprehended it."
Looking at the lightning in his palm, Xu Ning murmured softly. Then, he put the lightning into his body and took a few pieces of kidney treasure pills to cultivate for a while.
This mission concerned Yi Guang and Chen Zhong's life and death. Xu Ning naturally did not dare to neglect it. Therefore, he had to adjust his condition to the best.
...
At the back of the mountain of the old campus, the moon hung on the branches. The mountain forest was quiet. Other than the sound of insects, there was no other sound.
"It's really quiet."
Xu Ning looked around and casually said a few words. Then, he hurried toward the entrance of the mountain forest.
Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the mountain forest. He found that there were already two people waiting here.
On the left was a pretty girl wearing a light pink celestial dress. She had a light temperament, and on the right was a handsome young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe.
While Xu Ning was sizing up the two of them, the other two were also sizing him up. This sizing up made the two of them secretly shocked. Although they knew that Xu Ning was very young and was only a university student, when they really saw Xu Ning…they could not help but be surprised. At the same time, they sighed in their hearts that there was always someone better than them. They could not be arrogant and complacent just because they were genius disciples in the sect.
"Hello, I'm Xu Ning."
After a while, Xu Ning did not waste time introducing herself.
"Hello, big brother. I'm the Little Fairy of the Heavenly Dao Sect in the group. My real name is Gu Ya."
The first person to introduce herself was the girl on the left. From her lively tone, Xu Ning could be one hundred percent sure that she was the one in the group.
Xu Ning looked at the young Taoist priest and asked, "This is the young Taoist Priest from the Taoist Sect in the group, right?"
The young Taoist Priest bowed to Xu Ning and said respectfully, "Hello, fellow Daoist Xu. The young Taoist priest from the Taoist sect is me. My name is Qu Shi, from the Taoist Sect. My Daoist name is Yuan Yi. You can call me Yuan Yi, fellow Daoist Xu."
Xu Ning nodded slightly. Then, he pointed at the entrance of the forest and said, "I sensed a faint demonic aura when I arrived here. Did you discover anything before me?"
Gu Ya and Yuan Yi both shook their heads. Then, Yuan Yi said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, we are the same as you. Other than the faint demonic aura in the air, we didn't discover anything else."
Hearing this, Xu Ning frowned. He thought to himself that it would not be easy to find someone if this continued.
However, at this moment, Yuan Yi continued, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I think we should be able to find some clues by following the traces of the demonic aura."
Gu Ya raised her small hand and echoed, "Big brother, big brother, I think so too!"
Xu Ning carefully sensed the demonic aura in the surroundings and then said, "This method is indeed feasible, but the problem is that the demonic aura in the air is too faint. If we follow it, it won't take long for it to dissipate."
Suddenly, Xu Ning seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked the two of them, "Both of you are from cultivation sects. I wonder if there are any secret techniques that can follow the weak aura to find it?"
Gu Ya frowned, her small face full of thought. Then, she shook her head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, big brother. I don't have this kind of technique among the techniques I've learned."
Just as Xu Ning was feeling a little disappointed, Yuan Yi thought for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, Fairy Gu, I have a spell that I might be able to try, although I'm not sure if it will work."
Xu Ning's eyes lit up when he heard that. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not give it a try?"
Yuan Yi nodded and closed his eyes. His handsome face had a hint of solemnity as his fingers began to form a mysterious spell.
Seeing this, Xu Ning and Gu Ya did not say anything. They just waited quietly by Yuan Yi's side.
A moment later, Yuan Yi opened his eyes. He said with joy, "It's useful!"
Xu Ning and Gu Ya were delighted. Xu Ning said, "Since it's useful, I'll have to ask Yuan Yi to lead the way."
Yuan Yi nodded solemnly, "Of course. Fellow Daoist Xu, Fairy Gu, please follow me without delay."
After saying that, Yuan Yi immediately walked into the entrance of the forest. Xu Ning and Gu Ya followed closely behind without hesitation.
They were here to save people this time, so the three of them walked very quickly. They looked like they were in a hurry...
