Chapter 338: Departure
When Lin Yan learned that there would be a reward at the place they were going, he asked, "Master Wudao, could you explain the mission in more detail?"
Wudao smiled and replied, "The place you'll be going to is called the Land of the Blood Rock, and it's about a five-day journey from our Dao Sect."
"That area is a chaotic area that doesn't belong to anyone because it's right at the intersection of several powerful sects."
"Even some of the most wanted individuals by the sects frequent that place."
"But there, we've heard that an Ancestral Xianyuan Tree grows."
"So, we plan to send you, but you won't go alone. Ying Huanhuan and others will also go."
Lin Yan asked, "Ying Huanhuan and others? Who else?"
Wudao replied, "Yes, because this mission is quite difficult, we've called two more."
"Those two are from other palaces and are also very strong. They must work well as a team."
"Tomorrow, meet at the entrance of the Dao Sect."
Lin Yan nodded and continued training.
During this time, Lin Yan managed to make his Desert Demon Eye even more powerful.
He found that among the acquired knowledge, there were some useful for his desert energy.
So, realizing this, he began to connect this knowledge.
Finally, Lin Yan discovered that this knowledge was not only useful for his desert energy but also for his Desert Demon Eye.
During his training, he clearly felt that his mental power was becoming stronger.
This meant that the mental attacks of his Desert Demon Eye were also strengthening.
This news was excellent for Lin Yan.
So, Lin Yan spent the whole day training.
The sunlight filtered from the sky, forming patches of light on Lin Yan, who stretched and headed to the entrance of the Dao Sect.
He remembered that Wudao had told him that they would leave for the mission today.
On the way, he met Wudao and they decided to go together.
When Lin Yan arrived at the entrance of the Dao Sect, he saw several people waiting. Among them, he recognized Ying Huanhuan.
Lin Yan briefly glanced at Ying Huanhuan before shifting his gaze to two men who were standing proudly.
Both had a distinguished appearance and wore one in white and the other in black. Although they looked at Lin Yan with some arrogance, this did not surprise him, as the Desert Palace had been in a lower position for years, and it was natural for the disciples of the other three palaces to feel superior.
Furthermore, the energy they emanated was not less than that of Jiang Hao, indicating that their position in their respective palaces was not low, possibly being direct disciples of their masters.
An elderly white-haired man, who was in front of Ying Huanhuan and the other two, smiled and greeted Wudao and Lin Yan, "Have the ones from the Desert Palace arrived?"
Wudao smiled and greeted the elderly man, "This is Elder Bai Hua."
"Is this young man the famous Lin Yan that is talked about so much in the Desert Palace? In just a month, he has been promoted to direct disciple, that's quite a record." Bai Hua smiled at Lin Yan.
Upon hearing this, Ying Huanhuan looked at Lin Yan. She had heard about this, but hadn't had a chance to tell her sister Ying Xiaoxiao.
Lin Yan humbly replied, "Elder, it was only thanks to the help of my peers."
Elder Bai Hua, satisfied with Lin Yan's modesty, nodded and praised Wudao, "He's a good kid; it seems the Desert Palace has been lucky."
"That's right..." Wudao laughed, not hiding his joy. Lin Yan's performance had exceeded his expectations, and he was sure he would have a great future.
Elder Bai Hua smiled and said, "Well, it's time for the four of you to leave. Ying Huanhuan will be the leader of the mission, so follow her orders."
"Go and come back quickly."
The two men nodded, and Lin Yan also accepted the order.
Ying Huanhuan was surprised by Lin Yan's readiness. She didn't expect him, being at the highest level of the Shengxuan Realm, to accept so easily.
Ying Huanhuan didn't dwell on it and, with a whistle, a large eagle appeared in the sky.
Ying Huanhuan and the two men climbed onto the eagle, but Lin Yan didn't. Instead, he used his energy to create a pair of wings.
Ying Huanhuan and the other two were amazed.
"Aren't you going to get on?" Ying Huanhuan asked.
Lin Yan smiled, "If I get on, I'll slow down the eagle, so I prefer to fly alongside you."
"After all, we need to go and come back quickly."
The two men were also surprised. The eagle would indeed slow down with four people.
But how did Lin Yan know? Wasn't this his first mission?
Without further ado, the three allowed Lin Yan to follow them flying.
To their surprise, Lin Yan's speed was no less than that of the eagle.
In the Desert Palace, they always used this eagle for long trips because of its great speed.
Seeing Lin Yan fly so fast made the two men feel strangely impressed.
"Doesn't this guy run out of energy? He's been flying for a long time without a break and still fast!" one of them commented.
Ying Huanhuan told them, "You don't know that this guy is already at the highest level of the Shengxuan Realm..."
Upon hearing this, the two men were astonished.
"Really? He, at the highest level of the Shengxuan Realm?" one of them asked.
Ying Huanhuan nodded, "Yes, his name is Lin Yan. He's been in the Dao Sect for only a month."
"He absorbed all the energy from our dan river in seven days, and a few days ago he understood the most powerful technique of the Desert Palace."
The two men looked at Lin Yan in amazement, feeling the powerful desert energy surrounding him, confirming Ying Huanhuan's words.
"The most powerful technique of the Desert Palace? Won't it be...?" one of them asked.
Ying Huanhuan nodded, "Yes, the Desert Demon Eye."
Upon hearing this, the two men exclaimed, "What?! Is this guy a monster?! How can he be so strong?"
