When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

"However, it's entirely voluntary. If anyone feels this journey is dangerous and doesn't want to go, there's still time to withdraw."

Wang Qian laughed heartily, patted his chest and said, "What are you talking about, Shopkeeper Gao Zhao? Since we are here, we are naturally well prepared. Why would we retreat at the last minute?"

Jiang Zhi also smiled slightly, gently turning an exquisite talisman in his hand, "Exactly. People like us who practice cultivation are always going against the will of heaven. How can we be frightened by a mere monster?"

His eyes flashed coldly beneath his shadowy cloak, and his voice was deep and cold. "Now that the mission has begun, there's no turning back. I only care about whether the reward will be paid in full once the mission is completed."

Xie Gaozhao nodded, his expression serious. "Tianbao Tower has always been fair to everyone. As long as the mission is completed, the reward will naturally be no less."

Jiang Song remained silent, just gently stroking the teacup in his hand, as if thinking about something.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's set off now." After Xie Gaozhao said this, he stood up first and walked out the door.

When they reached an open area, Xie Gaozhao opened the Sumeru bag and chanted a spell, and a small flying boat slowly appeared before everyone.

The flying boat is shining brightly, small and exquisite. It looks inconspicuous, but it contains powerful spiritual fluctuations.

"Everyone, please get on board. We will set off for the Black Wind Mountains now." Xie Gaozhao called out and was the first to step onto the flying boat.

Jiang Song and others followed one after another. Wang Qian and Jiang Zhi seemed a little excited, looking around at the flying boat. The shadow still maintained that mystery, and the figure under the cloak almost merged with the shadow of the flying boat.

The flying boat started moving at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived at the city wall of the imperial capital, where there was a powerful city defense formation.

However, the formation did not hinder the flying boat they were riding. It passed through it easily and headed straight out of the city.

It seems that there is a close relationship between Tianbao Tower and the imperial court, otherwise this flying boat would not be able to pass through the city defense formation so easily.

The Black Wind Mountains, located a hundred miles outside the imperial capital, are steep and rugged with lush forests, making them an ideal habitat for monsters.

Therefore, this place has also become a place for many cultivators to train and hunt monsters.

The flying boat slowly descended over the Black Wind Mountains. Wang Qian and others got off the flying boat and looked around. They saw rolling mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and powerful auras of monsters wandering among the mountains and forests.

"Everyone, the old rules apply. If you need my help, it will be 10 medium-grade spirit stones at a time!" Xie Gaozhao stood on the flying boat, looking at everyone with a smile, looking confident.

Wang Qian sneered and said proudly, "Shopkeeper Gao Zhao, just wait and see. Today we will be able to show our skills to the fullest, and we won't need your help."

Jiang Zhi also smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes. He stroked the talisman in his hand, as if he had a perfect plan.

The shadow glanced at Xie Gaozhao lightly, and a disdainful smile seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth under his cloak, as if to say: Help? You are not worthy.

Jiang Song was too poor to afford this spirit stone, so naturally he would not take the initiative to ask Xie Gaozhao for help.

"Since you are so confident, I will wait and see." Xie Gaozhao did not get angry and continued to smile. "But remember, safety comes first. If you really encounter a monster that you cannot defeat, just let me know."

After saying that, he turned and went back into the cabin.

Xie Gaozhao is the manager of Tianbao Tower. He gets paid every time he leads a team to carry out a mission. If the prey captured by the team members is sold to Tianbao Tower, he can also get a certain commission.

Therefore, he was too lazy to go deep into the danger, and was willing to just watch safely from the periphery, and help at the critical moment for some extra fees.

Wang Qian and Youying headed in two different directions.

Jiang Zhize quickly caught up with Jiang Song, "Miss Luo, let's form a team, shall we? 50-50, and the materials consumed along the way will be shared equally according to Tianbao Tower's price. How do you think?"

To be honest, Jiang Song was actually quite uncomfortable with the idea of ​​forming a team and didn't dare to trust others anymore.

But the young man in front of him seemed quite sincere, and the conditions he offered were fair. He must be really willing to cooperate and gain experience.

Jiang Song pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then let's do as Mr. Jiang says."

Jiang Zhi heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, "Miss Luo is indeed straightforward. Jiang admires her."

So the two of them traveled together and went deep into the Black Wind Mountains.

There are dense forests in the mountains, but there are not as many monsters as imagined.

As the two of them traveled along the way, they didn't even see the shadow of a few low-level monsters, which made Jiang Song and Jiang Zhi feel a little strange.

"Mr. Jiang, don't you think that the Black Wind Mountains seem a little too quiet?" Jiang Song frowned. She keenly sensed a hint of unusual aura.

