Mythical Cultivation

Seeing everyone's intense reaction to this matter, Nangong Wending was secretly delighted. He knew exactly what everyone was thinking, so he announced without hesitation:

"Since all of you brothers hold such a firm belief, our mission this time is to completely wipe out the evil Black Dragon Stronghold! Anyone interested in participating in this operation can go to Commander Zhou to register. However, only the first 100 will be selected; the rest will have to stay in the mansion to defend it."

After hearing Nangong Wending's words, the emotions of the people present became increasingly high, and they were all eager to try and scramble to sign up.

However, it is regrettable that despite everyone's enthusiasm, Nangong Wending can only select the top 100 most outstanding applicants to carry out this difficult and important task.

This decision made the palace guards who were ranked behind and failed to be selected feel dissatisfied and complain. They whispered to each other, with disappointment and unwillingness on their faces.

"Brothers, please listen to me!"

Seeing that the scene was gradually becoming noisy and chaotic, Nangong Wending hurriedly shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the situation.

"Although you haven't been chosen at this moment, this doesn't mean you can't avenge your fallen brothers. On the contrary, since this operation will divert most of the elite forces within the mansion to Black Dragon Stronghold, the responsibility of remaining here and guarding the mansion naturally falls on you.

It can be said that the responsibility you bear is not light, but rather even more important and crucial. Therefore, I hope everyone can be fully alert and not slack off even in the slightest. After all, this mansion still depends on your dedicated protection!

After hearing Nangong Wending's heartfelt words, the palace guards who were originally full of complaints suddenly quieted down and began to think seriously about the mission they were shouldering.

After a while, voices began to respond from the crowd: "Don't worry, Commander, we will do our best to protect our mansion!"

"That's right! Even a tiny fly can't get in right under our noses!"

For a time, various firm and powerful assurances were heard one after another.

When Nangong Wendi saw the scene before him, he knew that he had successfully appeased the palace guards.

So he waved his hand gently, indicating that the guards who were not selected to participate in this mission could disperse and return to their original posts to perform their duties.

After these palace guards left, Nangong Wending turned around and faced the many palace guards who stayed behind. He said solemnly and firmly, "Brothers, you are all elites who have gone through layers of screening and finally got to participate in this difficult mission.

There's still some time left before the operation, so everyone should go back and prepare! Those who need to say goodbye to their loved ones should do so immediately, and those who need to gather the necessary medicines should do so as quickly as possible. Remember, tonight at midnight is the time for our official departure."

Hearing Nangong Wending's words, all the palace guards, including Wu Ming and Li Yue, bowed and responded, "Yes, Commander!"

Afterwards, everyone began to disperse slowly and in an orderly manner.

On the way back to his residence, Li Yue could hardly contain his excitement. He turned to look at Wu Ming beside him and said excitedly:

"Aqi, I never thought this day would come so soon! We're about to avenge those brothers who died tragically! And, this time we finally have a chance to seek justice for you. If it weren't for those evil thieves, how could you have lost your memory?"

After saying that, Li Yue clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and expectation.

"Ayue, this Black Dragon Village is not a kind place! You must be very careful and cautious in this mission and ensure your own safety, because this mission is definitely not as simple as it seems."

Wu Ming looked solemnly at Li Yue, who seemed a little too excited, and gave him a serious warning.

After saying this, he couldn't help but recall that horrifying night when he and Deputy Commander Zhou Ling were lurking in the dark and accidentally overheard a crucial conversation.

During that conversation, Shen Hao and Gao Mingyuan mentioned that there was a mysterious, unidentified figure above them. It was this unknown figure who was the true mastermind behind the Black Dragon Village's open opposition to the Bai Mansion.

When he thought of this, Wu Ming's heart couldn't help but hang in his arms. He secretly wondered whether Li Yue would accidentally run into that hidden big shot when he went to Heilongzhai to carry out the mission this time?

"Aqi, don't worry! I know my own limitations and I wouldn't dare confront those powerful thieves head-on."

Li Yue patted his chest nonchalantly and responded carelessly.

In fact, when he heard Wu Ming's concern for him, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. After all, after spending so much time together, he and Wu Ming had finally become a lot closer.

After the palace guards left, Nangong Wending and Zhou Ling walked side by side towards a spacious hall. Entering the hall, they saw two people sitting there.

One of them was tall and straight, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows. This person was the eldest son of the Bai family - Bai Junze; and the other person was wearing a light pink long dress, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face as charming as a blooming flower. She was the third lady of the Bai family - Bai Ningzhu.

"Master, Miss, I have already made proper arrangements for all the palace guards. When night falls and the second watch begins, we can set off." Nangong Wendi respectfully clasped his hands and reported to the two people in the hall.

Bai Junze slowly stood up upon hearing the voice, looked at Nangong Wending with a smile, and said loudly, "Uncle Nangong has always been reliable and prudent in his work, and I can trust him. This time, I have to rely on Uncle Nangong to lead the guards to wipe out the abominable Black Dragon Stronghold. On the one hand, we can avenge those guards who unfortunately died, and on the other hand, we can also eliminate this huge disaster for the people of Changping County!"

Between their words, Bai Junze showed his respect and trust for Nangong Wending.

You know, Nangong Wending had been with Bai Junze's father since he was a child, and he had a deep bond with the Bai family. Therefore, Bai Junze respectfully addressed him as "Uncle" not only out of courtesy, but also to strengthen their relationship.
