Mythical Cultivation

After saying that, Nangong Wending gently patted Wu Ming's shoulder to show his concern.

Wu Ming was about to respond when Nangong Wending suddenly turned around and continued to Zhou Ling, "Zhou Ling, I'm sure you understand the eldest master's intentions. The successful completion of this mission is secondary, but the safety of both of you is of paramount importance. Especially for Wu Qi, you must pay extra attention and never let him fall into danger. This is of paramount importance. Remember this!"

As he spoke, Nangong Wendi's eyes were always fixed on Zhou Ling, and his eyes were full of trust and entrustment.

"Commander, you can relax! We will definitely put safety first. I will take them out with me, and I will definitely be able to bring them all back smoothly." Zhou Ling looked confident and patted his chest to promise.

Wu Ming, who was standing nearby, looked somewhat puzzled. He said, "Commander Nangong, I am just an ordinary, insignificant palace guard. I really don't deserve your special instructions."

Wu Ming was worried in his heart. In recent days, he clearly felt that the two commanders seemed to be too lenient with him. The treatment was simply unusually good.

Could it be that this body of his was hiding some special identity unknown to the world? But he clearly remembered that Rio had once told him that he was an orphan with no one to rely on!

At this moment, Nangong Wending's expression suddenly turned serious. He stared at Wu Ming with a sharp gaze and asked in a deep voice:

"Wu Qi, do you have a lot of doubts in your heart? Actually, it's because you have lost your past memories. Otherwise, with your intelligence, you should be able to understand the reason. Then let me test you. Do you know how many of the two hundred guards in our mansion have successfully entered the realm of exorcism?"

This sudden question left Wu Ming dumbfounded. He was completely confused and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"You don't have to worry too much. Just tell us the truth about what you saw." Nangong Wending saw Wu Qi remained silent, so he spoke again to encourage him.

Wu Qi nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, Commander! According to what I have learned, among the guards in our mansion, only you and Commander Zhou Ling have reached the realm of driving objects. As for the others, I have not yet noticed anyone else who has such strength." Wu Qi reported truthfully with a serious face.

After listening to Wu Qi's words, Nangong Wending nodded with satisfaction and said slowly, "Wu Qi, you are right. Among the palace guards in our palace, only Zhou Ling and I can enter the realm of exorcising creatures. However, it is rare for someone as young as you to reach such a level!

You know, in all of Changping County, reaching the realm of exorcism before the age of twenty is a rare sight. Now you should understand why the palace treats you so differently, right? With your exceptional talent, given time, and barring any major setbacks, you'll definitely have the hope of breaking through to the Out-of-Body Realm."

Nangong Wending's words were like a revelation, instantly enlightening Wu Ming, who had been confused. It was only then that he finally understood why the Bai family had been so tolerant of him.

After figuring out the key points, Wu Ming's uneasiness disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a calm attitude of accepting the current situation.

"Commander, I understand." Wu Ming nodded respectfully. His eyes were firm and full of determination, as if he was fully prepared for the next mission.

"Well, then you should go back and prepare!" Nangong Wending nodded slightly and gave a serious instruction. He watched Wu Ming's departing back and thought to himself: I hope this operation can be completed successfully.

Night fell, and all was silent. Wu Ming, leading the other five, quietly left the Bai residence like ghosts. Clad in black nightgown, their figures quickly blended into the darkness. Moonlight, like water, shone on the ground, illuminating their hurried footsteps.

After leaving the city, the six of them chose not to follow the wide, flat roads, but instead chose to follow winding, less traveled paths. They nimbly moved through the wilderness, their bodies as agile as cheetahs, avoiding other pedestrians they might encounter.

Along the way, they were accompanied only by the rustling of the grass and the occasional cry of a night owl.

They kept on traveling like this until the eastern sky began to turn pale and the dawn light gradually dispelled the haze of the night. The six people had already traveled nearly two hundred miles without stopping and successfully got away from the Changling County area.

Only then did they stop, take a short rest, and take off their night clothes, revealing their original faces.

In the days that followed, they continued their leisurely pace, stopping and starting along the way to admire the scenery and exchange thoughts and concerns about the mission. Time slipped by quietly in this atmosphere of mixed relaxation and tension.

One day five days later, they finally arrived at a small town called Heishui Town, which was said to be the closest town to their destination, Heilongzhai.

From a distance, the town is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, like a tranquil and peaceful pastoral painting.

However, Wu Ming and others knew very well that beneath this seemingly calm surface, there might be countless unknown dangers hidden.

There is a seemingly peaceful and tranquil town under a notorious underworld stronghold. There must be a reason behind this.

Either there was some force in the town that was on par with the Black Dragon Stronghold, preventing it from making any advances. Or, this Blackwater Town had long been controlled by the Black Dragon Stronghold, and the people in the town were all connected to it.

"Everyone, after five days, we have finally arrived at the mission location. From now on, don't call me commander anymore, just call me big brother, this way you can avoid exposing your identity." Zhou Ling stepped into the town and gave instructions to the people behind him with a serious face.

"yes, Sir!"

Wu Ming and the other five responded in unison, their voices uniform and loud.

Afterwards, they found an inn in the town that looked clean and tidy, intending to rest there for a while and discuss how to best complete the next task.

After everyone was seated in the room, one of the palace guards was the first to ask, "Brother, how can we find out what's going on in Black Dragon Village?"
