Mythical Cultivation

Afterwards, everyone took action, quickly found a suitable place, sat on the ground, took out dry food and water bottles from their bags, and began to eat in silence with the clear and cold mountain spring water.

The entire camp was hushed, with only the occasional sounds of chewing and drinking water. Everyone tacitly lowered their voices and spoke softly, fearing to accidentally disturb the Black Dragon Village bandits who were so close.

Li Yue was incredibly excited. Filled with anticipation and nervousness, he slowly moved over to sit down next to Wu Ming. "Ah Qi, I'm so excited right now! I'm about to go up the mountain and face those bandits!" Li Yue said to Wu Ming, his fists clenched, his voice trembling slightly.

Wu Ming turned his head to look at Li Yue, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't be nervous, relax. It's just a small bandit camp. Look, our mansion has dispatched three powerful priests this time! With them in charge, we are sure to win this battle and will surely win a great victory!"

"Yes, I know." Li Yue responded without hesitation after hearing Wu Ming's words. His calm and firm voice seemed to give people a sense of reassurance.

At this moment, just as Wu Ming and Li Yue were having a pleasant conversation, suddenly, a faint but clear voice came to Wu Ming's ears: "Wu Qi, come here." The voice came from Nangong Wending who was not far away.

Wu Ming was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted. He turned to Li Yue beside him and whispered, "I have something to deal with. You should rest here, recharge your energy, and wait for follow-up actions." After that, Wu Ming walked quickly in the direction of Nangong Wending.

Soon, Wu Ming arrived at where Nangong Wending and three other elders were sitting. Nangong Wending was looking at him seriously, while the three elders sitting beside him appeared calm and composed, emitting a faintly powerful aura.

"Commander Nangong, what do you want to talk to me about?" Wu Ming asked respectfully.

Nangong Wending nodded, then pointed to the three elders beside him and said slowly, "Wu Qi, these three are the masters specially sent by the eldest son to assist us in the siege of Black Dragon Village. You should have heard about this matter, right?"

Wu Ming looked in the direction Nangong Wending pointed, his gaze settling on the three elders. Not wanting to be indifferent, he quickly bowed and saluted the three elders, politely saying, "Junior Wu Qi, greeting the three seniors."

"Ah, Young Master Wu, you're so modest! We've all heard of this remarkable person appearing in your mansion—not even twenty years old yet, yet he's already successfully entered the coveted realm of exorcism! We're so lucky to meet him today. It's true that hearing about him is worse than seeing him in person!"

The old man had a kind look on his face, his eyes fell gently on Wu Ming, and he spoke slowly.

As the servants of the mansion, these old men knew about the newly emerged talented young man named Wu Qi, but they had never had the chance to see his true appearance before.

I never thought I would unexpectedly run into him here today, and discover that this legendary genius was actually the person before me. At this moment, the other two old men also cast friendly glances at Wu Ming.

"That's right! Look at you, little friend Wu. Not only are you incredibly powerful, but you're also incredibly handsome and elegant! In comparison, we old bones pale in comparison! In my opinion, with your outstanding talents, you'll definitely have a bright future with unlimited potential!"

Another old man stroked his beard and agreed with a smile.

Hearing the three highly respected priests praising him so highly, Wu Ming quickly clasped his fists in greeting and responded sincerely, "You three are truly too kind! I am just a bit luckier. Thanks to the blessing of heaven, I was able to enter this realm of exorcism."

If we talk about true strength and experience, the difference between me and the seniors is simply like heaven and earth! I will need your guidance in the future. I will humbly learn from you and will not dare to slack off in the slightest..."

Wu Ming knew that although these words were somewhat polite, as the saying goes, a sedan chair is carried by everyone, and who would not like to hear some pleasant and nice words?

"Stop praising each other endlessly. I called Wu Qi here specifically to discuss something serious and important."

Nangong Wending couldn't stand the four people's constant flattery and quickly interrupted. His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.

Upon hearing this, the four people who were originally praising each other happily fell silent. After looking at each other, one of the elders smiled awkwardly and quickly responded, "Alas, it's all because we old guys are ignorant and busy chatting. Commander Nangong, please get down to business!"

Nangong Wending nodded, turned his gaze to Wu Ming beside him, and said solemnly: "After a discussion among us, we decided to launch an encirclement and suppression operation against Black Dragon Village tonight. First, let the three priests in our mansion hide quietly in the dark and be ready to provide support at any time.

If there is no other group of people hiding in the Black Dragon Village who kidnapped the eldest son, then with the strength of the two of us and many brothers, it should be enough to take down the entire Black Dragon Village in one fell swoop. At that time, the three priests will not even need to take action personally.

But if that group of villains is really hiding in the Black Dragon Village, the three of us can suddenly attack as a surprise force, catching them off guard and killing them without leaving a single piece of armor! I wonder if you have any opinions or suggestions on this plan?"

Wu Ming nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course, I will completely obey the commander's orders and arrangements without the slightest objection."

Seeing Wu Ming's statement, the three old men also bowed and said:

"Commander Nangong, please rest assured and make the arrangements. We three old men don't have any other skills. We just need to kill the enemy. As for other matters, you can make the final decision!"

The strength of these three priests was so formidable that they could rival or even surpass Commander Nangong. Moreover, judging by their age, they were obviously much older than Nangong Wending.

However, what is admirable is that despite having such advantages, they did not rely on their qualifications to act arrogantly or take advantage of their seniority.

There were two reasons for this: First, long before the departure, the eldest son of the Bai family had clearly designated Nangong Wending as the person in charge of this operation. Faced with the eldest son's decision, these priests knew that they could not easily disobey him, so as not to offend his authority;