Jiang Zhi nodded, his expression solemn. "Indeed, this is true. Normally, demonic beasts are rampant in the Black Wind Mountains. Even in the outer areas, it shouldn't be this quiet."

"Could it be that someone came to clean up beforehand?" Jiang Song guessed, but then shook his head. "No, even if someone had cleaned up, there shouldn't be any traces of monster activity."

The two looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.

They all slowed down their pace and moved forward cautiously, while releasing their spiritual power to sense the movements around them.

Suddenly, a faint fishy wind blew by, and Jiang Song and Jiang Zhi's faces changed at the same time.

"Be careful!" Jiang Zhi shouted softly and retreated quickly.

At the same time, Jiang Song also reacted quickly and jumped to the side.

A black shadow passed by where they were originally standing at an extremely fast speed, bringing up a fishy wind.

When the two of them looked closely, they found that it was actually a huge black demon wolf. There was a bloodthirsty light in its eyes, and it was obvious that it had regarded them as prey.

"So it was this guy who was causing all the trouble. No wonder all the monsters nearby have disappeared." Jiang Zhi snorted coldly, quickly pinching the talisman in his hand, ready to launch an attack.

Jiang Song also gripped his two swords tightly, staring at the demon wolf in front of him with cold eyes.

This black demon wolf was obviously not an ordinary demon beast. The aura it exuded was powerful and violent, more powerful than any demon beast they had encountered before.

"Mr. Jiang, be careful. This demon wolf may not be simple." Jiang Song reminded.

Jiang Zhi nodded, his expression solemn, "Don't worry, Miss Luo, I will be careful."

As he spoke, the talisman in his hand was completed, and a golden light flashed and headed straight for the black demon wolf.

The demon wolf didn't seem to be afraid of the golden light. It opened its bloody mouth, roared, and swallowed the golden light directly.

Jiang Zhi's expression changed slightly when he saw this, but he did not panic. Instead, he quickly pinched another talisman.

This time, it was a much thicker bolt of lightning, mixed with destructive power, which struck the black demon wolf fiercely.

At the same time, Jiang Song also launched an attack. Her figure was as fast as lightning, and she instantly came to the side of the demon wolf. The two swords in her hands carried sharp sword energy and pierced the demon wolf's ribs.

Although the black demon wolf was powerful, it seemed a little overwhelmed by the joint attack of the two.

It roared and dodged continuously, trying to avoid the deadly attack.

However, Jiang Zhi's thunder spell was extremely fast and powerful. Even though the demon wolf dodged in time, it was still hit by the thunder.

Suddenly, a puff of green smoke came out of its body, and the charred marks were clearly visible.

Jiang Song's sword also took the opportunity to leave a deep wound on the wolf's body that was visible to the bone.

The black demon wolf felt pain and roared even more violently. It flashed and turned into a black shadow, heading straight for Jiang Zhi.

Obviously, it thought Jiang Zhi was the weaker of the two and planned to kill him first.

Jiang Zhi's face changed slightly when he saw this, but he did not panic. Instead, he quickly took out a defensive talisman from his arms and stuck it on his body.

A layer of golden light quickly enveloped him, blocking the black wolf's attack.

At the same time, Jiang Song also launched an attack again. She appeared behind the black demon wolf like a ghost, and the long sword in her hand, with a sharp sword energy, pierced straight into its back.

However, this black demon wolf was extremely cunning. It seemed to have anticipated Jiang Song's attack route long ago. It slightly turned its body at the critical moment and actually avoided the fatal blow.

Seeing this, Jiang Song was not discouraged. Instead, he swept his sword across, slashing at the wolf's waist, and the other sword pierced its abdomen. The attack was as fierce as a storm.

The black demon wolf roared angrily, dodged quickly, and at the same time slapped out with a claw, colliding with Jiang Song's drawn swords.

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal clashing. Jiang Song only felt the two swords in his hands shake, and he was hit by the claw of the demon wolf and almost flew out of his hands.

She was shocked and thought to herself that the power of this demon wolf was indeed extremely strong, and she actually lost to it in strength.

However, Jiang Song does not rely solely on brute force. She flashed and fought with the black demon wolf again.

Jiang Zhi also took the opportunity to walk out of the defensive shield, constantly pinching talismans in his hands to provide long-range support for Jiang Song.

The two of them, one far away and one close, cooperated well and gradually forced the black demon wolf into a desperate situation.

Although the demon wolf was powerful and cunning, it seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the joint attack of the two.

There were more and more wounds on its body, blood was dripping, and its breath was gradually becoming weaker.

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, the black demon wolf could no longer hold on, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Jiang Song and Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. They smiled at each other, with a gleam of victory in their eyes.

Although the black demon wolf was powerful, it was eventually defeated by their combined forces.
