Star Trace Gate

Chapter 702: Rebirth in the Forest

Wanxiang Gate, main hall.

Ren Ye, Yin Hu, Ai Fei and others hurried over, but saw that Minister Wen, Wang Changfeng and others all sat down with solemn expressions and very serious attitudes.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Has the Heavenly Dao rule regarding the Golden Key appeared?"

"Yes."

Wang Changfeng raised his hand and handed the golden key to Ren Ye: "Feel it for yourself."

"okay."

Ren Ye immediately took the key that was shining with a faint golden light and emitted his perception.

[The Golden Key of Gutan Sect Relic: A key that symbolizes the faith and trust of Gutan City. It may be able to open the door to power...]

[Golden Key Mission: The Order Master holding the key must successfully rescue the only living person in the Gutan Sect’s ancestral land—Tianque Taoist—within one month.]

[Mission Reward: Order Guardian Amulet.]

[Mission Description: A surviving ancestor of the Gutan Sect is imprisoned in the ancestral land. Rumor has it that he once stood at the top of the swordsmanship in the migration area. Such a terrifying and unknown existence may make the Chaos Camp feel strongly threatened... ]

[Unknown attack: A Chaos God has accepted the mission to stop the rescue of Taoist Tianque. He currently holds six teleportation talismans that can directly teleport to the abyss of Shenzuo Mountain; he can lead up to 100 Chaos Gods to obstruct and attack this operation from any city or any corner of the migration area.]

[Win or lose conditions: Successfully rescue Tianque Taoist and you will get an Order Amulet; if you fail, there will be no penalty, but the "job progress" related to the golden key will be slow.]

[Warm reminder: This quest is the prologue to the "Disaster Storyline" and is part of the entire super event.]

Ren also slowly came back to his senses, holding the key, and started to curse: "The Heavenly Dao here is really disgusting, vulgar, and shameless! He turned the rescue of Senior White Stripe Chicken into a Star Gate mission for no reason?! Isn't this despicable?"

Tang Feng stepped forward and asked curiously, "Let me feel it too."

Ren also handed him the golden key, asking him to sense it together with his beloved concubine, Yin Hu and others.

Not long after, Tang Feng also opened his eyes and cursed: "It's really cheap, really cheap!"

No wonder the faces of all the "civil and military officials" were so unhappy just now. It turned out that the Heavenly Dao was disgusting. Senior Bai Tiaoji was not from this era, and the ancestral land where he was imprisoned was also very special. It had always maintained the appearance before the collapse of the migration land. It was not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao, just like a village on the blue planet.

In addition, the rescue of Senior Bai Tiao Ji was originally just a private action initiated by Ren Ye, but now it has been officially evolved into a mission by Tian Dao, and the "attack" mission has been awarded to the Chaos Camp.

As a result, something that was originally very stable becomes full of "variables".

But speaking of this variable, Senior White Striped Chicken and the ancestral land should be regarded as the biggest change here. He even indirectly affected the direction of some rules of the Gutan Sect Secret Realm, such as the internal and external cooperation and the matter of hiding people in the ancestral land.

As we all know, the way of heaven never suffers losses, and those who take advantage of the way of heaven will surely be punished.

His behavior was vulgar and shameless, more like a revenge. However, He classified this action as a super disaster event, which was also considered acting according to the rules.

There was complete silence in the main hall. Ren Ye walked with his hands behind his back and frowned, saying, "There is a troublemaker. This is a bit troublesome."

"Yes."

Wang Changfeng looked solemn, and he stood up and agreed, "At present, we still don't know which force is in chaos, and which person has taken the responsibility of the attack. So there is no way to evaluate the combat power and grade of the other party's 100 attackers."

After a moment of contemplation, Ren Ye said, "My analysis shows that it is most likely that the Wall-Facing Man took him in. The Gutan Sect secret realm and the rescue operation are interrelated, and the Heavenly Dao attaches great importance to cause and effect. It doesn't make sense to choose a new force to get involved in this incident. If the existence of this ancestral land breaks some rules, then the Wall-Facing Man is the one who suffers. I think it is reasonable for the Heavenly Dao to help them make up for it."

"If it was really the Wall-Facing Man who took it, then they will definitely retaliate at all costs." The Dragon Head interjected: "Maybe winning is a trivial matter, but as long as they can make us suffer a loss, that's what they want to see."

"In this case, when we rescue our ancestor, the Wall-Facing Man will definitely come."

Wang Changfeng walked over, and said with a very depressed expression: "The rescue deadline is one month, and there is no punishment if it fails. So what if we delay for a month, do not rescue for the time being, and wait until the mission expires before launching the operation?"

"Master Wang is too anxious and confused." Tang Feng immediately persuaded: "Your method sounds good and can avoid fighting. But have you ever thought that the Heavenly Dao said that it would not punish those who rescued, but it did not say that it would not punish Senior White Striped Chicken. What if the rescue fails in a month, and the Heavenly Dao suppresses the ancestral land again?"

Wang Changfeng nodded slightly: "That makes sense. In this case, we can only rescue according to the rules. However, we need to be fully prepared and mobilize troops to ensure that the ancestor will not be disturbed at all when he is breaking through the barrier. On this point, we, the Wanxiang Sect, cannot afford to lose."

"I have the exact opposite opinion from you." Ren Ye immediately waved his hand and said, "If you can save him early, you must not save him later."

"Why?"

Wang Changfeng frowned and asked.

"In my opinion, the opponent must be the Wall-Facing Man. You need time to prepare, so do they. You have twenty days to deploy troops, so the Wall-Facing Man must be a group of experts." Ren Ye replied solemnly, "Besides, you have to figure out the other party's psychology. Once this Heavenly Dao mission comes out, he will think that we need to make more detailed preparations and dare not rescue rashly. Because the Heavenly Dao rules are very clear, Tianque Taoist once stood at the top of the swordsmanship in the migration area. This evaluation is too high, and the order cannot ignore it. So why not, we do the opposite, catch the other party off guard, and take action within three days."

Wang Changfeng was a little confused: "Three days, I'm afraid it won't work? Your luck isn't enough."

Ren Ye pondered for a while and said, "My last friend will be here soon."

"I think this move is too risky. Even if we want to catch the other party off guard, we have to have some chance of winning." Wang Changfeng thought carefully: "According to what you said, there is no heavenly suppression in this ancestral land, and there is no secret realm grade. In addition, the heavenly rules only state that the other party has 100 magical masters who sneak attack, but there is no limit on the grade of the attackers. In other words... we can't say how many masters the Wall-Facing Supreme will send. What if there are fifth-grade or even higher ones, how should we deal with it?"

Ren Ye stared at him and asked bluntly, "We have finished fighting in the third-grade secret realm. Tell me the truth. If we launch a rescue operation within three days, how much can the Wanxiang Sect do?"

Wang Changfeng was silent for a long while, and only replied in voice transmission: "I won't talk about the fourth rank. If I need to be rescued within three days, I will need to return to the sect's secret realm immediately to wake up the secluded elders of my Wanxiang Sect. But I can't guarantee that I can arrive within three days."

Ren was also a little surprised: "Are all the people in your Wanxiang Sect sleeping beauties? Why do these masters want to wake them up?"

At this point, Master Wang did not play dumb, but whispered: "The elders in my sect are all of the same generation, and they are all about to die. In order to ensure that they can return to their homeland, conquer the migration area, and continue the inheritance and bless the later generations. Therefore, my elders have imprisoned themselves with the secret method of the sect and need to sleep to slightly extend their lifespan."

Ren nodded slightly, then said, "Since you can't guarantee that you will lead the elders of the sect to help within three days, then I can only... go back and ask my master to see if he is interested in this matter."

"Can Shousui Ren help my Wanxiang Sect again?!" Wang Changfeng asked excitedly.

Ren also shook his head slightly: "I said, it depends on my master's mood."

"We are old acquaintances. I will speak directly to you. Previously, Shousui people came to the aid of Gutan Sect's secret realm because I was inside, and Wanxiang Sect is also in the Order camp, so we helped. But now the nature of the matter has changed, and I don't know... what decision Master will make."

"Do you want to pay more?" Wang Changfeng looked at him sideways and asked in a voice transmission.

"Why are you looking at me like that...!" Ren Ye stamped his feet anxiously: "Who do you think I am?!"

"Donor Emperor Ren, I, Wang Changfeng, swear to heaven on behalf of Wanxiang Sect that if the Keeper of the Year can help Wanxiang Sect successfully rescue the ancestor within three days, in the future, Wanxiang Sect will only recognize the Keeper of the Year throughout the entire migration area, and will never hesitate to send anyone." Wang Changfeng said solemnly: "Oh, and I heard from Minister Wen that you are selling blessed houses in your personal secret realm. I can buy ten sets on behalf of Wanxiang Sect as gifts to reward outstanding disciples in the sect."

Ren Ye's eyes instantly became clear and bright: "Master, you are so kind, I am really touched. I will go back and discuss it with Master... No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely sleep with him."

"Okay, I'm done."

"That's it."

Ren also turned his head to look at everyone, clasped his fists and said, "Everyone wait here, I will go back to Suzaku City."

"brush!"

After saying that, he moved his aura and left the door.

Tang Feng was confused. He turned to look at Wang Changfeng and asked in confusion, "What did you say to him? Why did he go back to Suzaku City to cheat again?"

Minister Wen curled his lips and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? This must have been consumed."

"...!"

Tang Feng was speechless.

Yin Hu blinked, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Master Wang, can you lend me this golden key to observe it?"

"can."

Wang Changfeng nodded.

Soon, Brother Tiger took the key and showed a stupid expression: "Hey, why doesn't the key I got have the Heavenly Dao rules read out?"

"Cousin, what were you listening to just now? They offended the Heavenly Dao, so they were forced to do this kind of job. You didn't offend... the Heavenly Dao doesn't bother to pay attention to you." Hu Ying'er commented speechlessly with her pretty face.

"Shut up, I'll deal with you when I get back."

Yin Hu thought for a moment, "If we fail, the Golden Key mission will progress more slowly. This is very important information. We must send someone back to inform Father..."

……

Suzaku City.

Minister Lin was dressed in a red robe and his hair was combed meticulously. When he stepped in the air, he had already crossed the stone bridge leading to the Inscriptionless Monument and the Forest of Rebirth.

This ancient secret city is always in perpetual darkness, and today there was a biting cold wind. A huge monument without words stood in front of the Forest of Rebirth, emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Lin Xiang was hanging alone in front of the forest. He took another step, and the dense and vast branches of the forest tilted to the east and west by themselves, like an open door, welcoming the owner to return home.

He took one step into the Forest of Rebirth, and the forest was surging; he took two steps into the eternal night, where the stars and the moon were no longer visible, and his physical body completely disappeared.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Xiang was standing in a stone house illuminated only by a few lights.

The room was filled with various rusty torture instruments, including iron chains, large pliers, a blazing furnace, and iron stakes for hanging bodies.

A bronze plaque is hung in the north of the house with three large characters inscribed on it - Guangjiu Ju.

This house is behind the Forest of Rebirth, hidden in the eternal night. Among all the people in the entire Suzaku City, or in other words, all the powerful people in the world, only Lin Xiang has been here. Even the Second Master does not know of the existence of this place.
